The Twenty Second Trial

Who: You
When: Day 49, Morning
Where:

The entrance today is a huge, ornate stone archway. A gossamer veil glittering like starlight upon water hangs inside it, fluttering as if caught in a gentle breeze. It's impossible to say what might lie beyond; even if you walk around the other side — and it's perfectly possible to do so — you just see the same thing.

I'm extremely trouble.

Even if it weren't literally my job to look after you, you wouldn't be trouble.

Goddess, fuck, that's right. I've got you obligated.

Randy, I swear to Aidios if you start thinking like that I'll bully you relentlessly until you stop.

I want you to be mine, too rely on me when you're down. That's not tickle. That's being you friend. And we're a lot more than that too. I want you to think of me as someone you can be totally selfish with. Please.

...Sorry, I was being a dick.

A little. You're allowed from time to time. No one is at their best when bleeding and stressed out.

Even so, I don't wanna just... I'm sorry.

[Kissing the top of his head and opening the medical car.]

You're forgiven.

[Said softly and lightly. He wasn't mad to begin with Randy! Just worried.]

[rean is too good :(

randy tucks his face against his shoulder and whines.]

It's okay.

[Soft and reassuring, taking him to a medical pod]

You'll stay til I'm out?

Yeah. I'll be right here.

Okay. Sorry. Thanks.

[if he's not alone probably the shit clawing at reality can't get him?]

Any time.

Seriously. You only have to want me there and call my name and I'll come for you. Outside of trials.

If you say it like that I'll want to monopolize you.

Is that so bad?

M'lucky to be yours in the first place. I don't wanna overdo it and shoulder someone else out.

And you worry that you aren't a good guy.

[Sets him in the pod and cups his face, leaning in.]

You and Crow both have claim to me. But I said it before. I want you to act selfish with me. I'll definitely make time for both of you, no matter what. So act spoiled sometimes. Demand my attention when you want it.

[hm it is probably a bad idea to kiss Rean when he's so fucked in the head but like

also

he's in reach and keeps saying cute things?]

[I mean if he's going for it Rean will kiss back.]

[LET'S DO THIS LIFE CHOICE THEN]

[Keeping Randy's face cupped and kissing him back without hesitation. Look, maybe it'll show Randy he's not mad or obligated or anything else, he just purely likes him. He's at least trying his best to convey that nonverbally.]

[it is pleasantly distracting, even if the rest is having trouble getting through his fear-addled mind. he can kiss Rean like he's drowning and Rean is air, if nothing else.]

[Good. Thoroughly kissing Randy before pulling back.]

You're going to be okay and I'll be right here, so don't worry.
