Dice Our Shenanigans

- Isa Bianchi -
“Surprises galore~”​

“I got this as part of a reward from Sen. The crockpot and recipe book is the same, a reward I requested for banishing the Tuilpost.” Isa explained, his smile growing warm and relaxed as Moss held each knife. “Wanted to make the scary memories turn into good ones for ya.”

Wrapping his arms around the merman, hugging back and squeezing timidly, Isa pecked his wet cheek. “W-well I- hm?!” His cheeks somewhat squished by Moss’ hands, making his lips pucker, the redhead was kissed. His heart skipped a beat~ His hands felt tingly again, one cupping behind Moss’ hand. Is his legs shaking again? It is.

His goofy smile plastered on his flushed red face. “I’m jusf happy being wifh ya~” He was kissed once more and he kissed back. Hugging Moss again and squeezing his waist, Isa leaned back. Gasping a bit and dazed. “Though more kisses are good~ I like your kisses~”

"You didn't ask anything for yourself? But, why, Isa? Why do all these things for me? I haven't done as much for you." He smiled and then kissed him again when he said he wanted more kisses. He looked at him, caressing his face.

“It’s your dream.” Isa mumbled, nuzzling his cheeks into Moss‘s hands. Making them plump.

”I know you only have your friends in mind. Neglecting your dreams in the process. So I thought, why not give ya a little head start? This is a practical method, ya can use them everyday, hone your skills with each meal ya make in your travels while reaching your goal for your friends. This way, when ya make a meal for them, they can taste your care every time.”

Arrow of love struck his heart. This cinnamon roll man!

Moss was very moved. He tenderly, ever so gently rubbed Isa's cheeks, then kissed his forehead. He sighed in longing. "I wish we didn't have to part." He sighed some more. " I don't really know about the things that you like, except for spicy food, weird food combinations, fluff, ruins and history, teasing, and cuddling, making things with your hands." he held his black hands.

"Tell me what to do for you, anything. Forget about being shy or hesitant with me, no matter how crazy it is, tell me what I can do for you."

”I wish we didn’t have to part either.” Isa mumbled, happy-drunk from Moss’ tender care. His heart can’t skip a beat since it’s racing again. He snorted a bit as the merman listed down what he likes. ”I think that’s a very good start on knowing my likes. Hm?”

As Moss grabbed his bare hands, feeling his strong pulse, Isa tilted his head. At the offer, he bit his bottom lip. There is one thing . . . It’s been hanging over his head for a while now and he didn’t know how to bring it up before. Now is a good chance . . .

”Okay.” Isa started, taking a deep breath. ”Can I ask ya to listen what I’m about to say until the end? Ya can judge me afterwards?”

"Alright?" said Moss very curiously. "Shall we sit?" He gestured to the bed where he continued to hold Isa's hands as he listened.

​

With a silent nod, he sat on the bed with Moss. Not letting go of his hands and squeezing gingerly as he took a deep breath to stay relaxed.

”Okay. Remember that I gave ya a lot of alchemicals before your trip to the Ciros ruins?” The redhead gulped, wincing. “Well . . . I drank a charm potion after ya went off to buy your equipment...to convince ya to take ‘em.....I’m sorry.”

"What?!" said Moss looking at Isa in disbelief. "You tricked me? But why? Why do you need to give me things when I don't want them? . . . Is it because you feel sorry for me for not having much?" He looked away, offended in a looked-down-on kind of manner, the way a poor person does when their dignity is being lowered by acts of unwanted kindness from folks much richer than them.

He let go of his hands. "Or that I'm someone to be taken care of instead of relied upon?" Moss' jaw settled in a hard line.

“Because I wanted to talk with ya more while ya were away.” Isa sighed, shoulders slumped. Disheartened by the accusations and action, but he doesn’t blame him for thinking that way. Still . . . It stung.

“I knew Leyline messages required alchemicals for you. So I figured since I don’t have that spell, I can, at least, help supply the one who does have the leyline spell. I thought it would be fair on my part and we wouldn’t be limited to 30 words every time we talked.” He wilted, head down in shame, and back hunched over a bit. Oh no, he can feel a familiar burn behind his eyes.

“I only wanted to talk with ya more. I never looked down on ya or felt the need to look after ya even when I’m terrified of losing ya because I know ya can care for yourself unless ya absolutely can’t.”

"But I didn't want your help, Isa. I had enough spell components to talk to you." said Moss angrily. "Using magic to control me isn't right."

- Isa Bianchi -
“Their room, Chickadee tavern “​

“I know using magic to control ya isn’t right.” Isa nodded. “It’s why I sold most of the charm potions. The last one is just in case of the Templars bugging again, but I will throw it out when ya ask me to.“

”I didn’t know ya had enough spell component. All I know at that time is that you’ll be gone for week and that ya will talk with me in certain times.”

Zer0

 

[Zer0]

- Moss Adamaris -
"Their Room, Chickadee Tavern"​

"Still, no is no. I'm not going to ask you to throw it." he crossed his arms huffing. " Were there other times you used magic to manipulate me?"

“Their room, Chickadee tavern “​

“No, that was the only time.” Isa shuffled back, giving Moss space. Not looking up.

Zer0

 

[Zer0]

- Moss Adamaris -
"Their Room, Chickadee Tavern"​

"Okay . . ." He was silent for a while. Then he looked at Isa sternly. "Don't do that again."

Isa flinched, shutting his eyes closed. “I won’t.”

Zer0

 

[Zer0]

- Moss Adamaris -
"Their Room, Chickadee Tavern"​

His stern expression softened. "Alright then . . . I forgive you." He uncrossed his arms. "Can we hug?"

Katsuya

 

[Katsuya]

- Isa Bianchi -
“Their room, Chickadee tavern “​

Barely a slit did one of his eyes open as he shuffled close on the bed. Hesitant, Isa twiddled his fingers for a few seconds before timidly reaching his arms out to hug the merman. Barely putting his weight or strength into it like before.

Zer0

- Moss Adamaris -

Moss hugged Isa gently, then tightly. He huffed, still annoyed. Then patted his back. He stayed like that silently for a time.

“I’m sorry.” Isa whimpered, snapping his arms away, and keeping his hands up in the air. “I-I can go if ya want?”

Zer0

 

[Zer0]

- Moss Adamaris -
"Their Room, Chickadee Tavern"​

Despite himself Moss chuckled. "No, you're under arrest here." and continued to hug him.

Katsuya

- Isa Bianchi -
“Their room, Chickadee tavern “​

“. . .” Isa didn’t know what to do. He still felt the sting of guilt in his chest and he knows Moss is still angry at him. It doesn’t help that familiar burning behind his eyes is still there, just less intense. So the young adult just wilted in the hug, arms plopped down to his lap.

”O-okay.” After a quiet moment, Moss can feel Isa’s arms hesitatingly wrapping around him. As if testing the waters, carefully hearing any sorts of protest before squeezing a bit.

Zer0

Moss' squeezed back, resting his chin on his shoulder. He rubbed his back comfortingly. " I forgive you." he said reassuringly.

Katsuya

- Isa Bianchi -
“Their room, Chickadee tavern “​

Isa squeezed tight, timidly holding onto the back of his shirt. “O-okay.” He gulped. That burn is going away. “U-um . . . C-can I kiss your cheek? Ifthat’sokaywithya,ofcourse!Idunwannapush.”He rambled, whispering at the end.

- Moss Adamaris -

He couldn't resist a smile. Isa acts in funny ways when he's flustered. He thought about it. "No, I'm still annoyed at you." he said, though not unkindly. He squeezed Isa in the hug though, and leaned back so that they plopped on to their pillows. Moss was quiet, rubbing his back.

"Tell me if you want to get up and do anything."

“Okay. Okaaaaayy-!” Isa squeaked as Moss leaned back, closing his eyes as if he was getting ready for an impact. Only to land on top of something firm yet soft. He peeked a veiny- yellow indigo eye open. Then he shot his eyes wide open, body tensed up, and face turning red at the realization of their positions. He was on top of Moss!! Ahhhhhhh! Is this really okay?? Wasn’t he still annoyed?? He is so confused.

He barely comprehended what the merman said, frozen for a minute before shaking his head. “I-I . . . Alright.” Isa muttered hesitantly tucked his head under Moss’ chin, hot cheek on his collarbone. Just feeling a hand rubbing his back. Eventually, the redhead relaxed. That burning feeling was gone as he breathed and listened to the faint beating of Moss’ heart.
