[OH MY GOD.

She makes a baffled little noise that he'd keEP GOING but yes she's definitely trying to hit him with the pillow again!!

It's less about actually being bothered by the puns--she's not--and more about having a way to lighten everything up and shake off the last dredges of her nightmares.

And besides, she likes making Mephisto laugh.]

[And everything went all according to plan--]

[When she aims the pillow towards his face again, this time, he's prepared. He quickly grabs her by the wrist mid-swing with one hand, before reaching out to tilt up her chin with the other -- leaning in to steal a kiss on her lips.]

[...even as the pillow still hits the top of his head, probably. But he clearly doesn't mind.]

[Another baffled noise--it's little things like this that serve as a reminder that despite his general...everything, Mephisto is much more than he appears. His agility catches her off guard and the kiss even more so.

But the kiss is welcomed, at least, and Mipha lets go of the pillow to let it fall somewhere off to the side as she returns it. This is certainly a good distraction from her troubles too, so she's not about to complain much.]

Cheater. [She mumbles accusingly]

Demon. [He murmurs a soft correction before going back in for the kiss. Although it certainly started out far more sweet than sensual, as he slides his hand up her arm to rest around her shoulders, he starts pulling her in closer -- and then on top of him as he lays back down.]

[It still surprised him at times how much he enjoyed this casual intimacy between then. Could he have even imagined himself doing something like this back home-- with anyone? Of course not. And yet now that he had something like this in his life, someone like Mipha in his arms... it was hard to imagine going without it.]

[She laughs at that, smiling into the kiss and letting herself be drawn in and down. She shifts just a little to make sure they're comfortable before settling in against him, leaning down for another drawn out kiss, her tongue sweeping against his lips.

They were without a doubt the oddest pair that probably no one would have ever seen coming, and while she used to imagine a life with Link, lately her idle fantasies had edged Link out entirely with Mephisto taking his place. If moments--days--could continue on like this... Well, Mipha couldn't think of anything better. She wanted a place by his side for as long as they could have it.

She breaks the kiss to stare down at him for a moment, her expression full of open fondness and adoration. Her other hand mirrors his earlier, only sliding down his arm to find his hand and link their fingers together.] You're very lucky you're cute. [Otherwise that counterattack might not have worked!!]

[Normally he might not like being called cute, but... in this context, he can really only agree that his behavior around her is far different than with others. An open playfulness that holds none of the malice he frequently carries with him. There are no ulterior motives here -- even if he does take the opportunity to deepen the kiss at the feel of her tongue, his teeth tugging at her bottom lip as he pulls back.]

Well, I do make an effort. [He gives her hand a gentle squeeze, the other reaching up to brush against her cheek.]

[It feels nice to just lay like this, to laugh and pretend their world begins and ends with the four walls of their bedroom. Her room?

She leans into his hand, smiling. She gives a soft hum and adopts a thoughtful look, like she's trying to decide something.] I suppose you've been good enough. Would you like to claim your reward?

[Since she said they could pick up where they left off if he was good and all]

Hmm? You mean there's something more rewarding than getting to lay by your side like this?

[...it takes a special skill to be able to say a line like that with a completely straight face.]

[Of course, the fact that it ends with a grin kinda gives away that he's saying it because he knows that he wasn't the only one left a little frustrated by her trick earlier. He knows u #thirsty, gurl.]

[fuck you don't call her out like this.

She actually looks a little baffled and momentarily caught off guard.]

...You're so mean. [Says the girl who totally blueballed him a couple hours ago. Mipha's totally pouting a little, and it may be slightly exaggerated.] But I suppose if you're still too tired that laying here is all you capable of doing, I can't be too upset. Recovering can take longer the older one is...

[She begins to giggle though and smiles sheepishly.] ...Was that a little too mean? [SHE WAS TRYING... BUT THEN SHE FELT BAD...]

[He snickers alongside her, not in the least bit offended -- finding that pout of hers to be be far too charming for her own good.]

Oh no, not at all! But if you're going in that direction, I hope you realize it says far more about you, to be lying in bed alongside someone old enough to be your--

--you know, let's just ignore that.

[HE'S TOO OLD THE JOKE IS TOO REAL]

[But he's going to make sure she ignores it, because in the next moment, he's wrapping his arms around her and turning them over -- getting her on her back and sweeping her into a kiss.]

[Mipha stares at him a moment in amused expectation, with an expression that seems to say, 'Oh no, do go on, I'm going to enjoy seeing how you try to get out of this one.'

Mephisto takes the easy way out though and she bursts into bright laughter as he flips them over, her arms going around his neck as she returns the kiss with a grin. Her heart feels full in that moment, a deep feeling of content and wonder, like the world's shifted nearly perfectly back into balance. There's just the two of them and this room and she loves... This. Yes.]

You're absolutely ridiculous. [She mumbles once the kiss breaks] Why do I put up with you? [Truly a question for the ages]

Edited 2018-04-14 14:06 (UTC)

Oh, the questions that keep me up at night. [It is a fair question when Mephisto is involved tbh, but it's not one he's going to ask now, instead focusing all his attention on Mipha as he peppers kisses down towards her neck.]

[After being stopped in the middle of things earlier, he was eager to get things heated again, having missed this closeness and intimacy while his body was still injured. He's already partially undressed from when she healed him earlier, relishing the feeling of her smooth skin against his own...]

Mm... say, why don't we do something special tonight?

[This sounds more ominous than he's going for.]

[Mipha sighs softly, running a hand through Mephisto's hair. He was right though, in that even if it wasn't sex, it was enough of a reward just to be close to him like this.

Yeah that does sound ominous though.] Something special? [She echoes him curiously, sitting up a little to look at him better.] What did you have in mind?

[He doesn't reply, just grinning as she sits up to look at him. And with a snap of his fingers and a little poof of smoke--]

[And out comes the tail. Immediately wagging behind him, showing just how good his mood is right now.]

It's been a while, hasn't it?

[There's a startled noise and then a delighted laugh. This is cute??]

I did miss seeing it. [She wants to tease him that his 'good behavior' didn't outweigh his earlier problem of hiding his wounds from her and all, but she'll let it slide. She's pretty happy to see it too, after all.] I was wondering if you'd pull it out again tonight, since you'd... enjoyed yourself so much last time.

[For lack of a better word.]

[Ahh, that laugh was exactly what he was aiming for! His tail wags a bit faster.]

You say that as if you didn't enjoy yourself as well. Why, I'd say you seem rather fond of having me in the [Ahem] palm of your hand.

[More stupid jokes... not even boners can bring them to an end.]

Edited 2018-04-15 08:03 (UTC)

[Mipha closes her eyes as if that joke has caused her physical pain.]

I think, suddenly and without any provocation, I'd also like to try something different. Something like gagging you, so you can't make those jokes anymore.

[End her. It's also a little easier to say things like this when she's not looking at him and can't see if/when he's laughing at her.]

[Oh, so she's not looking? Then she'll miss the look of pure contemplation on Mephisto's face as he suddenly falls silent, as if very seriously considering this thought... or maybe he's just trying to think of the most embarrassing reply he can come up with in response to gain the upperhand.]

Well, why stop there? Shall we try out that leash and collar idea of yours from before? Or would you prefer I fetch a solid pair of handcuffs?

[SHOCKINGLY NOT LAUGHING but this face tho. If only because he doesn't actually think Mipha has it in her to be that kinky.]

[Her eyes snap open wide in surprise, spluttering as she scrambles to think of a response. Unable to think of anything witty enough quick enough, she falls quiet and just looks at him a moment, before tilting her head curiously]

...Would you like that? I-- [She glances away, disengaging for a second to collect herself even as her face turns red] I'm hardly as experienced as you in these things, but, if you'd enjoy it... I'd be willing to try it for you.

I do recall you like it when I bite you sometimes... [Though she didn't usually do it consciously.]

[...wait is she for real???]

[It shouldn't really surprise him, her being willing to do something if it meant pleasing him. But jokes aside, he's not so sure how well that would work out. Aadism and Mipha are basically polar opposites.]

[His tail is totally wagging more tho as he thinks about it.]

Ahah... really? I wasn't exactly being serious, but-- I can't deny those sort of things do fall under my usual interests. Why, if anything, I'd say my time with you is more of an exception than a rule!

[Which says a lot more than he realizes, for him to enjoy being with Mipha as much as he does despite usually preferring his sexual experiences to be considerably more rough.]

[Mipha pauses a moment. While typically she wouldn't want to 'spoil the mood,' or anything, she's also a pretty firm believer in open communication--especially now that she's had her second chance at life and all. She tilts her head and frowns, considering.]

But you're usually pretty gentle with me... Even though you really don't have to be. [She really doesn't mind, she just has difficulties reciprocating since it's not typically in her nature. But while she's a healer first and foremost, she is also a warrior and, you know, shark-based. There's a thrill that gets her blood singing when it comes to getting rougher, to fighting and battle and the like, but it's not really, you know, civil for a zora to lose themselves in such things.]

Does it bother you? I mean-- Do you want me to be more like that? [Not that she's particularly worried about him losing interest in her if she can't or won't meet those expectations, but she is curious. And... maybe a touch self-conscious about her own relative inexperience.]

I wouldn't say it's a matter of feeling as though I have to, but... I don't think I'd enjoy hurting you.

[Because he loves her too much to-- whOA THERE WHERE DID THAT THOUGHT COME FROM]

[It occurs to him almost immediately that that's his reasoning for it. And it has him suddenly feeling significantly more vulnerable than he did a few seconds earlier, tail curling up closer to his body. It's not that he'd refuse to be rough because of these feelings, but rather, it's because of these feelings that he's never gone out of his way to push for it! That's why he's never tried to--]

[Wait, never? Since when? How long has this actually been his thought process with regards to Mipha?? Shit.]

And-- in any case, it doesn't bother me at all! It's not in a demon's nature to do people-- things with people if they don't enjoy them! Ah, what I mean is-- you're perfect the way you are, really!

Not... that I'd be opposed to trying something new, but-- not if it were only for my sake? I know you don't like hurting people.

[So how much of that did Mipha actually catch when it started to become obvious how ridiculously flustered this conversation is making him for some reason?]

Um...

[If there was anyone who she suspected to get flustered about all of this, it was herself, not Mephisto. And even though she was sort of able to follow along and understand what he was trying to say...]
