most days, ralsei got by okay, but every once in awhile he felt something... break, crack just a bit, this emotional dam of sorts. concrete shifting, metal bending, nothing too worrisome in the moment, but. eventually, one day; this dam will come down. 🍰

today is that day, it'd seem, as ralsei sits at his desk, body wracked with shakes as waves of emotion come all at once. tears wet fluffy cheeks, he takes a shuddering breath as he tries to get himself under control, without much luck. 🍰

suddenly, his bedroom door creaks open: and, he turns to look at them, but not with sadness, but with fear. he jolts into action, to cover up his tears, he forces a smile as he stands, almost knocking his chair over in the process. 🍰

" a-ah, hello! my apologizes, darling, i must not of heard you knock... well, can i help you something, perhaps? " he giggles, but is clearly nervous. 🍰

[adoranoia]

'oh, what?' the ex-king begins with an ugly snarl, 'what are you gonna do, little prince? hug me to death, maybe sing me a song?' 'i could've killed you, you know, and your friends, too.' now, his tone edges on smug, 'and it would've been all your fault. isn't that fun?' 🍰

and yet, ralsei doesn't flinch, chair pulled up: he sits upright, legs crossed, staring down the much larger darkner, behind bars. he isn't sure what he was expecting, coming down here so late at night. a hint of guilt? of reflection? maybe that was just wishful thinking... wouldn't be the first time, anyway. 🍰

the prince sighs, absentmindedly pinching the bridge of his nose, pushing up his glasses a little in the process. he just thought, that maybe he could figure this out, for lancer, but... 🍰

" i see, i see... " he says, simply waving off the other's words, " you want to know what i think you are, mister spade? a coward. " " a man, scared out of wits because he was wrong. wrong about the lightners, wrong about the fountain, wrong about the knight... " " and you can't bare to admit it, even now, your ego too fragile. " 🍰

his voice is steady and calm, he doesn't feel the need to raise it, to waste anymore energy on this conversation. 🍰

" because of that? you've lost everything. your status, your family, your freedom... are you proud of yourself? do you at least still have that? i hope so. otherwise, what a sad, sad existence. " 🍰

suddenly, ralsei stands, paws carefully folded at his front, his chin lifted: his royal status really showed in small moments like these. 🍰

" ...well, i'm going to return to my chambers now, but. thank you for speaking with me, mister spade. this has certainly been... " he purses his lips, thinking how to best word this, " --enlightening, i suppose. " 🍰

" have a good rest of your night. " though the old king calls out for him, clearly enraged by his sharp words, they were done here. ralsei had said his piece. 🍰

he simply turns and walks out of the dungeon, not even pausing, not even sparing a look back; and the door closes behind him. 🍰

💬 + Asriel

@dyavol + @ahrencmeptn // send me 💬 + a name and my muse will talk about that person.

there's a quiet hum of curiosity, teacup drifting from his lips, meeting the plate below. he blinks a few times at the sudden question, before a light smile creeps across fluffy features. 🍰

" oh, asriel? well, i know he's got a bit of a thorny, (hehe), attitude, but i think he's a real sweetheart under all that sarcasm. i'm very lucky to be one of the folks that get to experience that other side of him, even if only for brief moments. " pause, a thoughtful one. 🍰

" i hope that... one day, asriel will feel comfortable enough around me to express himself more freely, without worry or regret. i suppose until then, i will continue to give him my best, and be a good friend to him. " a light blush settles across his cheeks, he absentmindedly twirls some stray fur around his clawed finger. 🍰

" ...don't tell him i said this, but: he's adorable though, isn't he? the way he pouts when i tease him, the way he scrunches up his nose when he laughs, the way he... " suddenly, he’d snap out of his day -dreaming state with a flustered start, realizing what he was doing. 🍰

"uh, but, p-perhaps i've said enough...! " 🍰

It was a strange thing, whenever Asriel appeared. He did not come from the normal way that Lightners did. He just wasn't there one moment and suddenly there the next. Again, that is what happened. As, again, Asriel was upon him. He did not respond to greetings, no, just strode forward with fluid confidence when spotted.

It was a sudden thing, the way he got closer than he often did. The way he used their nigh-equal height to be so dangerously close. To cause that hesitation, that surprise at his alien gesture to continue his advance. Paw taking the others as it became clawed vine, the other so smoothly curling around the other's back. How velvetlike his extra step forward prior forced the other prince off his footing, which suddenly was falling back. Only held up by the other's sudden insistence that, no, Ralsei must stay so close to him as they dipped low. In a practiced gesture that left the Prince of the Dark able to feel the stone just graze the key of his back.

How piercing sunsets loomed, like the sun in the sky that had never been seen before. How he was so close that they were the only things to really take in. So dangerously close that, if he'd needed to breathe, surely his breath would be felt on the other. The closeness that should lead to only one thing--

"You look like an idiot, little moon."

And, ah, just like that, that tender whisper, he drew back. Rose them both to a proper stand and disengaged, dipping gesture unfinished. It was certainly far more advanced than his usual teasing. It seems he wasn't a fan of Ralsei growing complacent and unreactive.

@ahrencmeptn // random asks, always accepting!  

ralsei had been out and about on his rounds around castle-town, checking in with the townsfolk, making sure everything was running smoothly, and the like. he turns a corner, when suddenly, he comes face to face with asriel! -- he jumps a little at his sudden appearance, but quickly realizes who it is and giggles. 🍰

" oh gosh, hello darling! it's lovely seeing you, as always. " he hums his words, still scribbling something in his grimoire, " just give me a few moments, the color cafe is my last stop, then we may--uh, what are you doing? " he finally looked up, lowered the book, and had realized asriel was only coming closer, much closer. 🍰 their faces hover inches apart, staring into each other's eyes, ralsei can't help but get swept up in the sudden intensity of it all. he allows himself to be dipped back, putting his full trust in asriel not to drop him. lips part slightly, cheeks flush a light shade of pink, as eyes dart from feature to feature on the other's face, as if trying to find something. 🍰

then, 'you look like a idiot, little moon', and all at once, it's over: he's back on his feet, though still a little weak in the knees. he's left reeling, trying to figure out what in the world just happened. he's still clearly blushing, and he lets out a shaky sigh, a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding. 🍰

but, well. if that's how this was gonna be... 🍰

" what a way to greet someone, hm? " he begins, absentmindedly fanning himself with his, now closed, grimoire -- but, only for emphasis, of course. 🍰

" i didn't know you liked me that much! hmm. we can chat more about it later. after i finish my rounds, you may have me all to yourself, yes? " with a wink, he begins walking past the other, but stops at his side, putting a hand on his shoulder. 🍰

" see you in a bit, my dearest. " then, a kiss on the cheek, and a giggle as he pushes the cafe door open, and finally walks inside, leaving asriel on his own. 🍰

" you have a brother? "

@chalkcrave​​ // random asks, always accepting!

ralsei freezes, realizing what he'd just done, he didn't mean to bring up his brother like that, so casually, but... sometimes, seeing, hearing certain things, he can't help but reminisce a little. now, he clears his throat awkwardly. 🍰

" --had a brother. " he gently corrects susie with a sad smile, eye's adverted elsewhere as he subtly fidgets with his paws. 🍰

" he was my older brother, his name was anlire, and... well, it's a long, sad story, that i probably shouldn't bore you with. " ralsei laughs, clearly nervous, then-- " ...my apologizes, i didn't mean to, ah. bring the mood down, so to speak. " 🍰

Picks him up by the scruff / rouxls :)

@carnivael​ // random asks, always accepting!

ralsei had been walking through castletown, eyes glued to his grimoire. sketching, scribbling down his newest ideas, a to do list, when all of sudden-- 🍰

" ack!-- " he drops his book, and almost begins flailing when he realizes who had picked him up, and lets out a big sigh of relief.  " gosh, mister rouxls, you frightened me! " the prince laughs, still sounding a little shaken up, but amused nonetheless. 🍰

" but, um... good morning! can i help you with something, perhaps? " 🍰

"They're a 10 but gosh they're an idiot..." You know who this is from.

@ahrencmeptn // send “they’re a 10, but..” and fill in the rest to call out my muse!

“ awww.. “ ralsei suddenly giggles sweetly behind asriel, who was seemingly unaware of his presence. when the other turns, the prince leans in a little, paws still politely tucked behind his back, “ you think i’m a ten, huh? ♡ “ 🍰

💭 you know what I want ( i wish sideblogs could send asks )

@ahrencmeptn // send 💭 for a thought my muse has had about yours.

the two had been hanging out as usual, in the garden this time, they sit together on a blanket they'd laid out, reading together, and snacking. eventually though, they grew tired of this and set the book aside, opting to sprawl out on their backs, their sides; and get comfortable instead. 🍰

inches apart, they continue to banter about this and that, ralsei even gets a laugh out of asriel with a certain joke, which he can't help but be a little proud of. as they watch the night sky sparkle above them, everything felt warm, all smiles and playfulness. 🍰

'i could get used to this...', he thinks, in passing. eventually, though there's a comfortable lull in their conversation, but ralsei's attention stays on asriel, which he really hopes the other doesn't notice. 🍰

his mind drifts, but finally settles on the memories of a week ago, when asriel dipped him, tried playing with his heart. of course, it backfired a bit, ending with ralsei's own retaliation: sweets words, and a kiss on the cheek, but. he'd been feeling a little... odd, since then. it was something hard to describe, it was-- 🍰

'i wish he'd kiss me, for real this time.', the thought is so quiet, he almost doesn't notice it, he pauses. then, all at once, it hits him, and his face flushes bright pink. breath caught in his throat, soul beating a mile a minute, it truly dawns on him. 🍰

“ i mean… i-i’m cool with sharing the bed if you are. ”

@chalkcrave // simping softness prompts!

another day, another adventure: this time through a tv -based dark world, hopping from genre to genre, scene to scene. but, eventually, they end up at a fancy-looking hotel, apparently it's where all the most high-end of darkners stay! 🍰

so it must be pretty special then that they've been invited to lay down their weapons, their heads, all for free of charge. the prince had to admit it did sound nice, taking a little break, weary after everything they've been through so far. there was one problem however, there were only two rooms available! but thankfully, it was quickly hashed out that ralsei and susie would just share. 🍰

once lead upstairs, kris is whisked away to their own room, leaving the other two to realize that the person at the front desk left out one, tiny, detail about their room. it only had one bed. 🍰

ralsei blinks a few times, turning to suzie, he had opened his mouth to say, 'hey, it's okay! i'll take the floor': but she beats him to the punch, to his surprise. was she stuttering...? she was embarrassed! how cute. 🍰

" ohhh, like a sleepover? " he asks, playing up his innocence a bit, for her sake. " i've always wanted to have one of those. it does sound rather fun... mm, i’ve decided! i accept! hehe. “ 🍰   with that, he makes his way to the bed, sitting down on the edge of the bed, he then looks at her and smiles, brightly. 🍰

" ...aw, come now. don't look at me like that. i don't bite, you know! " a wink, then a laugh. 🍰

@hexsided // send “they’re a 10, but..” and fill in the rest to call out my muse!  

ralsei jokingly huffs, his paws set on his hips, playing up his faux offence, “ hey, you’re the one that taught me it, y’know! i think my sarcasm is perfectly serviceable. meanie... “ (he’s pouting now.) 🍰
