@utsubotm : the first kiss is against his cheek, then another at his brow-- his forehead- his nose-- it continues until floyd stops to rub his face against azul's hair. he can't really curl around him the way he might had he been in his mer form. but both arms squeezing him in a hug will just have to do. / woe, flaz be upon ye

The sudden smothering is unexpected, but not entirely unprecedented. As opposed to his brother's preference of toying with his food before he eats it, Floyd often favors a more direct and hands on approach. Ordinarily Azul takes measures to prevent being either of their choice of prey, but Floyd just so happened to catch him off guard this time around. Yet even with all the measures he takes to be prepared every possibility, there's very little that could have helped him prepare for this.

Floyd's touch is overwhelming, Azul feeling the air leave his lungs like a helpless human dragged into the depths of the ocean. He drowns in Floyd's embrace, momentarily frozen & unable to fight against the sudden flood of something that had simply gone unspoken between them up until this point. Just as he starts to remember to breathe again, another biting kiss sears against his skin.

Floyd's placement of his kisses are not lost on Azul. Cheek, nose, brow, jaw, & so on. Practically every inch of exposed skin is accounted for, all except one. It confirms to Azul everything he already knows. This is not affection shared between loved ones, this is the attempted conquering of a predator upon prey. This is not love. This is possession.

Here they are at an impasse. Azul does not want to be claimed or controlled. And Floyd-- Floyd does not want Azul the way Azul wants to be wanted.

Floyd's grip slackens. At last Azul is able to find his breath again.

Their embrace ends just as abrupt as it started. Floyd is strong but Azul is stronger. So it's easy to pry the other off of him once he uses enough force.

The mer that Floyd is faced with now hardly resembles the suave & silver-tongued Octavinelle housewarden. In his place is a haughty & flustered octopus possesses all the clumsiness & idiocy expected of a teenage boy his age. His sleek hat has fallen from his head, the silver curls under it now disheveled and misshapen. Azul's glasses lay askew as well, threatening to fall off his nose before he hastily pushes them back up.

However, the most notable change to his appearance now is the deep blush painted across his cheeks and ears. A blush that Azul is doing everything in his power to ignore. Floyd may have succeeded in getting under Azul's skin, but he'll die before he relinquishes the power he's fought tooth & nail to possess. He won't let himself be devoured by anything or anyone, no matter how pleasant the sensation might have felt in the moment.

“ Floyd, settle down. ” Azul's voice is crisp, yet lacks its usual command as he steadily recovers from Floyd's ambush. “ There's no need to make such a spectacle in front of everyone. ”

It's only then does he even acknowledge the fact that they're not lone in the space. They may have closed for the night, but there are still a few bus boys cleaning a couple tables away, as well as a certain vice housewarden behind the bar. Even without looking he can feel his heterochromatic gaze on him, practically hear his low laughter.

That's all this is, isn't it? A joke, a game. Floyd only wants to make a mockery of him & undermine his authority. How stupid of him to be affected by childish antic. No matter, he won't lose himself next time. Floyd won't humiliate him like that again.

“ If you'll excuse me, I have to count the revenue made from today's sales. ” Azul smoothes out the creases from his suit, huffing quietly as he desperately tries to maintain his composure. “ Have a good evening, gentlemen. ”

With that he quickly strides in the direction of his office as fast as his puny human legs can carry him, careful not to spare a glance in Floyd's direction as he exits. Azul won't let him get the last laugh, he won't acknowledge the gleeful smile he's certain Floyd is baring him with that deadly maw of his.

Therefore he's unaware of the truth that lay behind him, turning his back on it without a second thought. And with the overworked bus boys focusing on their cleaning, the only one to witness the frown that falls on Floyd's face as Azul departs is Floyd's own twin.

i said i was gonna talk about why salem is more distinctly drawn to more eccentric personalities so here i am. i’ve probably talked about this before somewhere but couldn’t find anything in my headcanon tag. anyway…

so what’s important to understand with salem is that they are acutely aware of the emptiness inside themself. it’s a constant ache. they’re completely unable to experience a full range of emotions & are forced to live a sort of blank slate existence. when contemplating their existence & lack of humanity & human qualities, their stoicism is what they find most fault within themself.

their primary goal in life at this point is to become human & be able to feel in ways they haven’t been able to since their death. because of their feeling of inadequacy regarding their lack of passion & emotion, those who display a lot of it are seen as an unconscious ideal. the more passionate & expressive someone is, the more salem wants to be around them.

salem is also prone to studying the behavior of humans around them, even outside of those they consider ideal. this is due to their desire to blend in as seamlessly as possible. they desperately want to keep the truth about them a secret. so in order to conceal their oddities, they study & mimic the behavior of humans around them. their artificial human behavior isn’t enough to dissuade their belief that they’re defective, but they do deem it important to do so their peers don’t suspect something is wrong with them.

that being said, their desire to study humans around them makes them even more drawn to passionate people. the more polar opposite someone is to them, the more fascinated & captivated they are with them. great passion & great expressiveness is innately beautiful to them. because it’s everything salem is not & everything they want to be.

Ship bias for...Rook or Rielle? - @asea0fmxses

@asea0fmxses // ship bias // accepting

honestly i don't have a lot of ships for rook. the nature of his... everything makes me uncomfortable with almost everything. that being said i do enjoy.

rook/vil

rook/trey

it's hard to subject manic pixie mermaid to people too tbh lol. i am very fond of these ones though.

rielle/graves (oc/c my beloved)

rielle/jade

rielle/azul

Ship Bias / azul, malleus, and salem

@utsubotm // ship bias // accepting

azul/floyd

azul/riddle

azul/ruggie

azul/jamil

azul/yuu (especially yuuta from the octavinelle manga)

malleus is actually, really hard for me to ship. i know it's almost default to ship him with yuu but i tend to prefer it platonically? i'm open to exploring that but it'd need to be at a certain angle for me to get on board. and lots of plotting as with any ship! malleus is also someone who can have a lot of potential & chemistry with anyone so i'm open to explore other dynamics too.

malleus/leona

malleus/idia

malleus/salem (literally have rped with myself for this. that's how serious it is)

malleus/childe (hear me out... hear me out...ok)

malleus/rollo (not my favorite ship for either of them but i would just love to explore their relationship in any form. this one also needs to be at the right angle though)

as far as canon characters go, salem really only has the potential to be attracted to three of them. they have a very specific type of eccentric personality that they're drawn to. there's a lot of character meta on salem to be had on why that is, so unfortunately i can't budge on that. however, other eccentric & expressive infodumpers are on the table.

salem/idia

salem/malleus

salem/rook

Ship Bias forrrr... Jack & Deuce?

@paramythas // ship bias // accepting

honestly both jack and deuce are characters i think have really great chemistry with a lot of different people, including with each other. I'm pretty open to most ships with them (so long as it's appropriate) so I'd be down to write other ships besides these. that being said--

JACK

Jack/Epel

Jack/Kalim (This one is a rp born baby. I know it's out of left field lol)

Jack/Yuu (Especially Yuuta from the Octavinelle manga.)

Jack/Vil

Jack/Deuce

DEUCE

Deuce/Ace

Deuce/Barbara (Yes the genshin one, *blowing a kiss to Tulip*)

Deuce/Epel

Deuce/Jack

Deuce/Idia (This one I generally prefer platonically but I love their relationship so much that I'm willing to explore it in multiple forms)

Bonus OT3 for both of them: Epel/Jack/Deuce. I LOOOVE the three of them together.

The faint sound of bells alerts Malleus to another's presence before anything breaches the prince's line of sight. However, even as he's made aware that he's no longer alone on his midnight stroll, Malleus' expression and body language does not change. His steady gaze remains ahead of him, no amount of curiosity tempting him to glance behind.

There is no need for curiosity. He knows who's chosen to accompany him this night. It would take a fool to mistake his presence as anyone else.

“ Well, Well -- ” Mirth trickles from his voice, the ghost of a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “ I had not anticipated that you would be my escort this evening. How kind of you to join me, little bird. ”

A low laugh accompanies the nickname given, Malleus taking delight in envisioning the sort of expression Wuya might make in response to it. Still, he refrains from turning towards him, eyes off into the distance.

“ If I might be so bold as to request an additional kindness from you, I would ask you to refrain from reporting my location to the others. ” It's a request given from a peer, rather than an order of king. Though Malleus wonders if his late night companion would be able to see the difference.

“ I'll pass, thanks. ”

Floyd's close, but he's not fast enough to keep up with the star of the track team. Once he's created enough distance between them, Jack turns back to chuck the toy back in Floyd's face.

" you gonna go chew on that when no one's lookin? " he hovers close, very very close- not very sneaky jack. " i can throw it for you if you want. "

Riddle flicks his pen in Floyd's direction, leaving him with a large collar before wordlessly walking away. He doesn't have time for such blatant provocation. It's not even worth getting angry at anymore.

Azul gives a distracted sounding hum in response To Floyd's complaints, not appearing entirely disinterested but simply devoting more of his focus to his work rather than the conversation. Even so, no one is better equipped than him to multi-task even when he's eliminated his four other limbs in this form.

He continues reviewing the papers detailing the lounge's finances, remaining relaxed despite Floyd's extremely close proximity.

“ You're finished training the new hires? ” He doesn't ask if the training course has been completed, only if Floyd is done for today. He'd already instructed Jade to check in every hour should Floyd grow bored of his assignment. Azul has long learned to be prepared for anything and to expect the unexpected. In fact, working around Floyd's impressionable moods is practically second nature to him now.

“ -- You can take your break in here if that's what you want. ” The crisp professionalism in Azul's voice does not waver, yet there's an unmistakable softness to it, one reserved for the company of his inner circle. “ I cannot play with you though. This has a deadline. ”

@unblot asked: "Don't think I don't see you over there." It's not like Floyd not to make his presence known immediately -- At least not when he's in his more agreeable moods. "You know it's considered rude to lurk in doorways. Come inside and sit down."

It's also not like Azul to express sincere concern & sympathy, so he won't. But what he extends to Floyd is more than he would anyone else without the temptation of a deal to motivate him. / hi 👋

sometimes, when he was in the right mood, he liked to just watch azul as he was doing something. he may not realize it; but when he's alone he makes faces any time he's focusing really hard. the what doesn't really matter to floyd very much, just that it's nice to quietly observe things. content and silent, until of course azul catches him just standing there. leaning in the doorway with a strangely neutral expression.

come inside and sit down-

it's an offer, not a demand-- and floyd responds with a single note. hummed low as he comes into the room, to drop his weight down next to him.

" i'm bored. " he says simply, as he leans some to rest his cheek against the others head with a heavy sigh. but it's more than that isn't it-- he's frustrated because it's more than just boredom. there is a lack of something, and his mood has dipped because of it. and worse still, there is very little he can think to do for it. floyd fidgets with his own fingers, and lets a bit more of his weight lean as he does. satisfied to find that azul allows it, and lets him be. it's grounding in a way, not enough to fix the issue, but just so- that he doesn't grit his teeth anymore.

The bleariness in Silver's eyes still lingers even as he awakes. The young knight blinks, an apologetic gleam shining through otherwise very tired looking eyes.

“ Mm... I'm very sorry, Wuya. ” Silver ought to be ashamed of himself, allowing himself to drift off in class among his fellow diasomnia member. He can hear Sebek's lecture on his carelessness already. “ Has class already concluded? I'm afraid I wasn't able to take any notes this time. ”

" you fell asleep again. " he hums, giving silver's forehead a light tap. " not the best place to sleep either, tsk... "

“ Cutesy... ” Salem echoes the word like they've never heard it before, which isn't entirely far off from the truth. The company they keep don't often use more diminutive words like that. The exception being Idia, who is where Salem first heard the word when he was describing the characters from the idol anime he was fixated on at the time. Is that what Floyd means? Does Salem ever dress like that?

“ What does cutesy mean to you?... ” For once they ask an additional question, not to avoid the one given to them, but to sincerely learn. Things like beauty and cuteness, they're all subjective in the minds and hearts of humans. So Salem can't honestly answer the question without knowing what it means to be cute in Floyd's eyes.

most of floyd's socks had little designs on them. in fact, compared to his brother, his wardrobe's color palette was quite colorful. gotta get his own little touches in where he can right? with a small sigh, he leans some in place, then stuffs his hands in his pockets. " dunno, the octavinelle uniforms aren't that plain. but it's always nice to give it a lil extra. " -- it's classy. he tried getting azul to let him wear a scarf he found-- but wouldn't budge on the matter. " what about you surgeonfish-- you got any cutsie clothing? or do you just keep it one note? "
