[ Mizuki's own doppel... well, didn't really have much of a chance. He couldn't get too far without the babies in the River immediately clocking him as a threat and tugging him into the water so they could have a snack. So he knows there's probably something weird going on? But, really, it isn't as if he's going to fuss about it too much. He rarely does.
When he's called, almost like he's a dog being excited their owner is home, he gets up from what he's doing and... uhm. Hm. ]
« Um, I don't suppose this is a secret twin you've not told me about yet...? »
Oh, if I had a twin? "There most certainly have been no chance for anyone."
[ It's incredibly hard to tell which one is which... for anyone else. The doppelganger is missing a certain scar on his shoulder. But it doesn't seem like the Other wants to do anything sinister yet. Instead they just both move to take up positions on either side of Mizuki, take both his hands, and bring them up to plants kisses on his wrists. ]
"Have you encountered anything like this?" I'm unsure whether this is special or something silly going on, again.
[ The baby seaborn Affogato keeps with him is also a giveaway. Which is why he leans more towards that Affogato when he gets closer. Despite the obvious fluster and warmth of his cheeks, he is genuinely wary. This is his Affogato, after all! And he loves him, and Mizuki is his, and… even if there’s another Affogato, he’s not his. Right?
His hands are too busy to type now, so he’s just looking at his Affogato, concerned. Is he alright with this? ]
[ The real one smiles as he's properly picked out - even if the Other pouts as, well, Affogato would cause jealous - and nuzzles into Mizuki's wrist, then nods gently to the look of concern. ]
Don't worry, the other one shares my desires. "I would never hurt you."
[ They both let go of Mizuki's hands so he can type, Affogato's look turning playfully wicked. ]
Plus I have something I'd like to show you. ... Me, not that fake. "Like you won't get one later."
[ Well, far be it from Mizuki to not just fully trust Affogato. If he says it's nothing to worry about, then he isn't going to worry. He relaxes, still not entirely sure if he should be giving both of them attention or...?
He rocks in place for a moment, nervously fiddling with his phone. Like, on the one hand, he's worried about Affogato, even if the doppel promised not to hurt Mizuki. But on the other, it's hard not to be a little entranced when there's two of your partner seeking your attention. ]
[ Ugh, Mizuki, you do his heart so good. Not just the trust, though that helps. But the concern, and the love. Give him a moment, he has to place soft kisses on his jelly's face, cupping it. The Other's jealousy is palpable, and he has to lean in to give the other side kisses too. Smooshed by smooches.
Then Affo steps back and lifts his shirt up. Yes, just a plain shirt, he's still mending his robes. There, attached to his belly button, is a rather adorable jellyfish piercing. Already healed up. The wonders of having healers. ]
You will not be seeing what that harlot [ He can talk about himself like that, thank you. ] got. "Yet~"
[ Oh, and the fluster continues. Mizuki doesn’t realize he’s holding his breath between the smooch sandwich until after it’s over. He supposes maybe… this is alright? If nothing else, Mizuki could always eat this Doppelgato if he tries anything? It wouldn’t be the same as eating his beloved… but it would protect him, anyway.
As for the hat Affogato wants to show Mizuki… perhaps a normal response would be to fluster a bit when he lifts his shirt. To be endeared and embarrassed at the sight of seeing something that reminds Affogato of him on his body like that. To say something like “aw, cute!” or “that’s so sweet!” when presented with this.
Mizuki is not normal, though. Mizuki is far from normal. The sight of Affogato’s sea jelly piercing is enough to make the possessive emotions immediately click into place, and Mizuki almost shakes like he’s laughing. Perhaps if Affogato imagines it, he can picture that breathy, deranged, love-intoxicated laugh of his. Mizuki pulls Affogato closer with a few tendrils, admiring the accessory for a moment, then nuzzling against him again. His Affogato. His, his, his.
…
What’s this about another piercing the Other got?? ]
[ Oh, he recognizes that shaking, can indeed imagine Mizuki's possessive giggling. He laughs as well and lets himself be pulled closer, looking immensely pleased that Mizuki likes it. He reaches down to flick it so the little blue bell part can catch the light.
Then wraps his arms around Mizuki and sticks his tongue out at his Other, curling his little love in against him tightly, before slinking his hands up into his hair. So he can tilt his head back and gently kiss him.
Then not so gently kiss him, snagging his teeth on his lips in a light bite.
The Other ughs softly and folds his arms, hip jutting to the side. ]
"The one I got is the one we both wanted, but he decided to wait for later when you were ready for it." There's no reason to overwhelm him just yet~
[ Mizuki is more than happy to give Affogato a kiss, sweet as can be, as he usually is when he kisses his beloved. And the bite... he shivers, trying to keep himself from just making Affogato his personal chew toy. Realistically, it's a blessing and a show of Mizuki's restraint that Affogato isn't totally covered in punctures and holes from Mizuki's razor-like teeth.
The "ugh" catches his attention, though. Despite keeping Affogato very close to him, he's still a bit leery of this Other. One the one hand, Mizuki doesn't understand why Affogato is letting him remain here? Mizuki's a very good soldier if he asks, and it isn't like it would've been hard. On the other hand, if he is going to stay, and if he is truly like Affogato, making him jealous is just going to spell trouble for his Affogato, which is the very last thing he wants.
...
What's this about being overwhelmed? He lets go, reluctantly, of Affogato, but just long enough to face the Other so he can get a hug as well. ]
« I dunno, it'd be pretty hard to top that, I think, but I do think it's not exactly hard to overwhelm me. Even now, with the both of you... »
[ It's the Game they set out for each other. Which one has the most underhanded tactics to rid the other. That's the true Affogato.
And the Other looks surprised and then as pleased as the real one would to the hug. They are truly alike in mindset, which means absolutely (unhingedly) adoring Mizuki. So the Other wraps his arms around Mizuki and snuggles him in, just like the real one would.
Cause, in the Others opinion, he IS the real one.
Affogato hums thoughtfully. ]
Overwhelming you like this is all right~ as it is within our boundaries. But I'm not ready to show you where I'd like to get pierced next, which my Other has been so willing to demonstrate how it would look. "Unless." [ The Other's voice is a purr in Mizuki's ear. ] "You're ready to see it, of course."
… [ Mizuki just sort of stares dumbly between the two for a moment. Sorry, guys, he doesn't pick up on the implications. He's autistic, send help- ] « I don't see why I wouldn't be ready, but… if Affogato says he's not ready to show me, then I respect his decision, you know. You should be considerate of that, too… »
[ A light scolding! But he does still hold onto this look-alike fondly. ]
[ Oh, Ovens, he loves him. He's so sweet. This is why he doesn't want to introduce a penis-piercing to him yet. It's far different showing it off to someone you're dating, than it is getting it. Plus he's still healing from past trauma, and he wants to take it slow, dangit. Actually romance his little jellyfish. And that means nothing overtly sexual.
Which is another way to tell the two apart, the Other simply doesn't have that trauma.
He heh's when the Other is scolded, and tugs Mizuki back to him to plant soft kisses all over his face.
Yes, the Other will pout, but also plot what poison to slip into Affogatos next drink. ]
You understand the real me much better. Ah, if you're curious, I will tell you where it's at, however. I would never keep anything from you.
[ Kisses! Mizuki is happy to get them, shaking a bit with a silent laugh as he attempt to return at least one or two of them. Both Affogato's will find at this point that they're tangled up in tentacles, as if there's anyone who can hold multiple people at once, it's going to be the Grove's cuddliest sea jelly. ]
« That's okay. You said you were planning to get it at some point, weren't you? Then keep it a surprise! You can tell me when you're ready.
Besides, I really like this one. Blue looks good on you~ »
[ And he will accept the returned ones when Mizuki is able, smiling happily. And yes, the Other is very pleased with the tentacles, going to cuddle a few of them. ]
A surprise it shall remain, then. And it does, doesn't it? I never considered blue before you. I'm glad I got it, I want as many reminders of you around me as possible when we aren't together.
[ As if the little blob baby wasn't enough. ]
Plus, I thought you would like the look of it. [ Now a sly little teasing smile. He does love seeing Mizuki flustered after all. ] Since I cannot have you draped on me all day, a small little you will have to suffice. [ Not you, baby blob, though he loves you and lets you cling to him all day if you want. ]
« Who says I can’t be draped on you all day? Don’t get me wrong, I love it, and I love that you got something to remind you of me…
But if you wanted more reminders, aren’t my marks so much prettier on you?? »
[ As if to make a point, she rubs Affogato’s shoulder. And, really, Othergato is more than free to get bitten, too. He’s just understandably a little more hesitant about that one. He said he’d never hurt Mizuki… but if he hurt Affogato, he’d never forgive him, so… ]
[ That makes him laugh, and he lifts Mizuki up a little so the other can wrap legs around his waist and sit there. The rub on his shoulder makes him keenly aware of the teeth marks there, and he wishes his own teeth were sharp enough to return them. He wants to mark himself into Mizuki's skin so badly.
The Other, for his part, is being good, toying with Mizuki's tentacles thoughtfully. ]
Ah, true. I am not adverse to you leaving your mark more on me, of course. I'm just greedy and want more of my Mizuki. Every little reminder I can get.
[ He better not be thinking of stealing Mizuki's venom. It's not lethal, it just gives you a terrible trip...
Regardless, he does wrap himself around Affogato, setting his phone away so he can hold onto him with both arms freely. It means he can't communicate really, but he's going to press his lips against Affogato's neck anyway.
He's greedy, too. He's not going to bite, but he will press kisses that get rougher until they leave little bruises. ]
[ The bruising makes him hiss but in a way that shows he's pleased with it, tilting his head to let Mizuki have more room. The Other shares a quick glance with the original, then steps in close to pin Mizuki between the two of them.
Only to pause when he does. ]
"All right?"
[ Neither of them will push Mizuki, after all, the Other dropping a light kiss to Mizuki's ear after the question, but otherwise not touching beyond the pin. ]
[ Mizuki pulls his head back when he feels Othergato behind him. Hi, hello? He does take the chance to lean back into Othergato, seemingly fine with this. At first, he tries to gauge what's happening - is he jealous? Or does he just want attention? He smiles all the same when his ear is kissed.
He nods. Of course it's alright? Why would he not want the attention? Even despite his wariness, he'd be lying if he ever said he doesn't love... well, being loved. Physical affection is what invigorates him! Touch is his love language!
And both of them are going to be held with numerous tendrils of his. ]
[ Oh, no. One of the things they both agreed upon, if Mizuki was all right with it, was absolutely drowning their little jellyfish in adoration and love. And, honestly, Affogato wants to get far more used to romantically touching.
And since Mizuki's love language is touch....
The tendrils make them both smile, and though neither of them is too fond of the other touching their Mizuki, they will suffer each other to begin to drop kisses against Mizuki. Only Affogato goes for the shoulder though, greedily biting lightly against skin, while the Other nips teasingly at his ear. ]
[ Okay, maybe… he was right about being easily overwhelmed? At first, he didn't think much of it! He assumed that it'd be fine. He's more than enthused to get cuddles and kisses! He still is, even now, but it's also… with both of them, and his legs wrapped around Affogato…
He's real flustered right now.
He doesn't move to push either of them away, though. His hands clench a little against Affogato, but it reads less as discomfort and more as needy. He has roughly thirty stingers (some likely missing due to cooking with them), so it's not like he can't give the same amount of attention to each. And he does, with several wrapping around their waists and around their arms and necks and tracing little hearts against them when Affogato says he loves him. Mizuki loves him too. So, so, so much.
…
He even tilts his head a little when he gets a little closer to his neck. It's not as though Affogato would touch him there knowing full well how he is, but… ]
[ Yeah, though Mizuki may tilt his head, Affogato avoids the neck. Instead he tilts his mouth up to nibble along the curve of Mizuki's jaw, while the Other shifts his focus to the other shoulder. Both pointedly ignoring the throat, for now at least. Though they are both working on getting used to touch in spots that otherwise make them uncomfortable, there's no point in it right now.
The Other shifts his hands against Mizuki's back, fingers lightly trailing and tracing around stingers. Only Affogato remembers that Mizuki warned him about the sensitivity, so his gaze sharpens a little in a 'if you hurt him' manner. Plus he stills a little, waiting to see if Mizuki will give the indication he doesn't like it.
He has a knife, tucked into the sash of his waist, firm against his back, and though he knows Mizuki won't hesitate to kill the other - neither will he. ]
[ Though Mizuki doesn't have a voice, that doesn't mean noises are totally off the board for him. That is to say, the moment Othergato pushes his fingers into the sensitive nerves on his back is when Mizuki lets out a gasp. Not from pain, just surprised... and judging by the way his whole face heats up, it's likely any noise he'd make with his voice if he had it would've been debauched. His tendrils squeeze Othergato - not enough to hurt, just enough to get his attention. ]
S...ns...t...v... [ 'Sensitive'. He's not going to get too mad at him, he probably didn't know? But also, he'd pretty much only let his partners touch there - so Affogato, not Othergato! - and only when they were ready. He squirms, not wanting to totally bail on them, but he was already overwhelmed and flustered!!! Now it's just x2! ]
[ The moment Mizuki gasps - even though he's turning red that suggests something other than fear about it - Affogato's hand drops to the knife. Especially when Mizuki voices sensitive. Othergato oh's softly and promptly removes his fingers, pressing a soft apologetic kiss to Mizuki's shoulder. ]
"My apologies, my little love. I don't have that memory."
[ Hmmm.... Affogato's hand relaxes and comes back around to settle on Mizuki's hip, stroking his fingers gently there to calm him down. Yes, he's very fucking jealous. Hmph. Excuse him as he pulls Mizuki a little away from the Other, which makes him pout and glare in jealousy as well.
It's going to be nasty when they finally go at each other. ]
[ Mizuki lets out another little side, nodding a bit at his apology to say it was okay. It's a bit of a hassle to have a spot so sensitive on his back like that, but most people aren't able to get to it without getting through the mass of stingers first. It'd be like reaching through an actual sea jelly with stingers to get to the underside of the bell...
He didn't realize how tense he'd gotten until he relaxes again against Affogato. He just holds him tightly nuzzling into him. ]
