[ 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. ]
[ At least the Other steps back and away, and it's a good thing he does, because had he remained in close the real Affogato would have stabbed him anyways. ]
"Please never apologize for being uncomfortable with something, love." You be quiet.
[ There's a little hiss in Affogato's voice as he snuggles his Mizuki in against him, a jealous snake rearing to strike. The Other hmphs hard and finally turns to leave in a very dramatic flounce, leaving the two alone. He has to plan, after all.
When he leaves, Affo settles Mizuki back down to reach up and cup his face, stroking his fingers along his cheeks. ]
[ Mizuki's stingers hold Othergato still, even as he leaves. They don't hold him there, though, and simply slide off as he goes, but there's a small tug of his hand, just to let him know Mizuki's not upset with him. It's alright, he didn't know. Mizuki doesn't blame him at all.
But he knows Affogato isn't as forgiving. He soundlessly laughs a bit, trying to get the edge taken off just a bit, especially as he's using a tentacle to bring his phone back over. ]
I'm fine. It didn't hurt. It was just surprising, that's all.
[ Affogato relaxes instantly, huffing softly like a ruffled cat whose finally beginning to settle again, then pecks off little kisses against Mizuki's mouth. Just soft, quick little touches. ]
Good. When I finally murder him, and you eat him, will you tell me what he tastes like? I've always be curious to see if I truly taste like an affogato or not. Especially now that I'm all meaty.
...Are you truly okay with doing that? I feel there's something a bit troubling with the way you say you'd kill him so casually. [ Like, yeah, Mizuki would be the same way, of course, but it's different. Mizuki has a weird sense of self due to We Many. ] That said, you know, your blood does taste a little sweeter than other people's!
[ Of course it's troubling, to look at himself and laugh and say how easy it would be to kill him. Whether that speaks to his own egotistical love of self (and thus no one else who claims to be him is good enough) or his own self-loathing remains to be seen.
He perks a little when Mizuki says he's sweeter. That pleases him and makes him smile again, a little sweet look. Only for his Mizuki. ]
Of course I do~ The only one sweeter than me is you.
hmmm... well, if you're okay with it, I suppose that I am too.
[ Mizuki still has worries, of course, but he isn't one to argue them. So, you know, for now he can just press a sweet kiss to his cheek with a gentle nuzzle that follows. Mizuki doesn't think he's all that sweet - in fact, he knows exactly what he tastes like! - but he likes the compliment all the same. ]
