[alienation]

You won't humour me even a little?

[markofkaine]

[UUGHHHHHH...]

[alienation]

[ I don't think it's possible for Lotor's face to make cutesy, pleading expressions in this scenario. Kaine only gets this. ]

Is it truly so terrible, my love?

[ He knows the answer. ]

[markofkaine]

[GODDAMMIT. HE USED THE L WORD.

UGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!]

Yes???

[ >:O ]

[alienation]

You've braved sharing a milkshake with me before, surely this is no more difficult.

[ we weren't even officially dating then!!!! ]

[markofkaine]

It's different.

[noms onto the spoon. grumpily.]

[alienation]

[ SUCCESSSSSS man Lotor loves winning and also embarrassed men. ]

Ahaha, even with my face, it is so clearly you behind it. Thank you for indulging me.

[markofkaine]

[HUFFS.]

This is what I get for slaving over those sliced strawberries...

[alienation]

Ah, my beloved Kaine is so tirelessly involved.

[ He's being a little silly, but in a genuine way. Ok he'll have his spoon back. ]

I truly am grateful for this.

[markofkaine]

[hgnfguhg fluster face]

Well... you deserve it.

[alienation]

[ Gently traces the back of his hand with a finger. ]

And you say you're never a gentleman.

[markofkaine]

No... I just want things to be fair.

[alienation]

Did you think it wasn't?

[markofkaine]

I mean...

[YES, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH ME]

I think you're owed more happiness than you got over 10,000 years.

[alienation]

[ Ok sweetie you have a point I am definitely entitled to some niceness, but. ]

You must not realize just how much comfort and joy your love brings me already.

[markofkaine]

Even if I were being real damn self-important, I don't think I make up for ten millennia.

[alienation]

You don't need to. I can... handle my past.

[markofkaine]

I know you can. But you still deserve more small comforts.

[alienation]

[ Squeezes his hand. ]

Well... I would be a liar if I said I didn't enjoy being tended to. You only need not be so concerned with how fair it may be.

[markofkaine]

[Looks down at their hands...]

I guess. ...I do like seeing you happy.

[alienation]

Aside from the occasional horrific trial set upon us here, I do spend a lot of my days here being happy. Largely due to you.

[ wild how it works. ]

[markofkaine]

Nice knowing I'm doing something right. Horrific trials aside.

[alienation]

[ Just gazes at him for a long moment. ]

You're doing wonderfully. Thank you, Kaine.

[markofkaine]

...



It's probably too weird to kiss you like this, isn't it.

[alienation]

[ It's going to be SO weird. But he kisses his decaying face already, so it's just a different flavour of weird.

... no it's still weirder. ]

Come here.
