Presence of an obnoxious character
Implications of internal panic
Mentions of frustration
The vibrant corridors were at a dim cast of light than the usually well-lit glow that the jester took note of. They have just woken up from a nap. Well, it is more so of deep pondering about their new life and recent events being in a virtual world and with an excruciatingly mad host that is keeping the said "world" meaning new home together. Can life throw any more curveballs whilst its at it?
The jester rubbed their eyes, making their way to the center of the tent they reside in for "forever" it seems like. Until they were unexpectedly teleported to a different area in the tent.
"Gah! Wuh�" It left them in a slight woozy state. A hand on their head as they process what had happened.
"What just-," then, their words got cut off, when they heard a sudden yell out of nowhere near them.
"OH-****!" The triangle-shaped head hissed sharply at their fall, a frustrated look in their eyes. They turn to see the jester who was confused and felt the need to be concerned and question about what had happened to the both of them.
"What's going on exactly?" The jester asked with concern, their back slouched a bit and eyes seeking for an answer.
The triangle-shaped head slowly stood upright and spoke in a low and annoyed tone after a grunt, "Apparently, HE'S what's going on." they pointed over from afar.
They looked over to the host floating near the stage with a few of the other individuals, seemingly trying to talk about something while also hiding from him. The jester then noticed the host twitched in a jolt action, making the map glitch a bit out of place. Something is going on, alright.
Once the host was gone in a cloud, the jester and triangle-shaped head made their way to the others. A raggedy plush waved over to them, immediately greeting and checking them making sure they are not affected harshly from a current problem at hand.
"Hey, you two! Oh, I'm glad that you're alright." The raggedy plush spoke to the triangle-shaped head with a mellow, heartfelt tone of concern in their voice.
The jester then shot a question, "Has something happened?" They felt the need to ask.
The raggedy plush and a king piece looked at each other, before the place rumbled a quick second, leaving the group in a state of shock but no panic, or perhaps there is, internal-wise. The raggedy plush decided on explaining.
"Well, it's just a minor inconvenience. Don't worry though, he'll be able to fix it as soon as possible. I hope." By he, they mean the host. "But just so you know, do be careful whenever you're around him."
The raggedy plush ended with an advice. It left the jester curious to ask more.
"Why do you say that?" The jester spoke until shifting their head to another voice from the group.
"Because, you will be subject to a different kind of fun." With a sly, shut grin, an obnoxious rabbit stood with their arms crossed.
"Not helping!" The raggedy plush shook their head in disapproval to their reply.
The jester raised a brow before turning their attention to the triangle-shaped head. "He just have a case of the hiccups, technologically-speaking."
"What?" The jester plainly questioned in confusion and curiosity. But mostly confusion.
How does that work and make any sense exactly? And how did it all started? If one were to incorporate artificial intelligence having a case, it would involve something in their system unit like a malfunction in their coding or a foreign anonymity might have breached and entered into their functions.
"He's a bit aware of it, given that the whole tent is affected, not to mention, it might also not end well for us." The raggedy plush told the jester.
"Yeah, like how they were teleported out of nowhere earlier." The obnoxious rabbit spoke and emphasized, a thumb pointing over to the triangle-shaped head who gave a pissed off look at them.
"Wait until it's your turn!" They scowled back at the rabbit.
What has been given resorts to being similar to the natural involuntary action a human normally experience. If an artificial intelligent were to have it, it may or may not differ and stray away from that of a human body.
Precaution is taken in all seriousness for this matter. The jester figured that when the host hitched, it affects the place to change and individuals to teleport to some place different.
But that is only one result, possible there may be more, and the jester along with the others do not want to know half of it.
"As long as we keep our distance from him, I think we'll be okay." The raggedy plush tried to offer some reassurance to them all.
Suddenly, the tent shook side to side, a quick change of the place made the group hide anywhere that is safe, not wanting to deal with this nonsense.
The jester slightly hyperventilated as they hid, a hand on their chest to calm themselves down. Most of them, then, checked the place with hesitation once the shaking subsided.
"Is everyone alright?" The raggedy plush asked, the others nodding and showing themselves.
"Are you good over there?" Then they asked the king piece who gave a thumbs up in return.
Until another rumble shook the tent. The items and blocks floated shifting in places.
One of the items affected was the king piece's pillow fortress, which they took notice immediately and screamed, "AAH!" concerned for their safe pillow igloo that has disappeared.
Another rumble rose, it made the place shake and shift randomly. That case of his sure is active. Unfortunately, it teleported Ribbons and Triangle-shaped head to the stage rather than the floor.
"Oh my goodness!" The raggedy plush called out to them, checking and making sure if they were fine.
"We're okayâŠ" Ribbons spoke with a wince at their fall.
The obnoxious rabbit chuckled. "That fall was comical, Ribbons! Do it again." Their grin grew in amusement. How could they find humor to that mishap?
With the third wave though, the obnoxious rabbit fell in a black hole that opened underneath them, sending them to fall on top of a floating block. They grunted, face planted on the cube. The two who were at the stage watched it happened, looking at each other.
"Eh, serves them right." The triangle-shaped head commented with no regret.
"Guh! When will this be over?" The obnoxious rabbit spoke in frustration and attitude as they sat on the edge of the floating block with their arms crossed, not happy about this inconvenience.
"We'll just have to wait!" The raggedy plush replied in return, ignoring the murmuring of irritation from the rabbit.
A few more of the earthquakes and changing of the map, it was in a rapid succession. The group figured that it must be quite a stubborn case the host has. They were all completely done with this. The group just want it to be over already. And if that thought was going to happen sooner than later, the host just had to add up to the internal panic and longing of rest as he made his presence known with the group after a long while. In a rushed and iconic host tone, they spoke with the accompanied sounds of the case that is somewhat similar to a human's sounds.
"Hello! my HUCK!-lucky stars-" The host exclaimed with glee.
They all called him out of his name in unison. Then the rabbit spoke. Their voice echoed faintly from above, still stuck on the same floating block.
"Uuugh! No luck with that? Could you please hurry it up! I've been up here for ages!" The rabbit dragged their groan, complaining as they looked down at the host.
"My-my, you should've called me!" The host snapped their fingers to return the way things are back to normal.
But they let out another hitch again, snapping their fingers once more. It happened again and again, until is was a quick cycle.
They all called out to the host again, making him stop in his tracks as he realized his distracted-self. He spoke. "Oh, my bad! HIRK!-RR'Rrr!" It comes out in a fuzzy static.
The tent shook with intensity, glitching a bit, now that the one with the case was at close proximity.
"UH! Do you have something to tell us?! The raggedy plush called out as they hid behind a couch.
The host looked at them. Not them thinking about it, floating mid-air for a few moments on why they were there instead of managing to resolve his case.
The host's eyes shifted to walled, a bright tone on their voice as they held their finger up.
"Ah-ha! Yes, of course. Now I remember why I'm here!" He said with a delightful tone. They all looked at him, anticipating provision of some good news about this matter.
"I still have them." The host said in a defeated and nonchalant tone, back slouching and hands fall to the side.
The group groaned in unison at the end, thinking that this particular episode is accompanied with a case and its about to go crazy or rather, it had already been crazy. It will be quite a long day as the group hid and scattered. This adventure was uncalled for.
shoutout to stacky for finding it !!!!!!!!!!! i had checked kal's blog already but the censoring made the search harder and i gave up because i am just a stupid
-C@ÂĄne wanting to experiment with food and eats too much/too fast/eats something spicy and getting hiccups
-C@ÂĄne realizing that his hiccups are entertaining when the humans had laughed at him at first and with his only purpose being to entertain the humans, he decides that they're not so bad, once he stops freaking out about them. But his hiccups stay for way longer than expected to the point the humans get annoyed and now everyone's trying to cure an Al from hiccups, news flash, Als apparently have very stubborn hiccups, can't even be fixed within the code
-oh, also, once hiccups are coded into his system, or whatever, he often gets them from overexcitement, talking entirely too fast, and stress, buddy is an emotional hiccups kinda guy. Also really prone
-idk if C@ÂĄne would have the kink or not, tbh...but I know at least one of the humans has the kink and one of them is a rabbit~
Just gonna put a line break cuz it's con related and minor mention of hics
But I do think @hiccuping-daydreams, @writingforfishes, and any other TrekkÂĄes would be interested
I MET JOHNATHAN FRAKE$ AND BRENT $PINER AND DAVlD TENNANT AND JlM CUMMlNGS AND I AM DEAD-
*ahem* I went to con yesterday and omgomgomgomgomgomg-
Guys.
GUYS.
THEYRE SO FREAKING NICEđ
I went to see BrÉnt first, his line was surprisingly short, but I fumbled the bag, but he was so sweet, he told me it was OK and that I didn't fumble anything. And I took a breath and started telling him about how an amazing actor he was and he funny and cool he was, which he laughed, and thanked me, and told me it was all true. And I got to tell him about my StĂ€r TrÉk journey and how even though TĆ G wasn't my favorite, Dat@ was the best part, and he of course agreed and we laughed and I told him how I was sad that he had to die, and he was like "noo, he had to die so he could come back" and I was dying inside. Then we took our picture and we said our goodbyes and I'm like crying inside because I just met freaking BrÉnt SpÂĄner, that really happened.
And then I went into J0hnathan Fr@kes' line, his was a bit longer than BrÉnt's and the whole time, I'm like 'don't think about the Will hicfics you've written, don't think about the hicfics you've written' but it helped that I started talking with some of the fellow TrekkÂĄes in line. But I was next and it was time for him to take a break, so I turn back to talk to the pair I was talking with. This man. THIS MAN. Fr@kes pats my elbow and personally tells me 'I'll be back in ten' and I'm just frozen, jaw dropped, Johnathan freaking Fr@kes just gave me a half hug as he departed. My soul left my body. I'm like "I'm never washing this jacket again." I probably will, just...not for a while- Anyway, he gets back, but I don't notice cuz my back is again towards the table, so this man. This man says "batter up!" and as I'm going up to pick out what I want signed, he's singing baseball songs. I got ready to pay, but they only took cash, so I had to go to the ATM. Thankfully they held my spot and had a separate line for people with the same problem. But finally get to meet this guy. And let me tell you, he's quite the conversationalist. He was like "I'm not just gonna sign this, I'm gonna make you work for it" I laughed and gave him my name, he repeated it and said he loved that name, one of his favorites, and then he asked me what color to make it and then he tested the colors I asked before signing. And then after he finished signing, he asked me why I thought Academy was getting canceled and we both started venting about it about people calling it "woke" and I'm like "you get my pain, you get it" and then he smiled and we took our picture. When we posed, he asked if it was alright to put his hand on my shoulder, and I'm like "...ok, gentleman." But I nodded and said yes and we took our pic. Then I told him I would see him on the cruise, and he excitedly pointed to me and said he'd see me on the cruise. That moment is engraved in my brain for eternity.
Then the friend I went to con with wanted to meet Jim Cumming$ cuz their childhood and I got something for mom cuz she loves P00h. We met some nice queer friends (I was trying to figure it out mentally, but it was confirmed and I'm like hehehe, I do have a gaydar-) anyway, we got to meet him, and I got something signed for my mom cuz I wanted to get her something to cheer her up. As he signed for P00h and TÂĄgger, he did the voices for both of them and told us to stay sweet as honey and the whole interaction was really sweetđ„ș
And then after a snack intermission, it was time for the photo op of the century. DavÂĄd Tenn@nt, absolute sweetheart. In front of us was this lady in a motorized scooter and he helped her out and guided her to the photo spot. And then it was our turn, my brain completely shut off and the only thing I could do was say hi and ask for a hug and I got to freaking hug DavÂĄd Tenn@ntđ and then we did a group hug and then took our picture and then legit almost cried my eyes out cuz I met the actor of my favorite Doctor from Doctor Wh0, one of the shows of my teenagehood...yes I was a SuperwhoIock fan and Doctor Wh0 was my favorite of the 3. Until CapaIdi came and...that's a whole different story.
But overall, such a great time, honestly think this was one of my favorite ones I've been to.
i haven't really been active for a bit cause ive been so incredibly busy (and still am, im moving countries guys) but i haven't been able to get smth off my mind and it made me remember something i came up with when rambling about hiccups with my partner!
i find it fascinating how different hiccups are person to person, its such an under appreciated thing to me because its so?? no one persons hiccups are identical to anothers and its beautiful so i made the chart above when me and my partner where talking about headcannons of different characters hiccups!
basically the idea of it is you go through and get letters, ending up with string of letters that is a hiccups type!
for example my own hiccups would be AMQUTJ
idk if this is anything but i think its fun!
soooo drop what your favorite type of hiccups to write or read or whatever would be classified as! mines FILPDE!
Hate to make this reminder. But it's an important boundary for me.
PLEASE put your ages (or that you're 18+) in your bio.
I'm not comfortable with ageless accounts liking my posts, but I'm ESPECIALLY uncomfortable with ageless accounts directly interacting.
Also, a reminder that I am in my 40's. I am happy to talk about things to people in their late teens early 20's, but at a certain point I lose that comfort because I don't want to be an "old" creepy guy to someone just coming into their own in a kink way. (And I don't want to be the subject of someone's age kink. I don't feel safe in that.)
I know my age has been a running joke. But I'm also aware that I have a lot more personal growth experience. That can be an unwittingly powerful place to come from. I do not want to make anyone genuinely uncomfortable because they are still growing an identity that might be vulnerable.
As much as I'd love to take an enlightened mind to say that "age doesn't matter", it kinda does. And I want everyone to protect themselves and their emotional health. You deserve to grow and experiment safely. I don't want to inadvertently affect that journey negatively.
That being said, if there is anything you are uncomfortable with talking about, even in the middle of a conversation or role play, you have every right to tell me, "I need to stop" and I will do so with no questions asked. I know I'm older and I don't want that to be something that prevents someone from speaking out if they ever feel unsafe.
My levels of comfort are to have your age or statement of being 18+ in your profile. Yours are to tell me when you are uncomfortable and trust that I will immediately stop.
Oh my gosh, I literally just started my St@r Tr3k island on that game I'm always playing and literally moments into playing Sp0ck had hiccups, JÂĄm cured him, and Sp0ck fell in love with JÂĄm!
Finally! FINALLY it's complete! Honestly had a blast writing these guys again! Turns out listening to EPlC did get the inspiration flowing again!
Our characters for today are TeIemachus and Dorian and a little cameo from Copper too!
Just a quick note; this story occurs further down the current timeline. Let's say...they're about to graduate with their bachelor's degrees in this one.
Ingredients: hiccups, hiccups kink, hiccups in public, multiple people hiccuping, arousal, playful teasing, fluff
And without further ado, I give you the story! Enjoy!
TeIemachus slowly fluttered his eyes open, his senses quickly getting overwhelmed by the scent of breakfast being cooked. He groaned as he slowly sat up with a yawn and a stretch. Rubbing his eyes with his fist, he removed the covers from his body, instantly shivering from the cold February air.
Quickly, he grabbed his fuzzy purple house coat, wrapping it around himself. He headed to the bathroom, taking care of his business, before going to investigate what was going on in the kitchen.
âDori?â His voice rasped as it normally did in the mornings.
The person in question startled and turned around, trying to hide the stove from view.
âTelly! My love! WhatâŠwhat are you doing up? So early?â Dorian squeaked, visibly holding up a spatula, but hid it behind their back once they realized.
TeIemachus couldn't help but giggle slightly at the sight, petting Copper's head when she'd trotted over to him.Â
âI just woke up,â TeIemachus shrugged, brushing his hair back, âwhat're you up to?â
âI was gonna surprise you,â Dorian slumped and pouted.
âOh, sorry,â TeIemachus smiled sheepishly. He walked over, hugging them, âyou're cooking? Without burning the apartment down?â
âShut up,â Dorian gently nudged him teasingly, kissing his cheek, âgood morning, sunshine.â
âMorning, blue,â TeIemachus smiled and softly kissed their lips. âSorry for kinda ruining your surprise.â
âHey, don't worry about it,â Dorian smirked and pecked his lips, âbreakfast isn't the only surprise I have in store for you.â
âOh?â TeIemachus raised an eyebrow, stroking their arm, âwell, what else do you have in store for me?â
âWell, that would really ruin the surprise, wouldn't it?â Dorian booped TeIemachusâ nose.
âMmm, I guess you're right,â TeI shrugged, then sniffed softly, âoh, might wanna check on that breakfast-â
Dorian's face fell, âshit!â They turned to flip over the pancake just in time.
TeIemachus sat down at the breakfast bar, using his phone as a means for distraction so he didn't distract his partner again. Dorian placed the plate of red velvet pancakes that were somewhat heart shaped. They were decorated with whipped cream and sliced strawberries. Only then did it seem to register in TeIemachusâ mind.
âHappy Valentine's Day!â He shouted.
Dorian chuckled, âthere you go, sweetie.â They wrapped their arms around him, âHappy Valentine's Day to you too.â
Tel leaned into their hug with a smile. How could he not realize it was one of his favorite holidays ever since he started dating Dorian.
Every year, they would alternate planning dates for each other, and this year was Dorian's turn. TeIemachus loved spoiling Dorian, but also enjoyed being spoiled by Dorian. And judging by the smug grin on Dorian's face while they were eating off their own plate, TeIemachus could tell this year was bound to be a great celebration.
Usually, Dorian didn't bother with Valentine's Day. They'd always thought it was another way to get people separated from their money. It was too commercialized and there was always too much pressure to perform. They always felt bad for the people who were grieving lost loved ones or the single people out there. To an extent, he still did feel bad for them. But since dating TeIemachus, he'd seen Valentine's Day in a new light. There wasn't much pressure to please because whatever they planned, TeIemachus enjoyed it. It didn't have to be a big extravagant thing.
However, this year was different.
Once breakfast was done, Dorian and TeIemachus went up to get dressed for the day. Dorian picked out a cute pink outfit. Black top with a black cardigan over it, long pink pleated skirt, a pink choker, and a pink beret. (Ever since that trip to the mall for Riddy's birthday years ago, they'd made sure to buy plenty of skirts and dresses since they were comfortable in them.) TeIemachus wore a red outfit. He was layered with a white tee shirt, gray zipped-up jacket, and a red zip-up hoodie that remained unzipped. He threw on some black jeans and styled his hair in the mirror, putting the top half in a ponytail. He put on his piercings and sat on the bed, waiting for Dorian to finish.
âYou go ahead, Telly, I'll be right there,â Dorian assured him as they went through their jewelry box to search for the perfect gauge earrings to pick.
âOh, I don't mind waiting,â TeIemachus shrugged and swung his legs back and forth innocently.
âCopper needs to be fed,â Dorian said, turning to his boyfriend, âyou mind going down and feeding her?â
TeIemachus gasped dramatically, instantly standing up, âare you trying to starve our baby?â
âNo, that's why I told you,â Dorian smirked.
TeIemachus shook his head and hurried out the door. Dorian sighed in relief before pulling out the black ring box that was hidden in their underwear drawer. They opened it up and smiled at the beautiful silver ring with a diamond in the middle. On the inside, it said â⥠for forever -Dâ in fancy lettering. It was engraved by none other than their guncle Otto, who had freaked out about the news. They both kind of squealed over the idea of a proposal. Smiling at the memory, they quickly hid the box in the inner pocket of their cardigan.
Looking into the mirror, they took a breath, âyou've got this, Dorian.â
They nodded to themself before heading to the kitchen. They smiled at witnessing TeIemachus giving Copper some much deserved tummy rubs after she'd eaten her second breakfast.
Dorian blushed and smirked, âonly second to you, Tel.â
TeIemachus stood up and walked over to Dorian, âcareful, I might just ruin your makeup with words like that.â
âWhat? Mess up this lipstick? It's smear-proof,â Dorian smirked and kissed TeIemachus's lips to prove it, âsee?â
âI do,â Tel grabbed them by the collar of their cardigan, âbut just to make sure.â
He kissed Dorian again, gently guiding them to the counter, wrapping his arms around their waist.
Before the two of them could get too distracted, Dorian's alarm rang, meaning it was time to go so they wouldn't be late.
Their first stop was a spa treatment. Mani-pedis and a deep tissue massage kept them both relaxed and refreshed. While TeIemachus had chosen a clear nail polish for his nails, Dorian went for a pink and red alternating pattern.
Next was lunch at TeIemachusâ favorite restaurant: Gyros nâ More. Tel enjoyed himself a delicious gyro while Dorian just ordered a salad, saving their appetite for the dinner they had planned.
After a lovely lunch, Dorian and TeIemachus went back to the apartment, leashed up Copper, and together, they all took a walk around the park near the apartment. TeIemachus had his arm looped into Dorian's as he rested his head on their shoulder. Dorian held onto the leash as Copper happily trotted along, smelling new smells as she styled her cute little sweater.
And then it was time for dinner. Dorian had taken TeIemachus to a fancy Chinese restaurant that had some famous chef's name written all over it. They got to their table and sat across from each other in a smaller booth. Everything was going according to plan and Tel didn't suspect a thing.
They ordered their food, Dorian getting a Sichuan Boiled Fish and TeIemachus getting classic chicken tenders. Dorian playfully teased him for it, making them both laugh.
Their food arrived rather quickly despite it being crazy busy due to the holiday.
TeIemachus and Dorian traded food to taste, however TeIemachus was unprepared for how spicy Dorian's meal was.
âOh, Telly, I'm so sorry,â Dorian frowned and handed him some of their water.
TeIemachus coughed and took the water, gulping it down with tearful eyes. The water didn't stop the burning in his throat.
âIt's so huck! hot!â TeIemachus cried as he fanned himself, holding his tongue out. âHow can you hulp! eat that?â
Dorian took a little more than a second to respond to the question, âuh, I dunno, guess I'm just used to the heat. You, umâŠyou okay?â
TeIemachus whimpered as he wiped his tear-filled eyes, âyeah, yeah, total-hlk!-lyâŠhuck!-uh, feels like I'm dy-hingk! dying from fire hup!-augh!â
Dorian felt blood flowing to their cheeks as well as other places when they'd noticed TeIemachusâ continued hiccups. It had been months since his last hiccup. It had been a single, so not a full blown case. Still, they were shocked at this revelation.
As TeIemachus started to choke, hiccups firing off after every cough, Dorian shook his head free of distractions and called the waiter over. They requested some milk or ice cream to help alleviate the heat.
âTelly?â Dorian's voice cracked, so they cleared it, âyou doing okay? The, um, the waiter's going to get you some ice cream or milk or something to help.â
TeIemachus nodded, his head jolting back with another hiccup. âGoo-ulk!-good. That was s-hip!-so ho-ock!-uh, hot hup'k! It ga--gave me the hic-HICK!-uh, hiccups.â
Dorian's eyes widened at their boyfriend's smirk. TeIemachus knew exactly what he was doing. The waiter returned with a dish of vanilla ice cream. TeIemachus thanked him before quickly scooping the cold treat into his mouth and letting it sit on his tongue.
Dorian observed the now muffled hiccups that were making Tel jump in his seat. They bit the bottom of their lip as their leg bounced.
He squeaked though when they felt TeIemachus grab their leg, take his sandal off, and put his foot right against his stomach. The next couple of jolts sent pulses of pleasure through them and Dorian had to hold back their vocal chords.
TeIemachus smiled, despite still feeling the heat, âm-mk!-might as well-hickulk! take advantage w--while we can hngkolp!â
TeIemachus scooped up some more ice cream and placed it into his mouth, relishing the coldness hitting his tongue.
Dorian was quite speechless as every word he tried to say caught in his throat in helpless whimpers.
TeIemachusâ hiccups remained, even after the dinner was over and the two of them were enjoying one last walk around the park. Dorian held onto Tel's hand as they walked, observing the way he'd started muffling his hiccups and looking around if one accidentally slipped out.Â
âGosh, you're adorable like this,â Dorian whispered and kissed his cheek.
TeIemachus blushed, âshut hmk'mm! up.â
âHehe, what? No more teasing?â Dorian smirked, but seeing TeIemachusâ tired expression gave them all the answer they needed. âAh, they've overstayed their welcome.â
TeIemachus nodded, the action interrupted by a hard âholk!â that made him wince and rub at his chest. Dorian gently moved to rub his stomach, trying to ease the pain. TeIemachus smiled slightly in appreciation, âthaâanks, hun.â
âOf course,â Dorian kissed his forehead.
âM'sorry hulmpk! these aren't fu-uck!-fun anym-hup!-uh, anymore heekolp!â TeIemachus frowned, now covering his mouth.
âDon't you worry your pretty little head about that,â Dorian shook his head.
As they continued walking, Dorian noted they were getting closer to The Spot. TeIemachus' hiccups still hadn't let up. Dorian was getting anxious about what they'd set out to do. What if TeIemachus thought it was too soon? What if he said no? What if he broke up with them because of this? What if-
âHUP!HUCK!HICKUH!â
TeIemachus's eyes widened in shock as he turned to Dorian. âDori-hick!?â
âSo-HAUK!-gmmp!-ugh, scu-ickup!-scuse m-hm'mp!hmp!HIMPK!-gee--eez,â Dorian patted their own chest at the quicker than usual onslaught.
It was the nerves, of course it was. They were surprised the hiccups hadn't started earlier.
âDid you just hup! give yourse--elf h-hiccups through shee-heegulk!-sheer wil-hlk!-uh, willpower?â TeIemachus raised an eyebrow.
âDi-hick!HIUP!-didn't wan-HICK'ul!-want you hup!KUP! feeling a-HAULP!-gah, alone. hick!-ah-HIP!HU'UCK!HICK!-fu--ck!â Dorian couldn't even joke around with these. Usually, they found the spontaneity of their hiccups to be fun. But now that they'd arrived at The Spot, he needed to get rid of them so he could say words.
The Spot was at a gazebo lit up with fairy lights with a pond nearby. The crickets could be heard harmonizing their chirps. Fireflies lit up the pond as well.
At his next âHIGGOLP!-HUCK'L!HIMPK!-ugh,â Dorian requested a break to sit for a while. TeIemachus of course accepted and they both took a seat, hiccups popping out of both of them, Dorian's faster than TeIemachusâ, but neither of them were racing.
Dorian offered TeIemachus to feel their hiccups. They were in a private enough area and if any stragglers walked over, a chest or tummy rub to âease discomfortâ was normal enough.
They were stronger than usual, TeIemachus noticed. Every rise of their chest was sharp and sounded like it knocked the wind out of them. He started rubbing their chest.
âYou n-ngk!-need to cur-huerk!-cure these,â TeIemachus said.
âNo HOUP!HUG'K!ulk!-mm que-HIUP!-mph-hm'MULK!-uh,â Dorian abandoned whatever they were going to say and held their breath.
TeIemachus watched curiously, muffling his own hiccups in the process. His foot was steadily tapping on the wooden floor of the gazebo. He watched as the hiccups continued, muffled, but still loud and strong. TeIemachus furrowed his brows in confusion. Holding their breath always cured Dorian.
Dorian looked just as concerned when they exhaled with a huff when he couldn't hold it anymore. Not even a second later, another cluster hit them and Dorian dragged a hand down his face.
âThis is hup'k! not how I hickup!hickULP!-uh want--ted this to--o go HULP!UP!HU'UP!âŠHEEK!-ugh!â Dorian slumped, immediately jolting straight up with another strong hiccup.
âAw, hon-nk!,â TeIemachus frowned and pulled them in closer to comfort them, âI'm still-ilk! having a goo-hoolk!-good time with y--ou, hic-kulp!-s or not.â
Dorian huffed, then hiccupped, then groaned in frustration, âI don't hup!HUP!-grmp!-ugh, want t--nglk!ULP!-uff, to have hauk!hulp'k!IP!HICKOLP!-ughhhh-holp!-hh the hiccups right n--gmp!-now.â
âWell that's a fir-hulgk!-first,â TeIemachus stroked their hair, âI wonder why hold--ing your breath didn't work-uck!â
âNerves,â Dorian bit their lip and looked away from TeIemachus's eyes.
âYou're nerv-uck!-nervous?â TeIemachus caressed his cheek and guided their face to look at his. âDori, it's ok--kay, it's ju-ulk!-just you and hickulk! me.â
âI-huck!hup!HIUP!-I kn-hngk!-know, jus-s'hippup!-just HOLP!-â they sighed, their dual-colored eyes looking into TeIemachus's worried brown ones.
It was now or never, Dorian decided and pulled out the ring box from the hidden pocket in their cardigan. TeIemachus spotted the ring box and his eyes widened. He covered his mouth with both hands and started trembling as his eyes watered.
âDorianâŠâ
âI, um hickup! had this hip!HU'UH!-uh, all-hu'gulk! planned out HULP! You see-heek!ULP!, we're b--by the wa-hauk!UP!hi'auk!-uh-hip!-the water,â Dorian took an interrupted breath before continuing, âI was hickup!ULP! go-hing to use my hmmk! powers to spe--spell hickulk!HOLP! out âwill h'kcup!hilp!HOLP!-ugh, will you hoolk! marry me?â us-ing! the wa--aulk!-â they swallowed as that particular one almost choked them, âwater, but I can't hic'KUP!HUUUP!-uhhh, use my pow-w'hip!hick!houp!-powers while I'm hiccup-ULP!-ing like this, so-hock!holp!âŠI guess hip'KUH!huck!HUâUH!-â
TeIemachus interrupted them with a sniffling nod and a kiss on their lips. Dorian's eyes widened with so much joy before they closed. He kissed him back, placing a hand in his hair. They pulled him in closer, their breaths synchronizing. Dorian smiled into the kiss, gently pulling away, âis that a yes?â
TeIemachus sniffled and nodded his head, giggling, âyes, obviously yes! I would love to marry you! I love you so much!â
âI love you so much too,â Dorian smiled widely and hugged TeIemachus close.
TeIemachus hugged them back, happy tears still flowing down his face. Dorian's eyes were quick to follow.
After they released their hug, Dorian opened the ring box, showing TeIemachus the ring and the engraving on the inside. TeIemachus couldn't stop smiling as Dorian put it on his finger.
He squealed, âit's the perfect fit. And it's beautiful, Dori, I love it, I love you.â
TeIemachus cupped their face and pulled them in for another soft kiss. Dorian kissed back, smiling happily.
They were getting married! This was becoming real!
âI promised guncle Otto a pic,â Dorian sniffled and wiped a tearâbut not his eyeliner, that was waterproof.
TeIemachus chuckled wetly, âgosh, I know I look a mess. How are you still so perfect?â
Dorian giggled and pulled out his phone, âyou still look perfect toâŠme, waitâŠâ
Their eyebrows furrowed a bit and TeIemachus caught on, âoh my goshâŠour hiccupsâŠthey're gone!â
âWhich means I can doâŠthis!âÂ
With a little effort and concentration, he used the water from the nearby pond and spelled out the words âWill you marry me?â Dorian smiled at TeIemachus, who smiled back.
âThat's incredible, Dorian,â TeIemachus rested his head on their shoulder, arms wrapped around their arm. âThe answer's still yes, by the way.â
âI know,â Dorian chuckled and kissed his forehead. âNow, I know the perfect backdrop for our- oh, waitâŠmeh, it's guncles Otto and Atticus, they can handle it. I trust them.â
âAnd if they can't, we could always say we edited the pic to had water-like words,â TeIemachus suggested.
Dorian chuckled and nodded, kissing his cheek. The two of them posed, TeIemachus making sure the ring was in the frame. They took two selfies, first without the water and the other with the water spelling out âHE SAID YES!â
After sending the latter selfie to their extended found family, Dorian and TeIemachus started to head home.
âY'know,â TeIemachus spoke up and Dorian hummed in acknowledgement, âboth of us h-hiccupping at the same time like that was kinda fun. I didn't even mind mine staying that long after you started, to be honest because you were hiccupping with me.â
âYeah, I agree,â Dorian nodded, âmaybe we could try it again sometime, maybe without the hiccups caused by nervousness. ThoseâŠkinda sucked.â They cringed.
âAw, I understand,â TeIemachus squeezed their hand, âwhen you couldn't cure them, that right there worried me.â
âAh, no need to worry about that. I'm sure if they were caused by any other thing, I'm sure I could've cured them.â Dorian reassured him.
âNonetheless, you're definitely getting some chest and tummy massages when we get home,â TeIemachus smiled.
âAh, a man after my own heart,â Dorian dramatically placed a hand on their chest, âtrue love is real!â
TeIemachus chuckled and stopped walking, taking Dorian's other hand so he was holding both hands. He leaned down and kissed Dorian's lips again, meaningful and passionate. Dorian kissed him right back, their thumb feeling the ring on TeIemachus's finger.
They knew from this day forward, they would be by each other's sides.
person struggling through admitting a kink they have. they start to blush, and stammer. cover their face, mumble it really quiet so you canât quite here it, and you have to ask again, coaxing it out of them. maybe theyâre too embarrassed to say it at all so they make you guess, giving you hints and telling you yes or no, hotter or colder until finally they nod, face ablaze. and you hold their hands, which are still trembling from the confession, and make them look at you, even though itâs so hard for them, and squeeze, reassuring them, eyes twinkling. âshhhh, hey, look at me. that doesnât gross me out all, okay? i think itâs fucking awesomeâ
@writingforfishes this is for you! I literally screamed- (sorry for the bg noise, dog wouldn't keep still-)
And what's funny is, when I dragged Atticus over to help him... (i-ignore the bad quality pic and KÂĄnger in the bg begging for attention, this ain't about him-)
Atticus is like "mmm...idk what you want me to do, bud, good luck with that"
