Muse that says ‘I told you so’, after they come home from the beach and other muse is burnt to a crisp while whining how bad it hurts for not listening and putting on sunblock after the other muse repeatedly told them they’d get burnt?

The place they mostly likely accidentally fall asleep together?
Vincent shook his head in slight disappointment, Cheeks still slightly tinted pink. Everyone he ever made that slip-up to had said the exact same thing. He hated explaining himself to people, but he supposed if it was going to be anyone it would be, should be, this guy.
This obviously meant that Battle Prostitute hadn’t said anything to Talibah about his true nature yet. Or why exactly Vincent was an incredibly tough person to love or even like. it’s not just his award winning personality, oh no.
⊰ Alright so long story short, I met a guy who i kinda liked, and he bit me in a moment of passion (i guess) and i’ve been alive craving blood for longer than this army’s been around, ⊱ he hoped that explanation would work. He’d hate to get into any more detail. He wasn’t exactly the best vampire there was, and starting off so well with someone was rare. He’d hate to lose the progress he made with Talibah.
◤ ♘ ◥ ❝ That’s terrible! I mean, it was an accident right? ❞ The knight wasn’t about to get into a fight about whether or not those kinds of creatures were real or not. But it was quite obvious they were, since one was standing right in front of him.
It was probably a stupid idea but he could muse about that later. He felt Vincent deserved a hug, so he was gonna get one anyway. The knight, wrapped his tanned arms around the other and pulled him close to his chest. ❝ Hey, if it helps to know, that won’t happen to you here! I’ve been ordered to protect you, so I won’t let anything hurt you ever again! ❞
“Ah, no thanks, I’m trying to read, so uh, if you could keep the candles lit, I’d really appreciate it,” Mark responded. “I mean, if you’re trying to sleep or something, I can find somewhere else to read.” The entire point of what Talibah was saying, unfortunately, seemed to have been lost on Mark.
◤ ♘ ◥ ❝ Then why did you flirt with me, stupid, ❞ He wanted to cover his mouth with his obvious rude insult, but he was actually genuinely annoyed. He didn’t know why, but he was. ❝ I’m just gonna shut the lights off, because you suck so nyeh! ❞
Oh no, what did Vincent do this time? The other’s face was obviously not a happy one. Not that Vincent cared or anything, he just… Didn’t want to make a bad impression!
⊰ You are very tall, and tan, and handsome! Wow these people really are stupid. I bet ladies from all around would flock to you, goodness you’re just so nice looking! Heck, I’m even attracted to you! And that’s something I haven’t said to anyone in hundreds of years! ⊱
◤ ♘ ◥ It wasn’t as if women didn’t flock to him, but it was usually younger women. Like little girls that had stupid little crushes on him because he acted their age. It was always Emeric that got the older women, the one’s that were actually around his age. To say it didn’t make Talibah jealous would be a lie. Emeric always got the best people, even their general.
❝ Wait. . . You’re a hundred years old? ❞ That seemed more important than his selfish needs. He’d have to apologize to Fionn later for thinking only of himself in the moment. But there were more important matters to attend to. ❝ Wow, you don’t look that old! Are you sure you’re that old? I think you’re at least eighteen. . . Maybe seventeen. ❞
(from Mark) "A pick up line? Oh, jeez, uh... well, um... are you a candle? Because you're, um, a delight to be around! Or... wait, was it supposed to be a candle that's been snuffed out?"
◤ ♘ ◥ ❝I’ll snuff our candles out, if that’s what you want,❞ The knight spoke as though his tongue was made of gold, smiling mischievously at Mark. He ironically gave him the most seductive face he could muster.
Before it all went to shit, of course. Talibah could barely hold in his laughter. ❝Just kidding! I wanted to see how you would react!❞
Well, now Vincent surely was stuck between a rock and a hard place. It’s not that he disliked the idea, he thought the other was definitely attractive… He’d just never actually been in any kind of relationship before. Friends were hard to come by when you only came out at night and spent your days sleeping in the sewers of the undercity.
⊰ I don’t really deserve to be treated in any special way, ⊱ Vincent replied somewhat meekly. ⊰ -But, uhm, since we’re on the topic of names, I… Still don’t know what your’s is yet, ⊱ He figured Lady General did that on purpose. She didn’t like him all that much.
◤ ♘ ◥ Talibah frowned, his brows furrowing at what the other had said. Everybody deserved to be treated nicely, since everybody deserved some kindness. It didn’t matter what they did, they deserved respect. That was what this entire army was about, anyway.
❝ She never told you my name? And here I thought she told you the name of your knight in shinning armor! ❞ He whined, pouting childishly at the thought. ❝ My name is Talibah, though here I’m also called the Golden Knight. If you hear that, it’s me! ❞
Oh no, he stopped talking. What had he said this time. This person was probably going to beat him up now right? That’s how this is supposed to go? Well he was ready! He braced himself for the coming fight–
But unfortunately it never came. It was almost soothing how soft the other spoke.
⊰ Of course! You’re very pleasing to look at! Goodness, what are people calling you if not attractive? Your hair is nice, your face is nice even your hands are nice! Are these people blind or just stupid? ⊱
◤ ♘ ◥ The knight was slightly taken aback by his bluntness, and it showed quite a bit on his face. His usual smile was gone, and though his lips were a straight line, he was quite curious with what the other had to say. It had been a while since someone was blunt with him, it was a weird feeling.
❝ I think it’s just the way I act, ❞ He said, trying to defend people he didn’t even know as always. ❝ I always act pretty childish, so maybe people think that I am a kid and have to be called cute. Which is just ridiculous, because I am tall! ❞
[ ♘ ] ❝Pft, only if you wanna! I mean, it might be a little hard since you’re small and I’m tall. But I guess sharing a bed means I can’t sleep in the nude…❞
Mark cracked an eye open, realizing that Talibah was right. They were in the bed, and Mark hadn’t even noticed. They were in bed. And Talibah was shirtless. And what if someone saw them like this? Especially considering that Mark was clinging to Talibah– oh gods this was just too embarrassing.
Mark released Talibah, rolling away from him and stammering an apology, all the while trying his best to hide his blushing face from the knight. Why did the world enjoy embarrassing him so? It just wasn’t fair!
◤ ♘ ◥ No words came from Talibah’s mouth as he was finally able to sit up. There was a smile on his face, however, as he looked at Mark before moving from the bed. If they were going to sleep, then all the candles would need to be off. Talibah was never one to use a candle, even if it was dimly lit. He found it hard to sleep with one going.
❝ Haha, don’t worry about it! My friend did the same thing to me once, and he was probably as short as you were, ❞ His smile turned to a sad one, and he licked his fingers to press the candle. ❝ He’d scream anytime I picked him up. It was really funny, actually. ❞
⊰ B–But I– ⊱ At this point Vincent was trying to make excuses for himself. This type of thing was weird right? Humans don’t usually just do this type of thing, right? ⊰ You don’t even know my name– do you? H–how can we date if we don’t even know eachother, haha, ⊱
◤ ♘ ◥ ❝ Your name is Vincent and I told general Fionn I was gonna protect you, so that’s what I’m gonna do! ❞ He chirped happily, smiling almost as bright as his armor. ❝ I know that you’ve been treated horribly, but I don’t know why. I just wanna treat you like how you deserve to be treated! ❞
[ ♘ ] ❝Pft, only if you wanna! I mean, it might be a little hard since you’re small and I’m tall. But I guess sharing a bed means I can’t sleep in the nude…❞
Even though he had been released, Mark continued clinging to Talibah, eyes shut tight in fear of falling to the ground. Not that it was a particularly long distance to fall, and not that falling would hurt all too much– it just didn’t seem all too pleasant. If he had bothered to open his eyes, he’d have noticed that he wouldn’t fall at all. He was lying on top of Talibah, who was lying on the mattress. Somehow, Mark had managed to not notice Talibah falling onto the bed with Mark in his arms.
“I-It’s fine, just please put me down,” Mark whimpered, face practically buried in Talibah’s chest.
◤ ♘ ◥ A brow quirked at Mark as Talibah released a ‘huh’ from the back of his throat. He truly thought he was still off the ground. While they technically were, they were just in bed. Nothing to get scared over.
With a tan hand, he went to poke Mark’s cheek, smiling awkwardly as he tried to get him to look at him. ❝ We’re in the bed right now, so you don’t have to be scared. Just look at where you’re at, yeah? ❞
“H-huh? What’re you talking about?” Mark chuckled, trying his best to play innocent. “I, um, just thought the flowers looked nice. It’s not like it, um, means something, or anything. I just figured you’d like them. That’s all.”
◤ ♘ ◥ ❝ You don’t know what flowers mean? Oh man, you’re in for a treat. All different flowers mean a bunch of different things and it’s so cool. I should teach you one day, ❞ He offered a warm smile. ❝ My mother used to run a floral shop, so I got to learn about the meaning behind a whole bunch of flowers. ❞
◤ ♘ ◥ ❝ What kind of date? A date date, of course. What other kind of date would I take you on? ❞ Talibah’s brows furrowed in an instant. ❝ I am not gonna be like the people that have hurt you. I only wanna love you, okay? ❞
Vincent flinched once more as the other laughed loudly and abruptly. , Well, at least now he knew his cheeks were heating up due to embarrassment if nothing else.
⊰ You have an odd definition of cute, sir, ⊱ Vincent replied, crossing his arms ⊰ If anything I’m mediocre at best. I mean, if anyone’s cute here its obviously you! Well maybe cute isn’t the right word,. Attractive, maybe? ⊱
◤ ♘ ◥ His laughter ceased, and for the longest few minutes he stared at the other in disbelief. He had been called cute before, and even adorable, but never attractive. That seemed to be off limits.
❝ I’m not attractive, ❞ His voice was soft, almost as if he was whispering. ❝ Do you really think I’m attractive. I’ve never been called that before. . . ❞
Vincent visibly stumbled as the other’s remark reached his sensitive ears.
⊰ I–! I’m not cute!! ⊱ He protested, face only heating up more. Perhaps he should see a healer about this. ⊰ I’m scary! I’m a dangerous monster! Y-You know, like what everyone else says! ⊱
He huffed averting his gaze to the ground as he pat his cheeks. Was there something wrong with this body? God damn it, I thought i was self-healing, what’s wrong with me!
◤ ♘ ◥ Talibah allowed a loud laugh to leave his lips, a wide smile painting his tan features as he couldn’t help but think he was cuter while flustered.
❝ That’s so adorable! You’re like a little baby bat! ❞ He didn’t quite know about the irony to his words, as his general hadn’t told him just what he was protecting exactly. ❝ How can you tell me you’re not cute while being cute, hm? ❞
Vincent wiped away the imaginary debris from the other’s hug and adjusted his giant glasses. Hopefully this heat in his cheeks would go down soon, He wouldn’t want to catch some sort of human virus or something. Can they even do that?
⊰ Then you must be pretty lucky or something like that. I’ve had nothing but people hurt me! Hmph. Maybe it’s because you’re so cute or whatever ⊱ Wait what?
◤ ♘ ◥ His actions made Talibah look down at his armor to see if there was any crumbs left from his dinner. But he was perfectly clean, like the general liked it. The knight still frowned though, maybe he did accidentally wipe crumbs on the poor man before him.
❝ You think I’m cute? ❞ He asked, his cheeks flaring a slight red. Sure he had been called cute before, but it was always embarrassing. ❝ Ha, thanks I guess. You’re pretty cute too! ❞
