😅
Really sorry for the spam, but I'm back again!
As Gible Anon this time, I made sure of that.
I know you mentioned being a Mydei enjoyer, could I potentially ask for a Mydei one-shot or drabble with a koala challenge? Similar to the Raihan ask? (Apologies if you've gotten something akin to this in the past I haven't exactly had time to check your ao3 unfortunately) :<
Hi hello it has been absolutely CRAZY in my life recently so I'm so sorry for this being late, but no, I haven't gotten a Mydei ask! In fact, I haven't had the pleasure of writing Mydei at all, so this is a real treat for me! This has definitely been sitting in my head as all the craziness in my life has been happening, so thank you for the ask, Gibble-non!! <3
Mydei doesn't know what a phone is, so this challenge goes completely over his head initially. He has one, but he more thinks of it as a standard communications device and not a "I'm scrolling for a while looking at trends across the galaxy" device. You, however, are the latter of that, and have been curious how your old-soul-in-a-mid-twenty's-body of a boyfriend would react to this challenge.
And needless to say, it was both amazing and underwhelming. The first time you tried it, Mydei didn't even blink. You're pretty sure he caught you skulking out of the corner of his eye, if his little smirk as he was addressing his subordinates was any indication, but you still went for it anyways. You stalked, crept, then pounced, all with dramatic flair, and the man effortlessly caught you in one arm, parrying a blow with his other and then moving on his with briefing with you still in his grasp.
This... initially annoyed you, how he barely even acknowledged you aside from a kiss on your forehead and adjusting to make you more comfortable, and you were nothing if not competitive, so this officially meant game on. You filmed some of them, trying to be as inconspicuous as you could be, yet you still got the same response, every time. You tried it in meetings, in practice, as the two of you were sparring, even in your down time. Yet still, the man effortlessly grabbed you, would occasionally chuckle, then keep you close to his chest until one of you had to do something that did not involve the other being around.
Eventually, it evolved into a routine. You started getting more creative and dangerous with it, jumping down from balconies, or using a spear to lunge yourself at him from a sizable distance. Same results, but there was definitely a grin on his face with these ones. It wasn't until you were sneaking around, trying to figure out what you were doing wrong, when you overheard him talking to one of his highest officials.
"Lord Mydeimos, if I may?"
"Speak."
"Well, my lord, your partner and her... intrusions. I fear they might be distracting many of us from our jobs in aiding you. This trend of yours has been going on for about two months now. Is it possible that the two of you could--"
"Absolutely not."
He said it with such intensity, it took you off guard. You stood there, on the other side of the wall, just barely peaking out. With you, Mydei was gentle, his demeanor casual. But with this official, his body was rough as rock, eyes searing with a rage you didn't know he could have on your behalf.
"B-But, sir--"
"Have you not seen her improvements?"
A beat of silence was followed up by a labored sigh.
"She is but a lioness flexing her claws for battles to come. If this is her way of doing so, then she is free to pounce as much as she pleases. A future queen of Castrum Kremnos should be able to stalk and prowl her realm as she pleases, and if that means practicing her moves on her king, then so be it. She has already implemented different weapons and strategies. Besides, if such a thing is a bother to you, then perhaps you should find a different role? I have not been bothered in the slightest. Or are you saying that you have such a meager focus that the occasional pounce in the day is enough to throw you off?"
The official didn't have much to say after that, scampering away with nothing but a few stammers falling from his lips. You took the opportunity to dash up behind him, but not pounce this time. Instead, you wrapped your arms around his waist, landing into him with a thud, his chest already pointed to you by the time you got there.
"Too slow. You'll have to be faster if you want to catch my back."
You smiled up at him, his embrace warm and gentle as you've always known it. "Should you really be talking like that to your future queen, as you said?"
That was followed up with a quick ow from you as he flicked your forehead. "Come now, with your skills, you're nothing but a cub right now. Need to get better if you want to be my queen."
You pouted at him, but he only chuckled, picking you up with one arm as if you were always meant to be there. "But that can be rectified with some sparring. With your skills, I'm sure it won't take long."
What had started as a fun little trend a good portion of the galaxy was doing with your significant other, had turned into ritual with you and Mydei. Before you knew it, your phone had as much dust as his did, only getting used for calls from important friends or family. But more often than not, they'd be laughing at big dinners as Mydei caught you easily, with food, drink and smiles all around.
