The praise and offer to help were really nice, but Touya couldn’t just accept Restless’ help! It wasn’t that he minded the other’s help, however when he was fumbling with papers he had to check them ore often than not. “Hm, I- I don’t know… I’m sorting researcher papers. Once my lab is done, I want to keep proper order and keep everything in reach, you see?”

[rebelleanima]

"Of course, of course. You want to keep things organized your own way, right?" He chuckled, hesitating briefly before placing his hand on the boy's shoulder. Some people didn't really like when others were touchy, so Restless was cautious about it - but, physical contact was just something he ended up missing. It came about, with being lonely. "I'm sure that you can finish it fast, if you put your mind to it."

[colourfulideals]

"W- Well, I guess so…? I got half of my work done, probably…" Maybe it was a little more or less, he couldn’t tell right now. Humming under his breath, Touya couldn’t help but smile lightly as he looked up at Restless. "It’s okay, though! I- I don’t have a deadline, I’m mostly just packing my things and going through papers that I need. I’ll somehow get it done, d- don’t worry."

[rebelleanima]

"You seem to work fast, huh?" He chuckled, stroking the boy's hair before letting his hands drop. Touya didn't seem to be sick, so hopefully it was just him being too worried, again. At least, Touya agreed to a rest for now. "Well, it doesn't seem like a particularly difficult job, just tiring. If you need help, I wouldn't mind giving you a hand."

[colourfulideals]

Ah, this was really nice.

"Um… I- I guess so. But I’m not even done with my work, there’s still a lot more to do." Shifting in place, Touya wasn’t so sure what to do. The hand in his hair was really relaxing, but he didn’t like the giddiness that came with Restless’ smile. "I hope I can finish everything tomorrow."

[rebelleanima]

"You haven't finished everything yet, but you've done some good progress, haven't you? Don't push yourself too much, it's alright to rest." The boy almost seemed to be blushing - was he not feeling well? It was concerning, a little, but he didn't say anything about it just yet. "Take it easy for some time, and you can always finish it tomorrow. Is there a deadline? Do you need help with it?"

[colourfulideals]

Oh, head pets— Those were nice, though his cheeks heated up because of them. “Ah, uh, n- not really. I couldn’t really focus the past days and had to catch up on stuff…”

[rebelleanima]

"Well, I'm sure you have worked a lot today. For now, at least, you can rest for a while, right?" He kept stroking the boy's hair, giving him a smile. This alternate of his is so cute... "You deserve a break."

[colourfulideals]

"I’m… I’m alright. Just tired from doing a lot of paperwork today."

[rebelleanima]

"Aah, I see..." Hesitating briefly, he stroked the boy's hair, tilting his head. "You're very busy, huh..."

[rebelleanima]

i'm sleepy and woozy as heck so I'll reply to drafts later. for now, though, I'm up to playing a little www

[colourfulideals]

He’s fried. Dead. Gone.

                     Actually, no. But his head really does feel fried.

[rebelleanima]

"Are you alright, Touya?"

[verecolumo]

"Well— I don’t see why not?"

[rebelleanima]

"Thank you." Leaning down, he nuzzled the top of her head with a small sigh, closing his eyes as he let out a small purr.

[rebelleanima]

What?!

XXX.

Amaterasu was a goddess, yes, but Restless had already gotten used to the thought that she wasn't like people made gods seem - respectful, distant, strange. Rather, the goddess acted like an affectionate, kind person, and while her knowledge showed whenever they spoke, it was undeniable to Restless that she was incredibly innocent. Sometimes, it felt surreal to think that he knew Amaterasu, much less that the goddess enjoyed his company so much, but in it was a honor, wasn't it?

And Restless couldn't deny that he liked her company, as well. Ama's sweet, loving personality lured him in, and he found himself wanting to make sure that she was safe, that she was happy. He liked seeing her smile, to have her hugging him and radiating comfortable warmth through him, and even enjoying the embarrassing purr that she often managed to get from him.

So, as he felt Amaterasu wrapping her arms around him and adjusting herself over his lap, there was no reason for him to do anything other than let out a purr, his arms wrapping around her waist as he enjoyed her warmth with a small smile. Vaguely, he could feel her nuzzling into his chest and, sighing, Restless looked down at her with a small smile.

"Someone's a little cuddly-" Even though he tried to say it, Restless cut himself off, his eyes widening in stunned shock as he felt Ama's fingers slipping into his pants. What... was happening? He might expect this sort of thing from someone else - a particular slutty alternate came to mind - but, Ama out of all people? Heat rushed to his face and, swallowing hard, Restless tried to nudge her back enough to catch sight of her face. It should be obvious what Ama was trying to do. It seemed obvious what she was trying to do, but to think that she would do this to him, without warning like this-

"A-Ama... what... are you doing...?" Restless managed to ask, grasping the girl's wrist carefully to avoid harming her - but he had to understand, to figure out what was happening before he could even decide if they should continue or not.

Did he want to continue?

... Trying to think of that made him far too embarrassed, so it was better to understand it before getting to that.

[rebelleanima]

Still feeling guilty and tired oops.

Remaining in his defensive position, the knight could hardly resist the temptation of covering his ears with his hands if it weren’t for the fact that he would have to let go of his knees that he was hugging so closely to his chest. Right now, he honestly didn’t feel well. He didn’t even want to be in the other’s presence, but Restless was so dense, he didn’t get it, did he? It hurt. It scared him. The knight couldn’t stop the nausea from welling up anymore as he tried to blank the taller’s voice out, yet it was a fruitless attempt. Talking, talking, always talking in this disgustingly soothing tone that left his stomach churning in discomfort.

People always said that they didn’t want to hurt him. They always said that they wouldn’t do it again, but at this point he had gotten used to it! People could hurt him, at least the stronger ones were free to hurt him to hurt him however they pleased because the knight knew that he stood no chance against them. In the end, Restless would be same, wouldn’t he? Luring him in with kind words, with a soothing voice, eventually he would take the chance and frighten him again. His shoulders trembled, just as fearful whimpers slipped from his lips and left him cowering in anxiety. Maybe if he hoped long enough, this guy would leave him alone? He didn’t want to know about whatever the other had used to restrain him! Just thinking back to this cold feeling of darkness keeping him place, Touya found himself flinching and curling more into himself, almost wishing that he could just disappear.

Maybe he should… call for one of his Pokémon friends? He didn’t want to be alone with this guy, no, no, he really didn’t want to be alone with him.

"Go away… P- Please l-leave me alone," the knight muttered under his breath, tears dripping down his chin while he hid is face in his knees, no matter how childish and pathetic it might have been. He didn’t care for this… magic bullshit! He didn’t want to get frightened out of his mind a second time; not when his breathing was still so unsteady, shallow and quick while he avoided looking into his direction.

Little pained sobs mixed with his voice, but not even the shame that he showed himself like this in front of an unfamiliar alternate couldn’t help him regain his composure again. It was so horrible. Even worse that he caught himself glancing in Restless’ direction, breath hitching in a scared fashion when clouded hazel eyes spotted the balls of light trailing along the other’s hand. It was scary! So very scary that he ducked his head and let out a fearful sob, frantically rubbing at his eyes, wiping the tears away before he clumsily shifted further away fro the male. “N- No, n- no! Don’t hurt me… Don’t hurt me, I- I’m sorry— I’m sorry for attacking you, j- just don’t hurt me… please, please!”

[rebelleanima]

The boy got scared at the sight of the lights, and for a moment, Restless couldn't help but wonder if it wouldn't be better if he left - but, ah, he wanted to at least try something. One last thing. If he failed, then he'd accept his defeat... but, he wanted to at least see if he could distract the boy enough to help him stay calm.

"These don't hurt... they are just light, and appropriately, very frail. See...?" Raising one of the orbs, Restless let out a breath over it and watched as the light dissipated with the wind, slowly fading into the air and dying out. "I don't do much without words, just enough to make a few pretty lights, and to make them a little more lively."

With a small gesture, the orbs joined with each other and slowly started to take in another shape - limbs grew, followed by head, an ear, whiskers, and before long, what seemed to be a kitten made of light was floating in the air, tail swishing from side to side as Restless let the image lwer itself to the floor.

"Where I come from, we have animals, and no Pokemon. Some of them look like Pokemon, though... like this one. I've seen one or two Pokemon that look similar to a cat, from waht I remember, since I got here." Distract Touya was the main thing in his head. If the boy didn't hear his apologies, and he didn't want to see anything threatening, then he could only make up things to entertain him - as the kitten moved, it left a trail of slowly-fading light, and it seemed to have a life of its own, looking around and jumping in what seemed to be an attempt to catch its own tail.

"Have you ever seen an animal like this?" He hesitated, looking up at Touya. "Is there any you like?"

rebelleanima joined the magic show!

[trulyidealmagic]

"That sounds logical. Even if it’s different than my magic, I guess." She listened to the rest of his story, nodding after he was done talking. 

"We’ll give it a shot, alright?" Touko agreed, and soon they were in a safe place for magic. 

"What sort of magic? Huh… Well, basically spells, potions, that sort of stuff. And because of my werewolf DNA, I have some supernatural strengths and such." She explained. "I have a broom that can fly, too, as silly as that sounds."

[rebelleanima]

"It seems like the best idea." Restless agreed, giving the girl a smile as he followed her to a safe place. The girl's wound seemed painful, so even if he only managed to soothe her pain, it was at least a start, wasn't it? Hopefully, her hand wouldn't be too troublesome to treat.

"Huh... it seems like our magic really is different. Some of those things are legends, where I come from... things that I've heard from before magic became well known." Carefully taking the girl's hand in his again, he studied it thoughtfully, trying to decide how to approach. Better use words that would allow him to stop it in case he got too tired.

Murmuring words softly under his breath, a faint light enveloped the girl's hand and, taking in a deep breath between his words, Restless focused on paying attention to how much energy he still has, on how much is going to her. Hopefully, it'll be enough to heal her... hopefully...

"And what is it— More magic? More touching him? Yeah, that’ll definitely help him when his fear towards you is pretty much secured.”

        Not really. The sarcasm is pretty evident right now.

"You can take your Mary Poppins shit and shove it straight up your tiny tight asshole, you hypocritical twat."

No shits are given if he’s hitting bulls-eyes or not— And honestly, he hope he is.

"Go near him, and I have no problem being the one that fucking ends you instead. I hope you’re not stupid enough yet and still understand English enough to understand the words ‘kiss my ass and stay away, shitdick’."

[rebelleanima]

"... It's not Mary Poppins. And I won't be touching him, if that's what you're worried about. Magic is just something that comes out instinctively, I can't help it at times." Even if he tried to say that, Restless knew better - he had made a big mistake, and there was nothing that could really justify his reaction. Not that he actually wanted to justify it - it was his fault. He messed up, and nothing would change that.

But at the same time, he couldn't really leave like this. He messed up, hadn't he? So, he couldn't ignore the issue, go away like nothing had happened and pretend that there was nothing wrong. He had to make thing right, and the only way to do that was to keep trying.

"... Then... you can get started. I'm not going to give up, Blair. I'm sorry, but I can't."

[coquettishcrownarchive-blog]

"… … … —"

No words can begin to express his feelings right now.

"You are so disgustingly inconsiderate to other people’s feelings that you make me seem like a saint.”

"If you go near him, I will rip you a new one. Get the fuck lost."

[rebelleanima]

"I think I know how to help him calm down. So, stop accusing me." Ouch, Blair. That one hurt, and he thinks that a lot. "I'm staying. You can hit me if you want, but I'm staying. I want to make sure he's alright."

[coquettishcrownarchive-blog]

"YEAH ASSHOLE, YOU REALLY FUCKING HELPED!!!” Nope, he’s pissed now. This jackass is Black material, apparently, and thus giving him the urge to punch him dead in that stupid ass face of his. Such a joy, wasn’t it? “I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t care or mind if you just left him alone! Because, you know, the person who triggers someone shouldn’t fucking stick around because you’re only going to cause more damage!”

He had been there with a certain king.

        Yeah, that hadn’t been really fun at all.

"Stop acting high and mighty and shut your mouth! I know him better than you ever will, and I can say with confidence he doesn’t want to deal with you!”

[rebelleanima]

"Stop yelling. I can hear you just fine." He remarked in a cold voice, his eyes narrowed. He didn't plan on giving up on helping Touya - but ah, this Blair was very annoyed, wasn't he? It was a little tiring. "I'm not arguing that you know him better. But I'm not going to leave him like this."

He had no doubts that he had messed up, and the guilt weighted down on him, but feeling guilty and backing off wouldn't solve anything. He just had to be careful. He knew better.

[coquettishcrownarchive-blog]

"Aren’t you a little fucking stupid and ignorant to be off your kiddie leash." Little is an understatement. "Knock off your stubborn ‘I want to help’ bullshit and leave him alone.

                   I think you’ve done quite enough.”

[rebelleanima]

"I know I've messed up. However, it doesn't mean I will just leave him. I can't walk away when he's like that." Restless stared at the other flatly, his head tilting to the side. "I'm not leaving, and I'm not 'knocking it off'. Not when I can do something to help."

[coquettishcrownarchive-blog]

Casually flips a page.

"I told you those things earlier for a reason and you didn’t listen.

        So thanks for being useless and ignorant.

              Now he’s going to be hiding— And it’s all because you don’t know when to               stop. Trying. To. H-e-l-p.

                       Kindly stay away from my best friend for a while now because                        you triggered him because you don’t know how to leave people                        alone. 

                             So basically, I have the right to be protective and try to help him                              at this point to fix what you did.

                                     Unlike you, fucker.

                                            So if you have any other ‘kind’ and ‘helpful’ bullshit                                             you wanna try out, you can go fuck yourself.”

[rebelleanima]

"Aren't you a little aggressive..."
