Uh I love Roathe so much. Anyway... The thing that he told us about being Nikoths plaything and concubine??? It does weird things to my brain so...
I'd like to see him as brute, egocentric and demanding as usual but completely folding in when it comes to intimacy.
Whatever was there, between him and Nikoth, had obvious power and status imbalance, where he could be left with little to no say in that matter. He is used to that dynamic, he is used to the intimacy being something held against him. Something that he might want and enjoy as well obviously, but something that is very much outside his autonomy. Maybe she would ask him what he wants? But even then, there were wrong answers to this question...
And this could go in different ways, as he could potentially lash out as now being able to be the one in control, lavishing in it. Become the ultimate dom.
orrrrrr...
Doubling down on being the biggest pleaser to his lover, going along with anything they want. Perhaps out of deep rooted fear or conditioned expectation that if he says no, you would push him away. That if he says no, there will be some kind of punishment. That if he doesn't satisfy you, impress you, please you above all else, you won't see him as worthy of this kind of intimacy that he still very much yearns for.
At some point he realises that he actually kinda likes you... And after all the banter, fighting, his inflated ego, intimidating attitude and literally rage-bating you for fun, he knows that you don't mind that really so he gets more comfortable around you. But after catching real, deep feelings for the Drifter, he REALY doesn't want to lose you. You are so different from Nikoth but the insecurity still lingers. Insecurity that he actually won't be able to satisfy your needs and you ultimately, deem him unworthy of your attention.
So he tries to impress you, does whatever you ask of him to do. You find him so different, so unusually compliant, ready to jump hoops to make you feel good and happy. And it freaks you the hell out. He catches onto your reactions and panicks. He's obviously doing something wrong, you are clearly not happy with him.
And he asks you what's wrong, and you ask him what's wrong. Why does he look so uncomfortable, and yet so eager? Why does he seem so poised, and yet his hands tremble? If he doesn't want to do it, why doesn't he say so?
Oh and that breaks him. Because he wants. He really, really wants. But for some reason he is so god damn scared. So much more than he ever was with Nikoth. Because she didn't care, as long as he played along, she didn't care. And there you are, not satisfied with the best performance he can give. The sweetest lie that he can brew for the both of you.
He doesn't know what to say, he doesn't know how to react to the genuine worry on your face. He laughs it off, he tries to assure you thats nothing is wrong. He is confident in his skills, in his techniques just relax and let him work! He can satisfy you! He can be good, really good. Just let him... But you call bulshit on that obviously.
Seeing him struggle, you reach out to comfort him and at some point, after calming down, he finally admits to his fears. And that he really does want to be intimate with you and... You see through it all and you propose a deal, and the Devil... agrees.
And so you go on, taking the gentle lead. Asking him what he wants, what he likes. Reassuring him along the way that there are no wrong answers. That this is for the both of you, and that he has as much say in the process as you do... And he melts into your arms, still having a hard time really realising what he wants but he will get there. And he will get there with you~
Ugghghh Anyways... What are your thoughts? Remember, there are no wrong answers ✌️🔥
