Merick finding Cipher Shirtless
with a night as stormy as this one, Cipher was caught underneath the blackening clouds as the Forest began to flood. though the Meowstic, known for their Psychic capabilities, had a good use for said power. as he picked up a signal from nearby. another Psychic closing in on him, the aura was....Quite nice so that only means one with pure intentions was coming. and said Signal was none other then Merick. "H-HEY CIPHER!? THAT YOU???....COME WITH ME, I HAVE A HOME YOU CAN STAY!" he shouted through the boom of thunder. the Gallade was BEYOND soaked through, Mud and leaves staining him, clearly he was out doing some kind of heavy work the Storm had caused.
Finding one of the many trails caked in mud and punctures from the Raging storm they Booked it! to the Clearing, the House in sight! lanterns lit and all!
Finally inside the two Settled down. Merick Opening the door so Cipher walked inside, Merick wringing out his hair "Good thing I was out there to find ya, Newcomers get lost easy even with all the Trails. We can worry about proper introductions when we get cleaned up and have our fill of grub." A sweet smile was upon his face as he said all this, Getting a good sniff of the house Cipher would go on to check around the house. though fair enough he didn't know where everything was.
besides the Coat was soaked to the point that it was clinging to his fur, an Unbearable feeling for the feeling. he went on to remove his coat right then and there. Merick saw this of course, and with a glow of his chesthorn he lifted his Coat out of his hands.
"Good point! my scarf feels gross with all this mud, it's yanking at my hair too!" taking off his own neckwear also and using psychic power to Wring them out.
"I'll put these away, and Let me bring you a Towel, had a set ready with Fire gems on top so they're nice and toasty. then we can Get cozy, sound good?" he would chime walking to the hallways. which Cipher would just nod.

I have literally never posted one of these on Tumblr before but, with all eyes on Minecraft at the moment and my DeviantArt account being rather dead at the moment, I figured “eh, why the heck not”, so have this Minecraft scenario meme. How many of these suckers you see flying around Tumblr?
The meme is by Haxor478 on DeviantArt, who I absolutely have to plug considering this is the fourth meme of theirs I’ve done and they make really good scenario memes. Definitely check them out if you want to do one of these, haha.
Aw thank you! From the scenario meme, under a cut because a) nsfw discussion and b) it’s a bit long:
Ok so no-so-secret kinks first:
Chas is personally bad at at dirty talk but he loves hearing John do it, at least partly due to the accent, which he otherwise doesn't really have strong feelings about
I've mentioned it before John just cannot get enough of Chas's big, talented hands (like guys he cooks AND tinkers with like car stuff so yknow) so his like ultimate(tm) fantasy is just Chas holding his wrists down or wrapping his fingers around John's neck or leaving fingerprint bruises on his hips. Just dies about being manhandled WHAT else can I say.
(also like canonically it really does seem like John prefers people with dark hair for like -- full scale romantic relationships? idk why that is but it is genuinely pretty consistent for him. brunet(tes) with more heart than sense frankly and/or lots of morosexuals/)
Chas is a very giving partner if u kno what i mean. Oral. I mean oral. He loves getting his partners off first & he's not as experienced with blowjobs but by god he's enthusiastic and willing to put in the work.
Chas's BDE was the first basis of attraction for John. Like now it's 'you’re my oldest friend & you know me better than anyone & i trust you despite me basically trusting no one else & you know me better than almost anyone else who’s still alive plus you’re on my very short list of people i would die for ' but when John was a dumb punk twink just introduced to this shy grunge bear of a man in The Good Old Days, it was 'oh that bloke's hung like a horse imma get on that'. A tale as old as time frankly, it was very romantic.
Actually Secret Kinks (or at least kinks they don't talk about or acknowledge):
Chas's favorite position -- with anyone but maybe especially with John -- is being ridden BUT he always feels vaguely guilty about it bc he feels like it makes his partner do all the work. So he never asks for it & is like, genuinely thrilled to realize John likes it that way too (for John it's bc he's more in control of the situation -- pace etc -- and doesn't have to make eye contact BUT is not as vulnerable as doggy style).
John's actual favorite position is missionary tho. Which is nothing to be ashamed of obvs but he's maybe a little embarrassed about being so prosaic. W/e John being able to engage in sloppy desperate kisses while you fuck/get fucked is totally punk rock.
John has a complicated relationship with bondage bc on the one hand he's into it but on the other recent life experiences (Ravenscar; Papa Midnite; exorcism) have kind of made having his wrists/ankles restrained a triggering minefield (if I were better at writing kink I would do something where John does get triggered by it and safewords and it’s awks but ultimately a positive experience bc it means something that John was comfortable enough in that situation to be honest. But i’m always kind of squeamish about really kinky things because idk I’m a prude). So he and Chas kind of work their way up from Chas pinning him down to more creative methods (i know John's ties are a bad idea but John’s baseline is doing dumb shit that can get him hurt and I genuinely assume that's what they end up going with, or the belt of John's coat lol. The thing being they’re not designed as restraints but that's the point -- they don't have the same association of shackles or handcuffs would).
Chas is really into marking John -- both in the sense of love bites and finger shaped bruises on John's body, but also in the sense of pulling out early and coming on John's chest or back or face. He's vaguely embarrassed about it -- he doesn't feel like he has grounds to be possessive, given he's never quite sure where he and John in re: the what are we conversation they will 100% never have, but it is what it is & John's never complained about it. (Bc John loves it, obviously).
John thinks he's all hard core and into rough sex & impact play etc but once it's Chas being all sweet and tender and careful with him -- even when he's annoyed at John, which is often -- John is kind of weirded out by the fact that he's....kind of into that too. JUST bc it's Chas maybe, like John still likes kinky shit & isn't ashamed of it, and Chas isn’t ENTIRELY opposed, but he's almost entirely incapable of hurting John now that they're in a relationship, so when Chas has got him tied up or is manhandling him around or things are getting a little more intense, Chas tends to still be careful and doing a lot of kissing and reassuring and praising. And frankly if it were anyone other than Chas John would roll his eyes and be suspicious -- he's more used to (and enjoys) the oooh you're such a naughty little slut side of things. But Chas cooing at him for being a good boy and doing so well is at the very least a new enough experience to keep it interesting for John, who's still regularly surprised at how much it works on him
Chas so viscerally associates the smell of cigarettes with being close to John -- the stronger the scent, the closer he was to John obviously -- that he kind of hates it, esp per my conception of things where they used to mess around when they were younger and it’s a really weird specific turn-on that Chas can’t quite get rid of bc it was so formative. Like he's glad no one (but John if he can get away with it) smokes in bars/cabs/everywhere anymore bc it was always a really distracting trip down memory lane when he was hit by like, a cloud of it. JOHN CAN NEVER KNOW bc Chas would lose ANY power in convincing him to stop smoking, which he does occasionally still try to do even though he knows it won’t work.
