“Life Savior? Me? Haha!”

theshadowjjang:

      Dongmin was a pretty nonchalant guy on top of being pretty dense. He was just being honest, and wasn’t thinking too much about his words. He didn’t realize how embarrassing he was making things for his friend. He wouldn’t get it unless Kyouhei explicitly said so most likely.

“Hm? Is it wrong for people to think that I like you when I do?” What, did it have to be a secret that they were friends? Some guys could be pretty sensitive when it comes to things like that, huh? He didn’t see Kyouhei to be that type though, the ones who worry too much about having a manly appearance to the public eye. There was nothing wrong with admitting you were really good friends with someone right?

Alas, he digresses. He simply shrugged his shoulders, totally letting the warning fly overhead. “Sounds good, hanging out that is. Wonder what we should do?” He was thinking about it but nothing really was coming to mind at the very moment.

He was still thinking when Kyouhei spoke up again, though it was more like he was shouting something. Perhaps he was trying to defend himself somehow? Did he feel like he had to? There was nothing that Dongmin felt that needed any explanation. “I guess so? Though some people like to be extravagant with it and show it off. I’m okay with either, really.” He was pretty easy going about a lot of things and he wouldn’t feel too put off if someone were to confess to him publicly or something like that. It may be just a bit embarrassing, but it wasn’t something he couldn’t handle. Either way he stowed the information away into his mind for future reference.

“Yeah, that would be the most ideal way to go about it, but isn’t the point of marriage to be like giving yourself to someone for the rest of their life? People say things like that, don’t they? That they want to have you for the rest of their life or something?” He just shrugged his shoulders. He didn’t personally have too big of an opinion on it. If that’s how Kyouhei felt, that’s how it was. “Either way I wouldn’t go telling people that your life belongs to them. What if they took you seriously? How will you explain that to your future lover?”

He for one would be very upset to find out that someone he was in love with had promised their life to another. What was left for him then in that case, right?

          “Ah-ah-” Dongmin probably meant ‘like’ as a general term, nothing to get so flustered about, calm down, calm down- “I’m - ergh - I don’t think you’re getting it… maybe instead of ‘like’ I should say ‘love’?”

    Wait, wait, that could be mistaken for platonic or friendly love, he’d better be clear he meant romantic interest - “Love as in dating, like boyfriends, you know?” God could he be any more awkward.

          “Um, you probably have more experience in casual hangouts than I do, so what would you suggest? Ouvara and Danon are big cities, there’s probably plenty to do.” As in the sister-capitals were a land of adventure.

    God, Dongmin was going to give Kyouhei a heart attack with little to no effort which would be pretty embarrassing, to just keel over on the sidewalk on the cusp of his new life.

          “Personally… personally I would like a private confession… that and if I was confessing I wouldn’t want to pressure my partner into accepting, so a private setting would be… would be better, yeah?”

    That was even more embarrassing. Scratch Dongmin killing him, Kyouhei was going to do it himself. “Duly… duly noted…. I won’t say that again until I’m at the altar. If that ever happens.”

Protecting the River

friendlyoceangiant:

Mizumachi looked over the Mer with his clear blue eyes with a friendly smile on his face. It was not too often when someone would remember to come and greet him as the Master of the River. Respect was something that didn’t seem to be taught now a days. It was good to know that some out there still valued polite protocol. 

“From the Bermuda Triangle, is it? That is quite some distance. The waters there more turbulent than the ones here, so you shall find it easy to get along here. Though boring it may be in comparison, the waters are friendly.” 

It was the humans who weren’t so friendly, unfortunately. From what he’s seen thus far (though minuscule), the Mer was an agreeable lad. It would be just fine to allow him to take up short residence in his territory. 

Motioning for the young Mer to come closer, he extended a hand, long fingers opened invitingly. If Kyouhei was going to be a guest in the territory then the current residents had to know he was welcomed. That was easy enough by giving Kyouhei a seal, which Mizumachi did by kissing the back of the hand. 

“I will allow you to take short residence in these waters. Come closer to I may give you my seal proving that you are welcome here. I am the master of these Waters and most call me Mizumachi, it’s a pleasure to meet you, young one.”

    Kyouhei couldn’t help but hold himself still and at rapt attention in the face of the water diety. Despite the fact that this one looked friendly as could be, he knew that diety’s often reflected their environment.

    Water was an unpredictable and merciless element, and so most masters were the same, changing on a whim.

          “Ah, it is but I felt that a change of scenery was necessary…” His general attitude was being received well, that was good! He still shied away from giving up too many details. “Thank you, I’m sure I’ll enjoy these waters.”

    He offered up his hand, not quite resting it in the hand of Mizumachi but letting a little water separate the obvious warmth there, as was often more comfortable than skin-on-skin contact.

          “Thank you once again. I’ll do my best to follow your example while in these waters.”

Study cards... or FUN cards?

theshadowjjang:

      Dongmin thought about it and he wondered if there was some kind of a trick to this, or they just weren’t very good at this. “I feel as though the trick here is that they must be using glue or tape.” It was the only explanation that he could think of. If simply exhaling was enough to knock down the small triangle he made, how was it that card castles could stand to the test on a movie set or for a homemade video?

Moving closer on his end as well, he carefully held the cards in question and waited for him to put on the roof to give them the stability they so desired.

“Good luck to you. Give them the support they need so they can stand tall.”

He chuckled to himself.

“I guess it’s just like people, you can stand by yourself and try to appear strong, but ultimately you need others to keep you standing.”

Was that too deep? He was thinking of Ingong as he stared at the cards, so maybe that’s why.

    If it was really something like glue or tape wouldn’t there be a lot of problems in using this as a de-stressing solution? Wait, wait, Kyouhei was at least a little sure he’d seen a video on how to do it, somewhere…. Argh.

          “That’d suck for us, then. I don’t think I have glue or tape on me and I don’t see the point of going to get some if I’m just going to have to use these cards later.” He pulled a random index card up and read the formula written there with a blank face.

          “That is… hm… Dongmin, do you normally say things like that or have you just not slept in a while?” Kyouhei was in college for physical science, not philosophy or psychology.

“Studying? What’s that?”

friendlyoceangiant:

[水] - They were like potato nuts. He was now imagining potatoes being added into trail mix for people to munch on while they were going hiking. It was full of carbs so it would give you lots of energy. Potatoes are really big though, so they wouldn’t be very travel friendly.

     “Potato nuts, heh. Makes me want to replace all nuts with potatoes.”

Just to see what would happen, of course.

With Kyouhei’s reaction to being called short, Mizumachi was taken aback. Thinking on it, he could guess why he was upset by it. The blond has always been on the taller side, so he couldn’t really understand how anyone who was short felt about their vertical challenges. Looks like he may have offended his friend with the comment he made nonchalantly without thinking much on his words.

     “Ah… sorry dude, I didn’t mean anything by it.
             Just saying you were short compared to me, but lots of people are.
      You’re average in height and that’s fine.
             Some of the best athletes I know are your height or shorter.”

He used to look down (figuratively speaking) on people who were shorter than him, but after playing football with many teams, he started to realize that height wasn’t the only quality one needed as an athlete. Skill, heart, and strategy was needed. He didn’t see shorter athletes as being beneath him. Mizumachi respected all of them.

     “Haha, I was born this way!
            Though I guess drinking lots of milk would help?”

    Well, if all nuts were replaced by potatoes… he wouldn’t have to worry about his allergy anymore, maybe? Wait, wait, it couldn’t be that simple, right? His allergy was something he’d always lived with and had had to take precautions against… but just removing them altogether… would his body, just on policy, develop an allergic reaction to another food?

     Ah, crap, he’d snapped. Kyouhei wasn’t used to playful poking at his height and so he’d reacted defensively… Mizumachi didn’t even have anything to apologize for!

           “Aha, it’s fine, ‘Machi, my fault for getting all prickly. I know you wouldn’t tease me about something I can’t help with the purpose of hurting me. You’re too nice for that.” Too nice and… how could Kyou say that his tall friend didn’t seem smart enough to bully someone without accidentally insulting him?

     That was interesting. The brunet had never dared to get invested in any sports because one; he was short for his age all across the globe and two; sports seemed like something you needed a lot of energy and aptitude to participate in.

           “Makes me think of a song, but I can’t recall it completely.” He let out a soft huff and then tilted his head back, eyebrows furrowed. “Milk, huh? Can’t say I like milk by itself all that much.”
