[ open ] Quest Catch-all!

Who: Guren Ichinose & Various
Where: All around town
When: The month of September!
What: QUEST RELATED CATCH ALL. There's an open bee prompt since Guren is a red, so anyone is welcome even if you didn't plot with me! Newbies too, once they get in!
Warnings: None. Will add if necessary!

A. Bees to see - OPEN

[Guren feels as though he's been going a little easy on the quests lately. It's time to fix that. He's antsy, he's got an empty jar in one hand and his other on his sword, and he holds it up to anyone who might pass him by.]

[And with that simple line, they're off! Unless your character has any resistance, of course, but assuming they don't, Guren leads them right into the forest.]

B. Wildcard - OPEN

[If you want to hit Guren up for a different quest, even if he's a red, feel free! Try to ruin his day? Just see what he's up to? This is my generic space to say anyone can tag me even if I didn't plot things with them, so feel free, or hit me up at

zeloser to work something out, if you want!]

Closed prompts in the comments!

[ enough people have said that he’s kind and caring that he just doesn’t have the energy to protest anymore, which is sort of like accepting it.

of course guren thinks that. he’s biased… ]

…

[ he doesn’t answer right away, idly stroking whatever he can reach. the question that follows is a slightly lighter one than when guren has asked dextera the same thing—it doesn’t really matter if yuu knows they’re dating or not. ]

Does he know? About us?

About...—

[Ah, it's so different when things are turned on him. He looks a little worked up, just from thinking about it, and he pulls a hand back to scrub at the side of his own face.]

I didn't say it directly or anything, but it should be clear from what I did say. That you're family, that you're coming back with us. He can tell you mean more to me than anyone else here.

[ luckily, dextera is neither offended nor worried. he was careful about what he said to yuu, too, and if guren wants to keep the direct statement off the table, then that’s fine. ]

Heh heh. That’s enough for me.

[ a little family, with himself and guren and yuu and sinistra… it’s a dream come true. ]

[Is it enough... Now that it's pointed out to him, he wonders if it's fair. But the truth is, he's just embarrassed. Admitting it aloud? Saying it to anyone else? Why, when it's so obvious? Isn't it clear enough?

But, he can't deny that he wants people to know. So why...

Ahh, his own emotions frustrate him, and so he kisses again at Dextera, this time at his cheek, humming there afterwards.]

You can tell him, if you want.

[ dextera gratefully accepts the kiss, but guren’s comment—he’s being a baby about this. why? just because he’s embarrassed? ]

…he’s your responsibility. Why me?

...No, I just meant that if you want him to know more directly, then you can tell him.

[Guren pulls back a little, from this embarrassment. He's a loser.]

It'd be weird if I told him. He doesn't care what I get up to in my personal life. He'll get it enough.

[ that’s probably true to an extent, but yuu likes guren, right? he’d want to know about something like that, but then, dextera really has no grasp on the type of person yuu is.

dextera shakes his head, quickly. ]

That’s OK. He’ll find out.

[Phew.]

Exactly. [His hands find Dextera's face now, cupping it and just... holding it there. He wonders if this conversation helps his scar at all, or if it's doing nothing. He wonders how much Dextera is in pain, or what he can do to help. He wonders if Yuu will figure out in a way that's not a huge headache. He's thinking a lot, really.]

Just worry about being his friend. It'll all go fine.

[ pain is so, so familiar to dextera. he’s used to it, to the suffering, and so the usual dull throb of his side is something that can be ignored. it’s a little stronger now, but—it’s calming. it’s something.

with guren cupping his face, he moves forward just a bit to press a light, loving kiss to his mouth. ]

…

[ he considers saying something, and in the same beat rethinks it in favor of a second, longer kiss. guren has so much on his mind, always. he wishes he could do more to ease it. ]

[If only Dextera knew how simple pleasures like these helped, in the long run. In the moment, too. The first kiss is nice, but it's the second one that has him soaking it in even more. It's the statement of it, the idea that Dextera thought again and wanted to kiss him more, instead of it just being a habit.

Guren...misses him. Whenever they're apart, no matter how short it is. He wants to be there, next to him. He wants to sleep next to him more. He wants to hold him more. As much as he wants to believe he'll always be able to do this as much as he wants, he wants to make sure he does it now enough.

So he kisses back, lips covering Dextera's bottom lip, letting his own slowly slip over it to close, and then repeating, a new angle, pressed a little closer. His body shifts to be closer, as well. His hand wraps around him again and rests at his side. Just a slow enjoyment. Like a conversation.

If he's too much of a baby to come out and ask Dextera for his time at any moment, he can at least express it like this.]

[ they’ve known heated passion, but this quiet, intimate affection is beloved, too. he loves to be held by guren. to hold him. he loves all of this, and as they kiss, dextera takes guren’s hand to guide it back down toward his scar.

it feels better.

guren may not be able to see it, like this, but dextera wouldn’t push him to touch it if he weren’t sure that progress had been made. they’re fine. this is fine. guren can help dextera just by being himself and giving dextera this company. ]

[He can feel the difference, and there's immediate relief in the way Guren moves. He relaxes, but he also pushes forward, a small bit of energy that's not enough to change it from a slow and intimate moment, but is enough to say that he's so glad. It's fine. It's better.

And maybe this is helping his heart, too. They're helping each other.

His hand smooths over where the scar is, feeling, grateful, and then moves down along his thigh, just to touch. To pull that leg closer to him. He just wants to appreciate Dextera. To feel the heat of their bodies together. He's so unbelievably relaxed, enjoying this with him. And with this pace, this slowness, they can both breathe as they kiss.

Guren kind of wants to keep going forever, so if Dextera wants to stop anytime soon, he'll have to be the one to do it.]

[ just kissing is good.

of course dextera wouldn’t say no to something more, but the slow pace of it keeps his arousal from kicking up into anything more than a slow burn just under his skin. a heat that’s pleasant, not urgent.

he hooks his leg around guren’s, gently pulling him in and tangling them together. he’s relaxed, not sleepy, and so his movements are that of a man who wants to keep this going in whatever way he can. ]

…mm.

[ a soft noise, as he moves away from guren’s mouth to kiss the underside of his jaw. ]

Ah—

[ That feels really nice. So nice that he sighs that sound out in the most pleased way. He’s feeling that same energy and interest as Dextera, and he tilts his head back to enjoy the attention. He feels loved. Wanted. As simple as it is, it’s so nice. His legs curl and shift a little more in how they’re tangled, wanting more contact, and his eyes glance down brightly at Dextera. This is all that he wants. As long as he keeps kissing. If he stops, Guren is going to get needy and pull him back to kiss his lips again.

He curls his fingers at Dextera’s thigh momentarily, and then he’s moving his hand back up, along his side, past his scar, tenderly. Just feeling. ]

[ just feeling.

guren can just feel all he likes, and dextera will take all of it and be grateful. as little as he wanted to explain everything to guren, he’s glad he did—things aren’t perfectly resolved, no, but they’re moving towards better things.

he’s not thinking about his brother, or the archangel, or even ryo, right now. he’s just thinking about how to get that sound out of guren’s mouth again, and so he kisses his throat.

when he pauses, pulling back to meet guren’s eyes, he smiles. ]

[ He’s starting to feel a little flushed at the kissing and the attention. A kiss to his throat gets a long, deep breath that says that he loves it, and then Dextera is back in his view again. Grinning, he can’t help it— he tugs him up to kiss him again. He can’t stop grinning for it, and that’s fine. Grins are a nice way to end a kiss. ]

That feels nice. [ He has to voice it, when he wants it so badly. Dextera’s lips over his warm, increasingly sensitive skin. He can’t get enough. There’s another kiss, slow and meaningful. ]

Keep kissing me. [ Here, there, anywhere. ]

[ what a demand!

though it’s not as if dextera was ever, ever going to tell him no. kissing guren is something he’s never going to get tired of, and so when guren asks for more, it’s as natural as breathing to oblige.

this time, when he leans up to kiss guren, it’s a deep kiss with his lips parted—wanting, a little hungry. he doesn’t mean to come off as so eager, but he can’t help it when guren asks him. ]

Mm...

[ He’s so lucky to have this. To be here, to have met Dextera, to be with him now. Desire stirs in his stomach, and he can feel his demon growing eager just beneath his skin. Dextera’s wanting way of kissing only aids in that, and Guren presses back just as eagerly, making that small noise into the kiss.

They’ve dealt with a lot. They deserve to be able to turn to each other and fall into their arms, just like this. His hand bunches into Dextera’s shirt at the side before he lets go, slips under and presses his palm flat over his abs. ]

[ this is their little house. their home away from home away from home, which is so many degrees of separation that it feels like nothing could possibly be safer than this cottage. dextera doesn’t know that he’s ever felt so safe.

even in the outer world, where the meta-beings weren’t yet lurking, there was always the overwhelming feeling of danger. if he stood around too long, he would die.

here… it’s different. ]

…

[ dextera almost stops himself, though, when guren’s hand slips under his shirt. there’s only a moment of hesitation, like he’s worried that feeling the scar might ruin everything, but then he decides that he doesn’t care. he wants to show guren his fears, too, and he did just let him touch it through his clothes. it’s going away. it’s okay.

so when guren touches his abs, dextera holds guren’s shoulder, his breath coming out in soft, desirous pants. ]

[ Good. He wants Dex to feel safe, comfortable. He wants to share this moment together and give in to desire, without a care in the world stopping them. He covers his mouth, cutting off one of those pants with a deep kiss that says he’s just as interested. His hand smooths up, over his chest, groping shamelessly as his kissing trails to the side a little. The corner of his mouth, his jaw.

Things are starting to get colder. They might as well stay warm. ]
