Absolem sniggered at the youthâs response, a fulfilled smirk crossing his pastel lips. His eyes closed calmly as if he had time to be lighthearted and aloof. Absolem was compassionate when he sought to be, but also quite roguish and punishing when the condition called for such conduct.
â But of course.. â Absolem retorted in a soothing tone, amused with the boyâs uneasy shift of his body.
Do I make you this jumpy? Please donât make it mind-numbingly easy! Absolem laughed softly to himself, shaking his head at the boy.
He is too innocent. I am afraid this game of the Queenâs is going to destroy him entirely.. Absolem ran a hand through the boyâs blonde hair absentmindedly, a dark blush crossing his face when he was clung to.
W-what do you think you are doing!? He didn't realize what the boy was dreaming about, but oddly he resembled a tree very well. However, if Grey told him thatâs why he nuzzled the older man in his sleep, heâd be paying a disastrous price for embarrassing him so on accident. Absolem went openmouthed when abruptly stirred by Cheshireâs closer voice.
I probably need to grab a book of riddles, leave, crawl under a rock and commence dying. This is cruel and unusual torture. He never actually âsleptâ in the company of others, especially bearing in mind the Jabberwocky was stirring around. He instantly tried to wriggle his frame free of the blonde,
â I swear Iâll rip you apart if I get out of this death grip.. â his snarled at the cat in irritation and masked humiliation, much like a sibling whom got teased for having being caught with an significant other. However, this made the feline lucky. Had it been anyone else, it wouldâve resulted in a much more violent and messy intent. If he actually ever succeeded in catching and restraining Cheshire, he already had his plan long decided.
Iâll shave off all your hair, fur, whatever that is⊠then Iâll rip you apart.. not that it would do much good.. He silently chuckled at the idea, letting the situation slide for now. â Congratulations on cheating death.. â Absolem smirked, trying to regain some of his rapidly fading dignity. He'd definitely punish Grey. One way or another, he would get revenge for this misunderstanding.
â How many of your nine lives are left? â he teased, trying to overlook his⊠homosexual incident. Then he looked between Rhia and Cheshire, eyes sparkling with a hint of entertainment across his features,
â Kiss and make up yet? â the man quirked an eyebrow amused. He seemed to enjoy making Grey and Rhia uncomfortable, meanwhile possibiliy irritating the feline. It was great fun annoying three people at once without fear of repercussions.
Rhia opened her mouth to say something, but promptly sealed it shut, jerking when he nicknamed her princess,
â D-donât call me that! â she protests aloud, but was almost immediately silenced by his subsequent action. Her eyes widened quite noticeably when he wiped her tears away, biting her bottom lip. She further dries her face, jolting her head in the ânoâ motion,
â I-Iâm not! â she stammers in denial, tensing in recognition that she was succumbing to her fragility, conveying it recklessly in front of Cheshire. She wanted to kick herself for being so blind to her burst of irrational behavior. She clenches her eyes shut before whirling around so her back faced him. She plead her diminutive aquamarine hair was sufficient to obscure it from his line of vision, but her cheeks were deeply flushed.
This isnât fair! Quit saying overwhelming things.. I canât cope with it right now. I thought you died because of us! â Well you could have. â She mumbled defiantly.
He wants to celebrate after getting mauled? What is wrong with his inner function? She ran a hand through her hair, trying to calm her embarrassment before he noticed. Heâd never let her live it down. Rhia went wide eyed when twirled to reface Absolemâs house, opening her mouth once again as if to tell him something, but closing it for the second time.
Heâll see soon enough for himself I suppose. She dropped her head, letting him yell at the mint man and the blonde. She was beginning to feel more and more regret as to the method in which she apologized. The longer she had to think about it, the more distressing the thought was.
I did something embarrassing again.. crap. Well, now Cheshire will get to make fun of Absolem for the rest of his days about being homosexual.. maybe he will overlook me?Rhia braved the hand holding nicely for such an physically introverted person, though it all went downhill when he stopped pulling her along. Gradually she sensed herself tensing up once he had stopped at the door, internally praying heâd just continue on into the house. She peered up at him apprehensively.
Oh god, what now? I didnât say anything! That nosy look on his face was unraveling her confidence.
Just why are you staring at me like that for? We have two days until the games, not to mention the Jabberwocky appears to have a peculiar vendetta with you! Her gaze softened, becoming a little composed and more laidback. She opened he mouth to protest, but before she uttered a single syllable, she discovered they were temple-to-temple. Her face shifted between shades of pink, completely taken off guard,
â W-what do you mean by that!? â she asks alarmed by the vagueness of his words.
Physical action?! Is everyone from Wonderland a pervert? First, Absolem threatening to discipline Grey, then, Cheshire shifting chillingly close to her? She was unsure what he was referring to, but she decided to give him a minute of her trust. She blinks a few times, bewilderment crossing her features before shock overtook her expression, rendering her speechless. She was at a loss of words. It took her a moment to register she was allowed to move freely once he let go, but she quivered previous to adverting her gaze,
â Idiot.. â she stated barely audible. She didn't mean it, insulting him was just how she coped with embarrassment. Rhia blinked a bit, hearing something inside of her head;
-W-what do you think you are doing!?- She looked around, it was Absolemâs voice inside of her head..? She strained to keep her mind off it, but it was problematic to overlook something as concerning as that.
What did Cheshire do..?Rhia made a face at Cheshire, a sulky expression following. Today was still stressing her out, she felt the need to reflect on it and learn how to not repeat the mistakes made, but his major concern was having splendid time and it seemed he was enjoying himself in adding onto her list of stressful thoughts.
No wonder he transforms so much.. heâs worse than a woman or man so he has to be both. Thatâs the only way to describe this walking enigmatic existence. She sighed when he burst out laughing,
â I tried to tell you sooner.. â she muttered, walking to one of the empty couches, returning to her defensive, distant persona once under the other male individuals range of acknowledgement .
-Iâll shave off all your hair, fur, whatever that isâŠthen Iâll rip you apart.. not that it would do much good- Rhia stirred again, feeling even further distraught.
Am I.. hearing Absolemâs thoughts? She decided to test the theory,
â Absolem, does your revenge consist of shearing Cheshireâs hair..err..Fur? Whichever it is..? â
