MISFIRES

a rambunctious duo in salt has stuck their nose where they shouldn't and now you can all reap the rewards! this is a MISFIRES meme. post a header for your character, and receive accidental texts from your local saltburntian guests. nudes, nasties, confessions of a certain persuasion? things you'd otherwise never write or send? they're all on the table. (meme threads aren't game canon, but they're not not game canon either, right)

[chokedout]

... No, but it's like I remember it vaguely anyway.

[The overlap. A constant thing.]

Maybe it was a past life, y'know?

[mygoodsir]

Strange. I feel...

[He looks around, as if they might be overheard.]

I feel you might be right. It's terribly unscientific but... maybe there are echoes in time. Sometimes I feel I can almost see a past I've never known.

[chokedout]

Being a man of science and medicine, you don't think it's weird, do you? I've seen so many shrinks over the years, trying to tell me it's - it's caused by this, imagined by that.

[Theo frowns.]

Can I tell you a dumb secret?

[mygoodsir]

You may. I won't tell a soul.

[chokedout]

This morning I couldn't find my cigarettes. So I did a little spell in my head, as if that'd help me find them.

[...]

I'm not even into Wicca.

[mygoodsir]

Is your family superstitious? I've known some people who will pray to St. Anthony if things are lost, a habit that picked up from grandmothers and mothers.

[chokedout]

Not really. My parents are pretty straight laced, no nonsense types. I mean, I definitely lean the other way but... it was just like I did it on autopilot. Which is weird, right?

[What is he, a freakin' witch?]

I did find my smokes five minutes later. But I don't think it's related.

[mygoodsir]

Careful, we'd have hung you for that a few hundred years ago.

[He means it as a joke, but something in it rings strangely. Harry frowns and strokes Teddie's back.]

...do you think you could do a little spell to find anything else?

[chokedout]

[Teddie laughs, nonetheless.]

Mmm, looking for something? It has to be genuinely lost.

[He blinks. That just came out.]

I think.

[mygoodsir]

A room. The room. I can't find it again.

[He hugs Teddie close.]

Something strange is happening, isn't it?

[chokedout]

Oh. Maybe? I mean, can't hurt to play pretend - remind me to try tomorrow and I will.

[Because he's not getting up out of bed tonight.]

Is it weird to think it's getting worse, the longer it's been?

[mygoodsir]

Thank you.

[If they could find the room with the chest again... maybe everything would feel normal again.]

No. No, it is getting worse. At least, I feel it is.

I'm so sorry for dumping all of this on you.

[chokedout]

Oh, don't be. I like a change of pace.

[Said with a smile, but also some genuine meaning.]

I feel really comfortable talking to you. It's nice? Unexpected, too. I was thinking you'd take me for a spin and we'd never see each other again... and here I am, wondering if you'd want to eat breakfast with me tomorrow.

[mygoodsir]

And I you. Which is a bit odd. No offense, but generally my, ah... younger friends are not who I turn to for deep conversation.

[chokedout]

[Teddie sits up a bit, leaning on his elbow - just so he can better look Harry in the face with a faux-surprised look. He then kisses him on the cheek and settles back down.]

Sooo. Would you be up for breakfast? We can keep on this new trend of deep conversation in lieu of hot, passionate sex until we feel like switching it up.

[mygoodsir]

[Harry laughs softly.]

I would.

...and I'm not opposed to the hot, passionate sex. You are very attractive.

[chokedout]

Mm, well. Eat big tomorrow and I'll give you a good workout afterward.

[He pats Harry on the belly.]

And if you ask nice I could give you a taste tonight too. But only if you want. I like this too- it's cozy.

[mygoodsir]

[Harry flushes slightly. He is a slim man, but his belly is soft and furry. He's a little self conscious about it when he's not drunk.]

Tell me: what do you like, sexually? Not what do you think will turn me on, just what do you like?

[chokedout]

What do I like?

[It feels like a foreign question for a second - something he's got to get used to answering, blaming that on relationship after relationship and fling after fling tainting his view. But he doesn't come up empty - he just thoughtfully chews his lip for a beat before answering:]

I like a little romance too - when it's soft, or slow. Rhythmic, almost. I like feeling someone kiss my neck and tell me all the reasons they like me, or want me. I like it just as much as the rough and tumble. I know they're two separate zones but - I like them in even balance. Do you prefer topping?

[mygoodsir]

I see. That's really rather sweet of you.

[He smiles.]

Not really. That is, I enjoy both equally. But when one goes on holiday to a manor full of twinks one usually winds up playing daddy.

[chokedout]

Well, I'm a good switch. So we can play with that as we see fit then, too.

[Twinks rarely get to flex those muscles in manors like this, after all!]

[mygoodsir]

Mm. I can't imagine you won't fit.

[He says it like he doesn't realise it's suggestive.]

[chokedout]

[Theo laughs again, and then is back up on his elbow - mostly so he can flip to lay more soundly against Harry, hand to his cheek as he delivers a soft but slow kiss. You've earned it, Oldsir.]

[mygoodsir]

[It's good to kiss back. Comfortable. Like he's done it before a hundred times.]

[chokedout]

[Theo comes up for air a moment later, then pecks at the corner of Harry's lips. His hand feels over his cheek, almost like he's missing something there.]

You know, if we don't fuck tonight - It'd only be fair for me to fill your inbox with nudes. Ever been nude-bombed?
