whiteshroud | Krusnik Kids Group Chat

["Wasn't really in any shape to fight back" is a telling statement to how bad it must've truly been. Anyone who wanted to survive in Krusnik long had to fight for it, especially if there were no siblings to help look after you. So to be in that bad of a shape while he was all alone....

There's a pause, a notable pause, before Jun chooses to respond with a joke.]

And so instead of attacking him, you got to discover that day how much you like being a damsel.

Ah, that makes sense. It'd be less fun if you knew everything that was going to happen.

[It's a hell of a statement coming from one of them. Harumasa doesn't say that lightly, either. But he doesn't elaborate. Not unless he's asked... and he knows there's a high chance that Jun will never ask.

So he takes to the joke with equal good humor.]

My heart fluttered! It's still stressful, sure, but I don't have to work anywhere near as hard~ AND I get to see my hero risking it all just to save me? It's perfect!

Exactly! It's those surprises that gives life its color~

[Harumasa is right about that. It's not that Jun doesn't care, in fact it's quite the opposite. He cares a lot. But there's only so much digging in old wounds one can do before it starts getting harmful for both of them. Leave that kind of work to a therapist, not his brother.

But also god it's embarrassing to hear it described like that. As someone who deep down likes it when people save him, he feels uncomfortably seen.]

Sure, I guess it has its appeal.

[Varian already knows this fact about Jun. He has connected these particular dots from how Jun reacts to when he fights anyone who threatens his boyfriend like something feral. He knows this fact about his boyfriend so well. He has reaped the benefits from this fact. ]

Yeah, Babe? It has an appeal, huh?

[....................Frick he forgot Varian could see this.

He squeaks a little in surprise and nearly drops his phone, but thankfully manages to catch it in time.]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[HELP]

Oh~? Does my adorable little brother also have this in common with me?

[Like a tiger smelling blood.]

[ He knew Jun forgot he could see this, he knew. He's gonna save this one for future teasing. He did this to himself. But for now, at least, he will show mercy. ]

I'm sure you don't, Jun. Anyway, I'll let you know back to your story about how you got swept off your feet by the grumpiest man alive. That was sweet.

[Encouraging a good relationship between his brother and his boyfriend was a mistake. He sees that now.

And even if Varian is showing mercy now, he knows it's going to be used later. Like an axe above his head. How does he circumvent this? How?]

Sometimes it's nice not to be the knight.

[NOT BY CONFESSING TO IT, YOU IDIOT]

[Get rekt, little bro.]

Yeah, bro? It's nice being the princess in the tower?

I never said that!

You pretty much did.

[...............

Yeah, he can see he's cornered here. No denying, especially with Varian here to factcheck him if he feels like it. There's only one answer to this.

Fuck it, we ball (13)]

Fine. I like being a princess and all the things that comes with it. It makes me happy when Varian princess-carries me. Sometimes I'll even dress as one for cosplay or drag.

And for the record I make a CUTE princess too. [Gonna slam down his photo from a previous Pride month]

You DO make a cute princess. I can confirm.

[Look, if Jun's gonna put a picture like that down here, he is gonna simp. He's allowed to. It's his right! ]

Thank you, Var. I'm happy you think so.

[It is in fact his right!!]

[!!!]

Look at you! You're so pretty in pink~!

Ah, I wish I could be princess carried, but no. Ragna's too grumpy for that.

Thank you. I like pink, it's a good color.

[....]

Well, maybe once Varian finishes with his new arm, you can try to say it's a way for him to practice getting used to the prosthetic.

[ He made this error and now he has to live with it. He knows what they're both like and he did this anyway.

It will be used later. He will be teased without mercy when they're alone. He can be grateful he's being shown mercy right now. Except, of course, Jun is just confessing it. Out loud. ]

Yeah? I have noticed that. I noticed that a lot. It's okay, My Love, I don't mind being your knight when you need it.

[Because sometimes he's stupid, that's why. He just wanted the important people in his life to get along, and now he's paying for it.

..........

Also goddammit Varian why did you have to say that in front of Haru and why did it have to be so charming and make Jun's heart flutter. He really wants to swoon and flirt back-- but BROTHER. RIGHT THERE.]

why are you doing this

[Now he's paying for it! It will only get worse form here on out as they get closer.

Varian knows. He can sense it. He's having a great time. ]

You're doing it to yourself.

[But he'll send a quick telepathic message: ]

I think it's adorable. I LIKE making you swoon~
