dioception | IC Inbox/ DIO's Diary

[That's a way to look at it too, but it felt so final. Like, "well, now you know he could never be in that sort of a relationship with you". That isn't something he knows he can live with.

Dio sits silently for a moment, chewing on his lower lip and ending up puncturing the skin with a fang.]

Thank you for listening. I'm still not sure what I intend to do with him, but... I don't know. I'm not really willing to give up, yet.

Then don't. He might change is mind.

[She smooths his hair with her fingers briefly, before going back to brushing his hair.]

You know what he feels now, but that's not an absolute. Just take care of yourself. That's how you can thank me.

[That's something he can DO? Change his mind?

He gave a little contented hum at the smoothing of his hair with her hand. He liked it. Simple physical reassurance was quite effective with Dio.

Also, this makes her the second person to tell him to do that recently, the other person being Mikado.]

I'll do that. I really... appreciate this, Masaki. I probably seem like I'm being unreasonable. I hope I didn't put you out too much.

[She hummed under her breath, stroking through her fingers through his hair again. It really was nice. Soft. Maybe she shouldn't be doing this but...if he liked it...]

No, you're fine. I've been pretty hard on you too, sometimes, even unfair. I'm sorry if I've been unreasonable to you too.

[Dio stopped to turn and look up at her from his spot on the ground, seeming rather confused, because he was.]

How have you been hard or unfair to me...? You've been nothing but kind from my perspective.

Well, I have asked you some pretty hard questions.

And....I kinda...shot you. I meant for it to miss though.

[SHE STILL FELT BAD ABOUT IT.]

But that was... [Dio still seemed confused.]

It was an accident, and you were trying to help. Maybe not directly help me, but help nonetheless. It wasn't... I mean. That wasn't your fault. You shouldn't feel bad for it.

Yes, it was an accident, but I still hurt you. Even if I was still trying to help you.

[She wrinkled her nose.]

Maybe I shouldn't feel bad, but I do.

[Dio laughed a little at that, still looking up at her, a smile slowly spreading over his face.]

I've endured worse.

Hell, Jonathan has beheaded me, cut me in half vertically, lit
me on fire, and torn off my arm, at least. So don't worry about it. A little shot in my shoulder? That's nothing.

Eh?

[She blinked, and her mouth opened, and closed. Well that was...she looked him over, bewildered.]

But...I uh....um.

[She started, and stopped.]

Do I even want to know how...?

[A beat, and:]

Does it mean you'll like me more if I did hurt you?

[Het man, he told you he was a dracula-esque Head Vampire once, right? You don't leave them be, and Jonathan was the Big Hero in his story. It was simply how things went.

That last part got Dio turning a little red though. CAT'S OUTTA THE BAG.]

I... I-uh...

Well I mean...!!! I wouldn't like you less!

[Oh no, oh no, oh no, she knows. She totally knows, that was not smooth. Phew, was it hot in here or was it just Dio???]

[She just didn't realize head actually meant head. Though jeeze, she totally needs to talk about Jonathan about this. Spilt him vertically? Set him on fire?

That is going to be one hell of a tea time.]

Ah!

[She claps her hands to his cheeks.]

I know what that is! You're a masochist!

[She wasn't wrong but damn.]

I-I mean... yes...???

[He is just going to die right now. But she seemed so happy.]

You seem... okay with that.

It's kinda extreme, but I think I get it!

[She laughs a little, wiggling in her seat. Oh man oh man so was this why he fought a lot...?]

Dio? While I don't think I could fight you? I know I could spank you.

With your permission, of course.

[Yes, only a little extreme. He was talking about dismemberment. Not that he generally sought dismemberment for fun.]

Mmmm... I think I could see me letting you do that.

But only if you had some sort of tool for it. [He gave her a wry little grin.] I think your hands might be too soft for me.

[Dismemberment has now become kinks. Or was it a kind of kink all along...? Who knows.]

And small. Not so sure about completely soft, but small.

[Her hands ease away from his face, so she could comb her fingers through his hair.]

I've used a book before. But I don't think that's what you have in mind.

[Okay, maybe a little dismemberment for fun.]

But a crop is small too, and rather nice. Hands just don't seem to do it for me... [Unless they were big, and grabbing more than smacking... though some smacking was also good.]

You never seemed the sort to be into that kind of thing though. I wonder what else it is that I don't know about you.

[A little?]

Oh, I didn't think of that.

[She nibbled her lip; he had a good point. Also they might make some satisfying swishing noises.]

I'm learning about it myself. It kinda...slipped out. Maybe it's been there all along.

[She shrugs. Her cheeks feel warm, but she's still smiling.]

Mm, but what else could you find out about me...who knows. It's a mystery.

[Dio laughed a bit at that, obviously in a better mood now than he was in when he'd arrived here, though his eyes were still sore and his head still hurt from three crying not too long ago.]

I think maybe it's something innate. After all, stone people here didn't even know about sex before, and they've ended up surprisingly kinky.

[Like Jonathan. He wouldn't say that though, simply thinking of it.]

[She was glad for that. Glad for the better mood. She always liked it when he smiled.]

Could be? And maybe all the bug biting helped.

I got a little...feisty. At times. And I liked it.

Ahh... yes, that's true. Those sorts of things happen around here.

It's good when you find yourself enjoying it, though it's... frightening sometimes.

[Dio had many misgivings about the things that have happened in the past. Thankfully things seem to have calmed down as of recent.]

I hope that it continues to be mostly pleasant for you.

Yeah. I remember you telling me that.

[She nibbles her lip. Well, she's not sure how she got them from Dio the punch buggie to that, but there you go.]

Speaking of pleasant, terrifying things...

Mmh?

[Dio had a number of ideas of what she could be thinking of that were pleasant and terrifying, but he wasn't going to suggest anything, instant just looking at her with interest, allowing her to speak.]

[Sadly she's not going for kinky, she doesn't have the toys for that. But she will take a moment to fluff Dio's hair. It's for her nerves.]

You're...going to try and date Jonathan, right?

[Dio wished it had been about kinky stuff. This was... more difficult to discuss. He went silent for a moment, truly giving the question thought. The internal conflict was written on his face as his brows knit together.]

I don't know. The feelings I have for him are so strong, they've lasted over a century. I think the intensity frightens him.

I don't want to frighten him away, but I'd love for him to love me.
