dioception | IC Inbox/ DIO's Diary

[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.

[The funny thing is that the both of them would have been fine if she stuck to kink stuff. But...this is important.]

Right. I can get that. I was just...asking, because...

If it works out, if would you want to date me at the same time?

No pressure, I just...want to establish facts.

[It's funny. The selfish part of him wanted to assure her that he could handle it. The he would do anything to be with her. That he was interested in courting her the most.

But part of him went back to his conversation with Mikado. Her dating him would damage her standing in the community. Socially or politically. And how Mikado said that he would be very cross with him if he were the one to call it off without giving her the choice.]

It was... it was different before. I felt somewhat secure with him. It was something ongoing, that I didn't think needed tending, but I was obviously wrong.

That being said, yes. It would be happening at the same time. I-if... you decided that you wanted to! And I wouldn't blame you or be angry with you if you didn't.

[She nods, nibbling her lip. It's true. There could be damage, but. But. She's already doing what she can. And really, while it is one way to help people, with the politics or whatever, there are other ways.

She takes a deep breath. Another. This is one if the scariest things she's had to do.]

Yes.

My answer is yes.

[Wait, what? No, that...!!! He just posed himself as a bad romantic partner! AND HE IS!]

Are... you certain? I don't want you to feel bad when I have to spend time with Jonathan and not with you. And I... I'm not... a good person.

[Dio turns his eyes away, cringing a little. Please don't make him talk about it.] People will think poorly of it.

They have every reason to.

I know you're not a good person. Not always. But I think you can do great things.

[Masaki lightly touches his cheek.]

We can both date other people at the same time. I wouldn't be able to do this if I made you give up the man you love.

As for the other people...let them. They're not the ones who make me feel cherished, safe, and happy.

[He felt bad. She didn't know how bad he was. Is. But he was afraid that if he told her everything, she would abandon him.]

And you don't mind... my feelings for Jonathan? How much history I have with him? The fact that I live with him still...?

[Truly, he felt better that she would date other people. That... actually made it less awkward, but he'd have to tell Jonathan about it too.]

Before you set your mind on it, I want you to know that there is a possibility that Jonathan won't be okay with it.

[And if he wasn't, Dio would choose Jonathan. It was implied, because he felt that saying it aloud was rather cruel. Implying it at all was rather cruel, but he couldn't lie about that.]

Mind? No. Like I said, you can love more than one person.

[She doesn't know, what he's done. What he could do. Why people may hate, or fear him. She knows this.

And she knows if it came down to it, Jonathan would come first.]

It's okay. No, its not...okay, but he's important to you. I know that.

[She blinks rapidly, offers him a smile. It's a bit wobbly around the edges.]

I'll be okay. I'll still be a friend, to both of you.

[Oh. He'd wanted her to reconsider it, but he didn't want her being sad about that either. Fuck. Fuck! Shit.]

I... suppose if you are determined. I would love to have you.

[Now might not have been the best of times, or it might have been. There was no way to know, but either way Dio was probably about as frightened as Masaki, though for wildly different reasons.]

I will do my best to be worthy of your decision.

[She ducks her head, and nods. Admitting that she wanted to be with him, maybe even marry him one day-that was..

Well. If he rejected her, it would hurt, but she would recover. She hoped.]

That's all we can do, is our best.

[She takes a deep breath, and tilts her face back up. Someone else might have found it funny that she was freaking out the big scary vampire. She didn't.]

But lets put that to rest for now, okay? Lets talk about something else, like...

[She strokes a couple of fingers over her pulse, on her throat. Oh, you know. Lunch. Snacks. Whatever.]

[Many people would no doubt find it amusing that the things that freak Dio out were normal human interactions. Why else would be avoid them so much...?

And then Masaki had to go reminding him that she'd offered to feed him.]

Mmmhhh... [Surely, he could have a little from someone who may one day be his wife.]

Yeah...? You want to talk about it....?
