Private RP with @TinyZombieKat (Stalkers Are Welcome, but You May Be Very Very Confused)

Neo tapped his nose sharply. “I wanna sass you.”

Braith laughed warmly. "That's not very Kingly of you." He stood and stretched, beginning to gather up the dirty dishes left behind from dinner.

Neo smiled and watched him stand. “Hm. Perhaps it is not, but I like messing with you.” He laughed softly and stood.

Braith snorted, throwing a green bean at Neo. "You are certainly good at that."

Neo looked down at his chest as the bean bounced off of it. “That is harassment!”

"Oh really?" Braith said grinning like a child as he threw another, this time aiming for Neo's handsome face.

Neo bent down slightly and caught the bean in his mouth. “Mmmm… green beans.”

Braith looked down at the dish loaded with the slender juicy bean. Considered it for a moment, a plan forming in his mind. He looked up at Neo, grinning wildly as he lifted the dish in one hand and diving his hand into the mess. He chuckled mischievously as he began pelting his lover with an assault of beany missiles.

Neo squeaked and ducked out of the way of the green missiles of bean-y goodness. He grabbed a chair and used it as a shield.

Braith laughed like a villain, diving for the leftover salad after he ran out of green beans. He was making a wild mess, but the way his heart beat furiously in his chest was euphoric. A bit of fun after a hard night was nothing to be ashamed of.

Neo backed up into the wall, cowering behind the chair, giggling softly. “Oh, fiend, I beg thee to stop!”

"Never!" Braith called, scooping up mashed potatoes in his hands and smearing it all over Neo's face and chest. "Ah HA! A masterpiece." he said, stepping back to admire his work.

Neo spluttered in protest, but didn’t have the balls to push Braith away. When he pulled back, Neo slowly opened his eyes, making sure the pasty potato doesn’t get in his eyes.

Braith roared with laughter. Doubling over has he gasped for breath. "You–You should see your face." He gasped, bringing the mental image up for Neo to read in his thoughts.

Neo rolled his eyes and looked down at himself. “You made a right mess of me,” He accused with a laugh in his voice.

"I've made a mess of everything." Braith said with another grin. He truly looked like a naughty child.

Neo chuckled. “You seem very proud of it. You naughty thing.” He booped Braith’s nose.

"Of course I am." He leaned forward, bringing Neo down to his level, and licked a lump of mashed potato off his cheek. "This is why you have me around. To lighten this cranky palace up."

Neo rolled his eyes when his cheek was licked. “Is licking things off of my face a kink for you, dear? You do it all the time.” He laughed, nudging his lover playfully.

Braith shrugged, licking the other cheek as well. "I like the way you taste. You add a nice spicy flavor to my food." He chuckled, wiggling his eyebrows.

Neo rolled his eyes at his response. “It’s definitely a kink.”

"Take it how you will." Braith said shrugging. He turned away to begin cleaning up the mess he made, but he kept turning and throwing food at Neo instead.

Neo chuckled as Braith turned around, slowly straightening up. He squeaked as he was pelleted again.

Braith's smiled faltered the tiniest bit. "Why doesn't M let anyone in?" he asked suddenly

Neo shook the mess off. “What do you mean let in? Why he’s so unfriendly?”

Braith nodded. "And well… I mean you have me. Obviously I'm not the only lover you've had, but it just seems that M had never had anyone?" He scrunched his face up, hoping he made sense.

Neo shook his head. “M never really had a lover. No one who loved him, anyway. He really is very kind once you get to know him, but… no one can stand him when he is so rude. Though it’s not his fault.”

Huffing, Braith frowned. "Why is he so rude then? I'm baffled. Why have the world misunderstand you on purpose?"

“He is one busy man,” Neo said wistfully, setting down the chair. “Personally, I don’t blame him for being so pushy and rude. It’s all because of how alone he feels.” He sighed. “Couldn't you see it? Mind Readers are not meant to be alone.”

"But…But he does it to himself…." Braith furrowed his brow. "If he was open and not so grouchy he would be able to find people to spend his time– his life with. As you have."
