(Oh Derlik, unlike some cough cough are not for that thing, or not consenting stuff)
(he'd just love the crap out of Smoke, human or cat either way)
"That's exactly how it works," Derlik said. "Gods have been doing it for eons." Derlik finally looked down at Nik, chuckling again.
"You're mine now, Nikolai."
(haha well good to know he has some sort of standards lmao)
(dfgabjdg Smoke as a human would be very confused)
Nik frowned. Well, frowned as much as a cat could frown, anyways. "Am not." he replied contrarily.
group
(well now that's definitely happening XD)
"Really? What makes you think that?" Derlik started away from the city, beginning to make his way into the forest.
"You're not even human right now. No one's going to agree with you. You're mine."
(XD okay)
He stuck out his tongue, squirming a little bit. "Am not." he replied again, glancing around a little fearfully. Smoke meowed again, unused to being outdoors.
group
Derlik hummed a little as he walked. He looked down at Smoke, smiling a little. He lifted the kitten out of his pocket and they came to a clearing. It was spacious, but there wasn't much in it except a single large boulder. It looked like a seat. Derlik walked over and sat down on it. He set Smoke down on the ground, letting him explore. He then held Nik out in front of him.
"Are too," he said. He touched Nik's cheek, turning him back into a human. However… He was still small enough to fit in Derlik's hand.
Smoke blinked down at the ground, and pawed at a leaf curiously, cocking his head at it. Nik stumbled for a moment, then frowned up at Derlik, crossing his arms uncomfortably.
group
Derlik glaced at Smoke, smiling at him. Then, he turned back to Nik. He crossed his legs, picking Nik up between thumb and forefinger gently and seeing him down on his knee.
"I'd make you normal sized," Derlik explained, "but I'm in no mood for a chase, and I know you'll just try to run away." He ruffled Nik's hair with a finger. "Still, I get to see your cute face when you're like this~" On Nik's wrist, another tattoo had appeared on the opposite arm of his original tattoo. Two crossed blades, to be exact.
Nik narrowed his eyes, ducking away from the touch and fixing his hair. "Leave me alone." he snapped, crossing his arms to hide how his hands were shaking. Smoke meowed faintly, playing with the leaf some more.
group
Derlik glanced at Smoke, chuckling softly at the cat's actions. Then, he narrowed his eyes. He wrapped his hand around Nik, picking him up and holding him close to Derlik's face.
"I don't think I will," he said. Now, not his voice had lost the chaotic charm from before. It sounded dangerous.
Nik flinched when Derlik's hand closed over him, and he went very still, staring up at the god. He remained silent, unsure what to do. Smoke continued playing with the leaf happily.
group
Derlik smirked a little.
"That's what I thought." He set Nik back down on his knee, resting his head on his hand. He looked at Smoke, cooing softly, and calling Smoke over.
Smoke, being a cat, didn't respond to his name being called, and continued playing with the leaf. Nik frowned, still glaring angrily up at Derlik.
group
Derlik giggled when Smoke didn't come. He picked Nik up again, sliding down to sit on the ground. He scratched Smoke's head, setting Nik down on the ground to focus on the cat.
Nik glanced around, debating the wisdom of running, but decided against it. He was too tiny for that. Smoke rolled over, looking up at Derlik and blinking innocently, the leaf caught in his teeth.
group
Derlik smiled. He scratched under Smoke's chin, hand on the kitten's stomach. He enjoyed playing with the kitten, that was obvious. He glanced at Nik, patting his head.
"You're smart, for a human~" he complimented.
Smoke dropped the leaf to bat at Derlik's fingers, purring contentedly, tail twitching. Nik glared at him, ducking away from the touch.
group
Derlik wiggled his fingers at Smoke, playing with him happily. He glanced at Nik when he fucked away from the pat. He lifted his red, well manicured finger and flicked Nik in the head. Not enough to leave too much damage, but enough to hurt, and maybe even knock Nik off his feet.
"Obviously, that isn't very smart at all," he chided.
Nik stumbled, barely catching himself from falling. He glared at Derlik, crossing his arms tightly over his chest and clenching his jaw. Smoke kept batting happily at Derlik's fingers.
group
Derlik scratched under Smoke's chin, looking down at Nik and tutting. He took Nik's chin in-between his thumb and forefinger, pulling him forward.
"You're quite stubborn. I like that~"
Nik grimaced, pulling back and away from Derlik's hand. "Let go of me!" he snapped, frowning and grimacing up at Derlik. Smoke meowed a little, purring quietly and batting at Derlik.
group
Derlik pinched Nik's hair, yanking him forward.
"I'll use you however I wish to," Derlik said. He smirked a little. He ruffled the fur on top of Smoke's head lightly, still treating him better than Nik. Maybe if Nik started "behaving," at least in Derlik's eyes, he'd be treated better too.
Nik narrowed his eyes, yelping in pain when his hair was yanked on. "That hurt!" he yelped, glaring up at Derlik. Smoke batted at Derlik's fingers, nipping at his fingertips.
group
"Awh, I had no idea," Derlik said, voice dripping with sarcasm. He picked Nik up by the back of his shirt, rolling his eyes.
"You're clueless…" He continued to play with Smoke, looking down at him with a softer smile.
Nik squirmed again, tugging at the shirt. "Put me down!" he demanded, still glaring at Derlik. Smoke purred happily as Derlik played with him.
(human Smoke not understanding why Nik doesn't like Derlik because Derlik has always been kind to him)
group
(mhm that's the goal XD)
Derlik raised an eyebrow at Nik. Instead of putting Nik down on the ground, he put the mortal on his lap. He hummed a little, now using both hands to basically shower Smoke in affection.
(XD)
Nik grimaced, shifting around and unsure what to do now. Smoke purred louder, tail flicking back and forth as he batted and nipped Derlik's fingers.
group
Derlik picked Smoke up at this point, holding the kitten close as he played with him. He glanced at Nik.
"Are you going to start cooperating?" He asked.
(gtg soon by the way)
Nik grimaced, but didn't otherwise respond, glaring up at Derlik. Smoke kept purring, batting at Nik's fingers.
group
(ah, okay then! Me too lol)
Derlik sighed.
"You know, you'll be treated a lot better if you did. But, I suppose we'll have to do this the hard way then." He was treating the kitten very well…
(lol goodnight!)
Nik clenched his hands into fists, looking away and still not verbally replying. Smoke meowed quietly, still purring up at Derlik.
