Arthur flinched, trembling fearfully.
You'll See Just How Crazy I Can Be (rp with Icefire, feel free to stalk!)
group
This, this was how Derlik wanted Arthur to be. To be afraid, even when Derlik was treating him 'kindly.' To dread every moment of his life, to know that no matter what he will be hurt. That he will know some semblance of how hurt Nik has been.
Arthur let out another soft moan of pain, his broken, battered body too broken to really even move.
group
Derlik looked down at Arthur for a moment. Then, he moved his hand over the man. Knitting his body back together. Would he try to run? Or would he know enough to keep quiet and behave? This would be interesting indeed…
Arthur shuddered as his body was repaired, and his eyes flashed around, uncertain whether to stay or run.
(ooh idea: Nik has a nightmare that night bc of running into the ex, and Derlik ends up comforting him? And we get after-nightmare snuggles because Nik is just so desperate for a gentle touch that he doesn't care who it's coming from?)
group
(:0 I love it let's do it)
Derlik watched Arthur lazily, head tilting some. A dare, almost. Go ahead, run. See how far I let you get. Maybe I'll let you go.
(:D perfect!)
Arthur pushed himself up into a standing position, eyes still flickering around.
group
Derlik leaned over just slightly, looking Arthur in the eye. He didn't say a word, just smiled at him calmly.
Arthur took a step back, to see what Derlik would do.
group
Derlik's eyes flickered, but he didn't move to pull Arthur back.
Arthur took another few steps away, still waiting to see what Derlik would do.
group
Derlik's smile grew, waiting. Waiting for the moment Arthur pushed too much. The god rested his chin in his hand, staring down at him.
Arthur started to run as fast as he could.
group
Derlik watched Arthur run across the boulder, looking like he wouldn't do anything. Then, he snaked his hand out to snatch the small human up right as he reached the edge to climb down. He pulled them back up to look at them, holding back a sadistic chuckle.
Arthur was shaking again, struggling in Derlik's hands. "Put me down!"
group
Derlik covered the man's mouth with his thumb, just smiling that wicked smile still. Then, he glanced over to make sure Nik hadn't heard.
Nik hadn't moved, still curled in a ball. Arthur bit Derlik's thumb.
group
Derlik looked back to Arthur, scowling some.
"How rude," he mumbled. He pulled his thumb away, starting to bend the man's back all the wrong way.
Arthur screamed, eyes squeezing shut. "Stop! Stop, please!" he begged as his back made alarming cracking sounds.
group
"Quiet," Derlik said calmly. "Will you bite me again?"
He whimpered, shaking his head desperately. "N-no! Please stop!"
group
Derlik let go of Arthur then, letting him lean forward.
"Behave, won't you?"
Arthur let out a whine of pain, trembling.
group
Derlik set Arthur on his palm, holding him up to eye level.
"When will you learn?" the god said softly.
Arthur glared at him.
group
Derlik raised an eyebrow, moving to take the man's torso in his fingers again in a threat to go back to bending him the wrong way.
"No! No no no please no." He protested.
group
"Will you behave?" Derlik asked, not letting go yet.
He whined faintly.
group
"That's not an answer." Derlik pushed back some- not enough to cause new damage, but enough to affect the bones already broken.
