I'd be in fucking hysterics, aegiya.

[Rosso is already pretty much in hysterics doubled over laughing as he is, but maybe there's a way to make him laugh so hard he cries? Who knows. Such a shame that Adrian can't eat the eyeball lemon... such a shame that they can't turn around and go back to Elrianode so Rosso can say "try Denif's cooking" and smile like :) while Adrian gags on it.

When he's done fucking dying, Rosso steps back over to Adrian and plucks the fruit from his hand, tossing it aside unceremoniously, where it will soon despawn like the other half.]


Come on. Unless you can think of anything else weird you wanted to see, I think its your turn.

[On the simulation, he means. Show him Perovskia you coward—]

[Ah, the woods. A less purple-blue variant of the woods, but the woods nonetheless. This forest feels a lot safer than the one in Varnimyr proper, maybe because it's bright and green instead of dark and lit only by ominously-glowing plants. That, and the looming kingdom tells him that this place is probably somewhat protected from The Horrors.

Regardless...

The treehouse is wholly unsurprising. Rosso has a "no wonder" moment as he looks up at it, shading his eyes from the sun with his hand.]


This your old place?

[...ah, yeah. Rosso, in his Default Appearance (and, frankly, anywhere within the peninsula proper) does look rather wealthy and ostentatious. The bolero and corset do not help with this, this man clearly comes from Money (government-given) and clearly does not live in the woods (hair too shiny for that). The other thing, too, is that he's really just... like, not great with kids. Like, Laby is this kid's same age based on visuals, and Rosso's definitely dropped all manner of curse words in front of her (to the chagrin of Gaia) and has told her to go away on several occasions. Elrian kids are built different.

This is just... a little guy. A little guy who Rosso's currently in the home of, taking up space and sitting watching the sunset like he belongs here. Uh.

Hm.]


Hey, kiddo. I'm not from the kingdom, and I'm not gonna hurt either of you. Believe it or not, I'm Adri's... friend. Bet you didn't know he could make those.

[Always with the jabs, Rosso, jeez.]

[Because he's gay—

There are two answers to this. For this current outfit, it's just how all the Masters dressed, which Adrian saw first-hand, though Rosso's fond of the style (because he's gay) and adopted it pretty easily into his wardrobe. The other answer is the one he actually gives with a shrug.]


I like looking nice. I'll freak the fu— heck— out if my hair isn't washed.

[He's trying so hard not to teach simulation-Misha the fuck word. Has Adrian already taught him the fuck word? Fuck—]

Clothes and the sort are important to me. When I was your age, I had no control over any of that 'cause the adults in my life weren't keen on letting me do anything that wasn't up to their standard.

[Oh yeah, this kid is basically just Laby but turquoise. Sounds like Misha already has a hint of cussing in his blood, but Rosso's going to try not to make that worse. Assuming it's not... already a problem sometimes.

Adrian trying so hard to raise this kid, to tell him what to do and how not to talk, to try to get him to grow up proper... it's all cute as hell. Despite the Disturbance in the force he can feel from Adrian right now, Rosso leans against him, taking a slow moment to impulsively kiss Adrian's cheek and look at him like the guy put all the stars in the sky. Surely this will not spark disgusted little kid noises—]


If you don't wash your hair, bugs are gonna live in it, and then they're gonna eat your hair and you're gonna be bald. [He says this with such confidence.] You only get to do whatever you want if you take care of your health first.

[Adrian is... very much not taking this well. Rosso gets it. He knows what happened to his idiots — Ebalon fucked right off, Solace and Harnier are in Elysion, and the others just live in the Tower like old times. They're all fine, last Rosso left them, and so he's a lot less saddened by paying visits in the Cube. Still upset, yes, still wistful and missing those dumbasses every day... but they're fine. And they'll be fine without him back home to screw things up.

Adrian doesn't know what happened to Misha, or anyone else he ever loved for that matter, so it's... a lot different. Probably. Rosso thinks it is, anyway, given the forlorn energy he can feel coming off of Adrian in waves. The kid was fucking dying, and Adrian gave him up and was prepared to rot in prison forever. It's easy to speculate. Hard to find an actual answer.

He rests his head on Adrian's shoulder as silent reassurance. Rosso won't force him to shut the simulation off until he's ready, but he hopes Adrian realises that he can stop at any time.

For now...]


You ever been on an adventure, kid? [Here, Rosso cards his hands through Misha's hair, fluffing it up. While his hand passes easily through the strands and they do properly ruffle, Rosso feels absolutely nothing, just like when he'd tried to step on Ventus's foot earlier.] You're gonna bathe in lakes and spend more hours setting up camp and hunting for food than you think. It's not all finding cool sh....stuff in the woods.

And I'm being serious about the bugs. They're called head lice and they'll make you itchy as all h...eck.

[Ew. Ticks.]

Better grow those legs fast, kid. Adrian's pretty much all leg.

[Rosso can't say normal things like... make sure you eat your vegetables, remember to get eight hours of sleep, or whatever other shit doctors say, because these two don't have that. It wouldn't be nice to remind them of all the shit they don't have.

Conspiratorially, Rosso leans in to whisper to Misha, loud enough for Adrian to hear:]


If you need a lift to win, high heels are completely valid. He probably can't walk in them, so you'll have a literal leg up.

[He sits back up. Looks at Adrian. Grins. Look how helpful he is, aren't you glad you brought him to the treehouse?]

[Rosso snuggles in closer at that. Any further and he'll be fighting Misha for lap-space.]

Keep that fire in your chest, kid. It's good for you. And when you get outta here, remember to stop and help the little people along the way.

[Rosso never had to steal to survive. His survival was, however unfortunate at the time, guaranteed because his clan needed the perfect Fire Master. He never learnt to need things because it was all just handed to him; becoming a Master meant getting whatever he wanted at the cost of basically being enslaved to stare at the El all day. If he went out on a field mission for any reason at all, he had plenty of money or reason to say "just give me stuff" by title alone.

Helping the little people was something he did on the way, if he could. It made sense for him then because he had the money and authority to say something. Misha and Adrian are a lot different from that...

...and then he doesn't know why he's thinking about this so hard, it's a fucking simulation good god—]


Stay humble, though. You don't wanna end up like me. I brag too damn much for my own good.
flammadecinis: (059)

[personal profile] flammadecinis 2023-02-12 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
He's a good kid. ...and you're a good person for helping him.

[Rosso has no idea how to describe it, but it's just... endearing, somehow, that Adrian's so fond of the kid. Kind enough to stick his neck out for someone in need. It's an important thing to him, to be able to do that — reminds him a lot of what Lebio wanted to do before his untimely demise at Rosso's hands.

If Rosso starts nuzzling against Adrian, shut up, no he doesn't. He's just charmed and gay, big fucking deal.]


You gave him something where he would've had nothing. You're the reason he's so energetic, you know. He clearly loves you a lot.

[Rosso doesn't say "you love him too" because he knows how Adrian will act about it, but there's a hint of it in that last statement. Haha you're soft for this kid you fucking nerd loser—]
flammadecinis: (093)

[personal profile] flammadecinis 2023-02-12 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Kids like that are stubborn, you know. He's gonna be fine. And if you don't believe me, I'll give you some very fucking specific examples of that group of kids that's always been fine.

[Not that Rosso knows them too well other than saying "let me die" and one in particular going "no", but still. The tales and rumours don't write themselves.

He places another fluttery kiss to Adrian's cheek. This one lingers longer than the first one, and Rosso thinks, however briefly, that he might trail it to Adrian's lips before slightly backing off. Slightly. His breath still tickles Adrian's cheek as he speaks next.]


I think I like this soft, mushy side to you. It's cute as hell.
flammadecinis: (057)

[personal profile] flammadecinis 2023-02-12 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[And what, get the kid adopted by the El Search Party? They take misfits under their wing like hobbyists collect Warhammer minis.

...

It might be nice, though, because at least Misha would be cared for. It's not Rosso's place to say.]


You can cut the simulation whenever you want, aegiya. I'll leave it up to you.

[Normally Rosso would say "we can sit here all day and make out" (he would not say this) (he'd just do it) but that's kind of hard with a kid on Adrian's lap. Don't swap spit in front of the child, y'all.]

If I do meet Misha for real, by the way, I'm gonna tell him that you're a big soft-hearted idiot. Better be prepared to kill me in one shot.
flammadecinis: (087)

[personal profile] flammadecinis 2023-02-12 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm harder to hit than you think. You're gonna have to catch me off-guard.

[Whoops, Rosso's stealing another kiss, this one more chaste and quick than the others have been.]

I was hoping he'd remember me more as "the guy that unveiled Adrian's soft side", or maybe "the guy that kicked Adrian's ass", honestly.
flammadecinis: (056)

[personal profile] flammadecinis 2023-02-12 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm... someone's gotta put you in your place.

[kiss kiss kiss— fucking gross, honestly, you two need to get a Different room. One not in a simulation room with a simulation-Misha.]

You think I'm gonna stand there while you try and oneshot me? Absolutely not. I'm gonna make it a pain in your ass.
