003rd Promotion ♛ Tell me your wish

[Today's dream starts with darkness and emptiness, deep and wide, you may not even realize that you're dreaming, or even have a real sense of self and time. For the longest instant in the whole eternity, there's nothing but darkness and void around and inside of you. And then, swirling from the far distance, the tones of the keys of a piano start to reach your ears, drip by drip, coming closer and yet remaining distant at the same time. New instruments join the tune and soon the velvet-like sound of a woman's voice finishes the birth of the song that seems to echo inside of you as much as around you.

And yet, there's still darkness and void despite the music that fills you now. Or is there?]

Welcome, to the Crimson Room.

[A man's voice welcomes you, easily and naturally as if he has been awaiting for you. And it's then that you realize that you most likely had your eyes closed, no wonder you couldn't see anything. Opening them will introduce you to a big and wide room colored in red shades, without doubt this must be the "Crimson Room" you were welcomed to. The music still reaches your ears, however no matter where you look, there's no one playing or singing, the doors are firmly closed and so are the windows that show nothing but a golden mist on the other side of the crystal, so thick that it's simply impossible to see anything of the outside.

You're not alone in the room, though. In the center of it lays a couch that doesn't have anything to envy to the thrones of kings and queens of the past, and sitting on it, is Primo, dressed in a red coat like always, relaxedly and naturally. This is his realm after all. He doesn't look at his guest, though, instead his attention is on a letter he holds in one hand, written on the most white paper you have ever seen, whatever is written on it seems to be done in a mixture of purple and golden ink. And the wizard reads the letter with an amused and interested smile on his lips. When he talks it's hard to tell if it's for his guest or just for himself as he keeps looking at the letter rather than at the person there with him.]

It seems you have just arrived at the perfect time. Right now I've been invited to a simple game of collecting successes in the form of fulfilled wishes. I don't normally use my powers carelessly like this, but I feel in a good mood today so I suppose I may grant you a request if you ask for it.

I'm Primo, the Wizard of Destiny. Don't be fooled by my title, though, I don't settle a destiny, instead I destroy them, it's my specialty. But you don't have to sacrifice your destiny for a wish from me today. Even just a wish for a life supply of cake will suffice, there's nothing I can't do. But I will warn you, nothing comes for free, even if I have no desire for a personal gain, neither will ask for a price, magic requires one to be paid. The greater the wish, the greater the payment you will have to make, it may not be done immediately, though, it might not happen until many years have passed. But it will happen.

So, tell me. What wish would you like me to grant you? Don't be shy, ask anything your heart desires. Just remember to be careful with what you wish.

((ooc: That's right, this is a dream based on this month's theme! But with a twist, instead of Primo's wishes going wrong, he will be granting wishes and at the same time making them go wrong at some point. Feel free to have your char ask the most outrageous things, with both the dream natural magic and Primo's (very real) magic there's nothing impossible!))

[Well, that makes the tone change as he sighs, almost as if he was bored.]

I'm your boyfriend, or that's what I think we should be now at the very least, as such I would like to think that I don't need to use tricks and cheats to have my girlfriend take the next step with me whenever I decide I want to consider it.

Wishes don't work that way, at least not the ones I concede. I have no interest in gaining anything from others' wishes. I have my own wishes to fulfill unlike others, the price for the wish will be decided my magic itself, no rules, no boundaries. Because of that you can ask for anything you want and you'll get it, but the price will be equal to the wish... Right now, if you wished for it, I would defy Bernkastel in every form of her existence and fulfill your wish to be with your family... But knowing the circumstances, it would be with you being a kid again and going to the reunion with everyone else and dying, or have them all survive only for you all to be killed later on or lead an even sadder life than what you would have ever had or imagined. Not to mention it would most likely erase your memories of me even in dreams.

... I know you wouldn't do something like that that way. It wasn't meant seriously. [ Her tone softens just a little. She trusts him, after all, and.. well, he's right, he is her boyfriend right now, what other name could there be given to it? It's pretty obvious, and both of them already said they love each other. And she wouldn't date a guy she didn't trust with that.

At the next part she gets silent for a bit, as if she's thinking about what he's telling her. ]

Yeah, that's why I don't want to make a wish like that. Even if it's you granting it. [ He doesn't exactly decide the price either way. ] No matter if I wish for that, it'll probably just end badly.. it's better to just not trust wishes that come with a price like that.

[ She takes a few steps towards the couch - towards him. ]

And I definitely don't want to forget about you. Not for anything.

Yes... You should have learned about making a wish like that already.

[But it's a fact that she made that wish once, didn't she? Or a similar one at least. And even now she's still making wishes about it. On the other hand, though, those wishes allowed them to meet before and allowed him to exist. Without her he would have been very different even if still a wizard.

He raises a hand, stretching it towards her, inviting her to take it.]

I wouldn't allow you to forget me anyway. Not after I found you already and got this far.

You've already dealt enough with Anges that don't know you. I don't particularly feel like adding one to that.

[ She takes the hand practically without much hesitation or thought about it, almost more as if out of instinct. She only can see him during these moments, after all, in dreams, so for as long as it lasts she would like to be as close to him as possible.

There's a small smile on her face. ]

So.. don't worry. I won't forget about you. If some sort of magic would make me, I'd fight it as much as I could.

[He pulls her in the moment she takes his hand, trying to make her fall in his arms, on his lap while he's still sitting.]

That's reassuring. But given that not even returning from Luceti made you forget about me I suppose there's no need to worry about that.

[ She just lets him, really - she already has her guard down around him in general since she trusts him, so it's not difficult to pull her in. She does fall there, even if she tries to soften her fall at the end so she doesn't land on him too hard. But yes, this is perfect, she doesn't mind being here. Nope siree, she could dream about this for quite some time without minding it. ]

There was no way I could forget about that, even if I was outside of Luceti. [ She never wanted to lose those memories after all, since.. even if she never explicitly got to tell him, she did love Keiichi even back there already. And since she has Primo here now and she was able to tell him, the memories serve a good purpose. She snuggles up to him a little bit. ]

Without you everything would have been different, after all.

[ If Keiichi wouldn't have gone looking for her that day after she got stuck with Bernkastel during the experiment, if he hadn't found her.. ]

[His arms are quick to embrace her, pulling her as closer to him as possible as his lips search for hers in a kiss. No matter how much she's his now, his kisses will probably forever hold an edge of desperation and need, result of a consciousness going on without her for hundreds of years.]

Then we really are similar. If I hadn't met you I know I wouldn't have been better than Bernkastel and the others when I became a wizard. There would have been only hate and regrets for me to take as luggage, not even friendship would have weighted enough to keep me sane.

I'm far from perfect, but I never was to begin with.

[So this is okay. And her accepting his feelings and answering them is even better medicine for his humanity.]

[ There's multiple sides to those kisses - she does kiss him back, maybe even slightly eagerly, she misses him while she's awake, after all. But the desperation in it reminds her too much of how he's been waiting for her, waiting so long, and it makes guilt spread through her mind. But that also makes her more determined to make up for it, to make sure he won't have to suffer on his own again. She's here for him, and she will be here for him as much as she can, so.. There's a thin smile after the kiss ends and she listens to him speak. ]

It's okay. You don't ever have to become like Bernkastel and all those other witches. [ The very thought of him being like that is awful to her - partially in thinking how she would deal with that, and partially because she doesn't want him to have to be that way. ] I'll be here to remind you always that you aren't just a wizard. At least not in the same way the others are.

[ To keep reminding him of his humanity, too - those moments when she can see the blue behind the gold in his eyes, those moments he speaks just the way Keiichi would have, those only encourage her more. She won't let him slip away. ]

It would be my defeat if I ever became like them now, and it would make everything I've done so far pointless. Both the sacrifices I made and the sacrifices I allowed to happen.

[A hand casually and naturally drops down her body to rest on her thigh for a moment before it decides it doesn't like it there after all and slips under her skirt to rest on her thigh again. Apparently that's must better and it doesn't move from there.]

Then it's not a problem, right? I won't allow you to forget about your humanity too as long as I'm he--

[ For a moment she stops in the middle of her sentence when she feels that hand moving from her thigh to go and make its way under her skirt, and her face lights up slightly with a faint blush. Her tsun instinct almost kicks in, almost, but.. no, this isn't a problem, right? She loves him, so he can do this much. If it was Amakusa she definitely would have kicked him six ways to hell, but.. Primo is her boyfriend. So even if it's a strange and almost slightly embarassing feeling, it isn't bad.

... She completely forgets to speak on, though. ]

[Even if he wanted he wouldn't have been able to stop the smile from spreading in his face. It's a wide and open smile, maybe a bit cruel or evil hinted but also honestly happy and lovingly. It could be described only as the wide smile of a puppy-in-love who is feeling rather mischievous. And mischief he does as the fingers of his hand resting on her thigh, skin against skin under the skirt, drum lightly before circling a bit in a caressing motion. They don't move from where they are though, it's as if they are glued there, but it may seem as if they would like to move and go further.

One day it will happen, one day he will want to go further, no matter if it's just a dream for her, one day it will be her reality as he won't allow her to remain locked in that world. There are many other Anges for that. One day she will reach the end of her journey and life and he will reclaim her for himself, he will bring her here and they will live on until the rest of his goals are achieved and then... It's hard to say what will happen then, even if he has ideas he won't mention them. It's still a long way away after all. Today isn't that day, today he's fine with just a light touch and having her in his arms, he's satisfied with kisses and with having those eyes on him, returning all the love he has for her.

But that doesn't mean he can't troll her a bit and tease her. Specially when she answers so deliciously. His lips find her ear, kissing it and actually daring to nibble it lightly before he whispers amusedly.]

Don't forget how to speak now, Ange-chan.

[ He knows how to tease her in just the right way, knows just how to push her buttons. She still can't ignore the feeling of his fingers on her bare skin, especially not when he starts circling there. Not to mention him nibbling on her ear like that, and.. the red on her face starts spreading. She feels embarassed, but not really in a bad way per se, considering she doesn't want to stop being this close to him even for a moment, right now. It's almost torture, the fighting this causes against her more tsun side and the part of her that just wants to give in to the love for now, but it's a sweet kind of torture that she doesn't really want to stop. ]

I know how to speak. [ But even in her reply, in the very tone, her embarassment is audible. And she moves her face to find his lips once more, kissing them directly only to pull away a moment later to keep hovering close to his face. ]

It's just that.. you make it difficult.

[He knows her. Even if she's unique among all the Anges, she's still very similar to all of them and he has had a long time to think of her. He has had a long time to search for her, watch over other Anges and think about her, what this Ange does here, would his Ange do it? Would his Ange like what this other Ange likes as well? It has been a very long time of being virtually focused on her, always on her, it shouldn't be a surprise that he knows her buttons better than she does, as well as where the limits are. He kisses back happily, making a humming noise of appreciation. When the kiss ends he twists his head to nest it against her shoulder and her neck.]

I'm so sorry.

[He's not and the fingers keep teasing her lightly.]

Maybe it would be better if we just sat apart?

[ She knows he's not. It's easy to guess that much from the context and tone, either way, but.. exactly since he's keeping up the teasing part of her doesn't feel like giving in that easily. So when he says that last part, she does actually move her upper body back a little - making his head lose its support too - as if she's moving to leave. But she's not actually leaving her spot on his lap, not by far. ]

Well, if you're just going to suggest it like that.. [ Her tone is casual, close to her usual deadpan. But it's still easy enough to guess that she doesn't actually mean it, it's just revenge, okay. She won't let people (always) get away with teasing her without enduring something in return. ]

[Don't challenge Primo, Ange. He won't let you win like Keiichi used to. He looks at her face for a moment as his head loses its support, before his eyes flash in gold and a cruel smile comes to his lips.]

If that's how it's going to be...

[Those are his domains, Ange is a witch herself but her powers aren't trained nor properly matured, still there's probably a chance that she can stop him from teleporting her to a seat across the room. If not she'll find herself there, alone and with Primo at the other side of the room.]

I won't let you say I'm the kind of boyfriend who doesn't listen to his girlfriend's wishes. Even if they hurt him.

[And he crosses his legs apparently having no problems with the current situation. Really, he has gone through hundreds of years without her, does she think she can pull off a "I'll go away" as revenge?]

[ DARNIT, PRIMO. Apparently she can never win. Because of course Ange can't compete with him magic-wise, she's barely had any sort of training with it other than what she did with Maria and her own slightly potential as the Witch of Resurrection she managed to muster up in reviving Sakutaro. So in a moment she's on the other side of the room instead, blinking curiously as it slowly dawns upon her what happened. And then he just has to add that sentence of his as well too.

See, she's stubborn enough to just sit here and wait, refusing to be the one who gives in first and go back to him. Seriously, Primo should know how good Ange is at ruining her own happiness by now. The only part that makes something nag at her is that last part - 'even if they hurt him'.. Of course she doesn't want to hurt him. And he's the one who teleported her away as some lame sort of joke, so in the end it's him hurting himself, but still.. it does hurt.

Ange stubbornly draws her feet up on the seat as well, putting her arms around her knees to hold them. There, she's just going to sit here like that like some kind of stubborn kid. Have it your way, Primo. :| ]

[She's the one who started to leave. But again she underestimates Primo's endurance to pain and lack of her.

He remains where he is, apparently unaffected, looking at her with a bored expression. When she pulls up her legs he arches an eyebrow as in saying "Seriously?" but actually he's just surprised because... Well, that's giving him quite a good free show of her panties. Now the question is... Does she know or is that fact slipping from her mind?

He's just going to sit there and enjoy the view for now.]

[ It was a joke, it's not like she would ever actually want to leave him when she loves him this much, okay. Don't take it so literally!

And it's the latter option, really, she doesn't even realise he can see. The only other person she's used to being around regularly is Amakusa and she's much, much more guarded with this sort of thing around him, but when she's with Primo, who she loves, she drops the guard. So she really doesn't realise.. although maybe she wouldn't mind as much if it was him.

But Ange is stubborn too, so she still isn't speaking up - instead she just quietly seems to be contemplating something to herself, not even looking at him. ]

Mmm, white and plain. I like it.

[Don't mind the wizard talking to himself and looking at you with a very pleased smirk. His eyes flash for a second before his smile grows, showing white teeth.]

But as I thought, the view is even better when that's not in the way.

[And he holds up for her to see if she dares to look at him, an exact replica of her panties. It's just a replica though, he could have tried to do it for real but he doesn't want to upset her that much.]

[ ... Huh? She doesn't even realise what he's talking about at first, considering she didn't realise she was showing off her panties like this. It doesn't hit her until she sees what's in his hands, and for a moment actual surprise shows up on her face, and she moves to sit down normally-- ... but of course, she still has her panties on. Just a stupid joke, and she got all worked up over it for a moment. Her face starts to flush easily. ]

A-.. ah, what do you think you're doing? That joke isn't even funny..!

Oh? Would you have preferred if I did it for real? I can still do it if you want.

[Blinking and smiling innocently.]

Though if it's about removing your panties I think I would prefer to do it the old and human way, without magic.

[He practically has an angel halo above his head. So innocent and cute.]

[ Now you've done it. Ange walks back over to the couch, completely forgetting about the fact she was too stubborn to do so earlier - this is taking priority right now, after he mentioned something that embarassing. She stops right in front of him, putting her hands on the back of the couch so she can lean on that as she leans forward towards him. ]

I might start considering something like that sometime in the future without lame jokes.

[ It's not said harshly though, despite the slight remains of the blush left on her face - all in all it's already bold enough to say something like this for her. But she loves him, she really does, and even if the thought still manages to fluster her now she's sure there's no one else she would want to do something like that to her and what would follow naturally. ]

... Got it?

[He looks at her seriously, not flinching or moving at all even as she leans forward towards him, hands holding her against the back of the couch. He listens with an expression that could only be described as bored. even as she says those words and the hints of a blush still tint her cheeks.]

Yeah. I guess I've got it.

[He replies in a lazy tone, not really interested.

Until a wide smile breaks his face and his hands fly to grab her waist and pull her into his lap once more. He eyes gleam in an almost predatory way which would probably be something to worry about in a wizard except because... They are flooding with love and adoration at the same time, and there's a blue tint circling the gold of his eyes.]

I got all of you, my lovely Ange.

[By the way, this counts as his victory since she went to him. Score!]

[ It will probably always be his victory, sob.. but yes, enjoy it for now. 8|

It's not like she minds being this close to him again, either way, even if for a moment worry rose in her heart when he was looking that disinterested-- but no, it was just a joke, she can see it in the way he starts to smile instead when he grabs her. And then there's that familiar blue to make it even better, since she nows that's a good thing. A reminder of his humanity. That what she can't have him lose no matter what, what she has to make sure to remind him of if the time would ever come that he can't do it himself. To make sure he remembers he's not like those witches, no matter what. ]

... Hmm. I'm all yours. [ And she means it genuinely, a tiny and thin smile even appearing on her face as she says it and leans against him. ]

Just as I'm yours. For the whole eternity and beyond.

[His voice is just a whisper, just for her as he embraces her lovingly, kissing her longingly and lazily. Still desperate but without any hurry, taking his time to enjoy it all. Determined to give her as much love and affection as time allows him to. Determined to make her so happy and satisfied right now that when she wakes up she won't be able to erase from her face a glow of happiness even if she doesn't smile, just so the man that accompanies her can see her glowing in happiness and wonder who is the responsible of it.]
