"Heh." This Guy's Got Some Bite To Him. He Could Appreciate That. If He Weren't So Annoying Right Now,

@silverfates asked: "Were you being nice or sarcastic?" (-Lorenz)

"Bwahaha! The first one, of course!" There was no need to be sarcastic right now, even if he sounded like it half the time.

"I think your outfit suits ya. No lies here."

before i forget to upload this something silly (ft @gnzma )

@punkbites // Continued;

"Funny? I ain't no clownfish now, am I?"

He doesn't like this guy's attitude right now. Cheekfins flare up a little at the accusatory point in his direction, but he doesn't make much more of a move other than that.

"...Might take a bit."

Not a lie. He heals incredibly slow. Most merfolk do.

"I'll pay y'all back somehow fer this. Promise." That might have come out wrong. "In a positive way, I mean."

"Why's everyone pickin' fights with me today."

he flares out and/or wiggles his cheek fins when he gets upsetti...

@nolongeraqualeader and i are cooking

"An hour or two? Think ya can manage that?"

Man, this is the most fun he's had the past few days (being stuck in a room was so fucking boring).

"Reasonable, yeah? An' don't go runnin' from me. That's no' fair." He grins wide, razor sharp teeth clearly visible.

"How 'bout we get to know each other a li'l bit? I feel like chattin'. Maybe I'll answer yer questions if yer extra nice."

@nolongeraqualeader

"Double dog dare ya t'be nice t'me." He's smirking like a lil jerk right now. [ funny dares ; ACCEPTING ]

OH THIS MOTHERFUCKER.

"How long."

He's grumbling-- nah, that was straight up a growl.

"Give me a time limit. And if ya try to go for double digits hours I'm throwin' ya to the Muk pool."

hey, he didn't say he'd throw him out forever! that's being nice!

Okay, now he's serious. Good.

Archie has to clench his jaw for this one, 'cause fuck it hurts, but he ain't raised no quitter. Still beats most creatures in the depths of the ocean, truthfully.

He can't help but chuckle, before hissing again. Oof. "Alrigh'. Ya can bite, I'll give ya that."

He bites as hard as he can, and yet the guy fucking laughs. Goddddd, whatever. Weird mood over. He's still pissing him off.

Guzma half considers just let go and ignore him, but. Come on. That's a challenge now. He's biting harder.

"Well, that's good. I feel like I hear stories 'bout them fuckin' people up all the time."

Tapu were weird like that. Fickle, as some would say. "I met Jirachi once. Still got the picture 'n everythin'."

“— yeah. That was me.”

It’s always so weird when people know who they are. It’s something that Ree knows that other people know about, but…

“— I only met bulu once. An’ that was by accident mostly. But he didn’t like, hurt me or nothing.”

This wasn't on his bingo card for this week.

After a heated discussion, he had him pinned to the wall-- And they're making out now.

Yeah, this might as well happen. Archie smirks upon the bite, copper taste filling his mouth upon licking the mark.

"...Heh." He pulls Guzma back into the kiss, trying to return the favour of the bitemark, before pulling away briefly. "Nah, fuck you."

Hands press against his throat still, claws digging into skin.

@nolongeraqualeader

a heated kiss while holding them by the throat.

Despite everything, Guzma kept showing up in Archie's room. Call it an attempt of showing off his. Who the fuck knows-- alpha-ness? Remind Archie who's the boss, when all he did was teasing and occasionally get a little too touchy with Plumeria? Fuck's sake-- existing? Who knows. What Guzma knows - both of them, really - is that it was just a matter of time before one of them pushed the other a little too much.

Today it was his turn. A tease too many, he leaned a little too close, and the former Aqua reacted accordingly. Archie's hand found his throat, his own the other's wrist and shirt as they stumbled for a few seconds in a sorry excuse of a wrestling match, one that leads to him falling on the bed and be pressed against the wall (with the hole caused by his punch), and--

--and they're kissing now.

Well, Archie is kissing him, but it doesn't take much for him to return it, groaning as the other's thumb presses against his throat, opening his lips to catch one of Archie's and biting on it to break contact.

"…fuck you."
