[Midlandia] Just One Note

[A series of events occurred which were incredibly important and ultimately life changing.

But frankly her attention span was always rather limited. What really mattered above all else was that she and Nathan were free, and it didn't require Vergil's scolding or leaving the country. They had been adopted into this pack with considerably minimal fuss. They had a roof, food, and a way to get to and from school. The best part was that there was no one to hit her anymore, no more getting thrown left and right into walls or furniture, and Nathan no longer had to hear all the yelling and insults. They could be living in a high class sewer and Nariko would still be happy.

And while she'd made her gratuity very clear to the Alpha she's been otherwise quite normal! Nariko had survived the state of things because she knew how to control herself, how to present properly. So ever since they'd been given their space she'd gone about meeting everyone she could, being both agreeable and fun, while Nathan clung to her side the whole time.

Lately, though, he's been feeling a little more like himself. On this particular day she's sprawled all over the couch while Nathan watches some movie directly in front of her. If she's supposed to give a single crap about her tiny shorts or tank top then ... Actually, no, why would she? It hasn't occurred to Nariko to dress or act differently, especially because there's so many women. Besides, she's kind of idly watching it with him or occasionally toying with her phone, and really she'd practically beg for something fun to do. Ugh.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Nathan looks at Mikado after he's been told shut up, and:] That's definitely not the same. I don't think he wants to be weird with me. [Because that's what this kind of this registers as, for the young kid. In a way he knows exactly what it is, he'd been given the introductory 'girls like boys and sometimes boys like other boys and girls like other girls too everything was fine either' but had the childish understanding that something else existed beyond the precipice of his given knowledge.

And whatever that was? Well, it was probably an awful lot like what was going on with Nariko and Masaomi. He knew that. It was why he kept looking at the TV even if he was a little embarrassed at (and for) them.]

Honestly, boys are so strange. [That's Nariko's comment, but she doesn't seem to mind him getting any closer to her, though she does notably look him up and down. Is she really going to let him ... Maybe he's just teasing her. Wouldn't she be more like a sister to him or something?]

[ Masaomi doesn't even register that she somehow wouldn't have been raised in some other pack before coming here. Sure, he might've had it explained once or twice, but it couldn't possibly sink into a boy who had only known this life the whole time. As far as he knew, she had been in some bad situation, whatever pack she was in dissolved or they just needed to leave it, and they ended up here. No more, and no less.

Well, other than maybe what's up with their father (or whatever other guardian brought them here, if any) but that wasn't his purview. He huffs, and then takes two long steps over toward Nariko, getting up in front of her, bowing, inhaling to see if her scent is coming off her at all, and offers his hand to her ]

Well, if I'm to be the jester, what name would Nari-Nari-chan actually prefer?

[ Mikado, meanwhile, is just rolling his eyes and trying to watch Nathan's program, his face flushed a little himself. He laughs at Nathan's commentary though. ]

[Either way it seems ... Not stupid, but wouldn't she be doing something wrong by letting him feel her up or whatever? Vergil had told her not to let anyone 'get fresh' with her and that had sounded straight out of some decade that Nariko would never know, and she had kind of balked at it but now ... If it got her and Nathan kicked out.

If it lead to that then even with her incredibly sweet scent drifting out in her immediate vicinity she couldn't really let him do anything meaningful. Doomed before he even really started. She takes his hand anyway and for a second or two there, she just holds it. It's nice, being able to touch someone else, she's always like it.

And it really sucks, but that's the moment she decides it'd be okay if he tried to kiss her. But Nariko kind of yanks him off to the side, so that he might land on the couch beside her. Whether he lands gracefully or not isn't any of her concern.]

I like the name you've picked just fine!

[ Hey-! He yelps a little at being tugged, not being able to see any of her inner turmoil. But while he was thrown a bit by being tossed like that, he rebounds just as quick. Something Masaomi had in spades was physical balance, being able to walk or jump one footed across a balance beam if he needed to. So he actually does land with more grace next to her than his face implies, going a bit wide at being tugged like that. And seeing that Mikado has glanced over his shoulder curiously at them, because this is more interesting than Nathan's movie or whatever the hell. Even if he also feels rude for that. ]

Nari-Nari-chan it is then!

[What the hell, man! He even managed to be a little cool through that, too! What a jerky, seahorse guy. But it's sort of endearing that he just. Doesn't really give up no matter what she does. Is he not getting the hint or is she not being clear enough? Though, come to think of it, Nariko's not entirely sure of her own angle yet either so maybe a little confusion is to be expected. She is radiating her scent a bit but she's also a tad cautious.]

I feel like I should call you Masa-Masa now, just to match. It sounds like something an overly sappy couple might call each other.

[ Hah. ] As long as my man Mikado doesn't become Mika-Mika, he might not ever live down that step from Emperor.

[ From the peanut gallery - ] Masaomi, leave me and Nathan out of this!

[ And Masaomi bursts out laughing, mostly at his own joke, but also from Mikado's almost defensive reaction. Also, an overly sappy couple, huh...? He's not sure if he's about that life or not, but he pushes things all the same. Her scent gives him a green light of sorts, and the young man, now next to her on the couch, leans in and plants a short peck on her lips, lingering there after ]

Oh, so maybe you should go out with me?

[ and Mikado whispers, loud enough for everyone to hear: ] Don't bother...

[ Even if, scent wise, Mikado was also clearly getting turned on a little ]

[He just - he just kissed her! With absolutely no warning! And in front of her brother!! She stares kind of blankly, as if this was her first time with any bit of attention. What a jerk! An asshole! SHE SHOULD PUNCH HIM! But she won't. It wouldn't be convincing anyway since her heart is beating at a horrid, aching pace and even though she's kind of upset with him she's edging closer and closer to full blown arousal with nearly every second.]

I should go out with Mikado since he's more my type!

[She's being bratty and ridiculous right now because it's Masaomi who flustered her so much. He made her look stupid (in her eyes) and she loathes it.

But he actually is kind of cute and it's just!! It's fucking annoying in the way that makes her want to kiss him herself. But if she can bother him a little before then? All the better.]

Really?!

[ The two brothers say it in unison. (and poor Nathan, Mikado actually stands up at that, looking eager and releasing his own scent to the room, flushed. And then the blue eyed boy hangs his head, unable to actually face her directly like that, even if she did give the go-ahead. Maybe she was... no, she was definitely just joking.

Masaomi looks surprised, but he might actually be playing with her a little, looking from her to Mikado to Nathan. And then back to her, brushing his fingers on his lips ]

[What is she supposed to be more surprised at, that none of this went the way she envisioned or that Mikado got up so excitedly as if he actually thought she was cute or something? For a second there everyone in the room but Nathan is surprised and Nariko kind of stares at Mikado questioningly. But then he flushes and looks away from her so that's ... Kind of unfortunate.

Ultimately it's Nathan who breaks the stalemate.] I have homework to finish!

[He does, actually, but it's still kind of annoying that they're all being strange. Nathan makes his way to the stairs while Nariko remains on the couch, frustratingly unsure of herself.]

... Well, at least we can stop watching whatever this is. [She doesn't - what does she do here. Does Mikado not think she's cute? Why did Masaomi even kiss her? Is this 'getting fresh'? What is going on.]

Edited 2015-12-04 02:51 (UTC)

[ ... What should he do here? ... ]

You know, if you're serious, you should let Mikado kiss you. Dude doesn't have my game.

[ And Mikado actually looks frustrated, looking up, even though he's totally red in the face- ]

You guys scared off Nathan-kun! Come on!

[ But he clearly did think Nariko was cute, or he wouldn't be such a mess and be so wary of getting closer to her like this. And Masaomi didn't need to give him a solid like this... that's just cruel man :T ]

[What the hellllll!!!!]

I-I can't! I can't kiss either of you! That's going to get me in trouble or something!

[And if that happened then where was she supposed to go? What could she do? While it's not quite the truth this feels like the last stop she has for she and her brother. The last thing she needs to do is screw it up like usual.

... But she still can't help asking Masaomi.]

Why do you want me to kiss him when you're the one that did it to me?

[It doesn't make any sense to her.]

Because he's a my bro, and if you like him, then whatever?

[ He shrugs, not sure what her problem here is. ... But Mikado, who is the more sensitive and somewhat more reasonable one here (even if he's shier) walks slowly towards them both, trying ti parse out what her fears here are- ] Um... Nari--- Lunae-san?

Nariko-san? You won't get in trouble for that-- why... would you think you would?

[ And Masapmi looks over at him. What? ]

[Oh, Mikado's the really observant one, isn't he? She'll have to watch out for that in the future but right now there's no helping it.] Because. [That's not really a reason, so she tries again.] Because someone will get mad at me, like your moms or the Alpha or someone, and then I'll have to go and there's nowhere else to go. I can't get us kicked out of here.

[There's a little bit of paranoia in her voice, like the idea itself is so immediate and looming that she feels it weighing down on her.] Not even for cute boys.

[Which really sucks because she does happen to like them quite a bit when they weren't being entirely stupid. She likes kissing and the weird brand of actions that she's deemed as flirting.]

[ Um... ] Ettoo... why would you be kicked out for that? ... Who would even get mad?

[ That's Masaomi's response, a sort of confused attempt to center her into something more approaching reality. Mikado, meanwhile, flushes something bad again at being called cute. And then, more out of nervous habit than anything, he reaches into his pocket and pulls out his glasses, putting them on. He only needs them for reading or close up work, so he doesn't need to wear them, but he puts them on to center himself as he thus says, with more force than you'd expect behind it

(which makes Masaomi say "damn boy" under his breath) ]

Our Alpha and everyone else accepted you in, Nariko-san. You can kiss or flirt with whoever you want, and no one will kick you out for something like that. It's stupid of you to think so.

[ ... Apparently, he can also be the direct one when you least except it ]

My mom always got upset when I did things with boys. [And Nariko didn't really need to tempt her mother into being any angrier than she was in her general state. Ultimately what Mikado's saying is difficult for her to accept. She has to think on it for a solid ten to fifteen seconds, which is an oddly long time to just sit there and be quiet but. Nariko hasn't reached the point in her life where she thinks quickly enough to react immediately. That was a very learned habit, if anything.

What she does know is that he's right. The Alpha - and she knew what that title meant thanks to her father - had taken her in.]

I'm not trying to be stupid. [You were almost perfect, Mikado, but her feelings are a little hurt by that. She gets up from the couch to stand in front of the other boy and then, without any warning she kisses him. It's not a little peck like Masaomi had done to her, it's well-aimed and firm. And when she pulls away:] As long as Nathan stays safe then I guess it can't hurt. [A pause.] And those glasses are cute, too.

[She turns around, which gives Masaomi a chance to see the incredible amount of pride in her expression as she moves to sit back on the couch. With Nathan out of the room, and now that it's made clear that she won't be thrown out she's all over the place. Her scent compounds and then doubles, and she's got all that nervous, excitable energy in her bones that always precedes a kiss or rutting up on someone.]

[ Let no one accept that Mikado is perfect at anything. He blinks when she stands, and he's held in awe when she kisses her. He started to say something like "I don't think you're stupid, Nariko-san" but it got cut off by by the kiss. He instead blinks, looking like a real dumbass as he stands there, floating in the air as she stood in front of and probably a little taller or level with him because he wasn't very big. ]

Thank you? [ Shit, he- okay, he should clarify - ] And I don't think you're stupid, Nariko-san.

[ Masaomi though is laughing and clapping as she comes back to the couch, motioning that Mikado could come join them there. The other boy stands there awkwardly, not sure if he offended too much or what... As for Masaomi though, being a thirteen year old shit, takes a step further ]

Yeah well your mom is dumb. A girl as hot as you should be all over the boys. Or girls if you like I guess.

[... She's not supposed to like girls either but it's probably a bad idea to repeat anything her mother had instilled over the past few years. She plays with her hair on the couch and simply puts it as,] No, I like boys best. A lot, actually.

[And this was hardly the first time they'd been stupid over her. She was at the point of really learning what worked best for the scenario, what really made guys crazy in a general sense or might get them to do as she wanted. And while that in itself was more than a tad manipulative she also had a lot of fun, herself. Kissing, touching, and feeling so lost in all those feelings was great.

Speaking of that, though, she looks at Mikado in a way that ends up being a tad flirtatious so, no, he didn't offend her in any concrete way. And he's the only one still standing up, so...]

So you just run around doing whatever you want, then?

People are free to do as they choose---

[ And then Masaomi cuts him off with a snort ] Yeah, whatever, Ghandi. Look, the point is that as long as you're not breaking any of the pack's rules or annoying anyone else, then you're fine. No one's going to kick you out for anything or anyone else as long as we let you two in with us in the first place.

[ Sheesh, Mikado, don't make it so serious! And Mikado hangs his head at that. That's.. mean... man. ]

[It's incredibly direct but she wouldn't really call it mean, per se. The pack's rules were surely explained to she and Nathan at some point or another and, by and large, she's not a particularly difficult child, not really. So it seems she really will be alright.]

That's ... Interesting. What should I do first, then.

[... She wants to eat ice cream until she's sick, and then throw things at anyone who dares to remind her that it'll make her fat. That's exactly what she wants to do. Besides reaching forward to pull Mikado onto the couch because by now he's just making her nervous.]

Oh, is that why you were being so unromantic, Masa? [She didn't even follow up with the second part of that, goodness.]

[ Heeeeeh ] Well someone might scold us if we're too difficult, but it'll probably be Basara-niichan.

[ Masaomi says that with a wide smirk, watching her pull Mikado in, who stumbles forward, feeling awkward... ! He tries to resist being pulled onto the couch, because like! He'd fall on her or Masaomi! But when Masaomi reaches out and smacks Mikado's ass, he jumps, stumbles, and falls on top of Nariko.

Ooops ]

I don't really know who that is.

[Like, she's probably seen him a few times, now? But the image and personality probably hadn't stuck to her brain yet. But before she can ask any more questions (and right now it's feeling like she should have done that much earlier.

But then a series of events occur, which somehow end with her being quite literally smacked into. She yelps at the sudden weight on her body but mostly tries to avoid falling off the couch and that's a success! But now there's a boy on her. Literally right on top of her and pushed onto her chest.]

... Hi? [This is weird and she's still kind of a little excited but also uncertain. What are they doing here and why does it feel like Masaomi's fault?]

H---hi. Sorry!

[ He says this sheepishly, trying to back off and squirm off her. She's not really shoving him or freaking out so that's good but! But - ... But Masaomi pushes Mikado back down so he's face-first into Nariko's tits, his glasses fogging and being pushed up his face and his voice shouting with some alarm into them - and more important than all, his scent going haywire around them, as well as him popping an awkward boner ]

Told you he's awkward.

[ That's Masaomi. ... She doesn't know Basara-niichan. Man. ]

[This is definitely Masaomi's fault, but she kind of sees a pattern here, even as she can't help reacting to the weirdness of the situation, and the fact that someone's face is pressed into her tits, which are sensitive enough that lightly brushing over them can make her shudder.]

You know, I really don't think this is the product of Mikado being awkward! [But now he's excited and that's going to be a little bit of a problem, right? She might as well help him with it. Whenever Mikado raises his head a little Nariko reaches up to gently pull his glasses off.]

These might get in the way a bit.

[She tries to set them in a place that won't end with them being smashed or anything.] You can - I mean, you're kinda hard, so ... [Words are hard. Putting his hand on her boobs is a lot easier.]

[ Masaomi laughs at this, but he also leans back. Honestly, he's proud of his boy Mikado for going for it like this. Mikado blinks a little at his glasses being taken off, and goes straight up wide-eyed at his hands being put on her boobs. Without really thinking, he squeezes down on them, and he looks at them a little... ]

I -- Well yes, but I didn't want to just assume things!

[ He shouted, loudly and way too awkwardly. But all the same, Masoami laughs more at this and pipes in with, ]

Come on, her tits are huge, just give them a squeeze!

Edited 2015-12-04 04:41 (UTC)

[How can he be proud when he didn't even let Mikado go for it naturally? Boys are such stupid assholes. But she moans a little when he squeezes without thinking, and it ultimately gives her that floaty feeling, the one that guarantees her scent will become incredibly prominent and impossible to run off from.

Also wow, Mikado don't shout. But he seems kind of nervous, so she tries to lean up and kiss him somewhere random.] It's okay.

[And then Masaomi goes and calls them 'huge'! Is that even a good thing? Somehow 'big' sounds okay but not 'huge'.] Don't call them that! They're just really sensitive! [That has nothing to do with anything. They're huge and that's about the end of things.]

debating if I do a Mikado account and if I PB him or use his canon one choices

canon one so Masaomi's not the only one alone in live action land?

Maybe. I'm pretty sure I can't canon Mikado for real for real though so I'll decide soon

So I decided to go with a PB in order to differentiate from canon

Masaomi continues to be the cool lone wanderer
