Smoke dropped the leaf to bat at Derlik's fingers, purring contentedly, tail twitching. Nik glared at him, ducking away from the touch.
Smoke dropped the leaf to bat at Derlik's fingers, purring contentedly, tail twitching. Nik glared at him, ducking away from the touch.
Derlik wiggled his fingers at Smoke, playing with him happily. He glanced at Nik when he fucked away from the pat. He lifted his red, well manicured finger and flicked Nik in the head. Not enough to leave too much damage, but enough to hurt, and maybe even knock Nik off his feet.
"Obviously, that isn't very smart at all," he chided.
Nik stumbled, barely catching himself from falling. He glared at Derlik, crossing his arms tightly over his chest and clenching his jaw. Smoke kept batting happily at Derlik's fingers.
Derlik scratched under Smoke's chin, looking down at Nik and tutting. He took Nik's chin in-between his thumb and forefinger, pulling him forward.
"You're quite stubborn. I like that~"
Nik grimaced, pulling back and away from Derlik's hand. "Let go of me!" he snapped, frowning and grimacing up at Derlik. Smoke meowed a little, purring quietly and batting at Derlik.
Derlik pinched Nik's hair, yanking him forward.
"I'll use you however I wish to," Derlik said. He smirked a little. He ruffled the fur on top of Smoke's head lightly, still treating him better than Nik. Maybe if Nik started "behaving," at least in Derlik's eyes, he'd be treated better too.
Nik narrowed his eyes, yelping in pain when his hair was yanked on. "That hurt!" he yelped, glaring up at Derlik. Smoke batted at Derlik's fingers, nipping at his fingertips.
"Awh, I had no idea," Derlik said, voice dripping with sarcasm. He picked Nik up by the back of his shirt, rolling his eyes.
"You're clueless…" He continued to play with Smoke, looking down at him with a softer smile.
Nik squirmed again, tugging at the shirt. "Put me down!" he demanded, still glaring at Derlik. Smoke purred happily as Derlik played with him.
(human Smoke not understanding why Nik doesn't like Derlik because Derlik has always been kind to him)
(mhm that's the goal XD)
Derlik raised an eyebrow at Nik. Instead of putting Nik down on the ground, he put the mortal on his lap. He hummed a little, now using both hands to basically shower Smoke in affection.
(XD)
Nik grimaced, shifting around and unsure what to do now. Smoke purred louder, tail flicking back and forth as he batted and nipped Derlik's fingers.
Derlik picked Smoke up at this point, holding the kitten close as he played with him. He glanced at Nik.
"Are you going to start cooperating?" He asked.
(gtg soon by the way)
Nik grimaced, but didn't otherwise respond, glaring up at Derlik. Smoke kept purring, batting at Nik's fingers.
(ah, okay then! Me too lol)
Derlik sighed.
"You know, you'll be treated a lot better if you did. But, I suppose we'll have to do this the hard way then." He was treating the kitten very well…
(lol goodnight!)
Nik clenched his hands into fists, looking away and still not verbally replying. Smoke meowed quietly, still purring up at Derlik.
Derlik sighed. He flicked Nik's head again, this time hard enough to knock him over.
"You're to respond when spoken to," he said. He lifted Smoke up, kissing his head and nuzzling him.
Nik fell, glaring up at him, and still didn't respond, pointedly looking away, crossing his arms. Smoke meowed again, batting at Derlik's nose.
Derlik growled softly. He set Smoke down, patting his head and letting him wander. Derlik pinched Nik's hair in his fingers again, yanking him up.
"Either you answer, or I kill you here and now," Derlik growled.
Nik yelped in pain. "Put me down!" He exclaimed. "That hurts!" Smoke meowed worriedly when he heard Nik's voice.
"Will you start behaving yourself?" Derlik demanded. He wrapped his other hand around Nik, letting go of his hair.
"Or should I just crush you now?"
Nik whimpered fearfully, shaking a little bit. He rubbed at his eyes with his hands, unable to form an answer.
Derlik sighed a little. He didn't start squeezing though, thank goodness.
"You'd best behave," he said, voice a bit softer now. He uncurled his hand, letting Nik sit on his palm.
Nik curled up on himself, hiding his face in his arms. He sniffled faintly, rubbing his face with his hands.
Derlik sighed again gently.
"I'm not going to kill you," he finally said gently. He lightly touched Nik's back.
Nik flinched at the touch, curling tighter into himself. He didn't speak, though, just swallowed softly.
