I believe in a thing called love

[wwistful]

WHO: Murdoc, Bro and Rhys
TONE: Horrifying (Hilarious)
RATING: PG-13 to R?? It's these three.
WHEN: Feb 10th onward
WHERE:  The halls
WHAT: Bro and Murdoc are great egg daddies, Rhys gets a whiff of the love potion and has eyes for Murdoc.
STATUS: Ongoing

[Murdoc had no intention of participating in the activities. It seemed like a silly waste of time and honestly, this sort of thing rarely ends well in Hogwarts. He really doesn't want to turn into a lady or a pirate again. He'll never live it down if it happens again. It's embarrassing enough that students still mutter 'yarr' under their breath when they think he isn't listening.

However, when Bro greeted him with the egg baby in his arms he could hardly say no, could he? He still owes Bro a bit of focused attention after hurting his feelings so badly and quietly, he feels like this could be a nice way to grow even closer to his boyfriend. If they can trust each other with an egg baby, surely their relationship will develop even further in a pleasing way. They've already named it, too. Their egg is called Celia and everything is going swimmingly.

They're walking together down the halls, Murdoc listening as Bro recounts his day for him. He's carrying the egg for now, and he's being as attentive as possble as he does. Until he sees Rhys, and he feels the great urge to toss Celia at him. However, he needs to swallow his hatred and pause for a moment as he feels the egg rustling in his hands.]

Ah! It's movin'! [He exclaims, looking both excited and terrified.] I think it's about to hatch!! [It's actually kind of strange how hyped up he's getting.]

Comments

[wwistful]

No, it can't hear me. It's not old enough to hatch and it wouldn't understand me anyway, unless I've been a parseltongue my whole life without realising.

[That would be so cool. But he sees that he's being insensitive and that it's probably bothering Bro, so he kisses his cheek and then with a great deal of wounded pride, kisses the egg.]

I had no idea you were so invested in the idea of startin' a family together. [With a snake.]

[plushaeusrumpified]

Maybe you have.

[Associated with evil wizards or not, Bro can't deny that the ability to talk to snakes is pretty damn cool. He doesn't even really understand it, honestly. Why it's such a bad thing. Evil wizards need to get something less cliche than snakes.

He can't help but grin though, as Murdoc kisses them both. But then he kinda just... sputters a little, because whoa. Whoooa.

Whoa.]

I- no! That isn't... I mean... Shut up and kiss the egg again, it was cute.

[wwistful]

I suppose we'll find out shortly. I'll have to research some nursery rhymes for our little darlin'.

[Murdoc thinks it would be very cool. Though he's already studied quite a few languages, there are none quite so badass as a secret snake language. Oh, the things you could do..

He gives him a sly grin and reaches over to kiss it again, watching him as he does it.]

I suppose we have enough children as it is, don't we? Perhaps we should invest in snake farmin'.

[plushaeusrumpified]

I'd rather rap to her.

[Good. Very good. When Murdoc kisses the egg, he gives him a smile. But when he speaks, Bro can't help but look thoughtful. Enough children? He... supposes so, maybe. He's certainly never planned on having anymore- that would require being with someone and trying to do the settling down thing again. That didn't particularly go well the first time, in the end. Mainly because he's an insecure dumbass, but still. Unless he knocked someone up, he didn't ever plan on settling down with anyone. But here he is, actually... in a relationship. Now he's thinking about it. Is he done having kids?

Probably...?

Maybe he's putting too much thought into this. Yeah.]

Heh. Snake farming. Why the fuck not?

[wwistful]

So long as it's young snake appropriate rap. I don't want to hear any profanity uttered around our precious angel.

[He can't help but notice the thoughtful look and it makes him wonder if Bro is seriously considering children. Right now? He can't imagine adopting or any such thing together. Yet, he's also happy enough to be optimistic and imagine they'll be together long enough to warrant considering a baby or two...or three. He really regrets not being there for Cronus and Eridan...and Feferi and Meenah. The idea of getting another chance excites him a little.

...Perhaps a little too much. The realisation of his overeagerness has him going a little red in the cheeks and he moves back to smooth out his pants over his thighs, laughing lightly.]

I'll hold you to it, then.

[plushaeusrumpified]

Oh now look who's getting into it.

[Having a second chance would be good. He never really did right with Dave or Dirk, and while he certainly isn't ready to seriously consider it, the idea isn't... as unappealing as one would think. But maybe he really ought to stop thinking about it right now. They have, after all, just reached the love stage. Babies can come later, if at all.

Still, he's so into his own thoughts that he doesn't quite notice the redness on Murdoc's cheeks.]

I'm sure you will. We best see how we do with one snake first though, don't you think?

[wwistful]

I was being sarcastic, my dear. Unless you're also a parseltongue you're free to say whatever you like to it.

[He chuckles the awkwardness off, shaking his head and pulling away to lean back on his side of the couch again, pulling his legs up over Bro.]

Of course, it's only practical. I don't think we're at a point in our lives where snake farming is at all feasible... At least for now.

[plushaeusrumpified]

[Bro pats Murdoc's legs with a sigh, nodding his head lightly.]

Yeah... You're right. S'not feasible at all. But still, you should at least care more about this egg. Y'know, in a non-sarcastic manner. It doesn't hurt to get excited about shit, y'know? Especially something stupid like this.

[wwistful]

[Murdoc shifts his leg as it's pet and scooches a little closer, giving Bro a sly look.]

Does it mean that much to you that I do? [He rubs his arm against him.] Are you that excited? [It's so cute.]

[plushaeusrumpified]

[Bro just kind of grumps and rolls his eyes.]

Alright, if I admit that I am goddamn excited about this, would that make you get excited about it?

[wwistful]

[He shrugs lightly, giving Bro a perplexed look.]

Why don't you start by telling me why you're so excited about a little egg?
