I believe in a thing called love

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.]

I'm perfectly aware that it's a snake, but it's my snake. That's got to mean somethin' as far as house pride goes.

[He raises a curious brow as the snake pokes her little head out, a little excited that their hardwork is coming to something.]

This afternoon after classes? Around four? I should be gradin' papers then.

[A light shrug as he gives Rhys one final look before gluing his eyes on Bro. He's excited about the snake baby, but he's a little wary about showing it in front of Rhys. So, he's just going to stare fondly at Bro.]

Yes, I can see.

Very well. [It's only with a supreme effort of will that Rhys doesn't just take out his wand and hex the blond, and instead manages to incline his head politely and stride off.]

[Bro just about breathes a sigh of relief when Rhys finally goes. He shoots him a really nasty look and if he wasn't holding the egg, he would probably give him the middle finger. After a moment, he turns his attention back to the egg, walking over to a nearby windowsill so that he can set the egg in it.]

About fuckin' time he left, Jesus dicks. Can you focus on our baby now, please?

[Murdoc can't help chuckling softly at that dirty look. Maybe it's the love potion in the air, but Bro you are just so endearingly dumb at times.]

For the last time, Dirk. It isn't our baby. It's a snake. A baby snake. [He follows him, rubbing his shoulder against him.] Are you ever gonna tell me why you're so emotionally invested in it?

I'm not emotionally invested in it. [He says it almost defensively.] Would you rather I was a stick in the mud about the whole thing and just bitched about it every step of the way? Because that's a thing I could do if you really fucking wanted.

[But he doesn't want to, because he's really into this.]

Yes you are, don't lie to me, Dirk. [He drawls out in a bored tone, stretching and wrapping an arm around him so he can nestle against him. He gives him a gooey eyed stare and leans down to rest his chin on his shoulder, showing much more affection than he tends to in public.]

I never said it was a bad thing, I just didn't expect you to take such an interest. It's adorable. [He smiles and stares for a long moment.] I love you.. [He says that in a low voice, trailing off a little as he does. He's said it before without a mutual response, he doesn't mind saying it again...though he's not sure why he did.]

[Damn there's so much goo in that stare that it's got more calories than Paula Deen's gooey butter cakes. It's a good thing he's a man of treats, because he doesn't mind at all. In fact it kind of makes him smile and just roll his eyes affectionately, leaning in to nudge Murdoc's head with his own.

He's about to respond to the adorable comment when Murdoc speaks again and says that and... Haha. Wow, it makes his heart skip a beat and his face go a bit red, because hearing it feels good even if... He can't quite bring himself to say it, but for different reasons than last time.

So instead of saying it, he just leans in and presses a kiss to Murdoc's lips, smiling against them as he does.]

[Murdoc would love to know his stupid expressions can be compared to odd but decidedly delicious muggle box cake, it's a compliment he can truly appreciate given how much he fucking loves cake.

The reaction is everything Murdoc did and didn't expect. The last time he said it..well. It didn't get brushed off, but they did sort of skim over it. The timing just wasn't right. Now? God. His heart is beating so fast and he's so irrationally excited thanks to this damn love potion, it's hard to even stay still.

He leans in and returns the kiss quickly, pressing a few more to the sides of his mouth before pulling back.]

I'm serious, Dirk. I love you. I'm in love with you. [It's cute but...that smile is a little weirdly excited for Murdoc.] We should get married.

[The kiss is nice. It's happy and enthusiastic and the little kisses Murdoc presses to the sides of his mouth feel good and make him smile. The smile grows when Murdoc says that, because even though he isn't going to say it just yet, it still feels good and makes him happy to hear.
Except... Then Murdoc says that and immediately Bro's eyes go wide, because.

Did he hear right?

Yeah... He heard right, and he's... speechless. What the fuck? Where the fuck did that even come from? He barely realizes the smile is a bit too unnatural, because he's so completely caught off guard that he just can't even focus.]

Wh-- Murdoc, did you just... I- what?

[Murdoc keeps giving Bro the bright eyed stare all through his reaction. His heart is racing and he can't think of anything but how much he loves Bro and wants to put a ring on him and keep him forever. Because he's so adorable. And handsome. And he has nice hands. Murdoc is just going to reach out and squeeze at one before giggling under his breath.

Somewhere in his brain he's telling himself he's fucking crazy, but it's hard to acknowledge it right now.]

Married! We should get married!

[Stop. Stop, stop, stop. Stop the ride, he wants to get off. This isn't planet earth anymore, this is some foreign planet. Where... Where marriage exists and he's being proposed to and his brain is slowly breaking and holy shit he's completely overloaded right now. To the point he isn't even really thinking that the castle is playing shenanigans. He just thinks Murdoc has gone crazy enough to want to actually get married all of a sudden.]

Holy shit-- We just fucking crossed babies off of things we're ready for, and suddenly you wanna get married? What the hell?

[He sounds kind of panicked. Because he is. He never even proposed to Roxanne when they were together. Him and real commitment are just... They do not go hand in hand. At least, he doesn't think they do. Right here, right now, the idea is fucking terrifying. Holy shit. He can't help but pull his hand out of Murdoc's and just... Stare at him with a flabbergasted expression.]

We can uncross them! [He says, ever so hopefully. His eyes just keep getting wider because he keeps getting more excited.] We can get married and then we can have a baby together.

[Where they'll get it from is anyone's guess! He pouts a little as Dirk pulls his hand away, stepping forward to close the distance between them so he can smile eagerly at him.]

Say yes. [He suggests, nodding for Dirk and placing a hand on his chest....and then realises how nice that feels. Now he's distracted by how buff Dirk's chest is.]

[Nope. Nope, nope, nope this is not a thing that's happening. In the back of his mind he realizes that there's probably something up, but honestly the idea is just so fucking scary right now that he's having a hard time taking himself out of the situation enough to really and truly realize that.]

No we can't! [Aside from biology, that's... No. Nope.]

[He shakes his head at Murdoc's last demand and he stares down at Murdoc's hand resting on his chest for a long moment before shaking his head again, moving to stand up.]

I'm outtie, maybe you'll realize this is ridiculous in a few hours or somethin', but I need some air.

Why not? [There's a soft whine to his voice and it's almost as if his eyes are suddenly so much more moist and filled with desperation and sadness because he just loves Bro so much it hurts!

He lets his hands drop, only so he can wipe at the tears that are welling up in his eyes from this utterly painful.]

You're goin' to leave me with our baby? [He asks in a pitiful rasp, letting out a sob.] You're a fuckin' bastard.

[Welp if there's one thing he didn't expect to hear behind him, it's the sound of Murdoc letting out a sob. When is the last time Murdoc cried? He isn't even fucking sure, but. Over this? What the hell? It's enough to put things into perspective and make him realize that maybe there's something not quite right going on. Like maybe castle shenanigans or some shit. But what the hell would cause this to happen, of all things?

He turns back around slowly.]

Murdoc, I think there's somethin' wrong with you.

[When Bro turns, Murdoc is already wiping furiously at his eyes in an attempt to hide the tears that he reeeally hadn't been too subtle about. Once he's done with that, he's going to quickly close the gap between them so he can throw one of his arms around Bro. The other hand is still craddling the egg between their chests, given that it's nowhere near hatched yet.

He muffles another sob as his brain fights the effects of the potion so it can give in to Bro's reason.]

D'you think it was Rhydderch? [His voice is so very pathetic and small now.]

[Bro very nearly lets out an audible sigh of relief when Murdoc speaks. Finally he's getting to the bottom of this and Murdoc is actually aware that something is up. Thank fuck. If Murdoc kept this up, he honestly doesn't know what the hell he would do.

But man if it's Rhys he will cut a bitch.]

I honestly don't know. When you were with him recently, were you drinking anything? Did he give you food? Was there anything off about him?

No. [His voice is snippy, so clearly part of him is back in order. He sniffs, starting to recover from the sudden episode of emotions.]

There's always something off about that man. I assumed because I was fine until he stopped and got in the way.

You're telling me. [Bro has no trouble agreeing there is definitely something off about Rhys, even if it wasn't for the fact this is happening. The fact it is just makes him hate Rhys that much more- even if the man might or might not be the cause of it. Even if he isn't, Bro is just going to blame him anyway. Such is life.] If that's the case, it was obviously him. We should go... I dunno. Punch him! Or something. [Because that went over well last time, Bro.]

I... [Think you're an idiot.] Don't imagine that would go terribly well, to be perfectly honest. You might bruise your knuckles on that brickhouse of a man.

[He shrugs his shoulders before quivering ever so slightly, giving Bro another heart breaking expression] I don't want you to get hurt.

[Bro scoffs, because the idea of Rhys hurting him is simply ridiculous as fuck. That scoff is enough to make the fact he thinks so completely obvious. But that doesn't stop him from voicing it anyway.]

Are you saying he's manlier than me? I will fucking prove you wrong, man. I'll take him down and piss on his grave before he ever has the chance to lay a hand on me!

You didn't seem to do all that much damage last time... [That was very much muttered. Murdoc is just going to run his hands up and down Bro's chest so he knows damn well how nice and manly it is.] I'd say you'd have a high chance of gettin' us both haunted beyond the defiled grave.

[He shakes his head at the idea of a massive Rhys ghost floating in their room.] Perhaps we should take our egg somewhere more pleasant to hatch. [He gives him a nudge, trying to guide him away from the location of such an embarrassing break down.]

[Excuse you? Excuse you?? He did plenty of damage.

To his knuckles. He lets out a huff, but the rubbing of his chest seems to get the message across and his prickles settle down a bit. It probably helps that deep down inside, he knows Murdoc is right.]

Alright, alright, fine. Where do you suggest? The room of sunshine-out-the-ass?

Edited 2013-08-23 04:14 (UTC)

[Way to be rude, Bro. That earns you a glare, but Murdoc is still going to snuggle up against him like not doing so is going to make him disappear.]

Very funny. [He's just going to grab Bro's arm with his free hand and drag him toward their room.] I'm sure the students will understand if I need to cancel class due to unforeseeable illness.
