Rimicha loves attention. It’s a well-known fact that he does; he appreciates the compliments, the occasional hug, and Roma’s pampering!! It makes him feel wanted, loved, adored, and he yearns for that feeling whenever he goes without it.
Rimicha loves attention, and the way he feels from that attention. It’s different with Hallritt though, whenever Hallritt compliments Rimicha, or gives him an extra squeeze when hugging the shorter knight, it makes Rimicha’s face flush and he doesn’t. know. why. Rimicha has been given this sort of attention by others, and what Hallritt is doing isn’t even more extreme! It’s just.. whatever he doesn’t know how to explain it but Rimicha knows it’s different.
Today, Rimicha and Hallritt are hanging one-on-one. It’s not like anyone else couldn’t be there, it’s just that no one else was available. Which is fine, it’s ok! There’s nothing wrong with being with someone else, who just so happens to be so kind, and gorgeous, and everything he is not—
Ah. Well Rimicha is certain that what he’s feeling isn’t jealousy, he knows jealousy. It’s when your stomach twists and you feel ashamed for wanting something—when you feel misplaced anger for something you don’t have. What Rimicha is feeling is nothing like that, he feels warm, almost too warm near Hallritt. He wants to be held, be near Hallritt as much as possible. He wants to braid the other’s white hair, look into his eyes, and lay with him under too many blankets.
He has a crush on Hallritt. What to do with this information, he doesn’t know! He’s in the middle of having lunch with this guy at Lord Kitty’s castle, bringing up his feelings is like. Extremely weird, isn’t it?? The worst part is Hallritt is just. Oblivious to Rimicha’s newly discovered crush, which obviously, but still! Rimicha needs to think of something to say, he’s been really quiet—
“Rimicha, I was thinking, since it’s already noon, you should stay here for the night.”
Opportunity. Splendid.
“Ahh~!!!! Hallritt, thats so nice of you.., I wouldn’t want to intrude though…”
“Don’t worry about it! We have a ton of spare rooms, and if you don’t want to sleep in your own room, you can stay with me for the night!”
Rimicha couldn’t help but brighten up. Hallritt the brilliant, kind man you are. Rimicha definitely wanted to be with this guy.
“I mean..,, if you wouldn’t mind i would love to.., ah,. Stay with you for the night..,,, if you were ok with it..,,,, But don’t like, force yourself to do that you know, like your room is your private space so i wouldn’t want,.., to like.. force youoranything”
Hallritt merely smiled in return and agreed to share his room, which Rimicha was quite relieved. Since the sleepover was spontaneous, Rimicha had to borrow clothes from Hallritt which were bigger on him than he’d think. They’re so soft too, Rimicha wonders if he could wear the others clothes all the time if they were together..
Eventually, after shenanigans that included Rimicha absolutely demolishing Hallritt in numerous pvp games, hair braiding, makeup (Hallritt is so GOOD at this stuff!! What the fuck!!!) they both decided to wind down for bed.
There weren’t any words exchanged, but Hallritt enveloped Rimicha. It was really warm, and not the kind where it’s too much and you want to cool down, no. It was soft and comfortable to the point Rimicha decided he didn’t want to leave any time soon (Which is an exaggeration. He could never leave his dear Lord KIRIMI alone for too long)
..Oh, Hallritt’s already asleep. Maybe thats a good idea actually. Going to sleep. Rimicha could figure out his feelings and how to navigate them later. All that matters right now is that he feels safe and loved.
