CHAPTER IDGAF ~ HAPPY NEW YEAR [video]

[best_king]

[ Just before midnight strikes, a familiar face appears on the screen. I'm sure you guys haven't forgotten who this sexy yet horribly loud-mouthed and douchey guy is. And it's probably no surprised that he's once again drunk off his ass, cuddling with one of the infamous lion cubs kept housed in his condo. ]

Hee, hee, hee. Looks like these mongrels

action; oh you

[best_king]

[ Damn it, Saber. He's actually enjoying himself for once and you have to go and ruin it! He'll be shooting her a disapproving look while she takes away his bottle, almost pouting like a spoiled child.

Whatever. He still has his lion snuggly lion bro, who seems to be adoring all the affection. ]

Woman, do you forget that this is my condo? I should be allowed to drink however much I damn well please. Besides, this is a decent occasion to drink for. Out with the old, in with the new.

action; nope i am

[best_king]

[ Don't mind the drunkard king attempting to make a few swipes at the bottle. Gal will shortly imitate his movements, pawing at the air towards the bottle himself. ]

Making resolutions would imply I find some sort of flaw in my life. I obviously have none to make. [ man he's just going to lie to himself forever at this rate. ]

action; i mean it's in my username and all

[best_king]

[ Oh, Saber. Do you realize just exactly what you're doing? His mind is already poisoned by however much of that swill he had drank before she stole it away. Enough to make certain parts of his brain a little more active. Parts he normally wouldn't let speak for him. But now? ]

...Very well. However, I get to go first.

[ He'll roll onto his stomach now, continuing to idly play with the young cub. It's like he's really only paying half attention, despite directly addressing her. ]

Something tells me you'll ask me to change the way I am. It's in your nature. So, I'll ask you for something you cannot do as well.

[ Only then will he turn his focus to her alone, those almost distant crimson eyes locking onto hers. Behind the obviously influence of the drink, there's something real in there. ]

...Stop being such an unbelievable Lilit. You may not always be concious of it, but you are.

action; tonight on jerry springer...

[best_king]

Awfully introspective there for a moment, weren't we, Saber? I don't believe you understand my meaning, however. I believe the English term is a succubus.

[ He couldn't help but sigh, turning once more to his lion companion and giving him a few rubs on the head before eventually picking himself off the floor, giving the woman before him his undivided attention. Perhaps to make his message all the more clear? ]

Since I came here, I've done nothing but think of you, dream of you, work to gain your favor. And where has it gotten me? I've never had to put up with something like this. You sap my energy, my time, my love. You are, therefore, a succubus.

action; cue angsty sumerian music

[best_king]

[ And now it's probably crawling back down. Oops. ] Ah, how could I forgot? You gave your heart away to that child. ...And yet, I rarely see you ever interact with him. And haven't you been spending more of your time with that Lancer instead? I wonder how he feels about all of this. Or is he just too much of a moron to realize how many men are lusting after his woman?

[ Honestly, what does she think she's hiding? ]

For reasons you can not openly speak about. Really? Do you think I'm so dense as to not see what you're doing? I don't need you to live with me out of pity, Saber.

action;

[best_king]

[ There's a bit of silence before he speaks again. Only the Gods know what is actually happening in his mind. ]

...You choose to stay, yet you desire for me to change my ways to suit your tastes. And lets say that I did this. That I became some sort of upstanding model for society. What would change? Absolutely nothing. I would be no closer to claiming you as my own. I will never be good enough for you.

[ He finally said it. ]

But then we reach another stone in the road, don't we? If I don't change my ways, you'll continue to feel ill as you say, despite staying here this long. So, what will it be? If I refuse to change, will you leave me?

[ And then he laughs. He laughs at the absurdity of it all. Why hadn't he realized this sooner? He was a fool. ]

No, you can't. Because that would be too dangerous. You can't trust me to behave on my own. That is your true reason for staying, isn't it?

action;

[best_king]

I leave that decision to you.

[ Because he couldn't do it. Even if he had finally realized that the idea of them actually together was just outside of the realm of possibility, there was a part of him that couldn't bare letting her go. Because he was afraid to admit defeat of any sort. He was selfish and irrational. And so, the obvious choice was to let her choose. He wasn't going to force her to stay or leave. ]

However, if you decide to stay, do so because you wish to be here, not because you're afraid of what I may or may not do. It's insulting, one king to another. If you wish to remain as a companion, as you say, that means you need not remain as a babysitter. When you make it seem as though living with me is a duty, it cuts deeper than any blade ever could. I derserve more than that from you.
