All Knights Bleed

Jae was no stranger to all nighters. Earlier, him and Jihyo were out fighting monsters. One thing led to another, and they ended up getting a bit more action than they anticipated. Yet, they prevailed. Usually after such events, Jae follows her back home to spend the night, claiming his apartment was “too far away” or he was “too tired”. Really though, he just wanted to make sure she was okay. Besides, she didn’t mind... or at least, he thought so.

It was late, and Jihyo was asleep at his constant insistence. On the other hand, in the living room, he was casually flipping through a book with a ‘cheesy’ drama on in the background. He really wasn’t tired, and the korean language, even if he had a strong grasp on it, still fascinated him. The words were barely read, as he found much more interest in just the shape of the characters. 

Jae was never really fond of the rain. It made traveling very painful and the kingdom he once defended vulnerable to attacks. The only thing he was ever worried about was the defense of his home, which took away the time to enjoy the small things in life. He no longer lived the life of a real knight. It was just another page in history, one that he desperately wished to return to.

Yet, under the cover of an umbrella, the Dragon Knight meekly brought his hand out and felt the sprinkle of rain. He was almost afraid it would hurt him, but he found it rather… soothing. He was brought out of his daze when he saw the figure of a woman struggling to cover herself from the drizzle. Without a second thought, he called out to the passing figure with a friendly smile, “Excuse me!” just as quickly as he spoke he put the umbrella over her head, trailing behind her. He paused, remembering he had to speak ‘normally’. “Miss, it’s not good for your health to get caught in the rain for too long. Please, take my umbrella, or at least allow me to escort you to where you are off to.”

Jae wasn’t used to gifts. Normally, it was him who gave his time, his energy, anything he could to benefit others. Perhaps it was an unheathly quality, but he couldn’t help it. So when his companion, Jihyo, set a box in front of him, he was quite surprised. “My lady, is this a gift? I appreciate the thought if so, but this is terribly unnecessary. I have done nothing to deserve such a thing.”

Yet, her persistence and reassurance (and maybe his own weakness for her) got him to open the box. A squeal of excitement escaped his mouth as he quickly realized what it was. “Jihyo!” He said forgetting his typical title for her. In his hand was a small Bearded Dragon. Weird? Mayhaps, but being human for so long, even before this time, has made him miss the feeling of scales. “I truly am blessed to have you as companion. I will take good care of the creature, as if it were my own.”

In the land of kings and queens, Jae was almost at the top of the hierarchy. He never became king, for he would never want such power. But he could not deny that he naturally had power because he was the king’s royal guard and of nobility. Yet, even if he had wealth, he was a giver. He was popular amon both classes, for he kept the kingdom safe and gave away what he could.

So, when he had heard rumors of a “snobby” rich kid. He was hoping that they were just that, rumors. Yet, his own opinions quickly formed from the few interactions with the man, known as Taemin. Simply put, he hated his attitude. It was atrocious for someone of such caliber. In fact, on this ocassion, the man had the gall to command him around like a servant. That simply would not be accepted by the card.

“Sir Taemin,” Jae sternly spoke, a low growl threatening to escape his throat, “I advise you speak with more caution. Your behavior is uncouth for someone of your type. I do not want to have such negative feelings for someone I barely know.”

“…jesus fucking christ, what the fuck is that?” the girl asks while looking down at the creature who was contained in the glass container. “why the fuck does its eyes look like that? why does the colors look so… ugly?” she looks up at the male next to her, a look of concern written on her face. “jae, are you okay? because if you actually find interest in creatures like these, then i am deeply confused on why you believe so.” 

perhaps she needed to be more human to understand his interest in the reptile. either that, or she was too human.

“I will have you know,” Jae playfully narrowed his eyes, used to the other’s typical bitter mood, “that my true form is of reptilian origin as well. So of course, I am going to be intrigued by these lizards!” Jae jokingly growled at her, as if he were a dragon. 

He leaned down, eyeing his pet with interest. “I call him Hector, after my dearest companion.” 

“And he is not ugly! He is a sweetie. Just look at him, sitting there looking dashing as per usual!” Jae glanced over at the other, a mischievous smile clearly showing.

Jae loved malls. In the past, he would often find himself wandering through the trade district of the city he protected. He enjoyed any place where he could watch how humans interacted in the modern century. So of course, he had to bring his captor, though he preferred to call her lady, to the shopping center. He would assume that she had been to malls many times in her life, but that hopefully didn’t dampen the experience with him. He chuckled at her words, “Don’t speak such nonsense. I simply enjoy your company. Sometimes it gets a little lonely when you are too busy and do not need my assistance.”

He simply shrugged, but nonetheless kept a grin on his face. It was understandable that it might be strange that he would offer to do something so modern, but hey, that meant he was learning!

“That will be unnecessary. I do not require the currency of this land from you.” Jae replied as they continued to aimlessly walk around. An ominous smile met his face, “I always have coins in my coin purse, wallet, I suppose it is called now.”

When her voice lowered and she questioned if he had ever been to a mall, he couldn’t help but let out a small twinkle of a laugh. With an equally quiet voice, he leaned over and whispered, “In case you’ve forgotten, I work here. I’m a security guard.”

As soon as he heard screaming, he instantly knew something was wrong. Jae watched as a people ran by him, and he glanced in the direction they were coming from. He tried to make his was towards whatever was causing panic, but the tide of people held him back from quickly reaching that destination. Was it a monster? Surely, those rainbow colored heroes could take care of them. But at the same time, maybe the couldn’t.

Just as he thought about channeling his magic to call his weapon to his side, he saw someone being shoved around more so than the rest of the humans. They were like cattle, and he would be laughing if someone wasn’t being half-trampled. He forced his way through the crowd and pulled her close when she was within arms reach. He tried his best to drag her out of the way. It didn’t take much thought before he realized that this person wasn’t magical at all. Why was this a problem? He still hadn’t learned how to talk ‘normally’. It was just a mental block for him. Ingrained in mind was the vocabulary and speech of a century long gone.

I am excited to start sending asks for the new memes, but as a minor I will NOT be writing or replying to any memes for the lust/seduce meme or anything pertaining to those themes. Thanks for understanding and stay saucy~!
