Request: What would it be like to date the Horned King?
- This poor old man has no idea what he’s doing.
- He can't remember the last positive relationship he had with another person.
- He has extremely vague memories of his parents being kind to him but that's about it.
- So he doesn't know what to do with all these warm happy feelings.
- What do people in love even do?
- His first instinct is to ensure the safety and comfort of his S/O.
- And the king’s chambers are the safest place in the castle, so all he has to do is order his minions to scrub the bloodstains and cobwebs off and add some pillows right?
- He can even have the minions bring his S/O food “So you may stay in this place forever... My cALon WhY do yOU WeEp?!”
- He really didn't mean for it to sound like he was locking them up he just wanted them to feel safe.
- It didn't help that Creeper also thought that S/O was being locked away and came in with a big iron lock right when the king started talking.
- This is going to take some smoothing over, maybe he could slaughter his S/O’s enemies and bring them riches to regain their affections?
- He really needs his S/O to tell him what he’s supposed to do.
- The Horned King hasn't received any form of physical affection in over a hundred years at least. So getting it from S/O will be a bit of a shock.
- He doesn't even understand why they’re doing it he’s literally skin and bones, it can’t be pleasant to touch his hardened knurled flesh.
- He can’t even feel it very well.
- Not that he dislikes it, it just confuses him.
- As an ancient lich he has an astounding amount of patience, so he’s content to be held for long periods of time, even remains perfectly still and deep in thought in their arms while his S/O sleeps during the night.
- Assuming he has no time sensitive tasks to complete.
- He will on occasion ask to be held while he’s reading, but only when he’s in a melancholy mood.
- Kisses confuse him even more, he has no lips anymore, only teeth.
- He is delighted by the sentiment, but cannot return the action.
- Quickest way to put the merciless Horned King into a good mood? Pepper his face with little kisses.
- The thing he appreciates over everything is having someone to talk to, someone he ENJOYS talking to.
- Simply having long conversations with him is more than enough.
