002 ɞ video | open to all
[Before Bucky starts the video, he makes sure it's broadcasting to all of Thisavrou. The Moirans, Savrii, anyone that might be visiting. His expression is passive, reserved even, but his tone is firm.]
I'm gonna make this quick as I can. Most of the people here are from somewhere else. Different universes, different ways of doing things.
[His eyes narrow.]
But what's wrong is wrong and what's right is right.
[Even after what he's been through, he can still tell the difference.]
I wasn't on the Moira when the slavers took some of us, but I heard about them after. We've visited worlds that treat people like shit because they want to. They take advantage and they hurt carelessly. So far this place hasn't been that way. Everyone is nice. [Something that makes him wary, still.] But if anyone, and I mean anyone, starts treatin' robots like they're soul-less. Worthless. Nothing. They'll have to answer to me. Same goes for anyone else, robot or otherwise.
Everyone deserves to be treated fairly, got it?
[It's not a direct threat, but it's close. He knows some people won't like it, but they can come talk to him if they don't. He doesn't like the attention this might get him, but he knows it's a point worth making. Something he knows certain people need to hear. He cuts the feed.]
[ooc: all responses will come in the form of a text message.]

Action
Now...will you tell me what's wrong? Or must I coherence it out of you?
no subject
It's this place. Everyone's nice. They're all so nice.
[He turns to pace the room.]
When are they gonna show their true colors? Got to thinkin' about the people who hurt Mettaton, people that could come right through that goddamn blue gate. What about the people who hurt you? You said they were gone but we don't know that. There could be a whole set of Crows still.
How am I supposed to keep you both safe if I don't know.
no subject
[This is different. He isn't use to seeing Bucky like this or people being so nice to him. The things that he spoke of are normal in his world. It wasn't just the Crows that saw him as lesser.]
If any other Crows come, then they know what will happen to them if they attack me.
[They will die. Plain and simple, but the Crows hurt him because he was their property, but he enjoyed many things that normal elves didn't because of them too.]
The Crows are the least of my worries now, amor. As far as I can tell these people here are not like anywhere else. Surely they would have shown otherwise by now.
no subject
I don't want anyone to hurt you.
[Zevran had seen Bucky when he'd thought he'd lost him. Waking up to see a shell of the man he'd come to know. What if it had been different. What if he'd woken up to the soldier.]
I don't wanna be like this.
no subject
[He had been gone for what feels likes months. He fought evil humans and creatures and slayed beasts bigger than anything he could have imagined. He didn't need Bucky to fight for him.]
Coming back here, it's so different from home. Things that you said, it's part of life there for 'knife ears'.
no subject
Is that what they call you?
no subject
[He doesn't know how many times he has heard it. Too many to bother counting.]
Honestly, my surprise was that I didn't hear it here.
no subject
What's it matter what your ears look like? [He knows it's more than his ears, probably a race thing, but - Bucky steps up close, running his fingers up to the tip of an ear, then the other.] I kinda like them.
no subject
The way you touch them constantly I think it's more than 'kinda'.
[His smiles fades after a second and he just shrugs.]
Elves were slaves to humans in my world. It's just something they have held onto after we were freed.
no subject
You're probably right.
[He hates the way Zevran's smile fades. Almost as if he put it there. He did, he figures, with talking the way he has.]
They shouldn't have been. Nobody deserves to be anyone else's property. [Bucky kisses Zevran's jaw, the corner of his mouth then slips his arms down to his waist. He picks him up off the ground, pressed to his chest.] I'm sorry.
no subject
The smile returns to himake as Bucky lifts him up and pulls him close. He laughs, a rests his hands on those broad shoulders.]
What? No need to be.
no subject
I should have spoken to you first, but I can't take it all back now.
no subject
Of course you should have. I make everything better. But your words were something many had to hear still.
no subject
[He reaches for Zevran's hand, linking their fingers.]
I should have done something sooner.
no subject
[He squeezes Bucky's hand to reassure him.]
no subject
[Bucky pulls Zevran to the couch so they can sit down.]
I know we could go home, eventually, but I don't think I want to anymore. I don't wanna go anywhere that you won't be.
no subject
[He sits down, close to Bucky and knocks their knees together as he rests his head on Bucky's shoulder.]
I have little waiting for me back in Thedas. I like the life we have made here.
no subject
[Bucky figures that's a good start to being a better friend to Mettaton. He lifts an arm and wraps it around Zevran, idly rubbing his thumb across his shoulder.]
I wouldn't ask you to choose, not for me. If you wanted to go back I'd understand. I'd go with you. I like the life we have together.
no subject
[He smiles. The thought was nice. It seemed normal, and they needed it. And then he mentions going home with him, he isn't sure how he likes that idea. There is a lot of things wrong with Thedas, maybe even more than here with its odd aliens and weirder events. He shakes his head in answer.]
It won't come back to that. I promise, here is better.
no subject
[They've both admitted they have feelings and in Bucky's mind, that's as good as a commitment, but it's not quite the same. He reaches up to touch the earring dangling from Zevran's ear, then the one on his own.]
For as long as you'll have me.
no subject
[He says as he climbs int Bucky's lap and straddles him. His thighs squeeze Bucky's and he leans closer with his hands on the back of the couch.]
I'd never let you go.
no subject
no subject
That will be difficult. [He says in a low tone as he leans closer.]
I am told I am very distracting.
no subject
[Bucky loosens his grip and nudges Zevran's chin up, pressing a soft kiss to the tip of his nose.]
You're very distracting.
no subject
[He says it with a smile. He leans a bit closer, his lips close just slightly as he presses them soft and careful to Bucky's. His fingers entwine in those dark locks as he sucks at Bucky's bottom lip and releases it with a small nip.]
Thats exactly how I want to be.
