Seducing the Priest

It’s a little more than just forbidden love—maybe your motives aren’t love at all—or corrupting an innocent, because in this meme it may be the innocent doing the tempting. You’ve set your sights on a someone untouchable, someone whose faith, vows, or situation have forbidden them from straying toward the desires of the flesh, but you’re determined to see to it that they stray. Right into your arms. Or perhaps you are the priest, or knight, or king, and now you’re facing irresistible, relentless temptation from the most exquisite source.


Irresistible
1. White as Snow - You’re the angel, the ingenue, the Lolita, seemingly pristine and pure. Perhaps you’re even a virgin. But your heart is not so pure, and you have some ideas about just how you’d like to be debauched. You’ve set your sights on your beloved, and sooner or later you’ll wear down their resolve.
2. Red as Blood - Let’s not kid anyone, you’re no virgin. You’re the Jezebel, the witch, the whore, you’re the one that all the texts warn about. You’re beautiful and dripping with sin, and you revel in it. Men and women fall at your feet, compelled by adoration and lust. But you’ve lost all interest in all but one: the one who has vowed to resist you.
3. Black as Night - You’re not doing this out of such pure motives. You can’t claim this is out of love. Perhaps not even out of lust. This is about bitterness and revenge. You want to see this person—or their order—depraved and debauched, and you have just the plan to do it. Just be careful, you might fall in love with your target. Or you might not: hatesex can be such fun.

Untouchable
1. Sworn to the Cloth - You’re a priest or a nun, vowed to chastity. Married to god. Divorced forever from the pleasures of the flesh. It hasn’t ever been a problem, before now. But they’re everything that tempts you most, and your certainty is fracturing with every smile, every flirtation. Eternal damnation might be worth a night of pleasure.
2. Sworn to the Cause - No love for you but Patria. You’re married to your work, your country, your order. Whether you’re a knight, a politician, or a prophet, you have no time for love, and you’ve never been tempted by mere physical pleasure. Until you encounter the one person who can compare, who tempts you away from your noble aims and your vows of abstinence. The revolution can wait another day, for them.
3. Sworn to the Crown - Born into royalty or nobility, you always knew that your duty would come before love. Perhaps you entered a loveless marriage, or perhaps you were forbidden from marrying at all. It never bothered you before. Your country needed you, and your family taught you to put duty above all. You’re married to the throne, and your bed is cold. But now someone has lit a fire in your heart, even though you may have to risk everything to have them.

((OOC: Sworn to the Cause (SCIENCE!) for a more in-universe take, but I could easily AU him into Sworn to the Cloth. He could conceiveably be on the Irresistible side, but only if it's either an experiment gone wrong/Night Vale shenanigans or if he's not actually being temping on purpose.))

((OOC: Interested mostly in him being Sworn to the Cause. Happy to AU to Sworn to the Crown as well. There's not really an option on the list for "seducing someone with kindness" really, but I'd be keen to play him on the Irresistible side where he's taking care of someone Untouchable and sort of seduces them on accident.))

white as snow... sort of... really.... shhhh

Of course Mikado Ryuugamine is a Boy Scout. Aside from how very important the Boy Scouts are in the town, the Boy Scouts have been good for him personally as a reason to get out and talk to other boys, even if he's often sort of dragged around by his more outgoing friends. He's that boy who requires a little extra encouragement sometimes to get involved but takes any role he's given quite seriously, the one who has acquired quite a few badges but still blushes and fumbles a bit when socialization is called for.

Perhaps it's this extra encouragement that has forged a relationship between himself and the Scoutmaster. Mikado has been in the Scouts for a long time, is hanging in there even at an age when many older boys have shifted focus to other interests. For a teenager, he has shown very little interest in going to parties or dating. He has shown some tendency to take on more leading roles in Scouts as he ages, simply because his peers being busy with other things leaves him more room to step forward without having to be assertive about it. The whole way, Scoutmaster Earl has constantly been there, ready to support him whenever he needs it, and he hasn't failed to notice.

Perhaps, recently, he's noticed a bit too much. So far there have only been fairly innocuous hints that Mikado thinks a little too much of his Scoutmaster: making excuses to come talk to him, choosing to stick closer by his side during any kind of Boy Scout event, glowing a little too brightly anytime Earl praises him. Fortunately for Mikado, his quiet and polite nature has led other young people to think of him as sort of asexual, to assign his interest to a place of enjoying being treated as an important part of the group rather than seeing it as a crush.

Unfortunately, Scoutmaster Earl seems just as oblivious to the fact that his star Scout has been creeping closer to him out of personal interest. The lack of acknowledgement that sometimes Mikado shifts closer than is polite or looks at the man as if his face took up the whole night sky might be nice for keeping Mikado from being teased, but it doesn't get him any closer to... getting closer.

The boy is frustrated. He's never had sex or even dated anyone, but he has quite firmly decided that this is the person he wants, and that any awkwardness about their relative positions is immaterial. (Or perhaps even that it makes the whole thing more exciting...) But any attempt to show Scoutmaster Earl that interest has been brushed off as interest in what they were doing, as a desire to be a good Scout, as genuine interest in Subversive Radio Host badges. (That one particularly, he wishes he hadn't pursued with Earl, because if he has to hear about Cecil one more time he's going to explode.)

Tonight, he's decided, there is going to be an end to it.

Tonight, in the desert, in a tent or under the stars, he's going to have what he wants or be rejected clearly and have done with this pathetic sidling closer and going unnoticed under the eyes of the man he desires.

To that end, he's managed to coordinate an entire Scouting outing into his own little "date", quietly sending out cancellation notices or engineering scheduling conflicts or rearranging plans as necessary to create a situation where the object of his affections has discovered only one boy waiting for him at a campsite where there should be a whole troop.

"But Scoutmaster, this trip is really important to me, please stay with me tonight!" he begs, looking up at Earl with big innocent blue eyes.

[eternalscoutmaster]

If he had any idea how much work had gone into setting this whole thing up, there might be less need for subterfuge at all. Earl's a man who can appreciate effort, certainly, and to have that work directed at him, for him... well. He'd be lying if he said that wouldn't make his heart probably skip a beat-- Mikado's not the only one who tends to find purchase in Scouting because his other friends moved on. Earl doesn't talk much about being stuck for so long at nineteen, very few people who get stuck at certain ages mention it much once they've moved on, but a lot of it was just... trying to get it right.

He isn't really sure if he ever got it right, or if he just got tired of trying. He imagines it's probably the latter, and that's what sort of adult he is. It is definitely the sort of adult he is when he gets to the place they're supposed to meet and discovers everyone else has backed out.

"You're not the only one," he says, probably a bit more wryly than he intends to, a bit hurt that everyone else would cancel after being so excited, but he follows it up with a smile. After all, he can't let down the one person who did show up, "But I'm sure we can have enough fun for all of them, if you still think it will be a good time," oh Earl. Phrasing. But he's still completely innocent about what this could even look like, much less what it actually is. After all, it's not as though Mikado isn't the one who still wants to go!

[totallysane]

The idea that Earl might be hurt by everyone not showing up hadn't really occurred to Mikado, which might be a slight flaw in his plan. He'd been so busy thinking about how to get the man alone in a setting where they wouldn't be interrupted that he hadn't thought about that aspect of things. For a second, that wry tone sparks something in him that might be guilt, but it quickly dissipates in the face of Earl's words.

"We'll have the best time ever, just you and me," Mikado promises almost solemnly, his eyes still glued to the older man's face. He dips his head when he realizes just how intently he's looking, stands there for a second leaning forward with the toes of his shoes digging into the sand, and then hurls himself at the older man, burying his head in Earl's chest and wrapping an arm around him.

"I'm so glad you came!"

[eternalscoutmaster]

"Oof!" sorry, Mikado, he's definitely not suddenly physically affectionate. Earl's got zero personal space-- something that Mikado has likely already learned several times over, but he rarely reaches out for others. He does hug back after a moment, calmer, the same sort of distant he usually is when Mikado's trying to make moves and Earl is just completely oblivious. And yet, his laugh is warm and the squeeze to Mikado's shoulder is plenty affectionate-- just maybe not the kind of affection he's looking for.

"Well, I can hardly refuse to go after that," he quips and ruffles Mikado's hair. "Come on, put your stuff in the truck, then. I guess we don't really need the van, after all," he sounds more amused by that, maybe, than wry, which is a good shift. He hasn't missed that Mikado tends to turn up for things alone or that he seems to drift away from everyone. He doesn't pry because he doesn't seem to be in any danger, but he's always been happy that he could provide some kind of escape from whatever he's escaping. This trip is no exception.

[totallysane]

That space between hugging and being hugged back feels rather like being squeezed from the inside, to Mikado. There's no breath to be had, as he waits for that response, anticipates it, begs his crush not to back off from him without reciprocating. Whether the scoutmaster is just always not prone to physical affection or it has something to do with his being a scout, Mikado doesn't know, but he does know that the hug is a bit chancy. When he gets the squeeze in return, everything starts moving again after that frozen moment, and he beams. Even the hair ruffle - which he's pretty sure teenage boys are supposed to protest on principle - isn't met with anything but sheer joy.

"Yes! I'm ready to go!" He grabs up his bag quickly, as if Earl might change his mind if he doesn't, and hauls it over to the truck. Mikado isn't terribly strong, but the way he moves speaks of determination, and Earl should know from experience that he's quick to resist any offer of help on a task he should be able to do alone. "Just think how much easier it will be to set things up! And we should... come up with something fun to do that we couldn't with a big group..."

[eternalscoutmaster]

The whooshing sound overhead could be a passing surveillance helicopter, but it might also be that going over Earl's head again. His stuff is already in the truck, so he just lets Mikado handle his own, only double checking that it's secured down out of habit,

"Something that we couldn't do with a large group, hm?" Earl thinks about that for a long moment, "We could always go further down the trails, if you think you're up for it. I was only planning on hiking for a short time before setting up camp, with a larger group. Not that I don't think some of the others couldn't handle it, but it gets harder to protect against things going wrong, the more people you have and I wouldn't want to be that isolated."

[totallysane]

After his bag is secured, Mikado goes to get into the truck himself, feeling strangely pleased at how taking the truck instead of the van makes this seem all the more like some kind of intimate getaway. The suggestion makes him feel even more like it's something special and different, and any guilt that might have struck him about this whole setup is quite definitely set aside by now.

This is going to be the best trip ever, he can just feel it.

"I can handle it," he says, after taking long enough to look like he's thought it over properly instead of just giving some kind of macho response. "If it's just me and you and no one else to have to worry about, it'll be really easy to keep a pace I can handle, right? And I'd really like to go further down the trail... I promise I'll let you know if it's too much. It's not like having a little kid to take with you..."
