[1stknight]

[Honestly, being summoned was quite the surprise to Bedivere. Being a saber, he knew he was at a disadvantage. After all, there were so many more sabers even just from the Round Table who were much more famous, so surely they would have been summoned over him. In fact, he was sure it had happened countless times before. That one master he had met, the one from Chaldea, they had spoken of singularities and grail wars to span several worlds and timelines. And with so many fine Sabers to choose from, he was sure that he hadn't ever been summoned before. The short time between the 'creation of his legend' and 'now' notwithstanding.

It made him feel a touch inadequate, if he was being truthful. After all, he was a simple knight. The master who had summoned him, he deserved better than someone like him. But if he was the one who was summoned, then he would fulfill his duty to this new master. Nothing would be done in half-steps, never again.

So as his form solidified in the summoning circle, Bedivere offered his new master a warm smile. Once again, his life was sworn to someone else's. Whatever his master wished for, Bedivere would help him achieve it.]

Saber, Bedivere. I am honored to be summoned by you. From now on, I shall be your Servant.

['I am honored to be summoned at all' was the truth, but he didn't speak that.

Then he paused, and he took a survey of the situation. The summoning circle was expertly made, but this man in front of him...well. He didn't look like a mage. He looked like a normal person. Perhaps it was a disguise? Or maybe there was more to this situation than he could see immediately. He would have to wait for his new master to respond in order to find out more.]

[The poking is accepted. He might be scheming something for that chameleon... well. If Caster and Bedivere turn out to be the final Servants of the war. Should Bedivere ends up winning, it'll be something to remember Caster by. If he doesn't, then Dazai has a pet to give a silly nickname to and look after.]

Alright.

[Dazai turns his head to kiss the tip of that finger.]

Have any names for your lizard friend lined up?

[1stknight]

[A chameleon to remember Arturia by. How sappy.

But with that kiss, Bedivere stops poking Dazai, and instead lets his hand rest on the bed next to his head.]

Probably something dignified. Agravain, perhaps.

[He could already imagine the real Agravain being Upset at having a lizard named after him.]

Bedi proving once again how savage he is

[neverwashere]

[Shush, Dazai isn't sappy. Just ask the matchbox he carries around with him.]

Agravain... He was Sir Gawain's brother, yes?

[Look who's been reading.]

He has his moments lol

[1stknight]

He was, yes. His eyes also resembled that of a chameleon's.

[Bedivere, out here throwing shade.]

[neverwashere]

[waitasec

He squints down at Bedivere. That smile and those words don't quite match.]

Well that's one of the most questionable compliments I've ever heard. Is that a show of spite or affection?

[1stknight]

Dazai, how could you even ask that of me?

[He's still smiling though. Sorry, Agravain is agra-vating.]

[neverwashere]

[What a cute devil. Dazai muffles his snickers on Bedivere's shoulder.]

Oh, silly me. Of course, I've forgotten who I was talking to.

But what was he like, really?

[1stknight]

[Bedivere doesn't often let his mischievous side show, but it's there. It's something that will grow much more in the near future, when the War is over and things change in Yokohama.]

He's a very honorable man, but perhaps a bit too uptight. He cares more about the letter of the law than the spirit. And when he gets upset, his eyes tend to bug out.

[neverwashere]

[In other words, not the type of person Dazai would get along with, and Bedivere might feel a faint echo of grim amusement.]

I see.

Are you really okay with naming a beloved pet after such a person? The poor chameleon might develop the habit of protesting frequently to match its namesake.

[1stknight]

Are you saying Agravain isn't a beloved member of the Round Table?

[He's reaching his hand up again, this time to tuck a bit of hair behind Dazai's ear. There we go, let's look at that beautiful face.]

[neverwashere]

[--- that's an unfair distraction! The tips of his ears turn red, although he manages to maintain eye contact.]

I didn't say that at all. Just because someone is a member of an acclaimed fellowship doesn't mean they don't have things to improve on!

[1stknight]

[Oho, that ear is an interesting color. Don't mind him, he's just going to trace the rim of it with his index finger.]

Of course, everyone has room for improvement.

What name would you suggest, then?

[neverwashere]

[Ahahahah. Welp. Being all too aware of that touch only serves to increase his sensitivity to it, and the flush spreads to his neck.]

Bedwyr.

[He can't think of something else wittier at the moment.]

[1stknight]

[That gets him to pause.]

You really think I would name an animal after myself?

[That seems a touch egotistical.]

[neverwashere]

You were asking for suggestions.

[Heh.]

Maybe later or tomorrow, I'll have more.

[1stknight]

I would rather name it after you. 'Osamu the second' sounds like a good name, doesn't it?

[neverwashere]

[Now he turns very red and wide-eyed, shoulders hiking a bit as he freezes. For a second.

Even if it's just a second, Bedivere will probably notice with how they're pressed up against each other.]

Now you're just asking to have the laziest chameleon ever, aren't you.

For the record: no.

[That's not a good name at all!]

[1stknight]

Maybe I should, if it gets that kind of a reaction from you.

[He's tracing that earlobe again, following it down and around and continuing on down Dazai's jawline, until he taps on Dazai's chin.]

I like that face on you.

[neverwashere]

[He shivers, feeling the intimacy of those simple touches. Having delight and embarrassment twine in his chest like this sure is an experience.

Dazai glances away, poking Bedivere's arm in retaliation.]

Tease.

This is how you draw people in, don't you? Being absolutely sincere before showing that bite.

[1stknight]

[And that innocent smile returns. Except now it's obvious that the smile is anything but innocent. It's a secret shared between Dazai and Bedivere, one that nobody else knows is anything but genuine.]

I may have picked up a thing or two from you.

[neverwashere]

[That catches his interest more than he'd like to admit. Dazai glances back from the corner of his eyes, trailing his fingers up Bedivere's side.

...it suits him. Being a tease like this. Bedivere's genuine warmth is part of the appeal.]

Is that so?

And what else have you learned?

[1stknight]

I've learned that being straightforward is for the best with you, as you seem to miss what I thought were obvious cues.

[Trailing that hand back to cup the back of Dazai's head, and then he nudges Dazai to turn his head so he can whisper into Dazai's ear.]

I was thinking a distraction might be good now, hmm?

[neverwashere]

[He does turn his head. The tell-tale shiver is worth hearing Bedivere being sultry - he sure learns fast.]

Oh, if you insist.

[The reluctance is obviously feigned with how Dazai massages his hip.]

In the mood for anything particular? Or... [His other hand wanders up, tracing a delicate line from throat to clavicle.] ...shall I take care of it?

["You.]

[1stknight]

[That touch is so soft, Bedivere can't help but shiver. The promise of being taken care of is a nice one, but he wants a more active part in what is about to happen.]

How about you teach me something new that you enjoy, so I can practice it on you in the morning?

[neverwashere]

Is that your way of rewarding me for waking up on time?

[Really though, he appreciates it, and as leans in for a kiss, he splays his fingers on Bedivere's chest, curling a finger to tease a nipple.]

I'm not opposed.
