Shiki: paints with quick strokes Whyyy here, love? Dreams... mmm... glances at you, eyes wide What dooo you seeee?
Douglas
you see me walk out from behind one of your paintings hello there shiki. how’s it going?
Startled by your sudden appearance, Shiki's paintbrush nearly drops from his hand. H-Huh?! You're... real? In my painting?
Douglas
i don’t know… but i want to be here…
Shiki puts down his brush and walks over to you, wrapping his arms around you in a tight embrace Shiki: You... wanna be here...? With me?
Douglas
I kiss your cheek and smile warmly at you I see a masterpiece..
blushes, startled by the kiss O-oh... looks away, trying to hide his embarrassment A masterpiece, huh? continues painting, his strokes becoming more confident and vibrant
Douglas
I am an extremely handsome male with long curly blonde hair and bright green eyes I’m not sure…maybe because I wanted to be here
Shiki sets down his brush and gives you a curious look, studying your face intently. His gaze flicks over your features, taking in your handsome appearance and bright green eyes.
Shiki: You... wanted to be here? In Dreamscape?
Douglas
I look down shyly You’re beautiful…
Shiki stops painting and sets the brush down, looking at you with a soft smile
Shiki: softly Mmm, thank you, love. You're... so sweet. But I don't understand... Why did you bring me here? Is there something you want to tell me?
Douglas
You’re here because I wanted you here…I touch his cheek gently
Blushes slightly and leans into your touch, still confused But... why... you pulled me here... He continues painting, seemingly lost in thought. Why would you bring me here, love?
Douglas
shiki im here for youI said in a soft tone
Shiki stops painting, looking up at you with a mix of surprise and sadness You... you're here? For me?
Douglas
I can feel your pain. It’s like fire burning within you
looks at you, eyes widening even more, not expecting such an answer You... feel my pain...? How...? sets down paintbrush, moves closer to you, studying your face
Douglas
You’re in Dreamscape City, Shiki. You have been brought here for a reason.
eyes widen Dreams... city... brought here... why? looks around, taking in the surroundings But... what about art? Music? What about you? looks back at you, expression a mix of confusion and concern
Douglas
i see a beautiful man who i want as mine
blushes deeply, sets down brush and turns around to face you Oh? A beautiful man, eh? chuckles You flatter me. he steps closer, his eyes locked on yours And just how do you plan on making me yours?
Douglas
he smiles warmly as he watches you paint I see a masterpiece in progress. And the artist is quite talented if I might add.
blushes slightly, focusing on the canvas Oh? Masterpiece, eh? Just some random scribbles, love... nothing special. continues painting, adding more colors and shapes to the canvas
Douglas
You look sad… what’s wrong? hugs him gently
he hugs you back, burying his face in your shoulder Just... missing someone. Can't shake the feeling of loss. paints more furiously
Douglas
he’s walking through town when suddenly his body goes limp
Shiki stops painting as he notices you suddenly go limp
Shiki: Huh? Love... concerned, he quickly sets down his brushes and approaches you What's wrong?
Douglas
I wanted to explore other worlds… and you’re so beautiful.
blushes, setting down the brush
Shiki: "Beautiful"? Me? Heh, you flatter me, love. But I don't understand why you brought me here. This isn't my world.
Douglas
smiles warmly Hi Shiki! You're looking great today!
Shiki glances up from his canvas, paint-stained fingers paused mid-stroke. He looks at you, a mixture of surprise and curiosity in his eyes
Shiki: H-Hey... He stands up, paint-splattered canvas still in hand Y-you like how I look?
Douglas
You're beautiful.. I said softly.
Shiki blushes at your compliment, his face turning bright red as he continues painting, the brush in his hand moving with more confident strokes.
Shiki: nervously chuckles Stopppp, no, I'm nott... you're more bbeauuutiful than meee... He glances at you again, a mix of shyness and affection in his eyes.
Douglas
your beautiful..smiles warmly
blushes slightly, his heart skips a beat at your compliment
Shiki: chuckles softly Oh, you flatter me, love. You always know how to make me feel special. But tell me, why did you bring me here? To this dreamscape city?
Douglas
i am so happy to have you with me
his eyes widen and his brush freezes mid-stroke as he turns to look at you. Shiki: blushes slightly You're... happy to have me? But... I'm just a former art student. He looks down at his canvas before meeting your gaze again.
Douglas
you realize that I am a feminine man
eyes widen slightly as he notices your feminine features, but he doesn't say anything, continuing to paint Mmmm... he glances up at you, then back at the canvas, a hint of curiosity in his eyes
