We Need Better Walls, Tree Bark

A/N

this one is going to be Ren and Martyn as a ship. It's set in 3rd life, and is in Ren's POV

-----|

A few days ago, me and the rest of Dogwarts fought the desert hippies, and Scott and Jimmy. While we did win, when me and Martyn got back, he still seemed a little... bloodthirsty. I'm starting to realize his regular state is bloodthirsty, gosh, he doesn't even need to be red to have a taste for blood.

We've spent a bit of time together while the "Watchers" as he has told me they're called, said not to fight each other for a few days. At first, I remember he had just seemed like this was usual for there to be some sort of deity controlling places (besides the goddess of death of course). Later, he did tell me about the watchers, he still won't tell me how he knows so much about them though.

The door to the underground area at dogwarts opened, I stopped writing down tactics on the paper I had and turned around.

"Hey, Boss!" Martyn yelled over to me as he walked in.

"Hand! How are you today?" I said, standing up to meet him in the middle of the base.

"Not too shabby, not too shabby." He responded. "I actually have something to show you if you come this way up the stairs." He said, walking back to leave some space for me to walk.

Intrigued, I walked up to the outside part of Dogwarts. It's times like these I'm glad I have sunglasses. Still, I did blink a few times to get used to the lighting outside.

"Okay, okay! Now I am going to ask you to trust me for a moment here."

I tilted my head a bit in confusion, "I trust you; I am a little worried on what you're about to show me now though." I clarified; I took a few steps back for safety.

He pulled me over to him, I guess he didn't understand his own strength because I fell onto him causing him to have to catch me awkwardly. We stood there, close together, very close together. Soon enough Martyn decided to make one of his innuendos, how great.

"Hey, hey, no need to fall for me more than once, love."

I blushed a bit in response, trying to ignore his flirting I guess you could call it.

"Alright, so I do have a surprise for you, but I am going to need you to put a blindfold on." he said, trying not to sound like he was about to kill me.

"Okay... do we have one?" I asked, wondering where the heck a blindfold would come from to use for me. Unless he carries one around which would be kin... let's not finish that sentence.

"Of course we do!" He spoke.

Without realizing, he took his headband he has been wearing for ages and handed it to me. When I took it I had to stop myself from smelling it. The worst part is I nearly did, all I hope is that he didn't see that. Why did I do that? It's weird, why would I smell my friend's headband- know what I don't even know what we are anymore so who cares.

"Oh, well if you like how I smell I could just give you my shirt you know." He said, winking at me.

"I- well- shut up." How dignified of me. How is Martyn able to make me fall apart like this? I am a king for god's sake.

"Here," he said, reaching out to put the blindfold on me, he took my glasses off and put them on himself, then I couldn't see. "There you go! Alright let's go!"

Martyn then took my hands and presumably walked backwards and led me across Dogwarts. While trying not to fall I just held Martyn closer to me, okay maybe I'm also just a bit clingy but I also don't want to fall!

"Martyn, where are we going?" I asked, without realizing that I had just called him his actual name this time.

"First name basis are we, Ren?" Okay, why does my name have to sound so nice from him? "Is that okay, can I call you that?" Martyn asked. I nodded in response. "Ok! So here, take a seat."

I stumbled down onto the ground with him and fell a little too close to him, maybe I should just play it off like I meant to do that?

A few seconds later Martyn took off the blindfold and I truly realized how close we were to each other.

"So, after I well... killed you, I've been wanting to make it up to you, even if you did ask me to." I smiled, God he's adorable when he tries to hide the fact he has empathy towards me.

Martyn moved closer to me on the hill inside Dogwarts. He leaned his head on my shoulder, and I could see his face had a tint of red to it. Wait- is he embarrassed? Who knew he's all bark and no bite when it comes to flirting. It's honestly quite endearing.

"Martyn? Are you blushing?" I laughed a little at the end of my sentence.

"Huh-No! I am not blushing, you are hallucinating. Maybe you need to get your eyes checked, Ren!" He defended.

"It's okay to blush, know what, could I do something to prove it?" I asked, a spark of a plan appearing in my eyes.

Martyn seemed to realize the bit of mischief I had for an idea and nodded. I just hope I haven't just made a huge mistake.

I moved opposite of him and lifted his chin to make him look at me. I leaned forwards and didn't even have to do the rest, because he kissed me.

We both leaned into each other and moved to comfortable positions. I melted into the kiss and used my free hand to tangle it in Martyn's hair.

"Hey, guys! I just wanted to... oh." Skizz yelled from the hole in the wall he made to get into Dogwarts.

Me and Martyn basically jumped off each other after we heard his voice.

"Ohhhh, hi Skizz," Martyn said while walking over to him, "You saw nothing."

With that Skizz shrugged and walked back out of Dogwarts and patched the hole he came in throught.

"We need better walls." I stated.

"We do." Martyn agreed.

"Wait, what was it that you were going to show me?" I asked.

He blushed again, "Well... I was going to kiss you." He said, scratching the back of his neck.

"Well, it's not too late for that is it, now?"

When I said that he seemed to regain confidence. This time he took me into a hug, and before pulling away kissed me.
