ANNOUNCEMENTS: UPDATED 12/16/2017
Happy Holidays, fellow Kinkmemers! I have returned and have no reasonable excuse for my absence except LIFE. I will be working on updating the archives. If anyone sees anything amiss, please let me know.
I am also hoping to find another Mod and an Archivist.
The more dedicated people we have in this Meme the less chance of it dying. I admit that being the sole keeper of the Meme is not great for the fandom. If something were to happen to me, for good, this place would go the way of the Fallout Kink Meme. Let's not let that happen! If anyone would be interested in Modding/Archiving, please drop me a line. Thanks! <3
Alone (M!DB/Romlyn) (13/?)
Date: 2013-04-13 06:00 pm (UTC)He had read enough to know that it was a place he didn’t need to see for himself. But if Serano decided to go there he would follow without question.
He wondered what it would be like to live in a foreign country full of people who would probably hate him on principle. But then he remembered he had already learned that when he had come to Skyrim.
But this time it would be different. He would be fine. He would be no penniless fugitive and he wouldn’t be alone. Serano would be by his side.
Still, he was curious.
“What does your family think about… us?” He tried to gesture between them both, and whatever it was that was there.
“They don’t know about the marriage, and I intend to keep it that way.”
Romlyn flinched as if Serano had hit him. They had been married for half a year, but still the altmer wanted to keep their relationship a secret; the only reason Romlyn could come up with for such a behavior was that Serano was ashamed of him. He wasn’t sure what was so objectionable about him, but elitist racists could probably come up with a lot of reasons.
It hurt.
But what did all of that mean? Serano wanted to go back to Alinor and live with his family again, but he didn’t want them to know that he and Romlyn were married? How would he go about keeping that hidden?
No. Don’t finish that thought. Stop right there.
He would have to leave Romlyn behind.
For a second he forgot how to breathe.
His knees started to hurt because of the uncomfortable position. He kept shifting his weight even though it didn’t help in the slightest.
Serano didn’t seem to be in any hurry to move off of him.
The altmer’s next words caught him off guard. “Do you want to have children?”
It was a cruel question, immediately after the altmer’s dismissive comments and after he had listed all the reasons why they couldn’t have children. Mustn’t have any. But he had to admit that the thought of raising a child together with that man was making him feel… something.
He couldn’t even imagine what it would be like. They both didn’t know the first thing about how to treat children. Most likely it would end badly, with a traumatized child, a depressed Romlyn and a stressed Serano who went on a killing spree to vent his frustration from having to play hide-and-seek. Or they could all be dead tomorrow, what with all the dragons burning their way through the province.
Or Serano could one day wake up and decide that this makeshift family was not worth the effort.
“Yes, I do. Badly.”
It wasn’t logical. Maybe it didn’t need to be. The man he loved had asked him if he wanted to have children, and so there had been only one answer.
“Serano?”
“Yes?”
“Why did you marry me?”
