#01 - Comfort

Myomut finds it nice to talk to Tejirof's pet monkey - not that he ever opened his mouth, but the two of them has a special sort of understanding between each other, and it puts him at ease.

―○―○―○―○―

#02 - Kiss

When Vaiz watches Tejirof and Myomut kiss, he is a little jealous, a lot turned on, and a lot wishing he could watch them kiss all night - but he knows that he's more likely to fall asleep, no matter how interested he is.

―○―○―○―○―

#03 - Soft

When you're used to sleeping outdoors, getting to use a bed for a few nights is a luxury, and even the roughest sheets can be really soft against skin; though skin against skin is much better than any fireplace.

―○―○―○―○―

#04 - Pain

When Vaiz claws his back, Tejirof winces and buries his lips against the Killer's collarbones to muffle a pleased groan; it makes Vaiz pause a few moments, then he runs his nails across his muscular back, and lets out a pleased gasp when Tejirof tugs at his hair.

―○―○―○―○―

#05 - Potatoes

Both Tejirof and Myomut are not picky eaters; Vaiz is technically not picky either, but they all know that he really prefers unhealthy candy over healthy vegetables, and it can cause a fair amount of peculiar stews.

―○―○―○―○―

#06 - Rain

Tejirof doesn't like rain, it reminds him of the gray lonely days before Pentnova, and makes him think of the unsexy, gray gravestone under which she now rests, so when it rains, he tries to find a distraction; he's glad that sometimes, he doesn't need to spend that time alone.

―○―○―○―○―

#07 - Chocolate

Tejirof grunts when Vaiz kisses him, and pushes him over to Myomut, who blinks in silent surprise when he's kissed with a lips a little sticky and very sweet from the sweets Vaiz had just been eating.

―○―○―○―○―

#08 - Happiness

Tejirof is an orphan, so every time he thinks about how he has found his very own pseudo-family in a sweets-crazy space-case and a non-speaking hero, he can't help but feel really happy, and how proud he would have been to introduce them to the people he grew up with at Kalinka Abbey.

―○―○―○―○―

#09 - Telephone

This far, communication across distance is hard, and keeping a threeway relationship going when all three members in it tends to be at completely different locations on most occasions is a bit of a challenge - not to the three in question, but to their companions gunning for them.

―○―○―○―○―

#10 - Ears

Tejirof has sensitive ears, which he found out in his teens after coming across a book involving ear fetish, it had been amusing to find and read, surprising to find out he liked it, and it made him happy to have someone indulge him.

―○―○―○―○―

#11 - Name

Tejirof and Vaiz have made it a bit of a game to get Myomut to say their names; as the hero is so silent and calm, it is always very pleasing to see and hear him lose control even for a moment.

―○―○―○―○―

#12 - Sensual

A hobby of Tejirof's is to tease his lovers, and that includs things which involves bedsport, but sometimes it seems as if they don't react to his actions, which sometimes make him feel as if it is somewhat useless to even try to be sensual.

―○―○―○―○―

#13 - Death

Both Tejirof and Vaiz have lost people; they don't know if Myomut has lost anyone, from what little he has said, nothing is about himself, and while there are rumours and guesses, there is nothing definite about his past; and while they are curious about it, it isn't exactly easy to just ask the hero something that require a longer answer.

―○―○―○―○―

#14 - Sex

When three people are involved, sex can be a bit tricky at times, but thankfully, Tejirof is imaginitive (not to mention that he has read a huge amount of erotic books on the subject) and one could not say that Vaiz and Myomut are unable to be adventurous.

―○―○―○―○―

#15 - Touch

Tejirof curls up around Vaiz's back, relaxing into the warmth and when he notices Myomut getting into bed, he grabs the man's wrist to pull him in so he can pet his hair.

―○―○―○―○―

#16 - Weakness

Is being together with someone that could become your enemy at any given moment because they works for the highest paying a weakness, they had been asked at least once by each person that learned of their relationship with Tejirof, but they both ageed that no, it probably isn't, although it has not been tested yet.

―○―○―○―○―

#17 - Tears

None of them are the type to cry, but when you get repeatedly slapped by a monkey, it is a little hard not to after a while.

―○―○―○―○―

#18 - Speed

They all have their own speed at doing things; most of the time either Myomut or Tejirof finishes whatever they were doing first, but once in a while they find that Vaiz can do something faster than them, which does not include sweets.

―○―○―○―○―

#19 - Wind

 

Even though it keeps him awake, Vaiz likes the roaring wind, it helps him clear his head when it howls around him, and while people think that he is empty-headed almost constantly, it's only at those times that he doesn't think at all.

―○―○―○―○―

#20 - Freedom

Freedom is relative, he thought; to him it is being able to take the jobs that he wishes to take and to do whatever he wants to with the money that he earns; to Vaiz is to be able to eat whatever he wants whenever he wants and nap whenever and wherever he wants to; and for Myomut, it is so much more than they can possibly grasp.

―○―○―○―○―

#21 - Life

Life is fragile and it is something everyone ought to be aware of, yet not rarely, he would find that people do not see that life is something valuable, and everybody is surprised when he gets upset about it.

―○―○―○―○―

#22 - Jealousy

Tejirof is an open minded man, way too open minded according to many, but even as he smile and flirt and make inappropriate jokes, he gets jealous when watching people flirt hard with his boyfriends.

―○―○―○―○―

#23 - Hands

They all would have had rough palms from using weapons most of their lives, but one doesn't, and it is a little amusing and a little envious, and it made Tejirof ask, to receive a confused expression in return; "is it a hero quality to have such soft hands?"

―○―○―○―○―

#24 - Taste

 

They all have their distinct favorite taste, yet the taste of each other seemed to be the most addictive out of all of them.

―○―○―○―○―

#25 - Devotion

Their childhoods have been very different, as are their situations, yet somehow they all have similar values - even if it, to others, seems as if Tejirof isn't as invested or devoted as the other two.

―○―○―○―○―

#26 - Forever

For them, there will be no happily ever after like there are in fairy tales, no matter how pure a soul one particular member in their trio has, or how they wish to be together until the end; they live in a world where any battle can end that forever, and thinking about "forever" turning into "nevermore" is pretty horrifying.

―○―○―○―○―

#27 - Blood

It's unsurprisingly easy to cut your tongue of Vaiz's sharp teeth when you kiss him, Myomut has noticed; he doesn't mind all that much, but perhaps it would be good not to be used to the faint taste of blood almost every time he gives the dark haired man a deep kiss.

―○―○―○―○―

#28 - Sickness

Vaiz and Tejirof looks over to Myomut when Myomut sneezes - it's hard to imagine Myomut making any kind of sound without meaning to, so this one takes them by a lot of surprise.

―○―○―○―○―

#29 - Melody

Myomut doesn't talk much, but sometimes he plays the flute; most of the times he does, it's for the sake of some spell - Vaiz has yet to figure out how that really works - but sometimes he chooses to play for them, and that's really nice.

―○―○―○―○―

#30 - Star

"Which are there more of, livers or stars?" Vaiz asked once, and Tejirof and Myomut both has to think about that question for a fair while, (with amused turns of their lips) until Myomut shakes his head and Tejirof says "Does it matter?"

―○―○―○―○―

#31 - Home

They don't live together, considering they all are on the road most of the time, but if anybody asks where their home is located, only one is completely unabashed when saying something so cliche as "where my heart is," which definitely is something Tejirof can not say out loud.

―○―○―○―○―

#32 - Confusion

One time Vaiz starts talking a whole lot, and it only makes Myomut and Tejirof worry at first, because while he isn't as silent as Myomut, he is not a person that suddenly starts talking like a fountain sprays water.

―○―○―○―○―

#33 - Fear

There's not really anything that Vaiz fears, and even if he will get scared at times, it's expressed more in surprise than in fear; however, there is one thing he does fear, and that is losing more people that he cares about, it is why he had accepted the dragon's curse in the first place, and he is pretty sure the other two knows about that, even if they say nothing about it, and he guesses that because of that, he is also sure that they won't give him any reason to worry.

―○―○―○―○―

#34 - Lightning/Thunder

Maybe it is possible to use bad weather to amplify magic, Vaiz thinks one night when he is at the Puzzle Academy, looking out over the thunder dancing across the sky; he can certainly ask Tejirof and probably Myomut too, but it might be fun to surprise them, if he manages to come up with something good.

―○―○―○―○―

#35 - Bonds

Tejirof has a lot of siblings, in a way, from having grown up at an orphanage, and it was at Kalinka Abbey that he had found a place to belong the very first time in his life, but even the place that Pentnova had loved so much was painful to return to these days, so he is very glad for the support he was getting without his support realizing how much of a support they are to him.

―○―○―○―○―

#36 - Market

Once in a while, Tejirof is reminded how much of a pain in the ass it could be to go shopping with Myomut; it isn't that he gets lost, like Vaiz does, but he does have a tendency to forget to inform them when he stops to look at something, and although Tejirof knows that neither of them does it out of any ill intent, he wishes that it had been appropriate to put them on leashes or something, just to make sure they don't get separated so easily.

―○―○―○―○―

#37 - Technology

There are many a thing in the world which Vaiz does not understand - he isn't really a man interested in complicated stuff because overthinking it isn't much of interest to him - so every time Tejirof wants to show them some new invention somewhere he can only stare in confusion as Tejirof explains what something is and how it is supposed to work.

―○―○―○―○―

#38 - Gift

When somebody don't have many possessions, and don't care about having possessions, it is hard to give that somebody any gifts, but some day he will come up to something that might show his appreciation at least for a fraction.

―○―○―○―○―

#39 - Smile

Vaiz doesn't smile very often, not truly, though he does feel joy more often than he shows - so when he smiles a smile as bright as a summer sky, it's breathtaking.

―○―○―○―○―

#40 - Innocence

It is not hard to imagine that Myomut is a pure person, because he is; it is not hard to imagine that Tejirof is the opposite of a pure person, because he doesn't even try to hide it; on the other hand, figuring out what part of the purity-impurity spectrum Vaiz was on is pretty tricky even for a clever person.

―○―○―○―○―

#41 - Completion

Vaiz is easily distracted, and thus can leave things half-finished in favor of doing something else, so he seems to be pretty proud with himself when he actually finishes something - Tejirof just wishes that one of those completed tasks had not been to braid all of their hair in small braids with colorful beads in them, because they look ridiculous and it will take so much time to undo all the braids afterwards.

―○―○―○―○―

#42 - Clouds

It is pretty funny, actually, how Vaiz is able to see the most strage kind of candy in the clouds, always the most farfetched kinds without them looking even the slightest bit like the shapes of the clouds; amusing, odd, and absurd, just like the man himself.

―○―○―○―○―

#43 - Sky

The sky is as vast as the ocean, and as blue as the sky--or so Vaiz has claimed in an attempt at being poetic; it is true, obviously so, and it is cute, but it is also ridiculous and makes a lot of people laugh--Vaiz continues with his little poem and it only becomes even more silly than it had started, even though he had tried to be romantic.

―○―○―○―○―

#44 - Heaven

Tejirof grew up in a religious setting, but if he cared for the beliefs or not he didn't always know; at least he hopes that if there is such a thing as Heaven and Hell, he could introduce his beloved to the spirit of his most respected person.

―○―○―○―○―

#45 - Hell

Where they might end up after death is questionable; not when it came to Myomut he is sure, but him and Tejirof is harder, though he knows that Tejirof really is a very good person, but he has done some things that isn't as nice; he had promised his most important person to protect her and because of him, she went through horrible suffering, as did his brother and his brother's love, and he can't forget about the pain that he caused such important people.

―○―○―○―○―

#46 - Sun

Myomut has a very pure smile, Vaiz thinks, as he watches the other Killer listen to his servants talking; it's a little like a big sun, that's really warming even when it's not directed at him.

―○―○―○―○―

#47 - Moon

The nights of the full moon, when they're far apart, they look up at it, and for a few moments they feel a little bit closer.

―○―○―○―○―

#48 - Waves

The moment that he realized he harboured romantic feelings not only towards one person, but towards two, he felt as if he was crushed by a shockwave of confusion and distress, not because he had sworn to never fall in love again (he had not), but because despite the years that had passed since his loss, he felt as if he was not ready to face his fears of losing someone - two someone's, so suddenly - again, but as he thought about it, the smaller the waves became, and eventually they only hit him like small waves once in a while, and now he has mostly overcome his fears.

―○―○―○―○―

#49 - Hair

Myomut inclines his head up, giving Vaiz a quizzical look, expression asking why he is pulling at his hair; in response, Vaiz only hums, untangling a small knot he has gotten a finger stuck in, and continues to run his fingers through the soft brown tresses.

―○―○―○―○―

#50 - Supernova

When something explodes it doesn't necessarily disappear without a trace, although that surely happens at times - when you notice that something is on the brim of exploding, you want to protect what is most important to you, even if the cost might be high, and to him, those that he cares about is too important to not pull out of harms way, even if it meant that he might get harmed instead.
