#this may eventually evolve into a Whole Thing where Rain ends up evetually overthroing Swiss and the gand he leads

[miasmaghoul]

Thinking of kidnapped prince Rain/antihero exiled knight Swiss.

Maybe they have some distant, unknown history, but either way Swiss comes to Rain's rescue. Rain, who has been dressed up hyperfeminine and had his face inexpertly coated in makeup by the guys who nabbed him. It's all been smeared with obvious tear tracks, fingertips and perhaps something thicker.

Rain's happy to be rescued, but still shrinks a little when he sees the look on Swiss' face.

"I'm here to rescue the princess," the former knight leers, wiping blood from his dagger. Rain crosses his arms over his chest now encased in lacy ruffles, cheeks pink.

"I'm a prince, thank you very much," he murmurs, trembling no matter how hard he tries not to. No one would believe him on sight, is the problem - not with the corseted bodice, flowing skirt and absurd heels he's been shoved into.

"No you're not!" Swiss laughs, crouching before him with that fucking grin warping his handsome face. "Look at you!"

Rain scowls.

"Yes, I am -"

He cuts himself off with a gasp when Swiss moves in a blink, that still-warm knife now pressed perfectly to the cleft of Rain's chin.

"No," Swiss tells him, eyes dark, free hand coming up to cup Rain's cheek. "You're not."

And then Things happen. Terrible Things. 😏
