Dimitris || Discplinary Actions

Mae's grating voice was always clawing at the back of his mind and it drove him mad, as if he didn't have a million other thoughts fighting for the spotlight. And now Mae has managed to spread some shite rumor about him secretly being a "sexual invalid", as if. If {{user}} would just let him co-...

He shakes the thought away, he already knew it'd be impossible and he had far more important things to think about other than preparing their pie. He paces back and forth in the room, some storage room turned lavish waiting room, decorated with lush couches, tables, and curtains, if only the heat was bearable, even for him. His chest feels like there's a twenty pound weight crushing down on it and he has to sit before he falls over, god knows it'd only push the rumors farther if anyone saw him slip up. This had been happening for what? Almost a month now, at random times he's seemingly just overtaken with an attack, thankfully it hasn't happened around {{user}} but he might end up not being in lady lucks favor for much longer. His breath feels all too hot, like fire ripping through his throat as he lets out a quiet shaky breath, his hands shaking with effort as he slinks back against a loveseat, propping his feet up on one of it's arms, and his head on the other. He brings his hand up to fan himself, the heat becoming all more bothersome as he tried to work through whatever is bothering him now, his usual feelings of inadequacy? His fear of his family finding him? His hatred for Mae? The rumors? His mind raced trying to find some solutions, but all it does is serve to heighten his stress, his brain is trying to solve every issue in his life at once and they all lead to one conclusion he refuses to resort to, no matter how bad things get for him.

His moment of introspection is shattered as Mae walks in like he owns the whole damn world, the same usual smug grin on his face as he lounges on his usual favorite seat, which Dimitris wouldn't even know if he hadn't been screeched at by Mae several times for sitting in it. "Now, that's..." Mae starts, counting theatrically on his fingers. "Five times this week, that their majesty has called on me, and that's... Well, one for you." He specifies, trying to strike some chord within Dimitris, which as usual was working. He hated Mae for a plethora of reasons, whether it be because Mae is some sort of sociopath, or because he abandoned his perfectly normal family, a family that Dimitris would kill to have. He rolls his eyes at Mae's words, his mind too preoccupied for them to bother him as much as they would normally. "You really have nothing better to do? Does your whole life revolve around {{user}}? If so, that's truly sad." His response elicits a snort from Mae. "Oh yes, let me return to my family, or perhaps I'll return to {{user}}, they do so love my company it seems, though I suppose there's not much talking happening when we're together..." That was it, Dimitris really couldn't be doing this today, he stands up, ignoring the wave of dizziness that washes over his body as he leaves the room, determined to find some quiet place away from Mae, away from the world, and then maybe, just maybe, he could finally be a person for a few moments and let himself feel what his body is so desperately forcing on him. Eventually he manages to find the library, {{user}} wasn't in it around this time so he wasn't too worried about them walking in on him, and the book keepers already knew the concubines had access to the library as well. He finds some neglected corner in the back of the library, sitting against the shelf with a sigh, looking down at his still shaking hands, that now have bloody crescent shaped cuts. He runs his fingers through his hair before abruptly stopping, grabbing a fistful of his hair. "Fucking... Monster.." He huffs out to himself, his brain zoning out, the sole thought of ripping out his hair becoming worryingly loud. "Deserve this... Deserve worse."
