[adistraction]

[ he laughs a bit when he sees the cat ears perk up. ]

I started noticing them a few days ago.

[ he crinkles his nose a little and just leans into his hands. ]

…do you…like them?

[narcolepsy]

[ the vampire is going to very gently rub the ears between his fingers, carefully petting him. ]

They're very cute...

[adistraction]

[ he looks amused because of how gentle the touching is… but then he softens a little more. Maybe because of sleep. Maybe because it’s Baein. ]

Are you hungry at all?

[narcolepsy]

[ baein seems to withdraw a little even if he doesn't move, but it only lasts for a second before he relents slightly. ]

Mm... only a little. It's fine, I can manage.

[adistraction]

[ he feels that and his shoulders slump faintly. ]

It’s okay. Lennon probably tastes better, anyway. I just thought I’d ask in case you were.

[ he brushes it off, not wanting Bae to feel any pressure because honestly that’s the last thing he wants, and slowly moves to get comfortable somewhere. ]

[narcolepsy]

[ baein looks startled, a little panicked for a moment. ]

N-no, that's not... that's not what I meant.

[ fidgeting, the prince tries to figure out what to say. ]

I'm just... I apologize. I think my reflexive reaction is just to feel repulsed... by myself. For... for imagining it. For...

[ swallowing, baein ducks his head and rubs at the back of his neck and then forward to his face, voice quieting. this is the first time he even dares to admit this to anyone. ]

For wanting to.

[adistraction]

[ too far away.

That’s something Hunter is realizing. He doesn’t like when Baein is too far away. All of his senses tune in and when there’s a distance that seems too big…it makes his fingers itchy.

Instinct makes him want to comfort him.

He reaches for the vampire and hums quietly, bottom lip being worries between his teeth as he tries to get Baein to come closer again. ]

I know you don’t like being what you are. But when I look at you, I don’t see a vampire that wants to eat everyone in the treehouse. You’re just Bae. Sweet, sexy, cozy Bae. You’re not bad…and you have needs. You might not like them but they’re part of you… if you’re hungry — eat.

[narcolepsy]

[ it's almost impossible to resist the faint pink flush that spreads over his cheeks when hunter compliments him. baein doesn't really agree all the time, but it fills him with a warmth he can't, and won't, shake. ]

Mm... it's... I almost always am. But... I don't like that. That it's always there. As if it can't be sated.

[ he shifts a little where he stands, but he doesn't pull away this time. ]

[adistraction]

[ Hunter stops gnawing at his lip and gently tugs on Bae.

Closer.

But he moves at the same time to close the little distance between them. Brushing the back of his fingers over the others cool cheek and tucking his hair back. ]

Maybe that’s because you’re not taking enough. Or…maybe you just need to take it more regularly. You have options, Bae. Don’t suffer when you don’t have to.

[narcolepsy]

It's not suffering...

[ his voice trails off as hunter brings them closer together, and because of the topic, baein finds his senses automatically tune in to the warmth of life of another person in front of him. if his eyes flash red, he doesn't notice it. it's very subtle and soft but it's there, in how they slowly take on a more saturated hue. ]

[adistraction]

Isn’t it?

[ it’s subtle but Hunter is surprisingly honed into Baes energy, his vibration… his eyes lid a little and he lightly licks his bottom lip. ]

I’m with you a lot…you could take a little when you wake up. A little when you sleep. And save Lennon for the…longer…meals.

[narcolepsy]

[ something inside baein feels like it's tangling in a jumble, and he swallows thickly. the vampire part of him is very in tune with this idea, meanwhile baein himself feels at odds with it.

but maybe... if... since it's hunter, it's okay. ]

I... maybe...

[adistraction]

[ Hunter watches Baein carefully before he leans in to kiss him softly. ]

Just consider it. It might help.

[ a little smile pulls at his lips and he takes a breath. ]

Come to bed.

[narcolepsy]

[ opening and closing his mouth, the vampire settles for nodding shakily instead, and he follows hunter if he tugs him along, a little lost in the moment. ]

...promise me you... you eat after.

[ he knows about lennon's aversion to food, which is one more reason baein sometimes shies away from eating himself, because lennon doesn't, and baein isn't about to potentially drink from him until he passes out.

well he's not about to do that to anyone. ]

[adistraction]

[ oh Baein is definitely tugged along.

The words are halted but Hunter understands and he nods quickly. ]

Promise. I mean, I eat a lot as is but yeah, I promise. You won’t have to worry about that. If you don’t like how I taste I can be emergency backup or something.

[ he smiles and adjusts his sweater so he’s not sitting on it funny. ]

[narcolepsy]

[ that startles a laugh out of him, and baein settles on the bed beside him. ]

I don't think you will.

[ fidgeting, he wonders if hunter meant now or later. and belatedly he looks up, eyes a little wide because he hasn't even asked. ]

Ah... now?

[adistraction]

Now would probably be good.

[ he chuckles and softens a bit. He knows this isn’t something that a large part of Baein really wants to do but… ]

How do you want to take it…?

[narcolepsy]

[ his answer is immediate. ]

You decide. What sounds the most comfortable for you.

[adistraction]

[ surprised, he absently glances over what he can see of himself…

Too many options. Too much thinking involved.

He’s quiet for a moment but when he tips his head he’s smiling again. ]

Kiss me first.

[narcolepsy]

[ baein blinks a little at the request, taken back, but then he leans in to give hunter a soft kiss. ]

[adistraction]

[ everything has a reason…

The kiss is soft, but Hunter pulls Baein into his lap and deepens the kiss. ]

Wherever you want, Bae. Wherever feels right.

[narcolepsy]

[ the kiss would leave him breathless if he needed to breathe, but when it breaks, he manages to look a little out of it anyway, eyes darting over hunter's face before it flickers to his neck and then up again. ]

It might hurt...

[adistraction]

It’ll be fine. Promise.

[ Hunter isn’t worried about the pain. He isn’t a masochist per say but the idea of pain doesn’t bother him so much.

He bumps their noses together and smiles, reaching up to lightly thread his fingers into Baeins hair. ]

[narcolepsy]

[ baein shivers a little, eyes slipping shut at the nosebump before he leans his head into hunter's hand. his own hands are trailing down hunter's sides, to settle on his waist. ]

All right...

[adistraction]

[ nodding, he bites his bottom lip and waits. His fingers massage gently into the others hair to try and help him relax. ]

It’s okay. We’ll take care of each other.
