I just don’t want to be a bother…too clingy or something. I mean…if you ever don’t want company I want you to tell me, okay? It won’t hurt my feelings.
[ gently he pulls his hands free and wraps his arms around Baeins waist, tucking his face in his neck With a little yawn. ]
You're not! You're not a bother... never. I... I enjoy the company. Maybe a little too much?
[ baein rubs at the back of his neck and looks down, though he doesn't protest as hunter cuddles up to him. on the contrary, he curls around him in turn, tucking himself closer as his voice lowers a little. ]
I... I've always felt like I couldn't ask someone for a hug or for... well, anything like this before. Sometimes it feels like I'm making up for it, or that I'll just feel lonelier than anything if I don't.
[ the question has baein pull back just enough to look at hunter through half lidded eyes, feeling his cheeks flush a dark red now that he has blood in him for it. ]
More...? [ the prince swallows hard and then he nods jerkily, before he tucks his face against hunter's shoulder. ] Yes... Yes, I... I want... that? I do.
[ the prince feels like he's louder like this, as if his voice is more crisp, clearer, as if he's back to who he was before he was turned. he can't help to return the smile, exhilaration trailing down his spine.
he has to swallow when hunter voices his wants, and it feels real in a way baein can't even begin to describe. ]
[ the difference is there, enough for Hunter to notice. He smiles, all of his insides a little fuzzy with warmth that he also manages to project onto the other…
It’s what he thinks next that causes him to mirror that swallow… ]
[ there's a heat that baein wants to wrap around himself like a blanket. the fact that he just fed helps as well, and the usual chill in his body is not really present.
swallowing again, baein ducks his head and nods. ]
[ he lets them linger like that for a few moments, quietly savoring the new connection but eventually he doe bring his hands up to softly cradle the others face, using his thumbs to tip his chin up so he can kiss him again. ]
[ it's definitely more convenient to not having to use your mouth for talking. it has better things to do, after all. baein reaches up to gently frame hunter's face, fingertips dipping into his hairline.
though the comment has him pull back just a little to blink at him, eyes a little wide, before the flush on his cheeks darkens impossibly. ]
I... w-what?
[ he says that outloud, blurts it out and can't get rid of the butterflies roaming around in his gut. the idea to be with hunter was already trapping heat inside him, and the fact that the other even implies jasper— the vampire swallows hard. ]
[ it's all he can do to duck his head to try and hide the flush that almost matches the gentle strawberry blonde of his hair. it rushes to the tips of his ears too and his voice devolves into a whisper. ]
[ baein looks up at the kiss, kisses back too even if it's gentle and brief, because he can't resist, and then he feels a burn behind his eyes, because hunter speaks what baein feels and... then adds baein to his important people and even if he knew, kind of, it feels more real like this, spoken. ]
You're important too...
[ baein has never tried to put anyone above someone else, because they're all different and important in their own ways. ]
You wouldn’t kiss me like that if I wasn’t important to you.
[ and Hunter wouldn’t spend as much time just wanting to be in Baeins orbit if the vampire wasn’t important to him. ]
We can do other things if you want. But that is something I want you to have with him. You cares about him first. And you get all fluttery when he’s around.
[ baein watches hunter's face, searching for any indication that the other feels upset about what he's saying about baein. but he's right, baein does get all fluttery around jasper, and he wishes he could be around him more.
but it's the same with hunter, only it's different. it's not fluttery, it's more of a familiarity or a sense of completeness in a way. it's a safety that is different from the safety he gets from jasper. from dae. they're all different. still... imagining himself with jasper like that has his cheeks light up again and baein whines before leaning forward so he can hide his face into hunter's neck. ]
[ no, Hunter isn’t upset. For the most part he isn’t jealous of any of them; Jasper, Lennon or Dae when it comes to Baein. Someone outside of their circle? He’d probably be upset… and maybe while he isn’t upset over Baein sharing his affection there might be little hints of jealousy that flare up even if he doesn’t say anything. as long as Bae is happy…he’s happy.
Because it’s the same for him… Bae is comfort, and safety, and he’s found that if he goes too long without contact he misses it.
He chuckles and opts for just cradling Baein to him, letting him hide a bit if he really wants to. ]
Hm? Your energy changes…the colors are brighter…warmer…and even though you don’t need to breathe, you breathe faster. Habit.
[ he has energy? brightness and warmness isn't something baein has felt able to associate to himself for a while now, so he can't help the way his throat tightens a little and he he chokes on his words, trying to swallow down the burn behind his eyes. ]
Really? I've never— I didn't think I could. Have... have energy.
[ baein can't swallow the lump, it refuses to disappear, and maybe he buries his face even more into hunter's neck, leans into the press of his hands. and maybe hunter will feel the wet of tears soaking into his shirt.
baein is a silent crier, even more so when he doesn't really need to breathe, but he slips his arms around hunter, curling as close as he can. ]
[ the bite has a shiver go down baein's spine and he sniffles on a sob, trying to stop the tears from flowing at the same time as he's trying to deal with the idea of someone else biting him and how he kind of. uh. likes it. ]
Thank you.
[ it's gravely and warbled, and baein feels like a melted mess right now. ]
