[ 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. ]
[ baein kisses back, but he mostly looks confused. he's not aware his eyes do anything special. he flushes at the question though, eyes darkening a little again. ]
Yeah…the way they get darker when you’re interested…
[ he looks over the others face, his own gaze finding Baeins every few seconds before it just lingers there. Locked.
He smirks. ]
Like that.
[ he breathes and considers all of the options. Fingers walk along his thighs while he thinks but sooner rather than later he reaches for Baeins shirt to remove it…]
[ oh. with the realization, it's as if baein can feel his pupils dilate, his eyes darken at the mere idea that it's visible to hunter too. it doesn't help that the other smirks, and baein's eyes go half lidded. it's so odd to be affected by someone who's wearing the same face, but he's never really seen himself make these faces before, and he can't really see his own reflection anymore, so it's...
different. special.
really really, uh. hot.
so when hunter tugs at his shirt, baein doesn't hesitate as he sits back to help pull his shirt over his head, hair ruffling. swallowing, the prince reaches down to gently tug at hunter's shirt in turn, eyes flicking up to meet his in quiet question. ]
[ Hunter smiles and pulls his bottom lip between his teeth for a moment.
the whole same-face thing was something he had already started to get over - Baein was beautiful in his own right. Different. Softer somehow. And Hunter liked that. He liked watching his eyes shift color or him taking a breath when he didn’t need to. He likes the little moments that most people would find mundane or unimportant.
The others thoughts brush over his mind in the strangest way and his own eyes lid a little because it FEELS intimate.
His hands brush along the others sides, savoring the feel of his cooler skin against his fingertips before he nods and raises his arms over his head. ]
[ baein flushes as he proceeds to tug hunter's shirt up over his head. they feel more connected than he's felt with anyone, and being able to speak like this is a huge reason why.
aside from being carbon copies of each other. baein would have expected it to feel like taboo or something like that, but hunter is sufficiently different from him that it doesn't. it just feels like... safety. ]
no subject
I... I've never done anything but kissing.
no subject
He smiles a little against the others mouth but he doesn’t draw away. ]
…okay, well, we’re not gonna do -that- until you’ve been with Jas, then.

Jas should be your first. I want you but I know how you feel about him and…it should be him.
no subject
I... maybe he doesn't want to.
no subject
Hunter purses his lips for a moment before he ducks his head and seeks out another kiss. A warm but gentle thing. ]
Trust me, he would be an idiot if he didn’t want that. And I can tell he does. I just want him to be your first… it’s important. You’re important.
no subject
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. ]

[ his hands move, shifting fabric around until he can slip them underneath Baeins shirt to press his open palms against his back. ]
You’re warmer than you think you are. Brighter. Prettier. Stronger. You don’t see what I see. What we see. But I’ll remind you every day if I have to…

He doesn’t tell him not to cry or ask him why he is…
Instead, he noses along his shoulder and gently bites him through his shirt. ]
I’ve got you.
no subject
Thank you.
[ it's gravely and warbled, and baein feels like a melted mess right now. ]
no subject
[ he blinks, running his hands up and down the others back; lightly scratching with each pass. ]
no subject
Both...?
[ turning his head, baein peers up at hunter. his eyes are a little glassy and red rimmed, but he's giving him a lopsided smile. ]
no subject
You’re welcome. I can bite you again if you want.
no subject
Yeah? ...you can.
[ he doesn't know why the idea affects him so much, but he wants it. ]
no subject
[ smiling a little more he leans in closer and steals a kiss. ]
I like it when your eyes do that…
[ he licks his bottom lip and hums. ]
Where?
no subject
[ baein kisses back, but he mostly looks confused. he's not aware his eyes do anything special. he flushes at the question though, eyes darkening a little again. ]
Um... anywhere you like.
no subject
[ he looks over the others face, his own gaze finding Baeins every few seconds before it just lingers there. Locked.
He smirks. ]
Like that.
[ he breathes and considers all of the options. Fingers walk along his thighs while he thinks but sooner rather than later he reaches for Baeins shirt to remove it…]
Take this off.

It feels like it's just our thing.
