[there's a curious thing in the treehouse.

no, not daeshim.

but it is in his handwriting.]

Residents and Frequent Guests of the Ruintree (you know who you are):

Lennon and I are currently accepting applications for boyfriends. If interested, please answer the following questions and we will get back to you.

1. Do you like us?

2. Do you like babies?

3. Which do you think is better, kissing or sex?

Didn’t read the terms and conditions.

[adistraction]

1. Yep.

2. Yep. Except when they poop.

3. Kissing. Sex is nice too, though.

🤍Hunter

it's official

action

[narcolepsy]

[ baein is heading back inside from the garden, trying to escape the sun peeking over the horizon in a way that's too much for him at this hour, which means it's fairly early in a way, but not too early that anyone else wouldn't be awake yet.

however he halts in front of the sign, confusion clear on his face as he reads it.

what?

that's where he's found in the next few moments, hesitating on literally everything, not sure if he should even consider filling it in or not. it's... it's probably not meant for him, after all, how could it be? besides, it sounds a little like a prank and...

and... ]

Nudge.

[adistraction]

Pretty sure that’s actually meant for you.

[ he motions to the note and comes around to hug him from behind. ]

Fill it out.

[narcolepsy]

[ he doesn't jump, having heard the presence of someone else coming up behind him, but he does startle when that someone drapes over him and turns out to be hunter, and he blinks back at him for a moment. he does lean into the hug, though. because how could he not. ]

Me? No... no it's addressed to the whole house.

[ he honestly doesn't sound like he understands why it would be addressed to him. it almost sounds like an informal royal decree, like when a royal family is looking for suitors to their princeling. ]

[adistraction]

Sometimes that’s just a guise. You’re a common denominator when it comes to Daeshim and Lennon. He wants you to fill it out.

[ he nudges him forward a little more. ]

Go on.

[narcolepsy]

He? [ who of them? ] That doesn't make sense. I don't think they'd ask me... and even if they did, why like this?

[ he stumbles forward even as he looks back at hunter. baein's right here. why use such an informal way of asking something this important? calling it an application as if it doesn't really matter in the long run? as if... as if baein is reading into this way too much. which he's prone to do when his heart is trying to figure things out. ]

Are you sure it's not just a prank? It would feel very insincere to fill it out...

[adistraction]

Daeshim. Lennon wouldn’t do this sort of thing I don’t think.

[ his head tips so his cheek is on Baeins shoulder. ]

Mm…maybe it’s less pressure this way? Plus, I mean, the questions are simple.

[ nope he still hasn’t read the boyfriend portion. Don’t judge him. ]

Well. Maybe Lennon would. He definitely likes you.

[narcolepsy]

... well. They are, but... I don't understand why it's not something that could be posed directly when it's important.

[ the prince mumbles it, almost sounding petulant, but the tone in his voice is very brief and gone in a fraction of a second. baein definitely has read the boyfriend part, but hunter raises valid logic, most likely? and it's not like the vampire has a lot to lose on signing it, does he? if it's a prank... it is what it is. baein can humor daeshim if he is the one who did this, after all.

though he doesn't understand the question about children. ]

1. Of course.

2. Yes...?

3. I cannot give an opinion on this as I have only experienced the former.

[adistraction]

[ ohhhh, he didn’t catch the boyfriend thing but he definitely caught that tone~

Cute…

He waits until Bae finishes filling it out then nips his neck and lets go to give him his personal space again. ]

Ask him when you see him.

[narcolepsy]

[ baein almost mourns the way hunter steps back and looks back at him again with almost a pout. ]

What? No... I can't do that.

[adistraction]

You absolutely can.

[ he chuckles softly and reaches for him again. ]

Aw, don’t do that. Come on, time for bed.

[narcolepsy]

he huffs out on an airless breath.

No... no maybe. I don't know.

[ the fact that it's almost dawn, that technically everyone should be getting out of bed and start the day, and yet hunter is reaching for him and announcing it's time for bed... simply adjust as if it's the normal thing to do, it makes something fond and sticky curl in baein's chest and he swallows, with a little smile on his lips as he lets hunter reach him. ]

Do what?

[ it's an honest question, as if he wasn't aware of the expressions he made. ]

[adistraction]

You can do it. I believe in you.

[ that once he gets a hold of him, he tugs gently to get them moving away from the sunlight threat. ]

The pout. I can’t resist the pout.

[ he smiles with an equal fondness and keeps Bae close. ]

We can sleep for a while, okay? Deal with Daeshim later.

[narcolepsy]

[ it turns into a surprise laugh, and he blinks wide eyes at hunter. ]

I wasn't pouting! [ and then his expression changes into more of a surprise. ] Did I?

[ he does want to sleep though, it was what he had planned before the sign stopped him in his tracks, so he lets hunter lead him back to whatever room there is, his own or if hunter has one too. (at this point he should have one.) ]

Didn't you just wake up...?

[adistraction]

You did pout. And it was cute as always.

[ nope. No room yet, but he knows where Baeins in so they’re gonna go there - he’s inviting himself. ]

Nope. Sort of a night owl for the most part.

[narcolepsy]

You're just calling yourself cute saying that.

[ he looks bashful though, totally letting hunter into his space. it's sparsely furnitured, but it's neat and clean and full of books on whatever space is left that isn't the bed. ]

Mm... all right, I'll allow it, then.

[ it's said in jest. hunter can do whatever he wants. ]

[adistraction]

We’re similar. Not completely identical, Bae.

[ letting go he reaches to drape his arms over Baes shoulders so he can look at him. ]

I’m definitely cute. But you’re special.

[faeshim]

[narcolepsy]

[ okay now what happens...? is baein going to have to look for dae and ask what he meant...? ]

[action]

[fulldark]

[ at first, jasper just walks right past the notice. this is probably mostly due to the fact that he does have his arms full of bags. he does put said bags down and circles back around to the notice, which he reads, laughs at quietly (in good humour, not mocking) before he just -- goes back into the kitchen.

sorry, he is going to assume that is for... everyone else. ]

[narcolepsy]

[ baein was just looking for jasper in the kitchen (because there's very little else he'd be doing in there) when he almost bumps into him as he's leaving. ]

Jas...!

[fulldark]

[ don't mind the way he brightens when he sees you there, baein. and wraps an arm around him easily to make sure he doesn't fall over. or something...]

Baebae! What are you up to right now?

[narcolepsy]

[ his cat ears perk up and he immediately leans into the hold without even thinking. ]

I was looking for you.
