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.

[narcolepsy]

We're similar enough.

[ he looks a little taken back as hunter studies him, and then his ears lay back slightly. ]

You're special too.

[adistraction]

I’m weird. There’s a difference.

[ he chuckles softly and there’s a pause before he looks a little wide eyed abs grabs Baeins hands, guiding them up to his hair where there’s little soft furry ears hiding in his hair. ]

I almost forgot. I think they’re…squirrel. At least that’s what they look like to me. If it’s true the tail….when it comes uh….I don’t know how that’s gonna work.

[narcolepsy]

And so am I? I'm not better than you. Or anyone.

[ he trails off when hunter takes his hands, but the confusion bleeds away once he realizes what he can feel in hunter's hair, and he lets out a little gasp as he touches them. his own ears are perking right up, and his tail curls at the tip in excitement. ]

Oh. You— you got ears! When?

[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]

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