"Will they kick you out for this?" Zero asks, tapping the top of the charred bed just for it to collapse a second later. He pursed his lips. Mhm, that's not good.

"Um," Kaname pushes his hands through the window with no issues then pulls it back. "That may be the least of their worries," he said, peering around the floor near the window and seeing small glass pieces surrounding it. "Something strong broke these windows."

"Strong? Like magic strong or thrown strong?"

Kaname turns to him. "Magic. The air is thick with it." He sniffs, exhaling deeply a second later.

It has a fresh scent that reminds him of untouched fields but the longer it's inhaled the more the scent dissolves into this intoxicating smell. Sweet but spicy. Dark but also light. Energizing but not to the point any supernatural can feel like they can do anything.

Almost controlled, but untapped.

Except for Kaname, it tastes delicious and settles any blood lust that was tickling in his lower belly. Hm. He has experienced this before.

"Delicious. It's...familiar." He mumbles deliriously, moving around the room to track the glass pieces, ignoring the other damage to the room besides the bed and windows.

Walls aren't supposed to have cracks in them.

"Mhm," Zero hums, ignoring the burning smell around him. It's actually not that bad once he got used to it.
Besides the confusion from waking up in a destroyed room, this weird sensation has taken over his body and for some reason he feels more relaxed. Less jittery.

The emotions he kept experiencing during his changes are gone and his wounds from their sex — healed.

Usually it takes a couple of days, even with some real blood, for Kaname's marks on his body to fade but this... he can't even feel the bite on his neck. The only reason he knows it's there is because when they woke up, he went to the bathroom and saw himself in the mirror.

Has his hair gotten longer? Zero touches his hair, stroking the strands absentmindedly. It feels softer like Kaname soft and it's past the length it was two days ago.

"....Zero? Zero? Zero!" Kaname yells, yanking Zero out of his thoughts. Their eyes meet. A shiver runs down Kaname's spine. Woah.  When did Zero's eyes get so bright?

They are a sort of light purple with specks of white in them. It's majestic.

Collecting himself from the shock, Kaname points up the ceiling, deadpanning. "Found the windows."

Zero trails his eyes up to the ceiling where he sits up and swore loudly. Sticking straight out the ceiling are sharp glass pieces that look like crystals. Except these are jagged and forced into the ceiling instead of growing out of it.

Zero slowly gets off the bed, gawking at the ceiling as he walks to Kaname. "What the fuck....how did the—what in the..."

"Yeah. I'm curious about exactly what happened," he sniffs the signature again, the familiarity of it nudging the answer in his brain. '...or what we did during sex.'  Kaname crosses his arms with a pinched expression.

The one time he decides to check out from everything and spend time with the man he loves, this happens. Some being or spell, releases a strong ass magic signature that was able to not only fuck the city, from what he can see with the blackout and police lights shining from the buildings, but also effect his room without even disturbing him....
