〝  hmm..  like this? ＂ he quietly asked asked a warm hand of his settled on one of ryujin's thighs while the other settled along the nape of his neck,  his kisses trailing up to where the other's adam's apple was.  the heated tension between them was palpable yet hesitant as cassiel ruminated on where he should touch ryujin next,  digits against his thigh squeezing idly while bringing the other's hips closer to his as legs slowly spread for better access and comfort.  it felt as if he was melting,  in a good way of course.  he honestly wouldn't mind staying like this if he could do so forever with how addicting the feeling of ryujin against him was

@erasures    ︲    why...  why was he even doing this?  ryujin hesitates to answer in such short while,  perhaps reminiscent of the past stringd between..  and the inner turmoil of what was right and wrong.  yet,  how could this ever be distinguished as an atrocity?  when it felt too perfect,  and so achingly good. ⠀ ˝  i..  i want you.  ˝⠀ never had he ever thought of finding himself in a state of want,  gnawed by the painstaking desires he so attempts to bury beneath the earth. ⠀ ˝  please..  hold me,  like you used to.  ˝ ⠀ pleaded the male,  fingers stubbornly tightening into his blouse.

cassiel let out a content hum at the drunken kisses that were littered along his jaw by the other,  him in turn pulling ryujin closer to by his hips as he let out an amused chuckle〝  it was a suggestion of concern,  not a complaint ＂ he countered back in a subtly playful manner as he leaned in to begin trailing slow and attentive kisses of his own along the exposed skin that had been underneath the other's now unbuttoned visage〝  tell me what you want me to do and i'll listen ＂ he uttered against ryujin's clavicle while beginning to leave light suckles along it

with an amused chuckle,  his hands became cupped together as he reached over ryujin's hair before carefully scooping up whatever it was that was on his head〝  not sure how,  but seems like one of my little friends made themself comfortable on your head ＂ he said while revealing the small bird that chirped in his hands

@erasures    ︲    ˝  hm?  what is it?  ˝

@vermitic  ›  I feel like you’re just lowkey too nonchalant. Like, he’s a #Tsundere so you have to chase that

@vermitic  ›  [since their time together, vael’s gotten better at having a read at the other’s expression. for a moment, the emanator falls silent, and soon his mouth opens to finally speak.]   you don’t have to lie for my sake, ryu.

〝  i know,  was just teasing ＂ a chuckle was let out before another sip from his bottle was taken〝  and you never got to telling me the reason why you cornered me that day.  so i wanted to know what made me so important that you personally went through the effort of seeking me out  ＂ came his explanation,  believing his questions were valid to ask seeing how seemingly unfamiliar the other was to him

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @erasures ꓹ ⠀ “  you know that's not what i meant,  right?  “ ⠀an arched brow,  ryujin responds without a bite.  only lighthearted,  whereas the rim of the wine bottle settles against his lips─–  taking a swift swig before speaking. ⠀“  so..  “ ⠀it trails off,  cutting him off. ⠀“  you wanted to talk to me about something,  what is it?  “

〝  what,  you think i can't be fancy? ＂ he jokingly questioned with a small laugh of his own.  seeing ryujin take the wine,  he opted to instead try the other bottled drinks — not wanting his money to go to waste by not drinking it.  a sip from the bottle was later taken after opening it,  while his other arm remained propped behind him in his sitting position so he could slightly recline back〝  hm,  it's kind of sweet,  but doesn't really have that much of a flavor aside from that.  at least it doesn't taste bad ＂

a knee was bent so he could lean forward and rest his head against it,  his gaze looking away from the scenery to ryujin who was beside him.  he quietly stared at the other,  listening to his question,  before a small hum in thought could be heard from him followed by a nod of his head〝  hah,  very much to the point it's scary.  you even share similar mannerisms to him too.  it's like time had never passed  ( ... )  do you think i'm missed by him...? ＂

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @erasures ꓹ ⠀ each word is laced by nostalgia..  that even ryujin,  cannot help but reminisce.  unlike the latter who fails to recognize said person,  h͟e͟  is able to recall those memories.  petals part a fraction,  charged by the anticipation of..  hope.  for cassiel to finally see that it is him he speaks of. ⠀“  when you look at me,  “ ⠀he began. ⠀“  do you...  see him,  in me?  “ ⠀it came hurried,  breath held within.

〝  i knew them since i was little,  at least that's what i can recall.  though,  they were always a bit of a troublemaker back when we were kids.  they'd often sneak out when their parents were busy,  and i always followed behind them to make sure they didn't get hurt ＂ he described,  reminiscing about his once close companion brought back all the good times they spent together.  a sigh could later be heard from him as he stared off into the distance〝  i hope they're doing alright..  i wouldn't be surprised if they heard and were disappointed with how i turned out,  working for a department like dici and all that... ＂

there was no reason to  [  he managed to say before a wince could be heard from him,  choosing to heed to ryujin's words and stop his efforts in trying to move by himself  ]  hah,  i'll try not to.  wouldn't want you to be responsible for a dead man's corpse if it ever came down to it

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @erasures ꓹ ⠀  ⁽⠀the steps halt,  thus the query renders him to silence.  albeit momentary,  it is regained by a scoff.⠀⁾ ⠀yeah,  but you didn't even lay a hand on me before. ⠀⁽⠀it seems he was attempting to walk by himself instead,  causing ryujin to plant a hand to his waist.  keeping him situated against him instead.⠀⁾ ⠀don't be stubborn,  you're bleeding.  don't let my efforts be in vain here.

it's you...  how did you find me..?  [  the swordsman asked in bleary confusion after recognizing the familiar emanator.  he let out an ironic chuckle despite the pain it caused him,  taking the chance to make ryujin stop their slow pace in order to gather himself  ]  i'm surprised you didn't leave me for dead.  aren't i your enemy?
