bloodbound. (earinor & akira)

    • One more kiss, and then one more - Yujin wanted nothing more than Richard and it had become painfully apparent a long time ago. If he were to give it a serious thought, he'd have to admit that he was sort of obsessed with the blonde who seemed so much more free than he was, able to spread whatever imaginary wings he had in whatever direction that he could and they couldn't keep him here, bound to the ground that he stood on, forever. Where was he to go? Somewhere, without Yujin, who had to get his mind out of the gutter and admit that all of this was happening because he wanted it to, because he sort of had led Richard on and they both were now doing so much more than just looking out for one another. "Not tonight, that's too much.", he insisted. Yujin wanted nothing more than to be close to Richard tonight and for whatever reason, that entailed devoting all his time to the blonde and wincing every so often when he felt teeth on his lips, not because it hurt, but rather because he never expected it - but he leaned in every single time, couldn't help but wonder if any of this was happening because he had pushed enough of Richards buttons for the night, or because he couldn't keep those damn hands to himself. He didn't want to let go. Hungry was an understatement for both of them, however - their kisses seemingly grew messier and messier, with more tongue and teeth and saliva than before, but they hardly cared.

      Yujin wouldn't mind if this was going on forever, if he could just be with Richard like this until tomorrow, but it'd be to cold to spend the entire night out here, hardly wrapped in their own clothing, busy playing around with one another and doing everything imaginable. There was nothing more than he wanted, though, and if it wasn't for that, he wanted to go somewhere where they'd be on their own, still - which meant nowhere near the castle. "I know, I don't mind. Honestly, though, I can hardly resist you - but I don't need to tell you how hot you are, or how much I like you, when I can just show you." Getting away from the blonde at this point was impossible, not when he was already pulling him closer as soon as he even tried to shy away, not when they were kissing constantly and anyone who'd see them would think they'd completely lost their minds out here, tasting some sort of odd drug - but no, that was hardly the case. If anything, Yujin was - ashamedly so - drunk on love, with a head full of cotton and a heart that was trying to escape his ribcage right at this very moment, sending a shiver down his spine, all the way through his body was Richards warm breath hit his ear, with words that he'd not expected, that made uncomfortable warmth spread through his body, giving him goosebumps. What the hell was Richard on? "Daring, are we? And what are you going to do if I tell you I hardly can do anything out here?", he chuckled, pulling Richard closer with one arm that he wrapped around his hips by now, before reaching into the blondes pants - but not his underwear - and palmed him through it, coyly kissing him as a defense maneuver. "And you're the one with a hard-on." If anything, Richard was out of his mind today - and Yujin handed that right back to him with an awfully slow kiss, all the while he was rubbing his hand against Richards crotch, teasingly so.
      Looking back, it maybe is like the toy carts you rode when you were a kid. But those toy carts could never go beyond the walls of the lawn. We want to follow the rugged concrete road beyond the wall. As we've grown, we've decided to leave behind the toy cart.
    • "You're right...", Richard whispered wishing them both back home to Myriad. Even now it was hardly winter in Adrestia, it was Autumn and they could have sit on a hill with gras around them, not snow. Nobody would freeze there, not the two of them with Thrian blood cursing through both their veins. They wouldn't need to think of warmth, or where to go after to warm up and Yujin would probably love to see Adrestia, to see actual gras and flowers, with bugs that hardly existed out here buzzing around them. But they were in Silesse it was cold and Yujin was way too considerate of that fact. They weren't about to sleep here unmoving and even then Richard survived hours unconscious in the snow just a week ago. There was no need to fear the cold night air. They weren't motionless, far from that and Richards body felt like it was procuring enough warmth for both of them. Yujins skin was feeling hot all the time anyway, even if he'd strip him naked probably, he slept in a castle made out of ice, never a fire in sight, how cold could he actually get?

      Going somewhere else, to the castle or the hut where their fathers waited didn't sound very pleasing, Richard rather stayed here and kissed Yujin until he was out of breath. He didn't want to see anyone else tonight, not even a glimpse. "Still you run your mouth...", Richard pointed out, but he liked to hear it regardless and Yujin knew Richard felt the same. There was nothing much happening last week despite being together almost all the time and sharing a bed, maybe that was why they both went overboard a little bit right now. That wasn't Richards sole reason though, he wanted this night to count, they didn't have to sleep with each other, but if it was something Yujin wanted, then they'd do it somehow. He wanted to remember this night and maybe Yujin would... no he actually didn't want that and to stop himself once more he kissed Yujin again. "We'll hah..." Richard was surprised by the hand that suddenly touched him, another shiver ran down his spine and his fingers searched for grip on Yujins shoulder. He was interrupted by a soft and slow kiss and he gasped for air whenever their lips parted. He was melting under Yujins touch at this very moment. "You're... too...", he mumbled, then found back to the original topic. "We'll figure... something out. I'm not getting cold either - promise..."
    • Was he, though? Yujin couldn't know that this was about the last time he'd see Richard - or touch for that matter - and it almost felt as if it was stupid to consider that in the first place, no. They had shared banter before and after all the talks they had, Yujin thought that Richard would be honest with himself, honest with both of them, and not lie to him about something as silly as this. Eventually, something would happen, he'd leave and that was that, and yet the wolf chose to believe the words he'd been fed, chose to haphazardly chase after everything he was offered tonight, not caring about what was to happen from here on out. "Can ... can I ...", he mumbled, seemingly unsure. If Yujin had to think about it for just a little while longer, all hell would break loose instead and he didn't want that, he wanted to drown himself in whatever kind of pleasure or feeling he could and Richard seemed to share that sentiment, if only it applied to both of them for this short night, somewhere on the edge between summer and winter - being close to one another was about anything they seemingly cared about, if not who could steal more kisses from one another; but then, there was Yujin, with his hand in Richards pant, rubbing a thing piece of fabric against his crotch. Why, though? Most likely because he wanted to tease, like he'd always done and he'd always do, nothing else.

      For a moment, he wished they had their own secluded place, somewhere out here or further away, a hut or something to call their own, even if it was a shoddy place - it would suffice as a retreat for moments like this and they wouldn't have to go anywhere, or bother anyone - they'd be safe and secure, too. "As if you don't want to hear my voice. You just don't like it when I hit the spot.", the wolf chuckled, and he was right on the mark, too. Richard hated being called cute, which he was, and he hated it when Yujin told him how much he loved him, when he wouldn't shut up and waffle on and on about the many ways that he appreciated Richard in, but tonight, he wouldn't care, if that was what someone wanted to hear from him. A plethora of kisses had followed, from either of them, and for some reason, they had a tinge of want on them, even if there was nothing else to want, or to get from any of this. "Never said I wasn't." That he didn't, and almost as if to demonstrate that Richard was very much right about what he'd said, Yujin opted to shut him up with a kiss, no longer appreciating the fact that the moonlight that had crept in on them was illuminating the face and eyes he liked so much, or the long locks of hair that Richard ought to tie up eventually. "And what ... if we don't have to figure anything out, huh?", the wolf deviously proposed, still casually stroking the blonde through his underwear and opting for kisses here and there, before paying attention to how very warm Richard was, once he finally stuck his hand into the last bit of clothing that was in the way. "I'm sure you can take the cold ... but there's no need to shed layers that can stay on.", he expressed, shortly before taking the uninjured arm resting on his shoulders and putting it on his own sash. "You can take it off, if you want." Did he have butterflies in his stomach? From the looks of it, yes - and it also felt just like that. He wanted nothing more than to stay like this. "Is there anything that's off the table?"

    • "Can you what?", Richard asked Yujin. It wasn't like him to not say what he thought, usually he just opened his mouth and talked away, he rarely thought beforehand. There were many things that Richard took in a wrong way, he knew he was difficult, very much so and Yujin learned that some topics were better left alone - but was it really something like that? Richard wasn't sure, he was just hoping he wouldn't ask to come with Richard when the time came, he couldn't. From the very beginning he lied to Yujin and Richard felt sorry. He talked about going back home and anyone would know what that meant as an exiled prince, yet Yujin chose to believe he'd just deal with some things, take back the throne maybe and then come back to him eventually. Richard lied by not telling him that that wasn't what was going to happen and he lied to him when he told him he didn't want him close. He lied now when they made plans for the winter, about going to that one warm spot in Silesse and on a boat for a trip. Richard felt sorry and he knew more kisses didn't make it right, but he truly believed that it was better this way.

      Richard panted under Yujins touch and he tried to focus on the feeling rather than his thoughts. "What were you saying about showing rather than telling...?", Richard asked simply, he always felt embarrassed by too much praise and he struggled with giving the praise back to Yujin. He wasn't very good at just saying such things, not when he was sober at least. Another breathtaking kiss followed while Richard tried to contain himself, yet the touches felt so good and he wanted more of that. "Good then...", Richard answered and gasped once more when he felt cold fingers on his skin. It wasn't too cold, just cold in the very first moment, but Yujins fingers would warm up soon enough and in any case the warmth was the least of Richards problems right now. Richard was still feeling quite comfortable overall in all the layers he wore today and the actions Yujin took warming him up too. The sash was open, but most of the layers still in place. Yujin eventually took Richards arm, leading it to his own sash and Richard started fumbling with it. He took the invitation but it took a few minutes and eventually he used the other hand as well carefully, until he finally opened up the sash and the layers of Yujins clothing weren't fixed to one position anymore. "No...", he answered, maybe there was something - sharing. But he doubted Yujin would want that right now anyway.
    • However many times should he have to remind himself that he needed to use his damn brain before committing to something he couldn't uphold? In the end, he was dooming himself and Richard, as well as the entirety of this situation. Whatever happened, happened, was something that Yujin would normally proclaim, but he didn't want whatever to happen tonight, lest he'd have to leave all of this with a bitter aftertaste on his tongue. He'd wish Richard was fine and this was another silly excursion of theirs, in fact, he loathed to think about the fact that they could be celebrating summers end elsewhere and weren't doing so. One kiss more, nothing else, roped him back into the situation at hand however and he was fairly certain that he couldn't get enough of Richard, that he was painfully smitten and fairly aware that he'd already pulled all the triggers he could and was now only assuming that something - anything - would come of this. His lips shortly formed a thin line, unsure if he wanted to speak - confess to what he'd had on his mind - or if all of it was worthless regardless of what he came up with. "Can I just keep you close tonight?", he eventually mumbled, unsure why he'd thought of something like this in the first place. Whatever it was bogus or not, he didn't want Richard to go anywhere, he just wanted to be with him if he had to be somewhere and not sleep alone in some crummy bed in a goddamn ice castle at the shore, where the howling of the waves was all he heard.

      Claiming that he'd grown dependent on Richard was probably too much, but he was so fond of him, he hardly wanted to share him, he wanted nothing more than to be with him right now and even if they couldn't be one, it often enough felt like they were racing each other to do just that - they wanted to have someplace they could be, could connect their bodies that clearly were two, not one, but that was silly, too. "What was that about me being desperate but not you?", he replied with a cocky grin, his voice sounding equally as such. There they were, contradicting each other once more, but Yujin was happy to hand out more kisses, to be the one that bit the blondes lip for a change, and then traced downward, from his jaw to his throat, not minding the fabric once more and looking for spots that didn't cover it. It was nice to warm his own fingers up, hiding them in Richards clothing, but that hardly had been his goal before, now he was just palming Richards dick, stroking it slowly without a dumb piece of fabric in the way and he didn't want to ruin any of this, wanted to keep looking at the blonde and take in the blush on his face, the warmth of his skin and his own taste that he'd plastered all over Richards lips by now - and Yujin still didn't care, not when his own clothing was being fumbled with and the sash came undone eventually, for which he granted the blonde another kiss, instead of speaking up. "So you wouldn't mind if I carried you all the way back?", he teased. Now, Richard had fallen right into his trap, though, Yujin knew he'd be unable to act upon that - lest his leg actually gave in. That'd just hurt both of them, though, if he did want to head back, he probably just make it worth Richards while for now and up the pace, from painfully slow to something that might as well make the blonde see butterflies sooner than later.

    • "Keep me close...? I... thought you'd be going home today...", Richard wondered, in fact he planned to leave early in the morning, but maybe he could wait a few hours more. "I don't mind... I can bring you home in the morning.", he mumbled, Nayantai would probably be fine with it too, in fact the old man didn't want to leave anyway, did he now? Richard wasn't sure... he also didn't want to drag him into his stupid mess, but without him he'd never find back home and Nayantai wouldn't want him to get hurt. Richard in turn didn't want Nayantai to get hurt either, but there was nothing much he could do about that, other than endure his pain further that was. Everything Richard did felt wrong, staying did, leaving did, but he decided which one of those he needed to do. He couldn't live with the guilt, with his constant nightmares that woke Yujin up every damn night last week, even when Richard tried to not fall asleep to not annoy the Silessian prince with it. He had been so caring all the time, but it hardly mended anything.

      "I never said I wasn't...", Richard panted, leaning more onto Yujin for some support. Hi heart was beating faster and he opened his eyes to stare at the vast nothingness around them as if to check if there truly was no one seeing them. Thrians were sexually a lot more open than Adrestians, but even then, fucking in a public place seemed a bit much. Yujin said no one ever came here, Richard just hoped he was right. In Adrestia people at least hid behind a bush, but there were no such things in Silesse. Once Yujins sash came undone and his clothing loosened, Richard moved his cold fingers on Yujins skin, warming them up in the process. Yujin however seemed to have other plans, it seemed he wanted to leave here, yet his hand was upping the pace and made Richard wheeze. "If you... don't drop me...?", Richard answered, thinking about the fact that Nayantai left before them and he might not be back yet, was that what Yujin was after? Why was he doing what he did now then though...? "No need to... ruin my clothes now then... is there...?"
    • "Don't want to.", he protested, burying his face in Richards chest for a solid minute, like some sort of brat that had just been told that it was time to do something he absolutely loathed and now he was about to throw a tantrum if he wouldn't get what he wanted. It was far from that - if Richard wanted him to leave, he would, yet, Yujin wanted to exhaust just about all the options he had before he surrendered to what would ultimately be his fate. "Mhm, I'd like that. But you don't have to." And that he didn't; if Richard slept, Yujin would most likely see himself out, if only because he didn't want to disturb that one person that always, no matter what, seemed to have nightmares and woke up more than once every night. Surely, someone would complain how very annoying it was, but Richard put up with him and his forgetfulness, the memory loss that was painfully apparent, so the least that Yujin could do was to be there for him, to take care of him and look out for him when he couldn't do it himself. It'd be a lie if he said he disliked it, of course, nobody liked being woken up when they were deep asleep, and yet, he didn't mind, much like he didn't mind holding Richard in his arms and keeping him this close - this wouldn't change a thing, it never had, but it was the best either of them could do.

      "I know, I like teasing you, though." For a matter of fact, he also liked to figure out whatever or not Richard would let himself be pushed in one direction, then the other, and Yujin knew well enough that none of this was going to lead anywhere if he didn't want it; which only meant that he'd have to man up and be honest for both of them, however that would work. The added weight didn't matter, not once, not when he pretty much sat on his ass and was intend on giving Richard all he could ask for and some more, whatever it'd be out here or somewhere else. Another shiver made its way through his body as he felt the blondes hands on him, robbing his own body of warmth just for a moment, not long enough to make him complain in any way in the first place, however. Yujin opted for another kiss, clumsy and by all accounts as messy as the previous ones they had shared, yet, not as fast or forceful - they still weren't done here, they never would be if they had everything they needed on them all the time, but it hardly mattered like this. For all he knew, he shouldn't have asked anything of Richard, shouldn't have wanted to do whatever else he'd never done, but he'd dug his grave by now and he'd die with that lie, that much was for certain, at least to him. He sounded amused, however, was he grabbed onto Richard, just a bit more. "And you want to go all the way back ... like that?" Thrian clothing probably didn't make it painfully obvious that either of them had a boner, but it'd still be annoying, wouldn't it? "I can stop, then. How about you wrap your legs around me and hold onto me so I can pick you up?", he suggested, actually taking his hand off of the blonde, only to wrap it around him instead. They had everything, right? Yujin ought to re-tie his sash, but he currently didn't give two damns, not when he wanted nothing more than to do all he ever wanted with the man in his arms, the one he'd desperately wanted to be his, not just for tonight, but he knew fairly well that none of this was going to lead either of them anywhere.

    • "I know...", Richard mumbled, but at this point his father would probably come and take him home. Well, soon his son wouldn't have any reason to go to a lonely hut out of town, Shuren was probably happy about the fact that Richard left. He wondered what Nayantai thought about all of this, but he seemingly liked Yujin and he wouldn't have kicked him out, even if Shuren had come to pick him up. Wasn't that hard on him? Deciding between his son and his friend? What would Rain have done he wondered. "Don't worry... I know I don't have to.", Richard answered. The least he could do was to say goodbye, even if Yujin thought it was only for a little bit. He'd avoid Yujins family though, he doubted any of them liked him, his sister didn't seem to, his father hated him for giving Yujin stupid ideas and his brother never really spoke a word to Richard, besides getting him some different soup that didn't kill him on the spot. Richard already thought life would be like this in Silesse when he first came here though, what was a sheep supposed to do here anyway?

      "Shut up then...", Richard grumbled less angry than usual though. Yujin was mean and sometimes he truly tried to push all the wrong buttons, but today Richard didn't mind, or rather there were no wrong buttons to push. He didn't deny Yujin another kiss, but he wondered why they always went all out in situations like these? Well Richard at least had to admit that he for one wanted one more night with him, something he could feed upon when times turned grim and he wanted Yujin to have a good final night too. "Like what?", Richard asked somewhat confused. He could just close up his clothes again for the way back, he didn't want to freeze to death after all. "You'll drop me!", Richard complained, but he shifted anyway, trying to hold onto Yujin, since today he was allowed to ask for anything and for some reason, this was something he always wanted to do. Why did he want to carry Richard anywhere? If anyone should carry one of them, Richard should probably carry Yujin, but today he couldn't. Even holding on to him was hard with only one useable arm and a stinging pain in his side. "We're probably faster if you let me walk as well..."
    • Were any of these decisions up to Yujin, he'd opt to stay in that hut, together with Richard, for as long as he could; he never wanted to leave this place, even if it meant to forsake whatever useless title he had and to abandon all of his family - he'd probably do it, just for Richard, though. "Can't I just stay with you?", he muttered and meant it. Staying out here was impossible, they'd have to make a run for it to someplace that Shuren wouldn't find or care enough about to search it, which would be a feed in itself, but if it was just the two of them, it didn't seem unmanageable. "So you want to?", Yujin wondered, but he was asking a rhetoric question, if anything. Wouldn't the blonde have wanted just that, he'd never have offered to do it in the first place, of that he was certain. There was more to it, though, he had to admit and the truth was that they both were hardly doing each other much of a favor; it just so happened that they had their very own ideas about life and what they expected of it, whatever that meant they had room for each other in it or not didn't matter right about now. "I will, I will. No more teasing, yes?" The best he could do was try and the worst he could do was not even make an attempt; but if he was to get everything he wanted tonight, he'd at least give Richard something as well, to make it even for both of them.

      "Forget it.", he implored instead, chuckling all the while about how very dense Richard could be, just for a moment though, but oblivious fit him as well, always preoccupied with other things, not the ones at hand and Yujin was't any better, they both were cought up in their own dreamworld from time to time, just like they'd been earlier and there wasn't much they could do about any of that. "I won't, I promise. Have some faith in me." The positioning was far from optimal, yet, there wasn't much else they could do and if anyone wanted this, wanted to show Richard that he was just as good at the silliest of things, it was Yujin who hoisted them both up from the ground, despite having a hurt leg. He couldn't tell if Richard was heavier or lighter than before, yet he'd imagined he'd do much worse as he started moving. Dropping wasn't an option, but triumphant grinning was, from ear to ear, overjoyed, as if this was all he wanted of tonight - and in a sense, it probably was something that he'd been looking forward to for forever. "We have all the time in the world, unless you're getting impatient?" Calling Richard a pillow princess was probably too much for tonight, something that would earn him at least a good smack and while his own arms supported the blondes weight, he waltzed off into the night, ignorning his leg that started protesting not long after. They reached the hut after a good while, but Yujin was far from done, in fact, he did carry Richard all the way inside, hastily opening the door with his elbow - and shutting it behind him in a similar way - before bringing Richard to the heap of fur that served as his bed and setting him down on it, and falling face first into the fur next to him, wrapping his arms around the blondes waist from there. "See? I didn't drop you once!"

    • "You should go back home before your father arrives with torches and pitchforks at the hut.", Richard replied, though he ultimately had a more selfish reason to make Yujin go back home. He couldn't stay forever, Yujin couldn't stay at the hut and Richard couldn't stay in Silesse. "Maybe.", he then answered without admitting that he'd like to see him off, even though he knew Yujin would find his way back home alone too. He wouldn't apologize to his father for kind of kidnapping him though, that was for certain, he didn't regret any of it. Neither taking him on a trip out of Silesse, nor helping him escape out of his window or taking him back home for a week. Yujin was an adult, he was older than Richard in fact and he should be able to decide what he did and didn't do. His memory didn't have anything to do with being able to make his own decisions and if Richards suspicions turned out to be true after all, Yujin was nothing more than a prisoner to his father. Coming from a family that valued freedom over anything, it was hard to look away.

      "Mhh...", Richard grumbled as he was just shut down and he still didn't have much faith either, yet he let himself be carried anyway. It was odd and embarassing. The firework had already stopped and Richard wondered if he should have appreciated it more, but it was too late anyway. He looked around just to make sure no one saw them like this - Yujin carrying Richard and both of them with open sashes and floating clothes. "Not impatient... it's just embarrassing like this..." Why did he tell Yujin he could ask for anything for gods sake? In the end they even made it to the hut, which was kind of surprising. Yujin didn't stop there and carried Richard all the way to his room. The blone noticed that Nayantais coat wasn't here, so they were alone. Once Richard was let down in his room he sighed. Holding his side for a bit, being carried lik that hadn't been very comfortable and his good arm unfortunately was on his hurt side. Yujin seemed beat, slumping down right after putting Richard down. "And now you're beat and ready to go to sleep.", Richard pointed out, not bothering to fix his cloths who exposed some of his chest.
    • "He can hunt me for sport for all I care.", he whined, not willing to let go of Richard or his ridiculous daydreams about staying here, with him, having nowhere else to go and needing to go anywhere else in the first place. He knew that it was stupid, as it was idealistic and too optimistic in the first place, but he wanted to hold onto whatever ridiculous little piece of hope he had for now, was if that led him anywhere - and maybe it did, he didn't know for sure. "Now you're teasing." The truth was far from that, Yujin knew as much, but he'd never really figure out that Richard was lying to him right now, not about seeing him off or not wanting him to stay longer than tonight, but other things that didn't cross his mind right now. For all he cared, he could be coming up with the worst ideas on the spot, could wrap his arms around Richard and fall asleep like this, but he didn't want the grumbly man to always be right, or go to bed completely unsatisfied - blowing his brains out was out of question, Yujin didn't care much for that, but he wriggled his arms under the outmost layer of the blondes clothing, slowly taking it off without moving from where he lay, just letting his hands guide him to whatever he had in mind. "Being carried around by a guy you want to carry, clothing lose and messy while sporting an obvious boner? That's where you draw the line for embarrassing?"

      Often times, his interest was piqued by the strangest of things, yet, everything that the blonde said - whatever he meant it or not - was sort of funny to Yujin, who still was grinning like an idiot as he sat back up, trying not to strain his already whining leg; he could've dismissed the added weight, listened to Richard instead and walked here the normal way, something that would've been boring and not at all what he wanted, albeit it would've put less strain on him. Who was he to complain, though? If the pain persisted even know, it wouldn't go anywhere anytime soon - he'd have to live with it, there wasn't much of a choice for him. "No, I still get whatever I want, remember?", Yujin seemingly perked up at the though and went back to where he'd left off, sliding his hand under the rest of the fabric that clung to Richard, still, going for the side of his injured hand first. "Let me lend you a hand.", he insisted and helped Richard out of all that was in the way, before doing the same at the other side, careful enough to not yank anything, or bump into any of the almost evident black and blue splotches that partially were creeping out from beneath some bandages here and there. Richard looked quite beat up, Yujin knew that fairly well, but the only thing he did, in the end, was putting his scarf and pillow aside, as well as the wooden box he'd took out from under all that clothing. He let his hands, cold or not, slide over the blondes shoulders, up and down, as if he was trying to warm up either of them, while he kneeled there and got himself another kiss. "And besides, you'd be forever mad at me if I riled you up and then gave you nothing in return." A clarification he direly needed to get off of his chest, even if it might be a wrong one - whatever did it matter? Hardly anything. "What if I want one hundred kisses?" That meant, he'd be stealing his second one right now, and he wasn't going to stop there while he fumbled with Richards pants.

    • "He'll lock you up in a room without windows if you keep acting like that.", Richard pointed out, sitting there and looking at Yujin mumbling into the fur that made up Richards entire bed. "Not intentionally.", Richard admitted about his supposed teasing. He just said what was on his mind and agreeing to something didn't come easy to him since he was in Silesse. A maybe from Richard seemed to be as good as a yes, he just couldn't bring himself to say it any other way. He wanted to bring Yujin home, yes, even if Yujin didn't want to go and even if his home was just a big chunk of ice. Richard would also prefer staying here, a fire was always burning, even if it might not be that smart in a wooden hut. Nayantai always card about it being warm for his son, he was sure Nayantai himself didn't need that. Richard appreciated it, he liked coming home to a cozy place and not have to light a fire first and wait until all the cold was driven out. Just like now, they came home and it was cozy warm in Richard bedroom, maybe even hot by Yujins standards. The warmth was the reason why Richard didn't mind that Yujin pushed the fabric of Richards outer layer of clothes off his shoulder. The sleeves were so wide, that he only had to lift his arm a bit to get it out completely. "I don't even have one anymore!", Richard protested.

      Yujin sat back up after all and Richard watched him, not moving much on his own. "I guess, but I suspected you wanted to sleep now.", Richrad answered, it was somewhat of a joke but he said it as seriously as ever. He never was very good at making jokes to begin with, but no smile and grin made it hard to discern. Yujin wanted to take more of Richards clothes off and Richard didn't stop him. He helped Yujin help him get his injured arm out without hurting it. It was bandaged from wrist to elbow, but Richard got rid of the splint that had just annoyed him, besides he doubted anything was seriously broken, his bones just had been chewed on a little... The other arm was freed more easily, he just had to lift it up, so Yujin coul pull on the fabric, then Richard put that hand back on the fur to support his own weight. Like this Yujin could see what was left of the fight with the bear. The bandage that wrapped around Richards stomach to cover his side was still there too, blue and red spots were lurking on the corners and also elsewhere there were remains of heavy bruises, from falling to the floor with a bear on top that had been bigger than Nayantai and other places the bear randomly hit him during their struggle. Yujin was very careful with all of this, sliding his hands over Richard shoulders that felt a little stiff from all the lying in bed. Richard returned the kiss shortly before answering. "I'm not mad.", he said, but got shut up by another small kiss. "Start counting the ones outside and you're almost there anyway."
    • "Can't break me out then, huh? Guess I'll have to go back tomorrow, then." That would be the end of a week that he'd spent in relative freedom, far away from home and everyone that was trying to get all up in his business - fifteen minutes away from his fathers, no shenanigans involved. Yujin had sworn to himself that he'd not think about it any longer, that those thoughts weren't what he was aiming for today, but as it seemed, something was happening, and it was annoying him at the very least. Why did thoughts like that have to take root in a head like his that was better used for other things, lest all the information he made up would become his own reality? "I know.", Yujin mumbled - he knew. Richard was neither a man of many words, nor somebody that enjoyed picking fights, and yet he was irritable at first, hard on the outside, more than soft on the inside, and the wolf had to admit that he, of all people, was the person that pried that shell apart and now was looking at the core he'd wanted all this time, or, if he were to end it on another note, maybe Richard was letting him see things that he'd locked away before - all of which he didn't want to share now lay bare before both of them. "You don't? Lucky for you, I can't help you with that!" He liked the way Richard behaved, got embarrassed over seemingly anything that poured from his mouth, especially when it sounded more obscene than it normally would be; the blush on his face was marvelous to look at, no matter how small it was, and the fact that his facial expression and tone of voice changed every single time was hilarious.

      "No. I want something else, can you guess what it is?" There was no need for guessing, not when his hands were creeping over Richards body and his eyes glued onto him, tracing the mosaic of different colors that was spreading across what felt like all of him - everywhere he looked, aside from his face and ... that piece of fabric that still clung to Richards neck. Yujin wasn't sure, normally he'd ask, but instead he took his hand to the knot at the back of Richards neck and undid it, paying attention as to not hurt the blonde yet again, almost as if he'd become so fragile just by losing a few layers of clothing that it had him enarmored, if not spellbound, by what was transpiring in front of his very eyes. All of this would fade, all of the spots that formed a trail from one place to another, and though Yujin was aware, he kissed around those he could reach like this, before wondering if he could straddle Richards hips and just press him down, though, it would only lead to more shuffling. "You aren't? I'm glad.", he whispered. They were alone, weren't they? Most likely, and even if that wasn't the case, nothing could stop him from looking at the guy he had wanted so badly for so long and yet, now that he had him, now that they were so close, they did only have as much as this night together. Why couldn't they have done this all week? Well, they cuddled, which was somewhat preferable, if he thought about it. "I refuse. I want a hundred more.", he demanded, before shifting his own position, pulling his legs slightly apart so he'd fit between them, only to continue where he'd left of earlier, his hand back in Richards pants and his lips on the blondes, this time much more composed, before showering that ugly scar on his throat in kisses; something that Yujin didn't mind and had always wanted to see in the first place. "Can you lift your ass? I want to take off your pants ..." That'd be the next best thing, yes, but all of that aside, he was glad he just was glad to be with the person he loved so much, he'd spill his heart out to him if he let him. Bites around the blondes collarbone followed, they always would - some things never changed anyway. "And we need oil." It was rather blunt, though, there had never been any point in hiding his intentions - they were clear from the beginning.
      Looking back, it maybe is like the toy carts you rode when you were a kid. But those toy carts could never go beyond the walls of the lawn. We want to follow the rugged concrete road beyond the wall. As we've grown, we've decided to leave behind the toy cart.
    • Richard wasn't sure if he was okay with the fact that he didn't know at all what was going on in Yujins mind. What was he planning for tonight? Where would this go? As if now he seemingly was amused by Richard tone and face, by the redish color in his face and the slightly knitted brows. When ere they not when he was around this little goofball? "Guess what it is? Mh you probably want to fuck.", Richard answered rather bluntly and it wouldn't be the first time anyway. Yujin carried him here because outside he hardly could have looked at Richard as he did now, as if the blonde was a living map and Yujin tried to figure out the right path. He had to admit, he kind of looked like one with all the shades of blue, green and red that only slightly faded the past week. Yujin seemed enamoured by it, Richard wasn't sure about it all though. Was it a sig of strength, prove of survival, or more a totem of his weakness, much like his scar? If he had been stronger h wouldn't have been hurt in the first place.

      The scar was exposed too, by now Yujin saw it so often Richard didn't even mind anymore. He still hated it himself, but Yujin loved it for some reason and he went ahead to kiss it. Some of the touches Richard barely felt at all or on all the wrong spots with his nerves just being all over the place. Other made him shiver slightly because the skin there felt as thin as paper. Yujin avoided the deep colored spots on Richards body, though he really didn't have to, Richard doubted a kiss would hurt him. Yujin was insatiable sometims, especially today, but Richard didn't shut him down, instead he kissed him back, then gasped as he felt Yujins hand once more. His body was tingling, he needed that one arm to support his weight, while the other was rather useless, but Richard softly placed it on Yujins hip, moving past his clothing. Lifting his ass as Yujin called it wasn't that easy, but he complied and just hoped Yujin would be fast. It put a little bit of strain on his side, but nothing too major and the wound was already healing up quite well. "You sure you wanted a hundred kisses yourself, not give them to me?", Richard asked when Yujin started to use his lips and teeth again. He let his head fall back and closed his eyes and he enjoyed the slow tempo right now. The fingers of his injured hand played around Yujins waistband meanwhile, slightly stoking between skin and fabric, following his hip. Yujin gave Richard some oil to keep just in case and it proved useful right now, didn't it? "It's uh... in that small box over there...", he said, nodding at a wooden box that was placed next to the bed. There was some other stuff too, a book, something Richard apparently carved out of boredom, stuff like that.
    • A thousand kisses wouldn't be enough to shut him up, not tonight, and even if it would take all night, he had no intention of slowing down in his pursuit of all that he ever wanted, of Richard whom he'd never let go at this point and he was so fairly certain that every single time that he even glanced at him, he liked what he saw, more and more, as if he wasn't already hopelessly lost in his eyes and in love with him since ... it had been a while, hadn't it? Acting upon their impulses wasn't something that either of them weren't bad at, they excelled at it, to be frank, but there was rarely any communication that gave away what was going on in their heads - their voices weren't always honest, but their entanglements with one another were and would be. "Absolutely, however would you've figured that one out?", Yujin asked, feigning curiousity and innocense with a hint of naivety that wasn't there when it came to any of these topics. After all, he was the one that had deluded Richard into this the first time, that had tasted him once and somehow couldn't get enough of him - and by now, he seemingly shared this sentiment as well, which meant they both drove each other up the walls without needing to do much. Neither ofthem were particularly honest and that was fine, there was nothing that would change in that regard. Yujin pulled on Richards clothes once he'd made the effort to lift himself up, discarding all of it on the floor and by now, it very much felt odd that his own clothing was still dangling from his shoulders, that he hadn't even make an effort to shed more than the scarf, but he'd rather rope Richard into another kiss, or two, or three for that matter, until he ran out of air and had to take a short breather, unsure wherever to put that now free hand of his, lest he'd use it to support his bedmates endeavours to keep himself prepped up.

      "Either works, as long as its kisses, isn't it?" And there was no way of knowing how long it would take to accomplish any of that if neither of them kept count, which the wolf probably wouldn't do, having his mind preocuppied by the body before him, that hardly was draped in anything anymore aside from a few bandages anymore. There was no need to rush, Yujin told himself, and that was why all of his touches and kisses, wherever they went, where soft and slow, agonizingly slow, stroking Richard ever so slightly inbetween all those kisses, just enough to give him an idea of all that he already knew. He liked the soft touches he received in turn, the fingers that touched skin and fabric, then nothing, and then some more - for some reason, Richard always felt like he had to overexert himself, didn't he? "Box?", he asked, confused, but he decided to check it out regardless, moving away from a second and shedding some, but not all, of his own layers - he was warm, he always was when he'd been in here, but he also did both him and Richard a favor by making sure his hair was tied up, lest it'd spill over them like an endless waterfall and get everywhere. Yujin rummaged through the box, only looking at everything else that was in there in passing, before grabbing the small vial that the blonde had stuffed in there. "You didn't even use it, huh?", he laughed before he came back over to the bed, finally fumbling with his pants. "Do you want to get into a more comfortable position first?", Yujin asked eventually, kicking off his pants and underwear, alongside the rest of his clothing. The flames of the fireplace reflected onto both of them, yet, the orange hue that engulfed Richard was all the wolf needed to be absolutely mesmerized once more, taking slow steps to close the distance between him and the bed that he crawled back onto. "You look irresistible like this, did I ever tell you that?"
      Looking back, it maybe is like the toy carts you rode when you were a kid. But those toy carts could never go beyond the walls of the lawn. We want to follow the rugged concrete road beyond the wall. As we've grown, we've decided to leave behind the toy cart.
    • Not only the warmth was something Richard enjoyed in here, even though it was feeling nice to be free of all those layers of clothing and still not freezing, but the other things was that the fire was bringing color to the whole room. It wasn't like the cold and dark tent with the small lingering fire far away from them and it wasn't the icy blue castle that had no color but whit and blue either. Here everything was comfortable, cozy, not only the heaps of fur they sat on, but also the dancing shadows around them. "What else could it be with you?", Richard asked watching Yujin watch him again. Richard barely ever sat in front of him naked without grasping for his touch, mostly because he always felt so cold - not now though. He was fine like this, fine just sitting here without Yujins hot skin or a thick blanket to keep him warm. There was no need to drape anything over himself or the both of them. It was a nice change, a change he truly enjoyed and he was feeling relaxed while he enjoyed what Yujin did with him.

      Yujin usually went about all of this very fast and Richard did too, but today was different. Yujin was taking his time and so did Richard. He didn't want to rush ahead, because he didn't want Yujin to feel inclined to rush as well. He much rather enjoyed his lips on his skin and his hand moving slowly. Sitting straight under all of this was hard though, but he didn't move too much and still supported himself quite well, without faltering. It felt like something was missing when Yujin led go to search for the vial he once gave Richard. A lot of useless junk was strewn around the floor until he found it and came back. "What would I have used it for alone?", Richard asked. Didn't they have a deal? No sharing, Yujin didn't want that and Richard respected it, he didn't have interest in anyone else either. Richard watched Yujin take off his clothes, he watched his slim figure in front of the flames. "What position do you want?", Richard asked instead of just laying down, instead, for now he just moved a bit backwards so he could lean against the wall at his back. He watched Yujin coming closer and he couldn't shake off the feeling Yujin took it slow on purpose, so h could show off his own body. They were both rather slim, Richard never was one for having big muscles, his body was defined and probably more trained than Yujins, but that was about it. Yujin didn't have much fat on himself either though and the white moonlight from the window as well as the orange flames that reflected on his body made him look especially good. Richard even allowed himself to let his gaze wander over every little detail of Yujins body. "Like what?", Richard asked. "Bruised?"
    • Shadows danced along the walls all the time when he was here, but they also engulfed both of them, alongside an orange glow - and when there was no fire, on the rare occasion that it did happen, there was seemingly white and blue moonlight, entangling either of them. The colors were odd choices, unusually bright for a pale place like Silesse, and yet, they had something about them that captivated him, that would've otherwise told him off, but Yujin wasn't particularly superstitious, just oddly interested in things beyond his comprehension. None of this was a sign for anything, there was an explanation for all of this, and for the lack of a better word, it probably was because Richard had bewitched him, not by his own accord, but with whatever beauty he had to offer. "That sounds like all I want to do is fuck you, or get fucked by you. For the record, I do enjoy just being around you.", he scoffed, playing offended for just a second. This was what their relationship entailed, Yujin knew it fairly well - they met and then they did whatever they wanted, until it all fizzled out and they went their seperate ways, before meeting again sometime later. The past week had been different, much like their trip that had led them the gods knew where and Yujin wished, just for once, that they could've not been here, not in Silesse, but somewhere else, just the two of them, just by their lonesome.

      Watching Richard from a distance, counting the bruises and all the scars that he could momentarily find would probably be a fun activity, yet, despite the warmth in here - unlike outside - he still wanted to be ever closer, and as such, he did close the distance. If Richard had been anything but injured, he'd have rugged him up, maybe even stopped asking and would've just done things, but right now, as things were, he'd just hurt him and wouldn't make this an enjoyable experience for either of them. "Who knows. Nobody said you can't touch yourself.", he reminded him, but from the looks of it, Richard was none the wiser and seemingly never did anything like this - never tried, never felt like he should and Yujin often wasn't sure if he was pushing entirely or just partially wrong buttons. "Anything that's comfortable for you, but ... I want to look at you, maybe?" A simple suggestion, or rather plea; and all of that wouldn't be for naught - they both were trying to please one another, always making sure that they were onboard and had somewhat of the same idea, even if they didn't always align, Richard was breathtaking either way and Yujin was enjoying every last minute of it. "Bruised, exposed, desperate. All of those are nice, even on their own. I'd be lying if I say I didn't like the bruises, too, but I'd be happier if you had none." He'd not feel bad about planting that stupid idea in Richards head in the first place, though they'd already gone over that, summarized that none of this had been an issue. Yujin stole himself another kiss, mainly keeping his hands off of the blonde for now, until he made up his mind. "Actually, I kind of wish I could've tied you up, though, that's not your fault. That way I can't tease you, but I said no teasing." It would've made a nice display and they still had something they wanted to do with that stupid bed of his, too. Yujin reached for a strand of blonde hair, momentarily. "How about you let it grow out more so I can tie you up with it as well?" Given the fact that the blonde rather manhandled him than let himself be manhandled, that very likely was out of question.
      Looking back, it maybe is like the toy carts you rode when you were a kid. But those toy carts could never go beyond the walls of the lawn. We want to follow the rugged concrete road beyond the wall. As we've grown, we've decided to leave behind the toy cart.
    • "We've been around each other for a week now though...", Richard pointed out and during that week, nothing much had been happening. The first few days Richard had been too tried from his medication and he had been hurt too, the rest they spent together just talking, cuddling, eating with Nayantai and occasionally taking a stroll since Richard didn't want to lie in bed all day long. He was already feeling much better now though and his wounds have close up by now. There was no need to be overly gentle anymore, Richard didn't use his arm much, because he was conscious about it, the fact that it was bandaged helped, but that didn't mean he couldn't move it or it couldn't be touched. He wondered what Yujin saw right now, what it was that he liked. Maybe he imagined Richard slayed that bear just for him? He kind of did, without Yujin he would never have attended that ritual, but he had done it in the end. None the wiser if the elders approved of him or not, he at least knew that Yujin and Nayantai alike were immensely proud of him.

      "Are you touching yourself often?", Richard asked and imagined it was every other day. He didn't need oil to use his hand, so what the heck did he do instead...? Thrians were so weird sometimes. He also didn't need it with his girlfriend which made Richard wonder. "You don't need to worry about me, I'm fine.", Richard replied. Everything would be comfortable for him and Yujin was the one who should pick today. Richard thought about Yujins notion to be able to look at him and eventually changed position a little bit, laying on his back a little more instead of sitting up straight. "Imagining I defended your honor or something...?", Richard questioned. Well he would probably do something like that but the bear did nothing to offend Yujin, or did he? Yujin still kept his distance despite being close enough to steal a kiss and Richard patiently waited for him to decide what he wanted to do. "Who said you can't? If it hurts too much, or it feels uncomfortable, I'll just tell you. I can move my arm fine and the wrist isn't hurt either.", Richard replied looking at Yujin eventually grabbing his hand to lead it to one of the darks spots on his body. He made him press down just a little bit. "I'm not breakig easily..." Richard felt it, but it didn't hurt, not really. It was more like the feeling one got while massaging sore muscles. It kind of hurt, but it also kind of felt good. "I can't promise I won't cut it when it starts to annoy me..."
    • Yujin giggled, knowing fully well that there was nothing to giggle about - and yet, the blonde was right and had impeccable markmanship when it came to conversational or behavioral clues, at least when it so happened that it involved him and him alone. "All we did was cuddle and sleep. And I probably was a bit overbearing, wasn't I?", he voiced, almost apologetically. They had kept to themselves, at least in a sexual sense, and while that wasn't exactly an amazing feat, it also meant that they weren't just always after having sex with one another - it sounded silly in hindsight, very much so, yet they both were glued to one another like there wasn't anything - or anyone - else to do, most of the time at the very least. For all Yujin knew, Richard could lock himself up in this hut whenever they didn't meet and spend two weeks despairing about his own fate, all the while he himself pranced around and annoyed his friends for more than it was worth. Shouldn't he just take Richard with him next time, then? Who knew if he even liked it, and besides, Yujin already had plenty ideas of what he wanted to do rather sooner than later, of all the trips he was willing to take and fears he wanted to overcome, now that he decided to take matters in his own hands. "Pfft, no. Sometimes, but I have to feel like it - and contrary to what you're probably thinking, it doesn't happen all that often." All stalling they didn't wouldn't lead them anywhere, but Yujin was just happy that he did get a nice view of Richard, of all that made him, well, him and in that case, he didn't even need words anymore - he'd already told him that he was beautiful, that there hardly was anything else that he could want and he wondered whenever his brain had decided that he wasn't just in love with Richard, but rather somewhat obsessed with him as well. "I'm not worried, I just want you to be comfortable.", he countered, softly shaking his head as he came closer again, now that Richard had decided where and how he wanted to lay.

      They'd shift around again, somehow at the very least, but all that was for later and didn't matter right now - there hardly was anything else that he wanted to think of right now. "You'd make a fine knight, that much is true. Whatever you defended my honor or not, you are quite capable.", he complimented, and he meant it. The wolf knew that he himself would've probably been dead meat and served as the bears dinner, lunch, or whatever time of day it was - Richard, on the other hand, covered in a myriad of bruises, ranging in color from red to blue, purple to some odd yellowish-green, very much had the guts and the capabilities to fend for himself, or anyone else for that matter. "I said that, or at least I thought that I sh-", he didn't get much further, matters had been taken into the blondes own hands, quite literally at that and Yujin was, without a doubt, unsure of the sudden pressure that was exerted upon his hand. The blonde didn't seem to mind, yet, Yujin was the one that acted like he did - as if it hurt him more than his other half, which hardly could be the case. "I know. In fact, you might as well be the strongest person I know.", he mumbled, and he was right. Yujin was no match for Richard in the first place and he was sure that, if he was all healed up, Muhan wouldn't be an obstacle. That, however, wasn't the topic at hand, never should've been in the first place, and Yujin stole himself another kiss as a demonstration as he loomed over Richard, who'd hopefully be cozy enough in his nest, made of nothing but fur. "We both want to feel good, so anything is fine - you can be honest." Neither of them were quite good at that, and yet, Yujin took it upon himself to let his hands move once more, feel up the bruised body beneath him for a while, making sure to press down on some of the darker spots along the way, never staying in place for long. They had one vial of oil and plenty of ideas between each other, something that seemed almost absurd, but good enough - and Yujin didn't make a show out of opening up the vial and coating his fingers in oil, or the very fact that he was blushing all by himself now, not anxious enough to express frustrations, but riled up enough to seem overexcited. Taking it slow was all Yujin wanted, but that didn't stop him from prodding or sticking one, then two oil-coated fingers into Richard, and moving at quite the average pace instead of painfully slow like before. "Do you have anything you want?", he questioned, as if their deal was going to be mutual while they were at it; Yujin didn't want to take all the spoils, have whatever he wanted and not give Richard anything he might as well like, no. With one hand occupied, he justed the other to support his own weight, hopelessly lost in the eyes of his bedmate at this point. Weren't they beautiful? Richard would probably be angry over that thought alone, but maybe Yujin was wrong and just too up in his head, so he opted to torture Richards throat with a would-be plethora of hickeys instead. If anything, he was insatiable.
      Looking back, it maybe is like the toy carts you rode when you were a kid. But those toy carts could never go beyond the walls of the lawn. We want to follow the rugged concrete road beyond the wall. As we've grown, we've decided to leave behind the toy cart.
    • "No... I liked having you here...", Richard mumbled with a slight shake of his head. even though he might not have looked it and it was his very own decision to leave tomorrow, it was hard to let go of Yujin. He enjoyed the last week, the time together, the tenderness and care, even though he never wanted to end up in an emotional place like that. He knew he had to leave again, he knew he couldn't have stayed here and he was convinced that even love or anything of that sort would be able to keep him away from what he thought was the right thing to do. Even more than anything else however, he was scared of loosing someone else that was dear to him and still he let Yujin come incredibly close and also let Nayantai back into his heart that he had shut away for quite some while. Now leaving was harder than he had anticipated, but he still was going through with it, no matter what. "Why did you act so surprised when I didn't use it then?", Richard scuffed, Yujins eyes still glued at him. "I am comfortable.", he answered, "It's much warmer than usual."

      "I'm far from a knight...", Richard sighed, if he were maybe he wouldn't be here in the first place. And a knight, someone with honor in his heart, that wouldn't be the person going back to Adrestia to slay every person remotely responsible for his siblings deaths. He'd hide in the shadows, kill people in their sleep if he had to and that was nothing an honorable knight would ever do. Yujins hand lay on Richards chest now and he looked at him with a stern gaze. "It doesn't hurt, see?", he simply hammered home once more. "Strong? Don't you mean stubborn and... somewhat stupid?", Richard asked with another sigh. He fought a bear almost two times his size and he payed for it. He took the next kiss gratefully even though it could have lasted longer and he looked at Yujin looking back down at him. "I am honest, stop worrying.", Richard said once more, with a scuff this time, he wasn't made out of glass, but at least Yujin didn't avoid the bruises anymore and he seemingly tested if Richard would flinch because of any pressure. He didn't, he just watched Yujin touch him and moved his hurt arm to touch Yujin again as well. his fingers softly wandered over his chest, side and hip, then to his upper thigh and back. He watched him blush and prepare something Richard wasn't sure about yet but he soon enough felt his fingers and let out a short moan. The touch made him shiver slightly and his usual kind of grumpy expression softened up. "Didn't I tell you it's your time to pick...?", he asked, besides, he wasn't very creative when it came to things like these.
