AU #666: A TINGE OF DOUBT CROSSES MY MIND

[halfcocked]

[sprawled on Hakuren's bed with his laptop, dicking around on Google again; without preamble, begins to read in an attempt at a silky voice:]


I dream'd this mortal part of mine
Was Metamorphoz'd to a Vine;
Which crawling one and every way
Enthralled my dainty Lucia.
Me thought, her long small legs & thighs
I with my Tendrils did surprize;
Her Belly, Buttocks, and her Waste
By my soft Nerv'lits were--


--her what? This one sucks! Lemme find a better one. Her waste!?

[sob, grooooans and tries reaching over to pet Burupya]

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

[pets Burupya soothingly, keeping his voice even]

You know Devit, he's a friend, it's all right, it's fine ...

[swornmyoaths.livejournal.com]

[...allows]

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

[sighs, relieved]

Yeah, okay, that's a good boy, go find your Potato now . . .

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

[still petting, still comforting >: and swinging his legs off the bed, moving carefully for the door]

It's all right, I didn't mind him doing that, it's okay -- Devit, grab his toy -- you don't have to protect me from him ...

[swornmyoaths.livejournal.com]

Rrr...rrt.

[nuzzles Hakuren's arm]

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

[grabs the toy and follows after taking a moment to do his pants back up]

He's into it . . .

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

[scritches]

I don't mind what he does, all right? You know him, he wouldn't hurt me ...

[opening the door and crouching down to let Burupya outside the room]

[swornmyoaths.livejournal.com]

Brruu!

[sits]

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

[tosses the feathery toy out into the hall]

Go get it!

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

[makes a bit of a shooing motion]

It's okay, you can go play with Teito and Capella, I'll be fine.

[swornmyoaths.livejournal.com]

...pya!

[runs away towards Teito's room, ignoring the toy]

Pya! Pya! Burupya!

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

[watches him go]

. . . He's not gonna go tell him or something, is he?

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

It depends on how much he remembers of this -- let me see your arm.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

Ugh . . .

[starts leading Hakuren back to the bed, holding out his arm--the burn is already mostly gone]

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

[examining the arm :( even if it looks better now, being careful with it]

I'm sorry, I didn't even know he was in here --

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

[flops on the bed and covers his face with a pillow orz]

Cursed! We've got a curse! But you got to get off!

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

[sits next to, still petting Devit's arm as the burn heals]

... that has to be everyone at this point.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

[it's going fast ;o; shifting over to lean against Hakuren, though]

The dragon twice, even . . .

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

[still petting, the same kind of soothing ones he used on Burupya]

I didn't really think he'd ever do that -- he's only ever bitten people for Teito, before ...

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

[sets the pillow aside and rolls over to drape on him]

He thought I was attacking you?

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

[leans their heads together, still petting]

... you do like biting me ...

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

It's fine, it doesn't hurt . . .

You like it when I bite you!

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

[not stopping, though]

I don't think he's really aware of that, though.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

[nuzzling vaguely and comfortably into his neck]

. . . I kinda hope not.
