He tips his head a fraction, gives Mystery room to do as he pleases. His arm around Mystery's waist stays where it is, his other hand reaching, sliding a hand up Mystery's back to rest between his shoulder blades, thumb rubbing over his shirt. ]
It's alright, Mystery. Really. [ A light kiss to his temple. ] Next time.
[he breathes another sigh, this one a little softer, slower. he doesn't want to pull away, but it feels like he's being too much again, and he isn't sure how to deal with that, particularly when romance is comforting him. ultimately, his head does lift and he pulls back just enough so he can look at him, one hand lifting to drift along his cheek.]
[ He's not the one who just ate someone who wrote bad poetry, so...perspective.
He tips his head into Mystery's hand, turning his face to press a kiss to his palm. He sighs against his skin, lashes brushing his cheeks when he briefly closes his eyes to savor. Is he allowed this, this intimacy, this tentative happiness? Surely this will go sour eventually. ]
Come, darling. Take me to bed. [ For fooling around, or just a cuddle. He doesn't care. ]
[yeah, he's still kind of thinking about that, too. not as much as he was but.
mystery blinks lightly following the kiss to his palm, the tips of his ears pinkening at such a sweet gesture, but he lets his hand linger near romance's cheek, fingertips brushing every now and then. if he's allowed to have it, romance is as well. as for if it will sour, well... mystery has no reason to let it.]
Okay. [then he pulls back, just so he can see where he's going, one arm staying wrapped around romance's waist as he guides them along to his room.]
[ It should probably alarm him, but also...they're demons, soooo. meh. Romance doesn't feel bad. He'll only feel bad if it genuinely freaked Mystery out.
He stays pressed close, arm also slipped around him, letting his head rest on Mystery's shoulder as they move. Once in and that door shut, he'll wrap him up again, pull him into a devastating kiss. ]
[maybe a little, but mystery isn't nearly freaked out enough for it to matter, just a little regretful; the person didn't seem like he was being rude, after all, even though romance insists he was being disrespectful. he will simply force himself to understand that to the best of his ability.
it feels nice, having romance's head on his shoulder, though it feels even better to be kissing him. he lets one hand drift into romance's hair, fingers sliding easily through the strands, his lips parting without hesitation so he can coax him into a deeper kiss.]
Romance's kiss is deep and hungry, and he's backing Mystery up towards the bed, a hand on his back and one gripping his ass. He didn't necessarily expect to get frisky, but he can't help what he is and Mystery is so utterly kissable. ]
[perhaps not, but he's sticking to it, regardless.
his hand in romance's hair lowers, resting against his shoulder while the opposite arm hooks around him, holding them together despite the fact he's being backed up toward the bed. once he reaches it, he lets himself sit, his hand curling in romance's shirt and pulling him down as well. it's fine, he didn't expect it either, but he's certainly not complaining.]
[once romance is resting in his lap, mystery moves both arms to settle around his waist, a soft little hum passing his lips at the nip. something sweet? hmmm.]
Ah... Baby did share some jelly candies with me earlier.
[definitely better than where he was earlier, surrounded by people that didn't matter. here, with romance in his lap, he feels something, something indescribable and warm and reassuring. he chuckles softly, leaning to rest their foreheads together.]
[well, whatever he's doing that makes him taste sweet, he'll keep doing it, even though it amuses him to no end that romance thinks he's sweet of all things.
and if he can make romance at least try, that's something, isn't it?]
[ It's...something, sure. He can make an effort, anyway. Not that he'll be successful, but it's the thought that counts. ]
More than like it. [ He's leaning in again, licking at Mystery's lips, dropping a hand to slide it around his waist and slip up the back of his shirt. ]
[yeah, it definitely is, and mystery will appreciate it either way, even though he thinks romance can do no wrong.
he hums a delighted little sound, tilting to meet romance with ease, his mouth opening as soon as they're together so he can let romance delve in as he likes, the sensation of his hand moving up his shirt causing him to shiver faintly.]
[ He traces over Mystery's skin and leans in, teeth dragging over his lower lip. Skin is warm under his fingertips and he smiles, sucking on his lower lip before easing away just enough to murmur against his mouth. ]
[sometimes, mystery isn't quite sure what to do when things like this happen. his heartbeat skips, but instead of letting it distract him, he surges forward, catches romance's mouth in another kiss after those teeth find his lower lip, then he draws back with a huff, both of his hands sliding up romance's back to grip his shirt.]
[ Romance thinks its fairly obvious what should be done, but in case Mystery is wondering, he stays pressed close, a little rock of his hips as he drapes himself all over Mystery. ]
I'll take good care of it, then. [ He reaches up, traces a fingertip down Mystery's cheek, over the line of his jaw. He's going to keep you. ]
[his hands immediately drop to romance's hips, fingers gripping tight as he rolls up to meet the motion, another breath catching in his throat when he does. he knows he probably looks like a gaping fish out of water, but he doesn't careβ he's just too enthralled with romance to be bothered by it.]
Do you promise? [mystery leans into the touch with a soft, breathy little noise, his eyes sinking shut. clearly, he wants to be kept, if his attempt at pressing impossibly closer is any indication.]
[ He looks beautiful, in Romance's very professional opinion. Lovely as sin. ]
I promise. [ He brushes his thumb over Mystery's lips, slow and sweeping, tipping his head to study him before leaning in to murmur in Mystery's ear (wherever it is). ] For as long as you let me.
[ or, you know. longer. because he's crazy and won't let go easy. ]
[funny, he was going to say the same for romance, even though he thinks he's prettier than he is.
mystery exhales a breath against romance's thumb, his head tilting down slightly, his attention lowering as well, at least until romance moves to murmur in his ear. he swallows hard, flexes his hands on romance's hips then moves them up his back again, reaching until he can clasp his shoulders and hold on tight.] For however long you want me.
[which he has no idea how long that might last? people usually grow tired of him after a while and he's accepted that; it'd be far more surprising to have someone who will stay.]
[ His hand slides from Mystery's cheek through his hair to cup the back of his head, winding strands around his fingers to gently grip. A slight turn of his head has him pressing lips to Mystery's hair, a soft puff of warm breath slipping from between his lips.
He's going to be surprised when Romance is crawling all over him until the day they go to die. ]
[he stays very still for the moment, probably stiller than is necessary, but he doesn't want to disturb whatever it is romance is doing. those fingers grip his hair and he holds his breath, curling his fingers in romance's shirt, an exhale following his once he's realized that romance is just. holding him? like it's the only thing he'll ever do again.
and yes, he will be thoroughly surprised when that happens and completely heartbroken when they're torn apart.]
[ Romance is only holding him like the treasure he is, curling his hand around the back of his head, sliding an arm around his waist, pressing their heads together. Mystery is his precious jewel, and deserves to be treated as such.
Hence the soul eating. How dare that fool read bad poetry to his diamond? He deserved what he got. ]
