[barty-not-bartemius]

Barty stumbled out of James' closet, falling into his arms and grinning up at him. "Hiiii, Jamieeeee."

[deerestbybuddyholly]

"Barty. Why were you in my closet. Also how long have you been in my closet?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

@rosiers--and--thorns (in private)

you should probably get your journal out for tracking the off the meds thing

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Well, I'll keep that in mind when planning anniversary ideas this year." Evan states as he kisses Barty again.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty grins as his hands find their way up Evan's shirt.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan breaks the kiss so he can pull his shirt off, then he goes back down and kisses Barty again, a little rougher than last time.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty moves up against the headboard, pulling Evan onto his lap.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"You're still up for more, huh? You haven't been this eager in months.." Evan states between kisses

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I know," Barty mumbles against Evan's lips.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

@rosiers--and--thorns (in private)

[rosiers--and--thorns]

I've already started love. You said it been roughly a week, so I added 6 days already, plus the ones from here on out.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Well don't you need my feelings and shit

[rosiers--and--thorns]

I assumed you were doing that in your own journal. I started tracking your changes in behavior. But yes, we can track those in here as well. Do you want to text me what to write, or should I bring the journal to you, you write it in yourself and I read later?

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

You should bring me thr journal

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Be in in a minute.

Evan walks into their bedroom after a few minutes and sits next to Barty, handing him the notebook. "Want me to leave or stay?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Stay," Barty said while taking out a pen and chewing on the edge a bit before writing anything down.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan kisses Barty's head, then leans back against the pillows, shutting his eyes and waiting.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Once Barty was finished writing he shut the joirnal and put it on the nightstand, "don't open it until I'm gone," Barty ordered before sliding down next to Evan.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan smiles and pulls Barty closer, "Okay amour. He kisses Barty's forehead. "Anything you want."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Have I ever mentioned how much I fucking love it when you call me that?" Barty grinned

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Only a million times." Evan hums, playing with Barty's hair.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"not enough."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Well I know you mean it a billion times more than that. I'm just thinking the times you verbalized it."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Good."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"What can I do for you right now, amour?" Evan asks as he brings his hands down to Barty's hips. "You've been so upset the past few weeks, how can I make you feel better?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Just be here, rosa," Barty leans up to kiss the mole on Evan's top lip, "I just need you here."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan leans in and tries to make it a real kiss but Barty moves away before he can do that, "Can I get some real kisses..?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty rubs Evan's bottom lip with his thumb, dragging it around slowly. "Maybe..."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan moves forward and bites Barty's thumb, grinning while holding it with his teeth.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Make it bleed, will you?"

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan chuckles and lets go, "Licking blood up is your thing. I just cut myself up for you.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"But it's been so long since you did it!" Barty whined.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Will it make you happy?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Very."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Can I at least cut you up instead of biting? It's cleaner."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Whatever you want."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Yes, yes, yes!" Evan gets up out of bed, running out of the bedroom to grab his knife set from his office.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty grinned and quickly took off his sweatshirt, throwing on the floor and spreading out on their bed.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan comes back in, opening the knife pouch and laying it out on the nightstand. "Okay, what are your rules and limits tonight, amour? Where is off limits?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"No legs and no going over old scars," Barty answered.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Okay, that's cool." Evan goes to the bathroom and grabs some cleaning solutions, bandages and gauze, then comes back in and sets those aside. "Alright, so I was thinking some along the arms, maybe a little by the waist, then last at the neck then wrap it up?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"No neck. You can do my shoulders and collarbone but no neck."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan pouts slightly, "Can I kiss and leave pretty hickeys on your neck? Or is neck a no touching zone at all today?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty closed his eyes, "no touching at all today."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Okay, okay." Evan puts the scalpel, some cloths, and a few other items on his side of the bed, then gets on top of Barty. He takes Barty's hand and kisses it, "Amour, can I start?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty silently nods his head.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan kisses Barty's hand again, then turns Barty's arm around. He traces the scalpel a few times over Barty's skin, just leaving minor scratches, no cuts. Eventually he does a horizontal incision over the middle of the forearm, then pulls slightly on the surrounding skin for it to bleed more.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty sharply sucked in a breath.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan leans down and kisses the wound, grinning as Barty shudders. "Still in the green, my love?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty made a strange noise in the back of his throat before nodding and squeezing his eyes shut.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"I need a yes or a no, love. That's a rule of this."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty groaned, "ye- yeah."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan smiled and kissed the wound again, causing Barty to flinch. "Good boy."

He puts his thumb to the wound and smears to blood onto Barty's skin. "You're such a pretty red y'know."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I-" barty started, biting his lip and nodding.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Flash a smile for me, gorgeous?" Evsn hums, running the scalpel against Barty's skin again.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty grins and presses his head back against the mattress.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan starts cutting again, a little further up the arm this time. He adjusts his weight so he's sitting on Barty's hips to still Barty as he started moving.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty grinded his hips against Evan's, still grinning and opened his eyes to look up at Evan.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"You're gonna make me do a bad cut if you keep moving." Evan comments but there's no bite behind it; they both know that Barty could be having a seizure under Evan, and Evan would still make a perfect cut.

Evan grabs a cloth and dabs at the cut because it's bleeding a lot. "Giving me so much aren't you love.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty nods hurriedly, his eyes watering slightly. "mhm."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan bandages the one wound as a precaution, but then settles the scalpel on Barty's chest. "Still green?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Yeah," Barty said breathlessly, "still green."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan makes a sharp cut over one of Barty's ribs.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty sucked in a sharp breath and gripped the edge of the mattress. "Fuck," he muttered when Evan pressed down.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan grins at Barty's reaction. He leans down and licks the cut, loving how Barty hisses in pain, "Good boy.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty's hand moved down toward Evan's and he interlocked their fingers, his nails scraping the back of his (Evan's) hand.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan moves onto his knees, then brings his hand above Barty's head as he leans down to kiss Barty.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty leaned up into the kiss, biting down on Evan's bottom lip.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan grins at the familiar warm taste of iron on their lips. He changes his hold on the scalpel to make sure it doesn't cut Barty while he's not looking, but he allows the cold dull side to press against Barty's skin as they kiss.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty flinched from the cold metal, "fuck, ev," he moaned into Evan's mouth.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan lets go of Barty's hand, and brings his hand to cup Barty's chin, getting blood onto Barty's jaw. He pulls away from the kiss grinning, his bit lip oozing some blood. "You're so pretty sweetheart.. I love your voice, it's so beautiful.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I've missed this," barty whispered, wiping away the blood and putting it in his own mouth.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan smiles and brings his bloody hand up to Barty's lips, "Me too amour.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty pulled Evan down by his hair, nipping at his jaw.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan stays still, letting Barty kiss and bite.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"You can touch my neck now," Barty says as he rests his head on Evan's shoulder.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Alright amour," Evan murmurs as he peppers kisses on the top of Barty's head. He moves back, sitting on Barty's hips again so he can kiss Evan's chest. He brings the scalpel back onto Barty, about to cut, then he looks up to Barty for permission.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty nods his head, his hands gripping Evan's thighs.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan cuts a line mirroring the first over Barty's ribs.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty smiles and stays still for Evan, letting him do whatever he needs.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Good boy, trying to be all still.." Evan cuts another deep line, making Barty gasp loudly and tense up. Evan licks up the blood as it start bleeding kinda badly, "You bleed so easily, it's adorable."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I'm not sure that's the word most would use," Barty teased.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Are we most people?" Evan asks, pressing down on the wound.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"No. We're nothing like them."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Being normal is boring after all." Evan runs the scalpel across Barty's stomach. "How many more you want, amour?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I'm getting tired, just about 1 or 2 more."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan reaches for his knives and grabs another knife, this one is smaller than the one he had been using. "Can I do one across your sternum; center of your chest? Or close to clavicle is better."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Clavicle is better."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan hums at that and positions his knife slightly below Barty's left clavicle, and starts slowly carving a small heart.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty looks down as much as he can but still can't see what Evan was doing. "What are you drawing?"

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"A little heart. Like the scar from ages ago on your inner thigh." Evan answers while focusing on carefully cutting this.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Oh. I wanna give you one next time."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan smiles sweetly at the thought, "I'd love that dear." He finishes the cut, then kisses Barty, "Feeling good love?

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Yes. So much better," Barty leans back and pulls Evan with him.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"No, no, no. Love I need to properly clean and bandage everything, then we can cuddle."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty sighed, and let go of Evan. "Fine."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Unless you want these all green and pussy." Evan laughs, grabbing the bandages and meds.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Just come here and bandage them already," Barty mumbles.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan quickly bandages the different wounds, then lies on top of Barty again, softly kissing him on the lips.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty's hand slid down to Evan's back, rubbing it gently and kisses him back.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan breaks the kiss, "Thank you amour.. I loved doing all that.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"It felt so wonderful..."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"You were slipping a few times. I didn't want you to go nonverbal for the night though, so i kept asking questions. Sorry if that ticked you off."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"It's fine. I was just overwhelmed."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"As long as you were having a good time, I don't care how you're reacting." Evan mumbles as he kisses along Barty's jaw.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I was having a fucking great time..." Barty says as his hands get lost in Evan's hair.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Better than being high?" Evan asks teasingly

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Definitely. I was with you after all."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan laughs "Okay. Well here's a question; what's better, these sessions or when we're shagging while high together? Or is too close to call."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Shagging while high. No question about it."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

@rosiers--and--thorns (in private)

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan stays still, letting Barty kiss and bite.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"You can touch my neck now," Barty says as he rests his head on Evan's shoulder.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Alright amour," Evan murmurs as he peppers kisses on the top of Barty's head. He moves back, sitting on Barty's hips again so he can kiss Evan's chest. He brings the scalpel back onto Barty, about to cut, then he looks up to Barty for permission.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty nods his head, his hands gripping Evan's thighs.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan cuts a line mirroring the first over Barty's ribs.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty smiles and stays still for Evan, letting him do whatever he needs.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Good boy, trying to be all still.." Evan cuts another deep line, making Barty gasp loudly and tense up. Evan licks up the blood as it start bleeding kinda badly, "You bleed so easily, it's adorable."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I'm not sure that's the word most would use," Barty teased.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Are we most people?" Evan asks, pressing down on the wound.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"No. We're nothing like them."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Being normal is boring after all." Evan runs the scalpel across Barty's stomach. "How many more you want, amour?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I'm getting tired, just about 1 or 2 more."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan reaches for his knives and grabs another knife, this one is smaller than the one he had been using. "Can I do one across your sternum; center of your chest? Or close to clavicle is better."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Clavicle is better."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan hums at that and positions his knife slightly below Barty's left clavicle, and starts slowly carving a small heart.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty looks down as much as he can but still can't see what Evan was doing. "What are you drawing?"

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"A little heart. Like the scar from ages ago on your inner thigh." Evan answers while focusing on carefully cutting this.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Oh. I wanna give you one next time."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan smiles sweetly at the thought, "I'd love that dear." He finishes the cut, then kisses Barty, "Feeling good love?

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Yes. So much better," Barty leans back and pulls Evan with him.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"No, no, no. Love I need to properly clean and bandage everything, then we can cuddle."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty sighed, and let go of Evan. "Fine."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Unless you want these all green and pussy." Evan laughs, grabbing the bandages and meds.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Just come here and bandage them already," Barty mumbles.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan quickly bandages the different wounds, then lies on top of Barty again, softly kissing him on the lips.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty's hand slid down to Evan's back, rubbing it gently and kisses him back.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan breaks the kiss, "Thank you amour.. I loved doing all that.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"It felt so wonderful..."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"You were slipping a few times. I didn't want you to go nonverbal for the night though, so i kept asking questions. Sorry if that ticked you off."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"It's fine. I was just overwhelmed."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"As long as you were having a good time, I don't care how you're reacting." Evan mumbles as he kisses along Barty's jaw.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I was having a fucking great time..." Barty says as his hands get lost in Evan's hair.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Better than being high?" Evan asks teasingly

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Definitely. I was with you after all."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

@rosiers--and--thorns (in private)

you should probably get your journal out for tracking the off the meds thing

[rosiers--and--thorns]

I've already started love. You said it been roughly a week, so I added 6 days already, plus the ones from here on out.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Well don't you need my feelings and shit

[rosiers--and--thorns]

I assumed you were doing that in your own journal. I started tracking your changes in behavior. But yes, we can track those in here as well. Do you want to text me what to write, or should I bring the journal to you, you write it in yourself and I read later?

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

You should bring me thr journal

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Be in in a minute.

Evan walks into their bedroom after a few minutes and sits next to Barty, handing him the notebook. "Want me to leave or stay?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Stay," Barty said while taking out a pen and chewing on the edge a bit before writing anything down.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan kisses Barty's head, then leans back against the pillows, shutting his eyes and waiting.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Once Barty was finished writing he shut the joirnal and put it on the nightstand, "don't open it until I'm gone," Barty ordered before sliding down next to Evan.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan smiles and pulls Barty closer, "Okay amour. He kisses Barty's forehead. "Anything you want."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Have I ever mentioned how much I fucking love it when you call me that?" Barty grinned

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Only a million times." Evan hums, playing with Barty's hair.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"not enough."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Well I know you mean it a billion times more than that. I'm just thinking the times you verbalized it."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Good."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"What can I do for you right now, amour?" Evan asks as he brings his hands down to Barty's hips. "You've been so upset the past few weeks, how can I make you feel better?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Just be here, rosa," Barty leans up to kiss the mole on Evan's top lip, "I just need you here."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan leans in and tries to make it a real kiss but Barty moves away before he can do that, "Can I get some real kisses..?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty rubs Evan's bottom lip with his thumb, dragging it around slowly. "Maybe..."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan moves forward and bites Barty's thumb, grinning while holding it with his teeth.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Make it bleed, will you?"

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan chuckles and lets go, "Licking blood up is your thing. I just cut myself up for you.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"But it's been so long since you did it!" Barty whined.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Will it make you happy?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Very."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Can I at least cut you up instead of biting? It's cleaner."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Whatever you want."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Yes, yes, yes!" Evan gets up out of bed, running out of the bedroom to grab his knife set from his office.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty grinned and quickly took off his sweatshirt, throwing on the floor and spreading out on their bed.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan comes back in, opening the knife pouch and laying it out on the nightstand. "Okay, what are your rules and limits tonight, amour? Where is off limits?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"No legs and no going over old scars," Barty answered.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Okay, that's cool." Evan goes to the bathroom and grabs some cleaning solutions, bandages and gauze, then comes back in and sets those aside. "Alright, so I was thinking some along the arms, maybe a little by the waist, then last at the neck then wrap it up?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"No neck. You can do my shoulders and collarbone but no neck."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan pouts slightly, "Can I kiss and leave pretty hickeys on your neck? Or is neck a no touching zone at all today?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty closed his eyes, "no touching at all today."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Okay, okay." Evan puts the scalpel, some cloths, and a few other items on his side of the bed, then gets on top of Barty. He takes Barty's hand and kisses it, "Amour, can I start?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty silently nods his head.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan kisses Barty's hand again, then turns Barty's arm around. He traces the scalpel a few times over Barty's skin, just leaving minor scratches, no cuts. Eventually he does a horizontal incision over the middle of the forearm, then pulls slightly on the surrounding skin for it to bleed more.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty sharply sucked in a breath.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan leans down and kisses the wound, grinning as Barty shudders. "Still in the green, my love?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty made a strange noise in the back of his throat before nodding and squeezing his eyes shut.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"I need a yes or a no, love. That's a rule of this."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty groaned, "ye- yeah."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan smiled and kissed the wound again, causing Barty to flinch. "Good boy."

He puts his thumb to the wound and smears to blood onto Barty's skin. "You're such a pretty red y'know."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I-" barty started, biting his lip and nodding.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Flash a smile for me, gorgeous?" Evsn hums, running the scalpel against Barty's skin again.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty grins and presses his head back against the mattress.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan starts cutting again, a little further up the arm this time. He adjusts his weight so he's sitting on Barty's hips to still Barty as he started moving.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty grinded his hips against Evan's, still grinning and opened his eyes to look up at Evan.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"You're gonna make me do a bad cut if you keep moving." Evan comments but there's no bite behind it; they both know that Barty could be having a seizure under Evan, and Evan would still make a perfect cut.

Evan grabs a cloth and dabs at the cut because it's bleeding a lot. "Giving me so much aren't you love.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty nods hurriedly, his eyes watering slightly. "mhm."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan bandages the one wound as a precaution, but then settles the scalpel on Barty's chest. "Still green?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Yeah," Barty said breathlessly, "still green."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan makes a sharp cut over one of Barty's ribs.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty sucked in a sharp breath and gripped the edge of the mattress. "Fuck," he muttered when Evan pressed down.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan grins at Barty's reaction. He leans down and licks the cut, loving how Barty hisses in pain, "Good boy.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty's hand moved down toward Evan's and he interlocked their fingers, his nails scraping the back of his (Evan's) hand.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan moves onto his knees, then brings his hand above Barty's head as he leans down to kiss Barty.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty leaned up into the kiss, biting down on Evan's bottom lip.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan grins at the familiar warm taste of iron on their lips. He changes his hold on the scalpel to make sure it doesn't cut Barty while he's not looking, but he allows the cold dull side to press against Barty's skin as they kiss.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty flinched from the cold metal, "fuck, ev," he moaned into Evan's mouth.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan lets go of Barty's hand, and brings his hand to cup Barty's chin, getting blood onto Barty's jaw. He pulls away from the kiss grinning, his bit lip oozing some blood. "You're so pretty sweetheart.. I love your voice, it's so beautiful.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I've missed this," barty whispered, wiping away the blood and putting it in his own mouth.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan smiles and brings his bloody hand up to Barty's lips, "Me too amour.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty pulled Evan down by his hair, nipping at his jaw.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan stays still, letting Barty kiss and bite.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"You can touch my neck now," Barty says as he rests his head on Evan's shoulder.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan cuts a line mirroring the first over Barty's ribs.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty smiles and stays still for Evan, letting him do whatever he needs.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I'm not sure that's the word most would use," Barty teased.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Are we most people?" Evan asks, pressing down on the wound.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"No. We're nothing like them."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Being normal is boring after all." Evan runs the scalpel across Barty's stomach. "How many more you want, amour?"

"Clavicle is better."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty looks down as much as he can but still can't see what Evan was doing. "What are you drawing?"

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"A little heart. Like the scar from ages ago on your inner thigh." Evan answers while focusing on carefully cutting this.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Oh. I wanna give you one next time."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan smiles sweetly at the thought, "I'd love that dear." He finishes the cut, then kisses Barty, "Feeling good love?

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Yes. So much better," Barty leans back and pulls Evan with him.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"No, no, no. Love I need to properly clean and bandage everything, then we can cuddle."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty sighed, and let go of Evan. "Fine."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty's hand slid down to Evan's back, rubbing it gently and kisses him back.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan breaks the kiss, "Thank you amour.. I loved doing all that.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"It felt so wonderful..."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"You were slipping a few times. I didn't want you to go nonverbal for the night though, so i kept asking questions. Sorry if that ticked you off."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"It's fine. I was just overwhelmed."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

@rosiers--and--thorns (in private)

you should probably get your journal out for tracking the off the meds thing

[rosiers--and--thorns]

I've already started love. You said it been roughly a week, so I added 6 days already, plus the ones from here on out.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Well don't you need my feelings and shit

[rosiers--and--thorns]

I assumed you were doing that in your own journal. I started tracking your changes in behavior. But yes, we can track those in here as well. Do you want to text me what to write, or should I bring the journal to you, you write it in yourself and I read later?

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

You should bring me thr journal

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Be in in a minute.

Evan walks into their bedroom after a few minutes and sits next to Barty, handing him the notebook. "Want me to leave or stay?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Stay," Barty said while taking out a pen and chewing on the edge a bit before writing anything down.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan kisses Barty's head, then leans back against the pillows, shutting his eyes and waiting.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Once Barty was finished writing he shut the joirnal and put it on the nightstand, "don't open it until I'm gone," Barty ordered before sliding down next to Evan.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan smiles and pulls Barty closer, "Okay amour. He kisses Barty's forehead. "Anything you want."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Have I ever mentioned how much I fucking love it when you call me that?" Barty grinned

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Only a million times." Evan hums, playing with Barty's hair.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"not enough."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Well I know you mean it a billion times more than that. I'm just thinking the times you verbalized it."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Good."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"What can I do for you right now, amour?" Evan asks as he brings his hands down to Barty's hips. "You've been so upset the past few weeks, how can I make you feel better?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Just be here, rosa," Barty leans up to kiss the mole on Evan's top lip, "I just need you here."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan leans in and tries to make it a real kiss but Barty moves away before he can do that, "Can I get some real kisses..?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty rubs Evan's bottom lip with his thumb, dragging it around slowly. "Maybe..."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan moves forward and bites Barty's thumb, grinning while holding it with his teeth.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Make it bleed, will you?"

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan chuckles and lets go, "Licking blood up is your thing. I just cut myself up for you.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"But it's been so long since you did it!" Barty whined.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Will it make you happy?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Very."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Can I at least cut you up instead of biting? It's cleaner."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Whatever you want."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Yes, yes, yes!" Evan gets up out of bed, running out of the bedroom to grab his knife set from his office.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty grinned and quickly took off his sweatshirt, throwing on the floor and spreading out on their bed.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan comes back in, opening the knife pouch and laying it out on the nightstand. "Okay, what are your rules and limits tonight, amour? Where is off limits?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"No legs and no going over old scars," Barty answered.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Okay, that's cool." Evan goes to the bathroom and grabs some cleaning solutions, bandages and gauze, then comes back in and sets those aside. "Alright, so I was thinking some along the arms, maybe a little by the waist, then last at the neck then wrap it up?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"No neck. You can do my shoulders and collarbone but no neck."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan pouts slightly, "Can I kiss and leave pretty hickeys on your neck? Or is neck a no touching zone at all today?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty closed his eyes, "no touching at all today."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Okay, okay." Evan puts the scalpel, some cloths, and a few other items on his side of the bed, then gets on top of Barty. He takes Barty's hand and kisses it, "Amour, can I start?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty silently nods his head.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan kisses Barty's hand again, then turns Barty's arm around. He traces the scalpel a few times over Barty's skin, just leaving minor scratches, no cuts. Eventually he does a horizontal incision over the middle of the forearm, then pulls slightly on the surrounding skin for it to bleed more.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty sharply sucked in a breath.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan leans down and kisses the wound, grinning as Barty shudders. "Still in the green, my love?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty made a strange noise in the back of his throat before nodding and squeezing his eyes shut.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"I need a yes or a no, love. That's a rule of this."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty groaned, "ye- yeah."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan smiled and kissed the wound again, causing Barty to flinch. "Good boy."

He puts his thumb to the wound and smears to blood onto Barty's skin. "You're such a pretty red y'know."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I-" barty started, biting his lip and nodding.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Flash a smile for me, gorgeous?" Evsn hums, running the scalpel against Barty's skin again.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty grins and presses his head back against the mattress.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan starts cutting again, a little further up the arm this time. He adjusts his weight so he's sitting on Barty's hips to still Barty as he started moving.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty grinded his hips against Evan's, still grinning and opened his eyes to look up at Evan.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"You're gonna make me do a bad cut if you keep moving." Evan comments but there's no bite behind it; they both know that Barty could be having a seizure under Evan, and Evan would still make a perfect cut.

Evan grabs a cloth and dabs at the cut because it's bleeding a lot. "Giving me so much aren't you love.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty nods hurriedly, his eyes watering slightly. "mhm."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan bandages the one wound as a precaution, but then settles the scalpel on Barty's chest. "Still green?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Yeah," Barty said breathlessly, "still green."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan makes a sharp cut over one of Barty's ribs.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty sucked in a sharp breath and gripped the edge of the mattress. "Fuck," he muttered when Evan pressed down.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan grins at Barty's reaction. He leans down and licks the cut, loving how Barty hisses in pain, "Good boy.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty's hand moved down toward Evan's and he interlocked their fingers, his nails scraping the back of his (Evan's) hand.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan moves onto his knees, then brings his hand above Barty's head as he leans down to kiss Barty.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty leaned up into the kiss, biting down on Evan's bottom lip.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan grins at the familiar warm taste of iron on their lips. He changes his hold on the scalpel to make sure it doesn't cut Barty while he's not looking, but he allows the cold dull side to press against Barty's skin as they kiss.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty flinched from the cold metal, "fuck, ev," he moaned into Evan's mouth.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan lets go of Barty's hand, and brings his hand to cup Barty's chin, getting blood onto Barty's jaw. He pulls away from the kiss grinning, his bit lip oozing some blood. "You're so pretty sweetheart.. I love your voice, it's so beautiful.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I've missed this," barty whispered, wiping away the blood and putting it in his own mouth.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan smiles and brings his bloody hand up to Barty's lips, "Me too amour.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty pulled Evan down by his hair, nipping at his jaw.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan stays still, letting Barty kiss and bite.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"You can touch my neck now," Barty says as he rests his head on Evan's shoulder.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Alright amour," Evan murmurs as he peppers kisses on the top of Barty's head. He moves back, sitting on Barty's hips again so he can kiss Evan's chest. He brings the scalpel back onto Barty, about to cut, then he looks up to Barty for permission.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty nods his head, his hands gripping Evan's thighs.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan cuts a line mirroring the first over Barty's ribs.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty smiles and stays still for Evan, letting him do whatever he needs.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Good boy, trying to be all still.." Evan cuts another deep line, making Barty gasp loudly and tense up. Evan licks up the blood as it start bleeding kinda badly, "You bleed so easily, it's adorable."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I'm not sure that's the word most would use," Barty teased.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Are we most people?" Evan asks, pressing down on the wound.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"No. We're nothing like them."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Being normal is boring after all." Evan runs the scalpel across Barty's stomach. "How many more you want, amour?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I'm getting tired, just about 1 or 2 more."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan reaches for his knives and grabs another knife, this one is smaller than the one he had been using. "Can I do one across your sternum; center of your chest? Or close to clavicle is better."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Clavicle is better."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan hums at that and positions his knife slightly below Barty's left clavicle, and starts slowly carving a small heart.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty looks down as much as he can but still can't see what Evan was doing. "What are you drawing?"

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"A little heart. Like the scar from ages ago on your inner thigh." Evan answers while focusing on carefully cutting this.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Oh. I wanna give you one next time."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan smiles sweetly at the thought, "I'd love that dear." He finishes the cut, then kisses Barty, "Feeling good love?

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Yes. So much better," Barty leans back and pulls Evan with him.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"No, no, no. Love I need to properly clean and bandage everything, then we can cuddle."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty sighed, and let go of Evan. "Fine."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Unless you want these all green and pussy." Evan laughs, grabbing the bandages and meds.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Just come here and bandage them already," Barty mumbles.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan quickly bandages the different wounds, then lies on top of Barty again, softly kissing him on the lips.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty's hand slid down to Evan's back, rubbing it gently and kisses him back.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan breaks the kiss, "Thank you amour.. I loved doing all that.."

"Okay, that's cool." Evan goes to the bathroom and grabs some cleaning solutions, bandages and gauze, then comes back in and sets those aside. "Alright, so I was thinking some along the arms, maybe a little by the waist, then last at the neck then wrap it up?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"No neck. You can do my shoulders and collarbone but no neck."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan pouts slightly, "Can I kiss and leave pretty hickeys on your neck? Or is neck a no touching zone at all today?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty closed his eyes, "no touching at all today."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Okay, okay." Evan puts the scalpel, some cloths, and a few other items on his side of the bed, then gets on top of Barty. He takes Barty's hand and kisses it, "Amour, can I start?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty silently nods his head.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan kisses Barty's hand again, then turns Barty's arm around. He traces the scalpel a few times over Barty's skin, just leaving minor scratches, no cuts. Eventually he does a horizontal incision over the middle of the forearm, then pulls slightly on the surrounding skin for it to bleed more.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty sharply sucked in a breath.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan leans down and kisses the wound, grinning as Barty shudders. "Still in the green, my love?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty made a strange noise in the back of his throat before nodding and squeezing his eyes shut.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"I need a yes or a no, love. That's a rule of this."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty groaned, "ye- yeah."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan smiled and kissed the wound again, causing Barty to flinch. "Good boy."

He puts his thumb to the wound and smears to blood onto Barty's skin. "You're such a pretty red y'know."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I-" barty started, biting his lip and nodding.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Flash a smile for me, gorgeous?" Evsn hums, running the scalpel against Barty's skin again.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty grins and presses his head back against the mattress.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan starts cutting again, a little further up the arm this time. He adjusts his weight so he's sitting on Barty's hips to still Barty as he started moving.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty grinded his hips against Evan's, still grinning and opened his eyes to look up at Evan.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"You're gonna make me do a bad cut if you keep moving." Evan comments but there's no bite behind it; they both know that Barty could be having a seizure under Evan, and Evan would still make a perfect cut.

Evan grabs a cloth and dabs at the cut because it's bleeding a lot. "Giving me so much aren't you love.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty nods hurriedly, his eyes watering slightly. "mhm."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan bandages the one wound as a precaution, but then settles the scalpel on Barty's chest. "Still green?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Yeah," Barty said breathlessly, "still green."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan makes a sharp cut over one of Barty's ribs.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty sucked in a sharp breath and gripped the edge of the mattress. "Fuck," he muttered when Evan pressed down.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan grins at Barty's reaction. He leans down and licks the cut, loving how Barty hisses in pain, "Good boy.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty's hand moved down toward Evan's and he interlocked their fingers, his nails scraping the back of his (Evan's) hand.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan moves onto his knees, then brings his hand above Barty's head as he leans down to kiss Barty.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty leaned up into the kiss, biting down on Evan's bottom lip.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan grins at the familiar warm taste of iron on their lips. He changes his hold on the scalpel to make sure it doesn't cut Barty while he's not looking, but he allows the cold dull side to press against Barty's skin as they kiss.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty flinched from the cold metal, "fuck, ev," he moaned into Evan's mouth.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan lets go of Barty's hand, and brings his hand to cup Barty's chin, getting blood onto Barty's jaw. He pulls away from the kiss grinning, his bit lip oozing some blood. "You're so pretty sweetheart.. I love your voice, it's so beautiful.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I've missed this," barty whispered, wiping away the blood and putting it in his own mouth.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan smiles and brings his bloody hand up to Barty's lips, "Me too amour.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty pulled Evan down by his hair, nipping at his jaw.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan stays still, letting Barty kiss and bite.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"You can touch my neck now," Barty says as he rests his head on Evan's shoulder.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Alright amour," Evan murmurs as he peppers kisses on the top of Barty's head. He moves back, sitting on Barty's hips again so he can kiss Evan's chest. He brings the scalpel back onto Barty, about to cut, then he looks up to Barty for permission.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty nods his head, his hands gripping Evan's thighs.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan cuts a line mirroring the first over Barty's ribs.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty smiles and stays still for Evan, letting him do whatever he needs.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Good boy, trying to be all still.." Evan cuts another deep line, making Barty gasp loudly and tense up. Evan licks up the blood as it start bleeding kinda badly, "You bleed so easily, it's adorable."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I'm not sure that's the word most would use," Barty teased.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Are we most people?" Evan asks, pressing down on the wound.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"No. We're nothing like them."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Being normal is boring after all." Evan runs the scalpel across Barty's stomach. "How many more you want, amour?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I'm getting tired, just about 1 or 2 more."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan reaches for his knives and grabs another knife, this one is smaller than the one he had been using. "Can I do one across your sternum; center of your chest? Or close to clavicle is better."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Clavicle is better."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan hums at that and positions his knife slightly below Barty's left clavicle, and starts slowly carving a small heart.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty looks down as much as he can but still can't see what Evan was doing. "What are you drawing?"

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"A little heart. Like the scar from ages ago on your inner thigh." Evan answers while focusing on carefully cutting this.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Oh. I wanna give you one next time."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan smiles sweetly at the thought, "I'd love that dear." He finishes the cut, then kisses Barty, "Feeling good love?

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Yes. So much better," Barty leans back and pulls Evan with him.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"No, no, no. Love I need to properly clean and bandage everything, then we can cuddle."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty sighed, and let go of Evan. "Fine."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Unless you want these all green and pussy." Evan laughs, grabbing the bandages and meds.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Just come here and bandage them already," Barty mumbles.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

@rosiers--and--thorns (in private)

you should probably get your journal out for tracking the off the meds thing

[rosiers--and--thorns]

I've already started love. You said it been roughly a week, so I added 6 days already, plus the ones from here on out.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Well don't you need my feelings and shit

[rosiers--and--thorns]

I assumed you were doing that in your own journal. I started tracking your changes in behavior. But yes, we can track those in here as well. Do you want to text me what to write, or should I bring the journal to you, you write it in yourself and I read later?

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

You should bring me thr journal

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Be in in a minute.

Evan walks into their bedroom after a few minutes and sits next to Barty, handing him the notebook. "Want me to leave or stay?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Stay," Barty said while taking out a pen and chewing on the edge a bit before writing anything down.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan kisses Barty's head, then leans back against the pillows, shutting his eyes and waiting.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Once Barty was finished writing he shut the joirnal and put it on the nightstand, "don't open it until I'm gone," Barty ordered before sliding down next to Evan.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan smiles and pulls Barty closer, "Okay amour. He kisses Barty's forehead. "Anything you want."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Have I ever mentioned how much I fucking love it when you call me that?" Barty grinned

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Only a million times." Evan hums, playing with Barty's hair.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"not enough."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Well I know you mean it a billion times more than that. I'm just thinking the times you verbalized it."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Good."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"What can I do for you right now, amour?" Evan asks as he brings his hands down to Barty's hips. "You've been so upset the past few weeks, how can I make you feel better?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Just be here, rosa," Barty leans up to kiss the mole on Evan's top lip, "I just need you here."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan leans in and tries to make it a real kiss but Barty moves away before he can do that, "Can I get some real kisses..?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty rubs Evan's bottom lip with his thumb, dragging it around slowly. "Maybe..."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan moves forward and bites Barty's thumb, grinning while holding it with his teeth.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Make it bleed, will you?"

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan chuckles and lets go, "Licking blood up is your thing. I just cut myself up for you.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"But it's been so long since you did it!" Barty whined.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Will it make you happy?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Very."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Can I at least cut you up instead of biting? It's cleaner."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Whatever you want."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Yes, yes, yes!" Evan gets up out of bed, running out of the bedroom to grab his knife set from his office.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty grinned and quickly took off his sweatshirt, throwing on the floor and spreading out on their bed.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan comes back in, opening the knife pouch and laying it out on the nightstand. "Okay, what are your rules and limits tonight, amour? Where is off limits?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"No legs and no going over old scars," Barty answered.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Okay, that's cool." Evan goes to the bathroom and grabs some cleaning solutions, bandages and gauze, then comes back in and sets those aside. "Alright, so I was thinking some along the arms, maybe a little by the waist, then last at the neck then wrap it up?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"No neck. You can do my shoulders and collarbone but no neck."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan pouts slightly, "Can I kiss and leave pretty hickeys on your neck? Or is neck a no touching zone at all today?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty closed his eyes, "no touching at all today."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty nods his head, his hands gripping Evan's thighs.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan cuts a line mirroring the first over Barty's ribs.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty smiles and stays still for Evan, letting him do whatever he needs.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Good boy, trying to be all still.." Evan cuts another deep line, making Barty gasp loudly and tense up. Evan licks up the blood as it start bleeding kinda badly, "You bleed so easily, it's adorable."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I'm not sure that's the word most would use," Barty teased.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Are we most people?" Evan asks, pressing down on the wound.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"No. We're nothing like them."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Being normal is boring after all." Evan runs the scalpel across Barty's stomach. "How many more you want, amour?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I'm getting tired, just about 1 or 2 more."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan reaches for his knives and grabs another knife, this one is smaller than the one he had been using. "Can I do one across your sternum; center of your chest? Or close to clavicle is better."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Clavicle is better."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan hums at that and positions his knife slightly below Barty's left clavicle, and starts slowly carving a small heart.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty looks down as much as he can but still can't see what Evan was doing. "What are you drawing?"

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"A little heart. Like the scar from ages ago on your inner thigh." Evan answers while focusing on carefully cutting this.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Oh. I wanna give you one next time."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan smiles sweetly at the thought, "I'd love that dear." He finishes the cut, then kisses Barty, "Feeling good love?

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Yes. So much better," Barty leans back and pulls Evan with him.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

@rosiers--and--thorns (in private)

you should probably get your journal out for tracking the off the meds thing

[rosiers--and--thorns]

I've already started love. You said it been roughly a week, so I added 6 days already, plus the ones from here on out.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Well don't you need my feelings and shit

[rosiers--and--thorns]

I assumed you were doing that in your own journal. I started tracking your changes in behavior. But yes, we can track those in here as well. Do you want to text me what to write, or should I bring the journal to you, you write it in yourself and I read later?

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

You should bring me thr journal

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Be in in a minute.

Evan walks into their bedroom after a few minutes and sits next to Barty, handing him the notebook. "Want me to leave or stay?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Stay," Barty said while taking out a pen and chewing on the edge a bit before writing anything down.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan kisses Barty's head, then leans back against the pillows, shutting his eyes and waiting.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Once Barty was finished writing he shut the joirnal and put it on the nightstand, "don't open it until I'm gone," Barty ordered before sliding down next to Evan.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan smiles and pulls Barty closer, "Okay amour. He kisses Barty's forehead. "Anything you want."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Have I ever mentioned how much I fucking love it when you call me that?" Barty grinned

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Only a million times." Evan hums, playing with Barty's hair.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"not enough."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Well I know you mean it a billion times more than that. I'm just thinking the times you verbalized it."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Good."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"What can I do for you right now, amour?" Evan asks as he brings his hands down to Barty's hips. "You've been so upset the past few weeks, how can I make you feel better?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Just be here, rosa," Barty leans up to kiss the mole on Evan's top lip, "I just need you here."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan leans in and tries to make it a real kiss but Barty moves away before he can do that, "Can I get some real kisses..?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty rubs Evan's bottom lip with his thumb, dragging it around slowly. "Maybe..."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan moves forward and bites Barty's thumb, grinning while holding it with his teeth.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Make it bleed, will you?"

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan chuckles and lets go, "Licking blood up is your thing. I just cut myself up for you.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"But it's been so long since you did it!" Barty whined.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Will it make you happy?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Very."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Can I at least cut you up instead of biting? It's cleaner."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Whatever you want."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Yes, yes, yes!" Evan gets up out of bed, running out of the bedroom to grab his knife set from his office.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty grinned and quickly took off his sweatshirt, throwing on the floor and spreading out on their bed.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan comes back in, opening the knife pouch and laying it out on the nightstand. "Okay, what are your rules and limits tonight, amour? Where is off limits?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"No legs and no going over old scars," Barty answered.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Okay, that's cool." Evan goes to the bathroom and grabs some cleaning solutions, bandages and gauze, then comes back in and sets those aside. "Alright, so I was thinking some along the arms, maybe a little by the waist, then last at the neck then wrap it up?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"No neck. You can do my shoulders and collarbone but no neck."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan pouts slightly, "Can I kiss and leave pretty hickeys on your neck? Or is neck a no touching zone at all today?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty closed his eyes, "no touching at all today."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Okay, okay." Evan puts the scalpel, some cloths, and a few other items on his side of the bed, then gets on top of Barty. He takes Barty's hand and kisses it, "Amour, can I start?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty silently nods his head.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan kisses Barty's hand again, then turns Barty's arm around. He traces the scalpel a few times over Barty's skin, just leaving minor scratches, no cuts. Eventually he does a horizontal incision over the middle of the forearm, then pulls slightly on the surrounding skin for it to bleed more.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty sharply sucked in a breath.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan leans down and kisses the wound, grinning as Barty shudders. "Still in the green, my love?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty made a strange noise in the back of his throat before nodding and squeezing his eyes shut.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"I need a yes or a no, love. That's a rule of this."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty groaned, "ye- yeah."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan smiled and kissed the wound again, causing Barty to flinch. "Good boy."

He puts his thumb to the wound and smears to blood onto Barty's skin. "You're such a pretty red y'know."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I-" barty started, biting his lip and nodding.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Flash a smile for me, gorgeous?" Evsn hums, running the scalpel against Barty's skin again.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty grins and presses his head back against the mattress.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan starts cutting again, a little further up the arm this time. He adjusts his weight so he's sitting on Barty's hips to still Barty as he started moving.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty grinded his hips against Evan's, still grinning and opened his eyes to look up at Evan.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"You're gonna make me do a bad cut if you keep moving." Evan comments but there's no bite behind it; they both know that Barty could be having a seizure under Evan, and Evan would still make a perfect cut.

Evan grabs a cloth and dabs at the cut because it's bleeding a lot. "Giving me so much aren't you love.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty nods hurriedly, his eyes watering slightly. "mhm."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan bandages the one wound as a precaution, but then settles the scalpel on Barty's chest. "Still green?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Yeah," Barty said breathlessly, "still green."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan makes a sharp cut over one of Barty's ribs.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty sucked in a sharp breath and gripped the edge of the mattress. "Fuck," he muttered when Evan pressed down.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan grins at Barty's reaction. He leans down and licks the cut, loving how Barty hisses in pain, "Good boy.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty's hand moved down toward Evan's and he interlocked their fingers, his nails scraping the back of his (Evan's) hand.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan moves onto his knees, then brings his hand above Barty's head as he leans down to kiss Barty.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty leaned up into the kiss, biting down on Evan's bottom lip.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan grins at the familiar warm taste of iron on their lips. He changes his hold on the scalpel to make sure it doesn't cut Barty while he's not looking, but he allows the cold dull side to press against Barty's skin as they kiss.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty flinched from the cold metal, "fuck, ev," he moaned into Evan's mouth.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan lets go of Barty's hand, and brings his hand to cup Barty's chin, getting blood onto Barty's jaw. He pulls away from the kiss grinning, his bit lip oozing some blood. "You're so pretty sweetheart.. I love your voice, it's so beautiful.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I've missed this," barty whispered, wiping away the blood and putting it in his own mouth.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan smiles and brings his bloody hand up to Barty's lips, "Me too amour.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty pulled Evan down by his hair, nipping at his jaw.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan stays still, letting Barty kiss and bite.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"You can touch my neck now," Barty says as he rests his head on Evan's shoulder.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Alright amour," Evan murmurs as he peppers kisses on the top of Barty's head. He moves back, sitting on Barty's hips again so he can kiss Evan's chest. He brings the scalpel back onto Barty, about to cut, then he looks up to Barty for permission.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty nods his head, his hands gripping Evan's thighs.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan cuts a line mirroring the first over Barty's ribs.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty smiles and stays still for Evan, letting him do whatever he needs.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Good boy, trying to be all still.." Evan cuts another deep line, making Barty gasp loudly and tense up. Evan licks up the blood as it start bleeding kinda badly, "You bleed so easily, it's adorable."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I'm not sure that's the word most would use," Barty teased.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Are we most people?" Evan asks, pressing down on the wound.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"No. We're nothing like them."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Being normal is boring after all." Evan runs the scalpel across Barty's stomach. "How many more you want, amour?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I'm getting tired, just about 1 or 2 more."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan reaches for his knives and grabs another knife, this one is smaller than the one he had been using. "Can I do one across your sternum; center of your chest? Or close to clavicle is better."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Clavicle is better."

"Okay, okay." Evan puts the scalpel, some cloths, and a few other items on his side of the bed, then gets on top of Barty. He takes Barty's hand and kisses it, "Amour, can I start?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty silently nods his head.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan kisses Barty's hand again, then turns Barty's arm around. He traces the scalpel a few times over Barty's skin, just leaving minor scratches, no cuts. Eventually he does a horizontal incision over the middle of the forearm, then pulls slightly on the surrounding skin for it to bleed more.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty sharply sucked in a breath.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan leans down and kisses the wound, grinning as Barty shudders. "Still in the green, my love?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty made a strange noise in the back of his throat before nodding and squeezing his eyes shut.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"I need a yes or a no, love. That's a rule of this."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty groaned, "ye- yeah."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan smiled and kissed the wound again, causing Barty to flinch. "Good boy."

He puts his thumb to the wound and smears to blood onto Barty's skin. "You're such a pretty red y'know."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I-" barty started, biting his lip and nodding.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Flash a smile for me, gorgeous?" Evsn hums, running the scalpel against Barty's skin again.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty grins and presses his head back against the mattress.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan starts cutting again, a little further up the arm this time. He adjusts his weight so he's sitting on Barty's hips to still Barty as he started moving.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty grinded his hips against Evan's, still grinning and opened his eyes to look up at Evan.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"You're gonna make me do a bad cut if you keep moving." Evan comments but there's no bite behind it; they both know that Barty could be having a seizure under Evan, and Evan would still make a perfect cut.

Evan grabs a cloth and dabs at the cut because it's bleeding a lot. "Giving me so much aren't you love.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

barty nods hurriedly, his eyes watering slightly. "mhm."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan bandages the one wound as a precaution, but then settles the scalpel on Barty's chest. "Still green?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Yeah," Barty said breathlessly, "still green."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan makes a sharp cut over one of Barty's ribs.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty sucked in a sharp breath and gripped the edge of the mattress. "Fuck," he muttered when Evan pressed down.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan grins at Barty's reaction. He leans down and licks the cut, loving how Barty hisses in pain, "Good boy.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty's hand moved down toward Evan's and he interlocked their fingers, his nails scraping the back of his (Evan's) hand.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan moves onto his knees, then brings his hand above Barty's head as he leans down to kiss Barty.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty leaned up into the kiss, biting down on Evan's bottom lip.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan grins at the familiar warm taste of iron on their lips. He changes his hold on the scalpel to make sure it doesn't cut Barty while he's not looking, but he allows the cold dull side to press against Barty's skin as they kiss.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty flinched from the cold metal, "fuck, ev," he moaned into Evan's mouth.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan lets go of Barty's hand, and brings his hand to cup Barty's chin, getting blood onto Barty's jaw. He pulls away from the kiss grinning, his bit lip oozing some blood. "You're so pretty sweetheart.. I love your voice, it's so beautiful.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I've missed this," barty whispered, wiping away the blood and putting it in his own mouth.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan smiles and brings his bloody hand up to Barty's lips, "Me too amour.."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty pulled Evan down by his hair, nipping at his jaw.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan stays still, letting Barty kiss and bite.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"You can touch my neck now," Barty says as he rests his head on Evan's shoulder.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Alright amour," Evan murmurs as he peppers kisses on the top of Barty's head. He moves back, sitting on Barty's hips again so he can kiss Evan's chest. He brings the scalpel back onto Barty, about to cut, then he looks up to Barty for permission.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty nods his head, his hands gripping Evan's thighs.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan cuts a line mirroring the first over Barty's ribs.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Barty smiles and stays still for Evan, letting him do whatever he needs.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Good boy, trying to be all still.." Evan cuts another deep line, making Barty gasp loudly and tense up. Evan licks up the blood as it start bleeding kinda badly, "You bleed so easily, it's adorable."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I'm not sure that's the word most would use," Barty teased.

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Are we most people?" Evan asks, pressing down on the wound.

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"No. We're nothing like them."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

"Being normal is boring after all." Evan runs the scalpel across Barty's stomach. "How many more you want, amour?"

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"I'm getting tired, just about 1 or 2 more."

[rosiers--and--thorns]

Evan reaches for his knives and grabs another knife, this one is smaller than the one he had been using. "Can I do one across your sternum; center of your chest? Or close to clavicle is better."

[imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

"Clavicle is better."
