@erratiomerula : 43. wrapping your legs around your lover's body as they lift you ( saleos and lei c: ) — [ a hundred different kisses ]
perhaps it would be a rare sight for another to see Lei passionate and yearning , but such was not the case for Saleos , it would seem , the woman , demoness , he was helplessly enamoured in . could she have enchanted him ? with hungry kisses as she helped him shed his suit jacket , until she was backed against the cold wall , their bodies flush together .
Saleos had smiled at him , beautifully , a gentle , teasing nudge against him before he took the hint to lean in and take the lead , kissing her deeply once again , a hand on the back of her head , before it slid down to her waist as he pulled her closer , both arms lifting her up with ease and letting her sit on them as he made his way to the bed .
a small sound of surprise from the woman , before she laughed the laugh that thrummed his heartstrings too easily , and he smiled into the kiss , letting her wrap her legs around his body , keeping her balance as they retreated into the privacy of the bedroom .
@erratiomerula : 78. pushing your lover onto the bed, kissing down their stomach ( your choice of edax/Shasta or saleos/Lei ) — [ a hundred different kisses ]
it was the usual one two step of a fight for dominance , unsurprising at this point , until Edax finally caught Shasta off balance , directing him towards the bed while knowing he’d be pulled along . as expected , the prince tugs him by the front of his shirt , and the two are sent tumbling into the soft mattress , amused laughter bubbling from the demon’s chest as he props himself up by the elbows over the other , not forgetting to very intentionally grind their lower bodies together in the pretense ( they both know by now ) of getting back on his feet .
a teasing smirk on his lips , Edax tilts his head to the side a tad as he watches Shasta and his lack of a struggle , before his eyes trail upon the other’s lips , slightly reddened from kissing . the demon leans in again and does just that , kisses him again , giving a warning tug on his bottom lip before his mouth makes its way down the elf’s neck , chest , all the way to his stomach .
his hand wanders , and wastes no time undoing a buckle before red eyes finally find their way back to pretty hues . a tender kiss placed lower still . let’s drag this night out , shall we ?
@cioccolino : Dino has been pondering how to ask Zhenya for another date but he is afraid he will be pushy. So, instead, he thinks of another way "Wanna go to the sea with me and the others?" not that they would tag along if he told them not to. But he had to make her feel that this wasn't going to be a date otherwise the chances of her declining were high. "We have to patrol the area so it's like uhm... hitting two birds with a stone, or something?" he stays quiet for a moment giving her the time to process "So? What do you say? Want to tag along?"
mention of the sea has Zhenya perking up , tilting her head to the side a little out of habit to get a better listen to what Dino had to offer this time . she was expecting something like ... a date of sorts , which would be honestly ... a little troublesome , more often than not , given the other’s status .
... not to say someone like her joining a patrol would be fitting either , but the twinkle in the young wolf’s eyes was probably hard to miss . the sea ! she’s never really been to the beach before , never saw the waves come and go , never felt the sand between her toes under her feet , the sun , oh , the sun ! what she would give to experience it for her own !
“ i’ll go ! ” belatedly , she hoped it wasn’t too hasty a decision made on her part , clearing her throat and settling down once more when she caught herself . “ i mean , since i don’t have anything to do anyway , i-if it’s even appropriate for me to tag along a patrol ... ”
and no , she wasn’t hoping it was just the two of them , nor was she thinking how it might be better , less awkward without anyone else ! especially that scary Toni guy ...
@flxwergxrden : an accidental kiss between Momo and Ryou uvu — [ oh no which prompt ]
it must have been something at first , that set Ryou off when Momo broke into a full sprint at the sound of what might have just been a crack of a twig , and without a word , the fox followed close behind . too close , almost , call of ( a predator’s ) instinct not to let her out of sight , sharp eyes trained upon her form , every twist and turn .
one look back . Ryou . two . it was slowing her down , and triumph was starting to bubble deep within the redhead until she skidded to a stop all of a sudden , wheeling back around to yell his name once more , loud and clear enough an echo trailed close behind , ringing through the silent wood clearing .
wait . wait . golden hues widened in surprise and belated realisation , a gasp barely escaping his parted lips before he crashes right into the other , bringing her down , almost too easily , with him . immediately , he wrapped his arms around her , and swivelled so that he was the one to hit the ground first , barely cushioned by the patch of grass beneath them .
the scent of blood . it seemed to unfurl like petals on the tip of his tongue , and hastily , he shoved the rabbit off of him , only to get a better look at her bleeding lip . oh thank god . oh , thank god . he swiped any trace of coppery red from his mouth , breathing yet to calm as he gives her a proper once-over before he spoke again .
“ don’t just ... start running like that next time . you ... you could have gotten hurt . ”
@erratiomerula : “ i can’t trust myself. if i let myself get comfortable enough, when i try to be happy, people get hurt. ” saleos @ lei cause oof
Lei listens quietly , to the demoness settled atop him , head against his chest , her voice soft . in the late evening light , as if baring her heart to him . she’s shed her self-assured skin , but remains nevertheless charming to him .
he’s heard enough stories about demons and sins , but to say that Saleos doesn’t deserve happiness , and comfort , he can’t agree . in moments like this , like every waking moment with her , she’s but a woman , to him , albeit a few hundred times stronger perhaps , who knows to love and to protect , whom he wants to love and protect . could it be that he’s been corrupted then ? or does she not deserve to be held as well ?
and that is what he does , fingers brushing stray locks out of her face , before he cups her cheek and kisses her on the forehead . “ i trust you , ” he says , to the evil with her beautiful smile he wishes to see again , carnage be damned . he already has blood on his hands . he just wants this to be enough for now .
“ i trust you . ”
@erratiomerula : “ falling “ shasta & edax c: — [ falling ]
it had been a long time since the demon was able to fully let himself go in a fight , leaving all but havoc and ruin in his wake , friend or foe , it was fortunate of the elves who learnt to stay away from their bitter end . fire and shadows coming alive , as did the delighted glow of Edax’s red eyes .
he had been mostly , he’ll admit , overcome by thrill , his blood singing in his ears as he took out one after another , picking off the scraps while the prince played the mighty hero for his people against the legion’s head . it’s only when all falls silent that he hears his name , a too gentle beckoning that nearly escapes him if he weren’t constantly waiting to return to Shasta , not that it was something he’d ever need to admit , was it ?
bright eyes found the other’s form immediately , as if they never even left him , though it soon became obvious he couldn’t take his gaze off pallid lips , the staggered steps , triumph giving way to realisation as he caught Shasta before he fell forward .
this was new . it had usually been the other way around , that Edax was left with Shasta in his still warm arms , a perplexed raise of his brow the only sign of his concern .
“ hey . ” this was ... incredibly disconcerting . “ wake up . ”
@erratiomerula : [ TRAINING ] Shasta @ Edax ( during a sparring match, sender ends up pinning the receiver against the wall. )
the growl that rumbles in his chest as his back hits the wall is almost feral , lost in the rare fight he gets to push himself further than usual , but when red gaze settles upon the expression the other is wearing , it’s swallowed back down before it reaches past lips parted in a mirror of Shasta’s smile .
now why was he so pleased ? Edax wonders , when he’s at the mercy of another , but at the moment , he’s too distracted to come to a conclusion as he watches a droplet of sweat trickle down to disappear underneath the collar of the prince’s clothes , expensive fabric creased in his own tight grasp . his smirk deepens as his eyes trail back up almost reluctantly , lingering on lips he’s come to know the exact softness of , before they follow the triumphant grin all the way into pretty blue eyes .
a playful quirk of his brow , a tilt of his chin . “ so , what are you waiting for ? ”
@erratiomerula : [ EXHAUSTION ] Shasta and edax — [ forehead touches ]
Edax’s hand is a few degrees warmer than usual , tainted as if he had dipped his hands into thick black smoke up to his forearms , when it finds Shasta’s cheek , smudges the dirt upon it with his thumb , his palm coming to rest upon the angle of his jaw . he could be trilling in joy like the avian creature he once was at the aftermath of destruction around them , but it’s always less fun when he won’t be blamed for it , and the one who’s supposed to do so seems a gentle push away from passing out from exhaustion . what a hero , but since he’s also had his fun , he’ll let the prince have it easy for now .
“ there , there , ” he coos , fingers running through white locks to tame the mess of it , loosening a couple tangles , “ don’t fall asleep on us before dinner , what if i miss the third chapter of elven gossip ? ”
@erratiomerula : ❝ i love you just like this. i love you when you touch me gently like no one else ever has. and i love you when your hands are bloody and your knuckles are bruised. ❞ ( YEETS THE *REDACTED* @ EDAX ) — [ you can kill me but don’t you dare touch them ]
Edax doesn’t know which is worse , if this is a spur of the moment tumble of words , or something bottled up inside long enough to overflow . it was an unspoken promise of sorts , to him , it wasn’t going to be love . whatever that is to him , a creature thriving on anguish and hatred , willingly leaving spoils and ruin to sleep with another .
he doesn’t say anything for a moment , red eyes gleam in the faint light that slips in through the windows as he reads Shasta silently , sifts through his own thoughts to come up with something . something that stings , but he knows it won’t be worth it in the end . something worth something , then .
something not love .
something not words . from parted lips come a sound somewhere between a scoff and a sigh , before his hand finds Shasta’s on the bed , intertwining their fingers together the way his cut knuckles would smart if he cared , and he leans down to kiss him like he wants to eat him whole .
@cioccolino : ∗ 12﹕ sender invites receiver to dance . (dinya <3)
if being present at such ... fine , etiquette-requiring events wasn’t already way out of her comfort zone ( and imagination , even ) , The Aldobrandino Olsen holding a hand out to her in silent invitation definitely topped the list of surprises today , including being bought the dress she was currently wearing .
Zhenya hesitated , trying to send a “ you definitely wouldn’t want to dance with me out of everyone here ... ” message with her furrowed brows and darting eyes . given Dino’s tendency to toe the line of the young wolf’s exasperation often enough thanks to the stark difference of their backgrounds , she shouldn’t be so affected by such a simple invitation -- and Dino hadn’t even uttered a word !
get the hint already ! the others’ gazes were already burning her up , was she blushing ?
with a sigh she belatedly tried to swallow back inside , she put her shaky hand in his , grabbing the hem of her dress before leaning into the space between them to whisper to him through gritted teeth , “ i have never even seen this kind of dance before , Dino , don’t blame me if you lose your toes ! ”
@cioccolino : [ EMBRACE ] sender quickly wraps the receiver in a protective hug and turns so the sender’s back might take on the brunt of an on-coming attack. (zhenya) — [ shining armor prompts ]
despite her initial reluctance to even let the lion get too close , a noble no less ! the time they spent together had grown frequent ever since he began showing her the beautiful places of this foreign land that she wouldn’t have been able to find on her own . the forest clearing where she could see where exactly the leaves started to change colours , the river that glistened as it flowed tirelessly , where she caught him a large fish barehanded but he threw it back , one surprise after another that had her starting to look forward to when he would visit , even if she tried her best not to show it .
they were headed towards today’s secret spot when something began to feel ... wrong . given Zhenya’s vulnerable size compared to the rest of her family , should the need to hide ever arise , she would sense it much sooner than others , an instinct that was rarely mistaken . between the two of them , it went without saying that Dino was the more important and recognisable one , but now everyone seemed suspicious .
uncertain , she reached out to tug at his sleeve , but she hadn’t even been able to get a word out when all she managed to catch was the shift of his expression as he looked back in her direction , before he pulled her into his arms and turned in one swift movement , putting himself between her and the unmistakable impact she could feel through his body pressed against hers . an all-too-familiar copper tang assaulted her sense of smell within seconds , and his name finally escaped her in a small , scared voice . “ D-Dino ? ”
@erratiomerula : ❛ 14 . a kiss in the shower . ( saleos and Lei ) — [ the overwhelming desire to kiss , continuation ]
there is meticulousness in everything Lei does , finely honed second nature . in work . in routine . in love . grounded in order , but effective as it has always been in keeping him alive , it’s no less amusing in the way he helps Saleos wash away all the blood and grime more like a faithful servant than a lover . carefully sweeping her damp hair out of the way for gentle ministrations of calloused hands , her shoulders , her neck , up to her jaw , her cheek .
only now does he lift his gaze from her skin to her eyes , lingering for a few more heartbeats before it drifts to her lips , and he finally leans in to kiss her . soft and slow until she begins to reciprocate , until new-found desire takes over the heavy weariness of all that had happened . he deepens the kiss , his other hand coming to rest upon her waist .
a sigh of relief washed away by the running shower , unholy devotion behind a closed door .
@cioccolino :
6) sender finds receiver crying and approaches, clearing the tears with their hands while demanding to know what happened.
[ softish angst ]
lycans , the lot of them . Zhenya curses them once again to herself , undoing the mess of a braid her soft tresses had ended up in from a scuffle , knowing full well that if her brother or anyone else had been around they wouldn’t have even dared to think of it . if she had the looks and build to match her attitude and absolute disdain towards a construct she wasn’t even aware of until a few months ago – how frustrating .
focused entirely on keeping the angry tears at bay until the privacy of her home at least , she notices Dino a moment too late to help the expression that contorts her features , and the look he gives her does nothing but cause more tears to well up and spill over , for whatever reason . this is ridiculous , she thinks to herself , lifting a hand to hastily swipe at her eyes , but they will not stop coming .
a small gasp escapes her when her wrist is grabbed , chagrined and ready to rebuke , until he cradles her face in his hands , thumbing away her tears as he asks her what had happened . demanding as ever , yet the worry in his eyes and voice is hard to ignore . it makes her heart clench , wondering if a noble like him would stand with his own kind . think she deserved it .
“ your people , ” is all she manages to say , before the thought that even he would betray her becomes too much to bear at the moment , her voice trailing off into a stifled sob , and she tries to turn away , reluctant . this is ridiculous . so unbelievably stupid .
@erratiomerula :
❛ thank you for being gentle with me . ❜ Shasta and edax
[ nothing but vulnerable / continued from here . ]
it was a very awkward situation for the demon , coming down from the high on another’s pain that had driven him to a point of near frenzy had he not a steadier hold on the reins . instead he remained still , feeling Shasta bury his nose into his shoulder , feeling cold lips along the edge of his jaw . be gentle with me if you want to continue . Edax did not know which was more laughable , trust still , in a monster like him , or his own hesitation at being given it .
he pulls away , a gentle untangling of their arms , a wordless sigh . a series of soft sounds amplified in their quiet room , dripping with vexation even if his face did not show it . what do i do with you , he thinks to himself , claiming his half of the bed once again before he looks up at the other next to him , reading his features and body like his favourite page of a story in which he already knows its grim ending before the protagonist , before he eventually reaches out and pulls Shasta close , back against his chest , strong arm around lithesome waist . the unnameable urge he has yet to quell , threatens to spill out of him .
his hand moves downwards , slowly , to wrap around the elf’s member , thumb over its head , gently stroking . they both need a distraction , perhaps . Edax presses a kiss on his nape , another on the shell of his ear when he turns around with a surprised utterance . “ concentrate , ” on what he doesn’t say , but soon enough the silence is filled by Shasta once again , voice breaking every so often from the tears he had shed , stumbling for coherence other than evil’s name on his tongue . Edax . Edax . he could learn to get drunk on this pleasure .
the much misplaced gratitude comes much later , when they’ve once again melted into each other . Shasta says it in a soft , tired murmur as he finds the demon’s dim red gaze , making him laugh a low scoff better felt than heard . Edax kisses him on the lips because it distracts him so , eyes narrowing with his amused smile . “ i thought we were already too close for this . ”
@erratiomerula ( r-right . a short piece . )
it had started out entirely an impulse thing , like a lot of what they did , how they ended up all the way here . in Shasta’s bed , its owner with his pretty blue eyes , looking up at Edax as if he would readily entrust his entire being to a demon , of all things . his stuttered moans , heaving breaths , Edax , who swallowed every sound he made like they didn’t feed the fire within . a strip of fabric making up part of his – Shasta’s clothing , catching red gaze , a faint smile as he grabbed it to swiftly obscure the other’s vision .
the reaction he gets is instantaneous , unhidden surprise in the sound Shasta makes . the shatter of whatever is left of the calm facade he tries to keep , even , or especially , around Edax . but he doesn’t call his name , no , he asks for someone else’s , or neither , an almost frantic utterance in elvish , a foreign tongue Edax has barely started learning the lilt of to recognise it immediately . the one phrase he hears from all the mischief he’s caused to everyone else here , Shasta says it once , twice , and again , scattered among the painful recollection of a concealed past . please , he says . don’t .
Edax learns that from the thrill that rises in him to a crescendo , watching the elf reach for his hand that holds the blindfold in place , trembling almost pathetically for proper purchase . his other hand searching in front of him , finally meeting the heated skin of the demon’s chest , the heart of another’s beating underneath . Shasta is trying to push him away , and recoiling into himself at the same time , so it’s all wasted effort in the end , distraught past his own control . needless to say , the demon , vermillion hues alight , has never felt this much energy for a long time .
so much of it , ultimately settling heavy in his chest .
it doesn’t feel right . not with him .
so Edax loosens the secure grip he has around the piece of cloth over Shasta’s eyes , and calls his name , a low rumble reaching the elf through the palm of his hand , before he lifts himself up to rest his forehead against the other’s , damp with cold sweat , and says his name again . sheer imitation of the syllables that form a term meant for endearment , for promise , and something more , far beyond the comprehension of a being like him thriving on the opposite of it . on this suffering .
but he repeats it anyway , softly , the way it should only ever be uttered , “ it’s me . ”
a shaky exhale escapes Shasta’s parted lips when he begins to settle eventually , the fight gradually dissipating under the demon’s gaze , unreadable even if he could see it , while Edax coaxes the rest of the fear out of him with a hand around his , warm lips pressing against his forehead , chaste and brief before pulling away .
“ if you truly hate this , ” careful words in the dark , new to even Edax himself . “ then we will stop here . ”
@erratiomerula :
“ yes. i am telling you what to do. i’m telling you not to pull something like that again because— ‘cause fucking hell. i care about you. okay? ” ( laughs. Shasta and Edax )
[ softish angst ]
red eyes look at Shasta for a moment , silent and unreadable , before the demon laughs a weak raspy sound , falling forward into the other , the poor semblance of a lovers’ embrace . heavy head against his shoulder , frigid fingers holding onto his arm in a grip too weak to leave an impression , let alone a warning .
“ you know , ” he begins , his voice barely above a whisper . “ that’s the most foolish thing to … ever come out of your mouth . ” there’s a worse insult somewhere in his mind , but the exhaustion is starting to get to him , and the inability to get any warmer than this . hellfire just about to start dying down around them , while he wonders if internal frostbite was a thing .
“ you’re going to regret it . ”
