Shall I tell you what the real evil is? To c r i n g e to the things that are called evils, to surrender to them our freedom, in defiance of which we ought to face any suffering.

“Since we were five–lord, Toren. Sometimes you just don’t work it well enough, is all.”

Is he teasing? Probably. Bryn snickered, pressing their foreheads together with a smirk, arms wrapping around Toren’s neck. What could he say? He couldn’t resist. At Toren’s remark, however, Bryn sighed, nose wrinkling in slight distaste.

“Well, you see, I love Beck. I do. Buuut…I thought you and I could do well with some time away from everyone. Just you and I, you see.”

“I don’t ‘work it’ well enough. That’s a new one. You could just be a good boyfriend and admit to being charmed, y’know. Like your brother.”

He can’t help returning the tease -- although he takes the time to move and pres a kiss to the others nose in the meantime. What Toren doesn’t like to see, however, is the little wrinkle between his partner’s eyes.

“Oh. Gotcha. Well, he’s got his own thing going now, doesn’t he? So he can just - do that. I think I could use some time away, myself.”

[sanmelhekh]

thethiefoftheshire:

“Oh, I can resist that face easily enough. Your puppy dog eyes don’t work so easily on me anymore, Toren.”

A playful smirk appeared on Bryn’s face, and he snickered, playfully bumping their noses together before he gave Toren an actual kiss. He could at least give him that much.

“Tomorrow or the next day..the sooner the better. Besides, I’ve had enough of my father’s nagging to last the entirety of next year and then some. I have to get away.”

“Really? That’s funny. Because it’s been working since... oh, I don’t know, we were five.”

Or at the very least, somewhere around there. He’s not very inclined toward exact dates when he could just as well return the kiss given and pull the smaller further into his embrace.

“You know you’re leaving a brother to deal with your dad alone, right? Why don’t you ask him to come along?”

[sanmelhekh]

thethiefoftheshire:

“Hm. You’re lucky that I love you, you know that?”

A small pout appeared on Bryn’s face as he shot Toren another glare. Cheeky thing. However, he did lean over to press a kiss to Toren’s cheek. Bryn certainly couldn’t resist doing that much, at least. 

“But–yeah, packing. Tonight. We can do that. When did you want to leave tomorrow? Says here it’s an eleven hour flight, so we might want to go early.”

“As you should. Who can resist this face?”

His most innocent expression overtakes his features, but soon he’s occupied with returning the kiss given. After all, he couldn’t quite pass up the opportunity of having Bryn in his lap.

“You want to go tomorrow? Well -- right, yeah. Fine, but we’re probably going to have to buy the tickets... now. Ish.”

[sanmelhekh]

thethiefoftheshire:

“For me–you can’t make this easy for me, can you?”

Bryn sighed, narrowing his eyes playfully before giving Toren a light shove. Of course not. Hm. Somewhere outside of Europe might be fun, anyways, so he clicked his tongue, shifting so he could sit with his legs across Toren’s lap.

“I would say Nepal, then. We haven’t gone outside of Europe in some time. There, I chose. Now you can stop looking smug, thanks-” 

“Fine. Non-European it is. We’ll start packing tonight.”

He snorts, rolling with the shove as if Bryn could actually ever push him over. Lumbering through the streets at 6′4″ was easy when the entire crowd parted to let one pass, but he enjoyed letting Bryn have this little bit of power to himself.

“What? Why would I do that? I just got the best Christmas present. It’s sitting in my lap right now. Although I think it might need to lay off the new years pie. It’s still really cute, though.”

thethiefoftheshire:

@sanmelhekh

“You were still wanting to go somewhere during break, weren’t you?”

Was that a stupid question? It was a stupid question. “Or–let me rephrase that. Of course you’re wanting to go somewhere. I want to go somewhere..where did you want to go?”

Better. Bryn made a face as he looked at his phone, trying to figure out where they should go. He and Toren had gone to so many places at this point that it was a bit of a harder option to choose a new destination. A place that they hadn’t seen.

“Have we gone to Switzerland? I don’t think we have. Ooor..somewhere..in..India..oh! We could go to Nepal, perhaps? It’s up to you. You know I’m fine with anywhere we go.”

“I wa gonna say -- of course I want to go somewhere. And no. We skipped Switzerland in favor of Germany, remember?”

But he’s not going to complain so long as they find somewhere to go -- after all, it wouldn’t be a proper start of the year if they had to stick around in London trying to enjoy themselves.

But he’s never made anything quite that easy.

“Nepal sounds nice. So does Liechtenstein. And what about that little principality between Spain and France? So many choices. For you to pick from.”

how long has it been since I’ve poked my head in here...

[sanmelhekh]

thethiefoftheshire:

"Perfect?" There was a smile and a soft sigh as he tipped his head to the side, giving Toren’s hands a gentle squeeze. "Because it’s definitely perfect. Amazing. Wonderful," he murmured, just relaxing underneath Toren. It felt so right..the way Toren felt pressed up against him, or the little kisses his bestowed, or even the way their fingers intertwined. It just felt so right. “I haven’t been this happy in years.” Bryn smiled a little, leaning up just enough to press their lips together in a gentle kiss. “You make me happy..”

"Yeah, kinda.  How'd you know?" Toren smirks and kisses the other's forehead, giving the other's middle a little squeeze as he hugged him.  Each little kiss was returned while he toyed with the bottom of Bryn's shirt, hands simply wandering along his body while they rested together.  "Hey, I'm hoping I can keep making you happy for a really long time, so don't peak too soon, alright?  I have a long way to go~"

[sanmelhekh]

thethiefoftheshire:

"I would you hope you enjoy being a couple more. After all, we get to make out all we want." He snickered and returned the kisses, letting out a tiny gasp as he was pinned underneath Toren. His eyes narrowed playfully, and then his gaze softened, and he couldn’t help but smile at Toren’s expression. It made his heart flutter. "Oh, Toren.." he murmured, reaching up to gently caress his cheek. "Now that I have you, I’d be stupid to break your heart. I would never do that to you..because I..I..really care about you. You mean the world to me.."

"I trust you." he shrugs, reaching to pin Bryn's hands above his head.  It's a position he's always favored even though he used to not be able to do a thing about it.  Now that he can, though, he likes to take his time exploring.  Soft, slow kisses are pressed to the smaller man's lips while he links their fingers together, little sighs apparent each time they part.  The sentiment is mutual -- Bryn is his world, his everything, but he's never been quite as good at words as he has, so all the things he wants to say come out in the way his body presses against the other's, or the softness of the kisses along his neck.  "I love this, being with you, it's..."

[sanmelhekh]

thethiefoftheshire:

  "Well..still. You would’ve thought that I would’ve said something after prom.."

This was no time to dwell on that, he supposed. Closing his eyes, he relaxed against Toren, absently trailing his fingers along his side. At his statement, he snorted, shaking his head. “You know what I mean, though. There was an us as best friends, and there’s an us now as a couple,” he muttered, kissing along his collarbone.

"I can't decide which one I like more.  But I do know that I absolutely love the perks that come with being a couple~" he smirks at that, stealing another few kisses before he rocks his hips and rolls Bryn underneath him.  Pinned, he sets both of his elbows on either side of the smaller man's head and simply gazes down at him with profound affection.  "I get to call you mine.  I'm never letting you go, you know.  Even if you broke my heart I'd still..."

father-of-durin replied to your post:Blue-ish?  Or… Green-ish?

[ blue-ish is my vote. ]

I really wish I could have like, a mix of both tbh because the colors are so pretty but mixing them makes it so much darker 8(

[sanmelhekh]

Blue-ish?  Or...

Green-ish?

[sanmelhekh]

Eeeee.

They're so dark but I like them dark anyway so eeeeeee.

[sanmelhekh]

Iiiiii really like these.

thethiefoftheshire:

”..Because I value your opinion, even though I’m right.” He grinned as he returned the kiss, absently trailing his hands up and down Toren’s sides as he listened to him speak. “Yeah..it feels like this is how we always should’ve been. I’m sorry I didn’t say anything sooner,” he murmured, sighing a little bit. “I mean, it should’ve been obvious that you felt the same, and..as adventurous as I am, you would think that I would’ve taken the risk sooner, but..”

He shrugged, a tiny smile on his face as he returned each and every one of the kisses, giving a few of his own. “Hm? Well..we are an ‘us.’ And I like making you smile.”

"You shouldn't apologize, Bryn.  I could've said something too.  We were both scared."

He pulled the other closer, resting his head atop of his and wrapping his arms around his form.  True, they could have said something earlier, but would it feel the same then?  Fingers stroke carefully through blond hair as he presses a kiss to Bryn's temple before he smirks, letting out a little laugh.  "We've always been an us, Bryn.  Well, sometimes your brother was there too.  But I don't think there's ever been a time when I've considered us separate.  You're implying that we've been dating since we were two."
