❝And what would you do if I’d decide to take a day off? Will you take care of ME. for once, Sorey?❞
❛ HMM, I think I’ll consider it. ❜ As in yes, he would totally take care of his Mikleo. ❛ Maybe I’d use that time to up my cooking skills. ❜
serapxim.
Brow twitch. Of course he did. ❝…You were just too lazy to make your own, didn’t you.❞
❛ AND what makes you think I can beat your treats, Mikleo ? I’d rather have a taste from yours ! ❜
serapxim.
❝It’s not LIKE you to pout like this. You could’ve just come with me, you know.❞ Funny? Nah, more like adorable.
❛ YOU promised you’d make me a pumpkin mousse ! I was waiting all day. ❜
serapxim.
Well, that drew a chuckle. Don’t say you didn’t miss him— ❝What’s with that face—❞
❛ AND what’s so funny ? I was wondering where you were all day ! ❜
serapxim.
Pinches the nose of a stupido.
❛ MIKLEO ... ❜ He’s pouting, definitely pouting.
❝RING A BELL!❞
loved by ki! / independent Yuri Lowell of Tales of Vesperia. oc & multifandom friendly!

It wasn’t the kiss that surprised him. He knew what was going to happen the moment Sorey shifted his weight. The gentle hand that came to rest on top of his was to blame.
Somehow such a simple action cultivated powerful intimacy. A spark that set fire to something that had been brewing inside of him for nearly an hour. Even though he’d pushed it down several times (when they first lay down close together, when they were by the window under starlight) he was here undone. The feeling brought a rueful smile to his face. Then he decided to take a change on his instincts.
❛ Sounds like a good excuse. I’ll have to use it later. ❜
At last he eased his hand out from under Sorey’s own so that he could make use of it. The heel of his palm met the other man’s sternum with a subdued push. From that implication Yuri let his hand glide upwards (towards collarbones and then left shoulder) to ensure Sorey continued to recline. Then, when he had him parallel with the tired mattress, he lay down beside him.
He let his upper body overlap with Sorey’s because he meant to kiss him. One hand slipped into his short hair and cradled the back of his head while he did so. That was just one of many things that made this kiss different from the two they’d shared already. Every chaste brush was deliberate and slow, designed to coax (or maybe teach?) until a single kiss matured into a string of them.
❛ WELL, that’s all I can really say about it. ❜ It was the GENUINE truth but he figured this was enough. Though, another kiss sounded quite APPEALING. All the while he CONTEMPLATED if he should go in for another, Yuri’s hand escaped Sorey’s from underneath and that very hand encouraged him to recline further down onto the mattress until he was completely down.
He offered his companion a mildly confused smile but it all made sense when he lay next to him so that they could engage in yet another kiss. He wasn’t complaining at all; this was exactly what he’s been HOPING for. His eyes fluttered shut as their lips reunited into what was no longer a single kiss but soon, a series of them. With each and every one that parted momentarily into another, Sorey easily YEARNED for more. He wasn’t sure what more he was hoping for but their shared INTIMACY between their lips was something he couldn’t get enough of. He didn’t hesitate to eagerly return every one of the kisses, pressing further as he continuously savoured the PLEASANT sensations. How could he take this further ? What was this rising HEAT in his body ? Without thinking, he wrapped his arms around his neck to act on the simple desire of having him closer. He retreated his lips momentarily, as if to take a moment for himself. His face was now completely FLUSHED and his breaths were taken in uneven intervals.
❛ Yuri ... ❜ He murmured almost breathlessly. What did he want to say ? What more was he hoping for ? As if unsure of what to do, he simply settled to join their lips once more but with an evident longing.
like this for a short starter ! it’ll range from a one-liner to a paragraph but i need to show my boy some love haha. of course, mutuals only and multimuses do comment your muse below !

❛ I didn’t think a kiss on the cheek would keep you up either but here we are. ❜
Sorey’s energy and curiosity combined was a formidable force at bed time (as Yuri was regularly learning). Meanwhile Yuri suffered under the weight of what he’d intentionally left unspoken. A mixed collection of feelings that had hardened into an impulse, one he swallowed like a bitter pill when they were by the window. Now it seemed the trigger would be pulled one way or another.
If he didn’t kiss Sorey then Sorey declared he would kiss him instead.
❛ Alright, but don’t say I didn’t warn you later. ❜
Lest he expose his willingness he kept his hands to himself. One took his weight while he leaned over. He canted his head, pressed lips to lips, and then steeled his resolve by leaning back.
SOREY had a feeling that Yuri wouldn’t refuse his less than SILLY request but as soon as he agreed to play along, there was a tiny spark of nervousness. His smile lingered all the while he began to close the distance between them but it slowly waned with each approaching second. The further he leaned in, the more his heart PATTERED. For some reason, this proximity induced a warm, fuzzy feeling in his chest. Come to think of it, was it like this earlier ?
As their lips met, he momentarily tensed ( perhaps out of slight surprise ) but he quickly eased into it. This was ... nice. Were his lips always this soft ? Just as Yuri drew back, there was a momentary pause between them ( it felt a bit too short ). Sorey then made an instinctive move to lean forward for another one and in the same moment, the hand which held his weight was raised slightly to find a new place to rest and he soon settled upon the other’s. Perhaps this was LONGER than how a goodnight’s kiss should’ve been but Sorey couldn’t help but PROLONG the kiss.
Their now joined hands, the tender kiss, the pleasant but yet EXHILARATING thrum of his heart -- it was a moment that he wished would never end but Sorey found it in himself to at least part for now. ❛ ... Sorry. It just felt nice so I couldn’t help myself ? ❜ A sheepish laugh. He honestly wasn’t sure if he could actually sleep now.
blazoredge:
Why ask indeed…?
His feelings were once again conveniently left on the back burner. A nonchalant shrug of one shoulder came more easily, as did the broad answer he gave in reply.
❛ Seems like there’s a lot on your mind. ❜
Yuri was content to let the conversation end there. When Sorey turned and began to step away from him his first thought was that their walk was about to commence. It didn’t though; Sorey had obviously changed his mind and dropped onto bed with a yawn.
He knew without being prompted that he had to get into bed himself or else be faced with climbing over Sorey if they were to get back to their original positions. No sooner had he come to sit beside him though did their interaction take another turn. The reflexive widening of his eyes was sheltered by the dark but not so much that it couldn’t be noticed while they were so close together. His usual skepticism soon overrode surprise (he arched a brow, leaned his weight onto his palms, and answered him with his own spin on the joke).
❛ Is that where you want me to kiss you? You’re never going to get to sleep if we start doing things like that. ❜
❛ IT’S only a peck on the lips ! I don’t see how that would keep me up. You’re making it sound like it won’t end with just that. ❜ What initially began as a joke developed into something that Sorey wanted to try out. Sorey knew it wasn’t anything all that THRILLING but the thought of a goodnight’s kiss sounded NICE. Maybe it would actually help him sleep better. It would be good if it helped Yuri in turn as well.
❛ So, what do you say ? ❜ He shifted his weight onto his palms as he leaned towards him with an EAGER smile. He wouldn’t mind initiating it himself but had to make sure first. ❛ I’ll do it if you want. ❜
blazoredge:
A look of surprise stole across his features when Sorey stepped closer and at first Yuri wondered if he’d tripped. He raised his hand to help steady him and then stopped (not quite touching the small of Sorey’s back).
The startle he should have seen on Sorey’s face simply wasn’t there.
He left his arm where it was in a moment of quiet indecision. It’d be be strange to do nothing with it but possibly stranger still to go on putting it around someone who didn’t need to be supported. Ultimately the latter seemed the worse of two evils and so he attempted to nonchalantly lower his hand and pretend that he hadn’t ever brought it forward.
❛ Are you okay? ❜
He meant to ask: are you sure.
❛ It doesn’t matter to me either way. ❜
THOUGH Sorey noticed his raised hand, he said nothing to it but instead wondered what he was doing. Did he get the impression that Sorey was about to trip or something ? He blinked for a moment.
❛ Yeah, I’m fine ! Why do you ask ? ❜ He began to make for the bed again and he took his seat, waiting for the other to join him before he laid back down. Seeing as he didn’t mind either way, they might as well go to bed at this point. He found himself letting loose a big yawn. Maybe he was a bit WORN out after all.
❛ Hmm. Maybe another goodnight’s kiss will do the trick. ❜ A PLAYFUL jest. ❛ Don’t some people usually give kisses on the lips though ? ❜ It was a little tidbit he heard Zaveid mention in conversation awhile back and it sounded PLAUSIBLE. It wasn’t like Sorey never witnessed it but it made him wonder about a few things since it wasn’t an often sight or occurrence.
blazoredge:
Standing close by the window with a smile between them stirred up a feeling he’d pushed down not so long ago. This time it had been provoked by familiar words from an unfamiliar mouth, the shape of which inexplicably fascinated and upset him.
Little by little, almost beyond notice, the smile that had mirrored Sorey’s own simmered down. Soon there was only his usual neutral expression, or at least something that looked very much like that. He was good at averting his gaze before any traces of truth could be gleaned (returning to eye contact only after protective cynicism had set).
After all why should he wait to be told things he already knew? Why fix what needn’t be broken?
❛ Yeah. We thought so too. ❜
IT was an ephemeral moment they shared but nonetheless, he drew a step closer towards his companion as a sign of COMFORT and simply watched the stars before them. There was someone waiting for Sorey back home but ... surely, he wouldn’t mind waiting for a bit longer, right ? It was INEVITABLE that he would return home with time but he might as well make the most out of his time while he was here. Besides, it was the PERFECT opportunity to explore the unknown and live out a life he never could before. Though, he supposed with Yuri at his side, they would end up with TROUBLE more than he would ever hope for ( given how reckless he was ) but being by his side felt WORTHWHILE.
He mindlessly gazed back over to Yuri, ignorant of his dimmed smile but he felt that something changed -- he wasn’t sure what it was though. Perhaps it was just his imagination. ❛ ... We can probably save the walk for tomorrow. You can see everything better when it’s bright out after all. I’ll try to sleep, I promise. I’m sure I tired you out, sorry. ❜
blazoredge:
Since Sorey was getting up Yuri was doing the same. He did most of his stretching whilst still being seated. Then, after leaning forward and dragging his boots out from under the bed, he paused.
❛ It’d be more trouble if you ended up lost. ❜
Which was just another way of saying that he intended to go with him.
He noticed Sorey’s attention wandered towards the window. Without putting his shoes on he stood up and crossed the meager distance between them. One step, two steps, then three: they were side by side in a different way. Yuri settled one of his hands on his own hip but left the other rest in wait.
❛ I don’t know much about stars… That one, though… ❜
Finally his patient arm rose to direct Sorey’s gaze towards the largest and brightest star. There was something undeniably nostalgic about the moment. He could remember the exact evening he had first heard about that star so well. Yet despite the warmth that memory elicited he kept almost all of the story to himself, safe and sound. Old habits died hard.
❛ A friend told me its called ‘Brave Vesperia,’ our guild is named after it. ❜
In place of those details he shared a gentle smile (the kind that settled in his eyes instead of only on his lips). It wasn’t aimed at the star, though he surely had some fondness for it, but for Sorey himself. A testament to the growing bond between them.
SOREY’S attention was momentarily diverted from the stars when the other arrived by his side. He curiously flickered his gaze back to his companion in question when he mentioned a STAR and his emerald hues soon followed the direction of his arm. In the same way, his eyes TWINKLED at the sight before him, almost FASCINATED by such a star but it was all melted away when he glanced back to observe Yuri’s expression.
-- He’s never seen such a GENTLE smile before.
His heart skipped a pleasant beat and he thoughtlessly averted his eyes to the stars once more. It was quite ROMANTIC, to name the guild after a star that shone as bright as HOPE.
❛ ‘ Brave Vesperia ’ ... huh ? I think it’s a perfect name. ❜ As if to confirm his words, he looked back at him with a widened smile, tender with FONDNESS for his companion before him. Perhaps what WARMED his heart was being able to experience a moment like this with Yuri.
blazoredge:
It was proving increasingly difficult to get Sorey to go to sleep. Even putting Karol and Patty to bed was easier. He sighed, momentarily at a loss, and let his head drop forward for a moment. In their close proximity he could feel Sorey’s shoulder against his brow (a convenient headrest). A private smile curled the corners of his mouth.
❛ What am I going to do with you? ❜
When Yuri raised his head he also changed the position of his arm so that he could lay his cheek in the comfort of his palm. If they weren’t going to sleep he might as well be comfortable while they engaged in conversation. He could actually get a glimpse of Sorey’s face from this angle too (as opposed to being limited to the back of his fluffy head).
❛ If you won’t sleep do you want to get up? We could go for a walk. ❜
Although he knew there wasn’t all that much to see at night in the lower quarter. Such a dark and ramshackle place was only dear to those who lived there. The folks that lived above them tended to keep all the pretty street lights and scenery to themselves.
❝ WE might as well go on a walk at this point. ❞ And with a chuckle, he eased himself off the bed and took a moment to stretch himself. He honestly didn’t mean to cause him any trouble like this but it was undeniably DIFFICULT to put himself to sleep when there was so much on his mind. At least a walk could put his mind away from things for a bit.
❝ But you’re feeling tired, you can just go on ahead to sleep. I’ll be back before you know it but what do you want to do ? ❞ He turned towards him, patiently awaiting his response. Come to think of it, it wasn’t too long ago since he’s STUMBLED into this world and to his dismay, he didn’t have that much of chance to EXPLORE the world as freely as he used to. He supposed it couldn’t be helped since the others had priorities to attend to and frankly, no one possessed as much PASSION as he did for ruins and the such. The most he could do was at least wander through the towns and taking in the SIGHTS before him. Maybe even occasionally asking the townspeople about any legends and whatnot.
He gazed out the frameless window, seemingly ENTICED by the stars which twinkled between the buildings. The stars really were different here.
❝ HEY, I have an idea ! Why don’t we try to make some chocolates together ? We can make them for tomorrow to give to everyone. ❞
blazoredge:
❛ Alright then, close your eyes. ❜
He had to draw some of his arm out from under the pillow to rest his weight on his elbow and rise up. Without that little leverage it would have been impossible to lean over and carry out his intended prank.
Initially he hadn’t intended the quip to go this far. Now that it had he couldn’t back down.
So much for sleeping.
His dark hair came forward with him to tickle Sorey’s neck. In fact the whole of his body leaned against Sorey’s simply because it had to. Being taller helped to reach beyond the intimate junction of neck and ear (though his eyes briefly explored the empty nook); he was aiming to lay his kiss on his cheek.
SOREY didn’t think that he was GENUINELY serious about it but he supposed that a little kiss wouldn’t hurt anybody. He closed his eyes, patiently AWAITING said kiss. How was he going to kiss him like this anyways ? They weren’t exactly in the most comfortable position meant for little things like these. Should he turn himself over ?
All the while he was busying himself in his thoughts, he found himself flinching at the brush of hair, tickling against his bare neck. What made his entire being TENSE was when Yuri pressed his body into his own. For a moment, he felt his breath pass by his ear which was enough to FLUSH his ears. This was .. more intimate than he would ever hope for it to be but he supposed it was INEVITABLE, given the proximity between them but it certainly didn’t make things less AWKWARD. Just slightly, he instinctively curled in out of embarrassment.
He blinked when a rather CHASTE kiss was finally planted against his cheek. He found himself somewhat ... underwhelmed as he apparently expected something MORE. He managed out a less than BASHFUL laugh and took this opportunity to relax himself. ❝ I didn’t think you were actually serious about it. That actually surprised me a bit so I’m honestly not sure if I can sleep now. ❞
points out something in the distance to look at and then sneaks a kiss onto an unsuspecting cheek
❝ HUH ? Is there something over there ? ❞ As soon as he turned his head, he blinked in ASTONISHMENT when lips pecked right against a cheek ! Immediately, he shifted his head right back over to meet Yuri’s now seemingly innocent expression ( as if he didn’t do a thing ! ) He stared at him for a moment, PUZZLED by his action but then he offered his companion one of his usual smiles, though a bit more BASHFUL than usual.
❝ Were you trying to SURPRISE me or something ?❞ He laughed and momentarily rested a hand over the kissed cheek. For some odd reason, this little gesture was enough to set his heart APOUNDING ... just a bit.
Hmm.
He drew a step closer to plant his lips just right at the EDGE of Yuri’s lips. It was REVENGE, if he had to call it something. He then retreated a step away with an even more RADIANT smile, confident he won somehow.
