why he’s the cause of this side of daehyun emery couldn’t say, there are many in this world who can invoke lust in the other male and frustration likewise, but apparently none quite like him. it was a compliment in itself, but this game was a wicked one. they were always just this close but not close enough, doing some sort of sinful dance with each other. deep down, there was probably something more going on than just fatal lust. emery had thought for a long time now that daehyun is the only person in this place he truly wants, the only one he even deigns to think could handle him and the kind of person he is let alone be willing to truly try. he chose long ago to make him the target of his affections and seductions, and alongside that to not lose the battle of who would become weakest for the other first. even if daehyun turned him away, emery wouldn’t give up on the other. yet it seems too risky to admit just how much he truly wants, or even needs, daehyun. so instead they taunt each other, dip toes over the line they should cross but are too prideful and cowardly to do so with. ‘ mm, maybe one day ’ he replies, coy smirk tugging at lips as his eyes flicker to the male now walking a sorry path of shame away. ‘ that truth serum really is rather effective isn’t it?’ emery responds, for lack of a better one because truly he’s shocked, he would’ve expected ‘just you’ to be the lie despite all his cockiness, but its the truth and emery almost regrets asking because its not like this is the right situation to further debate on the topic. the fact it seems certain that the longing for each other more than anyone else is mutual.
It’s almost wry, the way the corner of his mouth tugs up at the other’s question, laughter that tickles his tongue is swallowed down because he doesn’t want to lead the other into other question, he doesn’t want to be unwrapped and exposed against his will, a potion forcing truths out that he’s more keen on hiding, masking behind pretexts and nonchalance. Daehyun isn’t sure bold is the right word to use here, he doesn’t feel bold -- that wasn’t what brought him to the other. His eyes look for him while sober and he is frustrated when he can’t find him ( he’s frustrating, out of sight but not out of mind ); he looks for him when drunk because inhibitions are lost and rules he’s laid out for himself are forgotten. It’s his desire that draws him in. his need; but he’s happy to throw a blanket of bold over it all. it’s easier that way. “ Do you want me to ignore you then ? “ He asks his own question, eyes curious as he looks at the other. “ Do you want me to stop, “ he rolls his hips into the others, “ maybe let you get back to your earlier conversation ? “ Lines existed for a reason; to keep, to break and to dangerously teeter on. Everyone has lines, for their own reasons, and they do one of three things; they are no different, always half in and half out. It’s a perilous dance, a vicious game and in the end, someone wins and someone loses. The reward and the cost -- he was chary of both.
Lips curl into a smirk against the others neck, it’s a mixture of Emery’s words and the way he feels the other tilt his head back that does it; light kisses turn heavy, teeth and tongue nipping and sucking a trail, jacket tugged as far off his shoulder as he can get it, mesh shirting held out of his way. “ I’m always frustrated, “ he says it easily, pulling back to look at Emery, the main cause of his frustrations, “ make me work as hard as you want, frustrate me to no end, make it a challenge; I’ll still have you screaming for me, I promise you that. “ Breathing is rougher, the attention on his own neck quickens it and his pulse; teeth dig into his bottom lip, his attempt at containing his reaction to the sensation. His neck is sensitive and he can’t help or change that fact, a sigh that is a mixture of disappointment and relief exhaled through his nostrils once Emery stop his ministrations. Whatever he feels doesn’t last long, breath hitching as he tenses against the other -- he doesn’t expect it and his reaction is too quick to hold back or mask; the feeling of Emery’s mouth around his thumb is hot, the look in his eyes is an entirely different beast and he’s lost in fantasies of plump lips wrapped around something else, he wants him lower, that tongue teasing him in different ways. God, he walked into a fucking trap, he could laugh.
One of them is made of glass but, no, it isn’t Emery; he isn’t fragile or cracked and nor does he have up a deceiving wall of porcelain passed off as something sturdy and treacherous. That’s Daehyun. He’s nervous, hesitant, scared of going further because although he knows he wants Emery, he’s not entirely sure the scope that one word covers. “ Maybe you should’ve dressed as the devil instead, you’re devious. “ He says it mildly, but the truth is heavy in his voice. He trails his thumb across Emery’s bottom lip, down until he has his chin, urges him forward and lightly presses his lips against the others; then harder several times, but he catches himself, stops and licks his lips. “ I’m not sure what I’m going to do, maybe I’ll try to get your hopes up and the leave, “ he hums, trails kisses along Emery’s jawline, “ or maybe I won’t, after all you’re asking so nicely. “
