A link to the version on AO3: Nature (And Bloodhound) are sexy
"Calling upon nature's strength!" you cry, your face a picture of determination and a look in your eyes that suggests to anyone who sees it not to anger you. But a simple glance from your companion - usually obscured by the goggles, helmet, and respirator - causes your façade to crumble, revealing your drunken grin and unfocused eyes.
You weren't sure if Bloodhound was annoyed by your antics, but they were not scolding you, so you just grinned as innocently as you could, even if the influence of alcohol made you want to suddenly break out into song. What sounded like a sigh, they slide the plate of food over to you with a gloved hand and you pick up a few stray grapes so you can place 'nature's strength' into your still smiling mouth. You munch quite contentedly and mutter a thank you, leaning back on one elbow as you watch them through your eyelashes. As they remove their ventilator to eat some of the food themselves, you instinctively look away out of respect, thinking back to how you befriended the legend.
It's not like you both ran in the same social circles or had similar types of careers, it was a chance shortcut through the woods on the way back to your house that led to you crossing paths with them. Had it not been for the fact that you had tripped and sprained your ankle, they wouldn't have found you whimpering in pain and offered to help you home.
That was a few months ago, and since then you have found that you both have a few things in common. As you slowly got to know them beyond the games and people's opinions of them, it turned out that they are a very good friend to have. Not only are they capable and resourceful when it comes to the games and their personal life, they are also tremendously kind and strong and reliable. Despite their mysterious appearance and the fact that you have no idea what they look like, you had unintentionally started to develop feelings for them. Why did their overall mannerisms and way of speaking have to be so damn sexy and enticing to you? Maybe it was the way they presented themselves and the fact that you couldn't see their face that drew you in-
"Did you speak félagi?" asks Bloodhound, snapping you out of your memories and bringing you back to the present. You blush at the realisation that you may or may not have said some things out loud. You pick out a grape, intending to eat it, but you roll it around between two fingers. Dry-mouthed, you look away from them and gaze up at the sky.
"Nature is kind of sexy, don't you think?" You say randomly as you wish you could snatch the words back. Silence follows and you feel their gaze on your back, waiting patiently for you to continue. "W-what I mean by that is...is...nature is all around us and I think we take it for granted. I know I take it for granted, but sometimes when I am watching a sunset or sitting by a lake and just seeing these gorgeous views, I'm suddenly overcome with the urge... to flirt with my surroundings?" You finish your sentence almost as if you were asking them a question, rather than it being an opinion. Finally, you look over at them to gauge their reaction. Your eyes hover just above their goggles, trying not to make any real eye contact with them as you inwardly wince in embarrassment. Bloodhound props their elbows on their knees, as if pondering your words.
"So.." they begin slowly, "You want to flirt with nature because nature is so sexy". They didn't phrase it as a question, but you answer anyway.
"Yep - yes. Aside from recycling and trying to be resourceful when I can, I feel like this is a much more personal way for me to show my appreciation". You say it quickly, hoping that the answer you gave actually makes sense, though it was clearly nonsense. You were surprised your face didn't physically glow because it felt so hot, if they didn't think you were an idiot before, they do now.
"Although I do not quite understand how you would 'flirt' with nature, I appreciate your way of thinking. It is very endearing and I am sure every creature, tree and lake would be very happy to have met you while you exude such appreciation". Bloodhound tries to say it with conviction and sincerity, but every word is laced with amusement and they almost manage to suppress a laugh. All you do is lie back on the blanket so that you are now looking up at the darkening sky
"Ok, ok! I may not say much of anything meaningful due to my low alcohol tolerance, but I promise our next date will go much better" You say to Bloodhound with confidence before it fully dawns on you. "Not that I'm assuming this is a date! You are a very good friend of mine and when I say date, I mean it in a friendly way... A friendly date" You whisper the last words pathetically, wishing for a sudden gust of wind to sweep you out of the situation. It also didn't help that Bloodhound listened as you rambled on without ever interrupting you, a trait you usually admired in them, now made you feel exposed and vulnerable.
And at that moment, Artur, who had been flying comfortably above the two of you, and had originally returned to steal a grape to eat, was now perched on an upturned flowerpot, watching the two of you with interest.
You stared at the raven for a moment before letting your head sink back onto a cushion below you. You had only closed your eyes for a few seconds before you felt a strong, calloused hand gently resting on your bare arm.
"Is this not a date?" They inquire softly, their voice now very intimate, running their fingers along your arm as if to reassure you. All it did was excite you and make you aware of how close their body was to yours, even though you wished you were physically closer. As if they heard your thoughts, the hand that made you feel this way suddenly gripped your hip and pulled you towards them without much effort, so that you were now lying on your side facing them. You cried out in shock and widened your eyes. You tried to pull back to avoid colliding with them, but that only resulted in them pulling you in even tighter, with your legs now intertwined with theirs.
"Whatever this is, I am enjoying it very much and I want to do this again with you" they said simply.
Bloodhound did not begin to speak again, preferring to watch your reaction to this new found closeness. It definitely had an effect on you, you trembled in their embrace and tried unsuccessfully to stifle a moan that left your slightly parted lips. Their hand left your waist and travelled up your back, finally coming to rest in your hair, which they slowly began to tease between their fingers.
"Blóð..." you sigh. These sudden new sensations become overwhelming and yet not enough at the same time. With tentative fingers, you explored as much of their body as you could, considering how little room you had for it, and smiled as they moaned at your touch. Their hand leaves your hair, much to your disappointment, until you realise it's only to remove their ventilator. A surge of excitement runs through you, your heart thumping almost painfully as you watch with heavy-lidded eyes as the ventilator disappears and you stare in wonder at the lower half of their face. You notice the now old scars that can be seen almost everywhere on their face except for their lips. Now that you can see part of their appearance, and the fact that they trusted you enough to reveal a part of themselves that probably makes them more vulnerable to you, you find that the urge to kiss them all over is growing stronger.
And just as you lean in closer, they give you a shy smile that melts your heart and makes you feel warm all the way down to your toes. Before your lips touch, Bloodhound pauses and softly says your name to get you to stop focusing on their lips and instead listen to what they have to ask next.
"So, you find me sexy and enticing, Fallegur?"
