It’s been quite some time since Walter and Joachim managed to turn what was supposed to be a bloody fight into sudden romance and healing time. What with Walter’s feelings being just as suppressed as well, then to suddenly have them be aggressively brought out of him at Joachim’s close proximity... It was both welcoming and absolutely horrible. The red vampire had no idea how much his heart and mind could be exploited so, which he never thought could be done on purpose.
Until signs began to line up before his very eyes, staring right at him as if to mock him for being so blind. Yet, what truly could he do? His very core has been exposed and touched by the loving embrace of a lover, whose claws slowly began sinking further into his very soul. The very bond that he once sought to gain control of is now being used against him. Once he came to some kind of realization it was much too late, as he’s sunken in too deep. Joachim has him now, claws deep enough that he could feel it on his very skin.
There is no escape, and a part of Walter just doesn’t want to, as he rest his head with tired eyes staring into nothingness. He’s with his beloved once again, so that’s all that mattered, right? They’re together and Joachim - at the moment - is safe and sound, away from danger and away from being neglected. The Sire is quite tired, yet lost all the ability to comment, complain, or even to fight against what is asked of him in any way. He makes no sound, not even to breathe - which he doesn’t actually need to be doing anyway - as he rests his head upon the younger vampire’s lap, his cheek flush against the top of his thigh. His arms are both wrapped around Joachim’s legs and the other reaching up to hold on tightly to one of his hands.
Walter would tense at every moment, every sound, as if whatever it could be would separate the two. The pupils of his golden eyes are almost nonexistent, as he rests with his darling, his beloved, his everything... as well as the current bane of his existence, the reason why he’s so on edge, so jumpy and on the verge of a breakdown, if he wasn’t broken already...
