Aliana smiled at the kiss to her forehead, bobbing her head up a little higher to accept more kisses. She liked his attention, his warm, soft gazes as he stared at her. She moved against his warm side, snuggling closer.
"Will you sleep with me tonight, Cian? I want to be sure you will return to me tomorrow night, warm on my side." She wasn't afraid to sleep with him. He was cozy and comfy.
He chuckles softly. It was a thick and velvety sound. If someone were to sew it into a blanket it would be the fluffiest, softest and warmest blanket in the world. He nods slowly. "I will rest with you." He replies gently, his hand running through her hair as he let her tuck into his side. He thought it was rather sweet. He gazed at her, smiling gently before settling down into the bed and tugging her to his side.
Aliana shivered at the sound of his chuckle, enchanting her deeper into the luxurious, soft blanket of his voice. She soon found herself laying down, and she used the chance to cuddle closer and hide into his chest with a happy little sigh. She wouldn't let her worries completely die down, but she did want to forget about them just a little.
"Thank you, Cian," She murmured softly as her eyes fell shut.
Time skip?//
(Sure!)
After the fights or during?//
(Well assuming Cian would be able to beat the shit out of them, after?)
(Okie dokie)
(^~^)
Cian collapsed against a wall of the arena, wiping blood from his lip. He was clutching his side and he was trembling but he was alive. The arena was covered in blood and bodies of the now dead nobles sat there. He had sent Sumika to go and find new nobles worthy of the title before he sighed softly and limped out of the area, shedding his shirt so he could assess the deep wound in his side.
Once Sumika had left, and all of the noise of battle died down, Aliana peeked out from her hiding spot to gaze at him. She had a few medical supplies hanging from her hands. She bounded over quietly with Blizzard on her heels, settling down next to him. Her makeup was a bit smudged, suggesting that she was either hiding in her hands or crying (perhaps both?). She moved his hands with her small ones and started to clean the wound, her head dipped as she worked, completely silent, which was strange for the human.
He winced as he gazed at the wound. He looked over at Aliana and smiled a little, his clean hand going to gently touch her cheek. He smiled gently at her. "I kept my promise." He says softly. Blizzard rests beside him and makes a soft purring noise. He winced when he let her take care of his wound, leaning back a little. He grunts in slight pain before gazing at her. "You're awfully quiet."
Aliana relaxed her head into his hand, and she finished with the wound, sighing softly and taking his other hand. She bit her lip and nodded, looking up at him with a small sniffle.
"Let's go back to my room. It's closer," She murmured softly, standing up and helping him up to his feet the best she could. She kept her head down away from his gaze again, leaning against him and taking as much of his weight as she could, her arms wrapped around his waist.
He walked beside her and grunts softly, allowing her to support him. He sighed softly and settles on the bed and settles down and sighs softly. He groans and sighed softly and holds onto his side. He looks back up at the other and smiles gently at her. He looks around and shakes his head. "Are you alright?" He mutters, running his thumb along her cheek.
Aliana lowered herself down so she was sitting next to him, letting go of his waist and gently taking one of his hands so they were off of his wound. It would just make it hurt more. She focused on entwining her fingers with his as he settled down, trying not to listen to her soft groans.
"I'm okay." She leaned her head into his other hand.
Sorry about being gone so long, School started//
Cain sighed once he was on the bed, His eyes shutting for a moment. He held onto her hand gently, his thumb running over her knuckles. He gazed at her. "You are a very peculiar woman, Aliana." He whispers. He gazes up at her with soft golden eyes.
(That’s ok, I understand!)
Alaina blinked down at him as he opened his eyes, her hands still wrapped around his. Her eyes were still shining with worry, but she smiled a little as he turned his head anyway. Alaina settled onto the bed next to him and sighed.
“Don’t talk, you need rest.”
(Bump?)
OOFIES I'M BACK//
(YAAAAAY I MISSED YOUUU!)
(I responded btw xD)
Alaina blinked down at him as he opened his eyes, her hands still wrapped around his. Her eyes were still shining with worry, but she smiled a little as he turned his head anyway. Alaina settled onto the bed next to him and sighed.
“Don’t talk, you need rest.”
Cain smiled gently and ran a hand through her hair. "I'll be alright." He mutters gently, kissing the back of her hand in an assuring manner. He smiled a bit before wincing faintly. Sumika watched silently from the doorway. "I will be making my leave brother. I will come back when we have replaced the nobles with more suitable ones." She says quietly.
Alaina moved her head onto his shoulder, careful not to press anywhere that was too injured for her to relax. She jumped at the sudden voice of the other vampire, tilting her head up a little and smiling a little. Her fingers looped with Cain’s after he kissed the back of her hand, letting herself be reassured by his soft, calm words.
Cain nods to his sister before settling beside Alaina. He was glad to have her there beside him. He stayed there, shutting his eyes. He healed faster then most vampires, so he wouldn't be surprised if he was healed in the next few days. He smiled gently at Alaina. "I told you I would survive." he says quietly, removing his mask once his sister was gone.
Alaina gazed up at his handsome face, becoming entranced with it as she gazed into his beautiful yellow eyes. She rose her free hand to rest it on his cheek, still looking worried at his statement.
“You did survive. But I just wish you never had to go at all.” She snuggled closer to him, wrapping her free arm around his neck while still holding onto his hand.
His bright yellow eyes glint the moment the moonlight hit them. He smiled and leaned into her hand. He shook his head. "People were dying. I could not let that continue." he whispers as he gazed at her. "I did what I had to do to protect my people."
(Sorry I forgot the color of his eyes)
Alaina’s gaze flicked up to meet his as he stared at her. Her blonde hair shimmered in the moonlight; a pretty white color that almost matched Cain’s. “I guess you’re right. I just don’t like seeing you hurt.” She rubbed her thumb on his smooth skin. She could ever imagine her king hurt. He was always strong and standing tall. It hurt her to see him like this.
He leaned into her hands, her warm embrace comforting him from the dull, aching pain. He gazed at her hair, running a hand through it. She was breathtaking in every way. He sighed. "As long as I have you, I have nothing to fear." He whispers.
Noticing that he was enjoying the hug, she wrapped her arms the best she could around him and buried her head into the crook of his neck unblushingly. She had been so worried for him (her palms still had the nail marks where she was gritting her fists) she hadn’t been able to express any sort of relief. Now it was flooding over her: her king would be okay.
“I can say the same, my king,” She mumbled into his skin.
He smiled a little bit as he kissed her forehead, and holds her close. "For now, my love. Let's just rest." He whispers softly as he held onto her.
