Wild flowers from moonglows to apharaeluses and green grasses grew everywhere. Ethari followed Runaan in with a wide smile, glancing up at the beautifully round moon that hung perfectly above them. He walked towards the middle of the field and sat down, smiling down at the little friends he found there
Runaan gasped softly as he looks around the area. "What is this place?" He asks softly as they walk to the center, returning the smile Ethari gave him. The moon was breathtaking, so was the field and the scenery, but his eyes could not help but wander to the male in the center of it all. He sat down beside the other, unsure what to do as he gazed at the creatures around them.
He shrugged and picked up one of the fluffy creatures. “I’m not sure. I just found it while wandering around the forest.” He lies back into the grass, careful not to crush any other the creatures. “I’m sure someone has found it before me but it’s still pretty neat.” He laughed softly when the creatures cling to his clothing, carefully pulling them off and setting them in the grass. He glanced up at Runaan and grinned, setting one of The spore like creatures on his knee “they’re friendly, for the most part.” He chuckled softly and whilst fully looked at the moon, completely at peace with himself
(I thought I replied! I'm so sorry!)
Runaan watched him with curiosity before smiling a little bit. He was slightly startled when the creatures climbed on him, but slowly eased when they appeared not to be a threat. Runaan nods a little at Etharis words before glancing down to see he was completely covered by the small, fluffy creatures. He jumps in surprise, beginning to pick them off. He glanced up at Ethari, about to day something but the words never left his throat. Ethari looked breathtaking, the moon casting a beautiful halo of light around the other. He inhaled sharply, swallowing back a lump in his throat.
(you’re good it’s oki)
Ethari glanced up at the other with an innocent tilt of his head “is something wrong?” He sat up, slightly concerned. He scooped up a few of the fluffy little creatures sat cross legged in front of Runaan. He shook his head slightly to get the creatures out of his hair. “We can go back to the village if you want.”
Runaan cleared his throat. You're acting like a fool… He shook his head and smiled a little. "No, no. I just wasn't paying attention and they crawled all over me. Took me by surprise is all." He laughed before sitting down and relaxing beside the other. "So… If I may ask… Why did you bring me here?"
Ethari relaxed and gently poked at the little creatures with a smile. "and here you had me thinking that you all were supposed to be fearless," his eyes gleaned teasingly as he shrugged "thought you might need a break from all the training and stress. This seemed the perfect spot to relax." he glanced around, fiddling with a nearby flower, trying to calm his racing heartbeat. Why did he brink Runaan here?"
(I apologize for my absence. My mental health wasn't in the best place.)
(Nah it's all good! hope you're okay, take your time replying)
Runaan laughed quietly as he sat down. "Just took my by surprise." He replies softly as he looked down and tapped one of the fuzzy creatures before smiling at the other as he picked a few of them up. "Well lets see…" He smiled and pets one of them slowly, his eyes shutting in bliss as he turned his face towards the moon.
Ethari blushed and smiled up at Runaan. How could someone be so beautiful and both so dangerous? He stood silently and scooped up a few of the fluffy creatures and placed them on runaan’s hair. He brushed his fingertips against his horns and sighed softly before gazing up at the moon, praying silently
Runaan was soaking in the moon peacefully when he felt Ethari place the small creatures in his hair. He laughed at this, before looking at Ethari. "They're quite cute." he says softly, not wanting to ruin the peace of the moment.
“They really are,” he agreed, holding runaan’s gaze for awhile before moving back to his original spot beside Runaan. He laughed softly as the creatures embedded themselves in Runaan’s hair, making a purring sound. “You’re not getting those out for a while now.”
Boop
I'm back! I'm so sorry about that!//
Runaan smiled a little bit as he felt the creatures crawl through his hair, "No… I don't think I am." He chuckles and settles so he can look at the sky. It was so peaceful here. "Thank you… for showing me this place." He mutters softly, glancing at Ethari.
(Nah it’s okay! I’m just poking.)
Ethari glanced over after a while and smirked. He raised himself into a crouched position and launched himself at Runaan, causing them both to roll around a bit a scare the fluffy creatures. “I thought you were trained to be prepared for anything?” Ethari asked, Lansing on top of Runaan and pinning him down
Runaan cried out in surprise before laughing as they rolled around in the cool grass. "How bold of you to assume I'd let you win that easily!" He teases as he flips their position, his face a mere few inches from the other. "Boo." He laughs, his eyes warm, his smile genuine.
“Ah But wouldn’t I let you assume you’ve won? Only to lead to you a troubling realization that you’ve in fact lost?” Ethari countered, not actually having a way of getting out of the situation. not that he wanted to. he gazed up at Runaan. He smirked and a closed the gap between them by a few centimeters “is that supposed to scare me assassin?” Ethari asked with a slight tilt of his head, his heart in his throat.
"Hmm… I don't see how I have." He smirked in reply, his eyes glistening in the moonlight. "Please, educate me so I might know." He purrs, his thumb running along the others cheek. He startles a little when the other moved closer, but didn't move from his position, staring at the other with a bright smile. "Not really. Unless you wanted it to." He replies, leaving mere millimeters. He could feel the others warm breath.
Ethari leaned into Rowan’s touch with a softly sigh. His gazed flicked down to Runaan’s lips than back up to his beautiful eyes. His breath hitched as the other moved closer, no, I’m terrified… He could feel the brush of Runaan’s lips against his with every word spoke. Ethari gave into his temptation and gripped Runaan by the collar. He pulled him close and kissed him roughly, lips drawing over Runaan’s with ferocity, as if he would only be allowed this once to be allowed anything so wonderful. He squeezed his eyes shut, fearing any sign of rejection.
Runaan's breathing was slightly shaky with having the other so close to him. He leaned down, only kissing him harder and faster in reply. His lips were so soft, and he was just- Everything about Ethari was breathtaking to me. He wanted nothing more then to kiss the other for such a long time. He pulled him closer, gently nipping at his lips.
Ethari hummed in surprise and relaxed against Runaan. He moved his hands from Runaan's collar over his shoulder and around his neck, pressing him closer to his form. He pulled away slightly to breath and blushed deeply "p-please t-tell me you use that as a tactic in training…" He looked away in embarrassment,trying hide his flush with his scarf
Runaan pulled away before laughing quietly and sighing happily. "I would if it was this effective against everyone. But no- I just used it on you." he beamed at the other, his hand cupping Ethari's cheek and tracing his lips with his thumb. "You're beautiful…" he mumbled quietly, his eyes are bright. He blushed when he realized what he said, hiding his face shyly. "Sorry."
He gently pressed a kiss to Runaan’s fingertips and blushed deeply “don’t be sorry, not too bad looking yourself.” He teased, nudging into Runaan’s touch. “I’m the one who should be sorry. That probably shouldn’t be the way to properly kiss someone.” He ducked his head in embarrassment and played with Runaan’s hair.
He laughed softly and set a gentle kiss to Ethari's nose, sighing happily as he looks down at the other, smiling a little. "No, no. You were a great kisser." He mutters, pressing another soft kiss to Ethari's forehead, before he fell to the side and gazed at the other before looking up at the stars. "I'm… I'm happy with this." He murmured after a moment.
Ethanol beamed at the other as he settled next to him, his hand gently tracing his features. “I am too,”
He breathed a laugh as he gently plucked one of the little creatures from Runaan’s hair. “Adorable little things,” He cooed, holding one in his palm “go with your little friends.” He set the creature down and watch it scoot away to its home
Runaan smiled a little bit and leans into Ethari's touch, kissing his palm softly. He laughed at the small creature in his hair before gazing at Ethari. "You're so sweet." He mutters, gazing at the other with a gentle gaze, his eyes warm and filled with love.
“Nothing compared to you.” He murmured, tracing his lips. He gazed back with as much love as the other and leaned closer, brushing his lips against Runaan’s in a feather soft kiss.
He laughed quietly, leaning into Ethari's touch. His touch was so gentle, so warm. It gave Runaan hope and happiness. He sighed at the feather soft kiss, moving forward to capture his lips in a real kiss. "I love you." He whispers quietly. "Is it odd for me to say so?"
Ethari jumped in surprise and tilted his head to deepen the kiss, reveling in the taste and feel of Runaan’s lips against his. He dug his hands into the other’s hair, gently tugging him even close to his form
“No, I don’t think it is, as long as we both feel the same that is.” He offered a small smile “I love you too Runaan.” He pressed a kiss to his nose and brought their heads together. “Does this count as a victory for me or for you? Cuz I’m pretty sure I won.”
