“I don’t believe so..I think I have everything I’ll need, at least for a little bit.” He replied, gently putting the sheet music into the bag he had packed.

"Alright then." Arien smiled a bit. He tilted his head, taking Rafael's hand lightly.
"Anywhere else you'd like to go tonight?"

“Mm..not really. Unless there’s somewhere you wanted to go?” He asked, not protesting whatsoever when Arien grabbed his hand.

"No, none. Shall we head back to my place?" Arien smiled softly.

“Mhm, that sounds perfect.” he smiled over at Arien before starting to walk again, turning off the lights and locking the door as they left the apartment.

(Wanna do a time skip to when they’re back at the house?)

(Sure!)

Arien kept his hand in Rafael's as they approached his own home, smiling still.
"It's pretty late," he said, looking at Rafael. "Are you tired?"

“Getting there. I don’t know if I’m at the point where I’m actually ready to sleep just yet though.” He replied. “So we can still hang out for a bit.”

"Alright then. I won't be having any friends over tonight, thankfully." Arien smiled, opening the door for Rafael.

“I’m glad. I don’t really want to have to share you with someone else right now. Or realistically, I have to go hide in my room so your friends won’t do magic on me.” He chuckled softly.

Arien nodded. He smiled softly. He didn't want to be with anyone else at the moment either.
"Elliot's the only one with magic," he promised. "Like that, at least. He's also the only asshole."

“Well that’s a relief. So I only have to potentially fight one of your friends in the future.” He smiled, stepping inside and promptly going and sitting down on the couch.

"And I'll do what I can to make sure you don't have to." Arien smiled in turn, sitting next to Rafael.
"This is nice," he said softly.

He nodded in agreement, his head falling onto Arien’s shoulder with a content sigh. “Mm..I’m getting a little bit tired now.” He admitted softly.

Arien smiled softly, one arm carefully going around Rafael's back.
"I see," he said with a gentle smile.

He yawned, moving closer to the other male, just seeming to get comfortable. “Don’t let me fall or I’ll hurt you.” He grumbled.

Arien chuckled a bit.
"Okay, okay," he said softly. He smiled, his hand on the side Rafael's arm as they sat together. He had a faint blush, but he could handle this.

After a few minutes of fighting to stay awake, he finally sat up with a sigh. “I should probably just head to bed..I don’t want to fall asleep on you and stop you from being able to go do things.”

"It would be okay," Arien said. "But I understand. Good night, Rafael." Arien offered a sweet smile.

“Goodnight…” He said. He gathered his courage and took Arien’s hand again, softly kissing the top of his hand before pulling away. He stood with a small smile. “See you in the morning.”

Arien blushed deeply when Rafael kissed his hand.
"See you in the morning," he echoed, smiling just a bit.

He smiled again before calmly going to his room. Only once he got there did he begin to freak out. “Holy shit…” he whispered under his breath, probably repeating it several more times as he lay down on the bed.

Arien, when Rafael left, let out a shaky breath, collapsing on the couch laying down.
"Holy shit," he said himself, blushing madly. He buried his face in the decorative pillow, muffling his squeak. Oh shit, oh shit, what the hell had just happened??

Rafael stared up at the ceiling, knowing he probably wouldn’t be able to fall asleep for awhile. He was still surprised that he’d done it. He hadn’t been planning to, he just saw the opportunity and he went for it.

Arien was still having a mini freak out on the couch, face bright red. He eventually pulled his face away a little. What had come over Rafael? He stood with shaky legs, going into his own room.

But the thing that stuck in his mind the most was that Arien hadn’t pulled away. So maybe..just maybe…he might actually have a chance? He smiled softly at the thought.

Arien let out another squeak when he was in his room. He took off his mask, slipping his jacket off.
"What… why do I feel like this?" He asked his reflection in the mirror. It was translucent, like Arien wasn't entirely there, but he could still see himself.

After staring at the ceiling a bit more, Rafael decided he should at least try and get some sleep. He dragged himself out of bed, getting changed into a pair of sweatpants before laying back down, closing his eyes.

Arien had calmed down by the morning. He was in the kitchen, humming as he made some breakfast for Rafael. He was smiling gently, humming to himself. When that was done, he put the food in the oven to keep them warm. He went back out to the living room, sitting down at his piano. He began to play gently. It had been a while, and it felt good to be practicing again.
