Arien moved to be in front of Rafael, protective.
"What? You used to be happy when I'd surprise you like this." Elliot. He was sat on the back of the couch, legs handing down.

Rafael tensed up at hearing Elliot’s voice. What was he doing here?

"Not after the shit you pulled," Arien growled in turn. Elliot huffed a bit, getting down off the couch and moving to walk towards the two.
"Look, I didn't mean for it to get hurt-"
"His name is Rafael," Arien interrupted. He wasn't going to let Elliot call Rafael an it.

Rafael was glad that Arien was standing up for him. He didn’t say anything yet, frankly not wanting to get involved, he just wanted Elliot to leave.

Elliot huffed again.
"Fine- I didn't mean to hurt him, you were the one who let him look at the light." Arien scowled, one arm going back to hold Rafael's hand.

If Rafael could’ve rolled his eyes he would’ve, Elliot had clearly done it on purpose.

"I don't care whether you meant to or not. Get. out." Elliot growled a bit.
"So you'd throw away your closest friend for some trash human who'll be dead ina few years! And that's if you don't kill him while feeding!!"

Rafael growled a bit at that. “Don’t talk to him like that!”

Elliot glared daggers at Rafael, and then he did the unthinkable- he leapt, trying to get his hands around Rafael's neck. Arien was stunned, trying to step in and stop the witch.

Rafael, not expecting the attack, went down hard. “What the hell!” He croaked out, trying to push the other off of him.

Elliot was raging, clawing at Rafael and trying to choke the man. Arien let out a choked yell, helped to get the man off of Rafael, promptly kicking him out the door and slamming it shut.

Rafael was stuck coughing on the floor for another second after Arien had kicked Elliot out. “Jesus Christ! What the hell!”

Arien watched to make sure Elliot left, then quickly knelt by Rafael's side.
"Are you okay??" He asked, his voice concerned.

He nodded. “I’m fine..” he finally stopped coughing, having recovered his breath.

Arien carefully helped Rafael sit up, some, an arm around him.
"I'm so sorry about that," he said softly. They'd had such a good night, too…

He shook his head. “It’s fine, it’s not your fault that he showed up.”

"Still…" Arien let out a soft sigh. He hugged Rafael, holding himself close. He'd been terrified that Elliot had hurt Rafael badly again.

“I’m okay.” He reassured him, rubbing his back gently as he hugged the other. “I’m okay…”

Arien looked up at Rafael, still worried.
"I…" He felt horrible. He was the one who let Rafael get hurt…

“It’s okay, none of this is your fault, you know that right?” He asked gently, cupping Arien’s cheek.

Arien nodded just a bit. He leaned into Rafael's hand, raising his hands up to Rafael's in turn.

He smiled softly, turning and gently kissing the center of Arien’s palm. “So where were we before we were so rudely interrupted?”

Arien blushed just a bit at that. He smiled a bit, kissing Rafael's hand in turn.
"I do believe," he said, voice soft, "that I was about to give you a real answer to your question from earlier." Arien smiled, leaning forward to kiss Rafael gently on the lips.
"I love you, Rafael."

He smiled. “I love you too, Arien.” He said softly, leaning forward and kissing Arien’s forehead.

Arien beamed, coming forward to wrap his arms around Rafael again, hugging him.
"I- I'm so glad-" Arien felt like he could cry at finally hearing those words.

((you’re very very welcome for the serotonin fren :D))

Rafael smiled widely, hugging Arien gently. “You’re not gonna cry or anything right?” He asked, a little bit teasingly.

"N-no," Arien huffed. "'M not gonna cry…" Arien buried his head in Rafael's shoulder, still grinning like the sun would never come.
(Yes, this sparks joy!)

He chuckled softly. “Good..then I’d feel bad.” Rafael said, gently beginning to run his fingers through Arien’s hair.

Arien let out a happy sigh, leaning into Rafael's hand.
"Don't want you to feel bad…" he smiled. "Feels good…"
