"It caused you a lot of trouble too," Arien pointed out. "We were both hurt, but it's okay now. We're back together, and Elliott won't be able to come within a hundred feet of you without having to deal with me ripping his throat out."
He nodded. “Okay…” he leaned up to kiss Arien’s cheek. “I really do love you. More than anything.”
"I love you too, Raf," Arien said in turn. "More than the gods themselves." He chuckled some, hugging Rafael close.
“Oooh don’t let the gods hear you say that. You know that type of stuff makes them angry.” He laughed softly.
"Ah, let them be mad. It's not like they're going to do anything." Arien chuckled, kissing Rafael's lips. They totally hadn't tried to do anything already. Not at all.
((Oop?))
“Whatever you say darling.” He laughed, kissing him back gently, his hand going to cup Arien’s cheek.
(It latest thing was the operation, but there have been other things >:D)
Arien leaned into Rafael's hand, grinning. He let out a hum, placing a kiss to Rafael's palm.
((Broooooooooo D: stealth 100 lmao good job))
Rafael smiled, looking at the other happily, just observing the man that he loved.
(Like- you know how Elliott had a bright flash of sunlight when he teleported away? Who do think Elliott got it from :D)
Arien let out a happy sigh, basking some in Rafael's gaze.
"It's so good you can see again… I missed this."
((I-))
((internal screaming SO MUCH OF MY ANGER IS GOING INTO THE ASTRAL HATE CLUB I STG))
“I missed it too…now we can go out more too, and that’ll be fun.” He said, ruffling Arien’s hair.
(And the love of turning people into dolls and his chaotic nature? uwu)
(Plus how could we have vampires without including the moon god)
"It will be!" Arien leaned into the hair ruffling, smiling. "We'll actually have somewhere to show off our marks…"
((I FORGOT ABOUT THAT OMG-))
((I- true))
He laughed. “Yeah that’s true I suppose. If you like that sort of thing.” He said, chuckling a bit at the phrase, as if it was something he used often.
(THE GODS HAVE BEEN HERE ALL ALONG)
(You can bet the sun hates vampires with a passion ;w;)
"Quite a lot, I like to show off you're my man." Arien laughed a bit in turn, snuggling close to Rafael's bare chest.
"I want people to see your masterpiece…"
((DAMMIT I’VE BEEN BAMBOOZLED))
((Oh yeah I’d imagine so lol))
Rafael smiled, wrapping his arms around Arien, gently rubbing the vampire’s back. “Well I guess that’s a pretty good reason.”
"Mhm… and getting to spend time with you. That's most important." Arien smiled, leaning into the back rubs with a small chest rumble.
“Yeah that is pretty important…” he agreed, his heart melting at hearing the little sounds Arien was making. ‘He’s so adorable…’ Rafael thought to himself.
Arien closed his eyes, chest still rumbling as he nuzzled closer to Rafael. He was like a big cat, enjoying the affection he was being given.
Rafael jokingly moved his hand to scratch behind Arien’s ear, treating him like a cat.
Arien tilted his head into the movement, the rumbling kicking up some. He opened one eye, looking up at Rafael.
"M-Meany," he mumbled, enjoying the scratches too much to actually sound upset.
“I’m sorry you’re just so cute!” He protested. “You know if you hate it so much, I can just stop.” He pointed out.
"Noooo~" Arien whined, pressing into Rafael's hand.
“That’s what I thought.” He chuckled, continuing the movement. “You know what darling? We probably need to shower. Or at least I do.”
"Mmm… But I don't wanna leave you…" Arien looked up, snuggling close.
“Mmm fine. Then we can wait until later.” He said, pressing a kiss to Arien’s forehead.
"Mmm… Good…" Arien leaned into the kiss, wrapping his arms around Rafael.
"Warm…"
“So you keep saying.” Rafael laughed softly, holding his boyfriend close. “What’d you ever do without me to heat you up all the time?”
"Freeze to death," Arien said, chuckling a bit. He nuzzled close, head tucked against Rafael's neck.
“Sounds about right.” He agreed, running his hand through Arien’s hair.
Arien leaned into the hand in his hair, smiling softly.
"Mm~.."
Rafael began to hum softly, holding Arien close to himself. After a moment he began to rub the vampire’s back gently.
