Rafael let out a relaxed sigh, the smile on his face growing. “I’m so glad I can see you again….I missed your beautiful face.” Now that he said that though, he couldn’t help thinking about Elliot, wondering what had happened to the other.
"I missed this too…" Arien moved to gently kiss Rafael's forehead, holding him a touch closer. "I'm so glad you're okay." Arien was purposefully avoiding the topic of Elliot, and that he hoped the other curled up and died for all he cared.
“Me too…” he’d been worried that his vision would never come back, and it’d scared him quite a bit. If Arien didn’t want to bring up the subject, he wouldn’t either. He wasn’t particularly eager to talk about Elliot anyway.
Arien lightly kissed Rafael's cheek, tucking his head against the other. He'd been worried too. He hadn't wanted his lover to have to go through any of this… The vampire closed his eyes a moment, holding Rafael that much closer.
Rafael smiled, humming happily. He reached one hand up to mess around with Arien’s hair, gently massaging the other’s scalp. “You alright, dear?”
"I'm just really, really in love," Arien said, smiling in turn. He kissed Rafael's neck, melting into the massaging.
Rafael laughed softly, feeling himself blush. “Awww I love you too Arien.” He whispered, leaning into the other.
Arien grinned, pressing another kiss to Rafael's neck.
"Mm..~" He blushed softly as well, relaxed.
Rafael giggled softly, feeling like the luckiest man in the world at the moment. He’d really lucked out by, you know, getting kidnapped by Arien.
Lucky indeed, seeing as not all of Arien's meals got turned into takeout, or survived… he did his best, though. He was glad, too, because he couldn't live in a world without Rafael anymore. He'd found his Love.
Rafael thought of something then, and chuckled softly to himself. “You know, we haven’t even done the one thing you took me for in the first place.” He pointed out.
"Mm? I can't even remember what it was," Arien admitted, chuckling some. "What was it?"
“Really?” He laughed some more. “Well I do so I’ll tell you. It was to play music together, remember? And probably also for my gorgeous looks but you’d never admit that.” He added on teasingly.
"Oh, yeah!" Arien chuckled some. "We really do need to play together. And I'll admit all day long it's because you're a ravishing beauty." Arien smiled, moving to kiss Rafael lightly.
Rafael blushed deeply, smiling up at Arien. “How bold of you to say so. Do you like like me or something?” He teased, giggling some.
"I do believe I like like you, my dear." Arien hummed, stealing another kiss from Rafael.
Rafael laughed again, pulling Arien in closer. “Can I tell you a secret? I like like you too.” He whispered, kissing him gently.
"Well, then, count me the luckiest vampire in the world," Arien said softly, moving to kiss Rafael back.
Rafael hummed happily, hugging the other man tightly. “Then that makes me the luckiest normal guy to ever live.”
"Normal?" Arien raised an eyebrow, laughing softly. He hugged Rafael in turn, snuggling close.
“Well…relatively normal, I guess.” He explained, laughing softly.
"In comparison to everyone else," Arien agreed, laughing some. He pressed another kiss to Rafael's neck, humming.
Rafael sighed happily, his hand going back to messing with his lover’s hair. “Have you eaten yet today dear?”
"Not sure," Rafael admitted, "I think I did. I'm not hungry, after all." He hummed some, leaning into the hand in his hair.
“Okay then we’re all good.” He said, kissing the top of Arien’s head. He wanted to make sure that Arien was being taken care of as well.
Arien was glad for it, especially after the time they spent apart. The vampire hummed softly, smiling at the kiss.
"Yes, we are…"
Rafael smiled widely, resting his chin on top of Arien’s head, cradling the other in his arms some.
Arien let out a content sigh as they held each other, keeping his head tucked under Rafael's chin for now. He pressed a few kisses to the underside of Rafael's jaw, giggling.
Rafael laughed softly, swatting at Arien gently. “Leave me alone babe, you know I’m ticklish.” He pointed out.
"Mhm~" Arien hummed, chuckling some. He pointedly made sure to press more kisses to the area, arms wrapping around Rafael's waist.
