Jules walked into her room, her mysterious roommate was awake. "So..I'm Jules, you never said what your name was." She walked over to her bed and sat down. Tracing her fingers up and down her arm she looked anywhere but the guy sitting silently across from her.
(it's all good)
Kaz shuddered slightly at the feeling of Vaughn's lips on his tattooed shoulder. "Stop that," he mumbled, his face turning red slightly as he shuffled a little in place
“I thought you liked it,” Vaughn said, glancing up at Kaz with a frown. He did stop, though, his lips hovering above Kaz’s shoulder. His arm gripped tighter around Kaz’s middle, keeping him in place.
"I do like it, it's just, um…" Kaz trailed off, his face turning red from embarrassment. He went to move again but Vaughn's hold kept him in place. "My tattoo tends to be sort of sensitive," he admited
Vaughn smiled slightly, brows raising. “That’s what’s going on here?” He asked, fingers rubbing comforting circles on Kaz’s waist. “If you really want me too, I’ll stop. But there’s no need to feel embarrassed.”
Kaz said nothing, not moving as he turned to bury his face in Vaughn's neck. He didn't really mind if Vaughn kissed at the spot or not, he just was a little embarrassed was all
Vaughn ran a hand through Kaz’s curls in a soothing manner. He tilted his head to press kisses lightly against the skin on Kaz’s shoulder. If this was such a sensitive spot, he would have to concentrate on it more often.
Kaz bit his lip, his face getting a little red again as the faint touches caused him to shudder slightly. The hand in his hair didn't help either, and he buried his face further into Vaughn's chest to try and hide his blush
Vaughn chuckled quietly when Kaz nuzzled against him. “You’re precious when you get flustered,” he mumbled, continuing to slowly kiss at the skin on his shoulder. Once or twice, though, he nipped softly at the sensitive skin to see how Kaz would react.
Kaz made a small noise despite biting his lip at the feeling of Vaughn on his shoulder. "Shut up," he grumbled, though there was no real bite in his words. His high was beginning to fade, but his bones definitely hurt a lot less
Vaughn laughed a bit more at the sound of Kaz’s voice. He rolled over, now straddling Kaz’s waist. He kissed a bit more at Kaz’s shoulder, smiling against the skin.
Kaz shuddered softly, biting the inside of his lip as he tried not to look at Vaughn. He covered his red face with one arm, resisting the urge to squirm underneath Vaughn
(going into stalk mode lol)
(I've been in stalk mode. lol)
(well I mean if everyone's here we can move on to the mutation stuff)
(Sweet.)
(We're still missing @Ca1iCa1)
(And I have to go in a couple minutes)
(I’m good for doing mutation stuff whenever)
Vaughn’s brows raised as he paused, sitting up a bit to look down at Kaz. “What is it? You don’t have to hide from me,” he mumbled, rubbing at the arm that Kaz was using to cover his face with.
"It's just-" Kaz was cut off as the door opened, a scientist flanked by two guards walking in. They raised a brow at the two of them, wheeling a cart in as they moved off to the side.
"I'm here for your radiation treatment. Nothing big, just a few pills and a checkup is all," they said, fumbling with the tray as they rummaged through a few neat boxes. "It looks like someone's getting their twenty bucks, too," the added below their breath
Vaughn quickly rolled off of Kaz when the scientists came in, jaw clenching tightly. Radiation treatment using pills? That was… strange. He sat up, posture tense as he watched the scientists with a sharp gaze.
The scientist walked over to them with two identical trays, one labeled Weathers and one labeled Finley. They set them off to the side, looking up at the two on the bed. "Who wants to-"
"Me. I'll go first," Kaz volunteered before the scientist could even finish speaking. They raised a brow but said nothing, turning their back to ready Kaz's tray
Vaughn frowned softly, brow furrowed. “Why so eager?” He mumbled softly to Kaz, leaning closer to be better heard by the other. It was strange to him. Kaz must have something that he’s planning on doing.
"Because I refuse to let you do this first and watch you die on the floor if something happens," Kaz mumbled before he was forced to stand up by one of the guards. The scientist took the bandages off his neck, frowning at the discolored skin.
"Looks like you're fully integrated. We're going to give you an activator and then you'll have the pills to take." They held a large syringe full of a clear liquid in their hand, and Kaz's eyes grew wide. Stay strong for Vaughn, Kaz. You don't want to thrash about and end up hurting him, do you? his mind teased. Kaz held out his arm, looking away and closing his eyes as he was injected. The scientist set the used syringe on the tray before grabbing two neon green pills and a cup of water. They handed them to Kaz, and he glared at them before taking them quickly
Vaughn’s eyes narrowed sharply as he watched. He didn’t like that the needle was making Kaz seem upset. Didn’t like that it hurt him. He gave the guards a dangerous look, hinting that if he was touched, the guard would regret it. His eyes flicked to where the things for him were, and he looked extremely wary.
Kaz sat down back on the bed, glaring down at the floor. The guard didn't touch Vaughn, but the scientist grabbed his tray. "Okay, Vaughn. Your turn," they said, and Kaz reached over to give Vaughn's hand a quick squeeze
Vaughn got up slowly, glancing down at Kaz. He stood still, but his body was stiff and tense. He clenched his jaw, waiting for the needle. He may get scolded for not having any bandages on, but he would say fuck off to that.
The scientist checked the discoloration on Vaughn's neck before taking his arm gingerly and injecting him with the clear fluid. They set the needle on the tray before taking two more pills and handing them to Vaughn with a cup of water. "Take those and I'll be out of your hair," they said, gulping as Kaz shot them a dangerous look
Vaughn took the pills and put them into his mouth, swallowing them with water. He sat back down next to Kaz, jaw clenched. He rested a hand over one of Kaz’s, gripping it tightly.
The scientist set the cup back on the cart, wheeling it out as the guards left. Kaz breathed a sigh of relief as the door clicked closed, squeezing Vaughn's hand gently as he leaned against his side. "Well, hey. That wasn't too bad, I guess," he mumbled
