“Oh, I certainly do not mind...” With his response, Avelus firmly held Caspian close. He kept his hand pressed at the small of his back, which in turn pressed their bodies together. “It makes me... I don’t know. It’s an indescribably wonderful conflict within my chest.”

A small short inhale was Ave’s response to the poke and purring words, but when the rest happened, his chest continued to expand as he found himself growing more blissfully uneasy. “Be careful with what you’re stirring up...” He choked up, licking his canines in fluster.

“I... Have nothing to tease you about... I just... Am warnings you...” He gruffly sighed, giving the other’s back a squeeze. “You might not hear me snoring when I hold you tonight. Because I’ll be holding you for something other than sleeping.”

“Oh well it’s too late now, you’ve invited the beast.” Avelus repositioned himself to be pinned over Caspian, who was laid on his back beneath him. “And so he will feast. You...” He paused. “...May I... Show you what your love means to me?”

Noooot doing too well emotionally. I might have to take a serious break.

“The earth breathes life into me again.”

“Immortality forced upon me anew... Though he is gone.”

“I was a fool to desire ephemera.”

“Well... Which vessel shall I empty, then? Or rather, which vessel shall I fill?”

So many people hiding their emotions, wrapped up in their own sadness and sorrow.

“Andre and Caspian seem tight. Oh, and close friends too, I suppose.”

“Ah... Friday night’s been productive so far!”

Oh how rude! “You know, it’s going to take some meat on your bones for that to make the impression you want it to.”

“How incredibly bitter! It’s intoxicating. Really, do keep indulging me in these sinful acts. I’m riveted by them right to my loins.”

“You even called me a nobody! Good Lucifer my thighs~!” He is making this spectacle in public. Why? Because he’s Avelus. The emotions are feeding him. “Your gaze is so cold but— You’re so angry inside~!”

“NO~! What kind of man leaves without finishing his work~?!” Avelus really was basking in the panic now, biting softly on his own tongue and groaning. “You gonna just end it there~?! Go on, do it, bad boy. Leave me unfinished!~ The panic will get me over the edge.”

Sigh. Avelus rolls his neck and completely loses the excitement, ruffling his hair. “What a bust.”
