Round and Round

"Oh! Well hello there, very tall dark and handsome. What can I call you~?" From Kiran to Micah, please!

Kiran was leaned against a tree, elbow propped against it's trunk and his hand at the side of his head. His legs were crossed, and the look he was giving this tall drink of wine was nothing less than his most charming smoulder. He gives the other time to look at him, see him, surely admire his beauty. He's glowing, sparkling a bit even-- and his light reflects in those crystals forming on the other's armor.

"Expected or not..... there are different standards cross-species, aren't there?" Artair smiles at him, though his is smaller, crooked, and so very real. He leans against him with his side to offer a closer comfort. "It is expected, but it's understandable what..... how it's different. You know? I don't want you to hold yourself to this standard. I know you're trying, and I don't want you to feel....like it isn't enough. It's enough for me, okay? I see the difference. It matters."

Lexus looks down at his Angel, his dearly beloved, and his own perfect smile softens. He nods, one of his hands raising to cup Artair's cheek as he leans down to press a soft kiss against his lips. "The feelings are... difficult. I don't know what I ever could've done to deserve someone as kind and as patient as you are, my Angel. Truly, there would never be another who could ever be so perfect for me." It's easy, with Artair. He doesn't have to worry so much, though heaven knows he does. Even now, in the arms of his beloved, he can feel that slimy ichor of bad intentions draining away and leaving behind something warm and bright in his chest.

It was almost...funny, how Lexus laced up all his insecurities with silvered words. He tries to contain them, hold them in so perfectly behind the mask, and to anyone else perhaps, it would work. His smooth, silken voice and the perfectly perfected warm smile would ease them. But Artair knows him, knows Lexus to a depth many would never reach. He can see the tells, even without his emotional radio bullshit. The way Lexus's lips twitch and his jawline sharpens just the lightest degree, or the way his smile meets his eyes, but just a little less than it should. He knows him, and he knows him even more when his feelings grind against his own chest like misaligned gears.

He knows he's caught the second Artair speaks, that 'hey' that's softer than the initial tone. Lexus swears he's losing his touch, sometimes. Artair always manages to see right through him-- but he has to remember that the other can cheat, too. And-- well, what he's saying isn't entirely true. He could keep his Angel here, if he wanted, to clip those outstretched wings. He's done it before, it's so easy--

"Laying it on a little thick there, aren't you, Romeo?" Artair says, though red is finding his cheeks in a brilliant flush. His head ducks and he rubs at his cheek. Lexus always had to say things in a way that--- sounded like that. "But uh-- thanks. For the help."

"Hardly thick enough, Angel." He coos, a wink as he affirms that the other is so very welcome.

If anyone could read the eager glee this request had filled Lexus with, it was him. But if Lexus was happy to help, then it was just icing on the cake, because he needed that help. He does roll his eyes at Lexus's velvet words, and waves a hand. "You're a charmer." He huffs. "But I'm being very for real. I wear a pair of grey jeans and a tank top like.... ninety-nine percent of the time. Or a shirt and hoodie. I don't know what looks good from a fashion standpoint, but you? You're like--- the resident expert." He gestures to all of Lexus, as if to prove his point. And it certainly does, when the man didn't know the meaning of casual wear. He was fucking dressed to the nines in a man-corset to lounge.

"As am I, my love. You make even the most common of clothes rich and luxurious once they've had the chance to caress you in your entirety. In all your divinity." The words come out almost as a purr. "I do however pride myself on my ability to stay up to date with trends, especially when it comes to fashion. I would be honored to help how I can."
