Ilya gets cute aggression over Shane?
Duh. We all know this. We love it. Well-trod ground.
Scott gets cute aggression over Kip. Majorly.
He’s still very gentle and sweet in practice… but my dude is about to start taking bites out of his boyfriend whom he adores and cannot humanly get enough of.
The restraint of this man cannot be overstated. Kip goes around without a dozen perfect imprints of Scott’s teeth around his body by dint of Scott Hunter’s sheer strength of will and the mushy gooeyness of his heart, because he doesn’t want to hurt Kip. He wants to devour him. He wants to cradle him so softly and make sure he never lands on anything uncomfortable a day in his life. He wants to give him everything he has and the very marrow in his bones. He wants to hug him and imprint the shape of Kip into his very skeleton so it can never be removed until he is long dead and his bones have turned to dust.
Scott Hunter has had nobody to pour out the contents of his heart on since he was twelve years old (or fourteen, depending on how sad you wanna’ make yourself about this). He’s like a reservoir that’s been collecting and collecting and collecting for too many years, his heart is like a dam about to burst all of its seals, but he’s trying so hard to hold it together and not unleash decades of love all at once and devastate everything and leave nothing unruined in the wake of his horrible destruction.
He doesn’t bite, he doesn’t grip too hard and bruise that beautiful skin. He keeps his hands soft, holds Kip reverently, controls himself, because he’s so, so afraid, and he has so, so much love beating against the bars on his heart to getoutgetoutgetout! Because Kip has to know… before Scott loses him, Kip has to know how important he is. How much he is beloved by Scott.
Because Scott loses people he loves. This is the constant in his life. Scott does not get family. Scott does not get a person for himself. Scott is alone and afraid of so many things.
Except… Scott connected with Kip.
And like a high-pressure leak, it’s going to get wider and wider and more intense, and Scott doesn’t want to scare Kip. He wants to be normal and sane and everything Kip deserves.
But Scott’s heart has been starved and dying for so many years now.
His heart cannot help but drive him a little insane when Kip is just sitting there in Scott’s life, content and present in the area he’s collecting in Scott’s home and his heart and his mind.
Kip is sitting on Scott’s couch reading a book, where he has spent so many quiet evenings alone… he just goes, pounce!
Kip is making himself at home in his kitchen, where nobody else has had a reason to nose around in his extremely neat cabinets… time to pick that man up and ravish him.
Kip is doing anything, anything normal at all, anything Normal Human Behavior in Scott’s house? Scott is .02 seconds away from jumping on him like an overexcited puppy whose tail is wagging the rest of him so hard his feet are skidding and he’s about to fall over.
However, Scott does have the self-control of well, himself, so he does not do these things nearly half as often as he wants to.
