âAttractive doesnât even begin to cover the way I would describe you,â Rhian blurted out without thinking. âBut, yeah, I guess that is a good point.â He said, weakly, in an attempt to salvage his embarrassing moment but nothing seemed to be working for him. Sadly he wasnât able to show that him being in this form, his own skin, meant that he was genuinely attracted to Erebus; sexually and in general. This was his most vulnerable state after all, he didnât like to let just anyone see him like this. âItâs notâ Itâs not that,â he finally admitted as he let out a heavy breath, âI justâ I feel like I canât hide like this, I canât create the perfect personality, Iâm justâ me; and, in my experience, thatâs never enoughâ Iâm sorry, Iâm ruining the mood arenât I? Flirting was never really my forte, but even this is turning out worse than I usually fare.â
Erebus smirked at the compliment and reached over to run his fingers through the maleâs hair. âThank you.. And just so you know.. you are much more than just attractive to me.â The god hummed in thought at the maleâs comment and shook his head as his hand dropped from the shifterâs hair. âJust you?â he asked dubiously, moving to cup Rhianâs jaw instead and pulling him close so the male was forced to meet his gaze. âAnd what the hell is wrong with you, hm?â he challenged â--I think you are funny and I enjoy your company. If other people donât.. fuck them. Probably werenât worth your time to begin with.â He explained before running a thumb over the maleâs bottom lip and smiling at him. âI actually enjoy seeing you like this, flustered and vulnerable, I mean. So clearly I do not mind at all.âÂ
