#hows this

it was weird, but the warm glow of the yellow lighting and the light stillness of every hallway leaving you relaxed. there didn't seem to be anything happening anywhere we'd been so far.

despite the sudden inability to leave, we were still laughing n talking, pushing each other around. thats when we found the first bedroom. both of us looking at each other with the same thought when we saw the plush bed in an other wise completely empty building. every other room had a chair or two, maybe an empty desk. one was set up like a break room n we'd spent several minutes making out while i stood between your legs with you on the counter.

it was like magnents the way we collided into one another, mouthing desperately, biting n nipping n sicking at each other. pushing and pulling n shoving at clothes to get access to hot skin, to get my hands on it.

blupjeans isn't my usual brand but faek dating sure is

Barry is fully laying in the circle of mushrooms when it happens. In his defense, mushrooms are fascinating, and he had to get a picture up close and personal. He's talking to them, too, as he tends to do, and that might have had something to do with the encounter. 

"You know, decay exists as an extant form of life! Death is an incredible process, and you, my fun little guys, are such an interesting part of it! Did you know you are unlike any other kind of life on the planet? If you're even from this planet!" He laughs, crawling a little closer for another picture. 

"You know, I wish I was from another planet, this week. There's this event I have to go to and everyone is bringing their spouses and partners, and I don't have anyone to bring. Which isn't a terrible thing! Or, it wouldn't be, if people--smart people, my friend, scientists!--didn't treat it like one. Oh, I wish I had someone to take with me…" 

"A wish is a powerful thing, friend," a smooth, lovely, enchanting voice says from behind Barry, and Barry very nearly shits himself right then and there. He sits up and turns around, and then scrambles back when he sees a humanoid being with light purple skin and slitted eyes and the most beautiful face and softest looking hair… And a sharp, toothy grin that takes up most of her face. 

"Nice to meet you, friend," she says. "Can I have your name?" 

Barry blinks, and remembers the tales his mama used to tell him, and makes a very wise, very stupid decision. 

"Sildar," he says. 

The being smiles even wider somehow. 

"Tricky, tricky. In that case, you may call me Lup. Now, I heard something about a wish." 

"Um," Barry stalls, feeling very stupid and in danger and having trouble seeing past the hearts in his eyes. "Yes." 

"I actually rather enjoy studying humans. Perhaps I can join you." 

"Really?" Barry smiles, and realizes this is dangerous, and then realizes this is an incredible research opportunity to discover something no one has properly studied before, and he laughs excitedly. "But-- and I mean no offense, of course. Are you going to go like that?"

"Is something wrong with the way I look?" Lup tilts her head to the side like a venomous bird and Barry swallows. It makes her laugh this enchanting, musical laugh he'll never get out of his head. In the blink of an eye, she shifts, somehow. It's almost like nothing changes, but standing before Barry is very much a human woman. The most beautiful woman he's ever seen. 

"There. How is that?"

"P, uh, perfect." 

"Wonderful. Now when is this event?" 

"In three days." Barey very nearly has to count on his fingers.

"Well, then, Sildar. Meet me at the edge of the forest in three days' time, and I will accompany you." She smiles, and Barry nods, wondering what he's gotten himself into.
