The sighting of those small, pretty ears makes his eyelids flutter a few times. Baffled, to say the least but he pushes it aside. Instead he moves to lay his arm around slim shoulders, tug the younger close to himself and let his lips ghost over his forehead. ” Don’t pout at me like that it makes me sad. ” He murmurs. ” I know, I’m an idiot and I’ve been gone and you hate me. I know. ” He mutters, lips forming a thin line. “I’m sorry. “

The cup of vanilla tea he holds between pale fingertips is still steaming hot and it warms what usually remains to be cold. Hues of celadon hold focus upon printed words and strands of black hair rest as they usually do, carefully styled into their usual position. Fancy, but not too fancy. It’s one of those calm afternoons that he rarely gets to experience, where there is no work to be done. Thus he is surprised when his door is knocked upon, quirks a brow when looking up and rising a bit hesitantly. But he’s not one to leave his door unanswered. He brings his tea, walks slowly over polished wood with his bare feet, humming a pleasant tune. He unlocks his door with the same ease as always, pushes it open with a quite plain expression, shifting to bliss a bit too quickly when laying his eyes upon the one standing before him. ” Pleasant surprise. ” He utters, stepping aside to let the younger in. 

He shakes his head, sending light strands of hair flying for a moment before he sighs. " I just hear things, since I'm the one in the leader seat these days. no thanks to you however." He's calm, as he taps nimble digits against tattooed arms. " I thought you knew yourself, what kind of person Aleksei is. " He shrugs. "I'm trying to keep our family name out of the dirt, you ungrateful rascal. If there's someone who doesn't deserve to be dragged through the dirt here, it's the person we owe our lives to. "

" No, but the other vampires in the council have begin to talk, and that's a bad sign." He states, teeth gritted for a moment. He accepts the glass of scotch poured for him, taking a sip before putting it down on the table, crossing his arms over his chest. " Aleksei is a bad associate, powerful but with a bad rumour around most parts of our society these days. Although nobody can change the fact that he can flick us all to one side with just a batting of his eyelashes. You're playing a dangerous game, Guillaume, and that's why I'm here. "

His eyelids remain slanted for a moment, as he merely lets his eyes follow the motions of the younger vampire, of the male he shares at least some of his blood with. Sadly, that is. "You're acting up I hear. " Leon states calmly, moving a few strands of hair away from his features. " And I can ask you the same thing. I hear you own someone these days, made a bargain with that Russian prude now did you?"

[ : he shakes his head again, unable to hold back his chuckle any further, thus letting the chiming sound slip from pale lips. ] Good, because I want to be stuck with you. [ : he hums before lips press against his own . ] Oh really? I'm not making you freeze? 

[ : he can't help the way he chuckles, wrinkling his nose a moment later to keep from sneezing, ] Silly. [ : he shakes his head, just a tiny bit, before placing a kiss by the corner of Luhan's lips. ] 

Yes [ ' he nods, eyelids slanting as he glances down at the younger male. ] All the attention you want. [ ' he barely has time to finish his sentence before lips meet his own and he basks in the way it makes warmth spread through his chest. ] Promise. [ ' he coos happily, eyes forming small crescents only seconds before his lips brush over Luhan's forehead. ]
