spots to kiss. (accepting) @goldentemplariumcrow

The smaller melted, a tiny mewl while he leaned against the broad frame.  Stars... had he known the other would pull this sort of reaction just from his lips alone he would’ve brokered for a longer contract.  “Lauri...” was a soft sigh, eyes fluttering closed.  The light silks were suddenly too heavy and stifling.  He longed for the feeling of the other’s rougher, scarred skin against his, abrasive and delightful.

Ooc: *cheering from the sidelines for Jackson because cute couple of the year*

He paused a moment before giving a very serious look. His hand pressed his bare chest, having paused in the middle of his workout.

Modern AU

When Xander was a toddler, he had an imaginary friend like many other children.  His friend was named Keos, and he kept him company through everything.  Keos was always there with Xander when he went to the doctor, when he was scared of the monster under the bed, one his first day of preschool, everything.

Then, Xander started drawing.  Of course, the first person he drew was Keos.  Through art, he was able to give Keos a full in-depth character.  He could give Keos whatever he wanted; friends, a girlfriend or a boyfriend, a pet, a big house.  Though Xander inevitably grew out of his imaginary friend stage, Keos remained with him through art.  He only got better as he continued drawing through elementary, intermediate, and high school.  Even into college, he continued drawing.  And Keos was there through everything, from his first high school dance to the birth of Hayley and passing of Lily, his wife.  In an odd way, Keos was one of his closest friends.

As an adult, Xander continued to make art.  Though it wasn’t his job and he worked as an elementary school teacher, his love of drawing never stopped.

Erebus is confused, mostly.  If the line weren’t so cliche, he’d have missed the point altogether, but even knowing that this is intended as flirting, he’s struggling to get his head around it.  Perhaps more so, in fact.  For a start, why does that even count as a pickup line?  And far more importantly, why is Eastwood telling him pickup lines in the first place??  Erebus is hardly known for being outgoing or attractive, or in any way desirable, let alone to an Elite that barely speaks to him.  “I...um.  Well.”  He struggles to figure out a decent reply, face pink with fluster.  His brain is running in circles, frantically trying to figure this out.  Eastwood is waiting for a reply, after all.  So...Is the question about the kiss supposed to be taken seriously?  Will a kiss lead to a possible relationship?  Isn’t Eastwood already taken?  So he’s not flirting to get a boyfriend.  What else could he-

Oh.

“I...I am surprised.” He wasn’t even sure if the other male was being serious or completely bullshitting him.  A shelter in the woods...? Why did they have to sleep out in the woods? The curious part of him was tempted to ask just that though he wasn’t sure if he would receive an honest answer or worse yet, accidentally piss off the other male with his question.

“So, do you mean that you don’t have a place to stay...?” The other male sounded as though he had a limited amount of funds and clearly, he didn’t have a house or even an apartment to stay in - if he had then staying in the woods would be completely unnecessary.

Galahad had been watching the other Elite Fighter in shooting pratice. He had seen the scores but never before had the opportunity to see for real what the other was capable of.  He waited until everyone was gone to approach the other and congratulate him for his talents and even offer a few tips for him. After all, if he couldn't trully fight anymore, at least he could pass some knowleadge down to another one with potential.

He should have made more noise apparently, considering how Virgil reacted to hearing his voice. "At ease, there are no coltreons here to shoot." Galahad said before allowing the tiniest of the smiles to appear on his lips.
