Arien woke up towards the end of Rafael's shower. He yawned, a bit confused until he heard the water running. Rafael had mentioned wanting to get a shower. Arien stood, stretching as he grabbed the blanket from the couch. Making his way into the kitchen, he decided to make himself some hot chocolate before sitting on the counter top.
Rafael finally got out of the shower, feeling a lot better. He toweled off his hair a bit, just enough for it to stop dripping, feeling a bit too lazy to dry it the whole way. He got dressed again, hanging the towel back up before going back to the living room.
(Question, do we ever actually get the counter scene?)
((A very good question. I don’t know XD ))
(The counter scene is literally the entire reason why I'm stalking this tbh)
((Oof well we’ll probably get it soon))
(Yay!)
(yeah, I'm working on setting it up!)
Arien looked up when Rafael came into the room, smiling softly. He look a sip of his drink, humming some.
“Hey dork.” Rafael said, walking over to him. “I see you’ve just decided that anything can be a sitting surface now?” He teased gently, poking him in the side.
"Not a dork," Arien said in turn, looking up. "I'm the Lord of Darkness. This is my throne." Arien spread out, humming as he pulled his blanket around himself.
“Uh huh sure. And the lord of darkness drinks hot chocolate with an excessive amount of sugar in it?” He replied questioningly with a chuckle. “Come on babe, get off the counter.”
"Fine," Arien said, shifting to get off. "But only because I want to. Not cause you're telling me." Arien got down, resting his head on Rafael's shoulder.
“Of course oh great lord of darkness.” He teased, ruffling Arien’s hair. “Careful not to spill your liquid sugar.”
"It's blood," Arien mumbled, knowing there was copious amounts of sugar in it. He whined a bit, pressing close.
“Even if it is, there’s definitely still a lot of sugar in there so I’m not wrong now am I.” He pointed out. But it was all lighthearted jabs, evidenced by the way Rafael planted a gentle kiss to the top of Arien’s head right afterwards.
"Nooooo…" Arien giggled some, leaning his head into the kiss. He took a sip of his drink, his lips staining a red with it.
Rafael laughed softly, wrapping his arms around Arien, making the two of them sway slowly.
Arien let out a happy hum, nuzzling a bit closer.
"I love you, dear…"
“I love you too.” He replied. “Now shh we’re having a moment.” He said jokingly, chuckling softly as they continued to sway.
Arien giggled some, pressing his face into Rafael's chest.
"Mm…"
Rafael began humming a soft tune, no doubt one of the countless violin solos he’d memorized.
Arien relaxed a bit more at Rafael's humming, just a pile of affection against his chest.
Rafael kept swaying gently, making sure Arien wasn’t slipping out of his grasp as he continued humming the melody.
Arien let out a small coo of satisfaction, pressing his forehead into Rafael with a small chest rumble.
That made Rafael smile quite a bit. He absolutely adored all the little noises that Arien made.
