Sebastian, after a few more moments, pulled away softly to breathe. His breath danced along Bryn's cheek as he finally spoke.
"Was that… okay?" He asked quietly, to both Bryn and himself. To Bryn to see if he had enjoyed it as much as Sebastian had. To himself to try to figure out what would happen if anyone caught them kissing, or even Sebastian simply holding Bryn like this.
Bryn whined softly when Sebastian pulled away and nodded enthusiastically when he heard the question. "It was perfect." Bryn pressed closer to Sebastian when he seemed to get lost in thought, nuzzling his cheek. He wasn't concerned about what would happen if someone saw them because, from an outside perspective, it simply looked like an owner having fun with a newly obedient toy. "What's wrong?"
Bryn had pulled Sebastian back to this moment, and Sebastian was glad to hear that Bryn seemed to enjoy it as much as Sebastian had.
"Nothing's wrong," he murmured, rubbing Bryn's back again. He leaned his head on Bryn's shoulder, sighing contentedly.
Bryn relaxed at the touch, letting out a happy little purr and starting to run his hands through Sebastian's hair. "You were thinking really loudly," he mumbled after a few seconds. "What were you thinking about?"
"It's nothing. I was just wondering… what if someone caught us? I mean, I know I wouldn't really get in trouble, but… I just don't want anything to happen to you because of this." Sebastian pulled Bryn closer subconsciously, secretly afraid someone might barge in now and try to take Bryn away. Like his father. He kept his head on Bryn's shoulder, all the while careful of Bryn's injuries.
Bryn tilted his head so he could kiss Sebastian's temple, surprised that he cared so much. He patted Sebastian's back comfortingly. "I don't think it would be too bad for me, as long as you pretended to treat me like a pet. I look pretty broken in, they'd probably just think you were messing around with a toy."
"Please don't say those words," he muttered into Bryn's shoulder. Sebastian hated them; pet, toy, broken. He didn't want to even pretend that it was true, but he couldn't think of another way to protect Bryn from other humans.
"I don't want you to be that."
Bryn froze for a second at that, looking into Sebastian's eyes searchingly and relaxing when he didn't find a single hint of dishonesty. He felt warm all over. Sebastian liked him as a person, as an individual, not as some kind of doll to do what he pleased with and throw away. "I don't want to be that either but… I think acting like it would be worth it if I also got to be yours."
Sebastian nodded after a moment.
"But only because you say it's okay…" It felt strange, now, to hear Bryn say that last sentence. Just earlier that day, Sebastian had called Bryn his, and the hatred in Bryn's eyes had all too real. Now, Bryn wanted to pretend that Sebastian had… had broken him just so no one would take Bryn away.
"But I'll hate every minute of it."
"I think that's why I'm letting you do it," Bryn murmured, more to himself than Sebastian. It was odd, this deal they were making. This morning when Sebastian wanted Bryn to be his, it was unthinkable. Right now he didn't want to be anything else. But… this morning Sebastian had wanted to crush Bryn's spirit and force him into that position. That was why it had seemed so vile, it wouldn't have been a choice. "I trust you not to take advantage."
Sebastian looked into Bryn's eyes again.
"It'll only ever be just enough to fool everyone. Never more." Sebastian felt warm, and happy, despite the subject they were discussing. Sebastian turned, his back now resting against the headboard, and put his legs up on the bed.
Bryn crawled back into his lap, legs splayed on either side of Sebastian's waist, and kissed him sweetly. He cupped Sebastian's face in his hands, feeling safe and secure in a way he hadn't for a very long time. Like he was exactly where he was supposed to be. "Promise?"
"Promise." Sebastian put one arm around Bryn's waist and the other in Bryn's hair, wanting nothing more than to keep Bryn safe. As always, his touch was gentle as he pulled Bryn in for another kiss.
Bryn kissed him back immediately, one hand resting lightly on Sebastian's chest as he leaned in for more. He was soft and pliant under Sebastian's hands, moving at the slightest tug or push.
(Quick question- about what time of day is this occurring?)
As they kissed, Sebastian slipped his hand under Bryn's shirt and softly started rubbing his back, the other hand carefully holding Bryn in the kiss, ready to pull away if Bryn wished to. He pulled Bryn closer, til their chests were just barely touching, with Sebastian tilting his head slightly.
(Hmm, probably early at night. Maybe 8 or 9?)
Bryn moaned softly and leaned forward until every part of him was pressed up against Sebastian, deepening the kiss. He unwound an arm from around his neck and pushed it up under Sebastian's shirt until it was resting over his heart. Bryn could feel it beating, fast and excited, and it made him smile.
Sebastian's grip tightened hungrily when Bryn pulled closer, and he could feel his heartbeat against Bryn's hand. This excited him more, and he pulled Bryn higher. Now, Sebastian was leaning his head back, and Bryn was the one kissing down.
Bryn's breath hitched with excitement when Sebastian's grip tightened, kissing him with renewed desperation. He kept his hand over Sebastian's heart, the sensation keeping him grounded. He would've been a mess if he didn't have something to focus on. "More," he whined, pulling away to breathe. "Touch me more."
"Okay then," Sebastian said. With that, he moved his hand from Bryn's hair and started tracing Bryn's body; his ears, his neck, down his shoulder, over his chest. His other hand explored Bryn's back, trying to reach every inch of it at once. He started to kiss Bryn too; his nose, his cheeks, his jaw.
Bryn blushed under all the attention, red from his cheekbones to the tips of his ears. Being touched like this was new but he decided rather quickly that he loved it, hardly daring to breathe in case it interrupted what Sebastian was doing. "I… um… why are you…?"
(Before this gets too far, can we keep it to cuddling and kissing for the most part, and just do time skips if it gets anymore steamy than that?)
Sebastian froze for a moment, pulling away slightly.
"I-I'm sorry, did I go to far?" Sebastian didn't want to force himself into Bryn.
(Totally)
Bryn whined when Sebastian pulled away, pressing closer with a sharp frown on his face. "No! No, it was nice. I just… um… I'm just not used to someone being so… gentle."
Sebastian signed in relief, holding Bryn closely as he started to touch him that way again.
"Well, you're going to have to get used to it," Sebastian murmured, letting his hand move slowly down Bryn's chest.
Bryn giggled, half because Sebastian's pushiness was very cute and half to release the strange feeling building up in his chest. It was strange to be touched so… so carefully. Like it really mattered if he was hurt or not. "Is that another promise?"
"It's not just a promise; it's a garauntee." Sebastian slowly trailed his lips down Bryn's jaw, pausing at the chin before returning to Bryn's lips. His hands were tracing what seemed to be every inch of Bryn's torso and head, dancing over him.
