V's gentle petting drew a long purr out of Nathaniel. The soft noise rose out of his chest for a second, rising in volume a bit whenever V brushed a particularly sensitive part of his wings. He buried his red face in V's shoulder, trying to muffle the purring but unable to stop it entirely.
V smirked and brushed his hand over the wings once more "my darling creature, whats that lovely sound, hm?" he asked softly, pressing kisses to his head "beautiful angel, do you like that?"
Nathaniel blushed harder and shivered a bit, his chirpy purring becoming audible again when V continued petting him. He whined softly in protest, but he really didn't want V to stop.
V stopped momentarily and tilted his head with a smile “my love, are you alright?” He chuckled softly “adorable thing, you’re turning red.” He pressed a kiss to his cheek
Nathaniel pouted, trying to hide his face again. "So mean to me, love… why must you always make me red?"
"I don't control that, darling. That's on you." he laughed softly and rested his hand on Nathaniel's wings, gently tracing circles along the sensitive area. "I love you, I would never be mean to you." he kissed his head and watched him with a small smile
"I can't control it either…" He whined, purring louder and hiding his face again when V resumed his petting.
He lightly skimmed over the scar at the base of the wing, checking to make sure it was alright. He frowned softly at the memory and turned away, letting his hand rest on Nathaniel's wings for moment
Nathaniel shivered when V touched the scar and gripped the other's shirt tightly. "H-How's your wing?" He asked softly.
V bit his lip and shook his head “It doesn’t hurt as much anymore, only if I move it a certain way. I don’t think I’ll be able to fly anymore though.” He stood and scooped Nathaniel into his arms, bringing him to the bedroom and lying down with him.
Nathaniel nodded a bit. "Alright… guess you and I can be flightless together, hmm?" He laughed weakly and huddled up against V when they were in bed.
He chuckled softly and nodded "yeah, i guess we can." V let Nathaniel cuddle close to him before he slipped his hand beneath Nathaniel's shirt to rest on his stomach and tucked him under his chin. "no one's going to hurt you again, I promise." he murmured, nuzzling into Nathaniel's hair
Nathaniel shivered at V's cold hands and nodded a bit, clinging tightly to V. "And I promise the same, my love…"
He pressed a kiss to his head and pulled the blankets over them both for warmth. "Thank you, darling creature." he whispered, moving his hand so it rested on his back.
Nathaniel purred softly and closed his eyes, yawning a bit. "What time is it, V?" He asked, his voice quiet.
He glanced down and smiled "around 4. Are you tired already darling creature? Did all the sugar wear off finally?" he teased, pressing kisses to Nathaniel's lips and cheeks
"Mmmm… I like sugar…" Nathaniel purred sleepily. "I want more… it makes me feel so niiiice, love… do we have any…?"
He laughed softly, finding Nathaniel's current state adorable "Maybe later after dinner for dessert, darling. For now, get some sleep." he kissed his head and curled around him protectively
"Mmkay…" Nathaniel huddled a little closer to V and folded his wings, soon drifting off to sleep in the other's arms.
V genty stroked his hair away from his face "my lovely angel." he kissed his head and waited for a few moments to make sure Nathaniel was asleep before slowly getting up and rummaging through some drawers in the living room
Nathaniel huddled into the blankets for warmth when V left, purring softly in his sleep. His wings fluttered occasionally, but he was otherwise still.
V finally found the small box hidden away in the back of a drawer and Serb it down on the night stand next to the bed. He smiled softly at his angel and crawled back into bed beside him again. He pulled him close and snuggled with him, falling asleep after a few minutes
Nathaniel purred louder for a second when V hopped in bed with him again. He huddled close and fell into a deeper sleep.
V subconsciously wrapped his arms tightly around Nathaniel and shifted so that he was curled around Nathaniel
