Cameron paused. "Yeah, but…" he trailed off, shaking his head a little. "I still shouldn't have come into your room without permission." he looked at Calixto and wished…wished he could help this male heal after everything that had been done to him. He swallowed. "That's the part I don't think should happen again."
"That's the part that matters. That you apologised. I can't say that many people have done that, so I appreciate it," Calixto replied with a light smile. His eyes seemed a bit saddened though. "I think… I'll stay another night. As long as you aren't completely drunk this time, you can come back," he said, not quite thinking. He was looking away from Cameron at the wall now.
Cameron blinked slowly. "I'm…not sure what you're asking for." he replied slowly. "I er…" he fidgeted for a moment. "Are you asking for…what I usually do if I'm in someone's room? Or…?" he trailed off, studying Calixto and not sure what the other male wanted.
Cal felt his cheeks flush slightly but looked back to Cameron quickly. "No. I'm saying if you need an excuse out of doing… that… I won't mind if you come in here," Calixto explained. What was it with humans, so interested in sex? For a Mirro, he always thought of that sort of thing to be done to the one person you truly love. After several years of courting as well.
(Cam: you… want some time in bed?)
(Cal: I MEANT TO TALK)
(Cam: Pillow talk?)
(Cal: DUDE NO)
(i feel this is the energy of this rp lol)
(Lol hahaha so far, yes lmao)
Cameron laughed a little. "Oh, alright." he replied with a smile, looking over at Calixto and smiling at him. "I need to be on my way, though. I have stuff I've got to do." he went to the door, preparing to open it.
Calixto nodded, moving to sit on the couch. Something told him he might need to evaluate everything that just happened. Watching Cameron made his mind distracted, liking the way the other's bright smile was directed to him alone. Did… did this mean he liked men? Tall men? Or was it specific to tall men who were lonely after a horrible past and somewhat broken as well? He didn't know. Perhaps it just was a nice feeling to have someone to talk to.
It was then that rationality started to hit. He was low key crushing on a Berserker who snuck into his room and had only known him for a few hours, NOT counting the 7-8 they shared in bed.
This whole ordeal was insane.
Cameron left the room after a moment, and closed the door quietly behind him. He headed downstairs, and helped with serving breakfast and with cleaning up dishes. His mind, however, kept wandering back to Calixto. Back to how the other male had reacted to the news that Cameron was a Berserker. Or…hadn't reacted? Calixto hadn't really seemed to care about that, which was…which was interesting.
Calixto sat for a moment, wondering if he should go downstairs to get something to eat. After everything that had happened though? He didn't really feel anything in his stomach aside from something missing. He had confided in someone. Someone he just met. A Berserker in disguise. Who slept with him. It was in the non-sexual way, but it was still highly uncomfortable. Despite this… the room seemed to lack a bit of warmth that the other brought. It was confusing.
(I gotta say that I did not intend for this RP to end up focusing so heavily on the sexual components, but uhm….I have zero regrets lol)
Cameron continued to work, though he was on autopilot. His mind kept dragging back to Calixto, kept remembering everything. He just hoped he wasn't going to be turned in. He hadn't trained as a Berserker since he lost Roshan. And sure, he could still fight his way out of nearly anything, but…it would be far bloodier and messier, since he hadn't done any training.
(XD it's kinda funny because Cal is kind of scarred in the relationship department and he has absolutely no clue what to do with Cameron lol)
Setting his head in his hands, Calixto groaned in frustration. What was with him? Honestly, he shouldn't have said anything to Cameron. He should have kept quiet. But now… now Cameron knew everything. He saw him hurt himself again. And the other was strangely kind and apologetic about it. It was so confusing. Humans were confusing. Running his hands through his hair, he eventually stood to his feet and left the room. He needed out of this place to think.
(lol meanwhile Cameron is like… "Bed? No? Oh. Okay.")
Cameron continued to work, humming softly as he did so. He smiled and flirted with the customers as usually, but not quite with the same energy that he normally did. He instead seemed to be on autopilot. Just…doing it because he knew he should.
Calixto quickly went down the stairs, not bothering to look in the main dining hall. He went straight out the door. As soon as the fresh air hit his face, he realized he had no idea where else to go. Shoulders slumping, he looked around. There was another bar nearby, other housing, et cetera. Frowning, he walked around the back of the inn, hoping for a ladder that night lead to the top of the building. At least there, it was less likely anyone would find him. Spotting one, he exhaled before hoisting himself up. The bottom was a few feet up so the random passerby wouldn't use it for random reasons. Cal's height gave him the advantage though. Reaching the top a minute later, he simply sat and watched the clouds pass.
(Hey, random and strange question, but do you know how I can PM someone I've already PMed before, and do it as a new PM thread, rather than using the same old one?)
Cameron continued to work. He sang when asked to, smiled and flirted and winked as people left to continue journeys or to explore, but others were staying for multiple days and headed back to their rooms. He just continued to serve food and drink, smiling.
(Go to PMs and the new conversation blank and as long as you title it something new and have them in it it will work)
(Do we skip?)
(it hasn't been working for me, though. Idk what's wrong lol)
(Sure. To when?)
(Hm, try going to their profile and do it that way or ask the other person to)
(Um I don't know lol)
(I did it! Thanks tho lol)
(Lol uhm…is Calixto staying another night, or was he planning on leaving?)
(Yeah he's staying another night because of Cameron and because he likes talking with him)
(kk cool. So maybe we should timeskip to that evening?)
(Ok)
(want me to do it, or do you want to? And should it be dinnertime, or afterwards?)
(Um I can and you pick based on what you think fits with my reply.)
The pale blue of the sky shifted into a creamy orange with swirls of yellow from the fading sun. That too changed into deep purples and magenta, and into a solid indigo.
Calixto sat on the roof still, not caring that the gentle breeze was now cold against his skin. The cold was another thing he was used to. Had been used to. Again, not that he liked it. The shadows had embraced him back then, bringing chills down his spine as they drew closer. At least there were no confining walls up here. And the sun. Oh the sun… It was beautiful. Inhaling, Cal smelt something from the bar beneath him. It was temping with the savory scent, but he didn't feel like leaving the quiet calm yet. There was also the unresolved mental conflict with Cameron. There was something in him that wanted to trust the other, but two days wasn't enough time to break his fortified walls.
Cameron was still working, whistling softly as he did. He wondered vaguely where Calixto was, but he didn't want to pry. He took a deep breath, and continued to whistle. It was about dinnertime now, and he was busy. Dinner was always the busiest time here, and that was showed by how fast Cameron and the other servers were working to keep the customers happy.
