"I know, which means I shouldn't have reacted like that. I just…" Vien trailed off, hugging the dragon closer. Said dragon gave a small coo before looking to Vin
"I know, which means I shouldn't have reacted like that. I just…" Vien trailed off, hugging the dragon closer. Said dragon gave a small coo before looking to Vin
Vin decided that stained clothes wasn't the issue and hugged Vien close. "It's alright, I don't mind. I get it a lot worse." He kissed Vien's forehead, which left a little smudge of black.
Vien leaned into the hug, a small sniffle escaping him. "I…Things have happened before, and I was just scared," he tried to explain while the dragon in his lap wormed in an attempted to somehow hug them both
Vin squeezed him and kissed his cheek. "I know. I understand, but nothing would've happened. You didn't know, and I don't blame you."
Vien nodded, reaching up to rub at his eyes in an attempt to keep from breaking down. "Thank y-you," he stammered, foot twitching as he stammered
Vin squeezed him closer and put his hand on the side of his head, gently rubbing the side of it and humming quietly.
Vien let his head fall into the crook of Vin's neck, still sniffling a bit as he struggled to keep himself together. "I'm sorry for d-doubting you."
"It's okay…" He crooned gently. "It's okay…"
Vien reached a hand up, wiping at one of his eyes. He took a deep breath, doing his best to stop from breaking down
Vin rubbed Vien's head. "You can cry if it helps you feel better. I don't care."
"But I care," Vien said, his voice quiet and beginning to sound choked. The dragon in his lap cooed sadly, worming its way between them to nuzzle Vien's face
"Love, I don't care if you cry on me. But if you care, I can leave and maybe get you something to eat. Ice cream?" Vin pulled away a little and looked down at him, feeling concerned.
Vien felt torn. He wanted Vin to stay, but at the same time he didn't want Vin to have to see him when he cried. He wasn't exactly a pretty crier, either. "Ice cream is g-good," he eventually managed
"Okay. I'll go get it." He ran his hand along his face and gently kissed him.
Vien kissed him back for a moment, his grip on the dragon tightening. It wiggled in his lap, upset that Vien was feeling bad
Vin noticed and relaxed back into Vien. "I'll stay for a little while." He wrapped his arms around Vien and leaned his face into his hair.
Vien sniffled, hating the way his tics were growing worse. And in front of Vin, of all people. He leaned into Vin's hold, trying and failing to suppress the twitches
Vin's arms fell to Vien's waist and he pulled him closer, inhaling deeply as the ashy-black disappeared from his body. He shut his eyes and enjoyed the smell of Vien's hair.
Vien reached a hand up, index finger twitching as he wiped at one of his eyes. "I'm s-sorry for bothering you like this," he murmured, his gaze fixed on the floor beneath them
Vin pulled Vien's hand down and wiped his tears for him. "It's alright. It's what lovers are supposed to do, right?"
"Is it?" Vien asked. He wasn't even being sarcastic, he genuinely didn't know. All his previous relationships had ended badly, so he wasn't really sure what a good relationship was anymore
Vin pulled Vien's arms up and hugged his chest, nestling his head into his neck. "I think so." He glanced down at the dragon and slowly wrapped his legs around Vien's waist, making sure he didn't dislodge the dragon.
The dragon squinted judgmentally at Vin before moving out of Vien's lap and next to his side. Vien slowly wrapped his arms around Vin, holding him close
Vin squeezed him gently and murmured an apology to the dragon. He rested his face on Vien's shoulder and sighed.
Vien took a deep breath, giving Vin's body a small squeeze. "Thank you," he murmured softly, and the dragon tittered happily
