Adrien brushed his fingers over the tops of the wings and then moved onto the lower feathers. He stood up so he could fully feel the wings, frowning when he came across some cuts near the base. "What happened here?" He asked quietly, running his fingers gently around them.
There went his prayers. Mikhail squeaked in surprise and blushed. "Um, I'd rather not talk about it if that's okay," He muttered.
"It's fine, Dude!" Adrien said hurriedly, still gently tracing around the cuts. They looked like they hurt. Mikhail shouldn't have to be in pain. He was too nice for it. He ran his hands down Mikhail's wigs one last time before he stepped back. "If you want, I can show you my seal skin."
Mikhail internally sighed in relief. "Only if you want to, I don't want to force you or anything like that," He replied, making his wings disappear. Normally, we wouldn't show his wings to anyone, or let anyone touch them, but he didn't know why he let Adrien see them and touch them. Am I falling for him………? But he's straight isn't he? He probably is, I should just forget about it.
Adrien let out a sad little sigh when Mikhail put his wings away. They were so nice and soft. His chest started to hurt a bit more than normal, but he pushed it down and rushed into the bedroom to grab his skin. It was a big, blubbery, grey mass of skin, dappled with slightly darker grey spots. He carried it out to Mikhail. "You need to hold my hand when you're touching this or some pretty shitty things'll start happening, okay?"
"Okay then," Mikhail replied, a small smile on his face. He felt out his hand and smiled at Adrien, moving his hair out of his face.
Adrien grabbed Mikhail's hand and spread the skin out on the couch. "Okay, go for it. I can put it on if you want. I'll just turn into a seal for a little." He blushed, using his free hand to wipe hair out of his face.
"You don't have to put it on if you don't want to," Mikhail said, glancing at Adrien and saw him blushing. Why is he blushing? He thought, glancing at the skin and gently touching it.
When Mikhail touched the skin, Adrien was pleased that he wasn't feeling the need to get married to him. He was also feeling kind of odd about Mikhail touching the skin. This was something highly personal, and he had no idea why he was feeling close enough to Mikhail to let him touch the skin. "Uh, it's really no problem."
"Only if you want to, I don't want to force you if you don't want to," Mikhail said quickly. He ran his fingers along the skin, his eyes lit up as he glanced at the skin, it felt soft under his skin. "It's so soft…" He muttered.
Adrien blushed even harder when Mikhail complemented the skin. "Oh, uh, thanks." His voice was uncomfortably breathy, even for him. It was weird to be happy breathless instead of pain breathless. "And I actually feel surprisingly comfortable around you so… so yeah. It would be cool."
Mikhail glanced at him when he said the last sentence. "That's good. By the way, why is your face red?" Mikhail asked, a slightly worried look on his face.
"Oh, uh, is it? Sorry!" Adrien squeaked. Embarrassment station here he comes. Mikhail was definitely going to think he was weird. He covered his face with his free hand, trying to calm himself down.
Mikhail chuckled. "Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault your face is red," He said. The worried look that was on his face was long gone and it was replaced with a small smile. He lifted his hand from the skin and used it to gently remove Adrien's hand from his face.
"Thanks," Adrien said sheepishly. "It's just, you're kind of the first person not in my family to touch my skin." He bit his lip, hoping Mikhail would take it as the compliment it was and not think he was being weird.
(kissss not helpful)
"Well, I'm glad you trust me," Mikhail replied, smiling warmly at Adrien. He felt happy that Adrien trusted him.
(chanting kiss kiss kiss kiss)
Adrien felt the blush returning full force, so he grabbed the skin and rushed into the bathroom. "I'm going to put the skin on now, just give me a couple seconds," He yelled, throwing on the skin and turning into a seal. He then gave a large bark, alerting Mikhail that he was no longer in his human form.
(NUUUUUUUUUUUUU, THEY WERE SO CLOSE. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY)
Mikhail sighed and blushed furiously after Adrien walked into the bathroom. What was I thinking? I'm such an idiot, he probably hates me now. Great, I hate this. He thought, glancing at the bathroom door when he heard a bark. He walked over to the bathroom and opened the door, looking at Adrien in his seal form.
(Because I must torture you ;) There will be more chances in the future)
Adrien barked happily, wobbling his way out to the living room. Being a seal was a lot simpler than being a human. He flippered his way around, eventually returning to wriggle around at Mikhail's feet. He hoped Mikhail wouldn't be too nervous to touch him.
(nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, and oki den, fair enough)
Mikhail chuckled and bent down, smiling at Adrien. WHY IS HE STILL SO CUTE? THIS ISN'T GOOD, MISSION ABORT. MISSION ABORT. He gently touched Adrien, not sure if he was okay with it.
Adrien pushed his head into Mikhail's hand. He let out an encouraging bark, flopping his tail and wobbling around as best he could. As embarrassing as it was, he really liked being pet. Most people didn't want to touch him because of his condition, so he took all the interaction he could get.
The smile on his face widened and he kept petting Adrien. "Why are you still so cute…?" He muttered quietly, hoping Adrien didn't hear it.
Adrien heard Mikhail mutter something, but he couldn't quite make out what. He barked with excitement anyways, glad Mikhail was looking so happy. That was a good sign, as was the continued petting. He really liked this. In fact, he really liked Mikhail. Well shit. He really liked Mikhail.
Mikhail chuckled at the way Adrien was acting and he kept petting him.
(Srry for the one liner, i'm brain dead)
(It's fine)
Adrien was enjoying the petting and Mikhail- and wow that was weird to admit, even in his own head- but he was having a little trouble moving around in his seal form. He wobbled his way into the bathroom and shed the seal skin, hoping Mikhail wouldn't look. It was pretty grotesque to see someone peeling off their skin. When he was in human form again he walked back into the main room. "So, how'd you like it?"
