John looked at the scars that littered Halo’s body, then the scars that covered his own from when Ojag attacked him and all his battles. “It’s not fair…” He muttered, barely more than silent, “We shouldn’t have had to go through this much…”
Halo nods and sighs. "But it still happened. at least we have each other." He says softly, kissing the other gently. He runs a hand through John's hair before setting his plate of food aside, along with his own.
John rested his forehead against Halo’s, breathing him in, “I’m happy… I’m happy I met you, Halo…” He thought back, to when he’d been stumbling into the woods. Halo had saved his life then too, back when they hadn’t even known each other.
Halo smiles and nods. "I'm glad I met you too, love." He whispers, kissing his lips sweetly. He was so happy that he had decided to go hunting for herbs that day.
John smiled at the kiss, returning with another kiss of his own. He brushed a hand through Halo’s hair lovingly and counted his breaths. “This… This is perfect…”
Halo smiles and nuzzles his shoulder, purring softly as his hair was played with. He kisses the others shoulder and sighs happily. "I love you so much, John."
“I love you too…” John murmured lovingly, moving to rest his head on Halo’s shoulder. “Can you teach me… about herbs and healing and such, later today?” He mumbled, still playing with his love’s hair.
Halo smiles a little as he sits beside the other. He looks at John and nods. "Of course, love. If you want to." He chuckles softly, kissing his lips sweetly.
I’ll still be a killer… John shook away the lingering feeling and kissed Halo back. He made a small smile, then sighed, “We should probably actually get up, love.”
Halo nods and smiles. "I need a warm shower." He laughs softly and squeezes his lovers hand. "I love you." He whispers. He was going to get married to the love of his life.
John smiled a little bit more, whispering back, “I love you too.” He punctuated the sentence with a peck on Halo’s lips, but then forced himself to swing his legs over the bed and stand up. John snagged a blanket at the touch of the chill air, stealing it off the bed as he wrapped it around himself like a cocoon.
Halo smiles giddily as he gets out of bed and stretches. He was tired still, but he knew he needed to get out of bed at some certain time. He shivers at the chilly air and sighs with relief as he relaxes.
John greedily glanced over Halo’s sculpted chest, smiling just a little bit before going to grab a set of clothing. He found a large shirt and comfortable pants and slipped into them happily, grateful for loose clothing and not having to worry and have carry a sword at his side all day. Not that he wouldn’t, of course, as he was already strapping a small dagger on his waist. Just in case.
Halo gets dressed rather quickly, ready to start the day. He stretches again, humming softly. He had decided on a baby blue shirt, with a v neck and sleeves to the elbow and black pants.
John thought Halo was fairly cute with what he was wearing, smiling a little as stretched too. So this is my new life… no more battles… Just getting up in the morning beside Halo… But that fear that had gripped him… He shook away the thought, hoping that he’d never have to feel that way again. John made his way to the door, opening it to get a fresh breath of air.
The air was crisp and cool. Halo walks beside him and takes a deep breath of air. "Winters coming soon. Firewood, healing herbs, food… Hmmm…" Halo began listing things that would be needed.
John committed the list to memory, taking a step out into the chilly outdoors, “I can go find firewood,” He said with a smile as he filled his lungs with the cool air with each breath.
Halo chuckles. "Finding firewood is all well and good, but it won't last us the winter. Chopping wood is a better option, unless we fly into town and buy some." He hums in thought.
“There’s a town?” John perked up slightly with curiousity, “Where is it?” Even though it would be hard, if the people there would be scared of their wings… “Are there… Are there more people like us there?” He asked, his wings shifting a little.
Halo chuckles. "It's a safe haven for people like us." He explains happily. He hums and kisses his cheek. He looks at the other, taking John's hand within his own.
John intertwined his fingers with Halo’s, “I want to go there…” It would be nice, finding other people like them. John wanted to know who else was part of this hidden immortal life.
Halo nods and smiles with a slight glint in his eyes. "You'll love it! We'll go once you're healed, and we can explore for a little if you want."
“My wing is taking too long to heal,” John complained, laughing a little and staring deeply into Halo’s perfect eyes. I love him… I love being with him, I love living with him…
Halo laughs softly. "Patience yeilds focus." He smiles and kisses him softly. "Just be patient. You'll heal with time." He chuckles. "For now, why don't I teach you about healing and medicine, and how herbs can do that kinda stuff?" He laughs gently.
John kissed him back, “Alright love,” He replied with a warm smile, tilting his head to the side a little, “How many herbs are around here?” John asked as he tucked himself into Halo’s side.
