Friend or Foe?

[stephy]

Another encouraging smile gleamed at him as Dj started to speak, “Not a problem, my dear.” Chase blinked, Looking back to the utensils and ingredients in front of him as the fox gestured. His smile faded slightly as he tried to be a bit more serious, he'd never cooked anything before and fully expected to fail miserably, but he didn't wanna mess up in front of his companion. “I happen to have the cheat for pancakes so it doesn’t take nearly as long to make as it would, should we have to make it from scratch."

Chase looked to the box of pancake mix, 'This doesn't look too difficult..' He mused silently, quickly stealing a look at Dj as he started to speak again. “First off, we have to decide how many pancakes we want. I’d say about ten all together will work just fine. Hand me the measuring cup, please Hun.” Hmm? Oh. Measuring cup? He bit his lip and looked back to the counter, setting his eyes on a glass cup with a bunch of notches and fractions. 'Oooh, there we go.' Picking it up gently he handed it to the fox with a satisfied smile, and watched as he filled it with the mix from the box and emptied it into a clear glass mixing bowl.

Quickly taking the emptied cup from the bowl to the sink, he watched as Dj started to rinse it. “We'll rinse this out the use it for the water.” This was easier then he thought, he sent a silent half sincere thanks to whoever invented pancake mix, they were deffinately saving him some trouble and embarasment. He tilted his head to the side slightly as he watched him fill the cup to the right amount, Turning around to rest his back against counter, grabbing the lip of the table with his left hand and brushing some of his hair out of his face that had managed to block his view with the other. Gazing towards the boy, he could barely manage to drag his eyes away for even a moment.

“Mix that in for me?” Oh, right, the food. He'd got lost for a moment there, entrancing as he was to him. A soft smile followed him as he pushed off the counter, his own blush coming back as he reached for the cup, being careful not to spill a drop and trying to avoid eye contact as he felt Dj's eyes trace his movements while turning and drawing the mixing bowl closer to himself. Carefully he poured the cool water into the bowl, some of the individual droplets clinging to the sides of the bowl as it splashed a tiny bit. Darnit, he did that a tad too quickly hadn't he. He bit at his lip again, At least he hadn't dropped the glass cup onto the floor.

Now to mix it, luckily Dj had left the whisk almost directly beside the bowl. He picked it up a bit more confidently, and braced the bowl with a pale hand. 'Easy as pie! ..Not that I can make pie.' He chuckled mentally, focusing on the bowl in front of him, being careful not to stir it too quickly or let the object skid on the tabletop. He wasn't doing too badly at all, this was so much less painful then he figured. 'I hope Dj thinks I'm doing a good job.' A small smile graced over his lips as he mixed it a bit quicker as he got the hang of doing so without making a mess. The boy's approval meant everything to him, he could still feel those eyes watching him, somehow he didn't mind.

Taking a soothing breath, he continued with his task. The batter was still a fair bit thick, but it was quickly starting to thin out, he was pretty sure there shouldn't be any lumps left when he was finished. Staring down into the mix he started to let his mind wander, today was going to be a bright day, if this morning was any kind of indication. Who knew he could ever be this.. comfortable, With himself, or with anybody else. After a moment He felt his partner slip past him, reaching around to turn on the griddle to his right, and stirring his mind back to reality. Heat almost immediately started to draft towards his face, and he moved back a tiny bit before being caught.

The touch of the boy's skin across his bare stomach almost made him Drop his whisk into the batter. his face turned a harsh deep red, eyes widening a bit in surprise as a small shudder went through his body. Pausing, he turned his head to the side, Dj's eyes closing as his head came to rest over his shoulder, his muscles tensing slightly before relaxing again, a small smile etching onto his face through the Deep crimson making his cheeks burn lightly. His eyes softened as his heart rate doubled, he turned back to his task, being careful to stir a bit slower as to not disturb the boy, he just looked so peaceful. He'd hate to disturb a sleeping angel.

Staring down into his concoction, he decided that it was about done. There was barely a lump to be seen, a wave of pride rolled over him as his feeling of accomplishment grew. Sure it was only pancake mix.. but it was nice to be able to help. Being needed felt wonderful, he stole another sideways look over at his fox, his face was so soft and adorable when he was relaxing like that. Dj's arms tightened into a closer hug around him midsection, his beautiful sky blue eyes opening to look warmly into his own, he felt the urge to look shyly away yet he couldn't bring himself to, they were truley hypnotizing.

“You done, Hun?” The gentle tone melted away into the moment, the soft coo of his voice was like a soft melody playing only for him. Taking a moment he casually patted the whisk against the side of the bowl, making sure it wasn't going to mess up the counter as he set it down, He looked in front of him again, a delicate smile still painted over his lips as he dipped his head a bit, savoring the moment.

"Yeah, I.." His voice faded as Dj pressed a soft kiss to the side of his neck, a quiet moan escaped as he bit his bottom lip through the smile. "I.. think so.." He looked to the side, The boy had already closed his eyes against his shoulder once again. A longing feeling clawed inside his stomach as he looked at him, he had to admit it was quite tempting, if only he knew exactly what he wanted so badly.. 'More of that.' He smirked a bit, maybe his did understand a little of what he wanted.

"Sorry, I-.. Like I said, I don't know what I'm doing.. did I do alright?" Turning timidly and carefully as to not disturb him too much, he smiled innocently his eyes half open as he looked down and to the side shyly, his arms reaching up to cross around and behind his neck delicately. Hmm, this felt right. Drawing up some courage he managed to draw his eyes to look into Dj's, his cheeks burned with a renewed passion, his heart sped to an impossible rate. Letting out a soft calming breath, he held his gaze, eyes twinkling with a loving, yearning look, yet innocent as usual all the same.

After a moment his shyness forced him to look away, immediately looking to the floor as his arms fell a bit lower over DJ's shoulders, his smile brightening automatically as his canines flashed. Quite suddenly he realized what he had just done, his brain seemed to be on autopilot, the behavior surprised him.. Strange thing, love.

Love..?

OOC//: XDDDDDDD Stephy, I hope you like it! XDDDD I had a lot of fun with it, especially towards the end >3 >D XDDD

"Yeah, I..." Djakael’s faint smirk grew larger as he heard Chase’s soft moan, the younger boy seemingly forgetting his ability to speak from a moment. Heh, jackpot. Djakael would make sure to remember that Chase’s neck was sensitive so that, later on in the road, he could use it against Chase. Heh, Chase would have his trouble cut out for him if Djakael had any say in it. "I… think so…" Finished Chase after a moment, the boy coming back to himself. Quickly, he added, "Sorry, I-… Like I said, I don't know what I'm doing… did I do alright?" while turning around in Djakael’s arms to face him, the wolf’s arms rising to wrap delicately around his neck.

Djakael pulled his head back so that he could look Chase in the eye, his own sky blue orbs gentle and caring. He was amused by Chases’ blush, of course, but right now he felt more like wasting the day doing nothing rather than being active. He wouldn’t mind spending all day in bed or on the couch with Chase and sleeping. It would be nice, actually.

Slowly, Chase brought his eyes up to stare at Djakael, the forest orbs glowing with a passion Djakael had yet to see in the young wolf. It stunned the fox momentarily, Djakael’s breath hitching in his throat, but then he smiled a breathtaking smile for Chase. Chase held his gaze for a moment longer before dropping his eyes to the ground once more, his submissive behavior making the elder of the two smirk.

When Chases’ arms loosened around his neck, Djakael tightened his grip on the younger boy’s waist and pulled him closer. “You did fine, Hun. Don’t doubt yourself.” He smirked, placing a soft kiss on Chase’s forehead.

Reluctantly, Djakael pulled away from Chase, the fox remembering the breakfast he was cooking. "Sorry Hun. We don't want the food to go bad, though." He said, gently lifting Chases' chin with two fingers and giving him an amused smirk. "If you want, we can continue after breakfast. I don't mind." Smirk growing wider, Djakael gave Chase a quick kiss before pulling back completely and walking past him with the pancake batter in one hand. He stopped in front of the griddle and set to cooking the pancakes, spatula in one hand and batter in the other.

All in all, it didn't take too long for the pancakes to cook and after only a few minutes Djakael was asking Chase for a couple of plates. The requested items appeared beside the griddle after a few moments and Djakael calmly dropped a few golden brown pancakes onto one plate. More followed and soon Djakael was washing the griddle and spatula with quick, efficient hands.

He shook the excess water off of them swiftly before putting them away and turning to face Chase. He was still blushing and he looked almost dazed. Smirking darkly, Djakael slipped up to him and slid his arms around his waist, pulling the wolf close. "Chase, dear, breakfast is done. You'd better eat them now or they'll get cold. Unless, of course, you'd rather do something else...?" His smirk grew, the older man's sky eyes dancing with amusement. Ahh, Chase was so easy to embarrass.

A small chuckle slipped past Djakael's lips, his expression the definition of a troublemaker. He really was a fox, inside and out.

You tell me I'm getting better then I write crap. All your fault ALL YOUR FAULT. >[ xD }

“You did fine, Hun. Don’t doubt yourself.” His forest eyes blinked helplessly, smile fading as his rosy blush heated his face. Fingers gently lifted his chin, forcing his gaze to rest on that of sky blue, his cheeks darkening, looking completely out of it. "If you want, we can continue after breakfast. I don't mind." Dj's Smirk created a small smile of his own, Blinking once again with a haste kiss as Dj pulled away at started once again with the pancakes.

Time seemed to pass quickly, or maybe it was so slowly he didn't notice it all. His mind was frozen, momentarily at the very least, as it mulled over everything, acting completely of it's own free will. The scent of of the quickly growing stack of pancakes melted into his nose, bringing back memories of being a kid, being with his family. 'Dj's my family now,' He focused once again on his fox as he was flipping the last of their pancakes, giving him the plates when they were requested, hardly even noticing them.

Scenes from his dream flickered past his mind's eye, shaking him mentally as Dj started washing the Batter marked Kitchenware. Leaning back against the counter, he watched, silently observing Dj's from behind, his strong looking musccles flexing under his skin as he worked. A small smiled etched over his face, dissapearing a moment later. He looked so normal now, he hoped it would stay like this forever. He'd make it stay like this forever, nothing could get in the way of that. 'Calm down. Scolding himself mentally, Dj turned around as if on cue, the look in his eye one he had yet to really see, his smirk directed at him darkly.

Dj's arms pulled around his waist, all he could feel was the warmth of his skin seeping into his own body. Dj's breath on his face, his eyes looking at him in that strange way.. "Chase, dear, breakfast is done. You'd better eat them now or they'll get cold. Unless, of course, you'd rather do something else...?" Chase's blush deepened to a new level, his brain was processing the information slowly, it was all autopilot right now, everything seemed to run by itself, without his prompting. He was just a spectator, watching the game from the bleachers, watching in complete amazement at what the idiots below were doing.

He breathed out slowly but jaggedly, trying to steady his Jumping nerves. Watching his hand move curiously on it's own accord, tracing a line down Dj's chest with a strangely steady hand. He blinked at it, questioning it, feeling the muscles he was watching with his own fingers. His breath hitched in his dry throat, pulling his hand away quickly as another image flashed in his head. The blood, there was so much blood. His head jerked up to look at Dj's face, Clean, beautiful, handsome.. His eyes sparkled with strange feelings.

'Snap out of it, He's right here.. He's right here.. He's-' His eyes widened for half a second, jumping forward and pressing his mouth roughly to Dj's as they slammed shut, The force pushing them both back against the counter, Chase's hands against Dj's chest.

Autopilot.

{ SO NOT MY FAULT. You weren't expecting that huh. FUN TIEMS FOR US WOOT. Silly Teenage boys and they're silly hormones >.> And the fact that Chase thinks Dj could be dead any moment, that helps too. And the fact that he doesn't exactly understand but he sure as heck will now ;D WOOT. Lol I feel better actually, That felt like a venting post almost o-o. ENJOY REPLYING TO THAT, LUL. I left it WIDE open for you<3 ;D }

{ Ps: SO INTO CHASE AND DJ AGAIN LUL. How one Semi Ooc but not really post can change everything<3 xDD Have fun Dj. ^.~ }

[Terenzio DeVito]

OOC//: I hope you're ready to see Seme!Djakael Stephy... >DDD

BIC//:

Djakael was stunned when Chase suddenly kissed him fiercely, forcing them back against the counter, and stared at him before smiling slightly and kissing him back. 'I don't know what's gotten into you, Chase, but I think I like it.' He thought slowly, his attention on Chase as he slowly ran the tips of his fingers up the wolf's spine with one hand, the other gripping his hip tightly.

In one swift movement, Djakael spun them around so that Chase was pressed back against the counter. Holding his wolf there with his body and hand, Djakael removed his lips from Chase and dropped them to his neck. He wasted no time in nipping and kissing the expanse of sensitive skin. He barely registered the soft pants and moans he caused Chase to make, his attention solely on that of making Chase turn into a pile of mush.

Kissing his way down to the junction between Chases' neck and shoulder, Djakael bit down for a second before licking the spot softly and sucking on it. If Chase had no other hickeys, this one would definately shine bright on his pale skin. He smirked as he heard Chase gasp, trembling against him, and pressed him harder into the counter, making sure he wouldn't be able to collapse. Djakael wasn't sure if he'd be able to stop himself if they went to the ground...

Shoving that thought from his mind, he focused instead on the sounds Chase was making and looked up at him. His head was tossed back, exposing his neck fully, and he was moaning loud enough for Djakael to hear it clearly. Then what really made the fox smirk was the blazing blush that he could see even from where he was.

Pressing one last lingering kiss on Chases' collarbone, Djakael gently kissed along Chases' jawline up to his mouth, where he placed his own lips. He kissed the wolf fiercely for a long moment before letting the desire calm down. Pulling away some, Djakael pressed his forehead against his partner's and smiled at him lovingly. Chase was still panting and gasping, trying to breathe.

"Chase, love, what's wrong? I know you well enough to know that you wouldn't do something like that without good reason." He gave him a lingering kiss on the lips before pulling Chase away from the counter and practically carrying him over to the couch in the living room. Leaning against the arm of the couch, he pulled Chase into his arm and rested his head on his shoulder. He had no problem giving Chase the time he needed to get his body back under control. Absentmindedly, he pressed a soft, loving kiss to the back of his neck, gently nuzzling the silky hair there.

{ OH GOD. OH GOD. OH GODD. -Unstoppable nosebleed- OH GODDDD D:! -Runs around in circles with blood streaming from her nose-. OH MY GODDDD! >////< D: }

His entire body was on fire, Shivers going up his spine with every touch, Currents of electricity making each nerve and sensation send individual sparks to his sensitive skin. They switched sides quickly, easily giving dominance to the elder boy, The Fox's body pressed so tightly against his own that he couldn't move even if he tried to, even if he WANTED to.

Dj's mouth moved firm against his lips, but it was trailing, down past his chin, down close to his throat, each making his breath quicken, already panting from his mouth's release, Oxygen feeling increasingly hard to come by. Eyes opening quickly, he gasped, followed by a soft moan, as he felt Dj's teeth nip at the base of his pale neck, his tongue caressing the area almost immediately, the pressure making his body go berserk. His head rolled back as he gasped for air, it was impossible to find now.

Dj's body pressed even harder against his own shaking form, so much so that it almost hurt now. But pain wasn't registering in the least, only this intense new sensation that he wanted more of. His face was burning up, as were a few other areas over his body, the deep blush making him look almost sun burnt with the contrast. The sound coming from his mouth was being turned out, he could hear his partner's breathe as he started trailing back up towards his hungry lips.

They collided again, like thunder crashing down, before they started to pull apart. A small growl-like moan rumbled from inside his chest, he didn't want it to stop, but he couldn't breathe, and he couldn't think either. His eyes slowly went back into focus, his view of the ceiling being replaced with Dj's loving blue orbs, looking at him with a curious yet pleased expression. He tried to bring himself to smile but he wasn't completely in control yet. All he could bring himself to do was try to breathe, The spot on his neck still making his voice drag out at irregular intervals.

"Chase, love, what's wrong? I know you well enough to know that you wouldn't do something like that without good reason." He blinked, probably for the first time in several minutes as he started to get lead away. He couldn't feel his feet moving, or at the very least his attention wasn't on his feet. His bare chest fell heavily up and down, the air around him was so cold before all this, but now it felt like a furnace. His head fell against Dj's shoulder as he found himself sitting against him on the familiar couch, the Fox nuzzling as the back of his neck as he tried to find himself again.

Did he know what just happened? It was kind of a blur, it felt almost as if this was another episode, except.. This was him. Thoughts started to come back slowly, dripping into his concious mind like honey. 'I did that, flashes of Dj's face, the sound of his own inescapeable moaning, his body pressed against his, that first jump pushing his fox against the kitchen counter. 'Me. How badly he wanted more, the twisting in his stomach was longing for it, his heart pleaded for it, his lips and his tongue thirsted for it.. No, this was unlike him, but this was so new, so wonderful, so completely and utterly amazing. More, he needed so much more.

His wide eyes started to wain, falling half closed as he managed to catch some of his scattered breath, his blush lessening to a comfortable level, the still air around them starting to help cool him off rather then keep the flames lit. Dj had asked him a question, The thought ocured to him after several minutes of enjoying the feel of the boy against him.

'What's wrong?' It seemed such an odd question, after all of that. But then.. He remembered the blood that spilled over Dj's body. The feeling of helplessness, knowing something could.. But didn't.. yet, it might.. Yes, there was something wrong. But he already knew, why should he bring it up again. Not after that, everything was fine, and there couldn't be a more happy feeling, if only it wasn't starting to coat with this feeling of horribly desperation.

Moving away from Dj's face against his neck, he rested himself more comfortable against his side, closing his eyes as his head rested about halfway between Dj's shoulder and elbow, promising himself not to bring it up. Worrying the boy wasn't going to make things better, he should just keep it to himself for once, he hadn't been doing a very good job of that since he got here anyways.

"I'-" He cleared his throat, his voice cracking strangely as he managed to calm it down again. "I'm fine,- actually." He smiled lightly, fidgeting as he got a bit more comfortable. Sighing, he drift back into memories of not even moments ago, his midnight black hair covered his face lazily. Savoring the emotions, take away the negativity. Going back to that wonderful place. He wondered if he'd be able to travel there again.

[Terenzio DeVito]

Djakael loosened his grip on Chase slightly as the wolf shifted on his lap, twisting to a more comfortable position apparently. He didn't say anything, just sat there and let Chase do as he pleased. After all, Chase would just settle down wouldn't he? So why did it matter if he made himself comfortable before he did? It didn't.

"I-" Chase's voice broke and, with a slight scowl, he cleared his throat and spoke again. "I'm fine,-actually." He offered Djakael a smile, one that the fox quickly returned. He leaned back against the arm of the couch more, relaxing happily.

"You sure?" He asked gently, his voice low and husky as he didn't feel like talking loudly. "You do realize that you can always talk to me about anything, right? I mean, I know everyone says that but you do know I mean it, right? I'll always listen. Good, bad, I'll listen." He said, his head tilting to the side slightly as he craned his neck to look Chase in the eye. Some of his hair fell into his eyes, hiding parts of his loving blue eyes. Closing his eyes momentarily, he gave Chase a bright smile before opening his eyes once more and gently pulling Chase close enough so that he could kiss his cheek. "So. Anything nice you'd like to tell me?" He smirked at this, his eyes glinting darkly, and he nuzzled Chases' neck suggestively. "Anything at all... Have I done anything lately that you really liked? Or maybe even loved?" He nipped Chases' neck, just barely grazing the edges of his teeth against the wolfs' skin.

[stephy]

"You sure? You do realize that you can always talk to me about anything, right?" Chase blinked, his cheeks still filled with his light pink tone. He'd long since calmed down, but that blush wasn't leaving for quite a while. Of course he knew I could talk to Dj. That was never the problem. Afterall, Dj knew more about him then anyone else did, At least anyone alive. His heart sank a little in his chest at that thought, and so he quickly pushed it away. "I'll always listen. Good, bad, I'll listen." He nodded a little bit passively, but really it only looked like he was trying to get more comfy, as he blinked up into Dj's eyes.

"So. Anything nice you'd like to tell me?" His blush flared a little at the soft kiss to his cheek, as he adjusted himself so he could sit up better while still leaning against the other comfortingly. His eyes fell a little, eyelids dropping partially closed as he gazed out ahead of him, past Dj at the carpet beyond. Even so, a gentle smile tugged at his lips. This wasn't fair, Dj couldn't be so open and wonderful while he tried to hide his living nightmare. But he couldn't let him worry. Couldn't force something so stupid as this on him and expect things to be fine without him feeling insanely guilty..

"Anything at all... Have I done anything lately that you really liked? Or even loved?" He groaned a little as automatic responce as Dj's teeth nibbled over the sensitive skin, however light it was. He braught his eyes back into focus, his cheeks darkening slightly. "Well there's that." He said a little daringly, closer to a whisper as he moved away from those lips a little self-conciously. Not that he wanted him to stop. Or.. No, he didn't want him to stop. It was a giddy feeling, this new emotion, he decided that he'd like to keep it. But it couldn't be long lived right now. He sighed lightly, How was he supposed to keep anything at all to himself after something like that? Not fair.

"..Well." He said a little hesitantly, biting at his lip a little in the process. How did he put this without sounding Crazy? Well he'd told Dj a lot worse and he'd come out okay so maybe.. He was quiet for a minute. Everytime he tried to open his mouth to speak, the words wouldn't come out. His mind was stalling. 'He'll listen.' He repeated gently to himself, trying to coax out the words without a stab of fear going through his chest. Not fairrr. Maybe he just worried too much, It wasn't a big deal. He could already feel a small stab of guilt ready to pierce at him. Okay, that's enough.

"You died." He started simply, his voice quieting to a dangerous level. He felt that stab the moment the first words were out of his mouth, but it was softening. Rip off the bandage quick, and all that. He gulped roughly. "In my nightmare.. There was that Panther, and I tried to get to you but.." He shook his head, pulling away from Dj's soft embrace to sit back against the couch. He was afraid to meet his eyes now. He wasn't sure if he'd see Sympathy, or maybe just disbelief that he could even think something like that.. He couldn't imagine, and didn't want to. His lips twitched up for a second sadly. "I couldn't save you. There was too much blood.." He trailed off as his eyes widened a bit in responce to his mind's image, replaying the vivid scene in his head.

[Terenzio DeVito]

"You died." Djakael blinked in surprise, his shock evident on his face. "In my nightmare.. There was that Panther, and I tried to get to you but..." He paused and Djakael slowly ran one of his hands up and down Chases' arms, trying to comfort him. "I couldn't save you. There was too much blood..." Djakael pulled Chase into him, humming a soft tune in the back of his throat.

"I'm sorry, Chase. That's a terrible thing to have to dream. But look, I'm here. I'm alive. I'm healthy. And I love you and we're here to take care of each other. As long as I have you to take care of, I'm not going to go anywhere." He said slowly, grabbing Chases' chin and gently tugging his face to stare at his. Djakael gave him a bright, loving smile and pressed his lips to Chases' gently, slowly adding more pressure. He pulled back after a few long seconds and pressed his forehead against his wolf's, his sky eyes open and staring into Chases' forest orbs. "So don't worry about that nightmare. That's all it was; a nightmare. I'm here and I don't plan on going anywhere, even if some panther wants me to. That panther will just have to deal." He said, giving Chase a cocky smirk. He kissed him once more, a soft, slow touching of the lips. "I love you, Chase," He murmured into the kiss.

[stephy]

He didn't fight as Dj pulled the wolf against himself, Closing his eyes to that soft tune that he was sure was going to become his lullaby. "I'm sorry, Chase." He tried to empty his mind of the images, those eyes.. the blood.. Just let it numb. But Dj shouldn't be appologizing, shouldn't be feeling guilty.. "That's a terrible thing to have to dream. But look, I'm here. I'm alive. I'm healthy." He knew that. It didn't change anything, but it was true none the less. Afterall it was the same reasoning he'd been pushing at himself since the nightmare had originally happened. "And I love you and we're here to take care of each other. As long as I have you to take care of, I'm not going to go anywhere."

His heart gave a strong twinge at the word, the demons dissapearing suddenly in a shocked kind of awe. His lips twitched up in a soft kind of surprised smile, his eyes still closed lightly. 'He loves me?' Was he crazy or did he really just say that? This was the first time Dj had said that. At least directly. There was little things but.. Never a straight 'I love you.'. Maybe he was delirious and being a little over dramatic, but just those few words.. kind of helped. Who knew three words so simple could ease his jumping nerves.

"I love you, Chase." His eyes blinked open at the soft kiss, lashes fluttering as he looked up into Dj's Sky blue. He cuddled closer against him, burrying his head against Dj's warm chest with a gentle exhale. "I love you, too.." He spoke quietly as he smile widened, with the declaration. Now this is what life should be. For the moment, nightmares slipped away. His blush lightened until it was just a pretty light pink brushed over, complimenting his pale cheeks.

"Hmm," He hummed into Dj's chest, breathing light. "I know, it wasn't real. I told you I was okay." Which was a lie, he was starting to be okay now, but before.. most deffinately not okay. But with the smile still stuck stupidly on his face in reaction, Dj would have to believe those words. And so would he. He was just hullucinating the blood, it was just his brain trying to panic him. Let it go. Just because everyone else he'd loved was gone, didn't mean he should associate that with Dj. Just let it go.

[Terenzio DeVito]

Djakael wasn't very surprised when Chase cuddled further into him, his head tucking under his chin as he let out a sigh, happy sigh. "I love you, too..." He murmured, Djakael smiling a bright, goofy smile into his wolfs' hair.

He could faintly see the cute, pale pink blush that complimented Chase as it dusted across his cheeks and he smiled again, this time softer. Djakael didn't know what he'd do if Chase ever stopped blushing because of him. 'I'd probably cry,' he thought calmly, knowing it was probably true. He probably would cry if Chase ever stopped blushing because of him.

"Hmmm," Chase hummed softly, his voice light. "I know, it wasn't real. I told you I was okay." He said, Djakael nodding against his head.

"Good." Murmured the fox, Djakael yawning widely after a second and rubbing at his sky eyes. He was getting too comfortable; he was starting to get sleepy. "What do you say we eat breakfast and go back to sleep? We can always go out for dinner later with Trinell, if we see her." He suggested, pulling back a little to look at Chase and smile softly. If Chase wanted to do something else Djakael would do it with him but he'd be happiest if they could just go back to bed after they ate and chill. Like he had wanted to do earlier.

"If you want to do something else though, let me know. I won't mind." Djakael chuckled, his usual seductive tone gone in favor of a sleepily amused sound.
