Leo giggled softly at the nose bump before he shrugged a shoulder, "I-It's okay, we don't have to if you don't want to…" He replied quietly.
A soulmate made of marble reboot ((one-on-one//closed))
Elijah smiled. His giggle was cute. "Only if you want too." He spoke softly. He had had enough excitement for the day but he wanted to please Leo.
"This isn't about me, it's about you. I-I don't want you to get scared again…" Leo replied, voice barely above a whisper but you could hear the concern in his voice.
Elijah lifted a finger a trailed it down his cheek. "But I am scared. There's nothing you can do to change that. It's just going to take me awhile to get used to this."
Leo leaned into the touch, eyes fluttering closed, "D-Do I have to move from this position i-if we do what the m-movie?”
Elijah shook his head. "No, you can stay here if you want too." He traced his jawline, over his Adams apple.
Leo swallowed and nodded a little, "O-Okay," He reached for the remote and twisted slightly in Elijah's lap so he was on his side, head resting against his chest, "Don't freak out, it's not going to hurt you."
Elijah stilled as he shifted in his lap. As Leo shifted, the strange pants he had on became a bit tight. He shifted him slightly then wrapped his arms around Leo's waist. He hid his face in his neck.
Leo blushed but didn’t protest. He flicked the TV back on and quickly put on Netflix, snuggling back into Elijah a little more.
Elijah flicked his eyes to the box then refocused his gaze back on Leo's skin. He didn't ujderstand what that thing was and his head hurt by just looking at it.
Leo hummed softly as he tried to pick a movie. Being indecisive it was kinda hard but he ended up picking the Lion King.
Elijah lazily dragged a finger over his spine and back up again. He pressed his face into his shoulder. He regretted the moment he looked up. There were things moving on the screen. They looked like animals yet they weren't. He whined quietly and his his eyes.
Leo shivered a little when he felt Elijah’s finger but when he whined, he gently took one of his hands and gave it a gentle squeeze, “If you want me to turn it off, I can…”
Elijah shook his head. "Its okay." He mumbled. He squeezed his hand back. He peeked up from his shoulder to watch the strange creatures talking. "This is sorcery! Animals can't talk!"
“It’s not real,” Leo said gently, he turned his head a little so he could look at Elijah, “It’s a kids movie, kids don’t know any better.”
Elijah leamed away from the 'movie'. He didnt like it very much. It was strange amd weird. "You your kids not see animals? Its not hard to figure put they can't speak. They are for eating or entertainment."
Leo sighed softly, turning back to the movie and pressing pause, “It’s just to entertain them,” He said quietly, “Nothing more or less…”
"That does not make any sense. They don't even act like animals, they dont even look like them, or act like them! Where is the blood? Death?" Ethan looked at him more confused than ever.
Leo turned around in Elijah’s lap again, “It’s a kids movie. We don’t show kids blood and death these days. It’ll scare them too much, okay?”
"Scare them? Is death not usual? Are tgere not public exectutions? I saw my first beheading before I was six." Elijah placed his hands on his hips, staring at him.
Leo groaned softly, putting his head in his hands before resting it against Elijah’s chest, “No. we don’t have public executions. Executions aren’t even legal nowadays.” He mumbled.
"And why not? Does your king not remind the people of his power? Executions always do the trick." Elijah stroked his hair.
Leo relaxed slightly when he stroked his hair, “We don’t have a king. We have a president, but no king.”
"What is this president? Is he not like a king? Doesn't he still need to remind them of his power? Execute enemues in front of the people and they won't cross you." Elijah said.
“Everyone just… knows he runs the country so nobody crosses him,” Leo shrugged, “Exectutions aren’t acceptable these days.”
"That seems very boring. I loved watching executions, especially when they did me wrong." Elijah said with a nod.
“People just go to prison now,” Leo muttered. He relaxed his body, removing his hands from his face, “I… I couldn’t stomach watching an execution.”
Elijah rubbed his sides soothing. "Well I suppose you donf have to worry about that since you dont have any. Though they aren't so bad, unless its a hanging and their necks don't snap. Then its just long."
Leo shivered at the thought, swallowing, “That’s just… barbaric. I’m sorry but it is, why would you want to watch that?”
"Because they deserved it. They raped, assassinated or attempted to at least. They deserved it." Elijah carressed his back.
