"No you're not. You've faced some horrid events in your past." He kissed his head and pet him gently, holding him tightly. "I'll sabotage the wedding for you. I will. Set loose the doves too soon and have them attack everyone. You deserve vengeance." He leaned down and looked into his eyes and kissed his tears away gently. "I love you Marius. And if you're a monster then I must be one too for birds of a feather flock together."
I Hate You So Kiss Me(0/0) (Closed!) (Stalkers Welcome)
Marius whimpered weakly, quivering in Evan's arms. You're not a monster… I am. You deserve someone better than me… He clung tightly to Evan, wrapping his legs around the other's waist. I wish I didn't have to marry her… I won't be allowed to wear the mask during the wedding. We'll never be able to do it… she thinks I'm a freak, and she'd never kiss me when I look like this…
A light went off in his head and he asked. "Marius may…may I kiss you? You're not a monster at all. I love you very much. More then I have anyone else, you're the exact opposite of a monster. And. I have a…a theory. Of course if you don't want a kiss on the lips that's okay just…just an idea." He said this with care, staring into his lovers eyes.
Marius rubbed at his teary eyes with one fist, his ears still drooping as he considered. I… I don't really care at this point. You… uhm… you can kiss me if you want to… He sighed shakily and closed his eyes again, just slumping up against Evan's chest so the other could hold him.
Evan gulped and kissed Marius's lips gently, and slowly he felt them get warm, and become undone. But he didn't stop, pressing his lips even more onto Marius, holding him tightly as he did so, all snuggled up. He was happy that his theory was correct.
Marius could feel his lips softening a bit as Evan kissed him and he shivered a bit, melting into Evan's gentle touch. "Mm…" He pulled away after a bit, panting lightly and very flushed. He ran his thumb over his lips, trying to process what had happened.
Evan sat back and smiled hugely. "Ha yes my theory was correct. True Loves Kiss. You were handsome then and you're still handsome. You just have lips now." He kissed Marius cheek to sort of let him process it as he hugged Marius close. "I'm glad you stopped crying. I'm sorry Marianna was so terrible to you though."
Marius hugged Evan tightly, burying his face in the other's shoulder. "T-Thank you…" He whispered. His voice was weak and shaky from disuse, although crying wasn't helping his case either. "Mm…" He nuzzled against Evan, purring almost inaudibly to himself.
He pet Marius and smiled. "No need to thank me, just be happy. You're voice is so handsome love. Just like you." He grinned and kissed Marius all over his cheek and then his lips once more, then pulled Marius as close as he could. He couldn't get enough of Marius.
Marius just clung tightly to Evan, allowing the other to hold onto him. "It's… it's been years…" He murmured weakly. He coughed a bit, wincing. It was obvious that he wasn't quite used to talking yet. He hesitated for a few seconds before gently kissing Evan's cheek. He was a bit clumsy, but that wasn't surprising.
Evan blushed and smiled, kissing his cheek back. "I'm glad I was able to give you your voice back. Would you like a glass of water my love?" He asked gently, looking down with love in his eyes, as he nuzzled his lover. "Or maybe some tea?"
Marius nodded a bit as he clung to Evan, clearly tired from crying. "Y-Yeah… some… something that tastes good, preferably…" He rubbed at his tired eyes, his ears drooping. "It's been a long time since I've gotten to properly eat or drink anything either, so…"
He nodded and took off his shirt, which he tucked into Marius's arms. "I'll be right back." He got up and headed too the kitchen, and came back a mug of hot apple cider, which he handed to Marius as he headed back to the room. "Here you go my prince. Be careful, it's really hot."
Marius was hugging the shirt tightly by the time Evan returned, his cheeks lightly flushed. He glanced up at the other when he brought in the cider and held out his hands for it. Once he had it, he blew on it a bit to cool it down before beginning to sip it.
Evan smiled and put his shirt back on. "Marius? Do you think I'm strange for wearing dresses? And having more…feminine attributes?" He asked gently as he stretched a bit and lay down next to Marius. He was afraid that Marius would judge him heavily for it, or thought he was weird.
Marius shook his head a bit. "No, not really… I mean, it was strange at first since I've never seen something like that before, but… you looked happy. And it made me feel weird, but… the good kind of weird, I think…?" He coughed a bit and took a moment to regain himself before continuing to drink his cider.
"I say you blushing. You're adorable when you blush. But what do you mean good weird? Did you think I was pretty?" He asked,and for once there was fear and nervousness in his eyes and in his voice as he downcast his eyes away from Marius.
Marius flushed a bit as he considered, fidgeting with his cup. "I… I don't know…" He sighed softly. "Maybe? I-I think I liked it, at least subconsciously, I just… I don't exactly know why or what it was in particular that I liked." He yawned, exposing his sharp teeth.
Evan stared at his sharp teeth and once Marius stopped yawning he leaned in and stole another kiss. "Would you like to see me in more dresses?" He asked gently, looking at Marius with curiosity shining in his eyes, and hope.
Marius flushed harder and shrugged a bit. "I guess so… um… if that's what you want to do, of course…" He sighed, nibbling at his knuckles nervously for a couple of seconds. "How many more do you have?" He asked softly.
"A whole wardrobe. Back in Obdin people are much more open minded. But I didn't bring any. Though Marianna is always nice enough to let me borrow hers. Would you like to wear dresses Marius?" He asked looking at his lover now, meeting his eyes.
"Me? N-No, I'm perfectly content in my normal clothes…" Marius shuffled around a bit. "I like them a lot better on you than I'd like them on myself…" He finished his cider and got to his feet, stretching and yawning again. His ears twitched a bit whenever a stray hair brushed against them.
"Alright. Well thank you handsome." He pulled Marius back into his lap and peppered him with kisses. "And I think you wear your cute little star hat better than me." He grinned from ear to ear. "I love you my prince. Don't ever forget that."
Marius whined softly at the smothering of attention, pushing Evan away a bit as he tugged the brim of his hat over his red face. He grumbled softly, trying to feign annoyance. He wasn't quite ready to return the sentiment yet, but… it was there. He'd never loved anyone before, after all, so it was hard to bring himself to say it.
"Extra adorable. I know you at least care about me too. Or else I'd be dead by now." He smiled and began to pet Marius gently. "Would you like some more apple cider or anything?" He said with worry in his voice. "Or do you want me to just stay here and cuddle you?"
"I wanna stay for now… I can drink something else later." Marius buried his face in the crook of Evans neck, purring softly. "Maybe you can distract me somehow, since I can't stop thinking about Marianna… stupid bitch makes me angry…"
"Marianna makes everyone angry my love. You aren't a monster. I know monsters. My father was a monster. I have first hand experience with monsters. You're handsome is what you are. And kinda a grump but I love that about you. I love everything about you…" He then shut himself up before he started ranting forever and just held Marius close.
"I am a monster…" Marius sighed shakily. "I… I didn't have my mouth sealed for no reason, you know… if I'd never met you, it would still be sealed, and probably would forever be. Powerful magic like that… isn't used lightly."
"I think everyone has a monster in them. It's just how we use that monster that determines if we are one forever, or if we just acknowledge that it exists and move on. How you use that beast. Do you let it be free and harm others? Or tame it for the betterment of those around you and turn it into a positive thing." He shrugged. "I've always been known to flirt with danger anyways."
Marius buried his face in Evan's shoulder and gripped him tightly. "Well, I used to let it control me, but then I had no choice when my mouth was sealed…" He nuzzled into Evan's neck. "I was definitely a monster when I was younger. It was s lot of effort to hush everything up…"
