Marius rolled his eyes as he listened to Evan talk, adjusting his star map while he did so. What do you mean you didn't expect me to be so quiet? I'm literally mute. He shuffled around under the blanket again, his ears drooping a bit as he grew more tired. Your sister is very dramatic, you know. She's not any easier to deal with than I am, really. She enjoys pissing me off.
I Hate You So Kiss Me(0/0) (Closed!) (Stalkers Welcome)
"I mean I appreciate you not screeching in my head all the time." He smiled and nudged Marius. "You're really sweet when you aren't complaining. And that's just my sister. She's a jester after all. It really does make me smike she hasn't changed at all. We're twins actually. So. We were quite the tricksters, though I'm always pulling her out of troublesome situations." He let out a breath and lay on his back, staring up at the sky.
I'm not sweet and I'd prefer if you didn't refer to me as such. Despite his snappy reply, Marius was still obviously being less overtly rude than usual. He hummed softly to himself as he continued working on his star map. I've got every right to be angry at often as I am, and you don't need to know why.
"I didn't ask." He said plainly. "Whether you tell me or not is up to you. I don't care anyways. That's your business." He reached over and tapped Marius's nose. "And you are sweet,but more like green apples instead of honey. I've taken quite the liking to you." (Evan should call him like Starry or some star themed nickname)
(Aww)
Marius huffed a bit and looked back down at his star map, glad that his mask hid the majority of the light flush spreading across his cheeks. I'm not sweet. He repeated, curling his tail around himself to try and keep warm. It was only getting colder as the night went on.
Evan noticed his shaking. "Do excuse me." And he pulled Marius closer. "If you'd like I can go see if Evelyn is willing to bring up more pillows and blankets,if you do not wish to be held. And. You are sweet. That's not bad. Don't worry I won't let anyone know."
I'm fine. Stop touching me. Marius half heartedly tried to push Evan away, turning his ears back a bit. He continued with his map, seeming to be almost done with it by now. The stars dangling from his hat obscured his vision a bit, but he didn't seem to care. He was used to it, after all.
Evan didn't bother removing himself, keeping an arm around him so they both could remain warm. Eventually his eyes began to droop and he gave off a yawn, snuggling his head down into his arms.
Marius eventually ended up resting his head on Evan's arm and closing his eyes. He wasn't physically able to yawn, but he was clearly tired. After a while, he drifted off to sleep, falling limp at Evan's side. He huddled closer to the other in his sleep, searching for warmth.
Evan gladly cuddled Derlik close, smiling in his sleep as he drifted off. The next morning Evan woke up to Evelyn bursting in the door and screaming. "Hey you fuckers quit banging. Breakfast is ready!"
Marius jumped at the yelling, freezing up and flattening his ears back against his head. What?! What the hell is wrong with you?! Jesus fucking Christ… He ran his fingers through his hair, exhaling shakily.
"Shush up Marius, Evans a heavy sleeper." Evan sighed and removed his arms from around Marius,and began to pack up his things. He left the blanket on Prince Prick, and got up. "Come down when you're ready. I'll save you a spot." He then grabbed his sister by the ear and began to lecture her as he dragged her down the steps.
Marius sighed and wrapped himself up in the blanket. It still smells like him… He thought to himself, flushing lightly at the thought. He shook his head to clear his mind and proceeded to pretend that he hadn't had the thought to begin with. He wrapped up his star map and made his way down the stairs, the blanket still draped over his shoulders.
Evan was busy chattering away with the mother,the father only shooting a military stone faced glare across at everything. Evelyn since she was the jester ate in the servants quarters.
Marius eventually managed to make it down the stairs, seeming pretty winded by the time he arrived. He took a quick detour to drop the blanket off in his room before heading over to eat breakfast.
(that's so puuuure) Evan waved at Marius and returned to his conversation,as he grabbed another few pieces of fruit,and laughed. It was a charming smile that filled features,making him even more charming.
Marius quietly sat beside Evan and picked up his breakfast so that he could begin teleporting it into his stomach. His magic seemed to be slower at the moment since he was still pretty sleepy from just having woken up.
(I'm drawing Marius on stream rn btw)
Evelyn came in and handed Evan a letter before tumbling away. "Hm? Oh! Mom is coming with Marianna. And is bringing Marius gifts since she couldn't make it to the party. Awesome." He smiled and tucked the letter into his pocket,and grabbed some bacon which he began to eat.
Marius kept his eyes firmly on his plate while he listened to Evan speak. Great… more of them. He said to himself, sighing softly. He finished transferring his food from his plate to his stomach and pushed it away, beginning to run his fingers through his hair to neaten it up a bit.
(remember Marius knows Crystal as a close family friend)
(Alright lol)
Evan watched this happen with silent interest,and then he stood up as he finished his food. "Darius,would you be so kind as to show me where my living quarters will be for this week?"
(I mean he's not about to admit that he enjoys anyone's company, even her and even mentally where no one would know lmao)
Marius observed Evan silently for a few seconds, considering. Fine. Follow me. He got to his feet and started walking off. He found himself nearing his own room, but shook his head ever so slightly and turned to the left to lead Evan to a room just a few rooms down from his own.
(true. Except Evan. When Darius is really tired.)
(*Marius)
Evan hoisted his knapsack and his bags which he grabbed from the front door,and smiled,setting up his things. "Thank you kindly Prince Marius." He bowed deeply. "Oh and keep the blanket, as a token of appreciation." He winked. Evan smelled of cider and ink pens and paper,with a hint of perfume and a bit of scotch.
(Darius isn't his name lol)
Mhmm. Whatever. Marius turned and retreated to his own room, where he curled up on his bed with a soft sigh. What's wrong with me…? He held the blanket close to his chest and breathed in its scent, trying to ignore the fact that he was even doing it.
(I AM TIRED OKAY)
(But
But that's not his name lmao)
