I Hate You So Kiss Me(0/0) (Closed!) (Stalkers Welcome)

"That's okay. It's why I asked. And do know, I will ask again. Another question. Would you like to go on a picnic with me tomorrow evening? We could watch the sunset, and enjoy a good glass of wine. I'd love to continue to get to know you." He nuzzled into Marius, a happy glow too his face even if his kiss request had been denied. "Actually. So I don't annoy you with my kisses. When you are ready, if you ever are, ask me. I will of course be more then happy to comply."

Marius glanced up at Evan at the offer, still obviously a bit frazzled. Oh! Um… yeah, sure. That's fine, I… I can't really enjoy the taste of wine or anything, but I can technically get drunk, so… He huddled closer to Evan with a shaky sigh, keeping his collar up for now.

"Right I apologize. I forgot. Then, I'll let you choose the drinks. Would you like to fall asleep in my arms again rosy cheeks, or retire to your room? Or. Would you rather fall asleep in each others arms in my room, for if it was in your room it would be suspicious I think." He nodded, unfurling from around Marius a bit. "We could sleep up here but honestly it made my back hurt a bit when I woke up the next morning. I'd prefer a bed."

No, no… I don't mind doing wine. I won't be able to taste anything we pick, so it honestly doesn't matter. Marius shrugged a bit as he rested his head on Evan's shoulder, flushing harder at the nickname and the suggestions. Your room, probably… maybe we can lock the door so your sister doesn't barge in.

"Would you mind helping me gather our items then?" He asked as he scooter Marius off, and then wrapped him up in the one blanket, before putting some things in his bag. Both of the unfinished apples, and he relit the lantern, looking back at Marius a bit.

Marius reluctantly got up and started gathering the things that Evan hadn't gotten. He wrapped the blanket more tightly around his shoulders and, once he was finished gathering everything, held his arms up to Evan to be carried.

Evan smiled and picked him up. "Am I going to be spending my whole week carrying you handsome? Not that I mind or anything. Just curious."

Mm… I dunno. It's easier for me to get up and down the stairs this way. Marius shrugged a bit and rested his head back on Evan's shoulder.

"Geeze not even gonna get mad at me for basically making a short joke. You really do love me." He chuckled and kisses Marius's nose,and carefully walked down the stairs and into his room. He then set down Marius, and stripped himself down to nothing but his boxers. He was lean but built,with a 4 pack and slight muscle. There were two things to notice. A gay pride flag tattoo edged in gold on his shoulder,and a scar from a cattle branding iron on his side. He sighed and began to remake his bed, moving Marius into a chair. "Oh yes go get some pajamas or what have you Marius. I do hope it doesn't bother you I… I forgot to pack pajamas."

Marius huffed a bit and tugged his hat down over his face again. He flushed red when Evan stripped in front of him, unable to keep himself from taking him in before quickly looking away. R-RIght, um… yeah… I'll go do that… He left the room and headed to his own, where he changed into a simple set of silk pajamas. He kept his mask on, of course, although he didn't often sleep with it when he was alone.

Evan finished setting up the bed, and wrapped himself in one of the blankets to make things less awkward when Marius came back. He then grabbed a book, set the lantern on the side table,and began to read while waiting for Darius to return.

Marius soon returned and crawled into bed with Evan, shifting around to get himself comfortable. He had left his hat in his own room, but kept the mask. He still wasn't comfortable with Evan seeing his mouth.

"If you want to take off the mask I can be big spoon." He said as he put away his book. "I promise not to look. That'd be disrespectful."

Are you sure? Marius still seemed pretty hesitant. You won't be too curious to not try and look? He got ready to shift around.

He nods. "Indeed. I'll get to learn in my own time. I'll even bury my face into the back of your neck so even if I am tempted I won't feed into it." He kissed his cheek.

…Alright… Marius shifted so he was in front of Evan. He removed his mask only when he was sure that Evan was in a position where he couldn't see him. Goodnight…

Evan kissed the back of his neck. "Goodnight my prince." He leaned up, blew out the lantern,and fell asleep with his arms wrapped tight around him. The next morning Evan woke up with a groan and sat up, bleary-eyed and hungry. "Neck why is there…oh yes. Last night. Gmorning Mari." He said with a grin, kissing his cheek,closing his eyes as he did so.

Marius had awoken early to put on his mask before Evan woke up, although he still seemed pretty drowsy. Good morning, Evan… we should probably go get breakfast. You sound hungry. He flipped around to tuck his head under Evan's chin.

"Mmm yes I am. But. I'm not ready to get up." He pulled Marius into him and kissed his cheeks a bit more, a smile on his face.

Marius whined a bit at the showering of attention and pushed Evan away from himself, huffing. Too much… we can stay here for a few minutes if you really want to, though.

"I do apologize, my mind is a little scrambled. Thank you. I just like having you here in my arms." He smiled gently and pressed one last kiss to Marius's cheek. "Alright. I'm done kissing you. For now. Unless you ask for them." He nodded and held Marius close, enjoying the sleepy warmth.

Mm… Marius closed his eyes again and tangled himself up with Evan, seeming content for now. We really should get going soon, though. It'll be suspicious if we're in here for too long.

"I know. I know. But you said I could stay for a moment. So. A moment I shall stay." He sat up very slowly with Marius in his lap. He groaned. "I don't want to be selfish but I really do not want to let you go. You are warm and fit into my grasp like a puzzle piece. But you do hold a good point." His arms slide away from around Marius, and he set him down before standing up and stretching. He then began to get dressed, humming quietly as he did so.

I should probably go get dressed as well. Farewell. Marius bowed a bit and hurried off to his own room to pull on his usual garb. He was already at the table by the time Evan came out of his room.

Evan smiled as he left and bowed in return. He came to the table running a hand through his hair, and sat down. "I do apologize for being late to breakfast my queen. I had trouble sleeping last night and kept myself awake by reading." He began to get himself food, a smile he can't wipe off of his face beaming bright, thinking about the events of last night. "Marius. Would you mind taking me horse riding? I'd like to see the lands and your gardens. I saw them out the window this morning. Absolutely beautiful, your gardeners must work hard. I want to see them closer."

Mm. I suppose. Marius adjusted his hat and finished teleporting food into his stomach. I will be outside in the stables. Don't keep me waiting for too long. He left the castle and examined all the horses closely, trying to decide which one to ride. Most of the horses were ponies or just rather short. He saddled up his usual slim, white pony and was sitting on it when Evan arrived.

"Always so rude." Evan said, shaking his head. He finished eating as quick as he could and bolted out the door to the stables. He then walked along the horses. His horse was a tall grey speckled pony, with big brown eyes. "Hi there Princess." He said, kissing her nose and then saddling up. He had brought along his knapsack, and it was slung over his shoulders. He seemed to carry it with him everywhere. "Thank you for taking me on a ride."

Mhmm. Marius dug his heels into his pony's sides and led it outside. What all were you wanting to see? He asked, coaxing the pony into a trot as he glanced around the grounds. The property is large. We could be out here all day just looking at everything.

"Then let's spend the whole day together Mari." He said in a jovial tone. "I'll let you decide where we go, with the catastrophe that was the market yesterday. I think this time you should lead. I don't care where we go." He led the horse along, following Marius slowly.

Alright. Marius continued on, bringing Evan first to the flower gardens. We grow lots of our own food here, but these gardens are purely decorative. We've got flowers from places all over the world growing here.
