(Alright!)
Lucien smirked. "If I said "you", would you punch me?" he replied teasingly, kissing Aki's forehead. "I'm only teasing," he added, "It's a little early for that sort of thing."
It's not in the Cards (O/O)
Aki blushed a bright red at that, before shaking his head. "I'm afraid I'd get arrested," He laughs as he leans into the kiss. "I suppose…" He hummed before leaning into Lucien's side.
"Nah. They wouldn't arrest you." Lucien replied softly. "And…please don't ever hold back on me because you're afraid of the guards or something. Okay? You can say and do what you want. The only thing you can't do is try to kill me." He chuckled softly.
He nods a little, a smile growing on his lips. "I'll… I'll keep that in mind." He whispers softly, brushing some hair from his face. He leaned against Lucien, his mind wandering as they walked.
Lucien nodded, holding Aki close. "Alright. And I really do mean it. You can say or do just about anything, and I'm not going to…well, I might get pissy, but the guards won't touch you. I already made sure of that."
His eyes widen a little bit. "You've done so much for me…" He mumbles, a blush running across his cheeks. "Thank you, Lucien. It means a lot." He gives Lucien a gentle kiss on his cheek.
Lucien smiled. "Well, you did save my life, so I sort of owe you for that." He said with a soft laugh. He tugged Aki closer.
Aki laughed quietly and leaned into him. "That was me doing my job…" He mutters softly, a small smile on his lips.
Lucien bumped his hip against Aki's, smiling. "Either way. You saved my life." He kissed Aki's cheek.
Aki laughed softly before leaning into the kiss. He sighed happily as he walked beside the other. He appeared exhausted.
"Are you tired?" Lucien asked softly, raising his eyebrows. He gathered Aki into his arms.
"A little bit…" he mumbles, snuggling into Lucien's arms, wrapping his arms around his waist.
Lucien kissed the top of his head. "Mm. Want to head to bed, then?" He asked.
He nods eagerly, kissing his cheek in reply. "That sounds extremely tempting…" He mumbles.
Lucien chuckled a little, and smiled. "Alright. Come on." He replied. He started walking, then paused. "Do you want to be dropped off in your own room, or should we just head to mine?"
He smiled in reply before following after. "Either is fine…" He mumbles, leaning into his grasps. He sighed and nuzzled into his side.
Lucien smiled, and nodded. He picked Aki up and started walking.
Aki giggled. "You always carry me… I must admit I like it." He sighs in relief.
Lucien chuckled. "Mm. You're welcome." he replied, kissing Aki's forehead. "I'm going to spoil you rotten."
Aki smiled. "Thank you." He hummed as he nuzzles into Lucien's neck. "Only if you want to… you don't need to spoil me." He chuckles softly.
Lucien smiled and kept carrying him. His cane was looped over his arm as he walked.
He dozed as Lucien carried him, only to startle a little when he felt cold sweep over him. "It's chilly…" He mumbles.
Lucien paused, frowning a little. "It's…not, really." He said slowly, wondering if this was some sort of magic thing again.
He hummed a little before sighing quietly. "Maybe it's just me…" He mumbles quietly. He smiled at the other.
"Maybe." He replied, and smiled back. He used his elbow to open the door to his room, and went inside, kicking it shut and setting Aki down on the bed. He sat down beside the smaller male.
Aki curled into the blankets and sighing happily. "Thank you…" He mumbles as he curled into the other. "So now what?" he asks quietly as he looked up at Lucien.
Lucien smiled, and looked at him. He shrugged a little. "I don't know." he replied honestly, kissing Aki's cheek. "What do you want to do?"
Aki hummed with thought. "I dunno. It's really up to you. We could stay like this, or do something." He smiled sweetly at the other.
Lucien smiled at him. "Alright." He replied, hugging Aki close. "Do you want to just sleep, then? You were acting tired."
"A nap sounds nice…" He mumbled, leaning into the other.
(When do we want to have the ball?)
