Neo sat next to him, stretching out and yawning widely. “Riiiight. I told you you were welcome in my palace any time, didn’t I?” He set a hand on Braith’s and laid back. The ocean swept over his wool socks and pants.
"You did, but you've got to let me do something with all those white walls. It's like an institution in there!" Braith turned his hand over so he could intertwine his fingers with Neo's.
Neo chuckled and rolled his eyes. “And that stops you from coming in to see me? And possibly staying the night over?” He glanced at Braith, grinning a loopy grin.
Braith opened his eyes and turned his head to look at Neo. Warm flames were dancing in his eyes. "Yes." He said sticking his tongue out so Neo knew he was only joking.
Neo booped Braith’s nose with his other hand and beamed. “Then you’ll just have to fix it.” He set his bracing hand back down.
Braith hummed, pleased a blush tinting his cheeks. "So you'll let your youthful artist lover paint your castle with wild abandon?" He place a hand scandalously over his mouth. "What will the nobles say?"
Neo snorted jokingly and squeezed Braith’s hand. “The nobles will accept it whether they like it or not.” He shook the hair out of his face.
(hEy KAT)
(tis I, Kat.)
Braith leaned up on an elbow over Neo so he could look down into his eyes. "Yes. Yes they will." He closed the distance between their mouths in a hungry kiss.
(Join my RPppppp)
Neo leaned into him and met him into the kiss. He pulled Braith close and wrapped his arms around him.
(WHICH ONE?! I will finnnnnnnnnnd youuu)
Braith melted against his King, but pulled back after a few long moments. "You've been so busy at work. Everything okay?"
(It’s A Very In Depth Groupie and it’s in a cool font in Limited. And it’s on my Universe, so you can just pop in.)
Neo kept a bracing hand on Braith. He gave his cheeks and neck a couple needing kisses and opened his eyes.
“Yeah. Everything is okay.”
Braith made a happy sound deep in his throat, but eyed Neo. He never talked much about the goings on in the castle and even less about his family. "Are you sure? Anything I can help with?" He doubted it but he still offered.
Neo smiled a little and kissed his jaw gently. “I’m positive, dear. I’m okay. I’m sure.”
Braith still doubted, but he trusted Neo. Pecking him quickly on the lips Braith asked, "What are we doing tonight?"
Neo leaned back into the sand and yawned. “It’s whatever you wanna do, lovely.” He looked at Braith with a grin.
Braith could think of a few things, as his eye traveled up and down Neo's body. He kept his mind somewhat blank, something he had been practicing at, so Neo wouldn't notice. "I heard that the orchestra was putting on a special concert in the great park." He said looking out towards the ocean before his thoughts got derailed by naughty thoughts.
Neo smirked, still reading Braith’s hungry gaze. “Mmm… an orchestra. Sounds like a wonderful evening. What should we do after that?” He shifted his weight around, his doughy blue eyes still digging into Braith’s profile.
Braith continued to look away. He would not be distracted by the wondrous King that sat by his side. "Perhaps a dinner flambé?" He said instead, flicking a tiny harmless flame over to Neo. He had been practicing cooking, he wasn't very good still but….he tried.
Neo caught the flame in his thick hand and tossed it back at him. It simmered out before it reached Braith.
“Sounds good. I bet it’ll be absolutely wonderful.”
Braith laughed, twirling the flame back to Neo where it settled into a flaming crown atop his midnight hair. "That's what you said last time before I set your kitchen on fire."
Neo laughed and grabbed the crown from his head, giving it back to Braith. “I think you’ll do better this time.”
"We will just have to see." Braith held the crown in his hands for a moment, before allowing the flames to sink back into his skin. "Perhaps we should invite your brother?" He asked carefully.
Neo looked away and up at the sky. “I don’t think he would want to come. He is not a pleasant guest to have, either.” He sighed slowly. “My twin is a lonely soul. He’s not very well off when he’s alone.”
"I'm sure he would come if you asked." Braith said softly, brushing a hand down Neo's back in comfort. "It's up to you in the end, love. But I would like to formally meet him."
(Tee he he)
Neo shut his eyes with a sigh. “It’s your cooking we will be eating. And you’re my guest. You choose to meet him. So… I can invite him.”
Braith did not take Neo's comment as a victory, he would be cooking after all. "It'll be fine, my Neo. What's the worst that can happen? M eats me?" He chuckled deep in his throat, giving Neo a nip on his own neck, right in the spot Braith knew he loved.
Neo moved his head back and gave a low purr in response. “Mmm… You never know with him. I still suggest we don’t invite him, but I’ll tell him that you have summoned him for dinner tonight.”
"Summoned?! ME?! Neo, he would never come simply because of that. I have no power in which to summon him." Braith pulled back from his loving on Neo's neck to look him deep in the eye.
