Daus nodded and held both of his hands out, gingerly pulling his sleeves up as he glanced up towards Erikos. He usually didn't mind taking the bandages off, but he was worried that Erikos might find the burns odd.
Erikos began unwrapping the bandages gently, setting them aside neatly as he glanced at the burns. He brought them to his mouth again, taking a moment to let a little of what appeared to be venom build on his lips. He began to kiss at the burns again, but when the venom touched them they seemed to provide a soothing effect
Daus tensed up when Erikos touched the bare burns again, though he let out a small sigh when the soothing feeling took place. The burns would never leave though, a constant reminder of helping a human soul when he shouldn't have. "Thank you," he mumbled as he glanced up towards Erikos. "But, why are you helping me…?" Daus added softly.
"Because you're too cute to be in pain," Erikos murmured. He continued to kiss at the burns, feeling just a little lightheaded from the amount of venom he was producing to soothe the burns
"It's alright, Erikos. They aren't going to leave," Daus mumbled, running a hand against Erikos' side softly as he looked down at the burns. He had tried multiple times, with several healers and minor gods that swore that they wouldn't speak to anyone about it, though the burns had always stayed. Literally every possible thing. "I've tried," he added, shrugging faintly.
“Not the point,” Erikos insisted as he continued to do something. “Point is to make them hurt a little less. You’re too…nice to hurt,” he mumbled, tripping over his words a little as the lightheadedness began to get to him
"A god gave me these. It might feel better now, but the pain will come back," Daus said softly as he noticed Erikos seem to get tired from the venom. He sighed and frowned faintly, hoping that he wasn't making the other man worry too much about him. "It's okay, Erikos," He added, honestly grateful that they had helped him even if it only provided a few moments of relief.
Erikos presses a final kiss to Daus’ hand before pulling back, wiping away a small bit of venom still lingering on his lip. “Better?” he asked as he looked up at Daus, noticeably a little out of it
"Better," Daus answered, nodding as he pressed a kiss to Erikos' forehead, tugging the other man closer as he noticed how tired they seemed to be. "C'mere," He mumbled softly, a small smile tugging the corners of his lips up.
“I’m already here,” Erikos chuckled, but he did move closer to Daus. He turned into his back so that he was laying on Daus’ lap, and he gave the other a soft smile. “You should let those pretty horns of yours show,” he mumbled
"You got me there," Daus answered, laughing softly as he began to wrap the large bandages around his hands again. The venom had really helped, though the air began to make them sting again. As he began to wrap his palms up again, Daus tilted his head to the side in thought at what Erikos said, but after a few moments, he shifted partly so his dark horns peeked out, the left one already chipped at the top.
"There they are," Erikos said, a smile spreading across his face. He reached up with one hand lazily to run his fingers along the horn nearest to him. "Your horns are so pretty, you know that?" he said, his grin only widening as he spoke
"Sure that isn't the alcohol talking?" Daus teased, playing with a few strands of Erikos' hair as he pressed a kiss to the other man's forehead, a few stray curls falling across his own. He liked being around Erikos, which made him hope that this wouldn't just be a one-night kind thing like other 'relationships' Daus had been in before.
"Nah. Always thought your horns were pretty. Especially the chipped one. Makes you look even hotter," Erikos said with a grin. He moved his hand to tap at the chipped horn before letting it fall across his chest again. "All you gods get the hot stuff. I got neon pink antlers," he said with a laugh
"Please, you're the hottest thing I've seen in a long time. It's almost a surprise I wasn't stuttering when I saw you," Daus answered, chuckling lightly as Erikos tapped his chipped horn. A bright grin spread across his face at the sight of Erikos' smile, lighting up his darker features a bit.
"Well I mean I'm pretty hot, but usually just in the 'pin you against the wall and then leave the next morning' way. Like, nobody thinks I'm hot hot," Erikos said with a small laugh
"Well, I think you're more than the 'pinning against a wall' hot," Daus added, laughing a bit at Erikos' comment as he took the other mans hand subconsciously, careful not to put too much pressure on his burns.
Erikos smiled dorkily at that, and he brought the hand Daus held to his lips. He pressed a few kisses to the knuckles, still grinning like an idiot as he did so
"Gods, you're adorable. And a dork," Daus teased, laughing softly as his cheeks flushed from the kisses on his knuckles. He leaned down and pressed his lips to Erikos' gently, still moving a bit slowly from the alcohol.
Erikos kissed him back happily, shifting a little since the position he was in made the kiss a little awkward. He reached up, wrapping his arms loosely around Daus' neck as he kissed the other

(I lack social media so I wouldn't be able to help :/)
Erikos kissed him back happily, shifting a little since the position he was in made the kiss a little awkward. He reached up, wrapping his arms loosely around Daus' neck as he kissed the other
Daus made a small humming sound as he ran a hand up and down Erikos' sides, tilting his head faintly to the side as he continued the kiss. He cracked an eye open to look at the other man, a faint laugh escaping his lips at the dorky smile still plastered on their face.
Erikos couldn't help his grin, especially with all the affection. He broke away for a moment, just so he could turn onto his stomach. He nuzzled into Daus' neck, the other's aura comforting when his horns picked it up
Daus smiled softly, pressing a few slow kisses to Erikos' neck and jawline as he leaned back against the couch, tugging the other man towards them. His curls fell across his eyes, though he didn't appear to notice them as a dorky grin spread across his face.
"Like when you do that," Erikos mumbled, nuzzling into his face further into Daus' neck. "'Specially when your aura gets all warm and fuzzy like that," he continued
