Ayce bit his lip a little. "No I'm not…" He replied, leaning his forehead against Nolan's shoulder. He poked Nolan's chest with a finger. "You are."
The Only One // One on One // CLOSED
Nolan chuckled. "Im not beautiful. Roth, rugged, handsome yes. But not beautiful. That's what you are."
Ayce blinked slowly. "Somebody once said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder…some people like the night sky, some people think it's hideous. Some people think…" He shrugged, the moment of clarity wearing away.
Nolan just smiled down at him. "And those are beautiful words." If he could, he would have dragged Ayce to his chest amd kissed him passionately. But he didn't instead he went to one of the stores and purchased a couple things.
Ayce shrugged very slightly, and followed him quietly. He looked around the store, hair drifting into his face a little bit.
"Is there anything particular that you want to get?" Nolan asked hin as they left the shop.
Ayce shook his head, still holding onto Nolan's hand. "No." He replied softly. He brushed some hair out of his face.
(Hey, just letting you know that I'm going to California for a few days, so i wont be super active)
Nolan nodded. He kissed the top of his head quickly. "If you change your mind ket me know."
(Okay)
Ayce nodded. "Okay." He replied softly, leaning against Nolan for a moment.
Nolan pulled Ayce closer. He finished shopping for supplies. "Do you want to do something darling?"
Ayce looked at him and shrugged. "I don't know…" He said softly, still holding onto his hand.
"That's alright. We can go back to our room and cuddle. How does that sound?" Nolan asked.
Ayce nodded slowly. "Okay." He agreed, a tiny smile flickering over his face for a moment. Even when he smiled, that remaining bit of fear and pain never left his eyes. It always seemed to be there, hovering at the edges of his mind and soul.
Nolan smiled dowm happily at him. He took him back to their room and the set his things down. "We'll get a horse tomorrow, before we leave." He said and sat down on the bed, pulling his boots off
Ayce nodded, sitting down on the bed and watching him. "Why?" He asked softly, pulling his knees up to his chest and tucking his arms around his legs.
"So there's less walking and we'll back sooner." Nolan grabbed Ayce and pulled him to hos chest. He set the fae in his lap
Ayce nodded, and let out a soft sound of surprise, then leaned back against Nolan. "Okay." He replied softly.
Nolan smiled and kissed his head. "I'm going to kiss you." He murmured, his way for asking consent.
Ayce looked at him, blue eyes a little wide. "Okay." He whispered, snuggling close to Nolan.
Nolan cupped his cheek gently and pressed his lips to Ayce's. He kept the kiss soft and sweet.
Ayce hesitantly kissed him back, wrapping his arms around Nolan's neck and holding onto him.
One hand cupped the back of Ayce's head, the other slipping up his shirt. Nolan hesitantly deepened the kiss
Ayce froze for a moment, then slowly kissed him back still. One hand went into Nolan's hair lightly, the other still resting around his neck.
Nolan laid back on the bed, keeping Ayce on top of him. His ran his hand soothingly up and down his back. "My beautiful darling." Me murmured against his lips
Ayce was pretty much curled on top of him, mouth still pressed to his. He closed his eyes, shivering a little as Nolan's fingers brushed against the raised scars, the still healing wounds, the bruises.
Nolan smiled softly, continuing to kiss him. He stroked the back of his neck gently.
Ayce returned the kisses, cuddling closer to Nolan. His mind was still a jumble, but he felt…calm. Almost happy, for the first time in years.
Nolan tightened his hokd kn Ayce just a bit. He trailed away from his lips amd started to kiss Ayce's neck
Ayce shivered, a soft sound of surprise escaping his mouth as Nolan's lips touched his neck. He turned his head a little to rest it against Nolan's shoulder.
Nolan started to suck softly at his skin. He then trialed his lips up his neck and over his jaw
