[at first the idea was just to get away from everyone else. but it's changing, becoming more about it being just him and hunter. at least until they add to that number themselves.]
I'm the one who should be asking you that. [and that's what he's trying to do right now as he takes a new look at the other's back.] Are you still hurting?
[physical and otherwise, though sungki doesn't have much personal experience with having his heart broken. but he knows the next few days will be the hardest for hunter.]
[ his mind says it shouldn’t have happened at all, but it wasn’t He that needed it to happen.
There are so many options here; he could be mad about it, lash out. Make Him feel worse or even stupid for what happened. He could stay here in this house and make it harder.
…and there is a part of him that hates the idea of leaving Daeshim, Lavy, the others…
But that doesn’t really matter anymore. Lennon made it clear that by him being here, trying to care for him that it just makes it harder on him. It just makes him sad that Lennon values the connection of sex more than the Love he would still be giving him even without it.
Hunter sighs - he doesn’t want to think about that anymore. There’s a whole other bag of crazy on his plate now.
His eyes slowly find Sungki again and they linger there. Beautiful, Dangerous, stupid Gremlin. ]
Does…this— [ he motions to himself vaguely. ] —change your feelings now? If it does…I get it…I never wanted it to begin with either.
[ the smile is unconscious, but he loves it when he laughs like that. When he grins and it’s all sharp teeth masking some very obvious affection that he has for Hunter for some reason. ]
Even when I look like a…well…currently a broken chicken….?
[well, you know how he feels about chicken. sungki keeps his eyes locked with hunter's, even as he leans in to lick his tongue alongside some of the dried blood of one of his wings.]
1) apparently the chicken wings are sensitive. 2) he might smother Sungki in his sleep for being sexy when he physically cannot perform anything.
Whether it’s the fae’s intention or not, he’s keeping Hunters nightmares at bay for the time being. He reaches out to touch him, wanting more contact than just his tongue. ]
[oh, but the sadistic (and possibly the masochistic) part of him loves seeing the desire flare up in hunter's eyes, while knowing that his body couldn't go through with it.
he blinks at the touch, a faint smile appearing when he remembers what hunter's talking about.]
I know. I am what I am.
[a fae who will let little jealousies get under his skin, and gnash his teeth at imagined rivals. honestly, he doesn't want to think about if things had gone differently between hunter and lennon. if they had been able to stay close, and sungki had come home to find them cuddled up or had to watch them be playful. it would've made him chew on his own fingers.
speaking of:]
Oh. [he leans back, reaching into his pocket to retrieve something. he holds them out on his palm - several severed fingers. fingers that have touched hunter when they shouldn't have.] When I gather enough, I'll make you a crown from the bones.
[ the reminder might not be necessary, but Hunter gives it regardless.
Hurting him, even unintentionally, is the last thing he wants to do. And perhaps, the thing with Lennon was bound to happen regardless. Hunter hated the way Lennon refused to give the fae a chance - and this last argument proved that even when Sungki does something to benefit Lennon in the long run it’s still frowned upon. Hunter would never do that to Daeshim if the roles had been reversed.
He’s pulled from those thoughts at the sound of the initial ‘oh’ and he watches curiously as Sungki searches his pockets. What he reveals should have repulsed him by human standards - who in their right mind would be this calm looking at a set of severed fingers being presented like a gift?
He wants to say they’re not familiar, but the way his body responds to them says otherwise. He swallows softly and tips his head as he looks them over and then rolls his eyes up to look over his Fae’s face. ]
See? Our brand of romance is not soft. Thank you…no one else would have done that for me.
[sungki smiles a bit as he gives his shoulders a shrug.]
Their loss is my gain.
[it's how he really feels, and he thinks that part of the problem with lennon is that maybe he didn't realize just how precious hunter actually is until someone else took him away. that's his believe anyway.]
Oh, this one still has some saliva on it.
[he wipes the severed finger against his jeans. because that's gross.]
[ it still kind of fascinates him that Sungki thinks that way. Hunter looks at him and see’s this…perfect creature that could have whatever he wanted. He could have had freedom without a deal, without terms. Could have had someone beautiful and just as broken. Could have lived wherever he wanted, done whatever he wanted…
He feels the weight at his back and that word flutters across his brain again; Monster.
It’s going to take time to come to terms with all of this. All of it. But he decides to keep most of it to himself. Sungki’s already spent almost the entire night away dealing with his mess as it was.
He smirks faintly as he watches him wipe the finger off on his pants. That was gross, too, but he lets it slide. ]
[ It’s harder to believe that sentiment than it is to believe that Sungki believes it. He knows the fae can’t lie, and he trusts him implicitly. —even if the fae has a harder time trusting him. Is that going to be worse now that he’s worse than human?
Hunter releases a breath he didn’t realize he’d been holding. He’d been tense the whole time Sungki had been gone. He’s always tense when his fae is gone. He isn’t codependent so much as he just feels safer with him. More at home. ]
I don’t want you to suffer for me. No matter how much value you think I have.
no subject
[ Hunter arches a brow but lets Sungki carry him to the other room. He doesn’t care where they go so long as Sungki came home to him.
He breathes through a little of the pain and holds onto him even once they’re alone again. ]
Are you okay?
no subject

no subject
[ he doesn’t move when Sungki starts to look him over. The question draws a little hum and he nods.. ]
Yeah but it’s not as bad. Things feel like they’re healing. Once…once I’m rested I can heal it all.
[ he looks over his shoulder at him and softens…]
I was mad and hurt.

Look at me. Iron rods couldn't keep me away.

Human bone marrow does not taste like chicken marrow.

He probably doesn’t even realize that he’s staring at Sungki like he’s his favorite thing in the whole world but he is. ]

[ his eyes lid a little, falling on that grin he loves so much before sliding back up to meet his eyes. ]

[it's quiet, so quiet that sungki might've meant to say it to himself. he keeps his eyes on hunter's face as he leans closer.]
Listen to me. Your value is so much more than you realize. You've been lied to about that, over and over. But I can't lie.

I don't think love is supposed to be completely painless. And I wouldn't want it to be.
no subject
I’m sorry. I do that? At least I don’t have cold feet.
no subject
[sungki hums in agreement. yes, it could be worse. for example.]
Do you really think you'll heal? [a glance given to his broken wings.] Because I will miss pinning you against the wall if they don't.
no subject
[ he softens and smiles. ]
Worried?
no subject
[the might have to get creative. more creative.]
Maybe if we suspended you from the ceiling...
no subject
Don’t worry. I’ll be okay. Watch…hurt me.
[ he holds out his hand, palm up. ]
Just cut me or something. Don’t break anything.
