[ Crowley tilts his head when their lips part, stretching out his neck and allowing Aoba more room to leave kisses down his skin. Fingers dig into the human's shoulder, grunting softly with the sensation of his his cock being squeezed that causes a number of low, heated sighs to roll off of his tongue.
He dips his head down, hiding his face somewhere in the crook of Aoba's shoulder. Pressing their chests together, feeling the way the other man's heart beats and vibrates against his rib cage that in turn causes Crowley to open his mouth and drag his tongue over his collar bone. Desire runs thick and he feels a shiver run down his spine, rolling his hips back slowly and feeling every inch Aoba had to offer him. ]
Aoba. Aoba. [ He grinds down, breath hitching in the back of his throat, a thin layer of sweat beginning to coat his body. ] ... Mine— You're mine.
[ He said it last night, but this time he'll say it so the man can understand. ]
( kissing along his neck like this... lips pressing along its curve, slow and affectionate, it can't help but feel different. more intimate. and he really likes the way Crowley hides his face along his shoulder. chests press together; he could stay like this for hours, he thinks, tangled up and lost in the expanse of the vampire's touch and body.
his voice can't be contained; soft pants, whines, moans whenever Crowley hits an inch he particularly likes.
god, and the way his says his name as he grinds down like that. any man would get caught in Crowley's rhythm, lost in the comely sound of his voice and the way his breath hitches. mine. the word makes his stomach roll, another groan as he tries to pull himself in closer, like he isn't already as close as they can be.
trying his hardest to move along with him rather than just receive, Aoba grunts, presses his cheek against the side of Crowley's head and whispers: )
... Y-yeah. Yeah. I'm yours.
( does he understand? no, not really, but it's a selfish agreement; right now, he wants to be Crowley's. wants Crowley to be his. is it so bad to indulge in something so impossible in the heat of passion...? )
I'm yours so... so don't let go.
( another kiss, against the vampire's ear, nuzzling with all the affection that's been creeping up on him since the start. )
[ Hearing the acceptance was enough, but being told to not let go caused something within him to spark with lust. A lust for sex, blood, and perhaps more but... Crowley desperately swallows that down before it manages to surface into his thoughts and possibly his mouth. Crying out just how much he can feel something bubbling up that he isn't supposed to feel, not as a vampire.
With his free hand he lightens up on the sheets, reaching over to grab one of Aoba's arms and pin it to the bed. Hand quickly tracing over muscle before he grasps onto the male's hand, interlocking their fingers and gripping onto him.
It feels dangerously intimate but—no, it is, and Crowley knows exactly how to separate this from emotions and just casual desire. ] Aoba. [ He breathes in, low and ragged, his cock twitching and hinting at his orgasm. ] Tell me... to bite you. I wanna hear you say it.
( warmth floods his cheeks anew, color sitting heavily there, deep red and pink splotching along his throat. interlocking fingers, hand pinned to the bed... it strikes him as more sensual than anything they'd done before. especially with Crowley looks at him like that. sounds like that. both together elicit a lip-bite; Aoba's teeth skim over his own bottom lip, eyes lid, heart quickens.
feeling Crowley's palm pressed against his... he can't help but squeeze back, clasp, try to keep him there. god—he's gonna come, can feel it, right on the cusp of spilling over. )
Ah...? ( a dazed sound broken from his throat, and his lips work uselessly for a second. didn't Crowley tell him to stop asking?? ) But you said that...
( trailing off into another gasp, shifting, trying to grind his hips up once more. but if he's asking... Aoba won't get in trouble for saying it, right? maybe it's just something he wants to hear? another slow breath before he nuzzles against Crowley again, cock twitching with his impending climax. )
[ His breath is hot against Aoba's neck, relishing in the sensation of the human's hips matching the rhythm of his own and adding more friction between pulling and pushing back inside of him. It has Crowley desiring to grab his cock, stroke the length of it, but he's persistent on holding him close like this. To keep him within intimate space so that he may be reminded that in the end, as it has been for the past eight hundred years, this was all for blood.
Of course the mix of pleasure wasn't bad, but vampires drove on blood coursing through a human's veins.
Crowley had to get this feeling out his brain, out of his body; affection, attachment, fondness.
He... cares for Aoba. A lot more than he should, a lot more than he's been allowed to for a human being in a long time, and that thought alone shakes him to his core. As if somewhere, deep down, there may remain remnants of a human being inside of him, and if that were to ever surface he knows that it would only cause more grief on his part.
So when he's given permission he lunges forward, opening his mouth and piercing his fangs into Aoba's neck. The hand on his shoulder dips down, finds the small of his back, and hoists him up effortlessly as his hips thrust into him harder and with lack of rhythm. Concentrating on draining his blood, just a mouthful so it wouldn't hurt him, than anything else. ]
( the shock from fangs digging into his neck makes Aoba's back arch, body curving upward against Crowley's with a loud gasp. he hadn't really been expecting it, yeah, but it's that same drugging mix of pleasure and pain that he's slowly getting addicted to. self-aware enough to realize what's happening but too enamored right now to curb it, for now, he lets himself give in to those desires, groaning and burying his fingers into Crowley's hair.
then he's hoisted, easily, almost like he's a child in comparison to such strength. the different angle sets him deeper and he groans again, grabs on tight, whatever discomfort from the bite nonexistent with the vampire taking such care.
there's no real rhythm but Aoba finds himself not caring; he's too focused on the feeling of Crowley's mouth against him and how good he feels, resting his weight down on the man and rocking his hips in a desperate grind. jerking, trying to bear down on the sweetest spots that send a spiral of heat and a fringe of fire pattering across his skin. muscles tense, and he tightens around Crowley's cock again, body rippling with a spring of energy seeking release. )
Cro...!
( choked out, a desperate whine as Aoba hits his orgasm, bowing his head and panting against the curve of the vampire's shoulder with each shuddering breath. dizzily pressing kisses against that shoulder and turning his head much as he can to trail kisses up, trying to give enough for Crowley to remember. )
[ He can't feel the way Aoba's fingers curl into his hair or how tight his hand is within his own. Paying close attention to the taste of his blood, realizing that it tastes even better than from the night before and forces himself to stop before he finds himself completely incoherent. Unwilling to let go, because if he had continued to swallow down a few more mouthfuls then there's no denying that the human would be close to death.
So one is enough, to which Crowley unhinges and pulls his fangs out of his neck. Examining the two wounds before pulling back.
Normally he would just lick the remnants of blood dripping from the open wound, but he steels himself. Because in the back of his head, where heated instinct lay waiting for him to make such a small mistake, he knew that he would drink the human dry.
Focus returning as his cock throbs, wanting release, and within the next few thrusts Crowley rumbles out a heated groan as he buries himself inside Aoba. Screwing his eyes shut as he meets his orgasm, toes curling upon being greeted to that all too satisfying edge. His grip goes slack, carefully dropping the man onto the mattress as he unravels with slow, deep breaths of air.
He doesn't sit up as he catches his breath, but he doesn't move his face away from Aoba's shoulder either. Whether it's out of concern for the man's health or because he feels content is... obvious. Chest purposely pressed against the other's so he can feel the beat of his heart. ]
Sorry.
[ That's the most his throat will allow him to get out. ]
( there's a rush of lightheadedness that comes from even just that mouthful; Crowley had been right before, that he should eat before any more biting, but in the end Aoba... doesn't care. it feels good for Crowley, thus it feels good for him. even if his heart gives a weird sputter at some point, righting itself after a few palpitations.
Aoba's breaths are shallow; he's a mass of feeling when Crowley buries himself in deep, every nerve on edge and focused on the vampire. squeezing his hand and refusing to let go, petting with the fingers he'd dug into soft hair.
and when he's dropped back onto the mattress he goes easy, sweet and pliant with exhaustion. even if it'd been slow it'd still been... enough to get his heart racing. wow.
only when the vampire's settled against him does his hand slide out of his hair, moving to cup against the smooth curve of the man's cheek. thumb gently strumming beneath his eye in a repetitive movement, tender in its caress. )
Mm..? Don't be. You're... wonderful.
( maybe it's a little embarrassing to say, and he mutters the last bit of it, but... it's true. and it's not like he didn't want it either.
this is wonderful too. tangled up like this, though he can't feel the beat of a heart in return he's still soothed by their closeness. bowing his head just enough, Aoba presses a kiss against the vampire's head, around his forehead and hairline. wherever he can reach. )
[ Crowley is rapidly growing to appreciate and become content with the physical affection Aoba treats him with. The first time he thought it was weird, a random hookup that really could have not happened if he never gave the idea of having sex in the first place, but did he regret that? Did he regret this?
Maybe, in the future, he'll learn to.
That's usually how it goes. ]
Moron. [ It's mumbled against Aoba's shoulder, turning his head to look at him with a small crease between his brows. It's mild agitation at best, if he's even willing to call it that, as his tone remains relatively calm and in the midst of catching his breath. ] I wasn't apologizing for that, I'm talking about taking your blood again. If I had messed up and taken too much then I could have killed you.
[ His demeanor reads neutral, but there's an apologetic glint in his eyes. That and a small hint of self-loathe, disappointed after he's learned from experience when to stop so he wouldn't kill humans through blood drinking. ]
( Aoba hadn't been unsure as to what Crowley had been apologizing for at all; he'd felt it, the dizzying rush that was a signal from his body that it was reaching some kind of limit. that it'd be easy to pass out from that, with everything they've done between now and last night.
yet his expression remains gentled, glancing down at the vampire and the crease between his eyebrows. that's... kind of cute. he probably shouldn't think it's cute when Crowley's mildly agitated, but he does. it's kind of nice..... a different expression, when the man usually seems so.... what's the word........ equable. maybe. )
But you didn't. I'm fine.
( looking at the positive. whatever silver linings that're there, along with some willfull ignorance of the consequences. or idk he's just down to fuck to a bad end #yoloooooooooooo
with a puff, Aoba dips and presses a kiss against that crease, enamored with it as he is. )
If you're really sorry, you can go get me breakfast after all. ( he's teasing, really....... but he wouldn't say no to an egg mcmuffin right about now. ) I hate milk, so don't even think about getting that.
( even the word is diSGUSTING.... sullied kissing Crowley with that filth. he's gotta cleanse, which is why Aoba's snuggling in and kissing him again. )
[ Crowley wasn't expecting that sort of reaction, so he can't be blamed for his silence. Grip going slack between the two of them, accepting the shower of kisses, only tilting his head up to lazily drag his lips across the shape of Aoba's jaw and moving up towards his ear. Teasing his earlobe lightly with the sharpest point of his fangs before he decides to pull back. ]
Hm, then I take it back. I'm not that sorry.
[ He empties his mind of complicated thoughts, shrugs off the idea that he was almost frightened over the possibility that he was moments away from nearly killing Aoba. Though something clings to him and weighs heavy on the heart that lay still in his chest, but what exactly that is is unknown to him.
He leans down quickly, giving the man beneath him a chaste kiss before slowly easing himself from inside Aoba with a small sigh. Sitting back onto his knees as he brings a hand to his shoulder and slowly messages it. ]
( Aoba would rather it be this way, even if he was dangerously close to passing out, or being sucked dry. he doesn't want that guilt to weigh on Crowley. and it seems like his ploy worked; a smile ticks on his lips at the pull to his earlobe, and he returns that chaste kiss while it's there, relishing the feeling of the vampire's lips on his.
losing that comfortable stretching sensation is a little disappointing, but they can't stay this way forever. Aoba breathes out, relaxes back onto the mattress and makes a grab for a pillow to cushion against his body. seeking something to hold, press against his chest in Crowley's absence. )
[ After rolling his shoulder twice Crowley moves to finally get off the bed after hours, stretching out his legs before placing a hand on his neck and hearing a firm crack when he stretches it to the side. It had been some time since he had last slept in a bed, coffins had become far too common and the act of sleeping in anything beside that has become unfamiliar in both mind and body. ]
I don't even know what that is. [ He's lying. ] Protein, Aoba. Protein.
[ He picks up his pants and underwear, pulling that back on before he strides over towards the couch holding the remainder of his clothes. ]
If you keep this up I will come back with a whole gallon of milk.
[ He's not even kidding. ]
Eggs, yogurt... fish, that kind of stuff. What are you hungry for?
( netflix, maybe. a donut?? he just doesn't want Aoba to have pure sugar and carbs. which... makes sense, even if he really could go for something sweet right now. it'd give him a boost. a shallow boost that'd have him crashing after but a boost all the same.
at the milk threat his nose wrinkles: don't you dare. the very thought makes him squeeze the pillow tighter and narrow his eyes. he'd probably do it. it's not worth the risk. )
Breakfast sandwich.
( definitely not yogurt, and fish is... eh... maybe not now. so eggs works the best; sitting up, Aoba plops the pillow into his lap. watching Crowley's movements with curious eyes. should he get dressed too? seems like a good idea to take a shower after everything they've done, first. )
[ Crowley would shower if vampire metabolism didn't supposedly make it more of a luxury than a requirement. I don't know how this fucking works but that's just how things are. Halted metabolism somehow makes you unable to age and you never stink... become a vampire today. ]
Sure.
[ He's finished getting dressed before he's looking around again, clearly looking for something before he stops. There's probably no reason for him to put his belt on if he's coming back anyway. ] Coffee or juice? [ A pause. ] Never mind, I'll just force you to drink milk.
[ Is he kidding? Is he being honest? Who knows. What does matter is that he's approaching Aoba again, offering him a smile as he leans down. ] Can I get a kiss before I go? Or have I teased you too much, baby?
( it's... it's really hard to tell if he's kidding or not. Aoba makes another face, distaste evident and he ain't even trying to hide it. man, tell him that was a bad idea, huh? now he's going to use it as leverage forever.
.... not forever. this is just another hookup, right? Aoba's gut does a little flip, and he hugs the pillow tighter against himself. right. can't get too attached; he knew that since... well. day one.
but then he's close again—Aoba looks up, blinking quizzically at the vampire, unable to not smile in return. )
Mm, I guess you can have one. Just because if you bring milk back it'll be your very last, and all.
( it better be juice!!! or anything else, honestly. with a light harumph his expressions smooths over and he reaches up, leaning up and putting weight forward on his knees to catch Crowley in a kiss. palms pressed against the shape of the vampire's jaw, cupping, like he's holding something dear. )
[ His lips are already curled in a playful grin before Aoba is leaning in close to bring their mouths together. He responds gently, putting in as much as the other does before opening his eyes once more. ] Already miss me? [ A joke, of course, pulling away from that heavenly hold of his. ] I'll be back soon, take a shower and just wait.
[ It's not entirely a promise, but it's obvious that Crowley holds no intentions of leaving and never returning. Aoba has, as he's stated before, done plenty of waiting and vanishing now would be downright cruel. Though, ultimately, if he were called he'd have no problems leaving. Ferid calls him and he won't look back, it's only natural at this point for him to respond even if the possibility of being stood up is high.
At least that's what he tells himself.
But he leaves and... surprise, as soon as he's gone is he back. It feels odd to return to a hotel, wasn't it more common for humans to only stay one night? But he's not complaining, he's got a bag in one hand and without so much as a knock is he using the only key to enter the room. Apparently a little groggy, the sun does that despite the ring around his arm, but otherwise fine. And hey, upon closer inspection Aoba may or may not be able to realize that that's certainly not milk in the clear bag. ]
well... a shower sounds really good right now. doesn't Crowley want one too? yet the vampire seems completely fine; does he just not sweat like a human would?
not thoughts Aoba's going to spend forever on. he does just that, trudges into the bathroom despite the way his muscles complain and drags himself into a hot shower. lathering up thick with soap and scrubbing away the remnants of their night together feels good, even if he likes having Crowley's scent all over.
and he's not out soon enough to be waiting when the vampire returns—dang, he's not Crowley, he's Wile E. Crowlyote. but it's only a moment later that the sound of the knob's being turned and the sound of the shower goes out. Aoba's left his clothes across the bed, not having even thought about them when he dragged himself into the bathroom in the first place, so when he steps out it's with a towel knotted around his waist, smelling of clean skin and soap. )
Welcome back. ( well, he's not displeased to have Crowley back so soon. and of course he looks downward suspiciously, ready to recoil at even the shape of a milk carton. but it looks safe and he lets free a little sigh of relief. ) So what did you get?
( since they both knew he was looking for milk right then. is it donuts???// )
[ Listen when the sun makes you tired you want to move fast, and Crowley's not going to get stuck to give anyone curious an explanation as to why he has pointed ears, red eyes, and fangs. The cashier/vendor gave him a set of raised brows and that's enough to make him want to move as fast as possible.
There's a reason why they had a law for not interacting with humans. He's certain it's not just general annoyance but for him that's one of them.
He's just glad to be back. ]
First, I got that sandwich thing you were talking about. [ And then he's reaching into the bag with his free hand. ] And orange juice. That good enough?
[ He's grinning, shifting his weight onto one foot. ]
( he hadn't realized how dang ravenous he was until... well... literally just now. the smell of the breakfast sandwich wafting has his stomach growling almost embarrassingly loud, but he's too famished to care. )
Better than great!
( Aoba hangry. though that's only half the reason he's pressing closer, the other half because Crowley's cute with his grin, and he can't help but getting into the vampire's space. )
It was good. Are you sure you don't... ( drifts, and then redirects; if Crowley wanted to take a shower he would've. ) ... I'm glad you came back so fast. I almost missed you.
( almost. he offers a little grin of his own before making a grab for the bag, ready to tear into everything in there like a savage. Aoba, put some clothes on before you eat food, don't be a freak. )
[ Almost. That's sound enough for him and he's quick to unravel his fingers and hand the bag over Aoba within a second. And it's not like Crowley's judging him for eating with no clothes on, he literally just did the same thing not too long ago. ]
Showering isn't necessary for us vampires, by the way.
[ He's going to give Aoba space, however, moving to the edge of the bed and sitting there. ]
Though I'll probably take one before I have to leave.
I know vampires are... different, but you really don't need to shower? Even after all that?
( as he munches into the sandwich, doing his best to gather the napkins around its base so he doesn't make a big ole mess. )
Won't you smell like me? ( ........ wait a second, ) I—I mean, I sweat and, you know... even if you don't, we were... touching. And, you know. It's dirty... it doesn't just, vanish? ( pause, mumble mumble, ) I don't know.
( as he takes another aggressive bite of his sandwich. )
Even if you'll probably do it anyway...
( .... and then Crowley definitely won't smell like Aoba. why's that vaguely disappointing? )
My body processes things like sweat and smell differently, give or take a few hours it'll be like I wasn't even here. [ So it does sort of vanish... don't fucking ask me ask Kagami I'm tired of ONS. ]
If it concerns you that much I'll take one~ Not that I'm complaining, it's been a little while since the last time I've gotten dirty.
[ And he's shooting a mischievous look over at Aoba. As if he's that cat in the knife meme. ]
( it's not even like he should be surprised by any of this at this point. it makes sense... probably... that his body would process things differently. even if it actually makes no sense to Aoba at all. well, whatever—Crowley's always going to be something of an enigma. )
You don't... have to, or anything. If you don't want to. It's fine if you smell like me for a while longer.
( oh, he said it. but Crowley's always encouraged him to say what he wants, so he won't take this back. )
[ Curved brows and a crooked smile, it’s difficult to tell whether or not Crowley means any actual offense if it’s based purely on his expression alone. His tone is light, as it usually is, however, and that alone makes it obvious that he’s only teasing once more. Unsurprisingly. ]
I might actually have to shower. [ He crosses his arms across his chest. ] Knowing you you’ll get all hot and bothered again~ And if it’s right before we leave I’ll take a quick one just so I can get the sweat off of me.

Pressing their chests together, feeling the way the other man's heart beats and vibrates against his rib cage that in turn causes Crowley to open his mouth and drag his tongue over his collar bone.

no subject
Hm, then I take it back. I'm not that sorry.
[ He empties his mind of complicated thoughts, shrugs off the idea that he was almost frightened over the possibility that he was moments away from nearly killing Aoba. Though something clings to him and weighs heavy on the heart that lay still in his chest, but what exactly that is is unknown to him.
He leans down quickly, giving the man beneath him a chaste kiss before slowly easing himself from inside Aoba with a small sigh. Sitting back onto his knees as he brings a hand to his shoulder and slowly messages it. ]
I need to get you protein, anyway, it'll help.
no subject
losing that comfortable stretching sensation is a little disappointing, but they can't stay this way forever. Aoba breathes out, relaxes back onto the mattress and makes a grab for a pillow to cushion against his body. seeking something to hold, press against his chest in Crowley's absence. )
Oh... ... what about donuts?
( that's not protein, Aoba. )
no subject
I don't even know what that is. [ He's lying. ] Protein, Aoba. Protein.
[ He picks up his pants and underwear, pulling that back on before he strides over towards the couch holding the remainder of his clothes. ]
If you keep this up I will come back with a whole gallon of milk.
[ He's not even kidding. ]
Eggs, yogurt... fish, that kind of stuff. What are you hungry for?
no subject
( netflix, maybe. a donut?? he just doesn't want Aoba to have pure sugar and carbs. which... makes sense, even if he really could go for something sweet right now. it'd give him a boost. a shallow boost that'd have him crashing after but a boost all the same.
at the milk threat his nose wrinkles: don't you dare. the very thought makes him squeeze the pillow tighter and narrow his eyes. he'd probably do it. it's not worth the risk. )
Breakfast sandwich.
( definitely not yogurt, and fish is... eh... maybe not now. so eggs works the best; sitting up, Aoba plops the pillow into his lap. watching Crowley's movements with curious eyes. should he get dressed too? seems like a good idea to take a shower after everything they've done, first. )
Eggs and ham. That's enough protein, right?
no subject
Sure.
[ He's finished getting dressed before he's looking around again, clearly looking for something before he stops. There's probably no reason for him to put his belt on if he's coming back anyway. ] Coffee or juice? [ A pause. ] Never mind, I'll just force you to drink milk.
[ Is he kidding? Is he being honest? Who knows. What does matter is that he's approaching Aoba again, offering him a smile as he leans down. ] Can I get a kiss before I go? Or have I teased you too much, baby?
no subject
.... not forever. this is just another hookup, right? Aoba's gut does a little flip, and he hugs the pillow tighter against himself. right. can't get too attached; he knew that since... well. day one.
but then he's close again—Aoba looks up, blinking quizzically at the vampire, unable to not smile in return. )
Mm, I guess you can have one. Just because if you bring milk back it'll be your very last, and all.
( it better be juice!!! or anything else, honestly. with a light harumph his expressions smooths over and he reaches up, leaning up and putting weight forward on his knees to catch Crowley in a kiss. palms pressed against the shape of the vampire's jaw, cupping, like he's holding something dear. )
... .. ... Don't take too long.
no subject
[ It's not entirely a promise, but it's obvious that Crowley holds no intentions of leaving and never returning. Aoba has, as he's stated before, done plenty of waiting and vanishing now would be downright cruel. Though, ultimately, if he were called he'd have no problems leaving. Ferid calls him and he won't look back, it's only natural at this point for him to respond even if the possibility of being stood up is high.
At least that's what he tells himself.
But he leaves and... surprise, as soon as he's gone is he back. It feels odd to return to a hotel, wasn't it more common for humans to only stay one night? But he's not complaining, he's got a bag in one hand and without so much as a knock is he using the only key to enter the room. Apparently a little groggy, the sun does that despite the ring around his arm, but otherwise fine. And hey, upon closer inspection Aoba may or may not be able to realize that that's certainly not milk in the clear bag. ]
no subject
well... a shower sounds really good right now. doesn't Crowley want one too? yet the vampire seems completely fine; does he just not sweat like a human would?
not thoughts Aoba's going to spend forever on. he does just that, trudges into the bathroom despite the way his muscles complain and drags himself into a hot shower. lathering up thick with soap and scrubbing away the remnants of their night together feels good, even if he likes having Crowley's scent all over.
and he's not out soon enough to be waiting when the vampire returns—dang, he's not Crowley, he's Wile E. Crowlyote. but it's only a moment later that the sound of the knob's being turned and the sound of the shower goes out. Aoba's left his clothes across the bed, not having even thought about them when he dragged himself into the bathroom in the first place, so when he steps out it's with a towel knotted around his waist, smelling of clean skin and soap. )
Welcome back. ( well, he's not displeased to have Crowley back so soon. and of course he looks downward suspiciously, ready to recoil at even the shape of a milk carton. but it looks safe and he lets free a little sigh of relief. ) So what did you get?
( since they both knew he was looking for milk right then. is it donuts???// )
no subject
There's a reason why they had a law for not interacting with humans. He's certain it's not just general annoyance but for him that's one of them.
He's just glad to be back. ]
First, I got that sandwich thing you were talking about. [ And then he's reaching into the bag with his free hand. ] And orange juice. That good enough?
[ He's grinning, shifting his weight onto one foot. ]
How was your shower?
no subject
( he hadn't realized how dang ravenous he was until... well... literally just now. the smell of the breakfast sandwich wafting has his stomach growling almost embarrassingly loud, but he's too famished to care. )
Better than great!
( Aoba hangry. though that's only half the reason he's pressing closer, the other half because Crowley's cute with his grin, and he can't help but getting into the vampire's space. )
It was good. Are you sure you don't... ( drifts, and then redirects; if Crowley wanted to take a shower he would've. ) ... I'm glad you came back so fast. I almost missed you.
( almost. he offers a little grin of his own before making a grab for the bag, ready to tear into everything in there like a savage. Aoba, put some clothes on before you eat food, don't be a freak. )
no subject
Showering isn't necessary for us vampires, by the way.
[ He's going to give Aoba space, however, moving to the edge of the bed and sitting there. ]
Though I'll probably take one before I have to leave.
no subject
I know vampires are... different, but you really don't need to shower? Even after all that?
( as he munches into the sandwich, doing his best to gather the napkins around its base so he doesn't make a big ole mess. )
Won't you smell like me? ( ........ wait a second, ) I—I mean, I sweat and, you know... even if you don't, we were... touching. And, you know. It's dirty... it doesn't just, vanish? ( pause, mumble mumble, ) I don't know.
( as he takes another aggressive bite of his sandwich. )
Even if you'll probably do it anyway...
( .... and then Crowley definitely won't smell like Aoba. why's that vaguely disappointing? )
no subject
If it concerns you that much I'll take one~ Not that I'm complaining, it's been a little while since the last time I've gotten dirty.
[ And he's shooting a mischievous look over at Aoba. As if he's that cat in the knife meme. ]
Chew a little slower before you choke.
no subject
takes a slow, giant bite
and chews. )
... Mmfh.
( it's not even like he should be surprised by any of this at this point. it makes sense... probably... that his body would process things differently. even if it actually makes no sense to Aoba at all. well, whatever—Crowley's always going to be something of an enigma. )
You don't... have to, or anything. If you don't want to. It's fine if you smell like me for a while longer.
( oh, he said it. but Crowley's always encouraged him to say what he wants, so he won't take this back. )
no subject
[ Curved brows and a crooked smile, it’s difficult to tell whether or not Crowley means any actual offense if it’s based purely on his expression alone. His tone is light, as it usually is, however, and that alone makes it obvious that he’s only teasing once more. Unsurprisingly. ]
I might actually have to shower. [ He crosses his arms across his chest. ] Knowing you you’ll get all hot and bothered again~ And if it’s right before we leave I’ll take a quick one just so I can get the sweat off of me.
[ Why is he like this??? ]
