middaeg | [closed] i walked across an empty land

[ Actually it's not the nose against cheek that is weird or strange. Sora does this all of the time. Even the habit of taking in a deep breath. By now Vanitas has figured out it's something of a reassurance thing.

He's already putting his hand on Sora's head. Between the ears. ]

Not a chance. I'm going to overheat.

[He lets out a tiny chitter. It's not near the new moon yet... But he's feeling fussy still. So he keeps inhaling softly. It is reassuring and it makes it clear that Vanitas is here.

Still, he taps one foot like a rabbit would when a bit irritated.]

I want everything in here to smell like us.

[ He rubs his hand between those ears. If Sora wants his scent, then Sora is going to get his scent. Vanitas certainly doesn't mind that. Let's other Monsters know who this little Puca belongs to. ]

Almost everything in this room smells like us, brat.

[ What's gotten into him...? ]

[It feels good to be pet!! So much that Sora nuzzles some more and then suddenly drops his head so that his nose is touching Vanitas' neck.]

It's not really enough, though.

[Sora, of course, it is! Why so greedy!]

[ See, the cheek is one thing. Vanitas isn't going to be startled by that. But the nose to the neck sends a shudder down his spine. He has to take a steadying breath before he can even think to speak.

Bad Puca. ]

There's no way to get things to smell even more like us than they already do.

[ He sighs. ]

Go finish unpacking.

[Perhaps call it Sora's monster tendencies or something else but as soon as Vanitas sighs Sora chitters. He pulls on Vanitas and then suddenly nips at Vanitas neck once. Like a love bite but a little harder.

As soon as he does that he pulls up and frowns quickly.]

Ah- Erm. Okay! Sorry...!

[Why did he do that???]

[ Now Vanitas doesn't yelp or do anything like that. He does, however, slap a hand against his neck.

Then look at Sora like the Puca has lost his mind a little ]

What was that for?

I dunno-! I kind of felt like it!

[Sora, that's not an explanation. But he's busy flustering and going back to his box to start unpacking the rest of his things.

Even if he has this weird itch tickling him. His lips are tingling.]

It's probably going to leave a mark...

[ Vanitas rubs at his neck a little bit longer. However he isn't really offended by this at all. Not put off by the slightest.

Now he is, however, a little concerned. ]

Are you all right?

I'm fine! Totally and completely fine!

[His ears are twitching. He turns around from his packed box with a few items held up in his arms.]

I just feel a little itchy. It's probably just the air or something.

Sora.

[ He's not fine. That's Van's "I don't believe you so stop it" tone. So he crosses the distance and reaches to grab for Sora's ear.

Now. You better tell him what's really going on here. ]

Yeowch!

[It doesn't even hurt that much when he's grabbed by the ear. Sora's just tilting his head in that direction with an overdramatic noise.]

It's nothing, I'm really fine!!

[He's going to swat at Vanitas a bit.]

I just feel like I-- [Blush.] I can't get close enough to you right now?! I don't know, maybe it's the moon coming soon??

[ At least it isn't the ear with the earring in it. So as Sora swats, Vanitas continues to tug just a little bit. ]

If it's really just that you want to be close to me there are ways of doing that.

[ As in... Ways other than biting. ]

Just open your mouth and ask.

[Sora frowns. He knows he should just ask and it would be as simple as that but the itch is feeling is somehow deeper.]

No, it's not like that. It's like...

[Sora hums.]

It's like I wanna put a mark on you that won't go away.

Okay then...

[ So that's what it is. Sora's instincts must be telling him to do something and Sora himself is struggling with how to deal with it. It's not like this sort of thing hasn't happened a few times. Though he doesn't know what leaving behind a permanent mark could mean.

Still, he meanders over to the bed and takes a seat. ]

So go ahead.

[ Now Vanitas doesn't think that Sora can actually do it but... ]

Though I have a few from you already. Unless this is something different.

[That is exactly what he's struggling with the most. Vanitas and Sora share a lot of things. Not to mention their shared matching earrings that are very public displays that they're a pair. Yet there is still something that is itching under Sora's skin like he has to do something more. He's just not sure exactly what would satisfy this needy feeling he's having. ]

I don't know, I just know since Riku and Kairi left it's felt like everything's all jumbled up.

[His heart, his magical signature, his wants...? It's why Sora wants to be here instead of his last residence. So he comes to Vanitas and sits next to him close enough that they're touching.]

I think what I want is something different. Something more?

[He leans close to Vanitas, his nose twitching.]

[ Jumbled up feelings. He can't relate to it in the same sense that Sora is describing. All he can really equate it to is if Sora and Mira were to leave him behind. Even then, Vanitas doesn't actually know what he would feel. He's never had anything to lose before. Never had a sense of loss. ]

Isn't that considered normal?

[ To be all confused and twisted in this situation? To want them near and yet be happy that they are where they are meant to be? For Sora it must be difficult, especially knowing that he can't exactly be by their side upon return to their "home."

As for something different? Something more? Vanitas clicks his tongue. ]

"Something more" isn't very specific. I do let you get away with a lot unless it's putting yourself into harm's way.

[ In other words, figure it out and maybe he can do something! ]

Yeah, I guess so.

[Sora tilts his head with a faint blush starting to warm at his cheeks. It's normal to miss Riku and Kairi of course. Vanitas luckily is still here with him so it eases the ache that he feels. But furthermore, it seems to be heightening this feeling of... need. He's trying to follow his instincts as much as he can so there aren't any chances that Sora might actually go feral or have any monster-self issues. But it's hard to listen to instincts when he doesn't know what he's supposed to be doing.

So for now he leans close, nose touching at Vanitas' cheek again.]

It's kind of like... [Sora's voice gets a bit breathy as he feels the itch get itchier.] I need to make you mine.

[But they already belong to each other...? Sora's gaze drops to Vanitas' neck where he bit before.]

Um. Maybe that's not the right word. It's more like I want to make you my ... mate?

[What an embarrassing thing to think!]

[ Not want. Need. That's how Sora is phrasing it right now. Vanitas hums, not quite sure what all that entails. ]

I am already. [ Just as much as Sora is his and only his. At least this is the sentiment that Vanitas has regarding things. He's so very casual on how he says it. ] Just like you're mine.

[ He feels Sora at his cheek. Van now reaches out and wraps an arm around the Puca's waist. Maybe the Witch draws him in a bit closer. This part, these nice feelings that are generated by their proximity to one another, has always been addicting for Vanitas. Sora might have a thing about magic, but Vanitas is absolutely obsessed with positive physical contact. ]

So what does that entail, exactly? Becoming your mate...

[ Hey now. Vanitas doesn't rightfully know! ]

[As soon as the arm wraps around his waist it triggers yet another needy moment and Sora lets out a low chittering noise that sounds almost like a soft dangerous growl. Then he simply moves to straddle Vanitas' hips like they have so many times before.]

It's uh... [They can't even do the thing that Sora's itching to do. Why does it itch so much?] I guess it's like letting me leave something of me inside of you.

[This is so embarrassing. Regardless, he nips at Vanitas' lip.]

[ But it really is a habit by now, isn't it? Vanitas likes the closeness. Seeks it. What is his, again, is his and he doesn't really want to let go of it. In a sense, Vanitas is obsessive and so very possessive. That is why a part of him is rather pleased that the other friends are gone. Now he can have this little bit of Light to himself and all to himself.

To hear Sora also want to make some sort of claim, to also kind of delve into the same feelings that Vanitas has? It sure does give him a bit of a thrill. To be desired. Wanted... Valued and needed. Of course Vanitas is a greedy little sponge that is going to soak it all up.

Though now he is starting to feel Sora's discomfort over their bond. A need to do something about this strange itch... ]

I fail to see why you are struggling with this. If you need to, then just do it.

[ It's just that simple! Even with the nip to his lip, all he really does is pull Sora closer against him and nip back. ]

Stop thinking so hard.

[Sora hums softly, rocking close to Vanitas and enjoying the feeling of teeth tugging on lips.]

But I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Besides wanting to touch you some more!

[That's why he's thinking so hard! His nerves are a little shaky, wanting, needing, all at once. Vanitas pulls him in and he can't help but give into those feelings of wanting each other. It's just too strong.

He huffs softly.]

I just need to figure it out.

[He finally kisses Vanitas.]

[ Well that just encourages him to slide both arms now around the other.]

You won't find me complaining about that. [ Not anymore and not in a long time. ] Take your time, brat.

[ This time it's Vanitas taking a moment to nuzzle just under the Puca's jaw. It's Van that leaves a gentle bite. He isn't sure how he can actually ease these monster instincts. How can the other leave something of himself behind? The only way that Vanitas can think of has already been done - through their bond. However he has no issues with Sora doing what he can to try to appease these impulses. In the end, he benefits. ]

You're not leaving any time soon, so what's the rush?

[ Because they share a room now. Their scents are going to continue to be mingled. Perhaps with a little time that urge will fade? Not that it matters right now because Sora is kissing him and Van is kissing back. ]

[Neither of them are going to be leaving anytime soon, right? Sora's heart seems to be so warm and content to hear that. To know that somehow they'll stay together and Sora might not have to wake up one day to find Vanitas gone to somewhere he can't reach.

His fingers come up to Vanitas' cheeks and he holds them gently there as he takes his time to kiss. Lips and tongue playing languidly against the other while his ears twitch backward. He wants to feel more warmth, smell more of Vanitas, hear more of his voice...

If only he could make something with Vanitas...

The thought hits him a little hard, embarrassment flaring as he realizes what it all might mean. Rabbits are known for having high libidos but ... that's because they make babies so fast isn't that right?

Sora beaks the kiss to pout softly, warm breath on lips.]

Yeah. That's right! Ahh... I think for now... Let's finish with unpacking.

[He can't tell Vanitas that he wants to mate with him...]

[ Again, Vanitas really likes these moment. Lips moving against each other. Tongues sliding and tasting at a leisurely pace... Vanitas is actually kind of getting into it, eyes halfway closing and his fingers rubbing small circles against Sora's back. That desire hits him pretty strong and, fortunately or unfortunately for Sora, that want is thrown right back at the Puca.

So when that surge of embarrassment strikes, it's with shock and surprise. Sora's already backing off and it leaves Van blinking and almost stupefied. ]

But... [ He frowns, still in this weird state of desire and trying to figure out what he must have done to change the situation. ] That's not?

[ It's not really what Sora wants? ]
