Alucard's not a vampire here. That's me.

[ Just going to politely correct her there. But... hearing what she says is... nice. Really. So much, in fact, that he lets his head rest against hers. ]

But... thanks. I guess. Not for calling me an asshole but, you know.

[ Everything else. ]

[strongspirited]

He was raised as one.

[She politely and promptly leans against him, resting her hand on his hip and letting out a little sigh.]

I'll be here for you, Trevor. I promised you that a while ago, and I stand by that. It will be alright. I'll make sure that...ice box...contraption is full of blood.

[quickwhip]

[ That gets him to smile a bit. ]

Stuff is weird here, isn't it?

[ But, as she leans against him, he gently comes to set his hand over hers, quietly letting fingers lace together. ]

Guess I'm stuck with you then. [ He murmurs softly, smiling as he says it. ] Can't say I really mind.

[strongspirited]

Of course.

[She links her fingers tightly to his, squeezing gently.]

You're like a barnacle. And you're my barnacle, so I'm not going to let you go anywhere.

[It's a compliment, promise.]

You'll come through this just fine.

[quickwhip]

[ The squeeze to his fingers gets him to look a little more properly at her and, while silent, he... knows. Knows that she means it. That she'll be there for him. No matter what.

He smiles, hand still holding hers and hums a bit then before he drops his head, just enough to have it loll close to her. ]

Would I... be overstepping my boundaries if I wanted to kiss you?

[strongspirited]

[She almost laughs. Almost.]

Not at all. But it would be overstepping if you didn't ask me before you did it.

[She's...mostly teasing. Mostly.

She'd like to kiss him, but she would definitely like some warning.]

[quickwhip]

Better safe than sorry with you.

[ He teases her as a finger weakly curls a strand of her hair around it, before he lets that same finger drop to caress the apple of her cheek. Soft. Tender. A gentle smile touching at his lips before he lets himself lean in and brushes his lips over hers for a kiss which is just as soft as the touch he gives her. ]

[strongspirited]

[He's learning. Good boy.

Sypha leans into his touch, not hesitant about this in the slightest. Kissing is still a new-ish experience for her, but she likes to think she's getting pretty comfortable with it.

Her return kiss is gentle, tender, and sweet, her lips moving to meet his. Her eyes flutter closed, her hands reach up to cup his cheeks, and she smiles when she pulls away.]

You're getting pretty good at that.

[quickwhip]

[ Blindly, he almost chases after her when her lips slip away from his but he comes to slowly let blue eyes lazily open as he stares to her in a sort of daze. Are her kisses just that good to him? Maybe. But her words have him blinking a little in confusion and he pulls back some to look at her a little... better. ]

Kissing you? Or kissing in general?

[ Yes, there's a difference here. ]

[strongspirited]

Considering I have no idea how well you kiss anyone else...let's just say me.

[The bond doesn't convey annoyance, per say, but her eyes do get that flat, almost theatrical look in them for a moment.]

It could just be the bond, though.

[quickwhip]

[ Right. That's.. probably for the best anyways. So. Yeah. Just going to awkwardly rub at his neck a bit there before h finally comes to fall back against the bed. ]

It's... not like I go around kissing whoever the hell is around, you know. So.. I wouldn't worry about it.

[strongspirited]

You'd better not.

[He'd so better not.]

I'm not sure having my Bonded running around kissing just anyone would reflect well on me. It means I'm not doing enough.

[quickwhip]

[ Despite his having fallen back onto the bed and intending to close his eyes so he can just rest, hearing that prevents him from doing so and, instead, he tilts his head with a raised brow as he looks over to his... partner. ]

Doing enough of what, exactly?

[strongspirited]

Kissing, I suppose. Or keeping you out of trouble.

[Obviously!]

[quickwhip]

Shouldn't that be me keeping you out of trouble?

[ Yet even as he teasingly asks, he reaches out for his wrist, wanting to pull her down with him. ]

[strongspirited]

I don't think so, Treffy.

[Going for the nickname.

She falls down onto the bed with him though.]

You're usually the one that needs a diplomatic touch.

[quickwhip]

[ Ergh that "name" right there. ]

Is that... the only kind of touch I need?

[ And he sure does raise a brow. Curious with her answer. ]

[strongspirited]

[She walks her fingers up his arm slowly, the teasing smile never dropping.]

No. Not at all.

[quickwhip]

[ That... that might get him to blink a couple times. Maybe even a smile to touch his lips, despite how tired he looks. ]

Whaaaaat kind of other touch were you thinking?

[strongspirited]

Something a little more tender.

[Her fingers complete their walk and reach his cheek, cupping it gently.]

The world has been unkind to you, Trevor. You deserve a little tenderness.

[quickwhip]

[ Her cradling of his cheek gets him to turn his face into that hand so gently touching him, blue eyes lazily looking to her. ]

Nothing I can't handle, right?

[strongspirited]

No, I think you'll manage just fine. But...I'd rather you didn't have to, you know?

[She cares. She cares a lot, trevor.]

[quickwhip]

[ That gets him to chuckle softly, eyes falling shut and he lazily rolls on his side a bit, letting an arm wrap around her, wanting her close. ]

You're here now. So I don't have to worry, right?

[strongspirited]

Exactly! I can keep you out of trouble, and you can keep on getting into trouble without any worry.

[She leans into it, laying up against him happily. No regrets theree.]

[quickwhip]

[ As before, he chuckles softly, letting the tips of his fingers lazily caress at her back. ]

So that's the plan, is it?

[ A hum, he settles against her a little more comfortably. Feeling... calm. ]

What would I do without you?
