Aug 10, 2011 19:21

[The Dreamberry clicks on to the sound of footsteps on a creaking ladder. And someone reciting... nursery rhymes?

[Cain is ascending into the attic. He's not aware that he's dropped his phone to the floor or that it's subsequently recording]

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and ( Read more... )

[Oh, Cain, what to do. Have a vaguely amused tone.]

My lord, why didn't you inform me that your shoelaces had loosened, I would have retied them for you?

I will be there shortly.

Video godchild August 10 2011, 23:38:22 UTC

[Cain tsks, though there's the unmistakable pull of a smile as he turned his cheek away and glanced back up at the shadowy attic]

I didn't see the urgency. Poor timing on the part of the shoe.

[He smiles, already on his way up.]

It's quite all right, I had already finished what I was doing. I was actually coming to check on you.

Video godchild August 10 2011, 23:59:05 UTC

Were you? [Cain asked, folding his arms across the rung of the ladder for the present. Even with his back turned, his tone is still obviously lazy and amused]

Are you coming to save me from falling? [Just like Humpty Dumpty, of course. With a happier ending]

Video loyal_judas August 11 2011, 00:12:10 UTC

[Humpty Dumpty never had a knight in armor.]

I would not allow for you to suffer a 'great fall', lord Cain. I will be there to catch you.

[Cain's eyes widen for a moment and he's glad that his head is averted, because it also hides the hint of a blush that rises to his cheeks and fades just as quickly, just a moment of unexpected pleasure. The warmth doesn't leave his eyes, however, as he stares at the wall and addresses Riff through the device]

I trust you will.

[Then a backward glance and a challenging brow, Cain and his playful arrogance] Otherwise, I'll have to start docking your pay.

Action loyal_judas August 11 2011, 00:56:53 UTC

[Amused again, he steps up to the fallen shoe and device, picking both up and offering them to Cain with an affectionate smile.]

I believe these belong to you, lord Cain.

Action godchild August 11 2011, 01:01:22 UTC

Yes, they do. [Cain replied, then turned his cheek again so that he could descend the ladder properly, taking care with his shoeless foot. Once he reached the floor again, he turned around and accepted the Dreamberry, shutting it off and glancing back up at Riff]

Action loyal_judas August 11 2011, 05:54:07 UTC

[Wordlessly, Riff bent down, slipping the shoe onto Cain's foot and tying up the shoelaces, properly this time. Then looked up at Cain.]

There you are my lord, shouldn't come off now.

Action godchild August 11 2011, 10:07:11 UTC

[Cain watched Riff go through the fairly mundane, though familiar task of tying his shoelaces, and when he glanced up again, the earl lifted his right hand without thinking and placed cool fingertips against Riff's cheek]

If it does, you'll return to my side.

Action loyal_judas August 11 2011, 10:16:17 UTC

[Riff bought one hand up, lightly touching the one at his cheek before rising.]

Always, my lord.

Action godchild August 11 2011, 10:50:01 UTC

[The warmth was in his eyes again as Cain lifted to chin to keep them level with Riff's face. He enjoyed the warmth of his bigger hand, leaving it there against his cheek, though it was a touch awkward standing like that now. Making it less awkward, Cain stepped forward and leaned into the man, burying his nose in the lapel of his jacket, breathing in Riff and perhaps the fading scent of laundry]

Action loyal_judas August 11 2011, 19:14:36 UTC

[Riff smiled slightly and raised a hand to lightly touch Cain's shoulder in what was almost a hug.]

Lord Cain...

Action godchild August 11 2011, 21:06:51 UTC

Come with me into the attic. I have plans for it. [Cain instructed, and just like that, he resumed his role as the lord and master, lifting his head and turning around to ascend the latter once more, expecting Riff to follow, naturally]

Re: Action loyal_judas August 25 2011, 19:23:03 UTC

Of course, my lord.

[He waited till Cain had safely ascended to the attic before following up.

What exactly did you have in mind?

Action godchild August 25 2011, 19:36:48 UTC

[Cain was waiting inside the shadowy warmth of the attic for Riff to ascend the ladder, listening patiently to the wooden stairs creaking while seemingly inspecting the rafters.

[Once Riff spoke, he turned around to face him, face very serious, the light from the second floor just catching the tension in his mouth and the pale angle of his chin. But Cain soon stepped closer to the light, his shoes clicking on the floor, and a long-fingered hand reached out between them, stopping short of Riff's coat. Instead of resting there, it hovered uncertainly.

[Then Cain leaned in, pressing his mouth to Riff's, softening the hard line of his own]
