RPG - Anton & Sulli 3 - Epi.

”Bloody fucking Jack!”

A hiss, accompanied by a groan, sizzles through grit teeth at the pain that flares in his hand when Ariya removes another glass shard. She sighs and gives him a look that tells him to be still. It’s not easy, though, when both of his hands are full of glass.

“I swear, sometimes I’d choke him if it wouldn’t hurt me too,” he

Ariya sighs as she pulls another piece of glass from his hand. "If you wouldn't aggravate him unnecessarily, this wouldn't happen," she says. "You know he's prideful, you know he's not going to accept even when he needs it, and you yet you see the need to push him anyway. Honestly, Sullivan, sometimes I think you enjoy being constantly beat up by him."

[timbits_tootsie]

“Only when I get sex out of it,” he spits angrily.

Then, suddenly, he visibly deflates, the anger gone in an instant to be replaced by something sadder and much more uncertain. “It’s not that I like to anger him. Honestly, it’s not. It’s just…Does he even trust me?”

It is a doubt that has nagged him for a long time.

He winces at the sharp sting in his thumb as she begins to extract the smaller, trickier shards from the soft flesh between thumb and forefinger. “I want him to rely on me. I want…I want him to show that he needs me,” he says softly.

[antonnachzehrer]

She sighs, and levels him with a serious look. "You know he's not going to do that," she says, setting her tweezers down so she can extract the rest of the glass by magic. "He hates to rely on anyone, Sullivan, you included. Trying to make him see that he can is just going to piss him off. You need to let him come to you."

[timbits_tootsie]

”I know, Ariya. I know.” He sighs. “I need to to something about this temper of mine before he kills me.”

Skin heals up smoothly once the glass is gone, dark blood being reabsorbed to become part of him again. He flexes his fingers experimentally. “Thanks. I’ll apologize later, when he has cooled down a bit.”

[antonnachzehrer]

She nods, taking the bowl of glass and the tweezers. "I thinks its time to start dinner," she says. "Do you want to help me?"

{I've got to run some errands, love. I'll be back in a bit. Don't stay up on account of me.}

[timbits_tootsie]

“Yeah.”

In the kitchen Ariya tells him what they need, and he finds it for her and lends her a hand chopping up rotting vegetables. Comfortable silence settles over them; he is accustomed to it when with her, and oddly, it never bothers him. His thoughts keep straying to Anton, though.

This time they were both in the wrong, but he knows that he will be the one to make amends for it in the end. Anton does not apologize unless he feels guilty, and hardly then, even.

(Alright. I might be up- I just discovered two new slash anime Ovas I have not watched, and there's no school tomorrow :O)

[antonnachzehrer]

She makes monkey brain stew and rice, bringing a plate to Master Anton in his study because she knows that he will not eat with them, not if he's angry with Sullivan. Regardless, they have a nice dinner and talk about inane, pointless things that make them happy.

When dinner is done, and Sullivan is helping her with the dishes, she asks, "Are you going to apologize tonight?" She likes to know before hand, because the bedrooms in the Duhollow house are not as far apart as the ones in Mahon.

{What's a slash anime Ova?}

[timbits_tootsie]

“Yeah, I am.” Whenever Anton is angry with him he can’t be at ease; through the Bond he can feel that anger as a sort of buzzing under his skin, a faint itch that can’t be scratched. He hates that period of time between a fight and making up.

They dry the dishes and put them away, and Sullivan glances at the watch in his pocket- it’s eight in the evening. It might be too early to seek him out, or it might not.

(Ova means original video animation, I think? It's like a movie or an extra episode to an anime. They make ovas for a lot of slash manga instead of full series. And poor, poor Ariya, XD. She probably gets to hear a lot of...unwanted noises since Sulli's a moaner.)

[antonnachzehrer]

"I'm going out, then," she says, putting the last of her things away and striding to the front door. She pauses there for a moment and then adds, "Please try not to break the table this time," before grabbing her coat and heading out.

{Cool! What are your favorite slash mangas/animes? She's gotten kind of used to it by now, but the first time it happened she spend all night staring at her wall with her pillow valiantly trying to block her hearing. XD}

[timbits_tootsie]

That last comment makes a fierce blush rise in his cheeks. Well, if the table breaks tonight it will hardly be the first time. Or the second, for that matter. He brushes the hair out of his eyes, irritated at how long it has become. Then, after taking a moment to steel himself, he goes to knock on the door to the study.

“May I come in, Anton?”

(My favourite manga ones are mild slash, actually. They're called Tokyo Babylon, Vassalord, Loveless and many one shots. For anime, it's Mirage of Blaze and...Uh, I totally can't remember any of the others right now. My mind blanked out. Wow. What are yours? :3 And I can imagine she didn't dare to look either of them in the eyes the following day, either. XD. And Sulli's got a little pony tail now!)

[antonnachzehrer]

Anton looks up at the door, frowning. He can't decide if he wants to see Sullivan right now or not, stupid brat. "What do you want?" he says finally.

{Junjou Romantica, specifically the Junjou Egoist story arc. Hiroki and Nowaki just really get to me. Ooh, cool! I can see him in it, he looks very artsy. *nodnod*}

[timbits_tootsie]

”Today…I was in the wrong. I apologize for that. I wasn’t trying to start an argument, however much it seemed like it. I let my temper get the better of me,” he says. “I don’t want us to be arguing. I just…I want us to be okay.”

(Oh, I love Hiroki!! Not so fond of the pairings in the series, but the individual characters make me squee :D Also, got to love Gravitation and Yami no Matsuei. The latter can be seen as slashable. *hugs Sulli*)

[antonnachzehrer]

He looks at him, not saying anything for a long time, which he an tell makes Sullivan nervous. Finally, he sighs as goes back to his work. "We're never okay," he mumbles, but the words lack any heat. They do never seem to be able to function normally around each other, are always fighting and often times get violent, and he hates it sometimes, but he knows it isn't going to change. And honestly, part of him doesn't want it to.

{Hiroki/Nowaki is the only one I like, and really the only one I keep read at this point. Gravitation is win, but I've never read Yami no Matsuei. Alright, love, I've got to go to bed. Early day tomorrow. :3 Sweet dreams~}

[timbits_tootsie]

Relief shows on his face. He walks over to stand behind his chair and puts his hands on Anton’s shoulders. They are tense under his fingers, muscles knotted from too much paperwork and their fight, so he kneads them carefully, trying to loosen him up a bit

[antonnachzehrer]

He shivers slightly at the touches to her ear, cursing the boy for knowing exactly where he is most sensitive. "I didn't say I didn't want you," he mumbles, and half hopes Sullivan didn't hear him.

{Yup! I'll being replying sporadically until about 6 pm my time. School calls.}

[timbits_tootsie]

“I know." He straightens up and lets his hands wander to Anton’s hair, fingers moving to undo the ponytail and trail through the salt and pepper strands. They are soft between his fingers, unlike his own hair, and he loves doing this when the man will let him.

“You’re a stubborn bastard, but for what it’s worth…” A smile tugs up the corners of his mouth as he cups his chin with the other hand to tilt his head back. Yellow eyes meet his. “I want you too.”

He kisses him.

(Okay :3)
