( whine whine whine. it's been maybe, like. five. ten minutes. that's ten minutes too long, and floyd's thankful at least for the only comforting thing right now as jade pokes and prods at him: the coolness of the pool as he sits with both legs dangling in the water. )
For now, that is all I can verify from appearance alone. It is quite curious how you're the only one affected.
( though judging by what had happened just... a few days ago, it's not too surprising. figures whatever else they would be subjected to, they wouldn't share the same symptoms. it is, for all it's worth, unsettling.
he does, then, pull back one of his sleeves, revealing the pristine skin of his wrist. scandalous. )
( scandalous indeed. well, it's not as if being all touchy-feely with each other was anything new.
more importantly, jade just totally avoided his question. avoided it AND gave him an order. he's pressing his lips together in an act of childish annoyance as he pictures himself lovingly shoving his twin into the deep end. drown, bitch.
... anyway. )
Eugh. So you can bleed out in the pool? I don't wanna clean up the mess. Forget it.
( wow? talk about being unhelpful. he's trying to do something here, floyd. using braincells. at least one of the twins has two. )
Floyd.
( it comes out in a little scolding tone, albeit hardly something he truly means. figures, if anything, this could be just another symptom of sanguis. making people more baby. )
Do you want to injure me enough that I would bleed out to death? ( mental note: probably more aggressive. now that's fun. ) A tiny scratch only. I will let you go after that. Would that please you?
( and when he looks at jade, hunched forward towards the water's edge, he looks up from under his eyelids, truth told in the way he touches and grips tightly to jade's wrist.
he isn't one to wear a mask and have people chip away at his feelings, after all, and so it's pretty clear there's something more dangerous than usual blazing bright behind that gold of his. )
... but whatever. Fine.
( he relents in the end, soft to jade's persistence at times, because... okay. the sooner he gives in and abides to his whims the faster he can take a nice, relaxing dip. he drags a claw or two down the back of jade's open palm, clearly concentrating so as not to go overboard given his temperament. )
You would break my heart in such ways? After all we have done?
( sniff sniff. such crocodile tears.
joke aside, he does notice floyd has to measure his own strength. it's a curious little thing, because he doesn't think for a moment that his other half would sell him to the devils. the smell of blood is tempting to him as a natural predator, but— he raises his wrist towards floyd. )
( he actually looks like he's taking this seriously, head tilting slightly to the side as the answer rolls knowingly on his tongue.
there's just, something more pressing than a response at first. his throat is suddenly too dry to swallow as jade lifts and displays his wrist, confusion and hunger as plain as the nose on his face.
—all that blood at once wasn't just red. it was beautiful, and far, far more enticing than usual.
he takes jade's hand, gently, almost like a prince greeting his princess as she descends to the second to bottom step, only to start licking it clean. )
( he hadn't quite seen that coming, and it tells much that he needs to know. the chroma feels nice, but his body doesn't respond the same way it did, only a few days ago. he is not touch-starved, attention-starved. he reacts as he would any other time, a little surprise but more curiosity than anything.
'tasty' is a way to put it. figures, though, that they'd call any sort of blood tasty. figures, even more, that floyd would think his blood is tasty. )
I thought you were opposed to cleaning up my blood. ( how contradictory of you, mr leech. ) But that is all. Sanguis amplifies your senses, it seems. Have you been holding yourself back?
( it does feel nice, that warmth tickling up his spine and then down into the pit of his stomach. nice until he recognizes the knowledgeable, no-nonsense tone in jade's voice again, at least, reminding him that this is all just an experiment to determine what's wrong—to test the limits of a sanguis.
well. he's being good, for now, even as something discouraging tugs thick rope around his lungs. being good means being with jade, and as that thought settles in heavy so does his disappointment and frustration. much to think about, especially considering what they've been through lately.
he pouts. )
I mean, I didn't put much thought into whatever my blessing did 'cause it sounded like a pain, but... it's almost like I can smell everything now. All the humans doing nasty stuff on the beach, our neighbor having her monthly curse or whatever, whoever's been feeling up on you... — all of it. It's not like I can help it.
( smell everything, huh. so even if jade did lie — not that he would, not right now —, floyd would be able to tell when sanguis affects him. that's certainly interesting. he's hyper-aware of his surroundings, and jade can only wonder when floyd would explode, overwhelmed by all these senses.
something for the future them to worry about. )
As a thought. Heightened senses. You're becoming more sensitive to your surroundings. Fufu. Almost as though you're a prey in the middle of a chase.
( it's a rhetorical question. of course floyd doesn't enjoy it, as much as he didn't enjoy it when him and azul had to quite little wriggle him out for important reasons. he doesn't like being used, even for knowledge. even for a greater good.
a reward, huh... he thinks of what kind of rewards would please floyd. he knows many, of course, but none entirely suitable right. there's something else, instead, that might put a band-aid over recent wounds.
so there goes a hand, surprisingly gentle on his twin's cheek, turning his head in his direction, and their lips touch far more innocently than any would have thought of them. )
Indeed. You behaved quite well, my little guinea pig.
( my... my.... my. it repeats back and forth like the beginnings of a song in floyd's head, desire lapping at the edge of each wave of emotion the instant soft lips press against his.
ah.
he's quick to react ( impulsive, one might say—always impulsive, ) to the sensation of it, one clawed hand cupping the rosy warmth of jade's cheek while the other entwines tight into his hair and forces him into the right angle for another kiss, albeit a lot more bruising and breathless this time.
he lets go when he's done, licking his lips before a lazy, satisfied smile crosses his face. )
Ahah. ♡ My bad, Jade... another thing totally slipped my mind. ( it didn't ) I've been getting waaay more worked up than usual lately so you'd better be careful, eheh...
Now I'm so in the mood to do it and it's all your fault. Being a Sanguis sure is rough, huh.
Edited (goddamn i hate repetition ) Date: 2020-07-02 07:36 am (UTC)
( it doesn't entirely catch him off guard, no. it's not a surprise either, for some reason. he should've seen it coming. he theorized, guessed it would happen, because floyd is possessive, more prone to jealousy. he wouldn't think it strange if he pinned him down right there and decided to fuck him senseless.
it does, at the very least, feel nice. he has gotten used to this, to intimacy and kisses and floyd being possessive. he has gotten used to manipulative thoughts and what ifs, playing-pretend with his imagination about a world where he, too, uses floyd's lust for him as a weapon.
he licks his lips, and tastes the prospect of something he wouldn't quite do. not yet. )
My, is puberty still affecting you? You weren't as enthusiastic about it until this place.
( which isn't his fault, truly. but his smile is still coy, almost teasing. it'd be a lie to say he doesn't enjoy it as well. )
Don't tell me you've gotten addicted to how I taste?
( the absolute fuckin' call-out of every impulse of his unperformed youth. his cheeks pink slightly over jade's statement, and while it's only been a couple weeks...
he can still recall the sweet crimson of fresh blood and the way he held a writhing, defenseless jade to him and filled secret places left unseen. he can still recall how much he liked it, how he would eat him raw if he had to, and — he didn't want that to stop. it always felt weird whenever they weren't around each other, anyhow, just wanting... close, but not so close, but close enough to make someone uncomfortable.
phew. )
Mmh... maybe~.
( anyone else would've gotten pinned to the wall for embarrassing him, and not in the sexy way. augh. he's searching for something to say, predictable, but it all comes out far less aggressive than a mere moment ago. )
If I was, would you be mad?
( or would he just... drag that stupid goby out of his hiding spot and take him instead? they're close enough to where he can hide all the embarrassment and jealousy by burying his face into jade's shoulder, rubbing it back and forth in denial. )
Buuut... it's not like I wanna stop or anything. You're one of the only people I can stand getting this close. ( well, that, and it felt ridiculously good inside jade. let's be real. )
( mad? not at all. he'd be unsurprised, truly. his hand is gentle on the back of floyd's head, delicate fingers playing with the strands of his hair. he has this power over people now, he knows. this manipulative desire to make them lust for him, floyd included. maybe he could use this, in a nearby future. )
I feel the same. You, and Azul. We don't need anyone else.
( certainly not a vulnerable, mute little boy who was unfortunate to be the astella jade needed. but jade shoos it away from his mind, because the now is about floyd and jade. it's about them, where they stand, and how they've always been together. this place won't change it. )
If you were to become addicted to me... Wouldn't you simply make me addicted to you as well, Floyd?
( it's not a matter of whether he can, or if he wants to. he knows this is how floyd works, after all. knows that either they have each other, or no one can have them. )
( the spark in that moment and the hand in his hair—it settles him strangely, no matter how hungry, no matter how hot. his carnal appetite can wait a little longer ( until it's too much, at least, and then he's clawing and pulling at jade's hips ). he smiles into that shoulder and then laughs after pulling away, still enjoying the affectionate headpat no matter the underlying reason for it. )
Eheh... it's true that no one really knows me like you do.
( and of course he knew that jade wouldn't be mad, but it was fun to ask anyway, like this is all just another little game. whatever kept it interesting.
whatever kept him focused on wanting and not the traces of something more annoying lurking in the pit of his stomach. something more serious. )
'cause of course I would. I'd mess you aaall up until you could barely even stand. You wouldn't have time to think about anything else. Not even Azul. Not even whatever fun thing you're thinking that you won't tell me.
