Four Months. It had been four months since Yeonseok had decided to take a chance on Hanseol Park. Yeon didn't know exactly what it was about Han that drew him in but from that day they had stuck quite the interesting friendship, mostly they just annoyed one another to death but it worked for them. For the most part, their meetings had been about trying track down the person behind the attack on Hanseol before they met, while Yeon hadn't been there himself he had managed to pry out of the celestial how worried he was for his own safety and the other celestials in the city and that had been enough to get him on board.
It hadn't been an easy investigation considering they had to work around Yeon's crazy and constantly changing schedule, he had seen more time on a plane in the past few months than he had in years before that, he didn't mind traveling but the constant flights with his travel sickness made things exhausting for him, work was slowly draining and considering he hadn't been able to get much relief lately he found himself getting pretty stressed and worked up over little things lately. He had become more and more snappy with the people around him, especially Han who was probably the person he talked to most, he did his best to rein it in when he found himself doing it but it was hard when the other male liked to talk about his significant other often and how happy the two of them were together.
Don't get Yeon wrong, he was happy for Hanseol and his significant other who he'd managed to get the name of after much pushing, Jaesung. Just because he didn't believe in the idea of love for himself didn't mean that he didn't think other people deserved happiness, it just kept reminding him of the fact that things were...difficult in the intimacy department right now. Since he had met that damn snowy-haired blond who had quite literally blown his mind and even now he still hadn't managed to pick up all the pieces. That wasn't Hanseol's fault though so he tried to control his aggravation around him.
But they had, in the time they had known each other and spent together, become pretty good friends, they talked about everything really, it didn't feel like there was a subject that was off limits between the two of them and some of their discussions got quite in depth and heated. Yeon had been pretty majorly involved in encouraging Hanseol and later helping with the expansion of his business, he had gotten the chance to look into how well the clinic was doing in Evermore and make suggestions on how to improve the place. They had many long car journeys together back and forth between Denver and Evermore on the weekends Yeon had free so that the blond valkyr could give input. But really it was also an excuse to spend time together and talk.
Having someone share his mind in a small part unfolded differently than he was expecting it to, he definitely thought he had taken up some of Han's tendencies to worry about other others more and despite not being particularly interested in animals before, he suddenly found himself wanting to stop people on the streets and ask to pet their dogs. The pain thing was a bit of an annoyance because the two of them weren't exactly gentle with themselves, especially when it came bedroom activities, it was hard to know what could be a real danger and what was simply collateral damage. Still, they had agreed on a certain spot on their body to use to communicate if they were in real danger, Yeon's was his right wrist, somewhere he could easily pinch but not somewhere he would typically feel any pain.
He honestly felt like having a Volakiri had been a good thing for him, it forced him to let someone in, he'd already learned pretty quickly that he couldn't lie to Hanseol, or rather, he could but the star would almost instantly be able to tell the insincerity in him. It wasn't without its challenges, they argued a lot because they had quite conflicting personalities and Yeon often pushed Hanseol to come out of his shell which could backfire if the star was feeling especially shy that day. It happened when they were around a lot of strangers usually. Han was stubborn too when his mind got onto something it was very hard to change it or make him see any different. Yeon was getting used to those traits in his friend though, he learned how to ease into topics with the star and to compromise. Most of all though, he found himself caring about the celestial. caring that he was safe and well, interested in hearing about his day or how things were going with Jae, invested in another person, which was very unlike him considering he never really let anyone in. With Han that felt easier though, maybe because they were linked now or maybe it was because he thought the celestial was a decent person.
He was tired as he made his way through the airport, passing through immigration and handing over his papers before collecting his suitcase from the turntable and headed out to the exit. Normally he would get an Uber or taxi back to the studio after a flight and get a nap in but Han had been texting him about some new information he'd found just before Yeon had gotten on the plane and blond had suggested they talk over what he found over a coffee once he got back into Evermore, which then became picking him up from the airport. He knew how much Han actually hated driving, most of the trips to Denver, Yeon had driven but the airport was only about a 30-minute drive from the city. When he got into the arrival lounge his eyes scanned through the crowd of people before they fell on Han, looking a little lost and grumpy at the back of the crowd.
Yeon shuffled his way through the people dragging his pretty compact suitcase behind him before he threw his arm around Hanseol's shoulder "Try not to look like someone just kicked your dog" he commented as he pulled the star along with him a half smile on his face. Despite the long flight and still feeling frustrated as hell, he was glad to be back in Evermore and this time he actually got to stay for a few weeks, the prospect of his own bed instead of hotels and not having to get up at 6 am to go to the airport was enough to tempt his mood to the brighter side. Plus, despite the fact he had just gotten off a plane, he looked good, dressed in black skinny jeans that fitted him perfectly, paired with a white button up and a red blazer, his hair was still it’s usual sandy blond color that he had kept for quite a long time now, he pulled his sunglasses out of his pocket and put them on, already noticing it was bright outside "Alright, I need coffee and I need it now, otherwise I will actually pass out" the valkyr stated leading the way even though he had no idea where Hanseol parked the car.

Was this really him? The real Hanseol Park that no one else knew? Perhaps, not even Yeon? Seeing as he's never shown this side to anyone else he had the chance to call friend, it's hard to discern which is which. But it feels painful to accept that this could be the real him, the one who's still brutally torturing his own boyfriend with words that would cut deeper than any knife or glass. Is Jae even his boyfriend anymore? At this point, he wasn't even sure anymore. It's safe to say that perhaps, after today, he's no longer Jae's and Jae is no longer Han's, as harsh as that sounded, it was the reality of things. The reality of what he had made it out to be without considering his dhampir's feelings. Why? Because he's selfish, he reminded himself.
This is what selfish people do. It's ironic to see how quickly he shifted from being that selfless guy to the selfish person he is currently. What happened? Did the past months changed him? Or has this guy always been a part of Hanseol? Perhaps, this guy was just repressed inside the shell of the person that he portrayed himself to be. The anger dissipated and all that was left is a confused and broken hearted celestial who is just staring at the most important person in his life with sorrowful eyes and a whimper escaping him. How had he been so cruel to him? To the guy he claimed to love? How could he? The celestial had no idea where all that rage came from but it overwhelmed him and strangely enough, he needed to say those words, even if it wasn't true, he just felt the need to say it outloud to Jae, specifically. He had to say them.
All he remembered was flinching and getting scared briefly upon seeing the anger on his boyfriend, the way he had punched his Volakiri earlier until he broke his nose, up until he hurt himself by punching the brick wall. Han could recall every moment perfectly, just like how he could remember every single intricate detail on how he had allowed himself to hurt the dhampir. He wanted to desperately say he is sorry, but a part of him also refrain himself from saying it. It was a direct battle with himself, basically. Not one word went unheard by him, who had then stare at the blue-haired male with a pitiful look that could resemble that of a puppy who just got kicked, one of his signature looks. But even that could not fix anything right now. All that was possible was him not being able to muster a word to respond to Jae.
Silence is a gesture of agreement, and regardless of how he would retaliate in response, Jae had all the points sorted out. He hit it and he's succeeded, only this time, neither one of them had won, because have they really won if they would end up going home only to cry into their pillows? Because he knows that's exactly what he's going to do. ‘I'm a real person, with real feelings, who chose you', those words kept ringing in his ears like a vibration, but it didn't hurt, it was just there to ring over and over again. Not only did he forsake his partner, he had neglected him just as well. Who is he even, now? Even Han couldn't recognize himself. Did he show Jae the side he promised himself to never show to anyone else that he cares for? He wanted so badly to say that he sees him as an equal, but then knew he wouldn't really mean it all 100% because much like what Jae said was right, Hanseol would spend more time trying to put him on the pedestal where no one else is able to crack it.
“I-I... “ the stuttering returned after a while but even then, the fallen star couldn't utter a single word. His words were caught halfway in the glottis, stopping just below her velar. Jae was about to risk his entire future for him? Then, he remembered the things he had done, how he had gifted the dhampir with a spare key to his home, and it hits him. Was that ever going to come true now… after what he's done? He had ruined everything and he feels sad that he was able to fulfill the promise he had made to Jae, which was to always never stop loving and cherish him. Admittedly, despite the harsh treatment he gave the dhampir, the celestial is still very much in love with him, and he still cherishes her, but would not s hi of it because of how irrelevant it sounded now. Love doesn't even sound right, anymore. That was when everything else crashed, quite possibly his entire world too. The moment those words describing him escaped the reins of the male's mouth, Hanseol staggered slightly in his steps as he tried to step forward but one again halted because it just doesn't work that way.
The celestial had no right to do this anymore. It hits him like a wave, so much the tears startling trickling down without him realizing until he was slowly sobbing. Again, that question comes around, what had he done to deserve Jaesung Moon? Only this time, the context and intention was a little bit different than usual, but not necessarily a contrast as a whole. He just lost him. Over this. Once he had called it over, he felt his heart sunk and it was unlike anything else he's ever felt. He could stab himself and he still would feel nowhere near the emotional pain he's going through right now. No more was the ‘it is us against the world' inside joke they have going on. Now it's just an empty space, a void that could never be mended anymore. Jae stole his heart and once he left him, he didn't return it. So here he is, standing clear with his body soaked in the rain, the weather he once hated but grew to love because of the dhampir, wondering if he'll ever redeem himself. He's all you have left, he said. He lost him, either way, in the end. So what good was keeping it a day secret then? Not a few seconds had passed since Jae walked away and Han was already trashing the alley, getting his hands on anything he could find and released all the aggravation inside him as he cried out sorrowfully.
The moment that Jae started to walk away he wanted nothing more than to turn back and run into Hanseol’s arms, he wanted the other male to tell him that everything was going to be okay and they would figure this out together, that they were strong enough to find where they stood as partners. But all he got was nothing, nothing but excuses and words which just made the dhampir feel like he meant nothing at all. Hanseol had told him he loved him but Jae wasn’t even sure the celestial knew what love truly was. He kept walking, wiping at his eyes and taking long and deep breaths to keep himself calm, he didn’t want the world to see him like this, he didn’t want anyone to ask him if he was okay or be nice to him, he didn’t even want Daehyun, all he wanted was to be alone.
He started to run, the rain was still pouring down on him and he was soaked to his skin, it reminded him of that night at the theme park where the two of them had run from the downpour and ended up pinned up against the ticketing booth, they had kissed and then Jae had told Hanseol he loved him. He had so many good memories attributed to the rain now that whenever he saw it, instead of grumbling like everyone else did, it would make him smile and he would think about the good times he and Hanseol. Now it was like the rain was laughing at him, soaking him to his skin and making him cold and shivers took over his body. He hated that this had been ruined for him too, he didn’t know how to breathe and the more he ran the worse he felt.
When he eventually reached the dormitory he pulled up his soaked hood around his ears just so he could hide his face from everyone in the halls, he avoided eye contact as he made his way through the building. He was thinking about all the words he and Hanseol had said to one another that evening and how he had reacted to it all and it made his heart feel cold and stunned in his chest. He had just walked away from the thing that made him feel like the happiest man in the world and while his reasons were justified that didn’t make it hurt any less. It felt like his entire being was numb but on fire at the same time, his emotions eating at him from the inside. He reached the door to the apartment and fumbled with the key a few times before he dropped it onto the floor. He let out a loud cry of frustration which earned him a few judgmental looks from those around him before he picked it up and finally managed to unlock the door.
He ran through the hall to the stupidly tiny room which he supposed would continue to be his home for the foreseeable, he slammed the door behind him before he sank down to curl into a ball, his head snapping back against the door as he finally released the sob which had been threatening to escape from the moment he walked away. Once he started he couldn’t stop, clutching his chest as though there was a hole in it that he couldn’t fill. It hurt so badly because all he had wanted was for Hanseol to tell him something he could believe, something that would give him hope for the future they could have together. Something that told him that he didn’t love the star more than Hanseol loved him back. But he had gotten nothing but harsh comments and excuses.
Jae’s breathing was hysteric as he got to his feet once more and bolted the door so that no one could get in and then he went over to his desk, he found the photo frame with the picture of him and Hanseol in it and set it face down, he didn’t want to see it, he didn’t want to think about it. It was at that moment he spotted his reflection in the mirror from the corner of his eye and he looked back at himself for a few seconds. He didn’t even recognize himself, eyes red and puffy from all the crying, his hand still covered in dried blood from where he had grazed it while punching the wall. His eyes fell on the silver glint of the chain he was wearing around his neck and wrapped his fist around the key that he wore around his neck and hiccuped a little from all the sobbing. He reached for the clasp of the chain and undid it and put in on the desk next to the frame.
And then his eyes finally fell on the opened envelope on his desk and he felt his heart lurch in his chest. All the pictures he had of the future the two of them were going to have was over, gone in a heartbeat. He tried to get control over his sobbing as he reached for the letter and opened it, his eyes looking over the text, he’d already opened and read it before so he didn’t know why exactly he was torturing himself by looking at it now. It was a letter from the lawyer he had been in contact with to get control over the capital gains his grandmother had left to him before he passed. It wasn’t a crazy amount of money but it would have been enough to buy out his student loans and current lease. So he could finally fulfill his promise to Hanseol that he would move in with him and he could finally be financially free from his parents, it was their future in a letter form. And now the ink was tear stained and shaking as Jae held it in his hands and processed the fact that he didn’t need it anymore.
He allowed himself to crumple down onto the bed, the letter falling onto the floor as he curled up into a ball and pressed his face into the pillow, he let out muffled sobs against it, soaking his whole bed and it made him feel cold, but at least he was feeling something, he told himself as he laid there. He didn’t know what to do or how to feel, everything just hurt right now, it hurt so badly, like nothing he’d ever felt before and it made him realize why people were afraid of love. Love was great when you had it but losing it, it felt like losing a part of himself.
Despite looking like they have maximum contrast to one another, the valkyr looking like a whole social butterfly who could mingle with anyone, and get away with it without having to blink a wink to anyone because everyone else is literally under his spell or charms, and then there's the niveis who hates human contact or interaction in general, and would prefer locking himself inside his cabin all day with something to work on or just lounge around because he couldn't be bothered to see tone foot out in the outside world. The only other living being that is not Jae or his sister or Anivia that he actually talks to, would be the plants or animals. He's definitely the go to the kind guy who would rather talk to an animal before anyone who possesses a human anatomy.
Though, admittedly, Daehyun does like those living beings when the situation calls for it, namely whenever he's bored and required entertainment aka resuming his carnal activities. Despite his hedonistic tendencies, Dae doesn't venture that far off into socializing or public places, clubs are definitely no his scene. Bars are understandable since even the elder Stormwind has his days when all he wanted to do is just drink it away, not that it helped at all. But never clubs, it's noisy and it's filled with too many people. The last thing he wanted is to have another human's sweaty body against his own and accidentally freeze the entire room because of the bodily fluids. Yet that contrast of character between the two seemed minimal when it comes to connecting the dots to their similarities instead. Both of them cared deeply for their friends, there wasn't anything he wouldn't do for Jae and the same goes for Yeon with Han. Yeon did have a good point though, it seems very viable. “I think that's actually pretty accurate, at least we won't have to worry about basing our entire life on someone. That's unhealthy,” One day, he's going to eat his words, and that will be his undoing.
Jae might be the first he keeps around, but when he highlighted the friend part, he was being truthful about the blond. That night, they talked, though it wasn't all much, it was a decent one. Well, up until they decided being decent was no longer a requirement. But he actually liked his company, so that was a plus. Pursing his lips lightly upon hearing that Hanseol talks about Jae the same way Jae talks about the celestial, he wondered if that meant the end of things if they were to call it off. Not that he would want that, Han influenced a lot of things in Jae's life ever since they started their relationship and that's not counting the days they started their friendship, which dated back to before this year. But could he really say anything if the dhampir decided to call it quit? As a friend, he would probably be able to express his sadness over it too, but what more from that could he actually do? It's not like he could force them together again, that's up to them, so if Dae says that the outcome to this doesn't bother him, then he's sorely mistaken because other than thinking about the valkyr, all he could think of was that.
Speaking of which, he was more than happy to be accepting distractions from that issue right now, and Yeon is providing just that, perfectly fine. To be fair, it does sound like neither one of them had gotten that same amount of relief for over 4 months already and if it wasn't because of them being stuck in a public place, the niveis was sure they would have been all over each other by now. Though, there was also no saying that it still couldn't happen. Would he really put it past them not to try and make whatever they could work? No. If anything, it was clear once they set their eyes on it, there was no pulling back. Had he been dreaming of this moment to come? Pretty much every night ever since he got affected by the aftermath of having the blond for that one night. He would say that he’s made his bed and he'll continue to proceed sleeping on it, but the older male had no idea he'd be signing on to months of repressed frustration, so not being able to get relief wasn't making him any nicer. “Whichever suits my preferences… “ he hummed, clearly taking in the perspective of how things could turn out. Seeing the valkyr express his frustration on it, he was glad he wasn't the only one who's been wanting to seek the blond out for the same reasons.
Right now, all he wanted to do is run his hands over the male sitting very close to him, and it made him try to rethink of any other places they could go to that would at least give them a sufficient amount of privacy. Admittedly, he was highly amused that Yeon continued to talk about his standards in his partners, just when Dae thought he was going to stop. Up until he could feel that same touch on his knees, which thankfully was shielded away from others but had him buckled up, especially when the blond is starting to insinuate something. Following his gaze exactly the way he wanted the niveis to do, his hues fell on the bathroom sign not far from where they were. “Unorthodox, that's one way to put it” Interesting choice of words he'd say. That's surprisingly very risky and Dae could not say he's ever done it before but was he tempted to say fuck this and do it, either way? No moment of doubt there. With his eyes still fixated on the blond, he told himself it's okay to give in to this, just one more time. Dae needed closure, and if this was the way to it, then he's happy to comply. Right, just… one more time. Nothing would happen. It's just one more time.
“Well, if you would excuse me then,” Without even sparing a glance, he was already up on his feet and walking straight to the bathroom direction, god how had one guy made him feel this way, it's just unreal. He wasn't supposed to feel like this. Turning the tap open, he washed his hands and stared at his reflection on the mirror. He's stressed. “You're fucked, Daehyun..”
The feeling he had when it came to Daehyun, it was hard to describe because he’d never experienced it with someone before, the pale-haired male was supposed to be someone who came and went in his life, another ghost, another nobody and somehow in a very short amount of time he had managed to insert himself as a somebody. That wasn’t him being some cheesy romantic and thinking things were meant to be, that was him recognizing that someone had walked into his life, made one hell of an impact and then never really left him. He’d tried to get thoughts of him out of his head, it wasn’t healthy to be thinking about a one night stand months after it happened, missing the way the other male felt against his skin, how his whole body had felt as the two of them had given into one another. But he told himself that at least the two of them were of the same mind, there was no mistaking what this was or risking either of them suddenly deciding they wanted more, it was really good sex, nothing more. “The only person you should base your entire life around is yourself” he agreed with the other male’s words, he would never compromise the person he was for anyone else and he didn’t foresee himself ever thinking differently about that.
Yeon was generally a very happy person, he was very fulfilled with the life he led and now that he had a few friends that actually meant something to him, he truly was beginning to feel like he mattered. Some people might find it cheesy or ridiculous, he’d been called a narcissist more times than he could actually count but he really loved his life and what he was doing with it. A lot of people had told him in the past that he would be lonely and empty without someone to love in his life but he had clapped right back to them and proved that loving himself was all he truly needed, that was putting his needs first before he thought about doing so for others. That didn’t mean he didn’t make time for others because he did, he’d been there for Hanseol through many different things in his life now but it meant he didn’t drop everything he had going on elsewhere for it. If people wanted to judge him for the flighty non-committal way he lived his love life then that was their choice but he wouldn’t feel shame for it. He enjoyed getting pleasure without the need for it to be more than that and he got the feeling Daehyun felt the same way.
The two of them definitely sat on the same side of the fence when it came to what they were looking for, both of them seemed to be the type to travel from partner to partner, it was about pleasure without the feelings that most people insisted on behind it and at the end of the day it was about waking up feeling satisfied but alone. That’s why it perhaps felt easier to give into him, give into this because what he was giving into wasn’t like the others who wanted him a second time, they wanted him because they thought if they laid with him enough times that maybe he would begin to feel something for them. He wasn’t looking for that, but it was clear with Daehyun and the fact that despite the fact he knew the other male could have found him before and didn’t, that the Niveis wasn’t easier. So it was about pleasure for the both of them and Yeon could handle knowing that, hell, he wanted that, he wanted him. The valkyr made no mistakes in making it clear he wanted that.
And the more they talked and stared at one another the harder it was not to completely throw himself at Daehyun, it wasn’t a mystery to him this time what it would feel like to be with him, they already knew each other from that night and from the way the two of them were talking, neither had managed to get it out of their minds. Not for lack of trying, Yeon had slept with many people since Daehyun and literally none of them had been able to replace that memory from his mind or make him feel any differently about it. He cursed the Niveis for being able to do that again but then he also felt a sense of apprehension at the idea of being able to have that again. It was selfish, true, but it wasn’t really hurting anyone right and the look of lust in Dae’s eyes told him it that he wanted it just as much as Yeon did. When Dae repeated the word he spoke after getting the hint at what he was suggestion Yeon flashed a half smile, glad the other male didn’t seem too bothered by the idea if anything he looked like he was somewhat into it.
He was a little surprised when he watched the other male get up from his seat and go straight to the place the blond had suggested, he watched the other male as he walked away, his eyes taking in the very nice view from behind before he blew out a long breath between his gritted teeth. That was incredibly hot, being so up for what he wanted to do without even questioning it, normally Yeon would get some hesitance but Daehyun was all in and there was something incredibly sexy about knowing that. He sat there for a few minutes, making the gap between them leaving believable for anyone who was watching them and then he got to his feet.
He felt a little nervous and shaky as he made his way to the same place that Daehyun had gone but he didn’t hesitate as he opened the door to the bathroom and stepped inside, there was a row of sinks at the front of the room and then three stalls at the back. The snowy-haired male was standing in front of one of the sinks and staring at his own reflection. He didn’t know what he had to feel scared about but there was something about the pale-haired male that set him on edge. He made his way towards him, his eyes meeting the Niveis with a look that could only be described as desire. One man made him want so much and he didn’t even know how to feel about it, all he knew was how badly he wanted the other male at that moment, here, anywhere, it didn’t matter, he wanted him.
That’s what he did; he watched as the most beloved person in his life walked away and left him in the alley while also knowing full well that he wasn’t going to turn around to talk him through and hug, promising how things would be better and how they’ll be able to work this one through, again. That’s the key word, isn’t it? Again. It has been frequent, no wonder Jae didn’t feel like he could trust the celestial after he’s been hiding and lying over and over again, and instead of coming forth with the truth, what he did was that he got better at lying. Jae is a kind soul, who’s always been so understanding and considerate despite all Hanseol’s wrongs and flaws. The dhampir embraced him for who he was, or at least, for who he thought he was. Was this the real him? Hiding behind the shell of the person he’s become? Han wasn’t even sure what’s real and what’s not, anymore.
It was similar to the time where he’s experiencing his identity crisis as a celestial but he got through it because he had people by his side, he had Ophelia, his Wayfinder, who was patient with him during their training sessions, he had Yeon, his Volakiri that acted as his best friend, someone he could confide in without feeling any shame of guilt. And then, there’s the most important person in his life, his boyfriend. Right, ex-boyfriend. That word alone is enough to crush his entire hopeful existence since it’s just a reminder of what he did wrong. He screwed up and now, there’s really no way to make up for it. The worst part is that Hanseol understood why Jae did what he did and he respected his wishes, which is why the star has yet to run after Jae, begging him not to leave him like he desperately wished to do. It’s the least he could do for him.
Jae had been a constant in his life, staying by his side through everything else, aiding him in his night terrors by holding on to him whenever he needed to sleep; resulting in the dhampir’s trips to his place to increase by tenfold over the past month. Without the other male knowing, he had become a pivotal part in Hanseol’s life and look at where they’re at, now. One is left to cry in a lonely alley while the other walk home, with a cloud looming over both of them. How is he ever going to fix this? He loved him with all his heart, Han truly did. But perhaps Jae was right, maybe he didn’t know what love actually meant. He’s able to reiterate the words you’d hear in dictionaries or the internet if you searched the definitions up, but does he actually know what a relationship is supposed to entail? The responsibilities it accompanies? Maybe at first. Despite all of that, boy did he feel his heart, break into millions of pieces, the moment he had the indication of his partner wanting to call this relationship off.
Maybe he didn’t understand the whole idea of love, but it doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt any less to watch Jae walk away and not knowing if they’ll be able to see one another the same way, ever again. The rain grew heavier, it didn’t take long to see the celestial soaked from head to toe as he kicked the dumpster across him in frustration. There was no mistaking his tears in this. The significance of the weather went a whole 180 and now Han hates it with all of himself, resuming the hatred again after months of growing to it. How could he ever think this would work? Naive, that’s what he is.
Hitting his fist first against the cold wall, he pounded both hands towards the poor thing as he slumped against them a few minutes later. If Jae was there, he’d told him to take shelter because his immune system wasn’t like the dhampir’s and he could still contract the flu the next morning, which he usually does. But he’s not there, is he? He’s not going to be there chastising the celestial for being stupid on his actions but played it off teasingly afterward. When did it all go wrong? Without even thinking about his friend being in the cafe, Han forced himself up and make his way back home on his own, leaving a simple message to Yeon, telling the valkyr that he’s going home. He even forgot his car that was parked just in front of the cafe. His head was hazy, most of the time consisted of the star scolding himself internally as he even tripped halfway through his journey back home. The rain didn’t stop, if anything, they grew heavier, which Han literally took it as a sign that it’s mocking him now because he fucked up. Big time.
When he got back home, he ignored the barks coming from Yeontan and Byul, and went straight to his room, slamming the door in doing so. Han couldn’t look at Yeontan without feeling his heart wrenching because the Pomeranian reminded him of his connection to the dhampir. Hell, every single thing in his room reminds him of that blue-haired male, especially the lilies in the vase across the room. His dark glossy hues scanned the entire room until it fell on the photo frame on his bedside desk. They looked so happy. It went by so fast. The next thing he knew, that photo frame was thrown across the room, hitting the mirror, successfully breaking them into pieces, much like the representation of his heart, right now. Was he sad? Or angry? Perhaps he’s both.
Dragging himself up to his bed, Hanseol tugged the bedsheets over himself, covering the star from his chin and downwards. The rain didn’t even feel cold, neither did his he feel the blood staining his fist from the punches to the wall earlier. The tears streamed down his hollow face and the celestial eventually curled up while wallowing in his own pit of sadness. His sobs slowly went from timid and pitiful to loud wails. All the fallen star could feel right now is the sound of his heart, breaking.
If he was being honest, Daehyun didn’t even realize it had been a little over 4 months since that night happened, but at the same time, he did. It’s a bit like tipping one from A to B but never finding his footing in between the two ends. In his head, it had only been one or the two conclusions, either he was just getting rusty at this thing, or the other guy is just too good for anyone else to measure up. Either way, both do lead to the blond holding the upper hand in this entire thing. Daehyun didn’t really have any rule providing this situation, nothing that concerns his ‘personals’. He had a code for other things such as maiming and whatnot, but if he could recall lightly, the niveis never set a rule that limits his hedonistic habits. He’s the guy who’s trying to live a fulfilling life at his best, and if he’s going to do it, he may as well make it good for him.
To be on the receiving end is always the best. He didn’t mind doing a second time as long as the other party, or parties, know his rule on not latching. But just to be safe, he would prefer not to. The elder Stormwind could not risk having anything or anyone holding him back down, so it’s a casual thing to do this and that every once a while aka every once or twice per week. Dae quite liked his freedom and perhaps, that has clouded his head for other things, but the snowy-haired male couldn’t care less what others would perceive of him, anyway. So why does he bother trying to justify himself to them? Maybe a teensy bit in him wanted people to care. But watch him deny it to the end because that’s what he does best. In his mindset, Daehyun Stormwind did not need anyone else but himself.
Selfish, narcissistic, but that’s just the way things are, for him. He’s not inclined that about him for anyone else, but perhaps this valkyr did cause him to rethink things for more than once or twice, every night. You’ll never hear it from him, but just ask anyone who knows him, namely Mirae or Jae, and they’ll tell you that Dae gets attached very easily once he’s hooked. What is he if not hooked when it comes to that devilish looking valkyr? “Of course the only person you should base your life around is yourself. Why the hell would people want to live for others, that’s a whole new level of altruistic” he scrunched up his nose in distaste, clearly showing just how much he dislikes the idea of it, secretly because he could see himself doing that with the right people, and he’s scared he would. Slowly but surely, he could already see his life turning very dull and boring, nothing was interesting to him anymore. Everything was the same, nothing piqued his interest and curiosity overdrive, which meant one thing; he’s had his fair share. Perhaps, it’s time he leaves this place and sees if there’s anything else that he hasn’t experienced yet.
But just as he was about to do that, this guy just had to come back into his life, not saying that he ever left, in the first place, but the point still stands. Jae was supposed to have Hanseol by his side to care for the blue-haired dhampir so the niveis wouldn’t be worried over his well-being too, but things just went topsy turvy today, all of sudden. Is this a sign, or something? This is why it’s dangerous to get him attached, once he’s latched on, he’s never going to let go until he knows they’re fine. He heard that Jae’s eldest brother is in town though, so he might be able to derive all his attention to Eun, as guiltily as that made Dae feel. But with Yeon, Dae was sure he didn’t want more than this, with no string attached, it would be casual sex and nothing more, he didn’t have to fear getting attached in a romantic way per se, and of course, that gave him relief. He could work with that, that’s easy enough.
Even if today was going to be the last time they do it, he’s fine with that. He just needed closure. That’s it. Dae made no mistake in showing that he’s not saying no to anything the blond will ask him of, he’s all on board and was willing to do anything, as desperate as that sounds, it really didn’t mind him. So he’s a guy who knows what he wants, what’s new and wrong about that? It just meant that unlike others who are having a hard time deciding things and being painful indecisive people, he actually knows what he wants and does not shy away from showcasing that. Even if they were in public. Fuck that. At some point a month ago, Daehyun stopped sleeping around, much to his own surprise, only because the niveis couldn’t get the memory of the guy sitting in front of him right now, out of his head, no matter how hard he tried. And believe him, he’s a competent and precise person so he really did try. When it didn’t work, he resorted to pushing away others if all he’s going to do is compare them. At the end of the day, Dae is just going to grunt in frustration when he remembered it wasn’t the blond who’s with him, but some other flaxen-haired person who couldn’t even compete with him.
The bathroom suggestion? He was all up for it if it meant he could finally find his closure and have a reason to be ‘close’ to the valkyr. Whatever he wants. Daehyun was slightly opposed to it being a rather public action since the bathroom walls couldn’t exactly contain them but he would lie if the idea didn’t excite him. It’s something new, but was he complaining? Not really. Risky, but he’ll take it. The moment he got to the bathroom and washed his hand rigorously like he was trying to wash off some dirt, he wondered if he was being a bad friend by potentially screwing the guy his best friend disliked? It feels wrong, but he couldn’t deny that blond. How could he? A part of him asked himself if he should’ve gone after Jae but decided against it because he knew how to read situations pretty excellent, and Jae obviously wanted some alone time. There’s surely no reason he couldn’t enjoy himself while doing so, right?
All of those doubts went out the window as soon as he heard the door being opened from the other side and his eyes met the valkyr’s own dark hues. “Please tell me you at least have the decency to lock the door,” he mused, a light-hearted teasing tone playing around with the valkyr as a smug smirk crept up. “Bathroom, really, you’re so shameless.” He shook his head and backed the male against the sink, placing both his hands on each of his sides, subsequently trapping the blond. Leaning in closer until there was only so little of space between them, his eyes flickered down to the other male’s lips. “Very...very shameless” he chided and licked his lips, but made no attempts further.
The way that Yeon lived his life, it wasn’t something that most considered normal and he received a lot of judgment for the decisions he made, how he spent his money, how he didn’t spend his money, who he spent his time with, how long he spent his time with them. The valkyr didn’t even have a family to impress and yet he still found himself constantly being prodded by the expectations of society. The unfortunate thing for society is that he didn’t give a damn what they wanted. Yeon had chosen to live the life he wanted 8 years ago, he put the things he cared about most to the front of his mind and he had let all thoughts of becoming what someone else wanted him to be behind. He had to. He died, he couldn’t go back to the life he had before even if he wanted to. In a way that had worked out for him, because in losing them, he had somehow found himself, as sad and poetic
He got the impression from Daehyun that he didn’t care much for what people thought of him either, the way the both of them had dismissed all the people in the cafe the way they did spoke volumes about that. Especially because he was aware of the fact that Han and Jae might be more affected by what people thought of them. Hell, even after Jae had punched him hard enough in the nose to break it, he was still making sure other people didn’t feel pressured to react to the expectations of those around them and that spoke volumes about how much the blond hated the way life tried to tell you who you were supposed to be “I have no idea, I mean have you met people, most of them are either as bland as a tablecloth or so far up their own ass that I doubt they can actually see” he commented with a shrug, he was lucky to meet a few who fell somewhere in the middle but unfortunately, most people were superficial.
Though what you saw in Evermore, it was nothing compared to what Yeon saw in a business setting in both NYC and California, the two other cities he spent most of his time in when he wasn’t home. People there were full on fakes, with the compliments and the money throwing to go with it. Yeon was a businessman at heart and he knew how to handle people like that, he knew how to spot someone who was fake in a blink of an eye. Daehyun, he was one of the most genuine he had actually met, though the blond still found him harder to read than most, or rather, he struggled to understand his motivations at times, it was clear he wasn’t as emotionless as he painted himself out to be when they first met. Yeon had seen proof of that in the way he was around Jae and the way he immediately jumped in to defend his friend on all levels.
Han was another person he found very genuine, though he was pretty sure most of that was attributed to the fact the celestial actually couldn’t lie to him and pass it off which meant the valkyr always managed to pry the truth from him. His expression faltered a little as he thought about his friend, worried about how things were getting on for the two of them. A small part of him had been tempted to go and find them...but he knew how Han could get when he was upset and Jae didn’t want him there, it seemed counterproductive to get in the middle right now, though he made a mental note to check on Han later, he knew how badly self-pity got to the celestial and if Jae did decide to walk away today, he was going to need someone to look out for him. In the meantime, Daehyun had the valkyr’s attention but then he supposed that wasn’t anything new since the Niveis had been on his mind for the best part of 4 months.
Yeon wasn’t exactly shy when he was sure what he wanted, so the moment that he decided it was okay to give in to this just one more time, was the moment that he made it clear what he wanted. The valkyr hated people who acted coy and shy pointlessly, ‘for the chase’ as some might say, just seemed like a waste of time to him when you could go straight to what you wanted and come out on top. As he sat there after the pale-haired male left towards the room, he had to wonder in his mind if this was for real, he fantasized over it for far too long now, pictured it in mind while he was with others, even mumbled the Niveis’ name a few times during the height of pleasure. Not his finest moments but he didn’t know how to stop his mind working the way it did, he didn’t know how to move past it other than to have it again one last time.
As his eyes met Daehyun’s he quirked a curious brow as he turned his eyes back towards the door he had come through and then smirked “You really think you can stay quiet enough for them not to know?” he questioned, besides the entrance to the bathroom didn’t have a lock, only the individual stalls did. When the other male continued to look at him expectantly he chuckled “Fine” he spoke in an amused tone before grabbing a broom that was rested up against the wall and then placing it in the right position under the door handle to stop anyone getting in without making a lot of noise at least.
Daehyun’s next words caused a sultry chuckle to escape his lips though he didn’t fail to notice the way the pale-haired male cornered him against the sink, his hands resting against his sides causing the hairs to raise on the valkyr’s arms thanks to both the apprehension from the touch and the cool temperature of Dae’s hands, even through his clothes. He felt the Niveis press up against him, no space between the lower halves of their bodies which made him arch his back over the sink a little as he male leaned closer. Yeon chuckled as his hand came up rest against the top of Daehyun’s shirt, his index finger pressing against the side of his neck and trailing downwards as he spoke “Shameless, impatient, selfish” he spoke as his eyes also dropped down to Dae’s lips for a moment “Nothing I haven’t been called before” he teased softly as he leaned in closer, his lips almost ghosting the other male as he spoke in a whisper “Tell me it doesn’t turn you on” he kinda liked the idea of risk when it came to things like this, it made it more exciting.
The lick of those lips though, it was almost too much handle, especially because Daehyun had instantly gone for his weakness and gotten in close, there wasn’t any more holding back from this now, he didn't have that level of control and right now he didn’t even want to “You, have fucked up my life, you know that” he accused the other male as he snaked his arm around his neck and pulled him in to close the distance between them and roughly press his lips against the Niveis’.
Between the two of them, it’s almost evident that neither of them really give a damn about what others would think about them. That’s not wrong, but it’s not 100% true for Daehyun either. He might say that he really did not mind any criticism and while he actually doesn’t dwell much in that said department, his heart would often say a different thing; the opposite. Either it’s playing a game with the niveis himself, or it’s really what the snowy-haired male genuinely feel about them. Dae still had a space inside his heart that still cares about what others have to say to him, but only those he holds dear and close, like his baby sister, his newfound best friend, Jae, hell even he cares what Kaldre had to say, it’s a never-ending dilemma for him.
But at the end of the day, his frozen heart would not allow himself to care regarding it. It’s all in his heart and head, but that’s as far as it would go, just there. It won’t come out to the surface. As shown earlier when he dismissed everyone in the cafe, that’s how far his tolerance level goes about taking a step back and rethink his choices. Non-existent. Hearing the valkyr’s question about people, Daehyun snorted and shrugged absentmindedly. It wasn’t as if he has that kind of experience with others. “I wouldn’t know honestly, I hate human interaction, well people interaction, in general” he mumbled, rubbing one hand against his arm as he fixed the position of his arm crossed against one another. Somehow this blond sitting just across him, looking as dainty and pretty as ever, causes him to be uneasy. Not in a bad way, thankfully, but since it brought him back to jittery land, it’s still questionable.
“So I might be biased about it, but I guess I’m not really being a pessimist, but rather, a realist, when it comes to that, seeing as you seem to affirm the same” His voice might be leveled and calm, but his internal self? Not really. It’s fighting the urge to tackle the person before him, reminding himself that they are in public and he should be mindful of his actions and thoughts. They’ve caused enough scene today and if there’s more to follow, Daehyun couldn’t even fathom the idea of it blossoming because the niveis would be more likely to storm out afterward. Yeon looked graceful, which was probably a given with his background, and the more he stared at the blond, the more he found it hard to keep all those thoughts to himself and bar them with a ledge.
This was one of those times when he’s eternally grateful to possess the ability to wear a shameless and emotionless blank mask on himself. That allows him to think and trick others while doing so. He was perceptive enough to notice the change in his face when it fell briefly. Yeon was probably worried about his friend, Hanseol, the same way Dae is worried about Jae, but he also knew there wasn’t much that he could do now without seeming like he’s prying into the dhampir’s personal space. There were a few similarities between the two of them, but within them, the one that stood out to the pale-haired male was the fact that the valkyr is also shameless when it comes to showing what he wants. Exactly his type? He wasn’t even sure, but what he is sure about is that he is completely hooked on to that guy, and would quite possibly follow him wherever he wants to take him, even if it’s the bathroom that no doubt is nowhere near soundproof, neither is it an ideal location to be doing such actions. Again, what did he really care, though?
He has him where he wants him, or the other way around, but either way, Daehyun would be able to relieve his frustration. The way he was even pacing for a while as soon as he reaches the bathroom showed a lot about what’s going on in that head of his, all those unreal fantasies that never left his head not once. It didn’t take him long to realize those were going to remain fantasies that would never come to reality when he noticed the times that he would often let that same name escape his lips while he was busy relishing in his own pleasure. Such a trainwreck, that’s what he is. And today, he’s finally going to be able to reach that certain level of closure he needed. “Not to be that guy, but I distinctly recall you like me being vocal that night, but I guess whatever suits your preference, I guess…,” he scoffed and shook his head before his eyes eventually fell on the broom that was used to block a smooth entrance. “That’s what I thought” The triumphant look on his face was enough to say everything. He’s being smug about it too.
Even in this situation where he was supposed to be at the valkyr’s mercy, he’s playing that card. It was clear that the niveis had no intention on playing nice nor were he anywhere near the thoughts on playing coy with what he wants. But before he could apologize for his lack of manners and proceed, he was cut short by the blond, more specifically, his lips. A small grunt followed suit and Daehyun placed one hand over the valkyr’s chest, while the other free hand makes its way to tread in his soft blond locks. God, he tasted better than that night, this time there was no alcohol lacing the blond, just a mix of coffee, which fortunately leaned towards his case since the niveis loves coffee related beverages. He made no attempts to stop fighting the other male for dominance but found himself cowering in defense a few moments later, because the position was switched and now he’s the one being pressed against the cool marble sink. What’s more surprising is that for once in his miserable dull life, he didn’t mind at all. The things this valkyr does to him.
After what seemed to be a while, Dae broke the kiss with his teeth pulling the valkyr’s teasingly. A wry smirk was plastered on his lips as he licked his lips with a satisfied look. “Oh, believe me, it does more than that” he whispered coolly as his lips ghosted just above his ears and nipped on the metal earring Yeon sported. He had shuddered involuntarily earlier when the valkyr trailed his finger down his spine, no doubt knowing full well what it does to the niveis since he’s shown plenty that night. One thing that separates them was that they weren’t as needy and sexually repressed as they are today, which ups everything else by tenfold. “You think you haven’t fucked up my life? If I could count the times your name came out instead of whoever it was that night, I’ll lose my mind” he scowled and allowed his hand that was previously occupied by gripping the blond locks, to push the male closer. “Bold of you to pick the bathroom, where anyone can walk in at any time. Let’s be real, you don’t seriously think that broom is gonna hold, you like the idea of people walking in, don’t you?” he purred, bringing his forefinger from his free hand to trail down the valkyr’s jawline.
The simple truth was that Yeon didn’t care what people thought of him, he hadn’t for a long time, letting go of that part of him had been one of the best things he had ever done, it meant that people couldn’t really get to him, couldn’t intimidate him or make him feel guilty. It put power into his hands to choose what he did with his life without external influence and that was a really good feeling. There were exceptions though, people who got past the outer walls, very few of them, but anyone who made it there held a certain significance to the valkyr. “In general huh?” Yeon responded to his comments on people with a curious brow “Does that mean I should be flattered?” the blond quirked a brow as he met Daehyun’s stern gaze, damn, he could just lose himself in it, he was so gorgeous and he didn’t even try. It was frustrating as hell.
Yeon shrugged “The difference between us is I recognize people are assholes and still wanna be around them anyway, guess that makes you the smarter one” Yeon joked with a half laugh, he expected the worst of people most of the time, it was easier to expect people to fuck you over and then be pleasantly surprised when they didn’t than feel betrayed when people did the worst thing. Business 101 he supposed, keep people sweet but don’t expect them to look out for any interests but their own. Probably why he’d learned to read people and also why it frustrated him so much that he wasn’t able to read Daehyun all that well. He was like a steel wall at times when it came to tells but he kinda saw that as a challenge, he wanted to figure him out, learn what made him tick and he’d already gotten a few inklings today.
Of course, he hadn’t expected to fall into his embrace so easily, especially after everything that had happened and while his healing had managed to numb the pain in his nose, he still felt a little conflicted about it all. Maybe he’d deserved the punch but Han didn’t deserve to lose everything he held dead over this, it was a stupid mistake but there was nothing to hide really, they hadn’t even actually doing any biting in the process of making the bond and hadn’t blood shared since then. They were friends and while Yeon did find Hanseol attractive he wouldn’t cross that line, nor did he really want to, the valkyr came to realize that maybe he did need friends that he kept around rather than constant one night stands with no real connection. That didn’t mean he was listing himself as single and looking though, far from it.
He had to curse his own self-control a little as he followed Daehyun into the bathroom, just the smallest chance at getting a taste of that again and he was chasing him. Yeon didn’t chase people, the made people come after him if they wanted him. Everything with Daehyun seemed to work backward for him though, the first man who had ever made the valkyr back down in the heat of the moment, the only man he’d ever let take control of him. And he had fucking liked it too. He resigned himself to the fact that he was never going to feel the same way about their time together as he did all the others. He blamed that for the fact he was here, offering a second time to someone. “Oh I never said I didn’t like the noise” he spoke coyly as he placed the broom handle under the door handle “I said that they’re going to hear us” and why would anyone walk in when they heard that unless they were about as into it as the two of them.
Just like that night, he had no problems with letting the other male back him against the cool surface of the sinks, the ridge digging in a little against his lower back but not bothering the valkyr in the slightest, he was finally getting what he wanted and he would probably say or do anything the Niveis wanted at that moment in order to get it. That’s why he was so forthcoming with his kiss, it was rough and deep, he was holding onto the other male’s collar to pull him into the movements which radiated through his whole body and had him pressing up against the other male’s body. Dae’s grunt was met by a cocky hum from the valkyr which turned into a somewhat needy moan as he felt his hand tangle up in his hair. Caught up in the moment he pushed the male back before shoving him back against the sink with such a force that the Niveis’ back was almost pressed down over the top of the sink, Yeon took the opportunity to let his hands wander, his fingernails digging into the other male’s shirt as move down his chest.
He gave a soft moan as he felt Daehyun teasing at his bottom lip and tilted his head back a little to force the male to bite down a little harder against it which sent a wave of pleasure through his body. He liked the way Dae was so vocal with the things he liked, it helped him to navigate his way and ensure the two of them attained maximum satisfaction from the experience. He froze as he felt the other male and lean up, his breath a mix of hot and cold against Yeon’s ear which caused a shiver to roll over his body, this guy knew exactly how to get to him so quickly, no one had that upper hand on him normally but then he didn’t mess with the same person twice normally, or ever. Yeon’s hands came to rest at Daehyun’s hips and he pressed his thumbs against the skin there against his pelvic bone. He smirked satisfied with the other male’s response to his statement, glad to not be the only one so hung up over that night, over the best sex he has ever had. “Never” he grunted as he leaned up to graze against the other male’s jawline “Never, have I said someone’s name like that until you” he cursed with another nip at his skin “You smug smug bastard” he hated him for doing that to him, for twisting up his mind so much that nothing felt as good as it was supposed to anymore because he was imagining doing it with the pale-haired male instead.
The next words Dae spoke brought a wry smile to the blond’s lips “Trying to make me feel shame is like trying to make a tiger eat vegetables” he teased with a chuckle as he pulled back a little and watched the Niveis’ finger as trailed over his jaw. He clenched it because of the feelings that spread through his body. He took the opportunity to pull the other male up to his feet and then forcibly turned him around to face the bathroom mirror “I told you I like putting on a show” he teased as he leaned up to put a few teasing kisses against the base of Daehyun’s neck and then slowly but surely moved downwards, making a point of looking Dae in the eye through the mirror as he did so, he dropped below eyeline as he moved in front of him and lifted the bottom of his shirt to press a kiss against his lower abdomen just above the belt of his jeans, as he slowly moved upwards his hands took a hold of Daehyun’s shirt as he pulled it up until he reached the top of Daehyun’s chest and then finally pulled his shirt over his head and set it down on the side “If they want to see what I’m doing to you then so be it” he teased as he met his eyes with a questioning look.
When he first laid eyes on Yeonseok Lee, did he know what would happen? When he first captured those plush lips into his own, did he know what he would get himself into? When he allowed his hands to wander on the latter's body as freely as he would see fit, did he know he wasn't going to want anyone else? No. To all of those never-ending questions that never left his head ever since that night and kept bombarding himself for more instead, it was a no. Daehyun had no idea he would be so hooked, the idea of being attached to a someone scares him, more so than he would admit because it wasn't often that the snowy-haired niveis find pleasure basking in other people's company, except those he deemed worthy of him to play his time on.
That's why the only people he would ever throw everything down to spend his time with is countable by one hand. At the moment? Two people. Mirae and Jae. Wait, make that three. If the blond had no intentions of escaping his life after today, then Dae wasn't sure what he would make of this. How was he supposed to forget the guy who had single-handedly made his life so much better on that one particular department that's been occupied by so many individuals over the years. Males and female alike, the niveis never found any trouble in testing one or the other. His life is all about searching for eternal bliss and pleasure, the more he could derive himself from it, the more he is compelled to seek. Right now, Yeon is playing a dangerous game with him, and the worst part is, he's sure the valkyr had no idea he'd even trenching in this uncharted territory. But boy, did he like it.
“I forgot to end the sentence properly then,” he cocked an eyebrow dismissively and bit his inner cheek. “I dislike them in general, but not the company those people would provide me comes night. Or day, whichever they prefer” he said coolly, with no hints of shame or hesitation lacing his tone. He's made it perfectly clear earlier that he didn't mind showing what he wants and by now, it's clear that Yeon would pick it up with ease. After all, it doesn't take a genius to find out exactly what the pale-haired male wanted. “But I never do them twice too, so I guess in a way, it's flattery.” He didn't miss the chance to see how compliments and flattery walks the path with the blond, most of the time, people really liked it and much like them, Dae also thrives on compliments too. It feels him like a generator, just waiting to unleash itself onto him. It kindles the fire burning inside him, well ice or whatever, and kept him going.
With Yeon, however, the valkyr didn't even need to feed on the compliments, the sight of the male was more than enough to quench his thirst, mildly. The way he would carry himself, there was this certain air around the valkyr that made him look regal, and the niveis definitely likes what he sees. Such a sight for sore eyes, indeed. “I'm not entirely surprised, I've been called a smart guy more times than I could count” no way did that slight purr elicited by Dae escaped Yeon's notice. It was way too obvious to pass it off, and the fact that Daehyun had smirked afterward only showed he was glad to be doing it. He's never one to trifle with public crowds but seeing as he's all ready to do whatever the blond wishes him to do, perhaps this would be the first. The risks he's willing to take for him, it's ridiculous. But did he find it to be anywhere near that word? Fuck no. Today was going to go down as a day that he'll never forget, he's positive of that. Today would also mark the day where he'll finally be able to come home feeling relieved that he's found closure. But after hearing that answer from the other male, he wasn't even sure if he wanted to find closure anymore.
Those words sends shivers down his back and he's never ever minded the cold?! “I'm not sure if I should feel offended by that or not, which one of us do you reckon would have a harder time keeping their mouth shut and lips sealed? Sounds like you're implying it's me” he murmured faintly, already taking in the marvelous sight before him. Not that it's anywhere near wrong either, Dae is very vocal and he's never hid it before, except the times when he would be a petty baby and kept his mouth clamped because his partners forgot their place and demanded things. But now, he's quite possibly the luckiest guy on earth today and he is going to revel in every single moment of it. Much like that night, there was no carefulness nor gentleness in their movements, it was rough but passionate and it really did send the niveis flying away in delight, so much his toes is curling from excitement. The sudden force that literally sent the niveis against the sink however, was not expected but regardless of it, Dae didn't mind. If anything, his grip tightened around the valkyr, and had inadvertently tugged on those luscious locks a little bit too much.
His movements were lithe but aggressive at the same time, it was slowly pushing him to ride towards cloud nine, if he was not there yet. “I'll be truthful, I'm not sure if you want them to hear us or not, because if you keep going like this-” his sentence was cut short due to the small whimpering moan that escaped his lips. “your hopes on me being quiet just went out the window” he continued, his breathing ragged as he stared in amazement when Yeon threw his head back to maximize the tug from his lips. “My my, you are one needy valkyr, aren't you” he hummed in delight, making no attempts on hiding the fact that he's majorly turned on by it. Just when he thought he had the upper hand, once again, the blond proved him wrong which caused the the niveis to avert his gaze towards where Yeon is resting his grip on – his hips. “You know, that's funny because I called my friend a tiger and he eats veggies” he retorted coyly, clearly taking the entertainment much more into hand. This was getting so interesting.
That was until his shirt was discarded and the valkyr already had his turned to face the mirror while he tortuously left kisses down his back, lingering a little too long around his wings, which got him closing his eyes shut in pure bliss. But that was nowhere near the high he reached when he received a peck just below his belt, a spot that's really just very dangerous. A wry smirk crept up and Dae feigned a heavy sigh, with one hand trailing his forefinger down the other male's back under his shirt, making sure to also leave a few cold marks, much like that night because he knows how much the valkyr likes it. Stopping just around the back of his waist, he rested them there. Yeon had a small waist, which didn't surprise him when he had a hard time keeping his hands away from them. It felt perfect in his locking grip.
“One, I am a smug bastard. I know that,” placing one finger from his free hand on his chin, he tilted it to force the male to meet his gaze. “two, I wouldn't mind providing a show,” he purred, his lips twitching slightly as that same finger trailed down to the valkyr's chest and began fisting the material like he was about to get into a fight with him. “and three, your hopes on staying quiet is non-existent...why?” Pulling the blond until his lips ghosted over his ears once again, he chuckled deeply. “because I'm going to make sure you're going to say my name again, or scream… whatever you prefer” And just like that, he pulled the shirt over the blond and threw it against the sink carefully so it wouldn't get wet from the water on the tap and space, before pushing the male against the wall. While pinning both the male's hands against the wall to restrict his movements, he latched himself on his neck and didn't waste a single second on preparing anything. He may as well pass as a valkyr because all he did was kissed the spot once and bit it the next.
Yeon wasn’t especially picky about who he got with before Daehyun, if they were attractive and were able to keep his attention for a few hours then he was more than happy to follow through, most people would be gone by the morning and the few that were brave enough to stay were asked to leave shortly after, Yeon had never really dreamed of anything that followed that. He certainly didn’t ask anyone for another round, no one left enough of an impact to make him want it that badly. Not until Daehyun Stormwind, Dae had a commanding nature to him and a natural ease that the blond found so incredibly attractive and compelling. He made the valkyr rethink his entire definition of what made him feel good and he both felt grateful and resented him for that particular revelation because no one else seemed to be able to give him what Daehyun could.
Hearing Dae correct his own words Yeon folded his arms a little and gave a slightly smug smile, he doubted there were many people who could correct the Niveis like that and still get a pleasant response in return but then Yeon had quickly realized he did have something over the elder, the problem was that could equally be said about Yeon when it came to Daehyun and so that left them at a stalemate. Either one of them could torture the other with the idea of denial but then they would be torturing themselves, it was a lose-lose game really. Or alternatively, it was a win-win, if they both gave in. I made him almost angry to know how easily the other male was going to be able to make him cave but at the same time, he welcomed it, because frankly, he needed it. When Dae said he didn’t lay with the same partner twice Yeon wasn’t surprised but it did make him feel a sense of triumph to be his secret exception to the rule, much like the pale-haired male was his “I’ll take it” he spoke boldly pressing his tongue to the roof of his mouth and opening it for a moment.
Everything about Daehyun turned him on, the male didn’t have to try, his husky voice, expectant gaze, the way he was so bold with everything he said or did which gave every little action a purpose when it came to the other male. The smirks, the suggestive comments, the fact that his mind worked on the same level as Yeon’s did and it really felt like the sky was the limit with him. It excited the valkyr in a way he’d never felt with anyone else because he didn’t feel like he needed to hold himself back or hide any part of himself, in fact, being around Dae made him feel even more confident in himself if that was even possible. Yeon smirked a little, eyes dropping to the Niveis lips as he purred out those words and he swallowed, literally everything about this guy. “Don’t let it go to your head too much” he responded with a sly smile, not that he was complaining, he’d told the Niveis when they first met that confidence looked good on him and he was enjoying the view very much right now. They were basically already undressing one another with their eyes and nothing had even started yet. But he was absolutely certain that it would.
He loved the effect he could have on the other male, it was a strange dynamic between the two of them had, normally going into his relations he would be the one who controlled the situation, the one who took the lead and guided the way but with Daehyun it was like making it up as they went along. How would things turn out? Neither of them had any clue he was sure but that’s what made the idea of it so appealing, it was something Yeon never even knew he craved until he had been given it on a silver plate and then it was taken away. “I’d hedge a bet from your reaction that I’m the only one here who has experience with this” he spoke boldly as he leaned in closer to the Niveis challenging him to tell him that he was wrong. Yeon had very few limits to what he wouldn’t do, public sex, it didn’t bother him, he wasn’t afraid of what people would think of him and he knew he was hot, so who cared if they saw “But yet you’re still here too, guess that makes you as shameless as me” he teased as he ran his tongue over Daehyun’s bottom lip as they kissed and then he turned the tables and pinned him down against the sink. He felt the tugging on his hair which almost felt like he might pull it out and moaned softly arching his hips from the sheer intensity of the feeling he got from it.
The way the two of them moved made it clear they weren’t here to play gentle and he wouldn’t have wanted it any other way, he liked being with someone who didn’t treat him like he would break if they gave back a bit of what he gave. Daehyun didn’t just give back a bit, he gave back his all and the valkyr was all in for it. The words that Dae spoke before he broke off and whimpered softly spread heat through the valkyr’s chest, he loved that sound and he was quite happy to share it with the world “Who said I was hoping you’d be quiet” he purred as he nipped against the skin on the Niveis’ jawline, putting enough pressure to make a point without leaving any marks. Yeon remembered Dae’s lip bites well, along with the fact that he had drawn the valkyr’s blood doing so last time, for all he cared he could abuse his lips as much as he wanted and his comments as he extended the feeling just a little longer made Yeon chuckle “How could I not be when I’m finally getting what I want again” he breathed with absolutely no shame about his wants for the Niveis, no point playing coy when their hands were running all over one another’s bodies and the whole cafe was about to get quite the soundtrack right?
Most people he’d been with weren’t really into talking throughout but the fact the two of them were keeping up quite the conversation as they got familiar with one another once again was incredibly hot to him, he could talk about what he wanted to do to someone constantly so he was so into the way they were talking to each other. He was slow as he took in the Niveis’ torso, remembering every curve that he had kissed, the marks which scattered all over Daehyun’s body which made him look like an ancient warrior and that spot right in the middle of his back which was the Niveis’ weakness. He wasn’t too cruel but he did make his point, his kiss skimming over the skin before he gracefully dropped to his crouched position, far more elegant than most because it was one of his signature dance moves and Yeon was experienced in dancing for pleasurable reasons too. He teased the male as he moved up his chest, kisses getting rougher as he finally got rid of his shirt so he could see his bare torso in its full glory. Just as he remembered all the times he had fantasized about doing this and he loved the fact that Daehyun got to watch every move.
And now it was his turn, he felt the Niveis touch his finger about the bare skin on his back and Yeon shuddered, taking in a sharp inhalation of breath thanks to the cold intensity of the touch and the way it caused the hairs to stand up on end all over his body. How could he forget quite how insanely sensitive those cold touches made him and how it turned every nerve into his body into a mess, craving the touch. His followed the movement in his mind despite the fact it was on his back and under his shirt and then his body jerked a little as he felt the Niveis’ hands come to rest on his waist, the cold feeling radiated throughout his whole upper body from that touch alone and he looked up at Daehyun with a lustful look in his eyes. The snowy-haired male knew exactly how to get to him and he was being smug as hell about it, it was teasing to its most intense and yet it was challenging and so incredibly sexy that he couldn’t even complain.
As he felt Dae’s fingers under his chin, he lifted his gaze to meet his dark eyes, holding it with a cocky look in his eyes because he knew he had the Niveis exactly where he wanted him, they were both in a daze of desire which completely clouded his worries about anything but the person in front of him. He wanted the pleasure, he wanted to remember this moment for weeks to come, he wanted to give the Niveis everything he wanted, fulfill his deepest wants. But when Dae leaned in close to his ear and promised to make him say his name again he knew he was right and that made his whole body feel like it was burning, the male didn’t even have to touch him to make him this much of a mess, he thought as he whined out from the passion he was feeling. He didn’t get the chance to respond back because just like that the Niveis’ pulled his shirt from his chest and Yeon was completely wrapped up in the icy cold he felt, from the sudden absence of the material on his chest to being slammed up against the wall and then the cold skinned male pressing himself up against him he threw his head back against the wall almost feeling weak in the knees from the way the feeling overtake him “Yes…” he moaned not even fighting back as he felt the cold grip around his hands stopping him from touching the male of getting control.
It was so easy to give himself to Daehyun, he did it without even questioning and he got quite literally everything he wanted in return, feeling the male as he latched against his neck Yeon cried out in pleasure and tilted his head to the side a little to maximize the feeling. If they hadn’t been heard before they would certainly hear this one and neither of them even had all their clothes off yet. When he felt the strangely soft peck against his neck he tensed himself knowing the Niveis well enough to know what he was going to do next, he still remembered this one from the first night fondly “You know I’m supposed to be the biter right” he spoke through gritted teeth as the feeling of the pain and the pleasure spread through him and he released a grunt. Not to completely stand there helpless though he started to move his hips a little against the Niveis’ digging into the right places to get a reaction from him “Not that I’m complaining” he spoke as he met Daehyun’s gaze enjoying the way he felt pressed up this close to him.
Before Yeon, he’s never questioned why he did what he did. Never. Period. But when the valkyr set one foot into his life, nothing is ever the same, anymore. Not one. To say that the niveis is heavily frustrated by that fact would be a vast understatement since he’s not someone who would occupy his head over trivial matters such as this. Wait, is it really considered trivial? As soon as his eyes fell on the male, all he could think of was how the hell is he going to get out of this mess? Just because he doesn't have a two-time rule that keeps him in line, doesn't mean he preferred to meet the same person for another round. Though, admittedly, the blond might be an exception that. At this point, it's safe to say he's going to be a big exception to his case. He's going to fuck things up again, isn't he? To be fair, he's not alone in this matter. The valkyr too, had the same problem as it seems and since they're both on board on the same idea, maybe they could settle things between them once and for all?
Okay, maybe that's a little too soon to he said, seeing as he's currently wrapped around the latter's finger, and would do so anything that he wants him to. That's how bad he's got it in for him. He's going to regret this, he reminded himself. But wouldn't he relish in it first and then think about the consequences later? That doesn't sound like what Daehyun would normally do. He's not the type to act first before thinking, he's still very much rational and sensible when it comes to that, but that's exactly what he's not doing, right now. Oh well, he may as well get this over with so he could move on with his life without having the need to bite anyone's head off every time they tried to poke him. Grumpy cat? Yeah, a cat that would glare until your soul dissipates into thin air and eat your entire existence.
The snowy-haired niveis wasn't sure if he should be thankful or the other way around. On the most part, Yeon provided him with the best night of his entire life, and he's lived a wild one since 40 years ago, so that is saying something. On the other side of things, the valkyr also gave him a long lasting aftermath effect that followed him like a thorn by his side–a pain in his ass, basically. Dae felt deprived even though that's not the case. Every touch another gave him left him wanting more of the other male's. How could he try to forget his memories of that night then? The temptation to blame everything from A to Z on the valkyr is way too high. But above everything else, at least, he's considered lucky today, no? Here he was, sitting just right across the person he wanted most, as if nothing bothered them when both of them knew the very existence of each other taunts the other endlessly without any cerpts on mercy.
Yeon really does look good though, with those luscious blond locks that looked somewhat majestic on him, giving a more regal air about the male, as if he doesn't have enough to charm anyone's pants off. Dae paid extra attention to the apparel the valkyr sported today, from the helm of his blazer up to how he wore his shoes. The way his fingers would fidget instinctively when he's nervous or taken aback, or at least that's what the niveis presumed. The fact that Yeon is shameless makes it all better, so he wasn't alone in that department as it seems. Perhaps, there's more similarity to them than what meets the eye. He's about to find out more now that he took up the offer without even the slightest hint of hesitation when he made his way to the bathroom like a robot programmed to do so. What was he supposed to do? Say no? To that guy? Not a chance in the world. Scoffing at the valkyr's comment, he allowed his eyes to wander around the entire area, surveying each corner to make sure the coast is clear, in a way. He likes to be safe before anything else.
“Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't exactly find the appeal or pleasure to get my high off in public settings. Especially with places that have thin walls,” he clicked his tongue and was so close to flick his finger against his temple. A pet peeve of his, if you would say so. “don't you wonder right it's sanitized or etc. I like to take in account for what my partner likes and enjoy, thank you very much.” The distance between them was dangerously too close but if anything, it excites the pale-haired male even more. Playing with words, never once did he thought to have a conversation, or whatever this resembles one, with his partner while indulging in such activities. “But, I'm not overly opposed to anything that would bring maximum pleasure” he winked playfully, tracing one finger to hook over his belt teasingly. Both of them definitely knew how to get each other to go on that particular road without doing so much as to look back another glance because they would've been high up the clouds too much to care. Every time the valkyr would arch his hips forward, Dae found himself struggling to keep it in. How could he do that when a literal mess is in front of him. It was taking every point of strength in self control inside him not to tear every clothing. He had to be considerate in that, at least. What would they wear if they were to walk out of the bathroom, afterward?
Groaning at the idea of them being quiet enough in the bathroom really sent him riling. “I think we've reached the point where-,” stopping on his words momentarily due to blond's nip to his jawline, he let out a heaved sigh. “be careful what you wish for.” Truly, do be careful what you wish for. He had no intentions on stopping neither did he possess any on clamping their mouths shut. What an insult if the partner doesn't showcase their pleasure. This is what both of them wanted, he told himself. There's nothing wrong with what you're going to do, he reassured. Once his shirt was discarded, he took a peek at his body's reflection on the mirror in front of him. Right, he forgot all the marks that littered his body. The blue lines over the tribal marks that went all the way from his torso. He remembered it's what drew Yeon closer that night, his marks. Daehyun appreciated the gesture Yeon showed him, by not releasing all of everything and abuse his back since it remained as his most sensitive spot. It's a spot they had to be careful with too, seeing as one simple blow to his wings and he'd be rendered in a weak position that would last painfully.
His dark hues never left the valkyr's, every movement the other did, he was paying full attention towards it, not missing a single detail on how the blond had once again, made it easy to unravel him. At this point, he's putty in his hold already. The moment he pushed him against the cold wall, he was expecting another reaction to come out of him and he was not disappointed. That moan alone was enough to fuel the fires from within, causing the grip around both the blond's wrists to tighten a bit more as he mercilessly attacked his neck. This was probably the loudest he's ever heard from his partner, but then again, did the niveis really paid 100% attention on them rather than on himself? He's a selfish guy when it comes to that, but not today. Today is all about giving back to the person writhing underneath him. He pressed his lips tenderly against the soft skin before eventually sinking his teeth on it, threatening to tear the poor spot, just to make his point. “That's right… you're not complaining.” In a way, it's like he was trying assert dominance over the valkyr, though that action did not last long when he felt the male grind against him, hitting him exactly where the blond intended, successfully prodding a lustful whimper from the elder male.
His hold over Yeon loosened but it doesn't mean the end of things. Not yet. Far from it. His hands traveled all the way down to the buckle of his belt, tugging it suggestively. “I think your pants seemed a little too tight there... “ Until his movements ceased due to his ears perking up at the small sound of the people talking almost inaudibly outside the bathroom. Without sparing a word, Daehyun grabbed both their shirts and dragged Yeon with him into one of the stalls before locking it. But not before he pushed the valkyr down to sit on the closed lid. A wry smirk crept up as he resumed his gaze on to the blond who sits obediently, with an idea flying around his clouds now. The sounds of people talking outside fueled his excitement at this new idea.
Kneeling down slowly as he trailed his hands over Yeon's thighs, he tapped his fingers against it before softly humming, not loud enough for another company to hear, but more than enough for the blond in front of him. “How quiet can you be, hmm? Let's test that out, shall we?” Dae didn't even think to give him a chance to speak before his hands unbuckled the belt and found the zipper before slowly unraveling it. Well, let's just say, the entire cafe had quite the pleasant soundtrack to go about their day, today.
