[ Kisses him. ]

[glub]

[ WHY DO YOU ONLY WANT TO KISS HIM WHEN HE'S GOT HIS RIGHT MIND BACK?

for a second, he's about to open his mouth and say something, but what the hell? he's being kissed? there are like two beta fish fighting inside of him on whether he wants to return the kiss on instinct, or run away.

... and so he pushes sylus off and tries to make a run for it. ]

[expulse]

[ HE JUST BOOKS IT? WATCHES HIM GO I GUESS? ]

[glub]

[ he will stop like once to make sure he's not being followed and...

he's offended he's not, but

yeah bye ]

[expulse]

[ It's okay it was just to lure him into a false sense of security.

Teleports in front of him. ]

Going so soon?

1/2

[glub]

[ what the hell!!! ]

[glub]

[ you wouldn't even let him stay offended, damn.

rafayel stiffens up and just looks away. ]

... Something came up.

[expulse]

[ Steps in the direction that he turns his gaze. You can look at him instead. ]

Right. The effect wore off.

[ Lifting a brow. ]

Embarrassed of your technique?

[glub]

[ in the few seconds it takes sylus to come to that conclusion, rafayel is doing his best to regain his bearings. especially now that sylus is nonconning him to face him???

he's clearing his throat for a moment, before he answers back in tune. ] Why would I be? Looks like it works even on the Boss-man.

[ giving a shrug like it's not a big deal


but his ears are still red. ]

[expulse]

[ He is nonconning him. THEY ARE HAVING A CONVERSATION, so why SHOULDN'T Rafayel look at him?

The audacity of this fish is incredible. ]

Isn't this where you talk about how much you don't want me around?

[ Since Rafayel likes to play the nonchalant Olympics.

Flicks his ear. ]

[glub]

[ his eyes, his choice!!!

his mouth is clamped shut for a moment, because that's actually not how he feels at all, and he actually hates that. ]

I never said that— [ hey!! he lifts a hand up to try and slap sylus' hand away. ]

[expulse]

[ Grabs his hand... Laces their fingers together. Makes Rafayel regret staying instead of continuing to flee.

Watching his expression, trying to puzzle out what he's struggling with. ]

I believe your exact words were, "Can I know where you're going so I can go in the opposite direction."

[ He hasn't forgotten. :( ]

[glub]

[ when he feels their fingers intertwine, he doesn't even bother fighting it this time. ]

Do you usually memorize everything someone tells you?

[ but, it's also true that it makes him feel seen somehow. ]

[expulse]

[ You can still fight... Maybe he will let you go. ]

I already said that I'm dedicated with my attention. [ Tilting his head. ] So? Will you run?

[glub]

[ he doesn't fight him this time. but, he isn't sure if it's to stick a point, or if it's something else that keeps him rooted here. ]

Run? Puh-lease... If you want me to stay, then just say so. You really can't get enough of me, huh?

[expulse]

I want to know why you made a beeline for me once you were cursed.

[ You never answered his question... ]

[glub]

[ ... ]

Is that a complaint?

[expulse]

It's a question.

[ Expectant. ]

[glub]

Maybe I felt like you owed it to me.

[ he tries not to break his nonchalance, but he's covering his mouth with his hand just a little. it's hard not to smile because he thinks sylus' question is... kind of cute in a way. is he fishing for something? ]

Don't forget you're the one who clung onto me first.

[expulse]

[ CUTE... He is fishing for something, yes. Be honest or he's going to come up to you one day with a crazy ultimatum. ]

I clung to several people. [ Lifting a brow. ] Unless you mean to tell me you've been making rounds?

[glub]

[ staring at him. ] Several people, huh? Guess your attention is actually pretty easy. [ not going to answer sylus' last question out of spite now. ]

[expulse]

[ Wow. Rafayel is calling him a whore, but he just smiles. ]

I like how jealousy looks on you.

[ Raises his free hand to Rafayel's face...

... and gently tugs his cheek. Brat. ]

[glub]

[ his brows furrow together before he tries to brush sylus' hand off.

though, his attempt is pretty weak. ]

You're obviously seeing things. Must be the night vision failing you.

[expulse]

[ It will not work, though he does let go, it's only so that his fingers can trail down the length of his jaw to grip at his chin. ]

Fortunately for you, I have good eyes.

[glub]

[ he remains fixed in place. as if moving was also losing.

instead, he keeps his gaze fixed on sylus' ~mysterious~ eye(s). ]

Then you're reading me all wrong.
