That wish would be fulfilled, the raven not speaking another word, not until the ashen male was okay with noise other than the sounds from the city below.

“I am relaxed.” It’s a bold faced lie as he looks at the water. Although the shard was small, it left the definitive sting through his body. At least it distracted him from the way he knew that vase was never going to be fixed again. “I’m sorry.”

Pulling his hand out from the water, he examines it for only a moment before shaking his head. “I can’t tell. Probably shouldn’t have ran water over it.” He sighs again, looking back towards his room, seeing the remains of the vase scattered around the wood. “Shit.”

The raven gives a reassuring squeeze as he hums quietly. The older male is still trying to figure out what could be wrong, but to no avail. He places a gentle kiss to the back of the hand, rubbing thumb over knuckles.

There was a quiet sigh as he stood from where he was, stepping closer to the younger male. There is still some distance as he sits down again. He reaches his hand out, offering it out for comfort.

He opens his mouth for a moment before closing it again. Truthfully, Ivan is concerned about the other, while it is common for him to act distant, it’s never been this bad. He is worried that breaking the silence could be worse.

sitting on the other side of the room, he is quiet.

He nods slightly, watching the water run over his hands for a moment before finally looking at the silver haired male once again. He doesn’t seem to question the when Till gets onto the counter, it was something he was used to. “My right hand is hurting a bit more than the other one.”

“All of my fingers hurt, If I’m being honest. My first aid kit is in the kitchen, above the sink.” His voice is void of emotion. As if with the crashing of the vase, was the crashing of his emotion. “Why did you do that Till.”

There is hardly a reaction as he continues to stare at the objects, the dried flowers crumbled apart, leaving nothing but the wrinkled stem as salvageable. The crystal tears began streaming down his face as his mind began racing for the worst. His keepsakes. Gone. Just because he got angry.

“ you already are winning Hyuna..” he is pouting once more as he looks through his new cards, sighing softly. its a stupid move considering he is suppose to be trying to keep his cards a secret, but they didn’t have this game in anakt and he’s bad at emotions.

There is a slight gasp as he looks at the hands between the two of them. The brunette having significantly less. “this is you going easy on me.. ?!”

Withdrawing his hand, shaking it a bit before grabbing two. “I’m still getting used to the game.”

// oh.

// i’m not ready

// SO LIKE HOW ARE WE DOING??????

“Care to prove me wrong then?” Ivan is teasing, he knows what buttons to press to get what he wanted. Although, he probably didn’t need to do much pressing as he stepped towards the ashen male.

(He is smiling softly, hoping that it is hidden enough.) I am not impatient, I just… wanted to make sure you kept your end of the agreement.

I know you could. However, Wasn’t it you who said if I was good then I could be the one, unless you want to take that back? (He doesn’t seem to care about beating around the bush.)

I just wanted to see how quickly you would come if you heard me say your name.

Till. @sanguinelullaby.bsky.social

Sighing softly, he rolls over to have his back to the ashen male’s thinking that would help him sleep easier. The ravenette grabs his phone searching up what the words meant. He really was obedient. “𝖮𝖧！” Perhaps he shouldn’t have been surprised considering the phrase was only used when either ⤷

He pauses, a look of confusion on his face. His brows were furrowed both from the tease and from the question. “Not really. I’ve heard you use it on stream before and some people have used it to describe me.” He takes a deep breath, obsidian narrowing to look at viridian. “ I am not obedient.⤷

After the initial shock from the impact of pillow onto face passes, the ravenette displays a small pout. “I understand, I’m sorry for saying that.” His words are genuine, possibly misunderstanding the words Till was saying at the moment. He places a gentle kiss against ash hair before shivering⤷

The ravenette clicks his tongue. As he adjusts to be looking at the ashen male. “Okay few things. One, A second round? What are you in heat? Was my dick actually that good? Two, I could go on for longer, /WAY/ longer, but you wanted to stop, you’re sick. Three, You aren’t much younger, so watch it”

“You said and I quote ‘If I was willing to take care of you for the next two or three, I could put it in right away.’ You knew for a fact that you were going to have a hard time getting around afterwards.” He spoke casually, like it was something that happened often with them. ⤷

The raven quietly hummed in response. They both knew it was the younger male the initiated and suggested it. Ivan was ruffling the ashen hair with a towel. Was it bad that they had bathed again, probably, but with everything that had just went down, it was the only reasonable thing to do. ⤷

He is sitting on his bed staring at the wall in exhaustion, his laptop and papers sprawled out on the sheets. He doesn’t remember the last time he saw anyone, keeping himself cooped up, buried in papers and fabric studies. He doesn’t even remember when he’s ate or drank anything, or even slept.

He sat down defeated, leaning his head back in a feeble attempt to forget the tears. He nodded his head slightly, giving in to the hold that was on his wrists. “ I kept everything I could. Music sheets, drawings, flowers. They are all so special to me. That vase reminded me of our childhood..” +

The bump sends the raven stumbling a bit, more specifically he stumbled into the only desk that wasn’t messed up. On that desk, was delicate vase that hold the items Till had gave him over the year. The shake sent it falling to the floor, immediately shattering into pieces. “NO!” Ivan repeated +

He seemed to have no change in reaction. Looking once more over the state of his ruined room. “No! You leave! You come into MY room and mess up MY belongings AND Expect ME to be the one that leaves?!”

Ivan’s eyes darted to the side while he can feel the viridian on him. His whole body felt as if it was red. Why was he so nervous, Till had seen him like this before on multiple occasions. Once the words enticing the raven to copy the actions left the ashen male, he let obsidian fall to gaze +

He shook his head immediately following the question. The raven prepared himself for the possible tease that would follow due to the speed of his reaction. It was true, part of the older male’s conscious was telling him to stop this, that the feverish male should be resting, and well, this was the+

His breath hitched slightly as he let out a small gasp. He pulled away slightly for a moment as his face immediately flushed with color. He needed to keep himself under check, otherwise Till might question him. (Un) fortunately for the raven, the other part of his brain was too eager and wanting +

The raven went to retort back, being cut off by plush brims against his own. He seemed to melt into the connection, worries leaving his brain. Whatever his boyfriend wanted, he was sure he would be able to provide it to him somehow. He didn’t want the kiss to end, holding the ashen male slightly +

Ivan’s body seems to immediately tense up. What was Till thinking of. What was his now boyfriend talking about. His mind began to race as he tried his hardest to focus on the screen in front of him. “What do you need? Sleep?” He was trying to deduce what the ashen male was referring to +

( He is missing his roommate. Again.)

There is a small sound of enjoyment at the proposal. His heartbeat still quick due to the newfound attraction between the college pair. He shivers a bit at the cough, surprised at it. “So… Does this mean that I don’t have to hide the silly nicknames I call you now?” He tried changing the topic+

( Tilting his head, wanting to know more.) Ah, I supposed as much. I’m still a bit confused if I’m being honest

Ah, I forget that you have a bigger band than some of the other groups on campus. We don’t get a lot of that intel despite being from the same section.

(Dejected slight) She? I didn’t realize you found a female vocalist.

He looked to the clock on the desk, sighing softly. He had missed his evening class, but how was he suppose to tell that to Till without the sick male blaming himself. “Till, It’s already 8 at night. My class ended a few hours ago.” He made sure to keep his arm placed around the younger male. +

It is to me personally, but I know sometimes it can be hard to see that for yourself. Do you even have another vocalist?

He hummed softly, pouting a bit as the kiss ended. “If I’m being honest, even if we weren’t this close right now, I would probably get sick still. It always happens. You get sick and then the next week I am it’s just how it works since we live together.” After the protesting, he places a +

“You think it’s too early to say those words…? I’ve wanted to say them for so long, my heart ached when I couldn’t pull myself to do so. So yeah… I’m feeling comfortable. I’m feeling cared and loved.” The words brought tears to his eyes, how stupid was it for him to cry. Either way, his words were+

Wait, What happened?? I thought everything was worked out from last time

Sound checks for your exam next week or just because you want to make sure you still sound good?

“ Maybe cause I didn’t do anything. I didn’t give you a single suspension aside from my previous actions from when we were children. Why would I take something from you that I KNOW you care about.” He huffed. “You called me to check that I don’t have it on me so just check.”
