The winter weather was cold and unforgiving. Inevitably rendering any human to a hypothermic state from its frigidness. But Romeo couldn’t feel a thing on his unusually dull skin. His hair that was once golden now matted by blood and melted snow. —

@onceuponalie.bsky.social Laying on the lengthy grass with his arms and legs sprawled. Eyes closed as the sun’s warmth against his skin relaxed him. Since P was occupied with other tasks, Romeo was dreading his absence. Even daydreaming about the two being together.

The blond muffled behind his palms. “Did they really need to hear that, Carlo?”

He hides his red face with both hands.

@kingofpuppets.bsky.social We do love to do everything together.

@onceuponalie.bsky.social Poor blonde man was feeling more needy than the norm, it seems. He crawled atop P until he was sitting comfortably on his lap. Pouting.

With the blanket now snug around him, he cuddled in P’s embrace as he slept.

The kiss caused a red hue to appear on his face. His words making his body clearly relax as he slowly drift to sleep.

“I hope so. Because I have to admit. This feeling is scaring me.” After inching closer to P when his hand was held, he leaned his head on his lover’s shoulder. His eyes closing.

When Romeo reached the bed, the only thing he removed were his shoes. He crawled on the bed and laid beside P. His head still felt as if it was spinning but he attempted to pay no mind to it.

His head shook. “I doubt it. I don’t hear his voice in my head. Maybe this is another problem stemmed to adjusting to things.”

“I wish I could explain, but I can’t.” A hand rest on top of his head. “My mind has been feeling off lately. Like my thoughts are in a daze.”

“Yeah. I really need it, honestly.”

He nodded. “It is what I want. I promise.”

“No. I want to join you. This will just be a lot to adapt.”

He nodded his head. Holding him in his arms.

His head lowered after the last respond. “I still hope what we’re doing is the right thing. You can’t look out for me if we make enemies with those beyond our understanding.”

“I don’t know. I’m sure it will take a while to find out. Lestat still needs time to heal.”

He pressed a hand on the bitten area of his skin. Lips curling into a frown. “At least you got what you wanted, right?”

His eyes widen from his reaction. Romeo who usually be joyful to see him smile. But seeing his smiling with that much eagerness caused him to shiver. Hoping he doesn’t regret his consent. He closed his eyes tightly when his shirt slipped down. His breath hitched from the sharp pain.

“. . .” He mutters. “Fine. Just go easy.”

“Have you forgotten what you are now?!”

“Yeah, yeah. Just don’t bite me to find out.”

“Huh?!”

“Maybe one day.”

@pridefulbrat.bsky.social To have one to one time with the vampiric leader is so uncommon. This thought being reason for Romeo discreetly entering Lestat’s bed chamber without P being by his side, surprisingly. After slowly closing the door, he walked towards the bed. “Lestat?”

His eyes squinted, mumbling a little. “I feel like a softy.”

That respond caused his thoughts to drift to memories of intimate moments. Solemnly cursing himself as his face reddened. “Y-Yeah. Fair point.”

He nodded, his arms now draped around his waist. “You’re right. And I know we’ll keep it that way.”

“And I love you. . . Though, it’s clear you love me more.” He looked down at his arms around his frame. Smiling from the sight. “Of course I’m not complaining. I enjoy all the affection you give.”

Romeo stopped his movements when he became drew in to a particular elder tree. He walked near the tall tree then crouched on one knee to let down P. “You’re not going to weep like that anymore. Not from suffering, at least. I promise that.”

“I try to remember the best I can. From the brink of death. Through the covenant’s manipulation. Memories of us were the only things that helped me keep a firm grasp on my humanity.” He grinned lightly. “Even minute things like that mattered +

His head bowed was he felt a tinge of warmth on his face. This fortunately ending once he realized they were finally arriving in the park. The area appearing like a picturesque forested maze than a typical park for children to roam. +

“Heh. Though I have to admit. I thought my efforts to make you happy during that time wasn’t working.” He looked over his shoulder. “Your anger when it comes to your father was always off the charts.”

“Hm. . . We can go and cuddle somewhere at a park I saw once.” He grinned. Now focusing on their next destination. “We can cuddle up over there. It’ll be a nice change of scenery.”

“Haha.” To deny was impossible to him. Especially since his beloved was behaving so timid and adorable. He nodded. “Consider it done. I can also reward you by doing anything else you request.”

“I don’t know. Do you deserve it? Were you a good boy today?” Meanwhile, he left from out of the hotel. Feeling the need for fresh air. He looked up at the partly clouded sky.

That response made him hold his laughter. “You know? I welcome that.”

He laughed lightly. Since he had a hold of him on his back, he decided to start walking. “You’re not obligated to. So don’t worry.”

The kiss brought a smile on his face. “How can I not? You’re always missed.”

“!!” His arms swift clamped on P’s legs when he felt his weight on his back. “Carlo. Haha.”

His body may have maintained heat again, but there was still warmth from his words. He turned their bodies. Romeo now above him with his hands pinning P’s on the bed. “It’s a good thing my love for you never faltered then.”
