[How is he supposed to nap when Vergilius has wound him up as tightly as a coil? Lobelia shivers and it's not because he's cold. This is Verg's fault, all of it, and now he has to live with it.]
Je t'aime aussi~
[If nothing else, Lobelia hopes he's proven to be a good distraction for Vergilius in the wake of all that's happened today. It's hard to think about how miserable you are when you're disgusted and fed up, right?]
[Where did he go wrong? When did his path lead him here? His sins, the weight of his darkness, it all came to this...the manifestation of a SADOMASOCHIST ON HIS CHEST-!]
[...But its true, it is a distraction. Hard to say if its a good one though.]
...Do you really want a "ring" or are you messing with me?
[Don't worry! He's calming down!! Gradually... Vergilius will still feel those full body tremors by proxy, but at least Lobelia isn't escalating. When in doubt, remember that it could always be worse.]
Mm, why not? Rings are a symbol of des couples everlasting devotion to one another, non?
[They've already made The Accursed Blood Pact, so at this juncture, a shiny ring or even a permanent scar to commemorate it is only appropriate.]
[It's fine! This is normal Lobelia behavior! He'll calm down eventually... maybe.]
Still, it's poor form to ask someone for a ring. I would never make such demands of you, rest assured. What you've given me thus far is more than sufficient.
[Lobelia really isn't the kind of guy who would throw a fit and burn all of Vergilius' possessions if he didn't give him a ring. Lobelia is a lot of things, but he isn't that particular shade of unhinged.]
[He thinks about it for a long moment. The memories of the past, falling through his hands like sand. His many markings, evidence of the turmoil of his life.]
[Ah... He could easily drop this conversation and be done with it โ Lobelia did give him an out โ but could it be that leaving their permanent mark on one another would hold some sort of symbolic meaning for Vergilius too?
Lobelia glances up at him, taking Vergilius' hand in his own and encircling his ring finger with his own.]
Are you quite certain that's what you want? I won't humor any second thoughts.
[Lobelia is silent, soaking in Vergilius' answer, before he slowly rights himself and splays Vergilius hand out in his own.]
Comme tu veux.
[With a sharp, piercing whistle, Lobelia carves a jagged circle into the flesh of Vergilius' finger, leaving his indelible mark on his body as well as his soul. The blood flows freely from the wound left behind, crude in its design, but a cleaner injury would stand less of a chance of properly scarring.]
All done! Do your best not to spill blood on your clothes.
[He naturally winces when he feels the shear of pain through his finger, resisting the urge to pull away. But within an instant. It's done. Vergilius glances down on Lobelia's handiwork. A jagged, rough-looking thing.]
There you go. Reminds me of the thorns of my laurels...
[And he's holding it up to grasp the other's cheek, smearing the skin - it fits that it bleeds. His blood, given up for this.]
[Quite fitting and quite beautiful, Lobelia would add, the acridity of spilt blood sharp in his nostrils. Vergilius is as warm as ever, his blood staining his cheek, and Lobelia turns his face to draw his tongue along the heart of the man's palm. Can't help it, sorry! This is him keeping the blood from dripping.]
[If he has to be completely honest with himself, he was asking for it.]
[Those vivid red eyes narrow, more pleased than his neutral expression belies.]
...Blood for blood.
[He could shove him off and draw his gladius to do the deed, but there's something of a slothful feeling that passes through him. No. He doesn't feel like doing that. With his other hand, he pulls the other's wrist, rough hands taking him by the palm before moving up, isolating his ring finger....]
[And taking his mouth to pull it in. His teeth hold onto the base for a brief moment, a blink of the eye, a few seconds, before his jaw opens and he bites down, harshly.]
[A ring that does not connect, but a bleeding ring, nonetheless.]
[It's a harsh, smarting pain, one that is certain to leave a mark. Lobelia feels the rush of blood through his body more keenly than ever, feels the throbbing wound Vergilius leaves behind with such alarming clarity that his breath's stopped up in his throat in the wake of it, a tremble setting into that very same hand.
How wonderful. How lovely. How fulfilling. He's happy.
Happy.
Happy.
Happy.
The moment Vergilius releases his finger from his mouth is the moment Lobelia takes him by the jaw and tugs him into a kiss, the taste of their blood mingling on their tongues. Vows ought to be properly sealed with a kiss, shouldn't they? Happy pride!]
[Happy. Happy. Happy. He tasted it once, in the forms of loved children, beloved coworkers like a family. He lost it. It seems like he was almost fated to, by the drowning ocean of blood in his soul.]
[When Lobelia takes his lips in his with that familiar, metallic taste that feels like the edge of a knife, it almost is like he's tasting happiness again in a new, vibrant flavor. His ring finger smarts. It adds to it.]
[Once more, that rise of that old craving rears its head - he returns the kiss with no hesitation, deepening it almost immediately with a hand clutching the side of Lobelia's head. That restless energy from that horrific void feels like it needs to go somewhere.]
[And where better to go than into a well that constantly begs for it?]
[It's infectious, that frenetic energy, and yet Lobelia has no shortage of it to share himself. To be met with such little resistance, if any at all, thrills him. It wasn't that long ago that true reciprocation was some far flung concept, and yet here they are, the taste of blood on his tongue as pungent as it is cloying.
It's not enough. It's never enough. If Vergilius gives, Lobelia will take. Everything he has, everything he is, until nothing is left of either of them, carving his way into Vergilius' mouth and spilling heated moans into it.
He thought he'd never feel happiness as vividly as he had upon meeting death, but this is a different take on a familiar flavor, a heat that swallows him just as wholly. Lobelia shifts to drop himself in Vergilius' lap, keen to leave no inch of them unentangled. No matter what, he won't allow this flame to be snuffed. Let it consume them both, let it take them to the hell they belong to.]
[Perhaps its concerning, how easily he falls into this. It was an exercise before that felt like pulling a tooth out - like trying to put a muzzle onto a beast that clearly wanted nothing to do with it. He had wanted to deny this man everything. But now, it feels like an extra beat of the heart. An added signature. Something surprising, but meant to be there.]
[Perhaps its even more concerning, how those moans make a fire race under his skin, heating him to his core. Perhaps it should be terrifying, the way he breathes in between increasingly rough, teeth-filled kisses. I want you. I want you. I want you. The solid forefront drops to reveal the fury of the backdrop, eager for more.]
[Scarred hands, one bloody, grasp the other by his waist, covetous of the curve.]
[Reliving those memories seemed like years upon years ago.]
[Vergilius will have to be concerned enough for the two of them, Lobelia's hands slotting into place like puzzle pieces along Vergilius' back, the fit so seamless as to only be natural. Of course, it hadn't always felt that way. Before, Vergilius fought him every step of the way and Lobelia relished in his anger, but somewhere along the way, they reversed course. The opposite became true. They both succumbed to the same madness, occupying that same deep, dark, bottomless well.
Together, they'll fill it. They've the rest of their lives to do so, Lobelia's nails digging crescents into the fabric of Vergilius' blazer, willing it to part from his shoulders. Lobelia is half tempted to ask Vergilius how far he's willing to proceed when Merlin is going to inadvertently benefit from their mutual thirst, but he ignores that temptation in favor of rocking back, spilling onto the shaded grass and willing Vergilius to fall atop him. Ah... and he's bitten Vergilius' bottom lip on the way down, swollen and bloodied, but it's nothing Lobelia doesn't eagerly lap away. It's his, after all. This blood, this man, their shared destiny, now and into eternity.]
[He really doesn't care what Merlin thinks right now. Part of this is mindless escape, after all. The pain lingers from problems he created, problems he couldn't fix. It's time to snuff it out, even if its to be lost in the taste of blood and the feeling of flesh.]
[(This must be wrong. That voice had told him to dwell in self-satisfaction. He had rejected it. To indulge in one's selfish desires was to distort, after all.)]
[(So isn't this wrong? But it feels so right. He isn't distorting. There's blood on his lips, and it makes his nostrils flare, moaning, wanting to pour his heat into Lobelia's being to the point where it burns.)]
[(It feels so right.)]
Mm.
[A little muffled noise, before he returns the favor here - blood now bursts like a pomegranate seed into his mouth. Hades and Persephone, dancing in hell. His hands move with a ferocity almost unseen, ripping open the man's robes so that he can scrape his nails on the skin underneath.]
[And to think this will be at his fingertips forever. What a thought.]
[Lobelia is no stranger to the scent of blood, the taste of it on his tongue, so familiar as to be entirely impartial to it. He had been, but it's different when the blood he tastes is that of the man he owes his entire being to. The taste is sweet, his lifeblood sustaining them both, and Lobelia is grateful for every drop of it.
It spills into his mouth, acrid as anything, and Lobelia folds it into their kiss. Entirely restless beneath Vergilius, Lobelia shifts and twists until the fabric is torn from his body and he can breathe again, just barely, every inch of his body in flames.
His chest heaves beneath Vergilius' touch, ebbing and flowing like the tide, and Lobelia's fingers seize into his hair, knuckles blanched so white his ring finger oozes fresh blood.
To think that they seemed such an ill fit in the not too distant past. Lobelia flaunts his genius openly, but he'd never have imagined they'd ever find mutuality, let alone a fit so perfect for them both. Thinking about it now... well, he can't help a trembling, airy laugh, stealing a page out of Vergilius' book to rasp something obscene in his ear.]
[The whisper tickles his ear, warms it, fills it - it almost feels like a wet lick of a tongue, threatening to melt it away. It's a wonderful thought. To melt into this man, and have him melt into him, and there will never be anything to separate them.]
[He lets out a low, grumbling chuckle of a laugh, shining white teeth as he leans down to sink his teeth into the base of the other's neck. It may be hard enough to draw blood. Even better.]
What - [Another bite.] Do. [A low groan, another bite, right in a line.] You think. [A gasp into his neck, voice rasping and crackling into the warm air.] I'm trying to do-?
[And now he worries into the skin, making bruises blossom into a vivid bouquet of dark red above his collarbone. His hands, wanting to be preoccupied, dive down to start unbuckling his belt, pulling it down and wincing as the fabric touches the raw wound still wet with blood. He's hard. Of course he is. One hand drops to palm over Lobelia too, chest heaving.]
[He's insane. Well. No, he went insane a long time ago.]
pretend i slapped an nsfw warning on this 5 tags ago
[Each subsequent bite is more delightful than the last, blissful aches that give way to raw, blistering pain, and the spill of blood that follows. He wouldn't mind if Vergilius simply devoured him whole, two becoming one, sustenance in return for the man who sustains him.
Lobelia arches into every bite, but it's still not enough, is it? No, it will never be enough, not because Vergilius' touch doesn't gratify him, but because Lobelia will always want for more of it. More, everything, always.
The need for Vergilius is so bad that he's trembling all over, every nerve in his body aching, raw and exposed. He'd apologize for struggling to keep his voice down, but who does Lobelia have to apologize for? He wants to make it clear to Vergilius that he appreciates his efforts, that ravenous appetite, and so he doesn't bother swallowing his sighs.]
H-eheh... Can you blame meโ for my impatience...?
[With that same trembling, bloodied hand, Lobelia reaches down to stroke Vergilius's cock. Maybe he should've dug one of the Twenty Full-sized Bottles of Lube from his pockets, but pleasing Vergilius is much more important. He'll worry about the lesser details later.]
