[ Malice, please.

Yamato holds on tight, though, as Malice like. Hops up this goddamn thing. What a man. Yamato looks surprised at the end of it, and it's obvious that Malice is looking for praise, so. ]

What do you want me to say? "Oh, my tall, sexy, strong vampire boyfriend is so cool"?

[ probably exactly that tbh ]

Yeah?

[..........yep.]

I'm tryin' to impress ya, y'know!

[...do you want to be set down? too bad, he's still holding on to you.]

[ He knows, he knows. He laughs and his grin broadens- ]

I'm aware. I'm just teasing you.

[ His cheeks turn a light shade of pink- ]

It was pretty attractive of you, I won't lie.

[cute......]

Good! 'Cause I want my boyfriend to find me attractive!

[Heh heh... He looks so pleased with himself. But then he places a kiss on the corner of Yamato's mouth and lets him down finally.]

What, don't tell me you were worried about that?

[ Malice, please!! Yamato grins at the kiss and gets onto his feet, and then he reaches out to grab Malice's hand again. ]

Of course I do. I don't have eyes for anyone else.

Nah, not worried. I just like to hear it.

[Listen. Listen,,,

But anyway, he looks very pleased with the last part, gripping Yamato's hand back just as tightly.]

I'm glad ya don't. I wanna keep you all to myself.

[Part of that is simply vampires being territorial over things that are "theirs" and part of that is just Malice things.]

[ That -- that notably makes his heart skip a beat. Honestly...he likes that a lot. ]

Yeah, well, you've already been doing that, and it's not changing.

[ He won't add "anytime soon" to that, because no, it's never changing. He has decided to fully give Malice his heart, and that's that. ]

Haha...look at you. Making me all sappy.

Said as though I'd mind it? It makes me happy to hear it.

[He grins and then tugs on Yamato's hand to lead him over to some of the scattered stones. This is a pretty good place to sit and stare at the stars!]

Try not to get too distracted by my dashin' looks an' charmin' personality, though. We're here to stargaze, remember?

Just as long as you don't get distracted by mine.

[ These two...please.

Anyway, yeah, stargazing. Yamato sits next to him on the stones -- it may not be the softest place to sit, but it is a nice view, and he'll glance up at the sky, since that's what they came here for. ]

I didn't know you were into this sort of thing.

[That gets a laugh from Malice and once they're settled, he leans against Yamato, staring up at the sky.]

Always have been. I used to try to count all the stars when I was a kid. Never really got very far before I gave up, though.

[He hums for a moment before adding onto that.]

Cody used to join me sometimes. He'd always go on an' on 'bout if humans are like the sun, then vampires are like the night sky... but he always compared me to the stars. Bright, shinin' light among the darkness, offerin' a way forward to those willin' to look for it.

[...]

He was wrong 'bout me, back then. But I'd like to be worthy of that kinda praise someday.

Someday?

[ He says it immediately after Malice finishes his sentence. Sure, the betrayal wasn't exactly the kindest decision, but Malice is trying to do better now. He regrets it. And if Yamato were offered the same thing in Malice's shoes, knowing his world... ]

Nah. Not someday. You're worthy of it right now.

[ He likes that comparison a lot, actually. ]

I don't think I've ever properly expressed everything you've done for me...but it's definitely something like that. Pulling me out of a dark place and all of that.

[O-Oh... Now this is the kind of praise that Malice isn't used to or expecting to hear and he colors slightly at it. His grin is a little lop-sided, like he's not quite sure that's the expression he should be wearing, but it's still an earnest expression and one that's clearly pleased with the praise.]

I did what I could for ya, an' I'm glad it helped. An' I'm really happy to hear that. It's... somethin' I think I still need to work for. But knowin' I've done this much for you... it means a lot to me, Yama.

[His grip tightens on Yamato's hand at that.]

[ Yamato catches a glimpse of Malice's expression -- it's cute. Really cute, actually. He squeezes his hand in kind. ]

Yeah, of course. I'm not always the best with words, but I'll remind you of that whenever you forget. Okay?

You're too good to me.

[How did he end up lucky enough to get a wonderful boyfriend like Yamato? It's the luckiest Malice has ever been. As if to express his thanks for that, he leans in to kiss Yamato.]

[ Kissing Malice is easy as breathing, now, and he returns the kiss. It's gentle but no less affectionate, especially with how he lets it linger. He squeezes Malice's hand again as a way to communicate without words. It's his way of telling Malice I love you, actually.

He smiles into the kiss. This is nice. This is comfortable and new all the same. The stars make it so. ]

[He can tell. Of course he can tell, because reading Yamato comes easily to him now, and he's just as proud of that as he is proud of his physical abilities. It means a lot to him, that they can communicate so much to one another without words.

And his I love you is much the same - deepening the kiss, tightening his grip on Yamato's hand, and turning a bit to pull him close with his prosthetic arm, all to express that same wonderful sentiment. Though this isn't truly new for them, the change in scenery and the silence of the world around them is, and that alone makes it exciting. They don't have to worry about being interrupted or distracted by anyone else out here.]

[ Yamato knows what that means, and he, too, is really happy that they can say so much without needing to speak. He likes being able to pick up on all the ways Malice shows his affection. This is one of those ways, and it's very, very nice.

Malice might be able to hear Yamato's heart picking up speed, especially when he gets tugged closer. His free hand moves to settle on the back of Malice's neck before it slides to his cheek, and Yamato finds himself following his boyfriend's lead by also deepening the kiss on his end, too.

He breaks the kiss for air, but it isn't long until he's moving back in again to kiss his boyfriend deeply. ]

[He catches his breath before Yamato pulls him back in, and Malice goes eagerly. He returns that kiss just as passionately, stars forgotten despite his earlier warning. Whoops, looks like he was indeed distracted by his incredibly attractive boyfriend. Oh well.

Malice's grip on Yamato is tight, keeping him pressed close so there's no room between them. After all, what better way to express his feelings than being aggressively possessive of his boyfriend??]

[ Cute...cute. Yamato likes that a lot, and he lets out a quiet noise, one that indicates that he likes how things are going very, very much. He likes kissing his boyfriend, even more so when it escalates.

He pulls back one more time, lips kiss-swollen, and his voice is low and soft when he speaks. ]

Hey. Can I ask you something?

[Malice allows Yamato to pull back and ask his question, good eye lidded. He hums in response, as if he has to think it over, but his answer is likely already pretty obvious.]

'Course. You know you can ask me anythin'.

[ He turns a bright shade of pink again, but he lightly taps Malice's thigh with his hand - ]

Can I sit here?

[ Yamato?? Topping?? In THIS economy??? ]

[That gets an exhale that is dangerously close to a laugh from Malice.]

I'd like nothin' more.

[He pulls back enough so that Yamato can settle on him, eye watching Yamato's movements closely; though perhaps possessively or even hungrily would be more accurate.]

[ Oh, okay, cool. Yamato moves -- hesitantly, but he goes for it anyway -- and he sits on Malice's lap, straddling him carefully. There's some distance between them, but not enough to keep Yamato away from his boyfriend.

He looks shy about it, though, and smiles nervously once he's on top. ]

Good?

[Malice grins once Yamato settles, reaching up to rest both hands on Yamato's hips. He doesn't move to pull his boyfriend closer - best to let him go at his own pace, after all.]

Very. I like havin' you this close.

[But it could be closer, he thinks. Loudly. Are you following his train of thought, Yamato??]

[ He sure is, and it makes him blush even more madly, but he obliges.

He scoots up further onto Malice's lap, and ends up winding his arms around his boyfriend's neck. ]

Is that better?
