Last night was probably the craziest thing ever. I would have never imagined taking something like an old ancient wendigo down. Let alone watch Julian actually transform into an actual gargoyle. He was bigger than me and toppled the Crypt like it was nothing. However, he dropped to the ground which is usually normal for him. I'm guessing the power he unleashed caused his stamina to drop. It was his first time so, it's not like he mastered it already. The least I can do is check up on him this morning. I hope that nasty stomach wound healed already.
I walk down the hall and stop at his door. Lifting a hand to the door, I pause. Something stirs in the back of my mind but I'm not quite sure what it is yet. The others were still in their rooms and the sun had just begun to rise.
I knock twice and stand there awkwardly, awaiting a response. After a minute or two passes, I gently open the door. I suck a breath in and step in.
Julian lays there completely knocked out. Silvaus had helped me carry him to his room but I guess in the process he decided to just leave him there. Typical Silvaus, always doing stuff and not fixing any mistakes. On top of that Thando had instructed us to remove only his top so that she could examine the claw mark. Basically, he's laying on top of the bed...topless.
I close the door and slowly walk over to him. Inching towards his I stop and hover over him. After waiting for a bit I decided to pinch his nose. He stirs and rolls to the side. Then I do the only thing I know how; jump on him.
His eyes shot open he lays there, staring at me. I glare back down at him slowly get off. I sit there and he looks down at his chest. After a few seconds, he freaks out and almost falls off the bed. "Where is my top?! How did I back here? Why do I feel exposed?" He panics, blurting out questions. Julian regains his posture and covers his chest.
I laugh and put a hand on his head. "You're fine. Everything's fine. Do you remember what happened last night?" I ask. He nods and sighs, looking up at me. "We were fighting that wendigo and I guess my body finally went into survival mode. I'm not quite sure if that's what triggered it. I passed out after we won" he answers, putting his hand on his forehead.
I wrap my arms around him and grin. "It's all over now. Now I just have to figure out what to do about going home. I just want my bed and stuff back" I sigh. He wraps his arms around my waist and presses his forehead against mine. "Do you think they'll still be angry or just forget?" He asks, whispering to me. I roll my eyes and snort. "Who knows. I don't care one bit."
I find my face inching towards him and stop. Did I want this? I know much earlier I suspected him to but he didn't. Did he know I wasn't ready and that I was holding back?
Julian shifts his body and cradles me in his arms. My heartbeat quickens and I stare back at him. He smirks and I frown. "W-what are you up to?" I ask, almost fumbling on my words. He lifts his hand to my cheek, cupping it. We stare at each other for a while then he speaks. "May I?" He asks.
I hesitant and ponder for a moment. I did want to but what was the cost of being interrupted? Screw it! I don't care anymore. It was now or never. Well, we still had time but it can take a bit for me to be comfortable.
I nod and he goes in. I close my eyes and feel his hair tickle my face. A few seconds pass and I hear him withdraw. I open my eyes and see him frowning. "Are you okay?" I ask, looking at him in concern. Julian nods and places his hands over his face. "I um...thought I could do it. I'm actually terrified right now. I'm sorry" he responds, looking away from me. I grab his arms and guide them to my waist. I look up at him and watch his eyes widen. He's completely petrified right now but who's to say I'm not?
I lean towards him, lifting my hands to his face and wrapping my arms around his neck. His body is definitely stiff and ridge now. I look at him and narrow my eyes. "Don't get me wrong. I'm scared too but I want this as well. You definitely deserve this, especially for last night" I say, inching towards his face. He gulps and nods. "Are you sure you still want to?" He then asks. His expression changes from terrified to calm.
I lean in and close my eyes. Our lips brush up against each other and I tilt my head to the side. I press mine into his and feel my body heat up. I feel his fangs brush up against my lips and his arms wrap around me. He deepens the kiss between us and I feel his chest press-up against mine. I slowly lower my hands to his back and pull him down towards me. We land on the bed and stop.
We lay there panting, with flushed faces. Julian hovers over me and I stare back at him. "I-I didn't mean to push you to do anything you didn't want to...sorry" I awkwardly apologize. He shakes his head and laughs. "No, it's alright. I felt like I was in pure bliss. Can I try something? I'm not trying to alarm you or anything" he asks, gazing down at me. I nod and feel his breath tickling my neck.
"Wait...what are you doing?!" I ask, panicking slightly. He doesn't respond and my fear heightens. I can hear my heartbeat in my ears at this point.
His lips press-up against my neck and I feel myself slightly squirm. He kisses up my neck and nuzzles me. I squeal and close my eyes. "What did you think I was going to do? Bite you?" He asks, murmuring. I open my eyes then glare at him. "Really? You said you weren't trying to alarm me!" I protest. He wraps an arm around me, pulling me closer to him. "I didn't mean it like that. I didn't know you were going to get worked up" he muses.
I growl and plant a kiss on his forehead. "We better check to see if everyone else is okay. I have no idea how long we've been like this" I mumble. "Why not just walk downstairs and sit for a bit? I don't think trying to barge into their rooms and assaulting them is going to help" Julian teases me. I glare at him and tackle him off the bed. I hover on top of him and smirk. "Didn't Silvaus say not to underestimate me? Don't push it, pretty boy!" I growl.
He lays there in astonishment then sighs. "Aw, I was just beginning to like you. You had to go and ruin it" he teases, winking at me. I huff in annoyance and lean down, kissing his nose. He frowns slides himself away from me. I raise an eyebrow and stare at him. "What? Do you hear anything? Is someone coming?" I ask in concern. He stares at me silently for a moment then snickers. "I was about to tell you that I was about to threaten you with neck kisses. That nose kiss felt pitiful" he replies, furrowing his brow.
"Is that a challenge? I don't like challenges but if you insist" I assert, smirking and standing up. I watch as Julian takes a good long look at me. He gets up then darts out the door.
