@wolvesreings still drawing… it was almost done. a perfect sketch of him sipping from the tea while his gaze was on his phone.

it was realistic and beautiful. sungjin would eventually finish, slowly and carefully removing the art from the sketchbook… now hesitantly approaching.

[sungjin @oflostinthewind]

gaze shifting up to look at @wolvesreings before back down at his sketchpad, pencil drawing each characteristic of the other slowly and methodically.

[sungjin @oflostinthewind]

@1stoctoberday at least let me pay if i do eventually need your help... it's bad enough my sisters don't let me pay them for their help...

[sungjin @oflostinthewind]

@1stoctoberday ah... i wouldn't want to bother you with anything. believe me, it's okay.

[sungjin @oflostinthewind]

@1stoctoberday ah, i'm sungjin, by the way... i appreciate you taking the time to talk with me.

[sungjin @oflostinthewind]

@1stoctoberday i have a plan... perhaps a bit unreasonable and very hopeful one but... it's a plan.

. . . you seem to be a good person. i'm sure you're a great one too...

[sungjin @oflostinthewind]

" perhaps i will just have to remind you any time i see you then... if we continue to see each other, of course. "

there was a flinch and a pause in words as the other moved closer, obviously not expecting it. though, he continued speaking as though he hadn't flinched like that.

“ ah，　‘s nothin’ that can be helped . i jus’ have the worst confidence imaginable . thanks for offerin’，　though . ”
a soft hum，　standing up from where he was sitting to move closer to sungjin . studying，　calculating .

[sungjin @oflostinthewind]

perhaps you just taste nice... have you considered that?

( joking as well, moving away entirely now with a soft laugh )

[𝒔𝒖𝒏𝒏𝒚. @DAEYANGMANYEO]

well, clearly you must be lacking something if you randomly start munching on people.

( it's said fondly however, meant only as a joke. )

[sungjin @oflostinthewind]

@1stoctoberday i just... don't know if i could do romantic relationships again. ... perhaps that's silly to say but...

i also have a lot of choices to make right now and i'm uncertain about most of them... so i will wait.

[sungjin @oflostinthewind]

( a pout now )

i eat plenty... don't let my sisters hear you talk that way, they'll start making me eat even more...

[𝒔𝒖𝒏𝒏𝒚. @DAEYANGMANYEO]

did you poor thing not get enough to eat this week ? you must be starving.

[sungjin @oflostinthewind]

@1stoctoberday perhaps... i just...

mmm, perhaps one day... when i'm less alone and not living in my sister's guest room... not that she and her girlfriend mind me but... i don't know how they'd feel about a baby being added to the mix.

[sungjin @oflostinthewind]

( another gentle bite before pulling away with a mischievous grin on his lips )

just a bit...

[𝒔𝒖𝒏𝒏𝒚. @DAEYANGMANYEO]

ah- haaaaaaaoooooouch----

someone's a little chompy today.

[sungjin @oflostinthewind]

" not everyone can be, i've learned... and that's okay. "

there's a smaller smile this time, more for reassurance than happiness, " . . . is there a particular reason why you haven't? perhaps i can help... "

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ⏖ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍𝒃𝒂𝒓𝒃𝒊𝒆 ♡̶𝔡o͜͡𝔩𝔩𓈒 @pinkveIour]

“ wish i was more like ya . ” a shrug —— smiling yet again，　nose scrunched up playfully . “ thanks for that . i might need ya to do it more，　haven’t been feelin’ my best lately . ”

[sungjin @oflostinthewind]

@1stoctoberday i never had a good image of what a father should be... i'm afraid of . . . fucking it up, i guess. plus, i wasn't safe for so long, i couldn't even consider it back then...

but... also, being able to care for another human? especially a baby... it seems perfect for me.

[sungjin @oflostinthewind]

@1stoctoberday that's sweet... i've always wondered if i eventually want kids, honestly...

[sungjin @oflostinthewind]

" . . . all i've known is the cruelty of others, why wouldn't i leave a path of kindness and care? "

there's another blush at the playful wink but his gaze stayed on the other this time, " it's lovely to meet you too... i'm here to compliment you any time you need. "

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ⏖ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍𝒃𝒂𝒓𝒃𝒊𝒆 ♡̶𝔡o͜͡𝔩𝔩𓈒 @pinkveIour]

“ y’are awfully nice . ” a tad suspicious —— but the other seems too innocent，　too nice . so he lets it slide .
“ name’s apollo . lovely to meet ya . thanks for the compliments . ” a playful wink sent his way .

[sungjin @oflostinthewind]

" i don't ask for anything in return for basic human kindness... " sungjin would retort softly, face seeming to lose some of the light for a second or two... before it was instantly back, like the sunshine had never left.

" i'm sungjin... what about you? "

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ⏖ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍𝒃𝒂𝒓𝒃𝒊𝒆 ♡̶𝔡o͜͡𝔩𝔩𓈒 @pinkveIour]

“ ‘m used to compliments comin’ with a price . ”
a brief shrug given —— twirling a strand of his hair around his finger . a little grin playing on his lips at the blush on his cheeks .
“ nah，　‘m fine with it，　nice ego boost . what’s ya name ? ”

[sungjin @oflostinthewind]

there's a confused blink, head tilting to the side, " do... i have to ask for something? what if i just want to compliment you? "

a light blush becoming obvious under those freckles across his cheeks, " am i making you uncomfortable? i can stop... "

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ⏖ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍𝒃𝒂𝒓𝒃𝒊𝒆 ♡̶𝔡o͜͡𝔩𝔩𓈒 @pinkveIour]

his words have apollo blinking in surprise —— this is the most apollo has been complimented while sober . probably ever .
“ wow . okay，　what d’ya want ? why am i bein’ complimented so much ? ”

[sungjin @oflostinthewind]

sungjin was obviously used to the looks... his voice had gotten deeper over the years. some people loved it, other people judged him for it.

" it's hard to put a word to your beauty... however, i feel as though ethereal is a good start. "

the smile growing, gaze lowering now.

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ⏖ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍𝒃𝒂𝒓𝒃𝒊𝒆 ♡̶𝔡o͜͡𝔩𝔩𓈒 @pinkveIour]

a blink given —— pretty boy’s voice does not match his face at all . wow .
a delighted laugh given at his words . “ y’think so ? i’ve never been called ethereal . thank ya very much . ”
