broken heart-strings (seer x embalmer, +more ships apparently)

thirty-four

Aesop felt warm. Usually, he had matches this early in the morning or would go straight to Joseph's room to make sure he wasn't planning any shit, but he couldn't get up this time. His head was pounding, as the soft hand continued to gently run through his hair.

He was bundled up in Eli's chest, as the smaller boy held him and ran his hands through his hair. He just wrapped his arms around Eli's torso, burying his face back into the boy's chest.

Eli was barely awake this morning, murmuring softly and running his hands all through Aesop's hair and down his back. The silver-haired boy was crying so hard the night before, so Eli took it as his responsibility to calm him and hold him through the night.

Usually.... it's totally the other way around. Aesop always holds and comforts Eli, as he is the strong one and Eli can't take many things after everything that has happened to him, but it was recently switched around. Honestly, both of them felt comfortable and comforted in the current situation, which is always nice.

"Good morning..." Aesop mumbled lightly, refusing to take his face from his lover's chest, as the sunshine was coming in through the window. Eli stretches his legs out behind him, lightly rubbing Aesop's shoulder, before letting go and falling onto his back. Aesop scooted up a bit and attached himself to Eli's right upper arm.

"Good morning to you too. How'd you sleep?"

Aesop buried his face into Eli's shoulder, to which the other boy just glanced at him and smiled.

"Actually... good. Only because you were there, though."

Eli nodded gently, before bringing his right arm up and running it through Aesop's hair again gently.

"Good. I didn't really sleep. I was busy thinking."

"About?"

Eli paused. He didn't know how to say it. After a moment of thinking, he decided. There was no point in lying or sugarcoating anything to Aesop. From now on, shit was gonna be real.

"You. Us. Just what's happened between you and me and to in individually in this past while. It's scary, but it's set us where we are right now."

Aesop felt his lips part.

"And... where are we right now? What are we right now?"

Eli felt his heart start to beat faster. Everything in him felt tense, as he gripped the back of Aesop's shirt gently. He closed his eyes.

"We're... two very hopeless and sad people who just happen to be straight up in love. We're two people in the best group of friends in the world. We're in love with each other despite all we've been through and feel. I realize that now; I'm always going to love you no matter what and I'd like to believe you feel the same. And lastly..."

Eli sighed, letting his body relax. His face came up with a smile, and a chuckle built behind his next words.

"we're the most chaotic couple to ever be in existence."

Hearing Eli say things like couple and in love made Aesop's face bright red. He felt like him and Eli totally switched places right now, as he nuzzled into the boy's shoulder more. Eli just sighed, before shaking the other boy off and sitting up.

Aesop sat up as well, looking at Eli in the eyes. He wasn't sure what to do, so he disconnected. Maybe his body was smarter than his mind anyways.

-:-:-

Skin on skin.

Scratch that.

Hot skin on hotter skin.

Eli felt so vulnerable in this, but also so safe, as Aesop's cool hands ran over his bare torso.

Somewhere in this little kissing situation they got themselves tangled in, Eli's shirt got removed.

After the short breath, Eli smashed himself back up against the other, his body not paying attention to his mind and just craving the touch.

The only thing between their almost touching chests was Aesop's hand. He had put it up to push Eli back for air.

After he had kissed him once, the smaller boy never stopped asking for more with his body movements.

Well... he is sitting on Aesop's lap with his legs totally wrapped around him and his arms tightly around his neck.

Aesop ran his hands up Eli's sides, making him shiver. Without saying anything, his lips parted from the other's and moved down to his neck.

A loud gasp escaped Eli's lips, as Aesop just continued to move around there.

Everything felt good, when-

"Oh my god!"

Aesop hit a certain spot right above Eli's left collarbone at a soft point, which made him gasp out those words and arch his back.

The boy slammed his hand over his mouth, his face going bright red. Aesop couldn't help but lean back a bit and laugh loudly, as the other began to screech and start to push away.

"No, Eli, it's fine-"

"OH MY GOD! I CANT BELIEVE I JUST-"

Aesop grabbed Eli's waist, ripping him forward and shutting him up. He glanced into the boy's eyes before slowly going back to the place that made that reaction.

His lips lightly ran over it, making Eli shiver deeply and slam his hand over his mouth again.

Before either of them could do a thing, that place was being abused by the amused, silver-haired male.

-:-:-

"I can't fucking believe you."

Aesop couldn't help but laugh again, as he ran his hand under Eli's chin and lifted it up.

After all the action, which went on for a long while, the two took a short nap.

Now, Eli was fuming, sitting on the edge of the bed. When he woke up, he got one glimpse of his neck and chest in the mirror and screamed loud enough the other wake up.

Now, he was sitting there, with Aesop standing in front of the bed, smiling widely.

"It's not fucking funny!" Eli screamed out, but didn't move. Aesop was running his soft and gentle hands over the places that were sticking out from the boy's white skin.

They were high on his neck to down on his chest, a few also scattered across his stomach and other places. It made Aesop laugh again.

Eli just groaned, throwing his head in his hands.

Aesop grabbed his chin, gently pushing it up and looking at all the wounds more.

"Aesop... I-.."

Eli felt tears coming up in his eyes. He wasn't really mad at Aesop, just frustrated with something else.

"How am I gonna hide all this?"

-:-:-
