"Whatever the other wants?" Caddell was actually curious as to what the other had in store for him if he lost... maybe he'd try his luck not using his magic to hide... he knew the perfect place anyways. Dashing through the forest, the young druid seemed rather excited as he leaped over bushes... he enjoyed the feeling of the breeze through his hair. Carefully, he crawled into one of the bushes, one that was dense and had matching flowers and branches as his crown did.... now it was only a matter of time...

[Atemluver]

"97......98.....99...100, here I come!" After he had finished counting to 100 he took off into the forest to find the spirit. The forest was pretty vast, how exactly was he supposed to find the spirit in all of this!? He could be anywhere! Damn, maybe he picked the wrong game to play after all. He let out a small sigh and walked along the bank of the creek. He stared into the blue water as he walked, watching the fish. He looked up suddenly and began walking deeper into the forest, getting little closer to Caddell with every step, or so he thought.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

Caddell felt impatient as he sat in the bush, feeling a bit antsy. When would the other give up or find him already? He wanted to get out of the bush... he back hurt from sitting the way he was in the bush. Forcing himself to be perfectly still, he let out low, shallow breaths, not wanting to purposely give away his hiding spot... but he was still curious as to what the other would want from him if he won...

[Atemluver]

Lazaro made his way towards a row of bushes that kind of reminded him of the flowers on Caddells flower crown. Well it was more like a thorny flower crown, but whatever. He went up to one of the bushes and parted it with his hands looking inside of it. No sign of Caddell in this bush. He kept going over, and over to the different bushes and looking inside of them. All to no avail. Until he finally came upon the last of the bushes and looked inside of it, hoping that Caddell was in this one.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

 

The tiny male could hear the other shuffling through the bushes... was he going to win? The other male didn't seem to notice the fact he was in one of them... with a satisfied smirk, he clenched his fists in excitement, he had won! Though... something tingled in his nose... And that was when he sneezed. It was a rather recognizable sneeze... and he felt embarrassed. Why did his nose have to choose to act up now of all times!?

[Atemluver]

Just when he was about to give up on looking for the spirit he heard a sound. Lazaro smirked slightly when he heard the recognizable sneeze of Caddell. He moved over to one of the bushes where he heard the sound from and peeked inside of it, spotting the tiny spirit inside of it. "I found you~~ Looks like I won Caddell."

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

 

"Shut up..." whined the small spirit as a dark blushed stained his cheeks, glancing up at the other with a nervous yet excited look on his face. He was curious as to what the other was going to make him do... and if he was going to brag about this victory. Standing up and getting out of the bush, he stood in front of the man, still naked from before, not bothering to get dressed.

[Atemluver]

He smiled knowing he won, and that Caddell wan't too pleased about it. "Well, since I won you have to do one thing I say. And the thing I choose is, you have to wear a piece of clothing that I pick out for you." He smiled gently, knowing that the spirit is not going to wear any form of clothes if he doesn't push for it. He knows the spirit told him that humans told him he was disgusting before, and it was probably just because the spirit didn't bother to wear clothes when he confronted them. Well if someone doesn't swing that way and they just happen to see some guy naked trying to kill them, it isn't exactly the most pleasant of situations. Especially since nudity is illegal in the cities.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

"Finee..." murmured the small spirit quietly as he crossed his arms and pouted the slightest bit, "I miss my old shirt. Those clothes that you made me wear yesterday weren't very comfy." He was talking about that shirt he had been wearing for about... 100 years. He didn't even know where it was. All he knew was that it smelt like blood. And this was the one thing that the man wanted from this game? He was partially surprised, to say the least. He wondered if they were going to play more games today. "What are you going to make me wear?"

[Atemluver]

He smiled at the spirits question. Surely he had no idea for what the spirit would like to wear, so instead he thought of an ingenious plan. "Why don't you pick it out~ I'll go to the store and you using your magic can tell me what one you like and I can get it and bring it back for you! Surely you don't like standing out here stark naked either.. So what do you say?" Lazaros face was hopeful, he really did want to make the spirit happy... He hopes the spirit finds this idea good as well.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

"Can I just have my old shirt back, please? If I have to choose, I choose my old shirt..." murmured the tiny spirit as he pulled on the other's shirt. He missed his old shirt... he seemed to have some sort of strange attachment to the object, "Please?" His voice sounded like he was pleading... he really just wanted that old, "brown" shirt back. "I don't want any other clothing... unless I can wear your shirt...put not that itchy one you made me wear... the itchy one feels weird."

[Atemluver]

His smile dissipated from his face. Why would a spirit want a dirty bloody shirt like that? "I thought it would be fun to you know...change up your outfit every 1000 years..." Lazaro mumbled to himself. His face perked up when he heard the spirit say that he wouldn't mind wearing his shirt. He took off his shirt that he was wearing and handed it to the spirit. "Will this do?"

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

The spirit smiled softly when the other took off his shirt... it looked rather comfortable. Taking it in his hand, he then slipped it over his bare body, and giggled, "I look so silly! But it's really comfy!" The druid rubbed his nose softly before looking at the other's bare chest.... Lazaro was so handsome... why could he look like that? Oh right... because he couldn't age. Pouting the slightest bit at the thought, he glanced away, "Why can't I be as pretty as you are?"

[Atemluver]

Lazaro smiled at the spirit, he seemed to be enjoying his new shirt. It definitely looked better than that brown atrocity he had on before. He blinked a few times when the spirit mentioned that he was pretty. He certainly was flattered, but the spirit was far more beautiful than him. He bent down slightly so he was the same height as the spirit. "But you are pretty Caddell. You're just your own kind of pretty. What flower is prettier a Rose or a sunflower? Some people may say the rose, while others may say the sunflower. But that doesn't mean one of the flowers is prettier than the other." He spoke calmly with a soft smile on his face.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

"Mhm...but I'll never be able to look anything like you...I'll never know what it's like to be your age..I'll never get to blossom..." murmured Caddell quietly as he hooked his arms around the other's neck, nuzzling his nose into the other's cheek rather affectionately. "Are we going to play any more games today, Lazaro?" He felt curious... he wasn't sure hwat he wanted to do with the rest of the day... though more games couldn't hurt anybody.

[Atemluver]

"Never is a pretty long time." Lazaro told Caddell as he lightly ruffled the teens hair. "Hmm?" He said in a questioning tone. "You want to play more games? That's fine by me....I picked the last one so it's only fair that you get to pick this one." He smiled slightly wondering what the spirit would decide to choose as his game. He wouldn't be too surprised if it turned out to be a kissing game.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

I'm bad at picking out games." muttered the druid quietly as he thought, inhaling the scent of the other deeply before saying, "We can go swimming. I'm really bad at picking games to play...I'm sorry..." The pale being continued to hug the other, as if he didn't want to let go anytime soon. Yawning softly, he flicked his long, pointed ears.

[Atemluver]

Lazaros face paled. "S-swimming you say? Sorry but I can't swim..." He said looking slightly away from the spirit. "Um I can watch you swim if that is what you want." Lazaro downplayed the question with a laugh, there was definitely something fishy about the way he was reacting. "Does this forest even have big enough bodies of water to swim in? All I have seen so far have been creeks."

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

The tiny male sighed softly as he said, "The creek has pretty deep water. But we don't have to go swimming... especially sink you can't swim...I don't want you to have to watch me..." murmured Caddell with a small huff as he pulled away from the other and smiled. Slowly, he laid down on the ground, saying, "We can always sun-bathe... because I'm a spirit, I can't get sunburned... but I don't know about you..." Caddell could tell that there was something up with Lazaro. He was acting weird... well, when he mentioned swimming at least... And that was when Caddell remembered his injury... He was feeling a lot better than he did last night, though it still hurt a little bit.

[Atemluver]

"Sunbathe?" Lazaro questioned as he raised an eyebrow slightly. He had never done something of the sort before. In the city it wasn't exactly the best conditions to sunbathe, so that might have contributed to it. "I can get sun burnt quite easily, especially since I'm a natural ginger....but I have sunscreen so don't worry." Lazaro gave caddell a gentle smile, and noticed that the teen seemed to be in a slight bit of pain. "Does your wound hurt Caddell?" He questioned with a worried look in his eyes.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

"No, I'm fine. There's no need to worry about me." said Caddell quietly as he nuzzled his head into the ground. The other seemed to be worried... and he seemed to be acting weird today. With a slight sigh of confusion, the young man buried his head into his arms, glancing up at the other... He was curious if they were going to do anything that revolved around that word..."love"... that Lazaro mentioned the other day. "Hey...Lazaro..."love"...how does "love" work?"

[Atemluver]

Lazaro stared down at Caddell when he questioned, 'what is love'. Even though he felt that he had a pretty good grasp on the concept, it is still extremely difficult to try and put it into convincing words. "Well...I guess the meaning of love changes for every person who uses it. Love can be romantic, or love can be just explaining how passionate you are about something. neither definition is wrong, just it all depends on the person. I could say that you love the forest, which is a true statement. You want to nurture it, and protect it, and you would be hurt if anything happened to it. And I love you...I want to protect you, and I would be hurt if anything happened to you, but my love is a little different...."

 

Lazaro stopped there, not wanting to fully explain his definition of the word "love".

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

 

Caddell blinked a few times at the other's explanations, and then smiled. His smile was rather toothy, revealing the sharp, fang-like teeth that he had. His red eyes were opened with glee as he murmured quietly, "Well...I guess I love you too... I don't want you to get hurt either... that would make me sad..."

 

The young druid played with his crown the slightest bit, before he took it out of his hair. When it was placed on the ground, more hair came down... he had slightly long black hair, that dusted right over his shoulders. He actually looked like a rather...well, he looked a bit older than he did before, actually. But it made him look a bit more feminine.

 

"Why....um...when you first met me...and you were touching me the way you were... why did you say that you were teaching me "love"?"

[Atemluver]

Lazaro watched Caddell give him a slight toothy smile, and it made him happy to see that the other was learning to trust others more. When the spirit let down his hair, Lazaro was captivated by how nice the spirits hair looked. It was a beautiful black, despite the spirit hating the color of his hair, Lazaro found it extremely beautiful.

 

"You look good with your hair down," he began until he heard the spirits question. His face turned slightly red. Crap, he didn't want to explain that kind of love. He coughed before answering the spirits question. "While there are many different definitions for love...and the one I gave you was just one. But some people also consider sex a form of love too....though it isn't always..." He felt like he was rambling, he wasn't so sure on what to say to the spirit.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

 

 

"I don't really like putting my hair down.. because I hate knowing that I have more of the color in my hair...though, I knew you'd like it." He noticed the other's blush that came to his face after he asked the question. Lazaro looked cute when his face was a burning red. Glancing up at the other with a small smile, he asked quietly, "Can we...um...try that type of love again?" Blinking a few times, his sinfully dark eyelashes batting against his cheek, he murmured, "Is the reason why people like...that type of love... is because they are "one"...because they are together in that way? I've seen animals act that way...and their bodies... were united... can we....be united, Lazaro?"
