Fire of the Forest (Zombie and Gladis) [18+]

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Character:

 

 

 

 

Name: Raphael Grey

 

Age: 20

 

Personality: Extremely flirty - that's the first thing anyone would think about him. Perverted, even. His closer friends don't hide the fact that he's a risk-taker, and in general, he likes to try out new things. He dislikes staying in one place for too long, be it literally or not. Raphael is ambitious, but won't hesitate to drop something he dislikes. His main policy in life is "If you don't want to do it, don't do it". Secretly, he's afraid of ghosts and monsters, as when he was a child he would see them... Or, well, imagine them. He didn't know for sure, but he remembered the horrible nightmares even at this age.

 

---

"I can't believe you're making me do this." Raphael groaned as he tossed his bags on the bed. "Look, just 'cause I don't know what college I want to go to doesn't mean you can toss me away here!" He spoke loudly to the woman and man in the doorway; his parents.

 

"Sweetheart, you're better off here. At least you won't spend all of your time... You know." Listening to his mom, Raphael just scoffed and tilted his head slightly. "I won't spend all of my time what? With my friends? My horrible, horrible friends that apparently do nothing else than smoke and drink?" He groaned, plopping down on the bed.

 

"Just get out of here." He grunted quietly, waiting until the two of them listened to his request. Once they did, he sat up, a frown on his face. Seriously, he still couldn't believe they did this to him. With a quiet sigh, the blond grabbed the amulet on his neck and got up, opening the window to slip out unnoticed. They made him go to his grandparents; aka half-dead people who were so Christian, it hurt. Sure, his lifestyle wasn't the best, but it was his lifestyle!

 

Jumping out the window, the man began strolling towards the forest. Might as well clean his head a little... Closing his eyes, the blond stepped into the woods, weird calmness overtaking him. He let his feet carry him wherever they could, but, as everything else, they failed him. As he was looking up at the sky, the blond managed to trip over a big tree root, falling straight on his face.

 

"Oh, come on!" He groaned loudly, pushing himself off of the ground without realizing the amulet had slipped off. He was too frustrated at the whole universe being against him as he stood up, a shudder running through his body. As Raphael looked around, he found himself without a clue of where was the way out. "Fuck."

[Gladis]

 

Human Form

 

Fox Form

 

Name:

He commonly refers to himself as "Ren". It is most likely not his true name.

The name is written with the Japanese Kanji 恋 (Love, Romance)

 

Age:

Unknown. He's well over a few centuries old.

 

Personality:

What's the best way to describe him? Ren may come off as slightly vain or arrogant to begin with, as he has a tendency to look down on everyone in his vicinity. This is not without good reason. Ren is a god, after all, and would never hesitate to demonstrate this. Even so, it is not impossible to gain his respect. He prides himself in his heritage and what he is, which becomes evident with the way he acts around people. Although Ren can seem short tempered and grumpy, sometimes even cold, he is in fact a very warm and passionate individual (as is befitting a fire spirit). It's clear he cares for the forest he has adopted as his domain, as he will go to any lengths to keep it safe. The same would apply to whatever else he holds close to his heart. It should however be noted that Ren is reluctant to let anyone in. After so many years of solitude, Ren has retreated far into a shell, his only way of warding his own emotions. He won't admit even to himself that he's lonely – and that he longs to one day return home.

 

 

Located quite a distance from Eastmoor, a small village in the south of England, was an old shrine which seemed to be very much out of place. It had been built in the middle of a large forest and looked in every sense as though it belonged in a picture book from Japan. Indeed, at some point in history, someone had erected a shinto shrine where you would perhaps have suspected it the least. It wasn't particularly large or fancy and over the span of many years it had come to look rather abandoned and run-down. The red paint had long since faded from wooden pillars, the roof was in dire need of repairs and the stone pavement leading up to the shrine had cracked in several places. Even so, one would be a fool think no one lived there or cared for it anymore.

 

Seated on stairs made of rock was what appeared to be a young man. His features fine, complexion so fair and body slender granted him a beauty not of human kind. He wasn't particularly tall, yet still emitted an air authority and pride. Usually, at least. At the moment the fox spirit looked rather pitiful. His long red hair had gotten wet in the recent shower. His ears drooped and every one of his seven tails which he would usually put so proudly on display, seemed to have lost some of their red color. His amber gaze was fixed at an undecided point in the distance and displayed nothing but sadness. It was as though he were faithfully waiting for someone, yet long since had given up hope of their return.

 

That was, until an unfamiliar voice reached his ears.

 

"Fuck."

 

Ren looked up in surprise, pricking his ears in mild curiosity. It appeared as though someone had gotten lost in the forest – and it was not one of the usual villagers. He hesitated briefly, then formed a fist with his pale hand. When he opened it again, there was a small, purplish blue ball of fire levitating only a few centimeters above it. He made a slight, pushing motion with his hand and watched quietly as the ball of float off towards the trees. If everything went as planned, the ball of fire would lead the foul mouthed human to the fox God's shrine.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Raphael wandered through the forest without a clue where he was heading to, with each step feeling more uncomfortable. His chest had begun to feel tighter, each step was harder to take. He felt like he was being watched, and not just by one person... Thing?

 

The blond stopped, hand raising to clench his amulet. That was when panic really shot up - it wasn't there. Fuck, he must've lost it when he fell down... The man's eyes widened as he looked around anxiously and began trying to find his way back. Did he find it? Of course not, he just got himself more lost.

 

Raphael found himself in the worst situation of his life, that he was sure of. Just as he was about to sit down on the ground and wait for someone to find him, in the corner of his eye he noticed a... Ball. A flying ball. His jaw dropped as he stared at the thing that was getting closer and closer to him. "Oh fuck no." He muttered, trying to kick it away. The ball just got closer. Fuck.

 

The blond stared at the foreign object, crossing his fingers. He really hoped he was either dreaming or these were the effects of some new drug... But he hadn't taken anything in the past week. Fuck. The ball stopped right in front of him, moving the slightest bit before moving towards another direction. It almost seemed like it was telling Raphael to follow it... Bullshit. Then again, if this was a dream, this would be his way out.

 

Standing up, the man pushed his hands into his pockets, his breathing uneven and sharp. He began following the weird ball of fire, eyes darting to the sides in hopes of seeing his amulet or maybe a way out. Instead, when he rose his eyes up, he was greeted by a truly majestic view. A shrine, a huge one! It looked like something from a movie, honestly... The ball of fire had disappeared by then. The blond slowly walked through the pillars, looking around with curiosity rising, taking fear's place.

 

"What the hell am I supposed to do now?!" He exclaimed to no one, groaning as he ran a hand over his messed up hair. He wanted to get home, no matter how majestic this was.

[Gladis]

"Why do humans always need to be so noisy?" scoffed the fox spirit. Though his voice echoed through the forest, Ren was nowhere to be seen. His voice didn't seem to come from any one place in particular, it's source a complete mystery. Whilst it seemed to be from every direction, at the same time it seemed to be from none. Almost as though the forest itself was the one speaking. "If you're going to be my guest, at least don't be rude."

 

In reality, Ren couldn't help but feel a small sense of excitement rise in his chest. No, was it hope? It was quite unusual for people to pass his shrine. In fact, most couldn't even see it after that person had put up the protective barrier. The fact that this individual could, meant that he was different. Perhaps even like that person. There was no doubt that he was human. Ren would have been able to sense if he was from the spiritual world. Even if that clearly wasn't the case... he did somehow have a connection to it. That in and of itself had piqued the fox gods curiosity.

 

The human also smelled of fear. At the moment it was being suppressed by annoyance and curiosity, but it was there nonetheless. That amused the playful god and he couldn't help but want to tease him. Perhaps that was why he didn't show himself to begin with. The bodiless voice was certain to freak him out.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Raphael felt his body freeze. Okay, he was definitely hallucinating. Or, well, dreaming, because in reality forests didn't talk. His eyes wide, the blond spun around, trying to find the source, but he was alone. He really was alone... Well, at least he couldn't see anyone else. He could feel someone, but he could feel something from the moment he stepped into the forest.

 

"I, uh... S-Sorry...?" He finally squeezed out an apology, fear taking over him again. "Who-... What are you?" He asked, still trying to find the source. Hell, there was nothing he could see, but his skin crawled, he could feel someone watching him, and that someone, or something, it definitely didn't feel friendly. This whole forest felt dangerous and evil, especially when he didn't have his amulet with him. He had no idea why his parents got it for him, but it became his lucky item. He never ever went out anywhere without it, the amulet was a part of his body by now.

[Gladis]

Wonderful. This is just too good to be true!

 

Ren licked his lips as he soundlessly materialized behind the human. His reaction was just as delicious as he'd hoped, if not even more so. The piercings and tattoo's made him appear so macho, yet the fox god had been able to scare him with minimal effort. It was incredibly amusing. He balanced on his toes, leaning in on the human until his lips were only inches away from Raphael's pierced ear. A slight smirk tugged the corners of his lips, flashing his sharp canines as he whispered in an exaggerated voice.

 

"Your worst nightmare," it took everything he had not to burst out laughing where he stood. His tails twitched, his ears upright in display if his good mood. It didn't occur to him that even the slightest of movement on Raphael's part would without doubt knock him over.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Raphael could feel his heart stopping for a moment when something breathed against his neck before speaking. It was the same voice as before, but finally it had a source! At the moment, though, Raphael was too freaked out to realize that. With a sharp gasp, the blond turned around, in the process knocking Ren down.

 

"Oh, fuck-... What the fuck is wrong with you?!" Raphael exclaimed, his eyes wide, heart beating so fast it felt close to flying out of his chest. He stared at the person... Creature... Whatever-that-was as a shudder ran down his body. No, this one wasn't from this world, that he was sure of. Hey, maybe this was a dream. He wasn't sure which time he thought of that, but he was just trying to fool himself by now.

[Gladis]

Raphael reacted so suddenly that Ren didn't have any time to step away. All he could see was an elbow traveling in his direction as the other male swirled around, only to feel a light pain explode in his cheek as it made impact with the fox spirit's face. He was so shocked that he lost his footing, flailing wildly in a feeble attempt to regain his balance. It was for nought. He leaf covered ground was closing in on him. Only, he never made any impact with it. Before that could happen, Ren disappeared in a flame of fox fire. Moments later he reappeared a few meters away, his cheeks pressed to reddened cheek.

 

"That hurt," he muttered accusingly, locking his fiery gaze on the young man. Slowly the sullen look washed away, the corners of Ren's lips curling into a slight smile. "My apologies, I could not withstand the temptation. You've got to allow an old man some fun. See, it's awfully quiet around here usually..." he trailed off, tilting his head just slightly to the side as he regarded him carefully.

 

"I am Ren, guardian of this forest. I take it you're lost, child of man?" he let his hand drop back to his side.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Raphael stared at the creature, his fear slowly slithering away when he realized the other didn't really mean any harm... And he was hot. "Wait- old man?" He shook his head, eyebrows raising slightly as he plopped down on the ground, keeping himself sitting with his arms behind his back. The blond narrowed his eyes as the other finally introduced himself, pursing his lips slightly as he glanced away.

 

"I'm Raphael... Yeah, I'm sort of lost." He sighed, scratching his head with his right hand. "So... Is this a dream? You don't feel real. But maybe that's got something to do with how hot you are." The blond grinned widely, eyes gaining a small, teasing glint. "Cute, but sexy." The man added with a soft chuckle as he looked up at the sky. If there was fear left, he hid it perfectly. Since this obviously couldn't be reality, it wouldn't do any harm to flirt a little bit. If he got lucky, maybe his brain would take it far enough for him to have a "taste", so to say.

[Gladis]

Ren's tails twitched and he huffed. It seemed like Thurman has offended him. Once again he disappeared in purplish blue flames, only to reappear right in front of Raphael. He placed his delicate hands on either side of Raphael's cheeks, making sure not to hurt him with his long, claw like nails. Then he grasped hold of them, pulling at them slightly as he gazed straight into Raphael's eyes. His face was only inches away from the others. "What part of me doesn't feel real, child of man?"

 

He let go of Raphael's cheeks and tilted his head slightly to the side as he started speaking in a rather unseemly manner. "It seems kids these days have forgotten all about modesty," the fox spirit mused, not showing that he was actually smitten by the comments.He loved being complimented, even if it was just by a human flirting shamelessly. "Of course you'd think I'm attractive, dummy," yet he didn't let it on. Instead he playfully poked the tip of the humans nose before straightening up, a slight smirk playing on his lips. "I'm a fox spirit. We're known for the art of seduction. It wouldn't do if we didn't look the part, nay?"

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

The other disappearing into flames was probably the most stressful thing about this whole situation. Each time that happened, Raphael would freeze up a little bit, eyes widening when he reappeared somewhere. When his cheeks were grabbed, the blond gulped down a bit nervously, staring into the other's eyes with awe. "I'd say it's the ears and tails." He answered, faking cockiness.

 

As he listened to Ren talk about his shameless flirting, the man held in a soft chuckle. "You're not going a really good job with seducing me... If it wasn't for your looks, I'd probably run." Raphael grinned, running a hand over his hair. "Anyway... You're either not from this world, I'm dreaming, or I'm high. Help me, which one is it? Am I crazy, asleep or on drugs?" The blond asked with raised eyebrows, finding no use in trying to do anything. As he sat on the cold ground, a soft sigh left his mouth, one hand brushing against his chest, missing the familiar weight of the amulet.

[Gladis]

"It's true my ears and tail are far too gorgeous to be of this world," the fox god agreed with a nod of his head, pretending that was exactly what the human had meant. Satisfied with his own reasoning, he headed over to the stone steps and waved his hand. In a puff of the same purplish blue fire he seemed to teleport with, a porcelain bottle and a small matching cup appeared. He poured some of the clear liquid in the bottle into the cup and dainty picked it up, returning his gaze to the human. A look of amusement flickered through his amber eyes as the human commented on his skills of seduction.

 

"That, my child, is because I never had any intensions of seducing you in the first place. Would you rather I tried?" he tilted his head to the side, taking a sip of his sake as he intentionally let the left side of his kimono slide down a bit, revealing the milky skin of his shoulder, the crook of his neck and a small portion of his chest. He was just teasing the human, of course. "I think there's something else keeping you here. For one, you did admit that you are lost. If you desire, I could show you the way out of my forest. Furthermore, it has occurred to me that you are grieving the loss of something important to you. Am I wrong, child of man?" his knowing eyes bore into the young man, red tails flicking in anticipation for the humans answer.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Raphael observed cautiously as the fox spirit... God... Whatever he was, he still didn't understand - as he made a bottle of alcohol and a cup appear out of thin air. What part of this was real? The blond frowned as Ren spoke, pursing his lips slightly. "Can you not call me a child? I have a name, just use that..." The man sighed out, looking away for a moment. Once he glanced back, however, and saw the other's revealed skin, he had to swallow down something he would've regretted saying.

 

"It'd be fun to see." He finally said, a small smile spreading across his face before suddenly dying out. As their gazes met, with the question staying in the air, making everything feel heavy, Raphael unconsciously reached up to his chest, as if hoping to find the amulet there. "I... Yeah, I lost something. It's this golden amulet, I have no idea where it is now, but... It feels weird to be without it. This forest feels weird." The man muttered, his usual carefree-self pushed to the side somewhere.

[Gladis]

Ren sipped his sake in peace, chuckling softly as the human asked him not to call him a child. It was a funny notion to Ren. Even if the human in the eyes of another human was an adult, in the eyes of the fox spirit he was by all means a child. A young one at that - who had many years of gathering life experiences left. "You haven't even told me your name, human. I may have magical proprieties, but I'm not a mind reader." He set down the porcelain cup on the stone steps, gently combing his slender fingers through his longish red hair as he kept watching the human intently. "You can't expect me to address you a certain way, when I don't even know what you would like to be addressed as."

 

A soft laugh of amusement escaped the fox spirit's lips at the humans snide reply. "I'm sure you would think so. You do seem like the type who would," he smiled, tilting his head to the side. Ren had to admit it: Raphael WAS attractive.

 

A heavy silence filled the air, something which in itself proved the fox spirit right. Eventually Raphael admitted the loss of his amulet, causing Ren to sober as he thoughtfully tapped his chin.

 

"I have a proposition for you, if you would care to listen. I will search my forest for this amulet of yours; if you dropped it here I am most certain to find it. In return, you will become my servant for the duration of your time here in Eastmoor. Does that sound fair?"

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

"Asshole, I did tell you. Clearly, you were way too busy trying to give me a heart attack to listen." Raphael scoffed, looking away. "It's Raphael, my name is Raphael. You think you got that, or are you so old you can't remember what you're told fifteen seconds after?" The blond groaned, closing his eyes as he frowned.

 

He opened his eyes once Ren spoke about the whole flirting thing. "So, that means you won't, huh? Scared it won't work on me?" The human mocked slightly, raising his eyebrows as he stared at the other. "I bet you're all talk, having ears and tails doesn't magically make you a good flirter. Not with that personality, at least." Raphael grinned, trying to get the other to show off at last.

 

The proposition, however, seemed crazy. "What? Are you mad? What would you even do with me? As soon as I get my amulet back, I'm not stepping back into this crazy-ass forest." It feels evil. The last part he decided to leave out. He didn't want to give Ren anything else to tease him about... There was enough shit already, and he hated being laughed at.

[Gladis]

A bright flush spread across Ren's usually pale cheeks, his heart pounding hard in his chest. Raphael HAD told him his name, that was true. He'd just not payed attention and now he'd messed up. That was a serious blow to the fox spirits pride. He turned his back on the human in an attempt to hide his embarrassment, pretending to be annoyed. Well, it wasn't all pretense. Ren kind of was upset. Especially with Raphael's mocking attempt to coerce him into something he didn't really want to do. How desperate was he for the human to stay? For the human to come back and keeping him company, even if it may just be for a little while?

 

The humans reaction was one he'd expected, yet it still only upset him more. Really, the only thing being Ren's servant would mean at this point would be for Raphael to be bound by contract to return for a while every day. It may entail helping Ren put his home back in order, but other than that the fox spirit really wouldn't have been too fussy about servitude.

 

Dislike for his forest almost seemed to ooze out of the human, only stabbing Ren further. "Well then, good luck with finding your amulet... and also your way out of my forest," his voice had dropped quite a few octaves, and though he'd intended to sound angry he sounded more sad than anything. In all honesty, Ren looked rather pitiful and even weak, at the moment.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

The way Ren spoke was, in a way, upsetting. Did he go out of line?... Probably. A quiet sigh slipped past the blond's lips, eyelids slowly moving down, hiding his golden orbs. He managed to stand up, swiping his hands over his thighs to clean off the dirt. As he took a few steps towards the other, he bit down on his lower lip before reaching out to place a hand on the spirit's shoulder.

 

"Listen, I... I'm sorry, I just feel really weird here. It's like something's watching me, I don't know... I feel really weird without my amulet, like some part of me is missing." There he took in a deep breath and pulled his hand away, pushing it into his pocket instead. "So... Err... Exactly what it would mean to be your... Servant?" He asked hesitantly, feeling honestly bad about hurting Ren's feelings. The spirit seemed lonely, and lonely people, or creatures, they were not something Raphael could ignore.

[Gladis]

Ren glanced up at the human, watching at him cautiously as he placed a hand on his shoulder. Some humans were dangerous. Some humans would harm spirits. Those were the thoughts which raced through Ren's mind, yet he made no move whatsoever to tell him off or get away from him. How long had it been since a human had touched him last? He didn't know, but the feeling sent his heart fluttering. Even if it was the touch of an utterly irritating and rude human. Even if it was the human who'd hurt insulted him so greatly...

 

"Hmph!" Ren quickly looked away from him again, trying to hide the blush rushing into his cheeks. "I don't need the pity of a human," he said, his tails twitching. Then again... "Although if you're insisting I tell you, I suppose I could," he turned back around, tilting his head to the side, "I would expect you to come here at least once every day. As my servant, you would help me return this rundown shrine to it's former glory... and I suppose you would also run my errands, though really since I don't have any it doesn't seem like that would be happening a lot. Ah, and of course you'd have to being me fresh apples every day!" he nodded his head eagerly, smiling at the thought of apples. "A-as an offering to the forest God, you know..." Ren added. A slight frown creased his forehead.

 

"In return I'd find your amulet for you..." his face was only inches away from Raphael's at that point, mischief sparkling in his eyes. "And if you do well I'll reward you."

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Raphael pulled his hand away once Ren turned around, raising his eyebrows as he began listening. The idea of coming into this forest every day was terrifying, but... Maybe he could manage? Somehow? A quiet sigh slipped past his thin lips which were soon pursed together into a faint frown. "Can you give me an example of an errand?" The blond asked as he raised one eyebrow, lifting one hand to rub the back of his neck. Not like he had anything better to do anyway.

 

The man opened his mouth to comment on the apples, but held himself back and barely forced down a chuckle. Seriously, the spirit was showing his cute side... As his face got closer, the blond parted his lips, finding himself lost in the depth of Ren's eyes. "I, uh..." He muttered, blinking once as a small shudder ran down his spine. "Yeah, sure..." Raphael found himself saying, unconsciously licking his lips as he moved a tad closer. The other seemed to be pulling him closer, as if he was a magnet.

[Gladis]

"Hmmm..." Ren frowned, tapping his chin thoughtfully as he tried to decide what might be a good example of an errand. It was hard to think of, as Ren hadn't had any errands in a long time. Well, at least not any significant ones, he supposed. Well, there was this problem of the humans cutting down the edges of the forest as they expanded the village, but that didn't really entail a lot of errands. Quite frankly, Ren was at loss what to do about it. He shook his head and pouted. "No, because I haven't had any for several hundred years."

 

Ren's lips curled into a slight smile as the human finally agreed, his heart pounding as he placed his hand on the humans cheek. Oh how he'd missed physical contact. He tenderly ran his thumb across Raphael's lower lip. Then he leaned in and kissed him. Even if it would most likely have seemed like something else to the human, in actuality it was a means to seal their contract. A single kiss and suddenly Raphael's life was in the hands of a fox spirit.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Raphael frowned slightly when Ren admitted to not being able to think of an example of an errand. Maybe he wouldn't get any, or maybe he'd get ridiculous ones, just so the fox spirit could mess with him. The blond wasn't sure how he felt about this whole situation either, but the other's eyes were so captivating... He really couldn't pull away.

 

The blond took in a shuddering breath when Ren placed both hands on his cheeks, their gazes still fixed together. Feeling his thumb swiping across his bottom lip sent small shocks of electricity down his spine, although they couldn't even be compared to the feeling that ran throughout his whole body when he was kissed. It merely took him a moment or two to respond as he moved one hand on the spirit's shoulder, then up to his neck and into his hair. God, his lips were so soft... They even tasted good.

[Gladis]

Ren could sense that Raphael wasn't happy about his answer, but really it was the best he could give. Luckily enough the kiss seemed to distract him and hopefully he wouldn't freak out once he noticed the ring which ought to have appeared on right ring finger. It was a golden one, with pretty purplish blue gems and a fox face in the center. As long as the contract was in place, Raphael would be unable to take it off. As soon as it ended, however... the ring would most likely disappear just as it had appeared.

 

It wasn't just Raphael who seemed to be enjoying the moment. Despite just intending to seal the contract, he allowed the kiss continue for longer than needed. Eventually however, he pulled away, even if just a few inches.

 

"Well, will you look at that... someone's enjoying themselves, hmm?" he teased, his lips curling into a smile. His kimono which he'd loosened around his shoulders earlier was beginning to slide down further, yet Ren didn't seem to notice. He was too focused on the human, his heart pounding hard as part of him wished for Raphael to never let go. It was as though he was afraid that if he the human did, he'd go up in smoke and just disappear.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Raphael could swear he was just drowning in the sensation. He felt like he was on a cloud, drifting further and further away from reality. The blond gently combed his hand through the other's hair, enjoying the silky feeling as well. And yet, the kiss was far too short to be enough. As Ren pulled away with the teasing question, the human opened his eyes slightly, his lips staying parted. "Why wouldn't I be?" He asked with a small smirk tugging at the corners of his lips as he lifted his other hand up, slowly trailing a finger down from the spirit's shoulder towards his abdomen.

 

Raphael let out a soft breath as he moved closer again, this time gently pressing his lips against the other's neck, slowly sliding up to his jawline. "No idea why you did that, but like hell I'm refusing it." He chuckled, looking up into the spirit's eyes, finding himself lost in the depths again. "If this is your seducing... I swear, it's working." The blond muttered out before leaning closer for another kiss. Ren's lips were so soft, he just needed to feel them some more. He'd never had a kiss like that - then again, he'd never kissed anyone not from this world. Until now, that is.

[Gladis]

Ren laughed softly, shutting his eyes as he allowed the human kiss his neck. He enjoyed the sensation of Raphael's fingers combing through his hair and his finger sliding down towards his abdomen. Heat was gathering in his stomach, radiating throughout the entierty of his body. When he was being touched like this, it triggered emotions he hadn't felt for a very long time. Ren finally felt alive. He would allow this to escalate further, if it meant that it would keep that flame he'd long since thought to have lost alive. "Really now? All I did was kiss you..." he mused, though he knew very well what a kiss of his kind could do to a human. Especially humans who already had a high sex drive.

 

The fox spirit returned the kiss quite fiercely, one of his hands dropping to his side whilst the other slid down to Raphael's shoulder, holding on to it tightly.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Raphael let out a soft groan into the kiss, letting himself drown in it again. He parted his lips slightly, gently biting down on Ren's lip as he pushed him slightly, pressing their bodies together. The blond felt warm all over, this was clearly affecting him, and quite a lot at that. He traced his fingers over the other's bare skin, adoring the feeling. Although this whole situation was a mess, the man was set on getting the best out of it. He had no idea what he was getting himself into, but so far it really didn't seem so bad...

 

With their lips still locked together, Raphael slid the hand from the other's waist to his shoulder, slowly moving down his arm to push the kimono off. He wanted to feel him, he wanted to touch his skin, damn, he wanted to feel everything... The blond let out a quiet groan once more as he pulled away from the kiss, lust shining in his eyes as he parted his lips, letting out a soft breath. He didn't find words that would be alright to say in such a situation...
