You Give Me Fever [Eliphas]

When Eli's eyes met his Aureus just wanted to wrap his arms around the smaller man and pull him into a deep embrace but he held himself back. He didn't want to push to fast to far and to be perfectly honest he wasn't sure he could move even if he wanted to. Every fiber of his being was alert and anticipating Eliphas' answer. He felt like he was standing on a razor's edge, waiting to know his fate. He felt so vulnerable in that moment letting Eliphas hold his fate in his paws like this. Aureus tried to tell himself it wouldn't be a big deal if Eliphas said no. He'd carry on… some how…

"I… I think I’d like that."

In that moment the world started turning again. Aureus exhaled, noticeably relaxing as a wide grin spread across his face. He couldn't even bring himself to speak, he was so utterly elated that the words simply didn't exist to describe his joy. Eliphas moved closer, his shoulder and head leaning into Aureus. His body tingled with delight and he gently leaned into Eliphas, but not so hard that he might topple the other. He shifted his balance slightly and moved to try and reach his arm around Eliphas and pull the other into a half embrace.

"I agree, I like this." He reached out to lick Eliphas' cheek.
