You came back to me

Lia offered the food and he’d accepted with the best smile he could muster, but she was quick to leave and Mortis would again have all of his attention. Silver kohl lined eyes looked up towards the winged once-heir as he lowered himself before him. Hikaru already laid back down, he was tired and the walk here was enough to wind him. He’d eat while Mort managed the bath, but first… Mort tilted his chin and gave him another kiss, still new but full of the emotions that lingered inside behind that sweet affection.

Their kisses were never quite long enough Mortis pulled away, Hika smiled dreamily as he watched him go for a moment longer prior to finally eating. He hadn’t had a real meal in too long, and Lia, ever considerate of that, hadn’t brought him anything intense. Mostly the soup he’d been eating, but he could tell it was a little heartier to get his strength up. He took his time in savoring his meal, eating slow so his stomach didn’t get overwhelmed. He was finishing when Mortis returned to him.

Down and up again Mort had an idea, and took another opportunity to tease him. Hika shook his head in amusement as he grinned back up at the other boy, "At least half.” He returned with an amused smirk, but closed his eyes blissfully as Mortis ran his claws through his fur. He really needed this bath.
