i'll take care of you

The hesitancy thrummed through the mans entire body like electricity and Chimera held him a little tighter, letting him know that he could answer the question freely. The giant brutes ears strained eagerly, awaiting an answer. The pale wolf took a deep breath as though sorting his thoughts, then he softly began an explanation. One that Chimera listened to with great interest and great need.

The initial words weren't at all what Chimera wanted to hear. They were still the words of a servant; a slave. However, Erystotle continued. These words... they were closer to what Chimera had needed the man to say. He had given Erys time and space to sort out his own emotions. He'd given him time to come to terms with his newfound freedom. He'd let him be a free wolf again and develop his sense of self. All of this he'd done without pushing, without pressure, in the hopes that Erys would come to him of his own free will.

Finally, Erys lifted his gaze to meet that of the hulking brute. The only thing that Erys was missing... was Chimera's affection. One black-toed paw shifted upwards, sliding up the smaller man's back so that it rested gently on the back of his head. The king's gaze continued to bore into that of the pearlescent wolf and he spoke in a low, husky voice, "Then you shall have it."

Chimera lowered his lips, finding those of the man beside him as he pulled him into a deep kiss. His tongue danced over Erys', absorbing the flavor of the horned wolf. He didn't let the kiss linger for long before he pulled back, though not very far at all. He could still feel the panting breaths of the smaller wolf against his lips. "I want you to come to me because you want it, not because you're a slave. Not because you think that it's what I want." His tongue slid over the brutes lower lip. "Tell me what you want, Erystotle."
