dangerous and sweet like a jawbreaker

Erys needed to learn how to really take care of himself. His well being was never a priority, but being with Chimera was changing that. He needed more sleep, he needed to fully recover. As the King said. He was fit and healthy, something Erys was familiar with and the blush on his features revealed that fact. "You’re right, my King.” He could keep up with Chimera one day, but for now he still needed to finish getting healthy. Not that he was sure he’d ever really been healthy to the degree Chi took care of his wolves.

Dark paws went to pick up the first morsels and to Erys’ surprise he lifted the bite to his own lips, with a soft word that left little room to argue. Not that the pearlescent man was about to object, he was surprised though. Silvery white eyes lifted to Chimera’s features as he timidly nibbled the morsel offered to him. That wasn’t the only bite either, as he swallowed shortly after Chimera presented another, and this one was taken just as delicately.

Chimera spoke softly to him as he was being fed, he mentioned Erys’ needing more sleep. It did sound like a command, but it was one that came from Chimera’s worrying over him. Erys hadn’t ever been worried over before. Chimera was a lot of firsts for him, and sometimes it was hard to even believe he was here after so many years of abuse. He put him at ease, however free he was the command from his King was guidance he craved. He needed structure, he needed to be told to eat more and sleep more.

For a moment Erys didn’t catch Chimera’s suggestion. Confusion crossed his features as he swallowed another morsel. He’d been told to take a break, and the connection from hard work to strenuous was too strong. But Chimera meant something far different from Erys’ first thought. A bashful grin overtook his features as he realized, and he leaned in a little closer. "Do you think so?” His vibrant galaxy tail wagged lightly at his hips, brushed against Chimera’s as he did. "How does someone so fit and healthy,” he chuckled as he used Chimera’s words. "Prepare for sleep?”
