Epimethius followed Genesis silently, his paws landing softly against the ground as they left the challenge. A subtle feeling of losing something settled into his chest, he had remained quiet. Unspeaking, he had not been spoken to so perhaps Genesis did not want to hear his voice either. He followed the man, sticking close by. Even being slightly hurt his body spoke of strength, and protection, as he stayed behind Genesis. His ears perked forward and rotated on his head, picking up every rustle and noise that carried to him. One thing that was clear when he was around Genesis was that he would stand between him and any threat that came their way. Such was the way when he... er.. cared for someone. His thoughts paused as the black and white brute slowed.

His head raised to look him in the eye. Epimethius looked around briskly as he realized that they were at the willows, and a tilt of his head was offered to Genesis before the male gestured for him to lay alongside him. He took the invitation, moving to the man's side and offering a soft affectionate nibble on his cheek. If he had wished for intimacy all he needed was to say it. And then Epimethius froze as Genesis began to speak. An apology hung in the air, and he sat his head on his paws as he watched the male intently. Unsure of what to say or if he should speak yet.

And then Genesis continued his speech, and Epimethius could feel his tail begin to slowly wag as the brute continued. He knew very well what Zephyros and Enyo saw him as, and that didn't bother him. He offered a nod as he spoke of it, he understood. And then Genesis spoke of how he saw his worth and Epi moved his head just slightly off his paws, something lingered in his eyes. Perhaps hope? As Genesis paused he moved to nuzzle along his neck and under his jaw, a reassuring action that his words weren't falling on deaf ears and a way to try to coax more of his sweet words from Genesis's mouth.

Genesis continued by adding that his family was strict and picky, which he knew was code for kinda racist, but you know can't bad mouth family too much. He spoke of Epimethius proving himself, showing them his worth. And he nodded his head again, that was what he had wanted to do anyway. He let Genesis continue, ears perked as he explained that he didn't want him to take his words to heart. That he had not meant what he said and that he enjoyed his company. And just like that Epimethius was staring up at Genesis with his signature grin, pushing his shoulder against him gently.

"I want to prove my worth to them, just as I want to prove my worth to you. Gene, I don't mind them seeing me how they do, it doesn't bother me how the rest of your family sees me. Even Enyo," he paused, a flicker of emotion clouding his gaze. For a moment he wasn't going to continue before he said fuck it, "But Genesis the thought of you seeing me like that, of you seeing me as nothing more than a thing to warm your bed. That bothers me, it hurts. And I'm not quite sure why. But I know I enjoy being around you, talking to you," a pause as he leaned forward to brush a soft kiss against the brute's cheek. "Touching you," another pause as he moved back to look him over playfully. "And of course sparring with you." He was not ending that sentence by saying he enjoyed fucking him, that was crude. (Even if it was kind of true)

"I won't take your words to heart anymore when it's around your family at least. As long as you promise to whisper sweet nothings like today to me in private. When no one but the sky can hear us, and I have you all to myself." He moved to push the man onto his side, aiming to pull him close to cuddle him with their faces still directed toward one another. "I will be whatever you need from me Gene, you can shape me however you please and I will do my best to abide by whatever you want. But there is a part of me that wants you to want me for me." An admission he wasn't sure why he needed to have it said, most viewed him as useful for a thing or two and that is all he was to them. Usually, it brought the man no strife, but he needed just one person to look at him and see him. And he really wanted Genesis to be the one that saw him.

He moved to cradle the man, wrapping his forearms around him. Trying to pull him closer into his fur. He wanted to be near Genesis, in more ways the one. And he wouldn't lie a part of him was worried, maybe even scared. He had never grown so close to someone, most people he had the pleasure of staying with were brisk flings in the dead of night. A moment of weakness after a battle, or in the middle of winter when there were few ways to stay warm. He didn't have much experience. Life had been hardy for Epimethius, and he had never let himself grow accustomed to finding the softness inside of someone and let himself begin to crave that. Everything had always been a transaction to him before this. But with Genesis, he just couldn't find himself letting that happen, he didn't want that to happen. He wanted more, and maybe he was greedy, maybe it was wrong for him to want the male's attention for himself. But he did not care at all. If hiding in the dark, stealing secret kisses underneath willow trees was the only way for him to have Genesis then he would build a den here. Soundproof the walls, steal every secret kiss, and remember and savor them for the rest of his life as long as he could have them.
