I will not make this look pretty later, don't believe me it's all a lie

====

INVENTORY:

-The Punisher: Wolfwood's cross gun, normally covered in wrappings.
INFO from the mods on use so I don't forget: The cross-gun will be able to fire regular bullets (regains of these can be handwaved; silvered bullets can be purchased in the bonus AC store) just fine, without any special nerfs. The laser feature will be usable a max of 3 times a month.

-4 Vials of his Drugs(tm)
Info from the mods on use so I don't forget: Wolfwood can start with up to 5 vials of his Lab Drugs. More of these can be regained for the price of a Small Item (a maximum of 5 at once), but they will not work on other player characters for obvious reasons. Their healing ability will also be slightly nerfed to not heal anything instantaneously, but rather over a few minutes.
3/7: All Vials have been used. Will need to purchase replacements if he wants to use them again.

[livlaughlove]

Oh? Reckon I could kiss you all night, if that's what y'want.

[wolfwood you CANNOT be subtle, your boyfriend has ZERO social experience and you know it.]

[lupusxylem]

[HE DOES KNOW THIS AND LOVES THIS ABOUT HIM

But alright. He's used to dealing with dumb blondes. He can handle this.

Wolfwood snorts, rolling his eyes playfully before he silences Livio with another kiss, one that lingers for longer than a couple seconds this time. His arms loop their way lazily around Livio's neck, draped over his shoulders as he breaks their kiss a moment later so he can kiss the corner of his mouth, his jawline, back down to his neck...

And this time, Wolfwood stays there. He makes himself quite comfortable, actually, fingers pulling through the hair at the nape of his neck as he kisses at Livio's pulse, searching for the point where his heart beats the strongest before unceremoniously, just.

Sucking a hickey, there.]

[livlaughlove]

[bless wolfwood, honestly. liv is plenty happy to keep kissing on him, just as he said. his hands continue to rub at nick's back, and he even hums happily in his throat.

the hum turns to muffled chuckles as he's kissed down the throat, before his breath catches sharply, that pulse quickens, and his fingers flex against wolfwood.]

Ah -- Nicholas...

[lupusxylem]

[Yeah, maybe this way he'll start getting more of a hint...not that this is all he plans on doing.

He pauses for just a moment, just long enough to make sure he isn't doing too much- doubtful, considering- before he takes the bruising kiss one step further, lathing his tongue over the skin to soothe the inevitable burn of it immediately after. At the same time, the bridge of his nose traces the hollow of Livio's throat, as if searching for a new place to mark.

This time though, it's not with his lips, but with the sharp edge of his teeth, incisors drawing a line from his adam's apple to his collarbone.]

[livlaughlove]

[wolfwood sure knows how to make a guy squirm!

even after the injuries he's received in the grove, he still expects the bruise to heal itself instantly. when it doesn't, and nick drags his teeth across livio's skin, he can't help but wonder at the sensation. it aches, but not at all in an unpleasant sort of way.

he inhales, deep, though his exhale is shaky as he tries to force himself to relax, to let wolfwood do what he wants. and of course, to focus on returning the affection somehow. liv wants nick to feel loved, as well. his hands wander a little farther down nick's back before they reach the hem of his shirt and slip their way up and under it. one hand simply presses flat against the muscle of his back, and the other fingers ghost up wolfwood's spine.]

[lupusxylem]

[He can't blame Livio for thinking that way. It took his first real close-call to realize that he couldn't simply down a vial and be okay, here. And, well. He's now seen first hand just what happens if he tries to get too brave and skirts the line of death a little too closely. You just...die.

That isn't going to happen here, though. He's safe. They both are, for the first time in such a long time.

Wolfwood's lips part, ready to find another place on Livio to bite, when he feels him suddenly reach a hand under the back of his shirt. It causes him to pause briefly and exhale on a heady sound, deep in his chest and the back of his throat, his torso relaxing into a puddle atop Livio's chest. He won't have to reach all that far to find new scars, long puncture wounds that didn't heal all that well after Elsword's attack on him. The bite from the rose hound is further up, a seal across his right shoulder.

He breathes out hot against the side of Livio's neck, kissing him again.]

Mmh. Feels good...you're so good. Yaknow that?

[His words are slurred, mumbled as he too tries to find a little more purchase underneath the collar of Livio's shirt. The fact he's clothed is starting to become Problematic.]

[livlaughlove]

[livio feels the start of a scar, but... unless nick has been hanging around shirtless, he doesn't really have a way to know how fresh it is. it still hurts his heart nonetheless. the fact that wolfwood has accumulated scars where livio's body has knit itself up again perfectly... it hurts.

but for now, nick distracts him from the painful thoughts. he's a little confused and still a lot flustered, and he can't help but laugh quietly.]

Good? Ain't really doin' anything... [he squirms a little under wolfwood's frustrated touch.] What're you up to in there?

[lupusxylem]

[What is he up to indeed...

Wolfwood huffs, shifting to sit back just a little against Livio's chest. Nowhere near enough to be getting up, just like...enough so he can look him in the eye.]

...can I take your shirt off?

[He asks, blunt as anything.]

[livlaughlove]

[even if it makes him tinge all over again, livio appreciates the directness.]

Yeah.

[there's a moment where he's quiet and avoids nick's gaze before he tries his luck.]

Uh -- can I get yours...?

[lupusxylem]

[That gets Wolfwood's shoulders to relax visibly as he laughs.]

Your hand is already up under my shirt. Shouldn't be too hard for you to get it off from there, yeah?

[livlaughlove]

Well, sure, but... askin's polite, right?

[he purses his lips in thought before removing his hands and lifting himself up off the bed slightly. his body presses a little closer to nick's, but he still leaves enough room for wolfwood to pull his shirt off.]

You asked first, though.

[lupusxylem]

Heh. Guess I did, didn't I...

[Well don't mind if he does, thank you-

Livio's new position makes it easier for Wolfwood to sit back and properly straddle his hips, careful not to put too much weight on his bad leg while he focuses on reaching for the bottom edge of his shirt so he can tug it up and over his head.]

Ain't seen you like this since you got here. You were standin' out in the middle of the snow bout' to freeze your damn nipples off.

[livlaughlove]

[there's something about this that's so much more embarrassing than all of that was. though that makes sense, when livio thinks about it... he's allowed himself to feel a great many more things since then. this is also on his bed, and nick is in his lap. liv has to focus on taking a deep breath or two just to chase away the feeling of lightheadedness.

once the shirt is pulled free and he can lower his arms, his shoulders hunch almost as if in an effort to hide his body despite how adamant he had been that this was alright in the dead of winter.

like nick, he has new scars. two jagged lines of hundreds of pricks from one side of his waist to the opposite side of his chest -- and their twins on his back. a massive jaw that had clamped down on him while the creature and wolfwood did battle.]

... I sure acted a fool, huh?

[lupusxylem]

You did. But I like that about you.

[Livio is a silly little guy at his core, and Wolfwood wouldn't change that about him for the world. Nor would he change this sight he's being blessed with currently, one that causes him to whistle low in approval.]

Look at you. Somebody chisel you from marble while I wasn't lookin'?

[He muses as he brings his hands down to let them rest along Livio's sides, teasingly feeling him up from his torso down to his hips.]

[livlaughlove]

Hey, c'mon...

[liv is just doomed to be flushed forever, now, huh? he shivers under wolfwood's touch but also allows himself to relax just a little. as much as he's come to have less than pleasant feelings about his genetically altered body... nick, of all people, wouldn't judge him.

and to make good on his own threat, his hands find the topmost button on nicholas' shirt that's actually... buttoned... and he works his way down, slow and steady. he has permission, yes, but he's still nervous, and wants to take the proper time to really drink nick in. he hesitates to actually push the shirt off of wolfwood once it's open.]

Y'sure it's okay...?

[lupusxylem]

Course I am. Don't be shy, yeah?

[He'll even draw his hands back, just briefly, and lay them gently along the backs of Livio's, as if to encourage him to go all the way.]

Ain't like my shirt is really on most of the time anyway. You're just helping along the inevitable, really.

[Is he implying he would just walk around shirtless if it wasn't too cold for it, perhaps-]

[livlaughlove]

How could I not be?

[wolfwood ain't wrong! it's just... a lot, that liv gets to be somebody who's allowed to see more than the chest he flaunts to everyone else. he inhales deeply and summons the bravery to push the shirt off by the sleeves, slowly, so his hands can feel along the length of nick's arms. yet, he still averts his eyes slightly. being polite, or shy? maybe both.]

[lupusxylem]

Big strong guy like you? I dunno, you tell me.

[Sorry Livio, he knows you're nervous, but...he can't help but tease. It's how he is, but also how he's coping with his...everything, currently. He knows they're both scarred all to hell and back, so that isn't an issue. But Wolfwood is different, now, and it doesn't just end at his scars.

So when Livio looks away once he's gotten his shirt off, he'll reach a hand up to nudge it underneath his chin, coaxing him gently to look back.]

I love you, yaknow.

[livlaughlove]

I love you, too.

[wolfwood is just as aware as livio that he's far more shy than his stature would suggest, so he doesn't need to explain. instead, he allows nick to direct him to actually look at him, and when livio does, his lips part just so as he takes him in.

the only indication he has of any newer scars are how healed they do or don't look. but regardless of how fresh any of them are, each one he sees makes livio deeply sorrowful. this is... probably supposed to be a happy moment, but unfortunately, this is how his brain works. he gets wrapped up.

for now, his sheepishness is replaced with concern, and he doesn't flush even a little as he ghosts the tips of his fingers near, not directly on, one of the recent scars.]

... I wish I could take it from you. [his voice is soft as a whisper.] All of it.

[lupusxylem]

[Perhaps it's a good thing it's replaced his prior sheepishness, even if it's not necessarily a good emotion. Time spent with Vash has taught Wolfwood how best to deal with this sort of thing, for better or worse...even if he still isn't great with feelings.

His expression softening, Wolfwood moves his hand from Livio's chin to rest it along his cheek, thumb brushing over his cheekbone as he cups his face.]

I know. I feel the same way about you. It...wasn't supposed t'be you.

[But...it seems that their memory of events differs somewhat. That much they already know, so it isn't a point he'll dwell on.]

Guess we both grew up tough, when we should've had the chance to live different. ...but think of it this way. If we hadn't? Maybe we wouldn't be here now. Together.

[livlaughlove]

[maybe they wouldn't. livio wonders if that's such a bad thing. he would live a thousand miserable lives, die a thousand horrible deaths, if it meant nick would be safe and happy, far from the false god and far from the eye of michael. he doesn't dare say so out loud, though he can't say whether it's to spare wolfwood's feelings or because he's just too selfish to actually speak the words.

regardless, something tells him nicholas feels the same way about him. he leans into nick's touch and allows his own hand to trace the contours of his muscle.]

If we have to be here, I'm glad we're together. [he echoes the sentiment, then sighs, deep and dreamy.] You really are beautiful.

[lupusxylem]

[He's glad that's something Livio knows without words. It makes what he wants to do all the easier, especially when he says that.

Wolfwood smiles, that usual lopsided grin, and leans forward again to press their lips together for a long moment, simply enjoying the feeling of Livio's against his own. It isn't until he parts from him again that he speaks, low between them.]

There's more to me than just my good looks.

Can I show you?

[livlaughlove]

[livio would be more than content just kissing wolfwood like this all night, holding one another and feeling warm and alive. but nick has a way of taking what livio wants and blowing his expectations out of the water.]

Yes. Of course. Please. [maybe he comes off a little desperate, but... wolfwood deserves to feel desired. liv will do all he can to make sure nico knows how much he loves him.]

[lupusxylem]

Good boy.

[The words rumble in his chest as he leans back in, this time pressing his lips to Livio's forehead.]

Now. Let's see what you got for me to work with, yeah?

[Because there is plenty he hasn't yet explored, and he's feeling hungry for more of it.

Still having to move slowly due to his still-healing injury, Wolfwood very carefully shifts back a little so he's got a bit more room to move. Still straddling Livio's hips, mind, just enough so that he can lay his hands on him again without them being trapped against his chest.

All the easier for him to actually feel that chest proper, both hands gently squeezing his pecs as he kisses a line from his throat down to his collarbone.]

There we go...that's more like it.

[livlaughlove]

[well. the "good boy" brings a flush to livio so strong that even the skin along his throat that wolfwood kisses is hot to the touch. so that turn-on was just unlocked.

his own hand finds purchase around nick's waist, helping to hold him upright while he manhandles liv's chest. it coaxes a quiet whine out of him, muffled as he buries his face in nick's hair.]

Nico. Feel so good... Where d'you want me to touch you?
