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.
???: Forgot to put the date here but he's purchased more Vials, one has been used to he has 4 currently.

[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?

[lupusxylem]

[Duly noted! Wolfwood's paying attention, so he just files that information away for later use. In the meantime, he was going to guide Livio's hands onto his hips if he didn't do it himself, but, well...seems like he didn't need any convincing there.

Livio will feel the vibration of Wolfwood's voice against his skin as he chuckles once more, still kissing his way down to his chest proper.]

Yeah? Well you're gonna feel real good in a sec here...don't worry about me for now.

[Less that he doesn't want Livio touching him (because oh, does he want that), and more that he's not sure Livio's going to be able to focus for a second here.

Namely, because those kisses lead Wolfwood all the way down to single out a nipple, his lips marching a track there until he's able to press them to the sensitive skin, his tongue lathing over and around it while the fingers of his other hand get busy gently pinching and rubbing the other between his thumb and forefinger.]

[livlaughlove]

["don't worry about me." like livio could ever put nick out of his mind, especially as wrapped up in one another as they are.

sure, for at least a moment, he's shocked enough that it shorts out his brain. and when he comes back to after a second, he shakily exhales the sharp breath he doesn't recall taking. it's just his chest, but it still feels so dirty and so nice.

just like he promised silently, though, he wraps his other arm around nicholas's back and draws his nails down his spine. not hard enough to break skin, of course, but good grief, he's trying not to neglect wolfwood.]

[lupusxylem]

[That's what they all say, until they feel it for the first time and are like "what the fuck is happening". It's why Wolfwood decided not to tell him what he was doing before just going for it. He figured either Livio would thank him, or he'd pull him off and then he'd be like okay noted, we don't like having our chest touched.

Either way, the contact is much appreciated. The bite of Livio's nails is enough to leave him moaning against his skin, so if he was wondering how he felt about a little pain...]

Mmmh. Fuck, Liv-

[He shifts a little to sit a bit more comfortably against him but, well. That's only going to work for so long, considering. He presses a few kisses to his chest to give him a break from the onslaught before he goes right back to it, this time sucking instead of just kissing and nipping.]

[livlaughlove]

[nicholas and his goddamn need to have something in his mouth at all times... lord help livio. he doesn't recall ever being so flushed for so long. he feels like his whole upper body is going to melt off.]

Nick. [he returns, clipped and breathy. he wouldn't dare make wolfwood bleed, especially not after last month, but if nick likes a little clawing, he can comply. and his other hand can give nick's hair a good tugging.]

[lupusxylem]

[ :) :) :)

Listen can you blame this man he has an oral fixation leave him alone-

Satisfying an oral fixation isn't all he plans on doing, of course. Not when Livio takes it upon himself to dig his fingers in and really pull on his hair.

If Livio has ever wanted to hear Wolfwood moan, it's happening right now. As in, really moan. The kind you keep behind closed doors, the kind that Livio is going to feel deep in his bones long after they've parted.

The kind that follow the way Wolfwood suddenly sinks deeper down against Livio, rocking his hips down against the other's, insistent. If there were any question as to what he wants to do now, speak now or forever hold your peace-]

[livlaughlove]

[he sure does.

if the stimulation to his tits isn't enough to make livio gasp, the sound that wolfwood makes certainly is. the added vibrations help, of course, but really... the mere thought that this is nick, all over him, moaning and now grinding into his hips... it gets to livio. and even if he doesn't have the equipment, as it were, to directly derive pleasure from this, wolfwood can, so he'll happily comply.

his hands grasp firmly at nick's waist as he reclines backward, taking nick with him so he can get the best angle to meet his hips in return at the pace wolfwood has set. of course, livio is still mindful in all of this not to put pressure on his leg.]
