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.

[Hon. It's such a simple term of endearment, yet it fills him with warmth regardless. Sure is a lot nicer than a lot of other feelings he's been feeling the last couple weeks.

He nods, making his way slowly over. It's a limping hobble, all of his weight supported on both the crutches and his remaining leg.]

Yea, I'm comin'.

[He sinks into a sit on the large mattress next to Livio, reaching around to set the crutches aside nearby, halfway leaning against the bed so he can grab them if he needs to. It's good to be able to get up and try to walk even somewhat, but it's a lot of work. It's nice to sit back down for a minute.]

It's nice, yaknow. Seein' you here all the time.

[livlaughlove]

[once nick is situated, liv pivots toward him a bit so that he can slip an arm around his waist to hold and support him. and he plants a kiss in wolfwood's hair for good measure.]

Yeah? It's nice to be here... [he still feels slightly out of place, but honestly? he can actually imagine that it may get easier with time.] Thank you, Nico.

[lupusxylem]

Don’t thank me. It was Needle-noggin’s idea.

[Wolfwood doesn’t hesitate to close the gap between them the moment Livio puts an arm around him, resting his head against the man’s collar. Between him and Vash, the contrast is huge and immediate. Vash is lithe and scrawny despite his own bulk, while Livio is just…a teddy bear. Soft, warm…

He tilts his head up a fraction so he can smirk at Livio from his position on his chest.]

Angie seems to enjoy it too. Don’t think I ain’t been hearin’ her whinin’ at your door in the mornin’.

[She’s definitely gotten attached.]

[livlaughlove]

[again, he flushes upon having to admit his silly reasoning.]

Maybe I'll just leave her door open... I guess I thought I didn't wanna take her from y'all, 'n keepin' it closed overnight would solve that... but that's just takin' the choice from her, huh?

[despite the sheepishness, he looks down at nico snuggled up to him just about as adoring as anyone could look at another person.]

[lupusxylem]

I mean...it's really up to you. That's what the door's for.

[He knows Livio is still getting used to being around her, even though she has wormed her way into his heart. Just as much as he's managed to get into hers, it would seem.

While they talk, Wolfwood scoots just a little bit closer. A little bit off from the edge of the bed, so he's more on it than just perched on the corner next to Livio. It also means that he's not just sitting beside the man, but more so shouldering his way into a fuller embrace.]

I'm less worried about you hoggin' her, and more about her hoggin you.

[livlaughlove]

[if nick wants closeness, he can have it. liv turns more fully toward wolfwood, wrapping him up carefully in both arms, now.]

Oh, Nick. You don't gotta worry about that. I love Angelina, but I love you most.

[lupusxylem]

You love me the most? I'm flattered.

[He snickers, nuzzling at the underside of Livio's chin. From there, he'll finally move to wrap his arms around Livio himself, looping them around his middle.]

I'm uh. I never got to say it before, but I kinda...promised you a whole bunch of time with me before... [He rolls his eyes up at the ceiling.] That. So I guess I gotta make up for it, don't I?

[livlaughlove]

[liv is almost flabbergasted that nick even asks -- but, uh, that sure is sarcasm! and he laughs, just a bit.]

I don't feel like you owe me anything. We got time, now.

[lupusxylem]

Yeah...we do got time.

[He gives Livio a squeeze, no longer nuzzling him, but instead pressing his lips to his neck now. Hi.]

So who says that time can't be now?

[livlaughlove]

[the gesture causes liv to jump a little. it seems innocuous at first, maybe, but -- it's still strangely intimate. wolfwood will likely feel the warmth that blooms under his skin.]

Huhwhauh??

[lupusxylem]

[The noise Livio makes....it makes Wolfwood chuckle in spite of himself. This is definitely the kind of thing he's needed after everything that's happened.]

Mm...? Somethin' wrong babe?

[livlaughlove]

Nothin'... wrong, just, uh...

[he gulps and shivers a little as he glances down at nick.]

That's... nice. [almost TOO nice, if you get his drift.]

[lupusxylem]

Yeah? That's kindof the point.

[Wolfwood's smirking at him now like the cheshire cat, pulling one of his arms back solely so he can lay his palm against the center of Livio's chest...to try to coax him into laying back on the bed proper. If he does, it means he'll end up pulling Wolfwood over with him.]

[livlaughlove]

[oh. wolfwood is so much smaller than him, but livio feels like he's vastly overpowered right now.

you know what, if nick wants to push him over, or even suggest it... sure, he'll comply. he just makes sure he pulls nick along with him as carefully as possible. aaand tries to will the blood out of his cheeks.]

... Comfy?

[lupusxylem]

Very.

[And now that he's practically laying across Livio's chest, he'll press his lips to Livio's for a proper kiss. Just a little smooch, for now.]

Bet I could just fall asleep on you like this.

[He could...but he has other things in mind.]

[livlaughlove]

[bless livio's heart.]

Can, if you like.

[he rubs at the small of wolfwood's back and gives a soft little kiss in return.]

[lupusxylem]

Mmm...I would. But I kinda wanna do somethin' other than sleep.

[Why would he sleep when he could smooch? Or he could pull himself a little bit higher up on Livio's chest, leaving them nose-to-nose as Wolfwood presses his forehead to Livio's.]

Whaddya think?

[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.]
