"None in this complex that I've been told. If I have, I would have called you to make sure you were alright. Worst part is thinking about how ACs are more likely to break down. I really hope summer isn't going to be as chaotic."

Rose leans into him, humming softly. ❝ I'm really glad mine is still working. Then again, I'm used to the cold... maybe I didn't use my heat enough- ❞

"Much more comfortable, yes." He gave a soft laugh, wrapping an arm around his boyfriend. "...And I'm not sure whether or not I regret giving my assistants the holidays off. So many heating systems broke down..."

He sips his tea, smiling warmly when he sees Alistair without his wig. ❝ Comfortable? ❞

As he expected, putting the honey in his own tea as he sat down. "Oh...habits..." Alistair chuckled, removing his wig. "...That's a bit better."

【 MOVED ACCOUNTS 】@eyes-for-disguise.bsky.social · 9mo ago

He sits up, smiling weakly. ❝ Thanks, babes. ❞ He takes his cup of tea, beginning to put spoonful after spoonful of sugar in.

"Almost ready." He loaded up a tray with the tea and cups. Maybe some honey and sugar just in case before heading back to the living room. "It's ready."

❝ You should. I love him a lot. ❞ He flops down to lay on the couch. A yawn leaves him.

Alistair smiled, leaning down to pet the cat. "Maybe. Don't know until they meet properly since Mango can fly. I should bring him by more."

【 MOVED ACCOUNTS 】@eyes-for-disguise.bsky.social · 9mo ago

❝ I feel like Olive would have been rough with Mango. He really likes to play. ❞ Speaking of cats. S'more rubs up against Alistair's legs.

"I'll be back as fast as I can." Alistair rushed to the kitchen. Tea. Quickly but not so fast it ruined it... "I wish I brought Mango now."

【 MOVED ACCOUNTS 】@eyes-for-disguise.bsky.social · 9mo ago

❝ I can still... ❞ No. No. He can't. He collapses onto the couch, waving his hand. ❝ Go ahead. ❞

He couldn't help a soft laugh, still hanging onto him. "Maybe I should make the tea. You look like you need the rest more, honestly."

【 MOVED ACCOUNTS 】@eyes-for-disguise.bsky.social · 9mo ago

❝ Please and thank you. ❞ He pulls Alistair into his apartment, closing the door behind him. Rose looks... so tired.

"Yeah...guess we both are. Tea and cuddles, dear?"

【 MOVED ACCOUNTS 】@eyes-for-disguise.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Not mad at all. Just lonely. He clutches the vampires clothes, his breathing shaky. ❝ Just... stressed. ❞ A partial truth, at least.

Okay! Not mad at him. The vampire quickly hugged him back. "...I'm sorry I've been away... Lots of emergency calls and holiday stuff. But...more importantly, are you alright?"

【 MOVED ACCOUNTS 】@eyes-for-disguise.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Who in the WORLD could that be? He shuffles over to the door, opening it and staring at the man before him. ❝ ... ❞ He immediately tears up, yanking his lover into a hug.

Alistair froze, having been about to knock. Shit...he hoped it wasn't from being busy and Rose was upset... He gently knocked. If that was the case, better to take the scolding. If not, time to be a good boyfriend and see what WAS wrong.

He just got home from work. He collapses onto his bed, taking a deep breath as his face plants into a pillow. He screams as loud as he can, though it's muffled. ... Maybe he needs a friend right now-

i don’t know much about you folks… but i can tell you as sure as the sun’s gonna come up tomorrow: y’all keep going, and y’all keep trying.

Alistair sighed, passed out on a couch. A rare sight. The man that always seemed so outgoing and social looked exhausted. "Please no more emergency heating calls... At least the parties are over... Crap...New Years... I had to stretch myself thin again..."

//I just went through new followers and while I tried to be careful, please let me know if I followed back anyone that was called out as problematic and trusted mutuals just haven't had the chance to unfollow/block yet.

//Deep breaths, deep breaths. I think I'm okay. SAD is a bitch... I tried so hard to get over the funk in time for Christmas and I guess mentally screaming at myself didn't help. Holiday chaos, family drama, all the fun shit....but I think I'm okay now? I really don't want to disappear again...

I wonder how this’ll do.

Hot damn, was his face ever red! "Oh, yes...~"

Tomio flashed a smile up at him before he pressed his palm against Alistair’s chest to lay him down onto his back. “Care to find out?”

What good are words when a smile says it all?

//What a roller-coaster of a day. About to sit down to do a word search and the power went out. And it's actually again. The last time was about when I stopped replying earlier but that was coincidental timing going to a Friendsgiving.

"What are you thinking~?"

Tomio Yoshioka ♱ 吉岡富夫@witheringdatura.bsky.social · 11mo ago

“I could easily do worse.”

"Can't help it. You know how to tease me~."

Tomio Yoshioka ♱ 吉岡富夫@witheringdatura.bsky.social · 11mo ago

“The way you keep shivering definitely proves that.” he laughed.

"Certainly...not complaining...~" He laughed softly. "Love you as you are~."

Tomio Yoshioka ♱ 吉岡富夫@witheringdatura.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Tomio gave an indignant snort. “More or less, yes.”

He gasped, trying not to tense a little. The vampire did trust him. "F-fuck, you little devil~..."

Tomio Yoshioka ♱ 吉岡富夫@witheringdatura.bsky.social · 11mo ago

“Pft. So you say.” He gently tapped the side of Alistair’s neck with his long nails as if debating something. He nipped at his neck again, though it’s a bit harder than the last. He wants to bite him just to mess with him, but he knows he can’t without risking his own hunger.

"Could never...be bad at this~."

Tomio Yoshioka ♱ 吉岡富夫@witheringdatura.bsky.social · 11mo ago

“I’m glad you think so,” he laughed. He trailed kisses down from his jaw down to his collarbone lazily.

He chuckled softly, even with his shivers of enjoying it. "You're doing...a great job~."

Tomio Yoshioka ♱ 吉岡富夫@witheringdatura.bsky.social · 11mo ago

“I want to. You spoil me all the time.” He pressed a kiss to the underside of his jaw before moving up to press another kiss to the corner of his mouth.

"And why not? There's no need to to the point of panicking."

【 MOVED ACCOUNTS 】@eyes-for-disguise.bsky.social · 11mo ago

❝ That's different! I have nothing against brunets! ❞ He gestures to his hair. ❝ /I/ just can't be! ❞

The vampire not complaining, also enjoying it. "Spoiling me~."

Tomio Yoshioka ♱ 吉岡富夫@witheringdatura.bsky.social · 11mo ago

He leaned back forward to continue to press almost feather-light kisses to his neck. Tomio’s definitely having fun.

He gave another shiver. Damn... "Of course, dearest~."

Tomio Yoshioka ♱ 吉岡富夫@witheringdatura.bsky.social · 11mo ago

He lifted a hand to rest against the side of Alistair’s neck, his thumb gently brushing against the skin. “Then, it’s fine if I carry on, right?”

//Holy shit! I go to a party with my autism group and get the news it was already approved!

"You forget...I wanted this~."

“Did you think burning me like that 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙣'𝙩 have consequences?”
