⠀↝ fireplace.

If I fall asleep, you have to promise you will take me to my lodge~ boyfriend tax, heh
blushes faintly as you gesture for me to rest against your chest, releasing a nervous little laugh.
Okay.
shuffles over, resting my head against your chest and slowly curling against your side with another sleepy yawn, doing my best to stifle it with my shoulder.
Excuse me!

Oh! You do have a busy day ahead of you. Good thing we decided to come in here and settle down for a while. If you want some help, call me. I want to be of assistance.
Watches as you sit and eventually lay down. Shifts my hand over to gently brush through your tresses.
Yes, of course!
Readjusts to lie down fully on my back, my head facing you as I lightly pat my chest.
You can rest your head here if you’d like.

I have a bit of a busy one, a schedule in he morning that will last until the evening.. and then I am going to pack up and move to the resort ahead of time.
moves around to sit in front of you, taking a moment to decide if i wanted to face you or not. ends up choosing to do so, lying down with my back towards the fire and peering at you.
Wanna get comfy before I snuggle?

I hope so too. Oh? You have a busy day tomorrow?
I ask while getting onto the floor, taking the pillow that is furthest away from the fire as I want you to be nice and toasty.
My plans… I have a nine hour schedule, but I will be checking in. Especially if that means I will get the chance to bump into you. Other than that, I don’t have much planned.
Pats the spot beside me, eager to have you to myself and close.

Heh.. hopefully I can relax well. Time to definitely settle down. It’s going to be a hectic day tomorrow.
nods in agreement with your choice, glancing back up at you.
What do you have planned for tomorrow?

Huh?! Maybe you are~
Laughs
I see, then the only logical solution is for me to hold you while we lie down, right? It is a bit late and you did say you didn’t sleep exceptionally well when you napped. Let me, hopefully, help make it a bit easier for you.

I did! Maybe I am the superhero~
roams my eyes over the spot as you set it up, a curious glint in my gaze.
Well, if we lie down I can't promise I will stay awake. Warm, and I have my hyungie holding me?
I'll fall asleep immediately!

Ah! You read my mind!
I’m happy that you’re down for sitting by the fire, the only thing really missing is the hot cocoa.
Yes, a cozy snuggle session.
I snatch a couple pillows from the couch, just in case we wanted to use them. I plop them on the ground a decent ways away from the fire, but close enough for us to still feel it.
Should we sit up for a while? Or would you like to lie down?

lifts up the blanket I had snagged off the top of one of the chairs we passed by, wiggling my eyebrows.
I got one already! I vote yes to sitting by the fire though.. we can have a nice little cuddle session.
can't help the expression on my features, my mood having been extremely positive ever since the first of the month.. you truly did make me feel alive, more than I can say I have in a while.

Leads the way to the fireplace, occasionally glancing in your direction with a content smile adorned on my visage. How lucky was I to have such a wonderful, inquisitive and smart boyfriend. Not to mention; adorable.
Aaand, we’re here.
Shall we get a blanket and sit close to the fire?

Hyunwoo was about to protest more but when Felix held out his hand, he simply shrugged, slipping his fingers between Felix's, giving them a squeeze. "Okay, if you're sure," the bear said, clearing his throat, mustering up a smile of his own once he saw the cat beaming at him.

Felix smiled softly at Hyunwoo. "Would you feel like I'm using you? No I wouldn't hold anything against you.I think we both truly need it. Besides... I really don't wantto be alone" His voice was quite soft ashe confessed, holding his hand for him. "Would you come with me,hyung?" The cat hybrid tilted his head and gave him a bright smile.

Hyunwoo blinked, unsure how to respond. "You wouldn't feel like I was using you? I mean, you'd still want to be friends?" It had been so long since Hyunwoo had been involved with anyone who he felt comfortable around during his rut that he'd gotten used to hiding away when it hit. Of course, this situation seemed different because Felix was in heat, but he still hesitated, struggling against what he hated - - the aggression of his rut that he would do anything to smother.

"You are truly sweet... but what if tell you I'm actually in heat now? we can help each other." He looked at Hyunwoo gently, knowing it was dangerous to be around but still he felt quite worried about the other even when they didn't know each other that well, remembering the other did take care of him when he was so exhausted and took him home saftly.

Hyunwoo shook his head firmly. "I've been thinking about it a lot the last couple of days, and I really don't want to take advantage of anyone. It would be better if I was just alone." The bear sighed. "I'd be devastated if I hurt one of my friends."

Felix looked at him gently and nodded. "I figured... well, I guess I'm not afraid of you soft hyung bear... also... I can help if you want..." He whispered shyly a bit, his eyes was still worried and soft. "Did you get everything you need? do you want to go somewhere private together? I can also bring you food, or anything else you need." His voice was gentle with the bear hybrid,also noticing his scent.

Hyunwoo didn't notice Felix approaching at first, but when he caught the cat's scent, he turned toward him as he sat down, scooting over a little bit, suddenly nervous. "You might want to be careful," the bear mumbled. "I'm in the midst of my rut."

Felix was looking around, his cat ears perked up when seeing Hyunwoo, his eyes were soft and quite worried, slowly and gently he was sitting down next the fireplace. "Hyung bear, are you ok? I didn't see you around lately..." His voice was soft to him as he looked at him with his big doe eyes, hoping he was feeling well, getting the feeling it was something related to his rut.

Hyunwoo entered the room slowly, looking around a little furtively before he exhaled, surprised to find he'd been holding his breath. Moving across the room as quietly as he could, he settled himself on the floor, crossing his legs, holding his hands out, seeking the warmth emanating from the fireplace.

he silently inches on into the quiet room and glances around briefly before going over to a sofa. turns to climb onto it and sprawl lazily

he wiggles into the room, rubbing his hands together as he got close to the fire place, holding out his hands together warm up after he wrapped a blanket around his body.
So cold. Very very cold.

Seongmin lifts his chin and presses a soft kiss to Jaewook's cheek, pulling away and leading him to the couch with a pep in his step. He was excited, any sense of nerves he had experienced moments prior were now long gone, replaced by a true sense of happiness and joy. His eyes turn to Jaewook, bouncing on his heels.
I think I have to send Yugyeom some flowers..

Jaewook lightly glides along the skin just beneath Seongmin’s eye once more, removing the tear that had fallen to his thumb. The way Seongmin leans against his hand and smiles makes the taller man grin.
There’s that pretty smile.
Jaewook leans in and presses their foreheads together.
I’m so happy you’re finally all mine, Xie Lian.
Would you.. like to join me on the couch, I’d like to hold you..

He blinks a few times in quick succession, trying to will away the tears to no avail. A fat droplet slides down over his lower lashes, wetting Jaewook's finger as he releases a hushed breath of relief. He could see the water in Jaewook's eyes.. such an empathetic alpha.. he chose well. The mouse nudges his head against the hand holding it steady, his lips curving into a smile as he speaks up in a soft voice.
The answer is yes.

Jaewook can sense the anxiety that Seong seems to be feeling through the way Seongmin tightly grips onto his hand. His heartstrings are pulled the moment he sees Seongmin’s glistening spheres. It almost makes him want to cry, his own eyes beginning to glisten as he didn’t want the little mouse to cry. A thumb raises, lightly stroking the skin just beneath the latter’s eye.
I want to be with you too, so much.
He leans in and plants a peck on Seong’s cheek.
Then, I have an extremely important question for you, little mouse.

His chest felt heavy from what he had spouted out, eyes downcast as if in shame when in all reality, he was terrified of what the other may say in response to all this new information. His heart was far too quiet for how nervous he felt. Had he just single-handedly ruined what could have been something great? Something he has wished for all his life, a person who he could call his own, his place to go to when he felt alone, someone he could actually shower in the large amount of love he held within his small figure? Did his impulsive nature just.. twist the narrative, make him see things he wanted to see instead of what was really in front of his eyes? He felt hot and cold at the same time, nausea clinging to his stomach and bringing a slight clammy texture to his hand as he gripped onto Jaewook's so so tightly- as if the alpha would vanish before his eyes.
The response, at first flies over his head. He realizes during the second sentence that it didn't seem as if he would be rejected, willing his racing heart to calm down just enough to actually hear the other. His eyes were stinging, head swimming in each individual word... he felt like he was barely keeping afloat. Jaewook's fingers beneath his chin silences the worry immediately. He looks up at him, those pretty brown orbs swimming in unshed liquid and very clearly at a vulnerable state. Maybe he had brought this up too close to his cycle-- but he couldn't help it. When he felt troubled, he had to clear his mind.
I.. I just want to be with you. Label or not.
