@❦ Jungkook His body stiffens, eyes wide and alert. What's he doing? He's /touching./ E.Den does not cope well with touching. The air in his lungs seem to be dissipating - metaphorically speaking since vampires really have no need for breathing - a burning sensation in his chest that he wants to lash out; push, kick, scratch and run a full ten meters to distance himself from any form of physical contact. But, of course, he cannot do that to the prince. Even when struck with fear he must keep a level head. 'Do not let feelings destroy you,' he chants in his head like a mantra. His brain finally works out that Jungkook is giving him a hug, albeit a somewhat inexperienced hug, but the kid means well. Luckily, he is able to restrict his instincts of fighting off the hugger until said hugger backs away. Previous encounters such as these always left him shaking and cowering, finding it so very uncomfortable. He admits it himself that it has become a phobia, a shameful error on his part. He doesn't know why but it triggers something in him, a sickening feeling at the thought of being touched. But hours of training pays off, calm and composed posture must be kept at all times or risk losing a head - literally, in extreme cases. This time he feels a small comfort that Prince Jungkook is attempting a warm gesture. E.Den watches the way the other seem so relaxed and casual, even chuckling so innocently. 'What a sweet boy' E.Den thinks, his mind at ease; the prince is harmless, and so he sits down next to him, "Sure, I'll teach you, your highness. You look like you need some relaxing, you're always energetic so it seems." The first time they met, he merely humoured Jungkook's attempts at friendliness, thinking nothing of it because why would a prince want to be friends with him? But he sees the other's efforts and E.Den might just warm up to the idea of a 'friend', such a foreign luxury to him. "Just cross your legs in the lotus position like so," he demonstrates easily enough. "Next, inhale and exhale, keep your breathing at a rhythm that's soothing to your body. And then just close your eyes and let your mind wonder."
@E.Den Jungkook frowned at the politeness of the other they were 'friends' right so they should be comfortable around each other, taking the others hand he pulled the other towards him enveloping E.Den in an awkward hug, not sure what he was mean to do next he moved back a little and tried to smile again "is that all there is to do?" He sighed and sat down letting his body hit the ground "well teach me how to meditate would you? It's a stress reliever right?" Jungkook looked up at the other thoughts travelled through his head like a train /what if this guy doesn't actually like me and is only being forced by father to look out for me?/ he sighed at the thought and the high possibility, sure he came off as a pain in the ...sometimes he was literally a pain in the , he chuckled slightly at his own joke his face sinking almost immediately, so while he might be a pain in the he actually was a nice guy...just socially awkward, and that's why he clung to E.Den, because Jungkook felt that the other was the same and just needed someone to be himself around.
@❦ Jungkook E.Den watches as an odd, lopsided kind of smile appeared on the other's face. Somehow, his own mouth starts to twitch into a small, polite smile, as if to show Jungkook how it's done. By the looks of it, he doubted the prince smiled often or were given anything to be smiling about and just as he suspected it was most probably due to those royal duties of his. "Ahh well..." E.Den clears his throat and looks around, clearly uncomfortable because what does he do? What does he say? Granted, he'd never been much of a talker but his brain truly fails to hold a conversation longer than three words. But he takes a stab at it, guessing that Jungkook obviously came here for entertainment. "Erm... There's not really much to do around here, you'll just get bored," he reasons. "I only come here to meditate and to train." To be quite honest, that's all he ever does. Seems uneventful and dull in comparison to the strange adventures of this strange prince Jungkook must get up to. It's all very strange for E.Den. He doesn't go out much but he quite likes the idea.
@E.Den "You flinched" the words escaped Jungkook's lips before he could stop them, he tried to place a pleasant smile on his face, it was something he needed to work on he knew and so he'd been working really hard at it and he could no longer tell if he was smiling or not. Jungkook moved closer to E.Den and placed on his shoulder "remember I told you not to bow to me...it's a pathetic procedure that father thought if doing...just relax...as to what I'm doing here...I decided a walk might be a good idea get me out of the stuffy house, father and brothers were loading more tasks and missions for them on my shoulders and I've had enough...plus I'd knew you'd be here and you always relax me for some reason...oh but don't take that in any strange way" he babbled slightly and decided that not talking would better, it was only around certain people he acted like this and those people...he trusted with his life...and they were few and far between.
@❦ Jungkook Surprise was not an emotion he could afford. Expect the unexpected otherwise face the consequences. Sudden skin contact did not so much surprise as the source of the voice did. "Prince?" It was no question but a mere statement. E.Den slips away from his hold, standing up to dust the snow on his clothes. He turns to bow as a sign of respect only to be face with darkness, swirling around him as if it was alive. In all years of training, he makes the one mistake he so despises, he flinches. It was for a fleeting second but he could not hide it from the ever sharp eyed vampire. E.Den clears his throat, "Prince Jungkook. What are you doing here?"
@E.Den Seeing the other in front of him Jungkook smirked, well he might as well have a little fun with this old stick in the mud, the other followed his orders precisely and precise was something Jungkook was not, he slowly crept up minding he didn't make single sound before allowing the darkness to take over, as it swirled and moved it's way towards E.Den, all the while Jungkook was still sneaking up and stopped a centimetre behind him placing his slightly cold hands over the others eyes "guess who.." He smirked knowing that his 'friend' would automatically get it.
@❧ Woohyun Yunho looked at the trees over the forest, now he was just listening to the vampire, but his thoughts were about his Jaejoong, it was so hard to be far from him, the other was his air, without him it was too hard to breath, when the prince said he will try to respect the choice of his brother it made the werewolf look back at him, so the other hated his specie, the tall just bit his lips, he hated to know his specie hurt the vampire, he never hurt someone without any good reason, sure he did killed vampires but only if they pick up a fight with him, just to protect himself or the ones he loved. Yunho just sighed when the vampire started to talking about what he was thinking, the other was keeping reading his mind up and yeah, he was right, the werewolf wanted to protect his Jaejoong so much, maybe too much. "I…I wouldn't do anything to make him..get killed…" The tall said seriously, even so he wanted to run away to the palace, to take Jaejoong with him he would never do anything to hurt him, the other was too important to him. Thinking about his beautiful lover killing himself, or hurting himself like the other told him he did when they met recently made his heart feel really horrible pain, he wanted to hug Jaejoong to be with him, to tell him how much he loves him, how much he would never leave him all alone, but eight now they were apart again and it was too hard for Yunho, he didn't know what to do else than wait for him to feel his touch, his lips, his love, the werewolf get distracted in his mind when the other told him finally his name. "Well…I believe you already know my name…and…I would do anything to make him smile, happy…I promise you Woohyun…I will do anything." The tall said honestly, wanting to hold his Jaejoong tightly and take all the pain away.
@Kim Jonghyun Jun nodded, " I don't get cold at all " Jun said as he made ice shards appear on his palm, throwing them into the air and making them burst into a sparkle of shining pieces of snow. " Not really.. just a little pain here and there.. that's it.. " he said with a soft sigh.
@❄ Jun Jonghyun laid down next to the other man, his due brushing the man's skin. "So you don't get cold?" He ask in amazement. Staring up at the sky, it looks beautiful how everything is cover in snow, although he couldn't be in human form for too long or play in the water but this makes up for it. He lay his head on his paws and himself "Are you feeling any better?" He ask, suddenly remember how the other was badly injured, he sat up and check all the wounds, making sure the bleeding has stop before the other loose too many blood, that would be a big problem.
@Kim Jonghyun Jun smiled for the first time ever since his parent's death, " I admire your determination " Jun said quietly before he laid down on the snow and sighed, his eyes closed shile he felt gentle coldness on his cheeks, opening one eye, Jun saw snow falling from the sky. " My body tempature... and well.. my power is ice as well.. " Jun said with a light smile and blew the snowflakes away into the air, making them mingle with the other snowflakes falling from the sky.
@❄ Jun "Hmm it does get lonely but I like to be independent so I can prove to my family that I can be strong!" The wolf said with determination, remembering how his family abandon him because how weak he was when he was little and how it was a disgrace to the family, he sigh. Jonghyun eyes widen as he as swatch how the snow didn't melt on the other's hand "Wah~ How did you do that?" He ask with childish excitement.
@Kim Jonghyun Jun shot the wolf a quick glare, but you could easily tell that he was fighting back a smile. " I'm blaming it on all of the trees in this forest " Jun said. Jun blinked when he heard what the wolf said, " So... you're a nice lone wolf? So.. if you're a lone wolf.. doesn't it get kind of lonely? " Jun asked as he tilted his head. Jun furrowed his eyebrows, how can someone older then him look so...cubby like? Jun tilted his head as he watched the snowflakes fly into the air, catching a few in his palm. Shwoing it to the white wolf, knowing that they won't melt.
@❄ Jun Jonghyun giggle as he watch the other cuss at the innocent tree "That wasn't the tree that injured you so why are you hitting it with snow?" the wolf ask, finding it amusing though. "I'm a lone wolf so I don't know what's going on with the vampire and wolf clan. But don't worry, I'm a good boy" Grinned the white wolf, looking like a little cub now. He lay his head on the ground and puff his cheeks up with air before blowing it on the snow, making it fly into the sky and playfully pawed it, as if trying to catch it.
@Kim Jonghyun Jun sighed softly, " Yes, we're natural enemies.. " He said as he grabbed a chunk of snow and threw it at a tree in the distance. " Curse the stupid tree.. " He mumbled before he moved his ankle, wincing from the pain. Though he was glad that the wolf was carefully tending his wounds, he really hadn't felt any pain in a long time, and he though that he would endure it.. but having somebody tend them was a different story. And yes, he did ignore that fact that the wolf was shirtless while tending his wounds. Jun blinked when he felt the wolf's warm tongue the wound on his cheek once more and again and again and again, making it feel like the wolf was up his blood only. " I... guess.. " he responded with a light shrug, before feeling the other's body heat against the coldness of his skin.
@❄ Jun "I don't know what made wolves fight with vampire but whatever it is, I am not involve. I have no grudges against you so why may I hurt you? Just because you different species from me?" Sigh the white wolf as he turn into his human form, looking still a bit short like his wolf size. He took off his shirt and treated the wolfs injuries, stopping the bleeding by tearing his shirt and wrapping it tightly around the wounds. He shiver from the cold against his bare skin so he change back to wolf form, continue the vampire's wound on his cheek.'"Are you feeling better?" He ask, scooting closer so the other can borrow some of his body heat.
@Kim Jonghyun Jun gasped when he was hauled onto the wolf's back, " Hold on.. tight? " Jun said barely a whisper before the wolf started sprinting away from the other wolves, holding onto the werewolf's white blonde fur. Jun managed to stay conscious throughout the whole ride. Keeping his head low, Jun couldn't hear anything but the roar of the wind against his ears and the howls of the wolves that were far behind them. But Jun was quickly losing blood, which was making it impossible for him to stay awake, but thank the gods that the wolf stopped running. Growling when he felt the wolf's warm tongue against his bloody cheek, Jun frowned " Why did you even help me? Could've just let me become Dog food.. " he replied coldly looking down at the blood covered snoe of where his cheek was bleeding.
@❄ Jun Jonghyun groan at the males stubbornness. He haul the man up by the back of shirt and threw him on his back. He glance back and smirk as he see' the wolves approaching "Hold on tight" he howl before breaking off in a print, dodging in coming trees and branches,". After a while, he slowed down to a stop since he stop hearing the wolves or smelling them. He set the injured vampire to a the wound on his cheek "Are you ok?" He ask.
@Kim Jonghyun Jun frowned from the impact, his didn't know what made him hit the tree so hard, but he knew one part of him was broken or worst.. torn off.. his head whipped around when he heard a voice, a frown replacing at the scent of the werewolf. " Thanks but.. no " He mumbled as he got up but stumbled when his sprained ankle made it impossible for him to stand, but he didn't care, he would give his life to the witch rather then just ask a werewolf for help. But the sound of crunching snow made him panic, getting onto the wolf's back, Jun just hoped he made the right choice.
@❄ Jun Jonghyun was lazying in his cave when he head fast footstep and nose wrinkle as he pick up a scent of a vampire and faint scent of werewolves. Blinking, his ears twitching at some faint sound of howls and growls, so he stood up, strolling out to see what the big commotion is about. Just as he paddle out, in wolf form, a figure whip pass him in the distance, body checking into the tree. Jonghyun wince as he heard a crack from the impact, well that must hurt, he thought. His head whip to sound of werewolves approaching them, fast, taking running quickly, he reach the injured vampire, nudging him gently. "Hey, get on. I'll take you to a safe place" he said softly, gesturing to his back for the other to climb on.
@Kim Jonghyun Jun sighed as he sprinted past the trees, dodging all the snow covered branches, his eyes widening when he heard the howl of those werewolves nearby. His thoughts too occupied by the thoughts of fear, only to hit into a tree, hitting his face against it as a branch scratched his face. Tumbling down from the painful hit, Jun was sure his knees and hands were scrapped. Fear quickly rippled through his body when he heard footsteps approch him, his cheek bleeding from the scratch of the tree branch. Hoping that it wasn't a werewolf.
Ren nodded, "probably not but it's not like we have anything to lose if we try, is she still alive?" he asked curiously, no one had ever told him about the witch, not even any of his closest brothers and he was really curious to know more about this woman, "oh maybe you can answer this for me," the pale boy smiled sheepishly, "no one has ever wanted to tell me why werewolves and vampires have been fighting for so long.
Ren shrugged, "I can't remember if I saw any, I probably did when I was human but I can't remember anything from back then," he said with a sheepish smile on his face, "I've seen lots of flowers on books and Injun's drawings, I also wear a rose scented perfume," he added. "I bet they're not that bad, if there was sun o bet they'd be beautiful~"
The young prince pouted at him and huffed, "I have nothing better to do with my life than worry about my hair and little things like that," he whined in a playful smile, "oh and my face, and nails and clothes.." he said then giggled.
"Somehow I don't think one person's kindness would change her mind." Sunggyu countered, but he honestly wasn't sure. He had patrolled around the witch's house many a time, but had never caught a single glimpse of her. Part of him thought, and hoped, she was dead. Then again, she might be the only person who could actually break the curse that she had cast.
"Have you ever seen a flower?" He asked softly, remembering the ones that he struggled to help grow in pots in his room. Without the sun, though, it was hard. "I grow some. Nothing too impressive. They're more like weeds than anything."
Letting his hand fall back to his side, the werewolf smiled fondly as he watched Ren fuss over his hair. It was almost comical how he seemed to worry so much about his appearance while the world was going to Hell all around them. Then again, it was the simple things that made their lives more bearable. "It's because you're so pretty. People can't help it."
@Sunggyu (So I heard from his role-player XP oh well now Sunggyu knows not to mess with him)
Ren pouted as he heard what the other was saying, "someone should have gone and talk to her, maybe showing her some kindness could have changed her mind," he said the first thing that came to his mind but then he remembered that kindness and their kind was not something that was seen everyday. The young prince couldn't really see what was so bad about the snow but it would be nice to see some life around here, "I like the snow but... Someday I'd love to see a flower here," he said with a small smile.
The young prince smiled and nodded, "exactly!" he said and wrinkled his nose when his hair was ruffled, it was an action that really annoyed him but he didn't mind it. He fixed his hair and grinned, "why does everyone always do that?"
@❧ Ren ((Well, Sunggyu provoked him on purpose. He didn't think Injun was good enough to be alpha and told him to fight him to prove it))
"You haven't heard of her?" Sunggyu asked, his small eyes widening in shock. It didn't even dawn on him that the vampire had once again delved into his mind without permission. "Well... I guess it was a long time ago, before your time. Hell, it was even before my time. I have never seen her personally... She might not even be alive anymore, but the legend says that she cursed our kind because of our greed. That's why it's always winter and there's no sunlight."
Chuckling, the werewolf reached out to affectionately ruffled Ren's blonde hair, marveling in how soft and silky it was. Vampires were truly fascinating once you got passed the whole bloodsucking thing. "That's the spirit. The world is dark enough, we don't need to let the darkness into our hearts, too." He murmured wisely.
@Sunggyu (Yeah he's supposed to start being mean and whatnot because he's the alpha but why did he do that? Hmm I might later ^^)
Ren blinked at what the other was thinking and he couldn't control himself from asking, "witch? W-what witch?" he asked, not really thinking Sunggyu would get angry that Ren had read his mind again but he really wanted to know, he wanted to know the reason why they had ended up like this and why was it that their kind was fighting.
The young prince really didn't think there was much hope for his hyung and his lover or for Injun and himself but he had to stay positive or he'd end up a depressed messed like Jaejoong, "yeah, there's still a chance to change all of this. There's always hope~" he said cheerfully.
@❧ Ren ((lol yeah O__o it was surprising. he really beasted out on Sunggyu, went right for his throat. it's on our walls if you wanted to read it))
The werewolf nodded solemnly, wishing that there was some way to change their terrible fate but it was out of their hands. The witch had cursed them all and no one had any idea how to break it. All they could do was endure their suffering and hope, maybe, that they'd find someone to have by their side to help them get through it all.
"... You seem really optimistic. You think that Yunho and your brother really have a chance at happiness together?" He asked curiously and couldn't help admiring how much hope Ren had. He had more in him that perhaps all of their wretched kind combined and it baffled him. When he was human and believed in a higher power, he would have said that Ren was blessed... Now he wasn't sure what to call it.
@Sunggyu (Oh why did they battle? *pouts* and wait.... He was beat up by little sweet Injun?? I wanna read that XD)
Ren nodded his head slowly, he was well aware of the risks of being different, "that is true.. And if not killed then you'll end up like Yunho.. And my hyung..." he muttered, the two were still alive but Ren knew from Yunho's own words that not being able to be with his lover was worse than death, "the world we live on is just cruel.." he mumbled.
Ren smiled and giggled, "well I like getting some attention every now and then hmm?" he nodded his head happily, The young prince was really happy to see Sunggyu opening up to him like that, Ren really wanted to make a difference, if not in the war itself at least in some of the people in it. "I won't get killed, I have to be alive for when my brother can finally be happy with Yunho.. That's one thing I want just as much as my own happiness."
