[fuck. he wasn't prepared for that, and a wave of emotion crashes through him--lust, need, fear, desire, confusion--and it isn't long before he's trembling, hand clasped over his mouth, slicking noah's hand with precome]

Hhhah--

[noah is still just... all fond acceptance and slow coiling, pleasant desire, in the face of that. not in the least bit intimidated or repelled, simply stroking him through it.]

[when he comes, it's with a breathless, muffled cry into his own hand, head a swirling mess of feelings, but the anxiety and fear has almost been completely drowned out, and he's just riding a sea of endorphins and desire]

--fuck...!

[holding him through it, making soft, encouraging noises, still stroking him until it seems like it will overwhelm.]

[he finally goes limp, all tension drained out of him, and his arms drop to his sides. eyelids fluttering, he turns his head to noah and kisses his lips, perhaps uncharacteristically soft and sweet]

[it's cute. raven is cute. noah kisses him back, languid, entirely here for it. he simply hadn't wanted to push what may be considered a line, but if raven is kissing him he has noooo complaints.]

[sighs into noah's lips, content to just kiss and luxuriate in the afterglow for a while. maybe if he gets lost in feeling good, he won't panic about what happened]

Mmm...

[maybe if he just enjoys good soft afterglow feelings, he won't have to flip the fuck out!]

Mmhm?

[juuust indulgent feelings, pleasant and warm.]

[yes, maybe he'll just do that]

... mmm.

[just hums a pleasant sound like it's an agreement. and cuddles.]

[... a surge of fondness rises in raven, and he's suddenly so, so needy for this--for connection, for intimacy, for closeness

maybe if he doesn't say anything, the moment won't end]

[noah seems perfectly willing to give it, and he can kind of tell, that raven doesn't want this to end, even if the feelings are vaguer than that? he's in no rush, at any rate.]

[eventually raven finds it in him to speak, quiet and soft, as he brushes his knuckles along noah's cheek]

"Drink to me only with thine eyes, and I will pledge with mine... or leave a kiss but in the cup... and I'll not look for wine."

[oh noooo. so cute. don't laugh, no matter how charmed and well-meaning! raven seems kind of vulnerable, so be gentle.

he is, however, smiling.]

Would that I had the words to follow ones so honeyed as those.

I'm only saying them because I... don't have the words of my own to express... everything.

[aaaaa. his heart is fluttering]

Words are difficult beasts at the best of times, and we cannot all be poets. I think some creative borrowing is suitable enough.

[dere!!!!]

I do not have such things memorized, but I could sing for you, I suppose.

Sing...?

[curious]

I have been known to partake in a bit of singing.

[he was a bard. he is very good at it.]

What sort of music do you like?

[curls up on his side facing noah, body language more relaxed]

... I'm not sure. Whatever you recommend, I guess.

Hmm. Well, hopefully you shall not mind something terribly depressing. It has been stuck in my head recently.

[he sits up. let's get some dragonsong up in here. his voice is clear and lovely tenor, and he was definitely understating his singing skill before.]

I don't mind.

[listening closely, intently, and when the song crescendos, it actually steals his breath for a moment--he didn't realize how captivated he was by being sung to]

[when the song ends, he smiles and reaches to stroke Raven's hair gently.]

Not so relevant as your poetry, but I hope it served.

[his eyes widen and then crinkle when noah does that, a wave of both longing and ease coming over him]

... it's beautiful.

I am glad you enjoyed it.

[reclining again, wanting snuggles more than to be able to sing properly.]

[raven takes the opportunity and curls closer to him]

... do they hurt at all? Your wrists.
