autumn catch-all

WHO: Aether and you!
WHAT: Open prompts
WHEN: Throughout autumn
WHERE: Various
WARNINGS: None for now


A. Arco Lunar
[The date with Steinbeck aside, Aether is curious to explore Arco Lunar on his own. You may see him looking at the sea while leaning against the railing, trying out different dishes in the buffet and peeking inside the spa or massage studio.

It's really rare for him to be surrounded by such luxury. He's just a traveler, after all and the best he can usually get is a comfy, but modest room in an inn... or his current home.]


B. The Dulces Sueños Resort
[Obviously, Aether wouldn't be himself if he wasn't curious about the resort. Perhaps you are the one who invited him to go, perhaps the two of you just bumped into each other and now venture into the resort together.

If you use the open bath together with Aether you will pick up that beneath the optimistic demeanour, there's actually a lot of lingering loneliness and exhaustion.

If the two of you end up spending the night in the same room, you will see one of Aether's memories. Was it a good one of fun festivals? Or was a sad memory of something lost?]


C. Chocolates
[Perhaps you are minding your own business, when suddenly someone hugs you. A sheepish voice quickly says:]

Sorry! I didn't really mean that...

[The traveler laughs softly, if not a bit awkwardly and pulls away. The chocolates he received seem to cause the person who has eaten them to want to hug others. Aether wasn't aware of that, of course, so he tried one in the morning and its effect seems to linger for the time being. It's a bit awkward, but he doesn't mind too much.

He may be giving some away depending if you're fine with such an effect or not. Or maybe he'll just decide that you need all the hugs you can get and will gift you one without an explanation.]


D. Wildcard
[If you'd like your own starter, a completely different prompt, etc feel free to contact me at discord Ashka#4609 or plurk (spiritualwhisper)! Or just go for it. Also if you'd like to do something from his bingo that's also fine! :D ]

[ Aether is so candid about this, and Vanitas starts feeling even more flustered. He closes his eyes, still pouting. ]

Yeah, yeah. You're lucky that I love-

[ ...oh. He catches himself, bites down on his lower lip. ]

...love...bothering you...as much as I do.

[ That is absolutely not what he meant to say. ]

[ ...

He finally looks back at Aether, right after taking his hand.
]

You're so cute. I can't stand it.

[ And just like that, he leans in to press his lips to the traveler's. He squeezes Aether's hand as he kisses him with more certainty.

He's never felt so scared, and yet so sure of someone in his entire life.

[ He can feel Aether's heart beneath their hands. Vanitas can't help but smile, despite himself and how his cheeks are pink. Aether's words start to drown out the fear he has about hurting him one day. He used to think being hated was easier, but nothing is as easy as loving his roommate in this moment. ]

Yeah...me too.

[ Words may still be a struggle, but Vanitas will try to put in the effort. ]

... [ He looks down, and then he pulls away from Aether. Their hands are still joined, but Vanitas leans in and presses a soft kiss to Aether's forehead, then his cheek, and the corner of his mouth. ] If you see another memory of mine tonight...I trust you with it.

[ He looks away. ]

I'm in love with you, after all.

[ He closes his eyes at the touch, taking everything in. He relaxes, and gets a little more comfortable before he speaks again. ]

It's been a long night. Get some rest. Tell me about what you see, in the morning.
