autumn catch-all

[startraveler]

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 ]

[ Vanitas moves down onto the bed, on top of Aether with ease. His pants are still on, and while he would move to encourage Aether to slip those off, too, he has something he wants to take care of first. He presses another kiss to Aether's lips, before he starts trailing his lips downward. He doesn't linger around the other's neck area for too long, this time. He moves down to Aether's chest instead, as his hands hold onto the other man's waist.

Vanitas pulls back and looks for any scars that Aether may have of his own. If there are any that he can see, he'll go ahead and return the favor by pressing his lips to them. If there's nothing obvious, he'll just resume his slow exploration of Aether's body and pepper kisses all over his torso. His thumbs rub circles into the other's skin, and his eyes flicker upward for a brief moment to look at how Aether's reacting to this. ]

[His skin is surprisingly clear with no obvious mark whatsoever. Still, he realizes that Vanitas wants to return the favour and so, Aether just loosely wraps his arms around the other's neck, eyes closing as he enjoys the attention. There are some sighs escaping his lips as he's kissed so carefully, his back arches forward to receive more affection. His face is bright red as heat builds up in his body. Everything feels pleasant and warm.

His fingers tangle into Venitas' hair as if trying to tell him to keep going. It all feels so good.]

[ Those sighs are music to his ears. A shiver runs down his spine when Aether's hand goes into his hair, and his hands move to the waistband of his pants. Gently, he tugs them down and moves his hand to touch his partner.

He's never felt like this before. He's never felt the urge to give so much of himself to someone as freely as he is now. Vanitas is so used to walling people off and keeping to himself, that being able to do something so intimate with someone is a huge jump for him. He may have gone far with Amber, but he was also driven by something external to do so. Here, with Aether, it's entirely him and his instincts guiding him. That, and his feelings, which are starting to run extremely deep.

Vanitas' touch is surprisingly gentle at first, and he does his best to gauge the Traveler's reactions. He's deeply inexperienced, and it's written in how red his face is, but he buries his face in Aether's shoulder to mask how nervous he is about this. He sighs against the other's skin, breathes warm air onto it, as his free hand tangles itself in Aether's hair. ]
