Another Round of Mail

To say the least Carys was surprised when he got the next letter from the Cupid's Chokehold company, he'd forgotten all about it between when he'd filled it out and and now. This time instead of a small letter he'd gotten one of those yellow, eight by tens. He gave it a little look over before taking it and the other mail he'd gotten and retreated to the safety of his apartment to look over the contents. Within were three profiles much like the one that he had filled out and attached to them were the photos of the ones that had filled them out. He flipped through them, looking at the pictures first before reading over the profiles. He'd never said anything about gender when he'd filled out his own profile so they had given him a mix, two girls and a guy. No, no his mistake there were two guys he discovered as he read the profiles over. They all had their upsides he thought to himself as he set them down on the counter and stretched out all over. The three they had picked sounded interesting but his mind kept going back to one of the profiles in particular. The guy he'd thought at first was female and the fact that he was a Fae. He could recall only a little about that group, just that his family hadn't exactly gotten along with them.

He looked over towards the stack of papers, he really shouldn't base this decision on what would most tick off his estranged family he told himself. To which he replied aloud to himself with, "There are other reasons. He is kind of cute." He had a gem colored hair and eyes too which was attractive in the mind of the half dragon. He moved back over to the papers and reached a hand out to pick back up his profile, reading it over again. There were other reasons here for them to at least meet he thought to himself, look he liked sweets which Carys wasn't bad at making... to bad he failed at most other cooking that didn't come out of a box. He was musically inclined, something else that the dragon side of him found to be interesting, a good song played on one of those could lull any dragon... which meant he'd have to make sure he trusted him before he even thought to bring him here. His apartment was full of his gathered treasures, nothing he wanted to lose because he trusted someone to fast. His job sounded interesting too, something Carys couldn't imagine doing himself though. He wasn't one that wanted to many eyes on him at once time hence why he'd chosen the line of work he was in.

Carys moved over to get a pen, filling out which of the three that he wanted to try his first date with. The company sounded pretty dead set on the fact that they would find him love no matter what so if it didn't work out he was sure there would be more profiles sent his way. He tucked everything into the provided envelope and set it aside. He'd send it out tomorrow with the rest of the mail... and speaking of the rest of his mail. He set to going through it, finding most of it to be the normal junk, bills, and other randomness that he had little interest in at the moment. He went through the process that was separated the mail into stacks, filling out and paying the bills, and tossing out what he didn't need. It was a mechanical process as he wasn't thinking on the mail at the moment. Instead he was thinking on the Fae, Paroparo. What did he know about dating aside from what one gathered from watching TV or watching people you passed in the street?

The time between now and when the date was arranged was going to be nerve wracking he thought to himself as he gave a low hiss in the back of his throat. He would just have to make sure to keep himself extra busy in hopes of making it the last thing on his mind... though currently alone and with nothing to do it was the first and foremost thing on his mind...

The Third Date: Part One

(( Paroparo belongs to Jayoku, RP done on MSN ))

The elf was nervous, he couldn't help it. He just was, and despite being told he didn't have to bring anything he felt it rude to come empty handed. So...wine. Yes..he had white wine held in his hands. He...wasn't sure if Carys's drank, he himself drank very little and very infrequently. But now his hair as neat as if could be and wearing a cute frilly shirt with pants he shifted the weight of the bottle before knocking on the half dragon's door. He really hoped he had gotten the right address...otherwise this would of been very embarrassing

Carys turned to looked toward the door for a long moment, turned to make sure that everything was in order in the kitchen before he hurried over to the door. He was pretty excited over this, it wasn't often if ever that he had company over. He was rather looking forward to the visit from the Fae, to let him in in such a manner was a new and big deal.

The half dragon opened up the door and gave a bright smile, "Hello and welcome." He said, stepping back so that Paroparo could come in.

The place was neat, cleaned up just today to be immaculate, not wanting any messes to chase the other man off.

Paroparo looked up ...he was short after all at the half dragon who answered the door. It..had been a long while. e had forgotten just how short he was compared to him. Smiling though he gave a bit of a chuckle and took a step into his house. His eyes going big as he noticed just how clean it was. He is going to think i am a pig! he thought desperately through his mind.
"Your place is lovely thank you for having me over." He stated as he took a couple more steps inside. "Uh...I know you told me not to bring anything but...uh..well here. I couldn't not bring something."

Carys closed the door behind the Fae, looking over at the bottle that he was holding and gave a smile, "Thank you, if you like we can put it in the fridge and have it with dinner." He told him, leading the way there. The kitchen was one of his favorite rooms of the house and currently there was a lot of stuff set up on the counter, he'd figured out something he'd wanted to do for Paroparo and all the items tied into that, they were all ingredients for making sweets.

He tried not to look too eager, but he daintily took off his shoes before stepping any further into his home. He then followed Carys intot he kitchen his eyes taking in all the interesting things he spotted until his nose caught the scent of sweet. Focusing on it he couldn't contain his glee as a bit of a happy squeal escaped his lips. He instantly put his hand to his mouth as if he couldn't believe he had just uttered that noise.

A soft chuckle came from the dragon as he looked over at Paroparo, "I thought that I would make something for you." He said, giving a grin before motioning at all of what he had laid out.

Paroparo moved to see what Carys's was planning. Chewing his lower lip as he eagerly awaited for his surprise.

"Y..you didn't have to go to th..this much trouble." He managed to squeak out.

He gave a smile as he peeked into the oven to check on what was in there before turning around to give the Fae a smile, "I wanted to though, it seems like it would mean more to make you something then to just buy you something." He said with a smile.

He felt his face flush a bit, he looked to the bottle in his arm before moving to place it on the counter a bit sheepishly.

"I can't say i am much of a wine maker..." He mumbled before turning back to face the man. He looked up to him with a smile, it would be the first time someone had made him something. His brother didn't count.

"Wow...I..n..need to have you..over sometime. ANd..I ..c..can cook for you too." He murmured with a happy chirp.

The half dragon gave a bit of a laugh, "I thank you for the wine, it was a nice surprise." He said, more so since he'd told the Fae that he didn't have to bring anything with him. He looked over at the wine before giving a grin.

His attention went to Paro and he gave a smile, "Oh? That would be nice." He said, finding himself a bit curious about what sort of place he lived in.

He nodded his head, his face starting to blush a bit. "It..really smells good..w...what are you cooking?" he inquired his curiosity starting to get the better of him. He was also a bit nervous as ..the closer evening came he knew that he would have to fight the urge to release his wings. He didn't...use them often..but they just sorta came out at night.

"Y..eyes! you need to come over soon." He continued with a happy sound.

"For dinner a casserole... its got to be simple for me to cook if its real food." He confessed, giving a bit of a laugh before he looked over to the stuff he had laid out on the counter, "Here though we are going to make some brownies." He picked up the recipe for the brownies with the somewhat threatening name of 'Death by Chocolate' and held it out for Paroparo to look over.

The Fae giggled despite himself. He couldn't help it, Cary's honesty was refreshing. He then reached for the recipe and looked it over. His eyes were shining as if he had just read the most beautiful thing int he world.

"It sounds lovely.." He drawled dreamily as he then rolled up a sleeve and then another as if he was ready to get down to work right this moment.

"You certainly know a way into my heart." He said with a giggle, though his face went red as he realized what he has just spoke.

Carys gave a bit of a grin at that, "Well I will make sure to create all sorts of nice treats for you if they will do so well in winning you over." He said, half serious and half teasing as he slid the mixing bowl over to sit on the counter where they would both be able to reach it. It seemed that Paroparo was wanting to help, something that he wouldn't mind at all. It would make it more interesting as the only one he'd ever backed with before was his Mother.

Paro's face went beat red at the tease, he rubbed the back of his head trying to half giggle it off, though he himself secretly hoped that it would come to pass. Having someone baking for him would be a change. He watched as the bowl was brought over, eager to start he reached for it, but then held back...it would be rude to take over. So instead he smiled sheepishly.
"Uh...what is the first ingredient?" He inquired.

Carys checked the recipe and then gathered what they would need, the first part of the recipe calling for chocolates, butter, and instant coffee, "We need to put these into a bowl and then microwave it until its all melted." He said, reading out the amounts of each ingredient they would need, "If you want to do that part I will get the next part ready." He said, getting a pots they would need.

He nodded his head and reached for the bowl and then changing his mind moved so he could stand next to Cary's. He then tried to..uh...'bump' into Carys's...although trying to make it look like an accident he ...knew he face was blushing anyway. Way to be obvious. Him and flirting ...just didn't work.

"...u..uh you said chocolate, butter and coffee?" He murmured embarrassed.

Carys looked down at him as he got close, bumping against him in a manner that seemed to have been a not exactly well planned 'accident' and he couldn't help but give a little grin, "Yes, those three." He said, finding the Fae's version of flirting to be a lot cuter then a lot of to straight forward people he'd crossed paths with.

Chewing on his lower lip he tried to not look at Cary's for a moment. he really wanted to...but feared the smile or laugh would cause him to just panic. He was a terrible flirt...so bad. Swallowing he took the three items measure them out and then popped them into the bowl. THen looking around spotted the microwave...which...was behind Carys...which meant he needed to go past him. Trying not to look nervous he smiled again at him before moving past and then...found he was...just a bit short. Standing on his tip toes he pressed the door open button and managed to get it open and close it. He then backed up a couple steps wondering how he was going to press the timer and backed into Carys. Meeping he turned around, "Ah..I..I'm sorry!"

The half dragon looked down at him, "Your alright." Assured him, giving him a smile, "Its only us here so you don't have to worry." He reached passed Paroparo to pressed the buttons on the microwave, starting it to melting the ingredients that were in the bowl before turning his attention to Paro, "Would you like a step stool?" He asked of him, having forgotten the difference in their sizes and that this kitchen was designed for one his own size.

He felt a bit embarrassed that he would have to use a step stool and thus shook his head, "Uh..no..if..if you ca..can help me I will be okay" He replied with a smiled, swallowing again wondering why it felt like his heart was in his throat. This was only their, second date...he shouldn't be so nervous should he?

"Of course, if you need any help with anything just ask." He said, looking up at the numbers on the microwave, waiting for it to count down before he reached up and fetched the bowl, "Here we go. Alright, now for the next step."

He set the bowl on the counter as he looked over at the Fae, tilting his head. Was it just him or did Paro seem a little out of sorts? He could only hope he wasn't still worried about becoming potential dinner or something like that.

Paro moved back to the kitchen table kinda feeling like a kid watching mother cooking. Well he would have to change that...

"What's next?" He asked wondering it would be rude to ask if the cracked the wine now...

Carys looked at the recipe, "Lets see." He retrieved the next set of ingredients, "We need to stir in the sugar, salt, baking powder, and extracts into the chocolate mix." He told the Fae, looking over his shoulder as he moved over to the kitchen table curious now if he were wanting to leave the cooking for him to do or it he just needed a little break.

Paro nodded his head and then went to retrieve the items listed. He handed Carys the baking powder and the salt, but hesitated with the sugar. before he finally broke down and opened the bag and scooped a tiny bit into his hand then then licked his palm. Sugar always helped calm him down....He looked up a bit devastated at what he had done...he did this all the time at home...NEVER before at another person's house.

"Ah! i am sorry! I...don't normally do that...well I do..but only at home! Oh my...I promise to buy you another bag of sugar...!"

Carys couldn't help but give a little laugh, "Its alright, there is plenty to go around I promise." He said, never having seen anyone eat straight sugar before, normal he would steal the chocolate chips when he was baking alone but was trying to behave himself at the moment, "You can have as much as you like, we only need so much for the brownies."

He gave another little laugh, not so much at Paro but more the situation, finding it to be cute.

Paro felt his face hot, more than a bit embarrassed at what he had done as well the fact Carys seemed to encourage it.

"Ah...n...o..that's o..okay. I..m..sorry I am..just nervous....uh..could...we...start...on that wine?" he inquired hoping to hell Carys wouldn't just throw him out thinking he may of been just after the sugar and alcohol.

The Third Date: Part Three

(( Paroparo belongs to Jayoku, RP done on MSN

Now with Shounen-Ai Goodness ))

Carys watched him closely before nodding, setting the items down on the counter for later, "Sure, I probably should have given you the tour when you first got here." He said, giving a little smile. They'd been so eager to get to cooking instead. He made a motion with his hand, "Lets start this way then." He said, leading the way to his living room.

The room was nice, had a comfortable feel to it, and sitting on all of the flat surfaces were random treasures that the dragon had gathered together during his lifetime. All of them seemed to be of value, a lot of them sparkling... it was the dragon in him that attracted him to such things.

"The living room." He said, though that was obvious then pointed, "That door over there goes to the bathroom if you ever need it."

Paroparo was a bit overwhelmed at all the sparkles. He was temporarily rendered immobile as he feared he may bump into something and break it. He looked around noting the trend and then noted the bathroom. "AH thanks. " He mentioned taking note of it. He wondered if they were going to sit in this room at some point in the future.

Carys continued to lead the way, motioning to a large curtain off to the side, "Behind that is a glass door that leads to the balcony." He kept the curtain closed since it was just an invitation to thieves to have it open... though it was less likely to happen due to being up a few floors... he was just a bit paranoid about his treasures.

He turned a took a few steps forward, "Down this hall are the other rooms, a bedroom, a guest room, and a storage room."

Paro tilted his head ,a storage room? He peered at Carys as he came to stand beside him and took another drip of his wine.

"so...is that were you lock up all your pretties?" He inquired.

He gave a little laugh, "Yeah, some of them are kept in there. The ones I don't keep on display." The ones he felt unable to show off, the ones he wanted to keep hidden away... the dragon in him was the cause of that room. He went in from time to time to take stock of what he had, starring at it in a delighted manner, all but purring over it... He turned to give Paroparo a grin, "Its a dragon's hobby to collect special treasures and hide them away."

He nodded his head as he listened and then gave a small laugh.
"Guess I don't need to worry about getting locked up in there." He giggled, as he himself didn't think he was particularly special or pretty. He just like girly clothes it felt more...open. He wouldn't pry into the sacred space, he would let Carys decide if he ever would show it to him.

He couldn't help but give a laugh, "Yeah, well... normally our kind keep Princesses in rooms other then storage." He said before he realized what he said, gave a blink then a flush, "Ahh... I mean..."

Paro's face went bright red he held onto his wine before taking a small sip before his bumbling mind tried to think of a response. "Ah..haha....I..don't suppose...y..you supply the princess's...with..brownies do you?" He inquired with the mild flirt.

"I am sure it could be arranged. Brownies, cakes, cookies, I can even make a few sorts of candy." He offered, wondering why he sounded as though he were negotiating for Paro to become his princess.

Paro shifted on the spot, and chewed on his lower lip. Now...his mind didn't normally tend to wander into the gutter, but right at this moment he ...felt his face burning hot.

"And what is this dragon's preferred dress colors?" He asked taking a small step closer to him.

Carys tilted his head to the side, thoughtful, "Most any of them are good but I am slightly biased toward gold." He said, giving a bit of a grin. It helped that he was a Gold Dragon and that gold was among his favorite things to collect.

He logged that piece of information into his brain. Gold. So he liked gold. He preferred silvers himself. More things could match with silver. He looked up Carys...suddenly wishing...he was taller. Of course...being taller wouldn't help matters too much....
"A golden princess...I can..be that..." he murmured his face very bright and flushed.

Carys gave a smile, a mental image appearing in his mind and he lifted his hand up to run it over Paroparo's cheek, "I think I rather like the sound of that." He murmured.

It was like a fuse went off in his brain. He was being touched again, and all he could do was look up at that man's duel colored eyes and melt. He trembled slightly before tilting his head to kiss the hand on his cheek. As if accepting the proposal.

His form moved faster then his mind, before he even really realized what he was doing he had Paro in his arms, the Fae's feet up off the ground, and he was kissing him... he couldn't help but flush again when his mind caught up with his actions... though it didn't stop him. Instead he finished the kiss before lowering Paroparo back down.

Paro's eyes went wide. Suddenly he was up off the ground, literally swept off of o his feet and lips were being pressed against his passionately. Then..it seemed over much too quickly and he was back out the ground again. He felt...breathless, like he had drained the very essence of his being out of him. He blinked a couple of times trying to regain thought before suddenly he jumped up arms reaching for Carys as suddenly wings appeared like a luminous bubble behind his back. It was what helped him up and kept him aloft as he wrapped his arms gently around Carys neck and then kissed him back.

The half dragon was dazzled by the wings, the colors catching his attention as the Fae used them to rise off the ground... and then he was being kissed back and his interest in the wings was forgotten for them moment. His arms moved to catch hold of Paro, to hold him close as he returned the second kiss, even more into it this time as it wasn't a spur of the moment reaction.

Paro felt his who being move with this kiss, the first one had been spontaneous this one...was meaningful. He felt his body tremble as he felt Carys hold him and when his wings flapped something like sparkling dust showered down upon them. ...This was only their third date. Was...this appropriate kissing? The thought was dismissed instantly, they were grown up...not teenagers... but still he twined a finger through Carys hair as the kiss continued.

Carys drew back only when he had to, coming up for a breath though he didn't release the Fae, instead smiling down at him. His mind wasn't really even thinking about how long they had know each other, instead he was thinking on the fact that this was comfortable. He wasn't a hands on person but he rather enjoyed the feel of having Paro so close to him.

Paro looked up at him, his eyes glossed over like he was dreaming. Hell...he never had kissed a man before...never mind a man nor a woman. He was always perceived as too girly for women...and..well this was his first for dating men. His early ...nervousness of Carys being part dragon seemingly forgotten. After their kisses he sighed and laid his head on the man's chest. It...felt so nice.

The half dragon gave a smile, taking a couple steps back so that he could sit down on the couch with Paroparo in his lap, one hand running over the Fae's pretty colored hair. He was contented with the quiet of the moment and the warmth, not wanting to spoil it with words especially as he had no idea what to say in a situation like this.

Murring the fae looked up at Carys as they moved to sit on the couch. He wondered idly where...they were suppose to go next int he conversation. It..could turn all so awkward so quickly. Instead he moved forward again to lay his forehead against Carys his hands coming up to stroke his face whilst he peered down at his beautiful eyes. What would his brother say? Oh ..dear god Carys had to meet..him.

Carys gave him a smile, having no idea what he was thinking about and seemed to be trying to decide upon what to say, think... think... think... everything seemed so strange to say after such kisses. He gave a bit of a smile as something came to mind, "Mmm, how about we get the brownies and wine and go sit on the balcony?"

He blinked and then realizing he was basically sitting on the guy hurriedly hoped off. "Ah....y..yes...t..that sounds good." He murmured his wings folding down against his back and disappearing. His face was still red, and it looked like he ...had been reluctant to move off of the man.

Rising to his feet Carys reached a hand out to run his fingers along Paroparo's cheek before he started for the kitchen, he got a knife and set to cutting the brownies. He was looking quite pleased with all that had happened. When the brownies were ready he fetch the plates and forks, "Want to grab the wine?"

Paro followed after the man quickly as if afraid if he lost sight of him this would all be just a dream he would wake from. When asked to fetch the wine he nodded his head and did as required. "I will ..g..get your glass ." He offered as he used his wings to give him the extra height needed.

Carys gave him a smile, "Thank you." He murmured, once Paro had the glasses and the bottle of wine he lead the way out onto the balcony, setting everything he was carrying down on the glass topped table that was out there. With it were two chairs and a few random house plants sitting here and there on the space.

Paro moved outside and breathed the night air. he gave a bit of a shiver, his clothes..dammit the fabric was always so sheer and thin. But..he could live with it. besides...he got his first...second..and other kisses with Carys this evening. He felt ...really happy. He poured move wine into the glasses offering Carys his first.

Carys gave a smile as he dished up the brownies, putting a big piece on each plate and then set the place meant for Paro next to the Fae's glass, "Thank you." he said when Paro was kind enough to fill his glass for him.

Beaming at the thanks he took a brownie and literally shoved it in his mouth. His eyes went wide and then watery with bliss as he chewed the...rather large mouthful slowly savoring the taste. It took him a while to swallow but it was done in such a fashion that he didn't gulp it down.
"Chaa! That was soooo good!" he nearly purred as he then took his own wine glass and swirled the contents moment before sipping.

Carys had paused in eating his dessert to watch the Fae as he gulped his down, seeming to be enjoying it a great deal from the looks of him. Carys of just that, he felt his heart skip a beat in excitement, "I am glad that you like it." He murmured, sounding a little bit breathless from happiness.

Paro nodded his head almost like he was drunk off of the brownie rather than the wine. "With brownies like that I would eat them off of anything..." he murmured in bliss, his eyes sinking half closed a smile on his lips, he drew his legs up to his chest as he leaned his head onto his knees. He was still looking at the half dragon as is bemused. "...even a strong dragon."

Carys nearly choked on the bite of brownie in his mouth, looking at him with wide eyes... then gave a bit of a grin. There was a tempting offer he thought to himself then had to tell himself to behave. He finished off his brownie and then his wine in attempt to cook himself off feeling warmer then he should... not that the wine seemed to help at all.

Paro let his wings spread out in a lazy fashion, he looked...tired, and flushed nearly fever like. The wings flapped lazily ...sending a shower of sparkly dust into the air. He gave a giggling sound as he watched Carys eat.

Carys looked the Fae over as he finished off all that he could eat from the brownies then gave a smile, "You look a bit tired." Maybe a little bit sugar and wine drunk as well he thought trying not to chuckle at that.

Paro giggled more his hands coming to cover his lips as if he could contain the giggles and prevent them from escaping.

".N.not. rea..really. J..just...y.ou know...thin.thinking.." He continued in a coy fashion. Wine..+ sugar...was probably not the best combination for this fae. It made him...very drunk. very fast and he was going to feel it in the morning.

Carys gave a nod though he would be sure to watch after him none the less, they were to high up for him not to be careful about the Fae. He lifted piled up the plates forks and set them and the remaining brownies aside. He seemed quite content with watching Paroparo for the moment. He was to adorable for his own good and the sort of drunken flush added to it.

Paro offered another giggle fit before he watched Carys move the plates he then flapped his wings again lazily. "Hmm...ca..can you fly Carys?" he inquired , the man was half dragon after all...he never had the courage before to ask about his other half...maybe now was a good time to find out.

"Sadly no, I used to think that it must be something interesting to be able to do." He'd seen his father do it a few times, watching him as he left the ground and was a bit envious of him and that ability that he lacked. He tilted his head as he looked the Fae's wings over, "Your wings are amazing..." If they were a gem he would have already made off with it, hiding it away in his room of precious treasures... He shoved the very draconic thought aside and gave a grin, the one the wings were attached to was much more interesting then just a gem he thought.

The Morning After: Part One

(( Paroparo belongs to Jayoku, RP done on MSN ))

Carys was rather lucky it was one of his days off as it was quite late at the moment, the dark curtains were drawn to keep out most light aside from a sliver of it that slipped in between the curtains. The room was a bit of a mess, pillows tossed here and there, blankets half off the bed but the pair that were sleeping on the king sized bed seemed to be content enough. The numbers on the clock, glowing a dull red, proclaimed that it was already afternoon even though the pair seemed not to care at the moment.

Carys was laying on his stomach, sprawled out with one arm wrapped about Paro's waist is a lazy but affectionate manner, one could almost see a smile on his lips as well, whatever he was dreaming seeming to be a pleasant memory. Where the sliver of light ran across it reflected off the golden scales that ran along his arms, up his back, and across his hips, markings of what he really was that were normally hidden by his clothing.

The room was comfortable feeling, everything just as expensive looking as the rest of the apartment, the sheets silk and the blankets a soft, rich sort of cloth all of it black with golden trim. It was Carys's room, where he slept and was most content and as such it was among the nicest rooms in the house which was saying something.

Though the night had been...rather exuberant for the both of them, little Paro the strange little Fae had found himself bedding with a dragon..well half dragon anyway. A slow smile painted itself across his face he was waking up slowly, he didn't really want his dream to end...as the night had felt like that...all a great dream. But now he awoke blinking lazily at the light that filtered through the room , he felt pressure around his waiste and then he looked down his face flushing slightly as he noticed that Carys had an arm wrapped around him rather protectively.

Afraid to move, he didn't want to wake him, instead he stared as the light glittered across the half dragons scaled back.. It was...possible the most frightening and most beautiful sight he had experienced. Mostly due to the fact it reminded him that...yes he had just...bedded down with a dragon...something he had been terrified of before and still felt a surge of fear on occasion but now he very carefully and very gently went to brush a finger top along one of those golden scales. He held his breath waiting for some sort of rage to erupt from beside him. But he couldn't resist.

Carys's form shifted a bit as though the half dragon felt the Fae as he started to wake and the smile on his lips widened at the feeling of a finger moving along his scales, it took him a long while before his eyes fluttered and then slowly opened. He felt a bit of an ache in his head not at all used to drinking and especially not as much as he'd had last night.... he blinked a couple times when he realized that having someone touching his scales wasn't a dream at all... it was Paro.

He gave a bit of a grin as bits and pieces of what had transpired the night before came back to him, well now that was a little surprising he thought to himself, "Mmm... morning." He murmured to his bed mate.

Paro withdrew his hand hastily as if he had been touching something much too precious and that his little finger had soiled it. He gave a small smile in response to Carys's greeting. His head didn't really hurt much at all. For being a light weight he had suffered more from his sugar binges.

"Wakey wakey?" He murmured softly as he fidgeted with the sheet in his hand before realizing it was silk and hastily dropped it. He felt like a elephant in a china shop. Everything was so precious and important to Carys...and he had been allowed in here... He tried not to let the aww surface on his face but he was always a bad lair.

"Mmmm, do I have to?" He asked, giving a bit of a yawn before he sat up the blanket that was tossed half over the pair of them falling down into his lap. He stretched his arms up over his head giving a bit of a groan, he was feeling quite good. Normally he didn't wake up up feeling so good, normally he woke up in a rush, having to rush off to work. This was quite nice he thought as he lowered his arms back down.

Paro watched much like a starstruck person may, he had never really seen Carys with his shirt off until the previous evening but he had also been a little distracted to appreciate it. Carys was toned, and beautiful, he always knew Carys was handsome even pretty, but now it was just a bit overpowering. He felt a little insecure about himself He barely made the half dragons chest in height.

"I...suppose you d..don't." He stuttered a bit swallowing feeling very much like he was suffocating in all this luxury. "I....know I should make you breakfast! you must be starving!" He rushed finding a good excuse to leave the room and gather his wit.

Carys gave a grin, putting his hands on the bed so he could lean forward to steal a kiss from the Fae, "Are you feeling up to that?" He asked, sounding a little concerned over the idea of the Fae having to get up already... and making Paro make their breakfast didn't seem very nice either since they were at his place, "Mmmm... if we are gonna have breakfast in as host I should probably help out."

Paro was ...not expecting it. As his lips touched his he felt his body quiver. All his ..courage from the night before was due to the alcohol. Now he felt a bit more fragile than before, but still...out of instinct he reached out to twist a bit of Carys's dark hair with his finger. He said nothing for a moment just gazed at Carys until he realized he was staring. He tore his face away his face going red.

"Ah...no..y..you made..d..dinner..af..after all." He stuttered feeling the urge to want to kiss him back nearly suffocating.

The half dragon gave a little smile, "If your sure don't mind." He said lifting a hand up, brushing his hair out of his eyes and looked around his room... a bit of a mess he realized then gave a bit of a grin. He turned back to Paro, looking him up and down then asked, "Do you want to look in my dresser, see if there is something that you'd like to wear?" He asked as he didn't see Paro's own clothing off hand, he'd have to look for it when he was neatening up the room.

Chewing on his lower lip, his eyes scanned the room quickly wondering if...they had been hiding on him on purpose. It was a bit embarrassing...but he wouldn't go cook naked.
"Ah...I ..don't think anything ..of yours would fit.." he muttered a bit as he shifted somewhat to adjust his leg that was falling asleep and then angle him a bit closer. He realized he didn't really want to to leave the room...or have Carys move away from him. Such conflicting desires made him very confused. But he still sidled up closer inching his way to the half dragon.

The half dragon gave a smile, "I think that would make it that much nicer though, don't you?" He seemed from the look on his face to be daydreaming for a moment over the idea of Paro walking around in one of his shirts, that seemed to be what lovers on the television did. He blinked a couple times when he realized where his mind had wandered then pulled the Fae closer to him, nuzzling against his shoulder.

While having Paro walking around in his shirt cooking for him was one nice option having him just stay right were he was was just as good to Carys.

Paro now crushed well perhaps crushed was not the right word but pressed into Carys the fae gave a bit of a squeak. Sure he had been working his way to that goal anyway but he had been taken a bit by surprise. After a moment of stiffness he then relaxed and closed his eyes. Ura would be jealous.

His eyes flew open. Oh god...he had to go home eventually to face his brother. Not good. Maybe if begged Carys would let him stay with him for the next couple of days...no months..even years. The idea of having to face his brother was ...not something he really wanted to experience. He wanted to swear but he had never sworn in his life. Instead he just stiffened and then buried his head into Carys shoulder.

Carys blinked a couple times as the Fae stiffened in his arms and then hid his face causing the dragon a moment of worry, "Hey... you alright Paroparo?" He murmured against his ear, his worry showing in his voice. He wondered if maybe the boy wasn't feeling well now that they had woke up and everything that had happened under the influence of what the drinks they had was very obvious... he felt his heart skip a beat at the thought that he might not be happy with what had happened... while it was a little startling to Carys due to it being so fast it wasn't something he saw as a bad thing but what about what the Fae thought? He did his best not to fret though, wanting to take care of Paro first instead of his own worries.

He groaned against Carys shoulder, limp like a rag doll. He almost wish Carys HAD eaten him. Turned into a giant dragon and consumed him. He would never hear the end of it from his brother.

"....Its...Ura.." He mumbled into that solid flesh, "My brother....." he continued to explain where this was all coming from. "I...will never...hear the end of this..." He pulled away a bit and looked up Carys with wide eyes. "Are you sure you can't just...eat me or something? it would be a less far worse fate than going home to face my brother." He pleaded.

The Morning After: Part Three

(( Paroparo belongs to Jayoku, RP done on MSN ))

Paro had tensed a moment, he had hoped they would move past the subject so he wouldn't be....thinking about it. His ears wilted a bit as he thoughts on Carys's words.
"Ura...isn't...like most fae. He....doesn't flit around or leave when bored, he is...constant ..he had always been with me...the only sibling I actually know and care about...but...he is a bit cynical, and snide. Perhaps a bit overprotective." that word didn't even seem strong enough to discribe him. "Its...mostly the teasing. He loves to torture me with it..." He sighed.

The half dragon listened to his description and tried not to bristle, he didn't like the sound of this 'Ura' person that he was talking about... he sounded like someone that he would rather not deal with if he had to but as he was Paro's brother he had the feeling they would run across him at some point, "Maybe... I should meet him? To let him know that I am not going to eat you or hurt you in a way that a more dangerous type of dragon might."

Paro gave a muffled sigh as he covered his face with the sleeve. "Its...not...that...I mean he ..is concerned...but..I am...more afraid of...the comments. He will try to egg you on...and prove you are dangerous. " He muttered. Ura hadn't really liked the idea of him dating a half dragon at all.

"I will need to face him eventually... and I doubt that we will be able to become serious if we try to avoid our families completely." He told the Fae, finding himself wondering what Ura would say to egg him on... he could only imagine really, no real way to know without facing off with him. As for dangerous he couldn't say that he really was all that scary though that was just his opinion of himself which didn't count.

The idea...of meeting Carys family...froze him. Sure...he was ..comfortable for the most part when he was with Carys. Not to say he didn't panic a lot and frequently but ...it wasn't as bad as meeting a full fledged dragon. He thought he might die of a heart attack right then and there. "...y..your parents?" He whispered.

"I am sure at least my Mother would be interested in meeting you." He said, he wasn't so sure about his Father, "As for my Father... he's rather busy so I don't know about him." He decided he would put it nicely instead of telling the Fae that it wasn't exactly likely that his father would want to meet up with Carys let alone meet with Carys's lover.

He felt relieved but sensed...something amiss when Carys spoke about his father. He didn't personally know his mother and father....but that was natural among Fae. They bred and then left. He peered at him wondering if he was worried about his father wanting to eat him or something more.

"Oh...uh...well...you...your mother is human yes?" he inquired hopeful.

He gave a nod, "Yes, my mother is human and she is very gentle so you needn't worry about her at all." He assured him. He could only imagine what she would think about her boy finally finding someone... she would probably huge Paro and fuss over him, tell him all sorts of embarrassing to Carys stories about when he was younger... all the normal 'mom things' that she seemed a fan of doing.

Human. Good. Paro could deal with human he relaxed further maybe he wouldn't have to meet his dad after all. Leaning into Carys he stifled another yawn the neck of the shirt slipping to reveal his bare shoulder innocently. "You still up for meeting my brother?" He asked his tone a bit teasing.

Carys was happy when Paro seemed to perk up again and he gave a little nod of his head, eyes on that shoulder that was currently bared to his gaze, "I will do my best to get along with him." He said, for the Fae he would try to behave no matter what his brother said. He lowered his head to press a kiss to Paro's shoulder before he laid back, letting the two of them lounge on the bed once again.
