So Come And Catch Me [ Complacent / Dimitri ]

[Dimitri]

To tell the truth, lying down for an hour hadn't made Alistair any calmer. It just forced him to think of negative things even more, as he had nothing better to do. His body was still tense despite him having been attempting to relax, and he was so lost in thoughts that he barely noticed Ryuichi's arrival. Only when he felt the bed move a little and he glanced up, did he finally spot the Werewolf. Hearing his question, he frowned and moved his eyes to the ceiling again. "Nothing."

However, he looked back at the boy; what he was eating sparked Alistair's curiosity, though he tried to hide it. It didn't even have a specific smell like the rest of things he'd normally eat, and that made the albino even more fascinated. "What's that?" he asked finally, rising himself to a sitting position and staring at the item in Ryuichi's hands. He had seen similar things in human shops and TV adverts, but he never bothered to look properly, so he had no idea what it was.

Ryuichi grinned, happy that the vampire was now doing something other than sulking somewhere. He put the spoon back into the tub, taking a scoop and then putting it in his mouth. He couldn't help but notice the curious glint in A "It's ice cream." He dipped the spoon back into the tub before offering the vampire the spoon, "You want some? It's cookie dough flavored, my favorite." He tilted his head at the vampire while he waited for him to react, he wasn't entirely sure if he'd accept the offer. From what Ryucihi had seen, he didn't particularly like the food that he ate. But then again, this was ice cream, and who didn't like the taste of ice cream?

[ooc: lol, sorry it's so short. Wasn't sure what to include.]

[Dimitri]

[ ooc; no that's okay, i understand i'm not being entirely helpful either haha ]

"Ice cream?" Alistair asked in surprise, giving the spoon a suspicious look. "So it's ice.. as cream?" the teen took the spoon from Ryuichi and gave the 'ice cream' a careful inspection, visual-wise. "And what's cookie... daough? Daw? Dow? Whatever it was you said," he added questioningly.

He still didn't trust that ice cream thing. He decided to give it a tentative lick, scooping some up with his tongue and tasting it that way. It was cold, but it melted in his mouth almost instantly and it had an odd flavour. Kind of sweet, but, uh... creamy. Alistair paused, wondering whether he liked it or not, before giving the spoon back to the werewolf, leaving a bit of ice cream still there. "It's kinda good," he said quietly, shrugging, partly hoping he wasn't heard. Admitting he liked human things didn't exactly come easily to him.

The albino then stretched, and sighed, hiding his face in his hands for a moment. It seemed it was back to sulking for him. Removing his hands, he moved his legs over to the edge of the bed, staring at the floor. "I think I better go hunt," he announced. Better to do it now than later, or else he risked running out of time and going thirsty, which wouldn't be an advantage to anyone. He really didn't feel like it though, and didn't move from his place.

[complacent]

"Oh... well, I think it's more of a cream as ice.." He trailed off, tilting his head to the side. He wasn't sure. He didn't really know how ice cream was made and hadn't really tried to find out. He only bought it, ate it, bought it, ate it and so forth. Ryuichi couldn't help but grin when the vampire didn't flat out reject the ice cream after he tasted it.

"You can have some more, if you want, you know." He had expected him to and it was quite a pleasant surprise when the he kind of accepted it. He couldn't help but be surprised that he had never tried cookie dough before or had ice cream; in Ryuichi's opinion, he was seriously missing out. He put the spoon back into his mouth, lapping up the rest of the ice cream.

"Oh, okay. Go, if you want." He shrugged, acting as if he didn't care, however, there was disappointment evident in his tone - not that he realized it. Or would admit that he was a bit disappointed. Why should he care that the vampire was going off somewhere? It wasn't for some strange reason. No, he would just be bored if he was stuck in the house all day. Yep. He arched a brow when he noticed that Alistair didn't move from his spot, despite claiming that he needed to go hunting. However, he said nothing, merely continuing to eat the ice cream, a few contented sighs escaping his mouth as he did so.

[ooc: should we fast forward or? o.o ]

[Dimitri]

[ ooc; hmm, not yet, I really don't feel like typing fights lol XD; unless you want to, then that's fine~ ]

Alistair hesitated, wondering if he should go hunting. Or if he should stay. Or maybe neither. He glanced at the time; it was almost twelve. He wasn't sure how they were supposed to meet up with the pack, or when exactly, but if it was the evening, then it seemed like he had at least six more hours to kill. The albino turned his gaze towards Ryuichi. "What are you going to do? Watch something again?" he asked, raising his eyebrows. Alistair didn't mind a film every now and then, but the TV everyday wasn't something he'd look forward to.

"You said you want to chill, didn't you?" he added after a moment, recalling what the teenager said previously. "Would going out for a while tire you out so much? Because I don't feel like staying here, and, well," he paused awkwardly, looking away from the boy. "I don't want to be alone." There, he said it. Alistair still didn't look at Ryuichi, remaining silent as he awaited an answer.

[ ooc; shall we, hm, make something happen between them? to give Alex a reason to get all crazy jealous again? o: ]

[complacent]

"Oh? Okay, sure, let's go!" Ryuichi nodded eagerly, feeling slightly complimented when the boy said he didn't want to be alone. He was actually him to go somewhere with him, for once. Ryuichi was usually the one pestering him to go somewhere, it was a nice change. Not that he expected Alistair to do it again. "Give me a second." He mumbled, before jumping off the bed and scurrying towards the fridge, placing the ice cream tub back into the freezer once he got there.

"Where were you thinking of going? He asked as he slipped a jacket on over his shirt. He was quite eager to go outside, he liked fresh air and this place was starting to get stuffy with all the takeaway he had left around and dirty dishes he refused to wash. He'd get to it... eventually. He was just to uh - busy to do it at the moment. Yes, he wasn't avoiding it or procrastinating. No, he was just very busy. Very, very busy.

Ryuichi pushed open the door, inhaling the fresh air once he stepped outside before he began walking towards the door leading out of the building. He wasn't the type who liked the indoors, if he stayed inside for too long, he tended to grow restless.

[Dimitri]

Alistair followed Ryuichi outside, inhaling the fresh air again. "I dunno, anywhere," he shrugged as he looked around. He still wasn't familiar with the area, so he didn't know if there were any interesting places around to see. "Park? Mall? Whatever you prefer," Alistair really didn't mind going anywhere, as long as he got to go somewhere. Somewhere with Ryuichi, of course. Not that he'd ever say that, but the boy's company really did lift his spirits - only a little. A tiny bit. Mhm.

[ ooc; so short, uwah.. I can't think of anything else D: ]

[complacent]

Ryuichi nodded, pondering over where to go before deciding on the park; it was currently a Saturday so the mall would be pretty busy and he didn't particularly want to deal with the hustle and bustle of people. Plus, he loved the park and his friends didn't really hang out there. He didn't particularly want to bump into them and deal with all the questions involving why he had disappeared and how come he was suddenly hanging out with Alistair, of all people. He didn't want to explain everything .. and even though he wouldn't admit, he didn't want anyone to interrupt his time with Alistair. He was pretty sure that after they got their parents back, Alistair would ignore him and they wouldn't talk to each other anymore. They wouldn't have a reason to talk anymore, after all.

"To the park it is." He decided aloud before walking to the left, towards the park. Once they arrived, he glanced around, seeing who was around. There were children with there parents and pets here and there, a few teenagers and a couple of elderly people out for a walk. No one he knew. His eyes widened and he bit his lip when he noticed a man selling cotton candy near the fountain in the middle of the park. His hand went to his pocket and he couldn't help but frown slightly when he realized that he brought his wallet. His eyes flickered over to the vampire and he got an idea. He'd be nice enough to buy him it, right?

"Hey, Alistair," He drew out the vampire's name, his tone hopeful. He looked up at the vampire through his long lashes before sticking out his bottom lip, using his infamous puppy-dog look. "Can you buy me some cotton candy please?" He asked, his tone soft, sounding like a small child asking for something he didn't think he was going to get. He was one at heart, after all.

[Dimitri]

Hearing Ryuichi say his name that way, Alistair knew something was up. At first he didn't look at the boy, simply awaiting to hear what it was he wanted, and only when the Werewolf requested him to buy cotton candy, he couldn't help but chuckle and glance over at him. That was a mistake.

There it was again. The puppy face. And usually, puppy faces never worked on Alistair. Usually. Because as always, things just had to be different with Ryuichi. And not only was it working well, it was working too good. Alistair knew he should have turned his gaze away and say something like 'sure, pup', or even 'no way', and just not look at the boy's face again, but he couldn't. Because he found himself turning towards Ryuichi instead; he just looked so... cute. Adorable. Tempting. The albino wasn't entirely sure what he was doing anymore, and since thinking in those situations most often didn't help, he decided to follow his instinct.

"I would buy it for you," he murmured, leaning down closer to the boy's face. "But..." he suddenly felt Ryuichi's chin under his fingers, and their noses were about to touch, but then Alistair tilted his head to the right and instead, their lips met. Ryuichi's lips felt soft against his, and for a moment, Alistair didn't want to pull away, he wanted to continue the kiss, to hold Ryuichi close and not let him escape. Because something felt right about this, felt good, and he felt as if he had butterflies in his stomach. And then his thoughts came back and he realized what was going on.

It couldn't last longer than a few seconds, but for him, it felt like ages before he pulled away, dropping his hand. Alistair didn't even realize he closed his eyes until he re-opened them now, to look into Ryuichi's eyes uncertainly. He couldn't even think, or question what he had just done. All he could do... was stare silently.

[complacent]

One second Ryuichi was asking Alistair to buy him cotton candy and the next, Alistair's lips were against his own. What? He had been frozen stiff, his green eyes wide in the beginning, however, he found himself closing them towards the end of it. As soon as it was over though, his eyes snapped back open, shock written all over his features. How was this possible? He had thought that the vampire was disgusted by the mere thought of him, and he had thought he was straight as an arrow. So, why on earth had he kissed him? Once the vampire had pulled away, staring at him uncertainly, Ryuichi's hand went to his lips, his face turning a bright red. His heart was going at a mile a minute, he couldn't believe this.

"Why did you do that?" He was confused. And he was scared. Scared because he had actually enjoyed it, but why? This was Alistair, the vampire, for gods sake. How could he have liked kissing him? Why was his heart beating so hard that he could hear it in ears? He hoped to god that the vampire couldn't hear it; that would just be embarrassing. And why had it felt so right? Why had he actually wanted to continue the kiss? Why? Ryuichi stared at the vampire, his feelings evident on his face. Why had he done that? Was he toying with him? He couldn't possibly have done it because he liked him, that was just preposterous. He wanted to ask him, but he didn't dare, afraid the vampire would bite his head off if he brought up the topic.

Ryuichi stared at Alistair's face, hoping to find some answers to his questions but to no avail. He looked as uncertain as Ryuichi felt. "I don't understand." He murmured, his eyes still on the vampire's face. God, he was so confused.
