It's the weekend! Time to poke at the musies!

[fangsandscones]

[He takes his time, though he probably doesn't mean to speak at all unless prompted. It's just the way the Vampire is and so he hardly minds it as his Mun starts to fidget in anticipation for him to communicate verbally. Instead, he continues to look on calmly, almost blankly, as he stands in silent, preternatural stillness. Finally, after a long period spent just staring back at his Mun, he finally decides to talk, his voice low and a bit hoarse from lack of use.]

...I've got nothing to say. And neither does that other one you're keen on bothering at the moment.

[He stops. He's done, but his Mun's attention doesn't waver. The vampire just continues to stare back, unblinking, silent.]

[This can go on for a while...]

[ Staring is rude, vampire. Didn't they teach you that in Vampire Etiquette 101? Gosh, how did you ever persuade humans into opening a vein for you? ]

Nothing at all, huh?

[fangsandscones]

[You would be surprised.]

[The Hunter appearing catches his attention, of course, and he turns his gaze to him. He regards him quietly and seems to think about it for a while. Is there something that he needs to say right then?]

[chainsawsandburgers]

A "hello" would be nice.

[ He supplies an answer as though reading the vampire's mind. He hasn't, since such power isn't a part of his abilities, but perhaps he senses the unspoken question by how Arthur looks at him, in that sort of way that's too eerily keen and too perceptive to be normal. ]

You were more talkative the first time we met, cute face.

[fangsandscones]

...We also didn't get along as well. [He tells the Hunter after a while as he comes closer. It's true, he was much more talkative then and that's something that has changed. Quietly, he hopes that doesn't make the Hunter decide otherwise that he doesn't want him anymore.]

[Arthur stands before Alfred then carefully takes his hand, meeting the Hunter's gaze unabashedly.]

Hello.

[chainsawsandburgers]

That's an exaggeration. I liked you plenty. You didn't like me calling you "cute".

[ It's hard to say for the moment how the vampire's decreased talkative nature will pan out for their... relationship, but so far, Alfred seems to be handling it fairly well. He smiles at least when the older blonde slips his hand into his and he laces their fingers together intimately. ]

Hello to you too.

[fangsandscones]

[Predictably, the Hunter gets a bit of a frown, eyes narrowing, eyebrows lifting, the line of the Vampire's lips turning down slightly.]

I still say I'm not as cute as you think I am...

[But he doesn't let go of Alfred' hand despite his disagreement with the other blond's opinion of his appearance.]

[chainsawsandburgers]

[ Also predictably, Alfred's smile turns into a grin. ]

That's because you're a vampire— no reflection, right? You probably don't remember how you look!

[fangsandscones]

Slight and weak of build, girlish features paired with humongous eyebrows. [He talks as if he is quoting someone else, someone harsh and meaning to hurt. The Vampire states the information as if it's fact, however. It probably means he's come to believe such a description.] I remember quite well.

[chainsawsandburgers]

[ Alfred looks dismayed by the answer, but more than the words, the vampire's tone and unblinking casualness when he repeats the description of himself confuses him. ]

You're not that small. You're only a few inches shorter than me! And you forgot a lot of stuff. Like... green eyes...

[ And that's about as far as he gets because voicing in detail all the things he finds attractive about Arthur is embarrassing for him. The list has gotten a little bit longer since they've been spending some more, ah, intimate time together and he doesn't want to sound like a total sap. Hell, just thinking about how pretty he thinks the vampire's lips are makes his face flush red. He wisely tries to communicate what he thinks by leaning in close and kissing one of those noble, sharp cheekbones instead. ]

[fangsandscones]

[Unfortunately for the Hunter, his Vampire has grown used to paying attention to the changes in his so-called special other. He doesn't miss the flush or how his body temperature seems to be warmer, especially after being kissed even if it's only on the cheek.]

[Those green eyes look up to meet Alfred's own blue gaze. His hold then on Alfred's hand slacks a little but only so he can gently, fondly brush his thumb over the other's.]

You like my eyes?

[The words are carefully formed into a quiet, curious question. He doesn't want Alfred to think that he's toying with him or making fun of him. It's a pleasure for him, however, to watch his usually confident Hunter softening in lovely, boyish embarrassment. Now who looks cute?]

[chainsawsandburgers]

[ Certainly not him, nope! But Alfred continues to blush slightly and trip over his words. He tries not to stare at the vampire, but he really can't help himself when he's just right there and close and looking at him like he is and how he holds hands with him... This is hardly fair to him. ]

No! I mean— that is, yeah, er... They're really... uh, green.

[ Wow, he feels ridiculous. If only he knew more Shakespeare or something! As it is, all he's got is Elton John and he definitely can't sing, so.

Another kiss to the cheek it is. ]

[fangsandscones]

[It's all quite inexplicably sweet, whatever it is they have right now. Arthur almost curses himself when he feels his cheeks warming in a telltale blush like the other usually causes him to do. Alfred had mentioned spending time together and they are doing that and more, but somehow, it's made quite clear now that perhaps there is more to what they have here than just passing time. The Vampire doesn't really know how he feels about that.]

I...Suppose they are... [He hears himself answering softly, his gaze averting from the Hunter's though he's still very much aware of his warm closeness. Uncertain he may be, he doesn't let go of the Hunter's hand and even tangles their fingers more closely together. No, he doesn't find this closeness displeasing at all. Confusing, a bit worrying maybe, but not displeasing.]
