He had half forgotten about that little phrase he had told Mizuki back then. Really the fact he was talking about training and then bringing that up worried him a little. His ears dropped back before he some spoke. "well those words came back to bite me..." He want sure what Mizuki hadin mind but he wasnt sure he wanted to know either.

Mizuki smiled at that and lightly bit Thalions right arm that still rested beside his head "Hmmmm I dont forget many things" Mizuki said slightly "And for something that would allow me to have you where ever I want...and when ever I want..." Mizuki began with a smile as he licked his upper lip with half lidded eyes "I couldnt forget something like that..." He said with a little shake of his head. With that Mizuki leaned up and kissed the male above him.

Mizuki kissed Thalion with passion, he was about to take it ferther when Radens door opened and Neimi stepped out closing the door behind her "Oh holy goddess cant I leave the two of you alone for more then 20 minutes before you start groping each other?" She said looking over to the couch and the placement of each male.

At that Mizuki could not help the playfull growl he had as he wrapped one leg around Thalions lower waste so the heel of his foot rested within the small of the younger males back forcing his hips down "Nope" Mizuki said to the females comment before he saw the glare that Thalion gave him and Mizuki laughed. It was the first time in a long time but he laughed full force.

He laughed weakly listening to him. "I had forgotten I said it even.. geese.. " He was a bit worried now, Mizuki seemed to have some sort of a evil plan in his head and whatever it was he doubted it'd end well for him. Ok well it would in a way but not at the same time.

His ears where back a little when Neimi walked out, he had heard the door long before she walked out. Let alone her comment made him notice this did look rather bad. Not that he cared that much, this was his house.. Though he didn't get too much of a thought in as Mizuki seemed to force him down. Thalion wasn't expecting that as he felt his cheeks get hot suddenly, though Mizuki as laughing so he hoped he wouldn't notice.

"Well I was just getting up anyway.. Seeing as Mizuki avoids meals.. I'm making sure he eats at least one.." he shot the other a glare before trying to move, though he wasn't sure if Mizuki was going to let him and in this position he couldn't force him off like he normally could.

Mizuki smiled as his laughter diead looking to Thalion "Well now that you mention it I am kinda hungry" He said slightly "The hearbs are wearing off now..." When he got a look from Thalion he explained further "Traveling herbs from my trip...they last a week and I took it face days before I came home" He said slightly 'They allow me to build muscle with out eating and they also give energy and nutrients" He said with a nod.

When Mizuki told Thalion that he knew everything there was to herbs it was true. He could heal, hurt, and even kill anything with herbs. He was good in that way. Mizuki then moved his leg allowing Thalion to get up and move. Mizuki then sat up and gave a pout to Neimi "Kill joy" He said slightly and she huffed "I swear you to need to move into that other room if I have to keep seeing that" She said before walking over and sitting on the empty part of the couch.

He rolled his eyes a little listening to him. "I'll keep to eating real food thank you.. you can build muscle with out eating just leaves.. " The idea was a little disturbing to him really, but whatever Mizuki wanted to do. He Moved to get off of Mizuki Leaving him to his own once more. Though Neimi shot him a glare and he gave her a sort of 'what'd i do' look before moving to the kitchen.

"Besides if I left you two alone long enough I think you'd kill each other.. and I don't mean in the painful way." she frowned a little at the thought. "you two should at least wait till no ones home.. geese.. no wonder Raden's refusing to leave his room.."

Mizuki frownd a little as he moved back into his seat. Mizuki sat thee and growled a little at Neimi when she spoke about why Raden didnt want to leave. Mizuki then moved side ways and curled into the couch holding his sore hands in his lap. If he was going to eat somethin he should not be moving them right now.

Mizuki laid his head on the back of the couch and watched Thalion as he moved about the kitchen like area. Soon though his eyes drifted to half mass until they closed. He wasnt sleeping just relaxing hearing what was happening around him his ears twitching slightly o parts of the conversation.

"oh i was teasing" she said to Mizuki's growl before getting up from the sofa. "though he won't leave his room.. it has to be a guy thing.. he's stubborn like the both of you" she said making a slight gesture towards Mizuki then to Thalion. She sighed afterwards.

"Stop worrying him, he'll come out when he's ready to." Thalion said with a slight shrug, though he was paying more attention to the food preparation then anything. "besides if he wants to eat he'll have to come out.." Raden could hear most of the conversation through the door though he didn't want to really.

Mizuki sat there for a while before he opened his eyes. The smell of what Thalion was making reached his nose and his stomach growled. It smelt so good to him. Blinking slightly he moved and cracked his neck with a sigh beofre sitting forward a little "Neimi..." He said before the female looked to him "Mind helping me with something?" He asked slightly and this got a stare from her "What...I can ask for help to you know"

Neimi smiled "Sure what can I do for you?" She asked walking over "Could you braid and tie my hair...I cant at the moment" He said looking down to his hands. Neimi smiled before grabbed a brush and tie off the bed from Mizukis dumped stuff. Walking over she stood behind him on the couch and pulled his hair over the back of it.

Mizukis air hung low and brushed the ground below with sweeping strands as Neimi brushed it. Mizuki closed his eyes and rested back his head with a little sigh. It felt good, it was calm and relaxing almost putting him to sleep...then she began to pull on it to braid it. Well that was short lived.

Thalion had looked up for a moment before shaking his head watching this odd sight. "now I'm reminded why i keep my hair short.. " like hell he'd go through the hassle of brushing and taking care of that mess daily. He was expecting a comment from Mizuki though the poor guy seemed to wince in pain a little as Neimi tried to not hurt him the best she could.

Testing the pot once more he sighed a little before walking over to a wall near the kitchen and leaning against it. "shouldn't be much longer.. needs a little longer to draw the rest of the flavors out.." he was more of talking to himself then anyone else though he still spoke aloud.

Mizuki sighed slightly until she finished lightly tossing the long braid over his shoulder to rest seated on his chest to dangel in his lap "Yea I have my reasons why my hair is as long as it is...." Mizuki said before moving to sit better. He didnt go more into the conversation then just that. "What ever it is over there it smells good" Mizuki said sniffening the air looking to Thalion with a smile on his face.

"Well you can have it" he waved a hand towards Mizuki, not that he minded the other having long hair, but he saw it as a hassle over all. Though to each his own he guessed. He gave Mizuki a odd look when he spoke again. "you've had it before.. I just figured a few tricks to make it taste better this time around.." He shrugged a little as he spoke. He had a year to improve, so why wouldn't he improve.

Mizuki smiled at that before getting up and walking around the couch over to Thalion "Im sure I have...but I cant compliment you?" he asked a little before sneaking a quick kiss to Thalions cheek before going off to the bathing room. After a short while Mizuki came out of the bathroom before giving a quick tap to Radens door with his elbow "Supper" Was all he said before he left going back to the main room.

When he got there Thalion was dishing food onto dishes and Neimi help him. Moving to the bed Mizuki sat down before moving back carefull of his hands to rest his back against the wall.

"eh.. you can, I got tired of Neimi complaining how bland my cooking was." He growled a little at Neimi who just smiled a little. "it worked out for the better.. heh" she squeaked out. Thalion shook his head a little "Should be happy your getting fed.." Or thats how he looked at it anyway.

Raden eventually came out of his room, though he looked a little worse for wear, probably still thinking on his thoughts more or less. "Took you long enough to crawl out here." Thalion said handing a bowl to the boy nearly meeting him at the door. He had already handed a bowl over to Mizuki and Neimi. Though Raden never said a word as he picked a spot to sit in and started eating slowly.

This was getting annoying he acted like Mizuki now.. Before he was acting like Thalion with his temper but it seemed he had traits of both oddly enough. then again maybe it was just a male thing, his pride had pretty much been shot down not too long ago.

Mizuki sat there with his bowl in his lap as he watched everyone eat. Thalion and Neimi were talking to each other both trying to get Raden to say something. Mizuki sighed a little to himself as he grabbed the spoon from his meal and held in a little hiss as he brought it to himself and ate it.

Thalion really had gotten better! Continuing with the slow process he ate as much as he could until a little hiss did escape his mouth with the next raise to his mouth. The bowl was a little over 1/4 empty and Mizuki placed his spoon back. He would sit and watch instead.

He sighed a little finally giving up on Raden as he took Neimi's bowl when she was done and walked back to the kitchen. Raden finally did seem to speak a little "Sorry .. about before." Though he mumbled it a little, it was still something at the least.

Neimi smiled weakly listening to him "see was that so hard?" Raden glared a little at her. "you don't have to say anything you know.." He did clash with Neimi at times but not like he did with Thalion or Mizuki, though that might be a male thing on it's own..

Mizuki was a little shocked when Raden spoke let allone when the words sorry hit his ears. Mizuki wanted to just say thank you but he knew that was the wrong thing for this so his eyes softened and his ears dipped back a little as he lowered his head a little to look at Raden "I am sorry as well" He said slightly before the comment from Neimi was made.

Mizuki shook his head a little at that. Those two could end up being very close though the thought was funny. Mizuki just sat there and watched as everything happened before the two young ones left for the night. Raden standing and leaving to his room with a simple "Night" behind him. Neimi the same with a more cheerfull manner.

Mizuki sighed slightly lowering his head. He still had the barely touched meal before him. It was and he was hungry just took alot of effort to eat. Mizuki picked up the utensil again and ate another mouth full with a pained little grunt.

He never said a word as all of this took place, Hell a few times him and Neimi had traded looks as if expecting the two to change their minds and go at one another again. Though it didn't seem that was to happen. Instead the mood seemed to stay relaxed, or rather as relaxed as it could between the conversation or trade off of words at hand.

After the other two had left for the night he sighed a little. Well maybe that was one less thing he had to worry about. Leaving the two in the same room and them killing one another. Though he still had a number of other worries to deal with before he could really relax any. Even pawning off part of the work onto the others he had appointed in charge was still straining. He would drop the training classes but anyone else trained enough to teach others was already busy with other forms of work, and truth was he had other work to do.

Though he had slacked off slightly with Mizuki returning, he'd have to catch up on it soon enough. He just hoped he had enough time to get all of the forces ready. He feared that the time they had was limited and that the East would strike soon enough. The odds weren't in their favor even with the addition of mages they were vastly out manned. Though most of the thoughts he kept to himself.

Mizuki sat there for a little while longer before he moved to get off of the bed. Walking to the kitchen he placed his barely touched bowl on the table before moving to stand infront of Thalion. The look on the other males face troubled him a little but he snapped the other male out of his thoughts "Come on...I know there is more work that you need to do" Mizuki said reaching a sore hand out to lightly place it on the males shoulder with a smile.

"I will come with you" He said softly before turning lightly to grab his cloak that lay on the back of the couch. Placing it on his shoulders and tieing it with some difficultly he turned to look at Thalion who was watching him. "Everything happens for a reason' He said with a smile "This war is far from over and I still have some tricks up my sleeve that you will soon learn in do time" Mizuki said with a smile.

With that he walked back over and stood infront of Thalion with a little smile on his face before he leaned in and kissed the male before him "Oh and I decided that your going to train me in hand to hand combat" He said with a smile and silenced the protest that Thalion began to give "Come on...a mage with long range and short range attacks...gives me the goose bumps" He said with a smile.

He was lost in though, there was too much going on even after a year of this he was still adjusting the best he could to being in charge of everything all at once. Before he did help quite a bit but now it was all falling back onto his shoulders and there wasn't really anyone else to put the work onto, not when he kept any of the other highly trained fighters busy making sure everything that needed preparing was done so correctly.

Though Mizuki's hand caused him to flinch as he looked at the other, rather curiously as to why he disturbed his thoughts. Though it was quickly answered. "Theres a few things.. nothing much I need to wait till tomorrow when your mages get here, before we go about making too many plans." More or less meaning he needed to see what he had to work with.

"You don't have to come with me for any thing i have to do, you should be resting anyway." he half scolded him a little knowing it'd hardly do any good. Aside from that Mizuki seemed to have his mind already made up as to going so fighting it was a waste. He sighed a little giving in to the other though the next words to escape his lips made him give Mizuki a odd look.

"It's not as easy as you think trust me, some of the weapons I don't think i could train you to wield in truth.. swords or staves should be possible.. " He seemed to be thinking on it a bit. "pole weapons are out of the question.. bow could work but what good is it to a mage.." He finally stopped muttering to himself as he looked back towards Mizuki. "I'll train you, but I promise your not getting any special treatment in the matter."

Mizuki looked to him "I dont want any special treatment as you so say..." He said almost affended. "And besides...sword I can use...arrow I already know how to use" He said slightly with a shrug of his shoulders "I just need to work more on the sword then anything" He said slightly "You watch...one day I will beat you in a little match" He said with a smirk.

"Oh...and I was thinking here" Mizuki said before leaning on the back of the couch and looking to the male before him "You know...if you really wanted to train these dogs into fighters I could take over your general duties for a little bit" He said "After all I was a general my self for a good 80 some years" He said with a little shrug of his shoulders.

He didn't mean to offend Mizuki by what he had said, he was just warning him that he was going to get equal if not worse treatment then the sorry excuses for trainees that he had to deal with. Though with the next thing Mizuki said he glared a little at him. "I have no issue with training the recruits.. i have more issues with the nine hundred other tasks then I do with training.. I half look forward to training each day rather then everything else."

He sighed a little before moving to walk out of the door and wait for Mizuki to follow seeing as the other seemed to want to come with him. What was it he still needed to do... check the supplies for starters.. check how the smiting went over the course of today.. medical ward, there were a few other odds and ends.

Mizuki didnt say anything to that and just fallowed after Thalion. Thats what he did the whole time they remained out. He was silent and only spoke when talked to. By the time that they got back home Mizuki was tired and sighed a little removing his cloak and going to sit on the bed. "Well...that was fun" He said sarcastically.

He glared at Mizuki a little before rolling his eyes. "oh yeah fun... tsk as fun as shooting yourself in the foot with a arrow i suppose.." He sighed heavily once he was done speaking, he had even more work to do tomorrow when the mages arrived. But at least tonight he managed to cover if they had supplies enough for the extra bodies that were going to be here. Why did he agree to this job again? In truth he wanted nothing better then to go back to how things were a few years ago, maybe even before that.. He wasn't bound to one place and no one relied on him.. well except Neimi. But it seemed those days were long gone unless he could train someone else to take his place .. but that was a ton of work on it's own, let alone who the hell he'd train for it.

Mizuki looked to Thalion with a serious expression. "So...let me be general" He said simply and before Thalion could say a word he cut him off at the sign of a protest "I mean it" He said "Just think about it. Who knows the east better then me? Who knows battle stratagies and the forces by heart?"

With that Mizuki stood and walkedm to where Thalion was standing "I know how to run tripple the troops and resores. I can show these troops some new stratagies that would royaly fuck east over" With that Mizuki raised his hand and placed it on Thalions cheek "Put your trust in me...train the trops let me do everything else"

Sure it wasn't something that hadn't crossed his mind already. It had even when Mizuki was gone he had considered it for when he came back. But it wasn't just that easy, there would be those who protest this no matter what happened. "I've thought about that already, we'd have a number of the groups to deal with in accepting a new general. Hell a few still try to rebel against my leading with tooth and nail." It certainly wouldn't be this damn hard if the groups would get along and work together for a change. "If you take command you know very well I'm going back to the front lines. I need to personally train any of the scouts so they don't go missing on us." He was taking this just as seriously, he knew Mizuki didn't want him out right off the bat with mere training but it needed to be done and between Thalion and one other that was the last of the experienced scouts they had left. "I'll deal with the groups I know will cause trouble, or at least the leaders." It worked off of pecking order if the leader was willing to follow the group wouldn't be a problem.

Mizuki nodded his head "I know there are alot that protest it but they will just have to deal with it" He said with a nod of his head "And as for you and the front lines..." Here Mizuki sighed "I dont like it in the slightest but I know it needs to be done" He said. In truth Mizuki knew that the east was going to strike soon..it was getting to that time so they needed all the help they could get.

Mizuki then took a step back "Everything will work out the way it should' He said "The fates are evil but kind all in one" With that he walked over to the bed and sat down before looking to Thalion once more "The mages will help but we need more troops to fight" He said slightly thinking. Then Mizukis eyes widened a little at a thought "What if I could get more fighters to?" He asked and cut Thalion off when he started to talk.

"I know of a camp of...rebels I guess you can say" He began "The leader of this group owes me a debt from something long ago" He said "As soon as the mages get here I will send one with a letter...its a far shot but it might work..."

He seemed to think over the idea of it. "it could work... if we're falling back on rebels I have a few strings I can pull.." He seemed to drop his sentence mid thought. "fate indeed.. i never thought I'd have to go crawling back to that damn place asking for help." He glared a little disliking the thought. Though he seemed to catch the question on Mizuki's face as to what he was talking about.

"I wasn't always on the West's side.. I started off as a piety thief to be honest." He shrugged a little he had skipped out on most of that story, it was the bandits fault his family was even killed but aside from that they never really once treated him wrong, or not in anyway he saw. "Long story short I'm still on good terms with the bandit lord of these lands, and that at least 300 strong if he sends words to all of the hideouts.. " It still didn't mean he looked forward to dealing with his past again though.

Mizuki looked to Thalion with a tender smile "Its something that needs to be done" He said "If thats 300 more that we can count on..." He said letting the conversation all but drop. "Plus with the both of us in good standing there should be no real issue in getting them to come to our aid right?" He said with a little tilt of his head. Mizuki knew that the Bandit lord was a cruel yet kind man if you knew how to get on his good side that was.

"Either way...' Mizuki began as he looked to Thal with suggestive eyes "There is nothing more that we can do about it tonight" He said with a little smile 'What you need is to rest and sleep. Get ready for tomorrow its going to be a fairly long day...yet again" Mizuki said with a little bit of a sigh.

"Yeah yeah.. I'll see about finding them tomorrow." He grumbled a little. "Means i'll have to fight again tsk.. damned band being led by simple minded orcs.. " Not that this one was simple minded in truth. He was very smart and to lead a band this long without help from outside sources and to stay clear of the other army trying to take the area over. Let alone it is where Thalion learned most of his fighting at. "I wouldn't say I left on good standings heh, remember I was suppose to kill the general of this army before I .. er we'll just say misjudged my aim." It was almost funny thinking back on it, he had a name back then. He never figured that he'd be spared by the very person he tried to kill on a number of occasions. "Either way it'll be done, somehow." Even if he had to drag the damn leader by his ear, though he doubted it'd come to that.

He nodded slightly at the thought of rest. "true.. I'll need it. Taps and all the other shit i'll be dealing with." He waved a hand in the air lazily. "Guess it'll be up to you to watch Nemi and Raden, though I think she keeps him in line well enough." It was almost funny really, the boy was rather snappy with anyone else but she had whacked him a number of times saying he needed manners. Either way he walked over to the bed before flopping onto it. He didn't want to sleep, truth of it was he was on edge and he worried about something happening while he was gone, he needed to relax seeing as Mizuki was going to be here.. so things should be fine.

Mizuki smiled to him "Your thinking to hard on this" He said to him with a tilt of his head "Everything happens for a reason" He said "If its ment to be it will and thats all we can do about it" Mizuki said with a nod before standing and grabbing Thalions hand dragging the shorter male towards the bed. Mizuki then all but pushed Thal unto the bed before joining behind him. "You need sleep" He said slightly silencing the others protests.

Mizuki laid there and looked towards Thalion. Mizuki wasnt stupid he knew exactly what the other was worried over. It pained Mizuki a little that he could do nothing to help his distressed lover. Well...if he couldnt help he could distract...right? Leaning over Mizuki placed his head on the others shoulder hidden away in the drows neck. His left hand drawing lazy designs on the exposed chest. "I love you" He said softly his hot breath ghosting over an exposed neck.

He didn't fight Mizuki pulling him and pushing him onto the bed, he was right he did need sleep. This was all getting to him, he just wanted things to be damn simple again. "Probably.. sleep is something easier said than done at times." That was the truth, he had worked so hard int he past year. Now there was the thought that it could be destroyed within moments of the other side attacking. Even with a force of mages they were still vastly outnumbered.

He was still stuck in his own thoughts when Mizuki seemed to rest against him. He was about to ask if something was the matter with the way Mizuki seemed to be leading his finger lazily along his skin. That thought was stopped as Mizuki spoke softly causing a slight shiver to crawl across his skin feeling the others breath as he spoke. He tried to relax a little knowing that he couldn't keep thinking about all of this, it'd end up putting further stress onto Mizuki and he didn't want that. "Is that so?" He smirked a little before speaking again. "I'm still trying to figure out why .. even after all these years." Sure he could just say he loved him too or something but.. he was going to make him work for it.

Mizuki frowned a little at that then got a different kind of smile on his face "I love you for so many reasons" He said before leaning up on his right arm so he could peer down at the other, hair falling into his face 'I love your strength" He said leaning down kissing him lightly "I love your ability to lead" He said "Not to mention the fact your handsome and kind hearted...my light when all others failed me" Mizuki knew that the words he was saying would bother the male below him and that was his plan. Mizuki had a way with his words but he never spoke a lie.

Mizuki looked right into Thalions eyes then with a small smile and half lidded lavender eyes "I love the way you walk, talk breathe...I love everything that is and will be you" He said softly "But your to pig headed to see that!" He said in a playfull huff before falling to the bed and turning his back to the other.

He did hate being talked about, and the way Mizuki did it caused him to grow weak. The thought he even had a weakness made him cringe a little but at the same time he wouldn't have it any other way. Though he didn't know what he was talking about, hell he barely had gotten by most of his life. Mizuki was far stronger and a better leader. But he wasn't going to argue with that at the moment.

When he seemed to speak up again and moved to turn his back to him he sat up and looked at him. "tsk.. I am not.. " he mumbled under his breath a little. He sighed a little noticing Mizuki seemed intent on keeping his back to him. Sure he didn't think he was really mad, but he wasn't too sure of that at the same time. Mizuki was good about hiding what he was thinking when he wanted to that was for sure. Finally giving up he moved to wrap one arm around the other and pulling himself against Mizuki's back before biting his neck lightly. "Take it back.. I am not pig headed" He said as he growled softly into the other's neck.

Mizuki all the while had a smile on his face when his back was to Thalion. Mizuki had a way of playing with the other male to get the best reactions out of him with the simplest of movements. It was his little game that he liked to play and he played it as often as he could. Mizuki sighed happily as he fest the strong arm of Thalion wrapp around his waist. It was a feeling that he missed.

Mizuki then shivered as he felt the teeth of the other male bite into his neck and almost giggled when he spoke "And if I dont take it back?" He asked in an almost daring voice "What would you do then?' He said moving slightly so he could look at the male behind him "...Pig headed..." He said with a smile just to get a reaction.

He glared a little at Mizuki listening to him. He knew what trap he had just fallen into here and it was too late to get out or back out now. He never answered the other as he was asked what would be do if he didn't take it back. He was still thinking on what to do, seeing as anything he could think of was hardly a punishment or threat to Mizuki. Though he did hear the last words from the others mouth as he repeated 'pig head' once more. Moving he forced the other onto his back and held him there leaning half over top of him.

"Your going to regret that" he warned though he had a bit of a smirk on his face like he was plotting something. Leaning down he started to act like he was going to kiss the other but stopped just brushing their lips together for a mere second as he moved one hand along Mizuki's chest and down to his waistline and resting it there a moment. "Want to keep pushing your luck?" He asked softly, he had a plan already though it was sort of a punishment to both of them if Mizuki was going to keep up this act.

Mizuki gave a little shiver. He wanted that kiss and Thalion was cruel to deny him it. Though as he felt the other males hand glide down his chest to rest on a hip he smiled softly "Will I regret it?" He asked playfully reaching a hand up to Thalions hair and running long thin fingers through the locks he smiled 'Or in the end will I be the victor as it seems you keep falling into a little whole" Mizuki said before rubbing fingers down the other males pointed ear slowly.

Mizuki had a feeling he would regret his actions but at the same time maybe regret was the wrong word. Mizuki smiled as he got a thought in his head. Moving his hands he grasped the other males hips before forcing Thalion into a kneeling postion above him with a leg on either side of his waste.

He was about to speak that he was going to ensure he'd regret it but couldn't force the words as the other spoke again and moved his hand to mess with his ear. He wanted to curse the other for doing that but at the same time he needed to focus or Mizuki was going to win. Though at this rate he was going to anyway, maybe once or twice out of all of the battles they had in this manner did he ever win.

Before he could even recover his thoughts Mizuki had already forced him to move. He tried to recover himself so he had the upper hand again, but that was easier said then done. He wasn't sure why he was bothering to fight.. maybe the fight was why he even loved the other. The one person that could force him to do whatever they wanted with such simple actions or words. "Stop your grinning .. you haven't won yet." He warned the other, though he wasn't sure what to do even to get the better of Mizuki for starting this.

Mizuki smiled to him "Oh...Im not going to win you say?" He said softly to the other male before he reached both his hands out to rest long lean fingers on the others hips kneeding the clothed flesh there with a smile "I dont know...but it seems to me I may have the upper hand" With that his right hand began to travel up Thalions side slowly with almost tickeling fingers.

Mizuki smiled before moving and sitting up causing the male before him to bend his knees to sit on Mizukis thighes. That is when Mizukis right hand traveled around the males side to splay fingers on a toned back bringing the other in for an attack. Before the protest left Thalions lips Mizukis lips found refuge on the others neck and collar bone, enjoying the free range.

Maybe he should have kept his mouth shut as Mizuki seemed to like this little challenge presented to him. Thalion's ears went back a little when Mizuki spoke about having the upper hand, he knew he did. There was little to nothing he could really do without trying to hurt the other.. plus at the same time what did he care if the other had the upper hand anyway. Though this was a short lived thought as Mizuki moved his hand lightly, he started to stop him from doing so but was caught off guard when Mizuki moved to sit up.

The suddenness of the movement left Thalion open for whatever Mizuki had wanted to do. The other knew him too well, doing everything to keep him from protesting this. Though he still tried to force it out and failed as Mizuki seemed to attack his neck. Breathing out a little he shivered at the feeling of other others lips against his skin. Maybe he was just weak, or gave in too easily. But he saw no point in fighting it really, but saying something like it wasn't a matter of life and death ... no he wasn't going to risk saying that, the next thing he'd know is that Mizuki would turn it into life or death.

Mizuki smiled before he pulled back slightly "I think...I win" He said lightly before putting his lips back to work. It was something Mizuki thought they both needed. So it was something they both got. It was slow and tender. Nothing was rushed or forced and soon they lay together breathing heavy but rapped in each others embrace. Mizuki smiled and nuzzled his head in Thalions hair as the other found place upon his chest.

It was rare that he had the chance to to hold the male like this so when the moment came he took it greatfully. As Mizuki began to drift asleep he smiled into the dark red locks "I love you..." He said trying his luck again. He knew Thalion said those words very rarely so when they are said its a little drop of joy that Mizuki savors.
