[ incredible. imagine a rabbit that can fight. what's it going to do, cute him to death or something? chomp down with those little teeth of theirs? leona has no fear when it comes to charming looks. who's going to make his heart skip a beat, not kaname! absolutely not him!!!

...

okay maybe watching him go and hearing his giggle... ugh okay his tail quietly wiggles in anticipation. look how smoothly kaname gets out of there and probably somewhere else? he'll have to follow and check those same hiding spots from before. would make the most sense because there might be less dust... a little cleaner...

he certainly won't expect getting jumped! nope. never :) ]

[ great! because kaname is definitely hoping he isn't expecting to be, since he'll wait to see what leona does before toeing off his shoes to be a little sneakier as he steps quietly along. careful... careful...

and then he'll go for a hug from behind to catch the other, let the hunter become the hunted!!!!! kaname'll be sooooooo happy this is... a lot of fun, actually, almost scarily so!!! whether he wins or not, it's fun. which is-- something he's becoming comfortable with, with certain people, and leona is definitely someone he doesn't mind losing to.

he has nothing to prove, he's realized. it's liberating. ]

[ it's when he steps through a doorway and around a corner that he notices the shoes, but it's too late for him. arms around his body, circling him, giving him what feels like a gentle wrap and squeeze... it pulls a gasp out from him. leona kingscholar, finally captured by a human! the second prince of beasts, foiled by man! incredible... amazing.

or...

leona takes kaname's hands, keeping them there, turning his head slightly so he can peek at the boy using his peripheral. ]

Huh. You got me.

[ keeping it cool. ]

So now that ya do, what're you plannin'?

[ hee. kaname smiles smugly up at the beastman, leaning more against him with a thoughtful hum. now what... any good predator would eat their prey of course, but leona is hardly prey. hmmmmmm. ]

Turn around. I want to kiss you.

[ that first. ]

We can "break in" the beanbag, as you put it.

[ oh? well then. looks like leona's actually a winner here... despite being 'caught'. he's slow and deliberate as he turns to face kaname, not going so fast to force the other to lose his grip but not slow enough to drag it out. a healthy medium speed.

then both eyebrows raise in surprise along with a grin. ]

Guess I'm fine with that.

[ and he'll sort of bend down to make it easier for him. ]

[ leona did find him... it's a reward for that. but it's still plenty of a reward for himself too, being able to be forthright with his want for affection in both giving and receiving, and kaname stands a little taller to kiss the beastman

on his cheek. haha. ]

You didn't think I was going to reward you for a job half-done, did you?

[ come on... you know he's not the type. reimei rewards results, not efforts -- it's still hard to peel that off of him. ]

[ if he's disappointed, then leona's not showing it. far from it--- both of his ears flick as he turns his head and noses kaname's cheek in return. ]

You didn't think that you made a mistake of gettin' this close and not expectin' any kind of... counterattack?

[ with that? he picks up kaname into his arms and flings him over his shoulder. ]

Ready for that beanbag chair?

[ cute... the nosing makes him smile, and the following words makes his heart skip a beat--

but the casual toss makes him yelp and he smacks leona lightly on the back, turning to scowl at the other. even if he can't see it. he doesn't particularly mind being manhandled like this, but he has to put up some level of fight for his own pride. ]

Yes, you brute. Haven't you ever heard of being careful with the things you [ love ] like?

[ gosh........ suuuuch a mean lion. a total jerk of a prince. ]

Of course. If I didn't like [ love ] you, I'd be carryin' you by your ankles and draggin' ya behind me like a sack of sand.

[ he might not be able to see the scowl, but he can certainly feel it. not like it's difficult to read kaname's reactions and attitude--- he's not quite an open book but he's pretty darn close. ]

You rather I carry you in my arms like a newlywed?

[ snickers ]

[ thinks of the last time he was carried like a bride.

... ... ...

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, ]

This is fine. [ it's not he's flumping and deadweighting and he's still easy to carry. a huff. ] I felt as if I was going to die the last time I was carried like that by someone.

[ though mostly because of the person themselves more than anything else. even the memory burns his cheeks. ]

[ hmmmmmmm... ]

Die? [ leona huffs. ] Sounds like they didn't do a good job.

[ but he has an idea of what he means rather than what he's said--- psh, leona can do much better. no way is kaname going to even feel like he's going to die. he's going to be feeling the opposite.

maybe.

anyway, leona leaves the main house and makes a beeline for the hideout, waving a hand to unlock and open the door before coming to the beanbag chair and turning around so he could... gently place kaname down. ]

There. You good?

[ magic is so handy... kaname doesn't reply, a small frown settling on his face at leona's dismissal of the person in question, and it remains as he's placed down so gently.

puffs his cheeks and putting a foot to leona so he can't get closer. even if he's definitely ruining his annoyed image by sinking into the beanbag. ]

Yes. Very comfortable. However, I'd like you to take back your words -- he performed wonderfully, exactly as he should, and I was simply caught off guard.

[ you don't get to speak that way about his friends... only he can. even if leona didn't know. ]

[ a tilt of his head and leona doesn't attempt to push forward and against kaname--- otherwise he may disappear into the beanbag and never come back out again. ]

Mm... alright. I apologize.

[ should kaname ever find out that leona rarely apologizes for his behavior, then he should eventually understand... ]

So are ya sayin' you like it? Bein' held like that?

[ because leona would never know. who would be strong enough to bridal carry him... pwease ]

[ ...

okay, kaname's dropping his foot and holding out his arms. forgiven... if only he knew. ]

... I didn't dislike it. I don't have much experience with it, of course, but...

[ how's he put it... mm. kaname's really only open about his feelings on other people to narukami because it's her fault anyway, but. he does feel comfortable with leona. he'll braid the other's hair whenever he drops down here -- getting better at it with their days spent together, too. ]

I wasn't uncomfortable or anything like that. Then again, I don't generally feel uncomfortable around Hiiro in the first place -- quite the opposite.

[ mmmmmmm. ]

[ nice, leona ACTUALLY wins. if kaname expects anything less than leona immediately dropping down and smushing his face right into the boy's throat and chest and sort of just... waits there and breathes in and out... more than content to stay there and help break in that chair in this awkward position...

...

he blinks. ]

Eh? That kid? [ leona hums lightly. thoughtfully. ] Was he... tryin' to save you or somethin'?

[ because he would expect that from hiiro. yeah.

also it couldn't possibly be romantic. not that... leona would openly voice that............ ]

[ no that's exactly what he was expecting, leona's the only person in the world he can be the big spoon with and it's fascinating. he can be in this awkward position for now, it isn't like kaname can drag him into a better one. ]

No, we were completing some squares together. Hiiro and I don't get into that sort of trouble together.

[ he's a good child... around hiiro. kaname presses a smile into leona's mane, though it's evident in his voice anyways. it's his!!! first friend!!! and... anyway. ]

Though I don't doubt he would if we did, even if I've proven I'm not harmless nor fragile to him. He simply moves before he thinks. A handful, really.

[ oh. well, that also makes some sense. it's good to hear that neither of them are troublemakers--- at least traditional ones--- because otherwise he might actually... worry... about him.

which he does anyway. it's just a fact. ]

One might call that a good problem to have.

[ leona's ears instinctively wiggle. ]

'cause doin' stuff like that is unpredictable. Easier to catch someone by surprise that way.

[ just like this, where he makes the executive decision to lick below his chin and then up to his lips. ]

[ it does net leona a surprised laugh, evidently in a better mood as he responds with a kiss. hello. ]

I don't mind it.

[ for a lot of different reasons, the prime one being that the less thought put into something the more genuine and honest it feels, to him. it's why he likes hiiro. tatsumi. ala. leona too, though he doubts it's all thoughtless -- hunters don't get by with no plans at all, in his opinion. ]

It used to baffle me though. I didn't understand how someone couldn't have a second motive.

[ just a lil peek. ]

[ oh, hello. a kiss from kaname... he treasures each one as if it was his first. ]

Some people are just like that. I'd call it simple but that can be a lil' insulting, ya know?

[ because just maintaining one direction doesn't mean there are complicated complications on the way.

as he continues to pay kaname lip service, his hands slowly make their way beneath the boy... so that leona can give him a little stability. among other things, when fingers sort of will go anywhere without warning... ]

[ mmm. he doesn't mind literal lip service, but the sort people pay to him just to be in his good graces is annoying. this is fine, though, his cheeks are rosing and he's responsive in kind. ]

Do you think I'm simple? I had someone call me that recent--

[ okay no before those fingers wander too far, kaname's putting his hand against leona's face. pause. ]

No.

[ not like. they haven't gone farther elsewhere. but no. no? no. ]

[ no? fine. he won't go anywhere... like... sensitive. keeping it all G or PG.

but he does chuckle about how that hand doesn't exactly cover up a lot? again, very cute. he'll just kiss that palm. ]

Just wanted to get a better grip.

[ so he could, like, smush into kaname some more. ]

[ hmmmmm. okay. the kiss is cute and if that is all... then okay. he'll move his hand to leona's cheek instead, eyes warm and a little apologetic. just a bit. because he does enjoy it, but it'd be awkward to have his other guest here after anything above a PG rating. ]

Anywhere else. But not here.

[ promise... "anywhere else" is dangerous but it's fine, leona won't abuse it. ]

After all, the house has perfectly serviceable beds and it's warming up outside. Lions have little issue with where they bed, don't they?

[ he doesn't have to apologize. leona may be a beastman, but he's not a beast. he's not going to take when kaname says no. he may be disrespectful towards those who put too much weight into their status and their names, but he's not going to put someone through something they don't want.

even more so when it comes to kaname. there's teasing and then there's something much meaner.

...

and he can be mean but. not right now. not like that. ]

Yeah, but... we're here now.

[ doesn't mean he can't lightly push back. ]

You're not wrong though. Maybe outside...

[ oh he's... taking the outside idea seriously... kaname needs to figure out how he feels about it actually. dangerous. but thrilling? but dangerous. at least tatsumi isn't the type to simply come up this way unless kaname invites him, even though kaname's told him he's free to come whenever he wishes, and... the other person who knows... shouldn't care enough to know who his guests are anyway. ]

... I wanna be on top then.

[ like hell he's gonna get dirty... ]

[ of course he is. there's nothing better than having a light breeze, some warm sunlight, and a little snack. ]

Whatever you want.

[ he'll be happy however he can have kaname, though he does prefer having contact with nothing in the way. skin touching skin. ]

You feel like a top kinda guy anyway.

[ regardless of what he's doing. ]
