[i]~The nothing seems to lighten slightly. He can hear him, feel him. He's nearby. He wants to reach out, to have him, to be one with him. . .The swooping feeling that brings conciousness doesn't seem to want to come and Seishu pouts silently, trying reach out, to take hold. . .It's [b]his[/b] Enasi. He wants him. . .~[/i]

The light is nice and dim but still there, making his eyes throb gently, a small mumble of protest leaving him completely unintelligibly. The pain in his body is still faint, the shot from before still working making his movements a little smoother than they should be. Without even opening his eyes he slides to the side and pulls the small red head on to the bed and settles down comfortably on top of him. In a voice smooth as silk he murmurs, “I think that this little sexy beast and I need to have some quite time to discuss our options, that's what I think. . .” His right eye opens a slit and he looks over at Harper, giving him a look that's enough to make the bunny blush and with a cough he excuses himself. Turning to look back at Enasi he hums happily, kissing the man tenderly before settling down completely atop the man, his face buried in his neck comfortably.

“Yes, of course-” Right after Harper mentioned Seishu, Enasi was suddenly pulled down and onto the bed. His initial response was to ask how he was doing, but the comment made a faint flush rise in his cheeks. It wasn’t long before Harper was escaping out the door either. Enasi’s gaze went back up to Seishu and returned his smile. “Better than before, that’s good.” He was answered with a kiss and Enasi couldn’t help the small chuckle as Seishu got comfortable again. He wasn’t sure just how well Seishu was feeling, but him smiling was a good sign. While Seishu rested on top of him, he absentmindedly began petting his hair. Without much effort, his energy snaked out of his free hand and closed a few of the curtains that weren’t completely shut. It was dim, but due to the nature of the world, it would never get too dark- at least not as dark as the nightmare realm.

Ever the considerate man, Enasi makes it a little darker in the room, making the already purring Seishu nuzzle the warm skin in front of him. The purr remains thick and deep as he shifts gently as to not dislodge the hand on his head. Slipping slightly to the side so he doesn't squish the smaller man he drags his tongue along that exposed skin before pushing up slightly so he can look down into Enasi's eyes. “So. . .” His voice is soft, calm, but with a note of seriousness in it. “I hear there are some major changes happening due to my being here.” His eyes flick to the door. “He tells me. . . Little Bite has undergone something huge? He's. . . .Infected?” There is a note of worry under his confusion, his mind not completely working properly to remember everything Harper had told him.

The purring on top of him is soothing and Enasi closes his eyes, not to sleep, but just to revel in the embrace. The movements catch his attention, but he only opens his eyes when he feels Seishu’s tongue on him. He bit his lip to refrain from making a sound, and then sighed gently when Seishu looked at him. “A few, yes.” The worry that followed made Enasi smile and push hair behind Seishu’s ears. “Infected, no. That makes it sound like he’s in danger. Crios did a few tests. There hasn’t been a minion who was capable of jumping from the dream to nightmare realm in...well I don’t know the last time it’s ever happened actually. Seems that Rue’s energy, while mostly positive because he was born here, is also more neutral. It wasn’t very apparent until you showed up though and even more so now, now that he’s coming into his powers. It’s why he has a higher tolerance for negative energy.” Enasi smiled again. “It’s amazing really. He doesn’t necessarily have the best of both worlds, but he can definitely experience them without getting as sick as my other minions would.” He paused for a moment before adding, “Which is why Crios asked him if we could test it out. He offered to help of course. I wouldn’t force him do something like that. The others’ positive energies were unbalanced. I think more so after what happened…” Enasi frowned a little at the memory of himself, but sighed. “Instead of dispelling all the negative energy, Crios tried to balance it out…Trying to recreate that neutral energy that Rue has, essentially.”

The explanation calms his worry slightly, his eyes traveling gently over his lover's features as he speaks, letting the presence beneath him bring him comfort. “Yes, well, the little fairy has always been a little bit off from the rest.” he murmurs, enjoying the feeling of having his hair touched softly again. “I'm glad that some good is coming from all this. . .” He lets out a sigh, looking sad for a moment. The sad turns to a sly grin and he shifts, kissing Enasi soundly, barely pulling back as he whispers, “Well, other than this of course. . . .” He never been so aggressively forward when not in Their World before, and he's worried that Enasi will push him away, but he can't help trying. 

Enasi hums in agreement about Rue. The boy was always brimming with positive energy, no doubt, but there was always something that was there that he couldn’t put a finger on. Now, he was just happy to know there was nothing wrong. The guardian caught on to the sudden sadness and was about to say something, only to be interrupted by a kiss. The dream guardian froze for a moment, unsure of how to respond. It was only for a moment though, as he let his brain catch up to the sudden… shift of topics. Enasi let out a small huff, not knowing what else to say before smiling and returning the kiss, only to hum in agreement.

[i]'So, not quite ready yet. . .'[/i] He can feel an internal pout as Enasi simply looks back at him with shock and sighs softly. He smiles faintly as the kiss is returned moments later but he realizes he can't press it right now so after a beat he shifts again, laying his head on Enasi's shoulder. “So. . . .” His breath trickles out to caress the area he'd licked. “The minions are changing, a dream has the hots for my second, your second is undergoing treatment to facilitate a more radical change, and you are feeling so bad that I could get a half decent meal off of you if I weren't so interested in making you happy. . . .Or horny. . . .Either would do.” He pulls back, smiling faintly, his free hand coming up to run pale fingers through those auburn locks. “So, what's bothering you. Let's talk about it while I'm still high so I'm actually of some use.” He smiles a little wider but refrains from laughing, wanting Enasi to take his offer seriously.

The guardian waited quietly, wondering what Seishu was up to when he laid back down only to find that they were continuing their talk. Besides the faint shiver that went down his spine, Enasi remained still and attentive while Seishu began to speak. The moment the nightmare guardian called him out about his mood, Enasi bit his tongue to prevent himself from instantly denying that he didn’t feel ‘that bad’. At least, for once, he didn’t think he felt that bad. He had to try even harder not to smile when Seishu commented about his state of well being, but failed at that. “All changes for the better which is a good- well, Rasha’s always been a… free spirited dream. That’s more of a better for him deal.” As long as the dream wasn’t getting hurt, he didn’t see the harm of it. With a light laugh, he added, “And I appreciate your concern. You do a fine job of expressing it.” He teased before giving a small shrug. “I don’t feel as bad as before though. Before as in, before you and Inui snuck into bed with me.” He thought over it before continuing. “But I still feel guilty about what happened. My minions are terrified of me. It’s not… well, it’s definitely not the best feeling. It’s definitely something I don’t want for my kingdom.” He frowned a little as it replayed in his mind. “The fear was warranted though. I’ve never threatened my minions before… but I’ve also never been so angry- or scared.” He looked back at Seishu for a moment. “The idea of losing you wasn’t something I could handle.” He eased the tension of his own mind and added. “And not just because it would be...you know physically painful for the both of us. But you know, Gin would be an awful counterpart. It just wouldn’t last. Even before we became...well acquainted I liked you a lot better.” He laughed lightly and stuck his tongue out. “Dare I say I’ve fallen for the bad boy. The nightmare. What a scandal.” He laughed again, something he probably needed.

Purring, Seishu cuddles deeper into Enasi's side, humming softly as he listens to the man speak as his aching body protests any and all movement. He listens how his lover feels bad about his underlings being afraid, about how he doesn't want it to be so. As a guardian he understands the sentiment, but at the same time he knows that without that fear, more pain would have come. Not only to him either. If they did not fear Enasi, they could have gone full rogue and caused so many problems beyond just killing him off. Gin being the shining example. Inflicting that maniac on the realms is unconscionable.

He can't help the deeper purr as Enasi announces that he likes him better in their war days than he likes Gin, despite the comparison being not even close. He joins his lover in the laugh, chasing that tongue down with a deep kiss before settling back on his side. Playing gently with Enasi's robes ha can't help add a chuckle on. “Don't get to see you in the nice stuff often. I like it. . .” Humming, he pulls back the top slightly, kissing the smaller male's neck gently, letting his head rest on his lover's shoulder as he thinks.

“I know it's an unpleasant thought, but I think, with the worlds changing the way they are, for now, it is better they fear you than not.” He reaches up, stroking Enasi's cheek. “Without that fear, the more rebellious elements here in the Dream Realm could cause some major upsets before we get things stabilized. . .” He lets out a sigh, kissing Enasi again, finding comfort in the little acts of affection. “I think, maybe, as soon as Crios thinks I'm up for more activity than cuddling and sleeping, I could make my face a little more well known in the realm. Let people see me, and not going off their last memory of me cutting a swath through the battlefield. . .”

Pressing himself firmly against Enasi's chest he can feel the faint throb of pain in the back of his mind and he knows it's more the realm itself than the injuries making him ache. [i]'I will never be able to live here, or he there. There's just too much of a difference. But hopefully. . . .Hopefully, once it's all settled with Gin, we will be able to find some peaceful nights on earth. Maybe go see some of those places that make humans fall in love with them. . .'[/i] Sighing, he nuzzles in closer, feeling the urge to sleep once more. “I'm glad you fell for me Enasi. . .” he murmurs, bestowing another kiss. “We will figure this out, and there will be peace, and. . . .Yeah. . . .” Before another word can escape him Seishu is out, his limbs feeling like lead and his head all fuzzy until the darkness comes to take over.
