[The Lamb might hear a dark chuckle in the temple as Narinder truly thinks he's a genius. His box is in the loft office for the Lamb. Surely they would never look there!]
Re: Text - UN: The One Who Waits - CW: Drunk texts with Narinder
[As the Lamb climbs the stairs, the box Narinder is in is obvious. Looks like he went and found some kind of chest. The lid is closed. Though the clinking inside does stop. He doesn't know the Lamb is there. Though the tap tap tap of him tying can be heard.]
all are empty. need more wine.
in person aka standing behind you breathing omniously
[Narinder winces and curls in on himself as the lid lifts. Narinder is in the chest alright. Somehow fitting in there as only a cat can. With several bottles of wine around him. His phone is in his hands and held close to his face. He groans and pushes himself up, the bottles rolling off and around him to clink together.]
Ack. You found -hic- me.
Re: in person aka standing behind you breathing omniously
no eyes on me. can drink all I want in here. i fit so i sit.
[He stretches and cracks his back. Then he grabs an empty wine bottle and tips it upside down over his mouth to let the last few drops fall onto his tongue.]
Re: in person aka standing behind you breathing omniously
[Narinder shakes his head. He pulls the Lamb close as he raises to his knees, staring into those eyes. One hand stays on the fleece, grasping tight, so they can't move. The other moves up to run fingers through the soft wool hair, feeling it bounce and shift beneath his fingers.]
You were mine. I could hold you within the palm of my hand. My vessel. My Lamb.
I was your god. Your patron. You were mine. I was yours.
Now?
Re: in person aka standing behind you breathing omniously
*they don't stop Narinder from moving, curious enough to see if the wine has loosened his tongue to actually speak the burdens plaguing him. Yet when the tall cat remains kneeing and a hand goes through their wool, they still, ears piqued forward to really listen*
*what Narinder speaks is truth. That was how it was. The first death sending them to purgatory. Meeting The One Who Waits. Becoming the vessel for him*
*they bring a hand to curl against Narinder's in their wool*
The only thing that has changed between us is the crown and titles.
The rest is still the same. There is no 'were' or 'was' as you believe.
Re: in person aka standing behind you breathing omniously
[The wine has indeed loosened his tongue. And his fingers but right now they speak face to face. His hand releases the wool as the fingers curl around his hand. His claws turn and lace fingers back with the Lamb's, locked together, and fitted perfectly. He leans in close, until their noses touch and his lips brush the Lamb's.]
Then you are still mine. And I am yours. Truly? [His voice is a hushed deep whisper, a secret confession meant only for the two of them.]
Re: in person aka standing behind you breathing omniously
*a part of them wonders if Narinder will remember this conversation, given how much wine is on his tongue. But when that clawed hand curls into their own, fitting together as if meant to be there, they smile and give a gentle squeeze there*
*nose boops and lips brushing their mouth makes them pinken as they listen - whisper soft confessions meant only for them*
Truly. That has never changed.
Re: in person aka standing behind you breathing omniously
[Narinder's own cheeks burn as he stares into those beautiful eyes. Feels the voice echo in his head and it soothes the frayed nerves and his aching heart. He wonders if the Lamb even understands what he means. What he desires. Perhaps they do. Perhaps not. He has to know. Right now, tonight.]
And if I wanted to have your heart? And give you mine in return?
Do you understand? Do you want me as I want you?
Will you give me your heart as you have already stolen mine?
Re: in person aka standing behind you breathing omniously
*there's the actual question. One that they weren't certain if the former god actually wanted from them. They were closer than most, even when they were merely the Vessel and not the new god of Death, but things had been complicated*
*but they remember being in Purgatory with the One That Waits - a connection that others didn't have. Couldn't explain. For them there was really no one else. Perhaps that was messed up, given that they died to find their God in the void, but it was what occurred*
*and so here they stand, close enough to remember being near Narinder even then, to have blunt honesty for once and not spitting fire and confusion*
You already have it, Narinder. You always have.
Re: in person aka standing behind you breathing omniously
[The connection between then started the moment he laid eyes on his vessel. The last Lamb, sent to him, the first new face to be seen in so long. As they spoke, as he watched, and that connection grew stronger. That was the source of the betrayal when the Lamb refused. That was the beginning of something far more complicated. That was when things changed, their roles reversed, and Narinder found his heart was stolen only once he felt his heart beat once again.
The realization is obvious. His three eyes widen and his pupils narrow. His heart races and the elation he feels, along with the lack of inhibitions, takes over. He slams his mouth into the Lamb's, kissing them with a fierceness that was not their the last time they kissed.]
Re: in person aka standing behind you breathing omniously
*to say it to the former God is mildly terrifying. Things had been different when they were the Vessel - brought back to life for revenge and to make the prophecy happen. And so they had - the vengeance spurning them forward until the deeds were done and the ultimate choice was there. To lay it all down and die*
*they refused - there was no way of knowing if they gave up the crown, that they'd be resurrected again if Narinder came back into power. Granted, they never asked, the rage taking over - but they hadn't guaranteed it. By refusing then, the two of them could go on. They made it so - though the complications remained - because of course they did. That was how life was*
*they watch right back as the triplicate eyes widen and sharpen - they feel the way heartbeats race - how could they not? They knew of life and death more intimately now*
*the fierceness startles them for a moment as that mouth is upon their own, but they hold onto Narinder's hand tighter, returning it as they taste the lingering alcohol but care not. Instead, their other hand comes up, brushing through black fur as they indulge now*
Re: in person aka standing behind you breathing omniously
[The fingers in his fur feel so good. His tongue presses forward, seeking to deepen the kiss. His desire and the alcohol fueling his actions. His thoughts of fear, anxiety, of rejection, are gone to the buzz of this kiss and intoxication. Narinder's fingers slide through soft wool again, the other hand holding tight. Almost afraid that if he lets go, if this ends, it will only be a dream.
He purrs into the kiss as he presses forward, leaning his weight more into the Lamb. He wants to lay down, on top of them, to feel them under him like he's dreamed of so many times before.]
Re: in person aka standing behind you breathing omniously
*they stroke through that fur, finding it soft under their fingers as Narinder's find their wool, dense as it is from the cooler weather of the year filling the cloud out more. They feel the way Narinder clutches at their hand in desperation, not about to let go in case the cat spooks and runs off*
*being the smaller of the two of them, even with Narinder kneeling as he is, drunken antics and the fact that the black cat deepens the kiss with tongue and weight. They bleat a soft gasp against his mouth as they topple, hands clutching against Narinder as they go down underneath them - their fleece splaying out like a half unwrapped present*

Where is the box?
Re: Text - UN: The One Who Waits - CW: Drunk texts with Narinder
hidden. find me.

Re: Text - UN: The One Who Waits - CW: Drunk texts with Narinder
i can hear you trying not to laugh
Re: Text - UN: The One Who Waits - CW: Drunk texts with Narinder
[The dark chuckling stops. Though there is some shuffling and the sound of glass tapping glass. Followed by Narinder's voice.]
shit...
Re: Text - UN: The One Who Waits - CW: Drunk texts with Narinder
did you break something what are you doing?
Re: Text - UN: The One Who Waits - CW: Drunk texts with Narinder
I am trying to find wine.
[More clinking noises from the loft upstairs. How many bottles does he have?]
empty...damn.
Re: Text - UN: The One Who Waits - CW: Drunk texts with Narinder
*they consider the stairs up to the loft, since they can hear him and start up the stairs*
*except they don't jingle as they often do*
Re: Text - UN: The One Who Waits - CW: Drunk texts with Narinder
i bought my own!
some of it.
[As the Lamb climbs the stairs, the box Narinder is in is obvious. Looks like he went and found some kind of chest. The lid is closed. Though the clinking inside does stop. He doesn't know the Lamb is there. Though the tap tap tap of him tying can be heard.]

*they blink a few times at it and flock to it, looking it over before undoing the latch and opening it*
Narinder?
Re: in person aka standing behind you breathing omniously
Ack. You found -hic- me.
Re: in person aka standing behind you breathing omniously
Why are you in a chest?
Re: in person aka standing behind you breathing omniously
no eyes on me. can drink all I want in here. i fit so i sit.
[He stretches and cracks his back. Then he grabs an empty wine bottle and tips it upside down over his mouth to let the last few drops fall onto his tongue.]
Re: in person aka standing behind you breathing omniously
Why? Why are you hiding? You have your quarters and your privacy. We honor that.
What is really bothering you?
Re: in person aka standing behind you breathing omniously
My quarters are empty. The box felt full.
[Instead of answering with his words, his hand reaches out to grab hold of the Lamb's fleece. He stares into their eyes, not letting go.]
Re: in person aka standing behind you breathing omniously
Full of wine, you mean?
*when they're grabbed, they don't fight it, being pulled closer. Instead they watch those eyes bore into them*
Narinder, what is troubling you so?
Re: in person aka standing behind you breathing omniously
You were mine. I could hold you within the palm of my hand. My vessel. My Lamb.
I was your god. Your patron. You were mine. I was yours.
Now?
