I’ve—

[Daisy swallows thickly, pushing the knot out of her throat.]

I’ve been here almost two years. I don’t want to forget that, or all of the people I’ve met here. People I’ve come to care about.

[drawsblood]

[ It's honestly not something he's considered before. Since he hadn't known what happened to those who went home, obviously this hasn't been a topic to dwell on, but on the other hand, he didn't think much about what he'd look back on once he was home. Maybe he's lacking in sentimentality, or maybe he's just being dumb. Either are just as likely for him. ]

I can see why, but if nothing can be done to prevent it than all you can do is enjoy what you have while you have it.

[morethan084]

[She’s seen the other side of this all. How her father just forgot her, and while she knows he’s a happier person because of his memory being wiped, it doesn’t prevent the hurt she feels.

That was going to be her one day, just forgetting the people she cares about exist. She won’t even search for them because she won’t remember them. And she can’t enjoy what she has because there’s something she can’t have.

Someone, specifically.

It’s a selfish thought, and so is her next thought as her eyes fall to his lips. That maybe she can have a short lived distraction from the pain.]

Is that your plan?

[drawsblood]

I honestly haven't given it much thought.

[ He's not about to admit to what his life was like before arriving here. Isolating himself, living in the wilds, and just wallowing in his situation. Any type of interaction with others without risk of turning on them is a blessing. ]

I suppose I'm not taking any of this for granted, but once I return to my land this will be behind me. I can accept that.

[morethan084]

We’re going to forget each other exists.

[And while she may not be nearly as close to him as she is with others here, she’s enjoyed getting to know him.

Reaching for the bottle again, Daisy takes a long swig before holding it out in offer to him.]

[drawsblood]

Yes.

[ But if that's the way things have to be in order for them to undo their pasts, than he'll accept it. ]

But we're not home yet. So we exist to each other now.

[ He takes the bottle and likewise takes a long swig. This will probably be the last of it he has to drink tonight. ]

[morethan084]

[Daisy smiles sadly when he points out that they’re not home yet. And that selfish thought crosses her mind again as she watches him drink from the bottle,]

We do.

[She reaches a hand, tentatively placing it on his leg.]

[drawsblood]

[ The touch is definitely welcome, though he does have a caveat if she's thinking of more. ]

I don't kiss crying women, so are your tears all dried up now?

[morethan084]

[That gets a weak but genuine laugh out of her as she leans forward in the chair, closer to him.]

They are.

[And this time she’s not at risk for getting her lips torn apart by his tusks.]

[drawsblood]

[ Always a plus to not draw blood while making out. He shifts to the edge of the bed to meet her but it still seems too far so he grips the arms of the chair and scoots it with her in it closer to him. ]

Good.

[morethan084]

[Not expecting to be pulled closer while sitting in the chair, Daisy’s eyes go wide in surprise. Smiling for the first time in a few days, her eyes fall to his lips again before leaning in to kiss him.

Joel was right about having distractions, but right now? That’s exactly what she needs.]

[drawsblood]

[ He can't say he minds being used as a distraction. Maybe if he ever needs one someday she'll return the favor. His lips meet hers and it's definitely better now that his mouth is the right shape again. There's no hesitation because there's no risk of injury via tusk so he just goes for it and cups her jaw in his hand. ]

[morethan084]

[This was a lot nicer than the first time they kissed, her skin breaking out in goosebumps when he cups her jaw in his warm hand. Touch starved doesn’t even begin to cover how much she needs this, as she reaches up. Fingertips brushing along the side of his jaw as she deepens the kiss.]

[drawsblood]

[ It doesn't take much to get him wanting more - especially now that they're back in their original forms. His arm snakes around her waist to lift her from the chair and into his lap so he can better touch her body, hand already splaying across the small of her back. ]

[morethan084]

[Daisy smiles briefly into the kiss when he picks her up, thighs on either side of waist once she’s situated in his lap. Moving her hand to the base of his neck, her fingers grip the hair at the nape of his neck.]

[drawsblood]

[ Her lips taste like vodka, which is no surprise. But though he doesn't really care much for the flavor, he's more than happy with her being here right now. And he definitely likes his hair being touched. In fact, he reaches up a hand and strokes hers in return, making a pleased sound into her mouth. ]

[morethan084]

[Heat flashes through her body when he strokes her hair, her grip on his hair tightening a little as the kiss becomes more heated. Desperate for an escape from her depression she reaches down with her free hand for the hem of his shirt. Is she rushing this? Maybe a little. Does she care right now? No.]

[drawsblood]

[ It is pretty fast but he's not the type to mind. As she finds the bottom of his shirt, he pulls back from the kiss a little to help her, giving a short laugh. ]

You're sure?

[morethan084]

[Face flushed, Daisy pulls back a bit further to look at him.]

Yeah.

[And even though he’s helping pull his shirt up over his head she asks anyway,]

Are you okay with this?

[drawsblood]

Yes.

[ In the months he's been here he's never once felt himself slip away or the rage takes over. This isn't something he would have thought possible without a cure, but now he's willing to give in to what he's been missing for a long time. Once the shirt is off he takes it from her and tosses it aside. She's seen him shirtless before and there thankfully aren't any new scars to report. There is, however, the tell tale sign of a healing bruise in its last stage on his ribs. ]

[morethan084]

[Smiling when he chucks his shirt across the room, Daisy’s eyes roam over his body, and her smile fades a little at seeing the left over bruising. It at least looks better than it did, and it doesn’t seem to be bothering him. Biting her lower lip, her gaze lifts from his torso, to his lips and then finally meeting his eyes.

One of her hands slides up his bare arm, coming back to rest back at the nape of his neck as she leans in to kiss him again.]

[drawsblood]

[ She doesn't say anything, which is good because he'd just tell her it's fine and to stop worrying about it. He's endured far worse that a bruise before. Going back to kissing, it's now his turn to slide the hem of her shirt upwards, pushing thumbs underneath to gather the fabric while grazing his skin against hers. ]

[morethan084]

[Daisy practically melts into him, it’s been months since she’s been touched like this. Once the shirt is up past her stomach she helps him get it off the rest of the way, pulling away from the kiss just long enough to toss it in the same direction he had thrown his own. She hadn’t put on a bra, having been laying in bed a good portion of the day.]

[drawsblood]

[ It's impossible to not want to explore her body after so long without this intimacy. Hands roam her back before moving to the front, thumbs sliding along right beneath her breasts. His lips leave hers to press against her jaw and down her neck while every instinct tells him to just flip her down on the mattress immediately. It's hard to ignore such an urge, but he's trying to savor this just a little. ]

[morethan084]

[Eyes still closed when his lips trail down her neck, Daisy inhales shakily. Fingers gripping his hair when his lips brush against a particularly sensitive spot on her neck, she pushes her hips against his. She definitely wouldn’t mind if he just flipped her down on the mattress right now.]
