@sehun o。ᵒʰˢᵉ Hyunjin thought he heard wrong. Most likely he did. But his attention still got drawn towards the man sitting behind the steering wheel. His eyes were big, wide and shifty, almost like he was worriedly checking if Sehun was okay. He watched his companion for a minute too long before he started realizing that the moving mouth was actually letting out audible words. "Please don't toss them into the washing machine," he almost whined. "It's very different from swimming. You can't breathe in there," he shook his head, not realizing how much out of experience he was talking. "The stick," Hyunjin lowered his head to look at the gear stick and wiggled his finger at it. "You didn't even look at it... when you did... the thing," Hyunjin tried to explain himself, however cars were not his most researched and studied inventions. He nodded, his whole torso rocking back and forth excitedly. He didn't need the music, he would probably have a hard time not to sing out loud and dance. He didn't want Sehun to leave him at the side of the road just because there would be upper limbs flying across his view point. "Lucky," Hyunjin's lips pouted slightly as he heard that Sehun did indeed attend college. "Mm," he hummed and nodded, head turning to pay attention to his best friend. "I don't want to assume, but I think it fits you. Like, I wouldn't say that you were made to be a nurse at first glance, however now that I know you a little bit, it's just so you, you know? The only other thing I can imagine you as is a cook. But I'm glad you pulled through the studies, though. Who would keep me from bursting into the surgery room if there wouldn't be a nurse Oh to scold me?" Hyunjin merely joked, smiles and happiness written all over his face. He sure was impressed and proud to have a friend like Sehun, so accomplished and hard-working. But he couldn't let the opportunity to slide.

@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ () if you say so. ;;

Something akin to a laugh rumbled in Sehun's chest, to which a hand left the wheel and moved to cover his mouth upon realization. He didn't just chuckle. No. He couldn't have...and he would not admit to what just happened. The wendigo cleared his throat in hopes of covering up the chuckle that nearly escaped, and he didn't dare look anywhere but straight ahead at the road in front of him. "I did, indeed, mean the clothes. However, I'm positive the pups would very much enjoy being tossed into the washer because they love baths and swimming pools. But that's different, of course" came his reply, hand once again returning to grip the leather steering wheel. "I didn't look? What didn't I look at?" He inquired with a curious tone. "I highly doubt that's what you sound like while singing, but alright. The offer still stands, though. If you want to listen to the radio, I'm more than fine with that." Sehun made sure to reiterate as me made the correct twists and turns along the roads of Magnolia. "Yes, I did. I attended classes through a school in the United States when I lived there for a while. It took me four years to become a Registered Nurse, and I passed my licensure exam a few months after graduation. Having nursing as a major is tough, but pushing through all of those ups and downs I experienced during school made me a better person. Not that I didn't care for others before school...but I certainly feel like I can relate to others much more now."

@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ "oh, right... i never told you about my own abilities." felix chuckles sheepishly and rubs the side of his neck. "there's nothing grand or anything but i am telekinetic so i can move objects with my mind, things of that sort. i can even turn things on if i focus enough. i can also fly, for obvious reasons, however on earth a lot of angels refuse to show their wings so our preferred method is transportation. i can also control the elements with ease and the weather too, but that's only if my emotions are strong. it's my defense technique. other than that, i can heal. guardians of my age tend to have a little more abilities than regular angels and seeing as i was the first of few, i was given the time to... discover my abilities. albeit it wasn't done under... ideal circumstances." he grimaces a little, struggling to find the right words to say without giving anything away. he really sets himself up to be mysterious and coy, never giving anything away but always hinting that things weren't okay or normal in his own awakening. felix is closed off when it comes to that however being in hyunjin's presence, it's helping him open up a little more. why else would he be here if he didn't somewhat trust the man? "please, there's no need to compare our gifts together. your gift had sentimental value and i will cherish meadow very deeply. my gift meant the same, but one a... different sense, i suppose." he shows a soft smile up at taller male before emitting a quiet laugh at the way his friend seems so bashful yet happy at the same time. felix reaches up gently covers hyunjin's palm with his own, smaller in comparison and caresses it gently with the pad of his thumb. "you're very welcome, hyunnie. i'm glad you like it."

@felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ First Hyunjin was surprised by the mention of the Christmas gift, but before he could speak up, his eyes bulged out in complete shock as he watched what Felix was doing. It was intriguing and very magical to look at, he just stared without blinking afraid he would miss a moment of the telekinetic powers taking place. He wanted to ask, put instead ended up dumbfoundedly staring at the once empty palm of the other, pointing at it with a long, bony finger. His mouth opened and closed resembling the one of a fish as he finally blinked himself back to reality. "Huh?" that was the most he could let out before the bracelet was wrapped around his wrist. "That's... t-that's..." he looked at the bracelet after listening to its origins and it felt... oddly intimate. "Your feather... uh... hm..." he muttered incomprehensively feeling overwhelmed inside and his stomach was once again doing the same thing it was during the hug. "I," he looked up at Felix. "How..." and he looked back down at his wrist. He liked it very much. He was at loss of words, which was unusual for him. He couldn't even tease the other about it, it was too much of a sweet gesture. "How can that frog even compare?" he suddenly whined, making a crying grimace as he looked at Felix, in obvious distress. "I love it, but this is... Even if I made a human-sized replica of you out of paper it wouldn't compare to this," he complained as he traced the bracelet with his finger fondly. "Thank you," he muttered, almost shyly.

@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ ( oof wait i forgot the image for reference but this is basically what it looks like!! it's braided and it's got a clamp so just imagine it being white and gold not black >< https://i.imgur.com/KN9G618.jpg )

@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ it was just a tiny little cut and to be honest, with felix's healing ability, he could most likely heal it on his own. guardians were considered immortal after all unless their injuries were caused by someone with demonic essence. that, however, is a completely different situation with completely different consequences. watching hyunjin fumble around the bathroom in a panicked worry was almost endearing in its own unique way; he was fretting about a small paper cut like it was a terminal injury that he needed to tend to immediately. "hyunnie, it's alright. it's just a small papercut. a band-aid will do just fine - there's no need to worry." with the band-aid wrapped neatly around his finger, they can finally return to what they were doing beforehand. he follows hyunjin out of the bathroom obediently, silently listening to his words before looking up at him alarm though it quickly morphs to relief. "i was going to say... i don't wish for you to die, hyunnie. i'd be immensely sad. ah, but... speaking of that, i have something for you. it was supposed t o be your christmas present, but i suppose i can give it to you now." stopping in the middle of the room, it's felix's turn to gently take one of hyunjin's wrists in one hand as the other turned over to display his empty palm. reaching out with his mind and using his telekinetic powers, he focused on the gift that was sitting neatly at his desk in his cottages blocks away. once the focal point was connected, he activated his teleportation ability and summoned the gift into his palm. a bracelet that looked handmade. carefully, the guardian begins putting it on hyunjin's wrist and adjusting it so that it fits perfectly. "you might think it's made of silk, but it's not. you know... angels, we're very sensitive about our wings - guardians especially. we're hunted for our feathers, much like how you're hunted for your wishes. i've had my fair share of dealing with people who wanted to tear my wings out of my back just for the sake of earning fame and it's why i only show my wings to someone i trust with my life." a soft smile tugs at the corners of his lips as he admires the way the bracelet looks on hyunjin's wrist. "this bracelet... aside from the needed hooks and clamps at least, it made out of the barb and afterfeather from a single feather from my wing. it's supposed to bring you luck and protection, so.. i hope you like it, hyunnie." the 'fabric' of the bracelet was white with touches of simmering gold blending in - as such the two colors of his wings.

@felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ "Still," Hyunjin shrugged slightly as he ran he water over Felix's finger with a small pout. "I should have band-aids somewhere," he muttered as he let go of Felix's wrist to look through the cabinet under the sink, crouching down in front of it. He rummaged through the various boxes of hygienic products and whatnot, before pulling out a packet of a cheap version of a first aid kit. He zipped it open and looked through it. "Ah," he exclaimed quietly, pulling out a beige band-aid. "It's clean," he murmured. "Now we dry it," he said again, reaching almost hastily for the towel to dry Felix's small hand, especially the wounded finger. "Now we... uh..." Hyunjin looked around as he placed the towel somewhere, he didn't care where, his thoughts rushing. He knew the steps to treat a wound like that, why couldn't he remember. "Uh... I forgot," he said meekly as he looked at Felix. He knew there should be a step between cleaning the wound and bandaging it up. Biting his lower lip, he just went to put the band-aid on instead. He was missing one step thank to his lack of knowledge in this field. "Uhm... it will sting maybe, for a bit. Papercuts are... well, bad," Hyunjin said and looked at the finger. "There shouldn't be too much blood, though." Once his mind cleared a little from the rush, he looked at Felix with a smile. "It is inevitable one way or another to happen," he said, returning to the topic of his crystal bottle. "There isn't one free imp in the world, not that I know of. And there are still people who hunt the myth... want a wish granted. They just don't know that to obtain the bottle, or me at that, the current owner would have to die. And I'm not dying," Hyunjin said proudly and patted the back of Felix's hand before leading him out the bathroom again.
felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ 3 years ago
@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ the guardian pauses briefly to ponder over the words being spoken to him. it was compelling, yet it was also confusing. granting wishes certainly sounds easy but even felix knows there's consequences to it. granting wishes itself is a very complicated thing to do. felix remains silent while hyunjin shows him the crystal bottle and seems to just... stare at it sadly. "prison," he echoes after a moments of silence, "i know what you mean by that. more than you know." fighting the reminders of his grueling tests that he was forced under by no other that the almighty man himself, felix aims a smile at his friend in hopes it doesn't look strained or forced. "well, your 'owners' are very horrible people. i'm glad that you got a chance to escape it though. i don't ever wish for you to have to experience something like that." the crystal bottle must have been something hyunjin eventually began to fear seeing how much he didn't like to touch it. if only he could do his friend a favor by destroying the bottle or possibly even getting rid of it... however, that is a line he shouldn't cross. it's not his decision to make. staring down at the red liquid forming at the tip of his tongue, the guardian stares down at it in wonder. it's.. oddly warm and interesting to look at. what was it? it's coming from himself - he felt the subtle pain of the cut. before he could ask aloud what it was, he's being dragged off to the bathroom in a hurried rush. "huh? oh, no. no, no. there's no need to apologize, hyunnie. i did this to myself, not you. it's alright," he assures in a gentle voice, free hand reaching out to gently (soothingly) rub at the male's back. "if you don't have a bandaid, i suppose a cloth would do just fine, right?"
hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ 3 years ago
@felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ "Yes," Hyunjin nodded once. "I grant wishes," Hyunjin spoke with a smile which faltered for a moment as he remembered how often he granted wishes that were anything but harmless. "People used to hunt me down to make me their personal wish bank," he rolled his eyes. He reached onto the shelf to pull down a very misplaced crystal bottle that was very clean and fancy, an antique that did not match anything in the messy room, nor the financial status of Hyunjin. "This," he pulled it off and showed it to Felix. "This is my prison," he said with a laugh through gritted teeth. "Used to be. When my... 'owners'," he gagged in disgust, "didn't need me around, they would put me back in here. I spent most of my days in here," he shook the bottle for emphasis. "Until my father got a hold of it forty years ago. Please, don't touch it," Hyunjin said the last sentence in a sincere plea. "I don't know what would happen. It is unlikely for imps to be their own masters. I've never heard of it happening before and I'm scared it would automatically register another being as the master and... yeah. I don't want that," Hyunjin said with dismay obvious in his voice as he placed the crystal bottle back on the shelf. His smile returned as he heard Felix speak to the origami frog, but soon his eyebrows knit together in worry. He looked down to see Felix's finger bleeding. "Oh no," he sighed. With a swift movement, he grabbed Felix's wrist with one hand, while the other took the frog from his palm, placing it on the shelf again. "Come," he muttered, pulling Felix towards the narrow en suite bathroom. "I'm sorry for that," he said with a small voice, feeling guilty. "We'll clean it and I'll give you a... band aid if I can find one," Hyunjin promised, running the tap and sticking Felix's bleeding finger under the running water.
felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ 3 years ago
@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ "to you it may seem like nothing but to me it's not - and that'll conclude this little tidbit." felix deflects with a soft smile, though he does perk up a little at the mention of a wish and looks down at the frog with wide eyes. "a wish..? did you put a wish on it? is that how your magic works?" now that he thinks about it, he never did ask hyunjin what his species was and just how his magic works or if there is any repercussions. felix does want to get to know hyunjin on a more personal level, seeing as they'll be room-mates soon so he feels like it'll only be fair. "i like it, hyunnie, i really do. it's very thoughtful of you to be willing to prepare something like this for me - and i'm hopeful my new friend here will like its new home! you won't be away from your family for long, i promise." the guardian beams down at the tiny frog and reaches up carefully, pressing the tip of his finger against the head of the frog in gentle . he flinches slightly at one particular touch and pulls his finger back, pausing when he sees a tiny little cut on the pad of his finger along with a small spec of red pooling there. eyebrows pinching together, looking both alarmed and confused, felix stares at the cut like it was his first time seeing something like this and didn't know what to make of it. and, truthfully, it was.
hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ 3 years ago
@felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ "It's really nothing. Just a wish and a little bit of papercraft skill. Nothing special really," Hyunjin shrugged, but his face showed nothing but smugness. He knew origami was not an easy skill to pick up, but he had years on years to practice and perfect it. And he loved it. Except the plenty of papercuts he would get. Even when he let the papermen roam freely around his room, he would wake up covered in blanket of paper figures that seemed to like him just as much as every other ordinary person's pet. And the blanket of paper was dangerous sometimes, leaving cuts on unprotected skin, mostly his arms, neck and face. But it never proved to be a problem. "For you. Since our first memory together is a frog, this is a memento of that. And a more personal since I made it with my own hands. But I will make one especially for you," Hyunjin promised. He would. This way, he could appreciate their friendship with such a simple gesture. "Meadow? That's a nice name," he agreed, nodding his head firmly while pouting his lips a little. "Well, Meadow, you won't be separated from your friends for too long. Just as long as we will," Hyunjin spoke to the origami frog as if it truly understood him, meaning that once Hyunjin moved in with Felix, even Meadow would be back with its other paper friends, just as Hyunjin would be with his friend.

@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ "hey, don't dismiss your work like that.. to you, it may just be nothing or something simple but to me, this is astounding. i haven't seen anything like this." the guardian pauses before letting out a small laugh in realization. "oh, right. because i haven't seen much to begin with. regardless, i still stand with what i said." felix emits a low, questioning 'hm?' when he's being turned around, palm facing up and gaze still just as curious and filled with wonder. he gazes down at the frog, which resembled the first frog he had seen in his shop, as his entire face alights in joy. holding the frog delicately in his palms, as if fearful that he might end up dropping it or ruining it, the guardian makes sure that the tiny 'creature' is safe in his hands. "for me? hyunnie, this is gorgeous! thank you so much! i'lll take good care of it!" the smile that wore was boisterous, wide and toothy, as he looks up at the other male. it does soften around the edges while he listens to what hyunjin has to say and his blue irises swell with genuine, warm gratitude. "thank you, hyunnie.. you're very thoughtful. i don't think i can ever thank you enough for how much you've helped me today. sure, what we found wasn't.. what we were looking for but it was an answer. it was an answer i needed to hear." at the mention of the little frog needing a name, felix blinks owlishly for a moment before looking down at the tiny creature in his hands, head tilting to the side. a name? he's never done something like before - and he doesn't know much names to begin with. "meadow," he suggests after a moment of pondering. "i want to name him meadow."
hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ 3 years ago
@felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ "It's nothing," Hyunjin brushed it off as his mind was still racing, trying to find a way to make the other feel better. He reached up on the highest shelf and took off a green frog shaped origami that was hopping around with a rustle. "Here," Hyunjin said, taking his arm off of Felix's shoulders and grasped his wrist, pulling it up, making Felix's palm face up. He placed the frog in Felix's hand. "For you," he said with a smile. "I'll make you one, a proper one. But for now," his smile grew wider, his eyes pushed into crescents by his cheeks. "I don't know how to make you feel better about... all that. I'm... sorry you couldn't find more information about yourself. But I don't want you to be upset because of it. It will be alright," Hyunjin said with pure sincerity in his voice. "No matter what, you can count on me. I might not be able to help you, but I'll be the pillar to support you if you need that." Hyunjin looked in Felix's palm where the green frog was in great contrast with the fair complexion of the guardian. "He needs a name though," Hyunjin said, completely going off topic as he pointed a long finger at the paper frog.
felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ 3 years ago
@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ allowing himself to be guided away from the window, felix obediently follows along with an almost eager buzz under his skin. ever since he first saw a portion of hyunjin's 'magic', he's been utterly fascinated; curious to see what else his friend was capable of. and now that he has the chance to, he's surely going to ask from time to time to see a little bit of his creations. standing in front of the large bookshelf, the guardian is momentarily distracted by all the books and decor that lined the shelves before noticing the small paperman coming out. felix gazes down upon it with wide eyes, which glittered with complete fascination and child-like wonder. for a moment, he just stands there and stares at it before slowly lifting an arm up, pinky finger sticking out to take the little hand in a sort of odd handshake. "wow," comes a murmur from parted lips, focused and intent on studying each papermen in sight. gradually, a smile burns to tug at the corners of his mouth, curling them into his freckled cheeks and making them bunch up, eyes crinkling at the edges. he's smiling so wide, looking so happy and joyous to be able to witness something like this. "this is.. hyunnie, this incredible! oh my goodness, i am so struck by this - you are talented, hyunnie! you're very talented. this is amazing!"
hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ 3 years ago
@felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ His eyes searched the expression of the guardian for a moment. He was still confused. But pursing his lips and smiling, he nodded. If that was what the other wanted, then why not. He moved the hand on Felix's shoulder further, circling his whole arm around his shoulder like he had before when he led them both to his room. This time, he led them to the bookcase with many video games and novels and books. He pointed at the shelves and just then the first paperman started to push its way out from between the thin space between the books. It was the simplest paperman there, a round head, arms and legs also rounded at the edges, there were no fingers or anything, not even a proper face drawn on its face. The paperman stood on the shelf, facing the two boys. "This is the town's elder," Hyunjin said, introducing the animate paperman, who moved his thin arm out for a handshake with a little rustle. "He was my first attempt at this," Hyunjin confessed with a proud smile. "And then there are the others," he said and just motioned to the bookcase altogether as more and more paper figures started coming forth from between books, from behind decoration. The others were more detailed, they had expressive faces and the females and males could be distinguished by their body shapes. On the more densely filled shelf, the more complicated origami figurines started coming forth, dragons, swans, dogs, all kinds of creatures made of paper in a more dimensional form. "This is my papermen ant farm," he said with a tight-lipped smile as he looked from creation to creation.
felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ 3 years ago
@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ with arms folded across his chest in a sort of self-hugging kind of motion, the guardian gazes out of the window in deep thought, watching the snow on the ground and the cars passing by in the distance. there was christmas decor all over the place and just standing there to watch the numerous lights glow marvelously made the tensions in his muscle ease a little. at he least he knows his origins now. at least he knows where his original home was, where he came from, how close-knit his town was. it brings a sense of peace in the crater that formed in his chest but it's not enough to fill it. there's still so many unanswered questions - and it makes his mind travel to that one 'bad idea' that he had discussed earlier with hyunjin; using his own mind as a tool. upon feeling the careful hand on his shoulder, the guardian turns to look up at his friend and offers a soft smile before politely requesting, "show me your magic, hyunnie. the ant farm you mentioned? can i see it?"
hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ 3 years ago
@felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ The imp perks up when Felix moves out of his chair, his dark eyes following the shorter man. He turned lightly to see better, wondering what was going on. "Uhm," he started softly, pushing himself up from his knees, leaning against the desk. "So much for the research," he muttered and glared angrily at the laptop for making his friend upset. "Hey," he asked in the same tiny voice as he walked to stand behind Felix by the window. He had an urge to make a lame comment on the window not being a television or something that would lighten the mood in his perception, but he bit back any remark of that sort. He swallowed harshly in attempt to find his voice again and carefully reached forward, placing a hand on Felix's shoulder. "I... uh... don't know what to do," Hyunjin admitted before biting his lower lip in sudden anxiety. "What-What should I do? How can I help?"
felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ 3 years ago
@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ was this him? was this really him? was the boy who died a painful death actually him? it would make sense. all the pieces fit together. in his mind, the picture is closer to being finished. there's his feeling in his gut, tight and nerve-wrecking as it clenches and grips at him as if telling the guardian that he's not just looking at any piece of history but /his/ history. it's that gnawing feeling back in his head again that causes felix to tighten his grip on the mug, adam's apple bobbing when he swallows thickly. "no." a simple answer. "but that painting... those people in it. they seem familiar. very familiar." that should be enough to conclude that this story, this poor boy involved, pertained around him and his past life. that tiny village in sydney was his home. those villagers who sought justice and angrily marched into the forest after his death were his friends, his allies, his family. the revelation that he had been murdered at the hands of an unknown supernatural being that pretty much tore him apart in a flower field really unsettled him. felix had to create some distance between himself and the laptop, so he carefully sets the mug down and gets to his feet, walking over to the window.
hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ 3 years ago
@felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ Hyunjin nodded, his lips a thoughtful pout, as he turned his head back to the screen. Stories like these would be possibly interpreted differently in today's world, like a myth, legend, or just a scary story for children. He knew about some theorists that enjoyed mysterious, supernatural cases, but the validity could be always questionable. He seriously felt bad for Felix, for being so lost in the world that surrounded them. Hyunjin started considering himself lucky for living actively through so many years and remembered most of the development in the world, despite being kept on a short leash, quite literally. "Did reading that wake some memories for you or none at all?" Hyunjin asked, turning back to Felix again, his eyebrows raised up and his mouth slightly agape in question.
felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ 3 years ago
@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ leaning back in his chair with his hand leaving the mouse in favor of holding the mug with both palms, the angel is silent for several minutes; eyes glued to the screen, pink brims touching the rim of the mug while slowly taking a sip of the warm liquid. "i'm not sure," he murmurs in regards to both questions. "the story fits. the single memory i have, i was in a flower field. i see trees in the background and wolfsbane right in front of me. it fits, it makes sense. i don't want to.. assume and just out-right say it was me but it makes sense. i wish i could have more information about the boy who was killed. however, the rumors of supernatural living in the town were dismissed as crazy talk by a lot of other neighboring towns. the incident was considered an 'embarrassment' and several law authorities burned or shredded key evidence." he takes a breath after taking another sip, liking the way the tea spreads warmth throughout his entire body. "the only piece of identification that i about about the boy was that he was young. a teenager, at most."
hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ 3 years ago
@felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ Hyunjin listened to Felix read the article there, his eyes widening at points, his head bobbed in acknowledgement at points and quiet 'wows' left his mouth at points. It was a devastating story to say the least. It sent shivers down his spine when he heard it was caused by the creatures of a similar kind as his being hated. When Felix stopped, Hyunjin turned his head to look at the guardian, his eyes careful, almost worried. "Are you okay?" he asked in a small voice. "Do you... Do you think the boy... could be you?" Hyunjin asked as cautiously as he could with his big reckless mouth, his eyes big and blinking rapidly. If he didn't know he couldn't read minds, this would definitely come off as an attempt to read Felix's mind.
felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ 3 years ago
@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ felix shifts a little in the chair to get more comfortable and reaches out for the mouse to continue scrolling on the page that he had clicked on, other hand reaching out for the tea that hyunjin had kindly prepared. "oh, thanks for the tea by the way. it smells lovely." he quickly adds upon realizing he never thanked the other male due to his excitement. holding the mug of tea close to his chest in a sweater paw, fingertips just barely peeking out of the sleeve, felix keeps his gaze locked on the screen. "it's not matter of species. my accent has stuck with me throughout all these years despite everything happening. i just never considered that it'd be a key factor to help me distinguish where i resided in the past. as far as what i found, i found a lot, actually. historical events, key figures, things of that sort. but.. this bit caught my attention." felix spares a glance to hyunjin, as if silently telling him to brace himself, then returns his attention to the laptop before reading aloud; "'a small village in sydney australia had discovered the mangled body of a young boy that appeared to have been killed by a large animal. while authorities labeled the incident as a freak accident, the villagers demanded justice and answers. the murder had caused an almost riot in the village, where the townspeople gathered late one night armed with weapons that were tainted with wolfsbane as they marched into the woods where the boy had been attacked so that they could find his killer.'" and then he's silent right after, eyes lingering on the paragraph and the old vintage painting depicting a large group of people with pitchforks, swords, and torches storming the forest. "it.. seems this boy's death caused a bit of a revolution. rumors of supernatural beings had always plagued the forest however people still entered because of the large flower garden that resided in the middle of the forest. the villagers used it to grow herbs and medicine. no harm was done to the people who entered until the boy's death and it seemed that sparked the village to.. burn the entire forest down and drive out all the wildlife there."

@felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ Hyunjin's eyes shift from the laptop to Felix and back again once they are side by side at the desk like before. Well, that was definitely not a fatherly touch, Hyunjin decided and let the air out through his nose, pursing his lips into a grimace that showed his dimples. He knelt down on the floor, hs elbows and forearms were on the desk, chin on the back of his hands. "I knew you sounded foreign. I just thought you were... like, it was a... you know, a matter of species or something like that," Hyunjin spoke, not a trace of the embarrassment evident in neither his voice nor his mannerism. As soon as he realized, the on his back was nothing like his father used to give him; which was mostly an encouraging pat, very fatherly; his brain had an epiphany. A new research of his own. "Have you found something?"

@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ "you don't? are you sure? because i have a tendency to ask a lot of questions when i get overly curious about something. i heard not a lot of people like a lot of questions, especially if they're back to back." felix emit a low, thoughtful hum before moving his head in a slow nod. "understandable. if i ever ask a question that you're not comfortable answering, don't hesitate to let me know, okay? i'll drop the subject entirely so i don't risk offending you." the sudden, unexpected jerk in response to his touch has felix jumping a little in surprise. he stares up at hyunjin with circassian eyes that are wide, showing a mixture of confusion, shock, and a little hurt. his eyebrows pinch together and his head tilts to the side slightly in silent question of what was wrong. did the guardian do something wrong? was his touch unwelcome? before he could verbally ask, the research is brought up and even though felix could see the awkward strain, he chooses not to ask. "oh, uh.. yeah. yeah, uhm--" the angel pulls away quickly, gaze averting elsewhere as he moves back to the chair. "--australia. i've had comments on my accent so i wanted to start there."

@felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ "I don't mind questions," Hyunjin responded lightheartedly, a breath of contentment and almost relief escaped his lungs. It was definitely one of the nicest things he had experienced, despite it not being necessarily on his infamous bucket list. "Well, most of them. Certain topic are... well... not... my cup of tea," he snickered almost awkwardly. The hand that ran over his shoulder blade made him shiver, not in a bad way, but it was a sensation he didn't know could exist. He felt his skin form goosebumps and jerked back slightly more violently than he intended to. His face was the epitome of an awkward smile, his hands gripping Felix's shoulders to put a safe distance between them. The reaction was something... he didn't know how to explain. It was nice, but too confusing. Although, not all that unfamiliar... Hyunjin urgently cleared his throat and smoothed down the front of his shirt to bury every emotion deep inside where they belonged. "So... Australia, huh?" his voice came out heavy as his eyes caught the screen of his laptop that had a page open with letters in bold informing him of the search of the history of Australia and the exact year Felix was researching.

@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ happiness was a fickle thing, felix had come to realize; it comes and goes like the morning tide. but if there is one thing that he notices it sticks to the most, at least when it comes to himself, it's the wondrous curiosity of physical affection and the way it makes him feel so... enriched, almost. so warm, joyous, and content. the guardian never knew he'd fancy something like this - then again he never thought he'd ever return to earth. the world works in mysterious and cunning ways. felix laughs quietly against hyunjin's shoulder, not making a single move to pull back from the embrace, and jests in a light tone; "and i have to warn you, i ask questions. a lot of questions - and i'm way too curious for my own good. i'm more than willing to put up with all of that and more if you are. besides, i did mean it when i said i wanted to see more of your magic." he could feel the shift in his companion's weight and wasn't at all deterred by it. instead, felix smiles against the fabric of his shirt and smooths a warm hand against his shoulder-blade as if to offer some comfort.

@felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ Hyunjin hesitates for a second but returns the hug just as tight, mirroring the affection of the other as he doesn't know any better. His smile grows as well, so broad and wide that his eyes disappear into crescents. His system went warmer, like the endearment of the moment washed through him like a tidal wave. Did he ever experienced a hug like this? He couldn't recall. Not to mention the happiness that radiated from the guardian. "But... I have to warn you," Hyunjin started talking, his arms not moving an inch. "I'm messy and I talk a whole lot. I have a collection of walking and loving papermen that I won't leave behind and I can't cook. I'm a walking disaster on purpose, so... if you're willing to put up with that then we're good," Hyunjin spoke as he went completely lax in the hug, turning into a jelly as if leaning his whole body weight onto the smaller guardian for support. It felt nice without a doubt.

@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ felix finds himself gawking at the taller male, brain a little slow when it comes to processing this bit of information. the offer still stood, of course it did, though he was honestly still surprised that hyunjin made an effort to accept it. the second it all seems to process and piece together in his mind, the shift in felix's demeanor completely shifts. the corners of his mouth slowly pull up in a beaming smile, cheeks bunching and nose scrunching slightly. nothing but pure joy glitters in his blue orbs as he smiles so wide and happy at the other male. "yes. yes! yes! of course it still stands! of course!" without even an ounce of hesitation, or even much thought, the angel leaps up from his chair and flings his smaller frame into hyunjin's chest, arms around his neck in a tight embrace. he's just... he's so happy - he can't really put it into words. and he's smiling so wide that his freckled cheeks are beginning to hurt. felix does the only thing that he can think of, which was to hug his one and only friend (and soon to be room-mate) with a small squeal-like noise of excitement. "i'm so happy you accepted, hyunnie! i honestly didn't think you would--but i'm happy you did!"

@felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ The kettle is old and slow, making the boiling happen after a few minutes only. In the mean time, the imp prepares two mugs separately, for a tea and for a coffee. Hyunjin finishes making the tea and a coffee for himself. He carries both mugs over to his desk, placing a graphic mug of some cartoon characters in front of Felix. He looks at the other with wide, surprised eyes before smiling. "Yeah... if the offer still stands," he says, still hopeful. "I can't let you just live on your own," he starts in a joking manner, "who would scold you for going out into the snow in your socks only? And eating a whole bucket of ice cream at once? Unacceptable," Hyunjin doesn't hold back a laugh with that. He was joking, but he was also advised before to take on a roommate since he is suffering from lack of company. Imps are like that, love being the center of attention and surrounded by people that give them the benefit of that. It might sound selfish at some point, but having a common interest in having company on daily basis, he didn't think too much about it. He puts his coffee on the desk, lowering himself down to a crouch, gripping the edge of the desk with one hand for support, while his other elbow rests on the armrest of the chair Felix sits on. "Have you found anything?" he asks, eyes darting from the laptop screen to Felix's face with a tiny hint of a smile.

@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ leaning forward to prop his elbow on the desk, cheek resting in his palm, felix's gaze remained fixated on the information being displayed to him. there was so much and he was quite relieved to know this. he has a brief idea on where he originally hailed from due to his thick accent garnering a lot of comments. apparently, from what people had suspected, felix was originally from a country called australia. so that was the next step; looking up the history of australia for the year 1216. "what? oh," felix blinks a little as watches hyunjin leave in a rush and stares at the door with a confused expression, "okay-- be back soon?" he says this to thin air before sitting there patiently, awaiting for his companion's return before continuing his search. while hyunjin was gone, felix does take the chance to peer around the room curiously. it doesn't seem to take the other male long, for he's returning a few moments later wearing a gleeful look. the comment about moving out, however, has the angel pausing when he was going to turn back to the laptop. "you're moving out?" the confusion on his face is subtle as the realization gradually begins to dawn on him - and soon, he realizes just what hyunjin means. "w-wait, you-- you accept my offer? you want to move in with me?"
