Werewolf Territory

@Sunggyu_Werewolf Zico set the table rather quickly, pulling two glasses down and setting them on the counter with a thoughtful frown. "Do you drink alcohol? I'm going to get some wine from the cellar and want to know if you like anything in particular."

@Zico_AlphaWerewolf "Of course I can handle it." Sunggyu told him with a snort and took hold of the handle of the pan, shaking it to stir up the ingredients sizzling inside. It smelled wonderful and his stomach ached in anticipation. Leaving the pan to sizzle for another moment, the younger wolf quickly went to get the rice from the pan that had been boiling away on the fire.

@Sunggyu_Werewolf "So would you," Zico teased as Sunggyu pulled away. He shifted to the side and focused on the food then, throwing in the last of the ingredients as listening to them sizzle in the pan. "Can you handle the last of this? I'm going to go set the table."

@Zico_AlphaWerewolf Sunggyu chuckled softly as he watched Zico multitask out of the corner of his eye, stirring their food that he'd almost completely forgotten about. Somehow the action brought them closer, though, and a blush rose into the younger man's cheeks when Zico brushed against him. Damn, his body just kept betraying him today. "You'd like that a bit too much."

Feeling the gentle bump of Zico's nose against his own, Sunggyu's smiled contentedly, his eyes crinkling. It just felt so natural being close to him and despite it being a little scary, he didn't want to give it up. "Mm, our food is going to burn if we keep this up." He whispered after a long moment, nuzzling his cheek affectionately against Zico's in a way a wolf might before he pulled back.

@Sunggyu_Werewolf "Then I'd just have to give you CPR," Zico shrugged, nonchalance laced in his tone as one hand reached for the pan of sizzling food and stirred the mix around a bit. His cheek brushed Sunggyu's during the actions, a wide smile on his lips when he finished and shifted back into his original position. "I might even have to give you mouth to mouth."

Zico stayed quiet after Sunggyu's comment, thinking to himself quietly as he leaned in and gently bumped noses with the shorter wolf a couple times. It was an action that'd make more sense if they were in wolf form, but Zico did it nonetheless.

@Zico_AlphaWerewolf ((sorry this is so late. I at life recently))

Swallowing hard, Sunggyu tried to force his body to behave itself, but Zico wasn't exactly making it easy with the way his arms wrapped snuggled around his waist. It felt good in so many ways to be that close to him, like it was the most natural thing in the world, and it overwhelmed him a bit. "I could be having a heart attack. You might be killing me." He joked, hands stroking the bare skin of Zico's arms slowly before he trailed them up to wrap his arms around his neck to return the embrace.

"Not to mention the good company." He murmured shyly and met the other's unique eyes, finally daring to bring up the real reason why he'd chosen to stay. All the other things were nice, but having someone like Zico to come home to was the deal breaker.

@Sunggyu_Werewolf "Not right now though," Zico hummed, letting his hand slide from Sunggyu's hip to wrap his arm around his waist. He could feel Sunggyu's heart racing, yet again, and chuckled a bit as his other arm came around to hug the shorter more firmly. "You're flutters as fast as a hummingbird's, I think."

There were words neither were speaking, Zico felt. He rubbed his thumb gently against Sunggyu's side when he shivered, smiling as the younger shifted as if to kiss him. "The border between Lesarya and the outside is only just beyond, I guess this is the best option."

Before he even heard Zico's mocking words, Sunggyu felt his heart begin to patter erratically as the older man approached him and he silently cursed himself when it only cemented the other's words as fact. He closed his eyes as he leaned into the warmth of Zico's body, trying to control the more embarrassing effects he had on him. "Don't pretend like being this close doesn't have an affect on you, too." He teased, resting his hands gently on the bare skin of Zico's upper arms. "I remember someone's heart beating to rival mine earlier."

/We/. He didn't know why, but hearing Zico say that sent shivers up his spine. Sure, it may not have any implications other than them building an oven together, but the baker liked the sound of it nonetheless. After all, it wasn't like he'd even asked for Zico to help him with it. Smiling in a way that made his eyes crinkle, Sunggyu tilted his head up and gently brushed his nose along Zico's cheek, making like he was going to kiss him but pulling away a moment before their lips brushed. "Well, since it's closer to the market, I guess that's the best option." He agreed playfully, but in truth he was staying for the other werewolf. Distance was not a big issue for him and he was sure Zico knew that.

@Sunggyu_Werewolf "Really now," Zico hummed, a smirk on his lips as he tossed the ingredients into the pan to cook. As they popped and sizzled, he made his way over to Sunggyu and, with slight hesitation, placed a hand on his hip and rested his head against the younger's with a soft sigh of contentment. "Because, if memory serves, its you who's heart races which would make me think that you're warmer than I am most of the time."

In all truths, he didn't want to Sunggyu to leave. To be alone again, like he'd been the past forty years? No. He wanted Sunggyu to stay with him, whether he was just his Beta or just a step above that. "In any case, this is the only cabin I've built within reasonable distance of the market. If you wanted to, after we build the oven, you could try selling bread there."

Sunggyu felt an uncomfortable knot settle in his stomach at the topic, staring a little too hard into the fireplace when he brought the pan of water over to boil. The thought of moving out really hadn't crossed his mind again, but he still didn't want to be a burden. Besides, who knew if what had happened between them would even really change anything in the long run... Still, his place was by Zico's side whether he was just his Beta or maybe even a little more than that.

"I think I'm getting addicted to you keeping me warm at night so I might just have to stay." He answered after a moment with a hint of a smile in his voice.

@Sunggyu_Werewolf "That depends," Zico hummed, chopping up ingredients. The smell was strong and his eyes watered so much that he had to step back, coughing a bit before wiping his eyes. He offered Sunggyu a sheepish smile and shrug before continuing. "That depends on if you're going to stay here with me or not. You wanted to move because you thought you were being a burden, right? I'm fine with you staying, but if you want to move into one of my other cabins you should build the oven there."

@Zico_AlphaWerewolf Sunggyu hummed in approval and settled down at the kitchen table, watching Zico bustle around to begin cooking. The last time someone had cooked for him seemed like forever ago. While he was traveling a woman had been nice enough to let him stay in her attic for a few days and she made the best traditional food. It was people like her who still gave him hope that things weren't all that bad in the world. Zico was also one of those people.

"Lemme help." He murmured and joined the older wolf in the kitchen, setting out a pot for some rice. "Speaking of cooking. I've been meaning to ask. Would you mind if I built a brick oven out back? Though, you're probably sick of bread now, huh?"

@Sunggyu_Werewolf "Bulgogi then," Zico hummed, wandering around the kitchen collecting the necessary ingredients before flicking on the stove top.

@Zico_AlphaWerewolf Securing his pajama pants on his hips, Sunggyu turned to smile as Zico walked in and gave a small shrug. He was hungry enough that he could eat anything at this point. "Do we have any meat left?" He asked as he moved toward the kitchen. "I'm fine with something simple as long as there's meat."

@Sunggyu_Werewolf Zico stilled when Sunggyu's fingers brushed along his bare skin, turning his head to watch the younger wolf walk out before resuming his digging. He unceremoniously kicked off his jeans whilst tugging on a black muscle shirt, retrieving gray sweats from a pile and stepping into them as he wandered into the main part of the house. "What do you want to eat?"

@Zico_AlphaWerewolf Admiring Zico from his perch on the bed, Sunggyu reluctantly clambered out of the prison of comfy covers. He was still in his outfit from earlier, a baggy t-shirt and jeans, but figured it was late enough to slip into something more comfortable. "I'll see you out there." He murmured with a smile, letting his fingertips brush against Zico's back as he moved to the door. He went to the little storage room where he kept some of the new clothes he'd bought and slipped into a pair of cotton pajama bottoms.

@Sunggyu_Werewolf "I know," Zico snorted, running his fingers through his own hair in a halfhearted attempt to get it back up into the fauxhawk he usually wore. He stretched out his back, groaning softly when his spine /pop/ped and rolling his shoulders a few times before digging into his drawers for a shirt.

@Zico_AlphaWerewolf Sunggyu enjoyed the last moment of closeness with Zico, wondering when reality would crash in and part them. Still, when the other man pulled back with a gentle kiss against his neck, he didn't feel like that was the end of what had passed between them and that was comforting enough for now.

"Mm, yeah, I'm starving. We slept through normal dinner time." He chuckled and brushed his messy hair back into place, light bangs hanging down just above his eyes. It emphasized his round face more than when he styled it up, making him look younger, but it wasn't like he really paid attention to style anyway.

@Key_DarkFairy "Well I didn't realize it was such a big deal for fairies," Zico frowned, stuffing his hands into his pockets and his back hunching over a bit. "You probably smell my Beta, he lives with me right now. I've got a proper pack of sorts starting now I guess."

@Zico_AlphaWerewolf "Allow me to spell things out for you. I almost slept with you, and when a fairy chooses someone to sleep with, it's not simply a one night stand. I like the way you smell, but you started smelling like putrid wet dog.you carry someone else's scent. It violates my nose." Key had thoughts of starting a fight, but being a fairy, an evil one to be exact, other plans came to mind...more devious ones. "Who is it?" he asked with a devilish smirk.

@Key_DarkFairy Zico swung his leg out and spun on his heel to control his balance at the sudden loss of Key's weight, facing the other with a frown as he watched the orb swell in Key's hand. "I don't know what you think, but nothing has really changed. I'm still myself, and you hardly know me so i don't know what you want from me."

@Zico_AlphaWerewolf Key's eyes narrowed and his instincts kicked in, unhooking his legs from Zico and swiftly putting his feet on the werewolf's back and kicking off the man. He controlled his jump by calmly silting his body backwards into a flip, landing on his feet gracefully, as he were a human cat. "You've changed. You're harsh, and rude. More than the werewolf I met earlier. I don't like this one, I prefer the you that I could stand." Key waved his hands rhythmically in front of him with a scowl, his pinkish orb forming. "What happened?"

@Sunggyu_Werewolf "You do too," Zico mumbled, rubbing their noses together in an eskimo kiss before hooking his chin over the younger's uninjured shoulder and letting out a long, slow breath. He didn't really know what to say, he'd only ever properly courted one girl in his life and had to bury her a week after he'd asked her father for her hand.

Zico, disgruntled by thoughts of his past, pressed a kiss to Sunggyu's neck and pulled back, ruffling his hair slightly before standing up. "C'mon, lets eat something."

@Key_DarkFairy "I never had a pack that wanted me to join so there were never any orders for me to take," Zico answered roughly, sidestepping a rabbit hole as his nose twitched.

@Zico_AlphaWerewolf Feeling Zico's arm snake around his waist, Sunggyu let the man pull him closer and released his hand so he could wind his arms around his neck. His shoulder ached a little in protest, but it was quickly pushed to the back of his mind in favor of holding the elder. He could feel the warmth of Zico's body radiating through his shirt and hear his heart beating in rapid time with his own as he lost himself in the slow, sensual kiss.

Running his fingers through the short, blonde hair at the base of Zico's neck, he nipped gently at his lower lip before he pulled back, resting his forehead against the other wolf's. “Mm… You feel good this close.” He hummed, a shy smile on his lips.

@Zico_AlphaWerewolf "You don't. Trust me if you did I wouldn't even give you the time of day." Key sighed and laid his head on Zico's shoulder, just relaxing into the ride. "You're not a dog Zico. A dog follows orders and does so without care of the reason why simply because his master told him to. You're no dog."

@Sunggyu_Werewolf Zico rubbed a thumb over Sunggyu's knuckles after their fingers laced, the hand in the younger's hair pulling away to wrap around his waist instead. When the other's tongue flicked against his own he shifted on the bed, legs uncrossing to let one hang off the edge of the bed as he hugged Sunggyu closer. His bare chest pressed against the other's shirt, fabric smooth and the younger's heart racing. Not to say that Zico's wasn't beating a little faster than usual too.

@Zico_AlphaWerewolf Something in Sunggyu had been craving this intimacy with Zico, it had always been trapped just beneath the skin, and now that it was bubbling to the surface he couldn't ever imagine caging it back up. Reaching up, he gently took Zico's hand from his shoulder and laced their fingers together, somehow trying to assure him it was alright, that he had nothing to be sorry for. A soft hum caught in his throat when he felt the brush of his tongue and he parted his lips, flicking his tongue against the older man's invitingly.

@Sunggyu_Werewolf One of Zico's hands continued the fiddle a bit with Sunggyu's hair as the other came up and rested next to the younger's wound. He brushed the edge of the bandage softly, apologetically, as he leaned in closer and let his tongue slide across Sunggyu's lower lip.
