She'd been asking for things, specifically for him. And he'd gone and gotten so careless that he'd hurt her the way he had. Cassidy was just drunk enough for that thought not to sting, but he still felt it, like a weight on his chest. He sat down next to her on the bed.

He let a short silence pass, just the two of them sitting there. He wasn't certain how to start, either.

"Eve read me the riot act over the tomes earlier." In case she didn't know. "Called me a whole bucket full o' names. Probably deserved it..."

Or maybe it had been flowers. That was the real kicker — not knowing how much he really had to feel responsible for. Not knowing how much his feelings had really been his. Could he ever trust himself, in this place?

Or would he have to accept responsibility for all of it, no matter what the actual cause?

"Airy, I'm so sorry."

She settled against him, and some part of Cassidy breathed an internal sigh of relief while another part of him got even tenser than he already was. He'd expected her to still be angry. He hadn't expected contact like that so soon. He wasn't sure what it meant.

Though from the sound of it, she didn't either.

He didn't say anything while she spoke, but by the time she met his eyes with hers, his feelings were written all over his face. Hopefully, he still loved her? She'd thought he was over them?

At first, he just shook his head. He needed a second to start putting the words together.

"No... no, there was nothin' emotional about it. About what I wrote." Which maybe wasn't the point? But was maybe a place to start from, and eventually get to the point. "It was just... bloody urges."

The explanation felt inadequate. It was also the best he had.

"I honestly don't know where they came from. Haven't gone traipsin' out in the Wilds lately, but it's not as if I was writin' kinky personals on a whim back on Earth. And not like we can't get hit from inside the castle. I should've at least stopped to have more of a think about it..."

He felt like he was rambling now, stringing thoughts together without any clear end point in mind. What was really important, here?

"My feelin's haven't changed for 'ya. I don't know a lot, especially not at the moment, but I know that. And I never meant to make you feel as if you were bein' used. Never."

"Yes." Cassidy slapped a hand down on his own knee. "Ground rules. Absolutely, we should."

It was a more subdued pronouncement than others she'd heard from him. He had a feeling that too much enthusiasm could be read as flippancy, here.

He was also doing his best to ignore the sense of twisting in his gut that had started when she'd talked about loving the idea of her. That all circled back around to not being able to trust himself. That was the problem, and he'd rather focus on the solution. Rules. Guidelines. Those, he could trust.

"For the record, I did think of 'ya." Maybe not in the way she'd wanted, so... "Dunno if that makes it worse. Say I had called you up, though. Said I'd had a spar with this warrior woman the other day. Nothin' sexual happened —" he added quickly, "— that was just straight brawlin'. But it put all these ideas in me head that I can't bloody shake. What would you have said?"

If he'd done things right, followed the rules as they were being proposed. How would it have gone down?

No sleeping with close friends. “Sure,” he agreed, before realizing he needed to clarify — “Who d’you consider close?” Eve, obviously, but was there anyone else?

He turned the reverse question over in his mind. Who did he consider close friends by now? Shade. Matthew, sort of. Shade was too much of a decent sort to sleep with another man’s girl on purpose. If he and Airy ever wound up in a flower situation, Cassidy wouldn’t like it, but he could easily imagine his way to forgiving them. Matthew... was a more complicated situation to begin with, but Cassidy found he wasn’t altogether worried about Airy sleeping with him, either — or what might happen if she did. Maybe because Cassidy himself had gotten well-fucked by the other vampire. That felt like part of the reason, anyway, if not the whole of it.

And then she mentioned the both of them soliciting for each other, and that brought him all the way out of his thoughts.

“You would do that?” It sounded surprisingly appealing. A way to concede some of the realities of this place while signaling that they belonged to one another.

"I wasn't tryin' t—" go behind your back, but he shut himself up mid-mumble, and she was continuing on anyway. He was going to have to get over that. Whatever he'd been trying to do or not, it had been a bad move.

You matter more to me than anything else. Cassidy's eyes dropped down to the bottle he was holding, to his hands, and the moth tattoo. Currently, it was motionless.

As Airy did go on, though, a tentative smile started to appear on his face, as well. She was talking rules about threesomes. What sort of couple ever had conversations like this? No couple that Cassidy had ever been a part of, anyway.

"You wanna have more threesomes." It wasn't quite a question, and almost amused. He turned the smile, wavering though it was, in her direction. "I mean. I could certainly see my way to that. Dependin' on the other person."

He looked back to his feet, for a second, and another question occurred to him.

"What about people we've already slept with? I mean. No open solicitation, that's a done deal, but. Are we leavin' out them as well?"

His hands twisted a little around the neck of the bottle. It felt like a cruel question to ask — also necessary.

She'd assumed correctly. He'd been seeing other people here and there, and likewise, he'd assumed that whatever happened in the days in between when they saw each other... just happened. He didn't need to know the name of the friend she had helped out. It felt better that way.

"Y'know, Eve said summat else... she said a lot of things, and mostly shouted 'em, but. There was one thing in particular. She said I wasn't treatin' this like the real world." His hands twisted on the bottle again — drunk or not, he still found that part frustrating. "Which it's not, by the way. Absolutely none of this is bloody normal. Between the flowers and the fairies... gettin' rewarded for sexy behavior, honestly, it's like livin' inside a bloody circus."

But.

"I love you, too." He lifted his eyes to her. "And I've not been actin' like it. All that, it's — a reason, maybe, but it's no excuse."

He was getting rambly again. He'd been sure there was a point to all this a moment ago. What was it?

"Dunno if I trust myself to be makin' any of the rules, here." That was it. She'd said a part of it was up to him, but his judgment was skewed. He shrugged. "You got other people you're involved with — if it's just sex — I mean, I'd rather not be privy to the details, but you don't have to stop."

"In a perfect world, y'mean."

He sat up straighter and curled an arm around her waist, pulling her sideways to lean against him. It was sure gesture without any hesitation, but it was also no more than that. Not unless she wanted it to be.

"We learn. Exactly. Just that." That's what they did. "I'll be fine followin' the rules, right? Long as we both know what they are."

He was starting to feel like they were talking in circles. That might be the drink. But they'd made some progress since starting the conversation. No open advertising on the tomes. That was Rule One. Any new, strange urges, they would both turn to each other first. That was Rule Two. They just needed the next in-road to keep going.

Something else Eve had said came drifting back through Cassidy's mind. Airy avoided conversations like this. She was afraid of making her feelings known before the fact.

He raised the hand holding the bottle, with the index finger extended, pointing at her. "But you gotta be okay with tellin' me what's what, all right? Bein' in love's a bit like goin' down on someone; it's always better if you're not just wingin' it."

He hadn't planned on making that comparison, but. It happened. And suddenly he was having very intrusive thoughts about kissing her between her thighs.

Strange. He'd never been that excited about performing oral before.

It might seem a little weird. “It’s all weird,” Cassidy interjected, figuring he’d find no argument there. His arm tightened around her slightly, his hand squeezing her shoulder soothingly.

“If you’re goin’ to be my keeper...” there was something close to a smile, there. He was liking that idea more and more. Experimenting with it, Cassidy let the smile grow, and turned it toward Airy to see what she thought about it. “Lettin’ other people know, well, that only makes sense.”

And then they were moving on to other topics. While Cassidy schooled his expression into one of matter-of-factness, the smile stayed in his eyes.

“That’s more or less true. Work the shaft, plenty of tongue, don’t bite down. Get a little ball-squeeze in, if you can manage. Whereas the female anatomy, that can be like a damn puzzle box.”

He grazed his teeth across his lower lip.

“Though I wouldn’t mind you showin’ me.” Now. Sometime. Whenever. Though if he was honest, he was hoping for now.

She might not have waited, but he replied anyway -- his voice low and husky as he shifted his hips to give her better access. "Readin' me mind, there, love."

This felt better. Maybe they weren't done talking about the rules and all that, but this felt like the right thing to be doing in the moment. They needed to be doing something other than just talking, for a while.

And he was already imagining what it would be like to taste her.

Cassidy watched with as much attention as he could spare in his half-drunk state. He was semi-hard already by the time Airy was lowering her lips to his cock — between her actions and his own imagination of what was going to come later, she’d be able to feel him swell inside her mouth.

He wished he had something to smoke. Always liked having something to do with his own mouth while he was getting head. She’d said there was weed... he thought about asking for it, but that would mean interrupting her, and if it wasn’t already rolled into joints, that would mean even more of an interruption.

Anyway, he already had the whiskey on hand.

“Oh, Christ,” he breathed, before lifting the bottle and taking a solid pull, relishing the way it burned down his throat.

“See there.” He met her eyes with his, let his smile get lazy. “You’re a natural.”

Cassidy wouldn’t have been able to count the number of blowjobs he’d gotten, but that didn’t matter right now. This one was better because it was her.

Why shouldn’t it be? If he really loved her after all.

He raised his free hand to brush the hair away from her forehead — gently, his fingertips barely brushing past her skin.

“And you look so lovely right now.”

Cassidy let out a hard breath that ended with a groan. He curled his hand into a loose fist in her hair, a little tug of appreciation before he settled his hand back on the mattress for balance.

"Oh, fuck."

With a thought, his heart started pumping, and he thought of how he'd gotten the tattoo for her — how the motivation for getting it had been, in part, about keeping her safe. And connecting with her.

He lifted the bottle for another swig, but he had to take this one slow. Her mouth was making it difficult to focus on anything else.
