Octavius and Saeyong

"My knight in shining armor." He teases about Saeyong both mentioning that he will be around more often, while also protecting him as the "boyfriend". Internally, he can admit that it would be nice to see Saeyong defending his honor against the rabid coworker and boss who have been harassing him. Maybe they knew that they could get away with things because Avi was clearly someone with issues and just didn't want any trouble. People like them tend to take advantage when a person is at their lowest point.

Cas snaps his fingers before motioning in Sae's direction as he looks at Marcellus. "See? What did I tell you before? Experience can be helpful! I will know what red flags to look for now that I have had experience in dealing with trashy guys." While Avi knows that Saeyong has probably learned that firsthand himself, he doesn't look put off or judgmental towards him either. While he did offhandedly mention it to Masumi earlier in bitterness, it wasn't from a place of malice. More like him being jealous because he wanted to have Saeyong's attention and at the time felt like he was being rejected when Saeyong pulled away. Now, he's glad they were able to resolve that bit easily so he could have the chance to enjoy something like this now. It feels nice to have his arm around the man so he can hold him closer.

He was content to watch his brothers bicker more about why Marc feels uncomfortable for Cas, but then Saeyong speaks up again and all eyes are back on him. By the end of it, it feels like all eyes are on him as his ears feel like they are burning and his arm pulls Sae in closer. Is he 100% sure that it was about him? No, but Sae looking his way after what he just said makes him feel a little flustered and hopeful. "That's...very insightful advice." Masumi tries and fails not to chuckle as Cas agrees with Avi but starts to nudge Marcellus with a grin. Clearly they are finding some enjoyment in their brother's flustered appearance right now.

Anneyong! I’m 준 새용 || I'm feeling hopeful || I'm speaking to Avi, his friend and family || Where am I? Octavius' house || What am I wearing? My attempt at respectful - gloomy

Saeyong flipped his hair with pride at the man's teasing, flexing his muscles that needed work. "Of course I am." he said as he added to his little whim of pride. He did understand how their actions caused him trouble, and how they were wrong too, troubling a poor man. Not that he was much different, but he didn't intend to harm him. He would how ever, switch to the hero's role if it meant keeping that smile on his face and the ease his mind was at. Who said he couldn't have fun doing that?

Saeyong looked a tad bur startled when the man pointed his finger at him, though quickly realizing it wasn't something bad. "Yes, but there's also the negative things that come with it. So, you might want to put yourself first and cut it off before it starts to become bothersome for you." he'd add. While there were pros to living the life he did, there were many cons with it. Saeyong knew that he wasn't easy to submit to feelings of self-doubt and hurt, but he too felt them when he least expected them. He never knew sometimes when the emotional pain could become crippling.

For the moment, having all eyes on him did make goosebumps raise on his skin, unsure if that was good or bad - since he had both being in show-business. Though, he focused on what he had to say and looked over at his special person and had a little smile that grew on his face. He might have understood his doubt but his action simply made him move his free hand over for an embrace. "I say it as I see it, and I think I'm happy with it this way." he added, maybe assuring him in riddle that he was happy being around him and learning more about him. He enjoyed even more his flustered face as he found himself leaning against him, like he didn't want this warmth to disappear. The warmth that came from seeing him smile and flustered like that, which might have actually given him butterflies.

Even though they are teasing each other, he does find himself enjoying the idea that Sae would be defending him. Though Avi can easily be confrontational, he tends to not be to avoid anyone getting close to him and potentially touching him in any way. "Just make sure you don't let them say anything offensive towards you. Defending me is one thing, but I won't take you getting insulted because they are nasty people." He already knows that they can be catty to anyone that pisses them off. He's had customers flirt with him and immediately heard the other two being nasty to the very same people before.

Cas waves off the man's concern when Marcellus is the one to motion to Sae now. "I already know. I haven't tried to date for awhile anyways. There hasn't been a good options around anyways. Every good option seems to be married or straight. Boring." Avi doesn't really see that as great reassurance, but his focus is on Sae and making sure that he shows with a firm hand on his lower back that he supports him. He is sure there is a reason that Sae has had to use that mask for so long now. He wagers part of it is the experiences he is trying to give Cas advice on right now.

They seemed to be satisfied with that answer and everyone is about done with their food now, so Cas gets up and drags Marc along with himself to clean off their plates. Masumi watches them go and glances at the two before smiling and standing up to take his phone from his pocket. "I am going to check in with Carter and Utsuru before I shower. Let them know that we got here okay." After he leaves, though he doesn't want to get up and away from the man, Avi presses another kiss to Saeyong's head before he stands to gather plates and start the clean up. When he has everything ready to take to the kitchen, he looks at the man. "I think everyone will start washing up now before maybe another movie. Do you...want to join me? I can lend you some clothes. Though, they might be big on you."

Saeyong would have no problem being confrontational, though sure he'd have to make sure he doesn't do anything to affect the man's work. He raised a brow from the man's words before he smiled and shook his head, dismissing his concerns. "Don't you worry darling, there's nothing they can say that I've never heard. And if they do, I know I have a knight to save the day." he adds with a playful wink to imply Avi. If anything, their attitude would just pose as a challenge to the man and push him to act up even more. Ah, how exciting!

The thought made him chuckle to himself, it was sure a problem but nothing he wouldn't overcome. Especially with the right support, it seemed like a good thing that he was going to try to be careful. His attention shifted to Avi when he'd feel his hand on his back, a small smile drew on his lips as he thought for a moment, something he heard a person tell him off about once - that nobody would like someone so tainted and would probably be disgusted by him. He never dwelled on it as much as he started to now, seeing that he was finding the man's company too enticing to part from.

With everyone moving and gathering the dishes to clean, his attention shifted over to Avi briefly before he nodded to Masumi, "Carter and Utsuru?" he asked in a hushed tone, unsure if he was informed of them before and he forgot but he decided to pry anyways. His eyes lit up from the kiss to his forehead, his hands followed the other's motion and cleared the place up with him. "Depends, do I get to keep them if I like them?" he asked, his tone playful as he leaned against his arm a little, wiggling his brows as he showed no remorse with the thought. It was his clothes after all, they'd have traces of him in smell and feel, so why not?

Avi would have to learn to be more confrontational in ways that didn't lead to violence. Most of the time he had to be confrontational, it was to protect his brothers, or when his father made him hurt them. After the control slipped, well, it became obvious to those around him that he will avoid anything that would cause him to socialize. At least, until Saeyong waltzed into that library. It's funny how a lot of his major life changes involve a library in some way. "Regardless of whether or not you have heard it, I don't want people like that to say those things to you." Not when Saeyong told him a little about himself and implied that he lived a life where he was controlled for a time like Avi.

Saeyong has made it clear he's had experiences one way or another, and that wasn't something which bothered Avi. All he can see is the man showed up when he was having a hard time, and has chosen to stay despite how heavy things have gotten. He's had every opportunity to dip out, and yet he's still here letting Avi touch him despite the pain he could cause with his touch.

He leans in closer to Sae when the man asks about the men as Masumi walks away dialing. "Carter is Masumi's lover, and Utsuru is the man who broke my father's control over me. He's been a friend of the family ever since he helped us. He's taking care of my father's affairs and funeral services while we are away." Which is probably why Masumi wants to check in on the man. See if there is anything worth noting with the arrangements that they should worry about.

With his brothers and Masumi away, he lets his expression soften. If he didn't have the dishes in hand to take back to the kitchen, he probably would have given in to embracing the man again. "You can pick out whatever you want. Its yours." He doesn't think he would mind having his own scent clinging to Saeyong as the man wears his clothes. "We can pick something out before we head there." He nods his head towards the doorway so Sae knows to follow him to the kitchen. It isn't until the two of them have set their dishes down in the kitchen that he gets that hug he wanted. It really does feel nice to be able to touch someone again, so he might be acting a little greedy with the man today.

Anneyong! I’m 준 새용 || I'm feeling loved || I'm speaking to Avi, his friend and family || Where am I? Octavius' house || What am I wearing? My attempt at respectful - gloomy

Many a times, people are too busy to realize something's wrong. And often times, when they fight for someone, it feels like they are trying to feed that "social justice warrior" side of themselves, or even their "savior complex". This was what was Saeyong's point of view for most of it. He couldn't imagine someone fighting for him when they didn't need to and only learned that people could care when they did. Even then, the idea might have been a little tainted, but it didn't feel that way with Avi. Maybe he was biased towards him like the few he could still trust in some way, but it felt nice in a way, to be cared for. Maybe he could get used to this. "Dogs bark darling, we don't pay attention to them." he said with a playful smile but leaned closer to show how much he appreciated it nonetheless. "But I'll be careful." he added, assuring him the same.

Saeyong leaned closer to the other while he informed him about the two familiar yet unfamiliar names he was introduced to when Masumi decided to take a break and make a phone call. "That's very kind of him." he says as he nodded, making himself acquainted with their names and their roles in Avi's life. He was planning on sticking around for a really long time, of course he was going to try and make an effort to remember little details. Even when he wasn't very sure of how his eccentric old life was fully perceived.

Saeyong smiled a little, though on the inside he felt like a happy toddler. He nodded at the thought as he gave the man's current clothing a once over. The point still was to have something that he wore and something that smelled of him. "I like what you're wearing." he said, though unsure if he'd feel like he would require something else since he wore it the whole time he was with him. Following him to the kitchen, he smiled a little more and wrapped his own arms around the other, tightening his grip as he leaned a little into his chest, nesting himself comfortably to listen to his heartbeat. This sort of affectionate touch, he didn't imagine he'd want it so bad as he did now.

Though he still doesn't seem to like the idea of shitty people like them popping off at Saeyong just because he's acquainted with Avi, the man nods and tries to relax. He hadn't even realized that he was tensing up the more he thought about it. "I will take your word for it then." If it escalates because of them, at least he will be there to deescalate it himself so that Saeyong doesn't have to deal with it on his own. He has to admit, being defending instead of doing the defending alone is kind of nice for a change.


"He's a good man. He created his library in the first place to save his lover from his abilities driving him mad. As long as he is near Utsuru and his nullifying shield, he can be himself." He can see that being something which would make some people feel trapped and limited, but Utsuru's lover never seemed to mind it. It must be relieving to him as well to have his mind whenever he's with him. Perhaps that is why Utsuru took so much care with Avi when he collapsed in his library. His affliction reminded him of his lover's own struggle. "He helped me find myself again. I owe him my life. I am certain that any longer like that, I might have done something I could never take back."

But he doesn't let himself dwell on that any longer when it comes down to what Saeyong might want to wear and keep. "What I am wearing?" He looks down at himself and gives a hum of consideration. It IS in Saeyong's comfortable style tastes, and he only knows that because when he bought it, he took inspiration from Saeyong. "If you don't mind that I am already wearing it, then it's yours." If Saeyong didn't care that it is already being worn and isn't technically clean, though Avi hasn't sweat in it even once, then he didn't mind giving it to him. But yet again, that thought jumped out the window as he got the chance to hold Saeyong in his arms. His fingers would brush through the hair on the back of the man's hair as he presses a kiss to his head.

After giving another squeeze, he pulls away to take Sae's hand and lead him from the kitchen. As he gives the back of his hand a kiss, he leads him towards a set of stairs. Eventually they end up in front of a door he opens before ushering the man inside and closing the door behind him. "Um, my room is a little...plain. But this is it." He doesn't have anything in terms of decoration. Just a closet door, a nightstand and a large canopy bed. The lighting in the room is soft and not very bright since he mostly just uses this room for sleeping or gazing out the large sliding doors leading to a balcony patio. On his nightstand his a carafe with water he replaces each night so he can drink water when he wakes, an alarm clock, and two framed photos of him and his brothers together. He clears his throat, feeling a little nervous about having someone else in his private space, before he moves to open the closet door.

It opens up to a walk-in closet with lights that turn on automatically when he enters. The lighting is much brighter, but it still has that same sleek and elegant look that his room has. He immediately walks over to a drawer to pull out some briefs, before he grabs for a long-sleeve and another pair of sweats that he purchased with the ones he is wearing. After he sets those down on the ottoman before he's walking to some hanging robes and taking two down. He clearly looks nervous as he hands one of the robes over to Saeyong, his face flushing a little as he looks away. "You can undress in here, I can undress in my room if you want some privacy." Despite all their talk about bathing together, he did want to provide Saeyong with some privacy, even if the man ended up not caring. It felt right to at least extend the offer to him so that he knows Avi will respect any boundaries he wants to give.

Saeyong smiled wide when he finally seemed to relax a little. He knew anything said to him would bounce off like rubber from him, but he could understand where Avi was coming from. Even if they had no proper connection when all of this started, just messing with the woman the first time they met, for treating someone wrong made him excited.

"He sounds like a good man." he admitted, looking away to see Masumi for a moment, or in his general direction before looking back at him "The world would be a better place with more like him around." he'd add, thinking back on his past and how at least at the early times, it was good to meet the few people who were actually nice to him and taught him things - good things. He moved his hand as he heard the other, taking it in his own and brought it up to his lips to peck on his knuckles. "The world would be even worse without you." he'd add, a playful smile on his lips as he leaned in to peck his cheek to imply he wasn't joking.

Saeyong nods quickly as if to double down on his word. "Exactly that." he says proudly, "I think you wearing it makes it better." he confirms. Maybe he'd actually give it a thought if it didn't look as comfortable as it did, but again, if it was about wearing something that already had his essence on it, then he'd go for it in a heartbeat. He took in a deep breath as the man's lips planted on his forehead. It felt nice to be receiving affection like this and he would be lying if he'd say he wasn't thoroughly enjoying it. He made a happy little groan and inched closer but did pull away to eventually get more.

"You sweet gentleman." he teased, bringing his hand back to himself so he could peck it in return. Following the man along their path, he took a peek to see the room and waited for him to allow him to enter. Rooms and homes were spaces he didn't enjoy going uninvited, knowing they could be a place of hiding for most - unless he felt like messing with someone that is. "Boo, I was expecting some weird body pillow or obsession." he said, making sure his tone indicated he was joking because, maybe plain was something more suited to the rigid personality he met before. Maybe a lot of books too. He was curious so he did start to wander away from him and look around stopping when he realized that the man was doing something.

Moving closer, he took the robe and looked back at him, "I don't mind undressing right here." he'd say, nonchalant about it but would be quick enough to stop if the other wanted him to or showed any signs of discomfort. Though, right now, his blush looked adorable and he wasn't going to let it pass this easily. He shamelessly slipped out of his shirt and revealed his smooth skin, now reaching for the waistband of his pants to swipe them down in one go, though cautious and slow to see if it mattered to him.

I forgot to share the bedroom and closet photos! Here they are: bedroom and the closet!

"He is. His library is a sanctuary for the lost." If anyone is ever in need of a guiding hand, Utsuru does his best to help them as long as it doesn't impede on his own relationship with his lover. On the bit about the world needing more like him, Avi had to agree with that sentiment. However, on the part about the world being worse off without him, he had to pause. The part of him that still hold guilt over the things he does feels the hands of those he's killed around his throat still. "I don't know about that. I haven't done anything for the world that would be noteworthy. But I want to." He really wants to earn that sentiment. To wear it and believe that it is true.


"I guess it is a good thing that we didn't get it dirty earlier then." Whether or not he meant the intense making out, or of the cooking, he will not say out loud. He likes it more when he keeps Saeyong guessing on those kinds of things. "It helps that you can tie the pants to fit better." That way Saeyong can adjust how it fits and doesn't have to worry about losing his pants.

"Oh yeah, because I definitely have a creepy shrine on my nightstand." He jokes to help fight through the nervousness before he's clearing his throat to return to a serious tone. "In all seriousness, I try to keep the bedroom free from distractions. Whatever hobbies and such I have are for the study. It makes it easier to wind down in here when I need sleep. I wanted to kick habits of leaving books in here all the time." When he was younger, Masumi mostly slept with him in his room and they would both be lounging in bed while reading. His father would get angry when he couldn't find something he wanted to read because they wouldn't return them to the home library. It also didn't help to have them so accessible since it would hinder his sleeping when he got lost in a good book.

He lets the robe go when Sae takes it, doing his best to not latch onto it to change his mind about them going to the bath. Not that he's self-conscious about himself or anything. Being a hybrid, he heals quickly, but he still has scars from fights during jobs. Not every victim his father made him take died with ease. For some of them, he had to use actual weapons and things got messy. He's been ashamed of the scars, yes, but it's never been a big deal for people to see them as long as they were courteous enough to not ask. What has him nervous is the idea that they will be in kind of an intimate or vulnerable state, and he hasn't shared that kind of space with anyone else since Masumi.

He tries not to stare as Saeyong starts to strip without any care, but he also feels rooted to his spot. His eyes do not dip past the waist, but he does seem to let his gaze at least pass over the skin of the man's bare chest. Saeyong seems unbothered with it, so he finally moves in order for him to take the man's clothes and put them onto the ottoman so he doesn't step on them. Yet again, his eyes are above the belt as he lifts a hand to brush his fingers down Saeyong's arm to take his hand. "You're beautiful." It's not just words to flatter the man, but it also shows he means it by the look on his face. He's enamored by the man's perfect skin and soft features as much as he's become enamored by the man's personality. If it wasn't Saeyong's voice which drew people in, surely it was his natural beauty. After pressing another kiss to the man's hand, he rests it against his own chest as he does the same with Sae's other hand. Maybe the man won't notice how his hands are a little unsteady because of his nervousness, and how much he is controlling himself to hold his power at bay.

Leaning in, he presses a kiss to his temple and then his cheek before speaking quietly. "If you want to wear it, can you remove it? I feel I might not have control to not tear it." Yet he's gentle entirely with his touch against Saeyong's skin as he slides his hands back up his arm so he can instead slide them down his sides and around to follow his stomach
and up his chest. Eventually he will have to remove his hands so the shirt can be taken off, but at least he can enjoy the feel of the man's skin now.
