[He gives Xenk a smile, clearly joyous for the man and what it might mean for him, especially where Astarion is concerned. Really, they were both nerds way too excited about Xenk bleeding than normal people should be. But when you have a vampire for a boyfriend, you kind of get excited when your other boyfriend's cursed blood is a lot less cursed.
Not minding the blood at all, he pulls Xenk into a hug and kisses him.]
[ They are extremely weird little guys, excited over the fact that Xenk's arm is bleeding the way arms normally do, when you cut into their skin. Xenk hardly minds the cut either, even if the blood is sure to stain his nice white shirt. He relishes in the hug, kissing back with excitement and unabashed joy.
They really are weird nerds, Xenk most of all. He tugs Fenris with that same bleeding arm and leads them both out of the bathroom, shouting with glee. ]
[ Xenk's good mood can't be taken down, even with Fenris' vague explanation. Of course, he's still riding the high of being freed from his curse, however temporarily. It's hard to take a moment and think.
But he will try! It's just a little more excited than usual. ]
This coin, [ he holds it still in his palm, certainly tighter now that it evidently works. ] Is capable of dispelling curses!
[ Hence the bleeding arm! And the redder-than-usual blood. ]
[ Astarion is a smart man, he's put together what this means. And now he's confronted with the reality that is Xenk dripping with blood--blood he's wanted to taste for months--but he's also supposed to act like a civilized member of society and not the monster that wants nothing more to pin Xenk down and lick him clean and then shove his fangs in his neck and ---
Well, if he's paler than usual, it's understandable. ]
That is very good news. [ He sounds distracted. ] But I can't help but notice you're rather letting that blood go to waste. You wouldn't mind if I....?
[ He nods towards his arm. You know. Let him have some. ]
[Fenris can't stop the amused smile that comes to his lips as he nudges Xenk forward towards their lover.]
I believe that is the core of his excitement in telling you.
[For a second, he thought he might feel jealousy, sharing something like this, but he's not. In fact he finds himself overjoyed to see these two finally have this connection, to have this moment. It fills him with a warmth to know that he helped make this happen, that something he risked his life for was worth it tenfold.
He doesn't want to intrude on something so special, so he thinks of stepping away, but for the moment he stays.]
[ Xenk nods towards Fenris in agreement, holding his arm out for Astarion. It's true that he's waited and hoped for months for this -- to be capable of easing Astarion's hunger, and grant him the respite he so deserves. Of course he expects the bite to be pleasurable, that is surely a given knowing Astarion, but the most important thing to Xenk is that he's finally able to offer him succor. As he's able to heal himself, it's always been a shame that his curse kept him from providing Astarion with the most he could offer. ]
I welcome it. Take as much as you wish, my love.
[ He grips the coin tight in his other hand, unwilling to part with it now that this temporary boon has been granted. With his sleeves rolled up and his own blood dripping freely, a little blood on his clothes clearly doesn't matter to him. ]
[ Astarion moves closer to him, taking his arm his his hand. His eyes flick over to where Fenris is standing, a touch of embarrassment on his face. Biting people is, after all, still somewhat new to him after 200 years of not being allowed to. It's still something he associates with shadows and hiding; with rats and bugs.
But being with Xenk and Fenris is not like that. They give themselves to him freely, and their blood will do much better for him than any animal's. He's certain that Xenk will taste as wonderful as Fenris, if a little less intoxicating.
This isn't new to Fenris, either, after all. Fenris won't think any less of him to watch him do this, he reminds himself.
So bends down and guides Xenk's arm up to his lips and starts to lick up the blood that had trickled down, a pleasurable moan escaping his lips when he at last gets to taste it. It's divine, really, though it doesn't make him feel like it wants to eat him from the inside out like true radiant blood would. Instead, it tastes every bit as delicious as he'd hoped, and he finds himself quickly wanting more, the tips of his ears warm and reddening with joy. ]
[Fenris gives Astarion a fond, reassuring look when their eyes make contact, wanting to make sure his heart knows that he will not think anything unkind about the act he was witnessing.
He watches for the moment, seeing the way Astarion's ears warm. They were beautiful, these loves of his. To see them thrive together. It makes him feel like it will be okay if he ever dies, if he leaves again, because they will have each other. Though he does not hope to leave, he does take reassurance in the fact they will have each other.]
[ Xenk's smile brightens to see Astarion's joy, the adorable blush that colors his ears is easily one of Xenk's favorite things. His eyes find Fenris' and meet with that same smile, as the intimacy the three of them share extends well beyond sex. It feels natural to share in this, in the safety of their own home, with these two men he loves so dearly. These moments are precious, from their firsts to every moment after, and Xenk would spend them with no others.
The slight chill left by Astarion's tongue is nice enough, hearing him moan is all the encouragement Xenk would need. He has waited, perhaps even dreamt of this, but the real thing is already far better. Bringing Astarion such joy, sharing this moment with Fenris by his side... It's truly divine.
And, look. Yeah. Xenk wants this. His face warms to admit it, but he has nothing to hide from them. ]
You may use your fangs. I... wish to feel them, truly.
[ The reality is, he finds that he likes that Fenris is there watching. That he's sharing this thing they're doing together, intimate and personal. It wouldn't feel the same without Fenris here. Not any more.
What a strange idea. Tav had shared their bed with others, but it had never felt this equal. Like the three of them are this group that belonged together.
He tries not to think of it too much as he licks Xenk's arm clean, ensuring he gets every precious drop of blood. Xenk's skin heals quickly enough but that's just as well with what Xenk asks. He means he can draw himself away from his arm and find his way to his neck.
Astarion releases his arm and then moves to kiss his way along Xenk's neck. When he finds the perfect spot he says softly against his skin (but loud enough for Fenris to hear, of course): ]
Don't let Tyr hear you saying such things. That sounds nearly sacrilegious, my Light.
[ Teasing of course, but he can't help himself. Not that he gives Xenk much time to respond, digging in with his fangs right after he says it. ]
[Fenris cocks an eyebrow at that, curious and watching, moving forward to pet his hands down his lovers' forms. Feeling the warmth and joy spreading between them all in this moment.
He doesn't feel like an intruder like he might otherwise, he feels welcome and wanted and that is enough for him to not step away in this moment.]
[ Xenk's face warms -- Astarion and Fenris' scandalous words certainly have an effect on him. Tyr would not condemn him for enjoying of his lovers, nor would he damn him for giving in to his desires to find himself at the receiving end of a vampire's bite. Surely? Surely. Nothing was being taken that was not offered, and nothing was offered that Xenk did not have plenty to give.
Xenk bares his neck easily before the bite comes -- sharp and bright pain blooms from the points of Astarion's fangs but the contact makes Xenk feel present, and brings with it a warm wave of want and desire. He wraps an arm around Astarion's waist to keep him close, a soft gasp leaving his lips as he settles into the pleasure of the bite. ]
My love for you both is no secret. I break--ah--no Oath in this.
[ His words lack any bite, more for show than anything. The truth is of course that the idea of Tyr watching warms him. With Astarion licking his way up his arm obscenely it's enough, but to now find himself at the mercy of a vampire and feel the approving caress of Fenris' own kisses makes it truly so that there is no doubt in him. Let Tye watch what his steward enters in willingly. Let him see how his paladin melts with affection under the perfect gaze of the men he loves. For surely no god who claims an alignment to Good could find any fault in this. ]
[ The embarrassment (and pleasure from it) makes the Xenk's blood practically run into his fangs in its hurry to color Xenk's face. He drinks it reverently, careful not to lose a single drop.
Fenris's touch reminds him he wants to touch, too. One hand on Xenk's opposite shoulder to steady him. With his free hand he reaches for Fenris's hand. It takes him a moment to find it, occupied as he is, but once he does he holds tight to keep him near.
If Xenk has managed to remove his curse, then Astarion has to be careful not to drink too much. But he's been drinking enough from others lately (and what a thought that is) that he has a good sense of it. In the meantime, he can simply indulge in his taste as his body warms and comes alive for him. ]
[Fenris realizes just how wanted here he is with the way Astarion grabs for his hand, it makes him feel right to be here as he brings the Elf's hand to his lips and kisses at his knuckles. His freehand is at Xenk's lower back, keeping the man steady under the pleasure of Astarion's bite.
Fenris understands, he also finds himself often wanting to buckle under his lover's teeth and need, it's an experience unlike any other, so he finds himself glad for Xenk to have it. Again he kisses Xenk's shoulder, lips traveling between his two lovers with ease.
They were beautiful, he was memorized by it.
Perhaps he shouldn't have doubted the validity of his gift.]
[ Not to worry, Astarion. Xenk only needs a single hand to heal himself, and this is something he can do. With the hand holding the coin, he presses close to his chest, a warm, golden light springing forth from his hands to heal him as the drain becomes noticeable.
It hardly is, though. The heat from Astarion's lips and the pull of his fangs, in his hold, is enough to draw the breath from him in the very best of ways. It is absolute pleasure, coating his insides with warmth that ebb and flow up his neck, towards Astarion. Every point of contact from them feels that much warmer, with Fenris' touch forming an almost closed circuit of contact between the three of them, feeding the desire and need that was presently fueled by the bite.
Yet Xenk would be happy simply like this. Surrounded by his lovers, held and supported. He thinks perhaps he has not experienced true joy before, for nothing in his long life has ever felt so good. Even the light of Tyr pales in comparison to this. ]
