[ But he really called her a friend. Shock melts into joy as it finally sinks in, and for a moment she almost misses the last part - ]

and done

[ - No wait shit, hold on!! ]

Wait! Wait, wait, wait, wait! [ This is probably the most frazzled Lapis has sounded in a while, but she needs to say something first! ]

First, you need to tell me that nickname sometime - [ Priorities. ] - and second!

I'm glad to have a new friend too.
crisantemo: (we never had enough)

she's..... fine.

[ . . .

U g h. Maybe she should ask one of the hounds to drag her down to hell the next time she summons them - ]


Ah... A little. I just didn't expect you to say that and I didn't want you to hang up before I could say it back...

[ Uggggggghhh. While Lapis tended to be quiet but firm enough to be heard, now her voice trails off to a whisper - she is really bad at handling embarrassment.

But. Anyway. Nickname! ]


Black Cat... Well, since you dress in all black it fits. But I think it sounds more cute than anything else.
crisantemo: (you got me dancing in the dark)

absolutely not

[ The thing that makes her even more Upset is that they absolutely would be, their little weird medium friend is growing up-!!

Though... at least he seems to be enjoying her trip-up. As embarrassing as it was, but with a quick clearing of her throat she's (almost) back to her usual self. ]


Well, between being related to Eizen and dealing with demons, random misfortune doesn't bother me that much. I imagine the others are the same too, there's no reason to be cautious. [ And honestly Jinwoo is like... the cinnamon roll of the group. Who could ever be cautious of him. ]

Oppa and Black Cat... That's two nicknames I have for you now. I promise to use them endearingly, though.

action

[ It's been a very, very exhausting few days but things have slowly calmed down now. There's still issues with sleeping and worrying about waking up back in that place - but she's with Jinwoo, they're mid-way through one of the movies he picked out and for now she doesn't have to think or worry.

Though... why does this suddenly popcorn taste iron-y? Also why is there suddenly a lot of pain, did she get a kernal or something -

- Nope, somethings wrong and she jerks away from where she was leaning against Jinwoo, hand over her mouth. There's way too much blood right now, and she's not risking it dripping everywhere. While she trusts him completely, she doesn't want to get blood on his stuff. ]


S-sorry, give me minute...

[ Or some sort of muffled, garbled variation of that.

She's making a beeline for the bathroom now, managing to remember to use her ability to heal up... whatever the fuck just happened. She bit her tongue, but surely it shouldn't have been so -

- Oh. Hmm.

Checking in the mirror sure does reveal she has fangs now. That explains it. ]
crisantemo: (where did we go wrong)

[personal profile] crisantemo 2023-10-13 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ Her first thought was maybe she got the same vampire curse as Jinwoo, but... No, her heartbeat is normal - if fast at the moment - and she isn't cold at all. And she doesn't look or feel any different either. Was this...

- Oh, Jinwoo is right there. She jerks to attention, wincing as she wipes some of the lingering blood from her mouth. ]


I think... It may be what I talked about, after we got out of the library.

[ The whole 'eldritch bloodline thing' - she knows that fangs had been a trait her grandmother had, so it only makes sense it's passed to her. At least they aren't overly sharp or long, but it's going to take some time to get used to this.

All she can do is curse the timing, guilt mixing in with everything else as she gives him an apologetic look. ]


It's... Sorry, I think it's just cosmetic, but... Do I look any different, to you? Besides the teeth.
crisantemo: (no turning back)

[personal profile] crisantemo 2023-10-15 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's an affirmative hum as she nods, turning back to the sink for a moment so she can wipe off some of the blood from her hands. She'll need to be a little more careful with inhaling food in the future, now that she has these things to deal with.

And despite herself, she does feel her cheeks heat up when he calls her "pretty". Aaaaaah, this isn't the time to embarrass herself! ]


Good, I was worried you would think otherwise. [ Gone is the usual teasing tone though, her response actually... serious. But she doesn't allow much dwelling on that, as she reaches to press a finger to one of her new fangs - no pain, but is some sharpness there. ]

No, they don't hurt... I mean, besides the part where I bit my tongue. [ Now that hurt! ]

... Sorry about that, by the way. The last thing we needed right now was another surprise.
crisantemo: (heart made of glass)

[personal profile] crisantemo 2023-10-20 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She doesn't mind at all, gold eyes peering up at him now as she cants her head. Well, he has a point - he's had fangs for almost as long as she's known him, and she knows they've certainly never been an issue for her. ]

No accidental turning, luckily. And it's good to know me being able to bite back isn't an issue.

[ Lapis.

But she'll bare her fangs too, so he can have a better look - slightly longer than his, but not as long as when he goes without feeding. Unlike his, she doubts they'll actually change size. It feels more like... it's just a part of who, or what, she is. ]


It definitely feels... strange. Like something is stuck. [ She'll absently trace the same spot he indicated on her lip with her fingertip, brows furrowing as she does a few test bites. Yeah, that might be a problem. ]

Hmm. If I bite too hard, I'll try not to bleed everywhere again. [ But he says it's okay, despite all the stress that's clung to them since they escaped, and she lets out a quiet sigh. He... really has been so patient with her. ]

... Between this and you letting me stay with you, I feel like saying "thank you" isn't enough.
crisantemo: (i'll forgive you for your sins)

[personal profile] crisantemo 2023-10-21 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ The reaction gets a pleased little giggle from her, her usual soft smile a little more accented now that the fangs are there. It almost makes her tempted to hide her smile behind her hand, but... Well, he's already seen them, so there's nothing to hide. ]

Well, you already know I'm not too bothered when it comes to donating. [ A tease for a tease, before she blinks - watching as he seems to consider her words. She didn't say something strange, did she?

But as he speaks, Lapis finds herself strangely... blanking for a moment. This wasn't the response she was expecting, and she finds herself flustered once more. This is happening more and more around him, isn't it? She resists the urge to bite on her lip, lest she make herself bleed again, and absently rubs a hand against a burning cheek. ]


That's... [ She takes a deep breath, trying to ignore how red she must be right now. A hand rubs at her arm, an oddly nervous gesture, but she forces herself to keep her eyes on him. ]

It's the same for me as well. I like being with you, spending time with you makes me... happier than it does with anyone else. And you're always soothing to be around, it feels like my worries are so far away. [ She pauses, letting out something almost like a sheepish chuckle. ]

I guess I was worried about being a burden because I, ah... [ Aha. Ahahah. She's going to explode. ] I want to keep staying by your side.
crisantemo: (welcome home)

[ It's a thought process Lapis understands; there's been... a lot of mulling over the last few days. Regrets and what ifs that could've been left unsaid, if Eizen and Blade really did pass away. It's not something she wants to repeat. She's so... tired of squashing feelings away, as if they don't exist, no matter how terrifying or nerve-wrecking they may be.

She wants to be a person again, not something the Order used to spill blood. And after their conversation before, when they came back from the library, she has a chance at that. A chance he's helped open up for her.

So she deals with how brightly she's blushing, how it only burns all the more as he speaks and brushes his thumb against her cheek. She simply lets out a shaky breath and smiles, actually smiles, up at him. ]


Of course I'd like to. There's nothing else I want more.

[ But... Actions over words have always been her forte, and there's a certain spark in her eyes now as she reaches up - tugging gently on the collar of his shirt so he'll lean down. ]
crisantemo: (i will wait for you)

[personal profile] crisantemo 2023-10-24 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Lapis desperately tries to ignore how her own heart speeds up as his arm wraps around her waist, her arms looping around his shoulders now as he leans down. This is almost... terrifying, in a way, being so open like this. But it's nice too, makes her feel giddy - makes it impossible to suppress her smile; warm and fond as she looks up at him. ]

Mmhm, we will. [ A soft sound escapes her, as his forehead presses to hers. Her voice softens as well, gentler than usual as she leans in just enough that her nose just brushes against his. ]

Then we're the same there. [ For so long she shut all her feelings down, but no. Not anymore. ] But I'm glad I was able to convince you otherwise. In case I didn't make it obvious, I really do like you a lot.
crisantemo: (you've always loved the strange birds)

[personal profile] crisantemo 2023-10-28 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ Aaah, even seeing that smile is enough to make her heart skip a beat - his words pulling a soft huff from her, too gentle to be an actual chuckle. It's far too late now to deny just how much she likes him, and now that she's... admitting it, it's easier to embrace all the burning blushes and skipped heartbeats.

This shy, quiet man hounded by bad luck... Who is so much more than he thinks he is, a source of safety and comfort. Who gave her the push to finally look beyond what the Order laid out for her. How can she not be so enamored with him? ]


Hmm... Maybe a little bit of both. But that's true, so that would make us both smitten fools. [ She feels like one, all uncertain and filled with a giddy, nervous energy - ]

And if you don't tell me otherwise, this fool is probably going to kiss you soon. [ - But that still won't stop her blunt forwardness. ]
crisantemo: (go down with me fall with me)

[personal profile] crisantemo 2023-11-02 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Part of Lapis does wonder if his bad luck would strike; if something would fall or there would be a misstep somewhere. But maybe misfortune has turned a blind eye for once, giving them this moment after everything else they've been through - there can be dumb mishaps later.

For now, her attention is solely on Jinwoo; how pink he's turning despite being so pale, how cool his hand feels against her own burning skin. There's an unconscious lean into his hand, as it rests against her cheek; she's so used to how naturally cold he is that it's more soothing than anything else. ]


Oh? This fool is very glad to hear that.

[ Even though she's the one being forward, she can feel how the blush burns to the tips of her ears as he meets her halfway. There's a hitch of breath as his lips brush against hers, her heart feeling like it's skipped a beat or two, but all that does is push her to close the gap completely. Despite the giddy, nervous energy the press of her lips to his is firm and sure - the arms around his shoulders tightening that little bit more, as her fingers curl into the fabric of his shirt.

In this moment, she can forget what happened before and ignore what may come after. She just wants to focus on this, on him. ]
