Belated Christmas Gifts (Back-dated to Dec. 25/26)

[wishmadeinfire]

[Felix]

[Christmas morning would be spent more than likely snuggling in bed, warm despite the icy castle. Ashura was more than happy to keep warm, mind, and not have to do so expending his Talent, which just made him hungry and ultimately cold in and of itself. But another warm body was enough to share and make it lovely. 

But, of course, eventually one of them had to get up and get the gifts - which Ashura was intent on opening in bed where it was warm. Was it mentioned he like being warm? He handed Felix a small box wrapped in green and gold, settling against his shoulder.]

Merry Christmas, Felix.

[A List of All The Other Gifts]

Howl - a new scarf, dark purple edged in gold (to compliment that golden hair and pale complexion)

Clow - a new band to tie his hair with (dark blue and gold, the ends cut and shaped to resemble stars and a moon) 

Legolas - a box of peppermint chocolates

Duke - a new brush for his hair with boar's hair bristles, the back laid in with worked silver

Phoebe - a new pair of earrings, worked silver to look like moons, stars, and clouds (but tastefully)

[/End]

[Felix blinked sleepily and wrapped his hands around the box, smiling softly]

What do we have here?

[He pulled at the paper and ribbons, being leisurely about the process in part to tease his lover]

[wishmadeinfire]

<sub>[Even if he was teasing, Ashura was not overly bothered. It was warm in their bed, and if they got to stay in it longer, then so much the better. Though perhaps a little bit of his heart was pounding, waiting for him to open it and see what was within -

A green jewel on a golden chain, and inside the jewel, flickering quietly, a bit of flame, like a candle.]</sub>

[lord_wizard]

[His breath caught when he pulled the necklace free, and his other hand reached up to carefully cradle the jewel in his hand]

[wishmadeinfire]

The fire inside is a bit of mine.

_{[He watched his gaze carefully, hoping this was not being heavy handed, would not scare him. But he had wanted to do this in hopes of easing his fears, whatever they may be.]}

This way, when you wear it, a part of me is always with you.

[lord_wizard]

[He gazed down at it, rubbing a thumb over the tiny fire inside. He could almost feel the warmth deep down inside - more the aura of magic than any actual heat but he couldn't be exactly sure of that. One of his ever-present fears had been Ashura going home someday. It was inevitable, and likely to sting all the more the longer they were together. But this, at least, he could hang onto. Some small piece of his lover.]

It's beautiful.

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[He smiled, leaning up to kiss his lover's cheek before settling again, rubbing his knuckles absently against his chest.]}

Good. Hopefully it goes with most of your outfits.

[lord_wizard]

I'm sure it will, and I can always wear it under my shirt, if it doesn't.

[He sat up a little and held it out to Ashura]

Help me put it on?

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[Ashura sat up and took the necklace, threading it around Felix's neck and smoothing the chain so that the green stone sat just at the top of his breast bone. He looked up at him, fingers caressing the stone, and leaned in, kissing his lips this time. He let it longer, gentle and undemanding.]}

[lord_wizard]

[Felix placed a hand over Ashura's, pressing the cool stone against his skin, and leaned into the kiss. Something like a shiver of sadness passed through him, that ever-present and nagging feeling that he didn't deserve this. He pushed it away, though the mournful look remained in his eyes, and he smiled as he broke the kiss at last.]

I think you've outdone me this year. Your is on the vanity, by the way.

[Sitting there was a miniature pomegranate tree, a red bow wrapped around the pot it sat it, already bearing a few tiny versions of the dark red fruit]

[wishmadeinfire]

<sub>[He looked over and let out a small gasp. He rose from the bed, unashamed of his nakedness before his lover and went to the tree.

He caressed the small leaves and ran his fingers over the curve of the tiny fruits, smiling. He picked the tiny fruit, working off the thin skin and popping it in his mouth, making a pleased sound as he came back to the bed.]</sub>

It is lovely, Felix, really. I will have to put it out in the living area, where it can get plenty of sun.

_{[He slid onto the bed to straddle him, leaning in to kiss him, deeper this time, tongue searching in his mouth.]}

[lord_wizard]

[There was a soft sound of not-undelighted surprise and the please sigh of feeling his lover's warmth near him again. The chill in the air was easy to feel when that heat was absent. He shifted, moaning deep in his throat as he tasted the tangy-sweet flavor of the exotic fruit on Ashura's tongue]

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[He adored drawing those sounds from his beloved, feeling them vibrate through his lips and fingers. Slowly his long digits slid down the length of Felix's through and circled the dark coin of his nipple, taking one between his fingers and pinching it sharply. It had not always sat well with him, knowing Felix enjoyed the bite of pain to their romps in bed, but in time he had come to enjoy the pleasure those tiny pains could draw from him, recognizing them for the harmless play they were. And if they brought the other pleasure, why should he not indulge? And he would be lying if he said he did not enjoy the bit of control it gave him over the other, or the way his teeth left marks upon soft skin.]}

what's this? Suddenly there is feelings in my smut...

[lord_wizard]

[The gasp of pain was swallowed quickly by Ashura's lips, and it melted quickly into a tingle of pleasure that quickened his breath. A hand slid over the body leaning over him, tracing the fine ridge of his spine and tangling into the fall of long hair he found there. The silky strands were cool and soft against his hand, in comparison to the low heat of the king's skin, kindled as it always was with that inner fire. He'd long feared the touch of flame. It had haunted his dreams since he was eleven. It had long meant fear and pain and death. But he knew, on more than a metaphorical level, that fire could also mean purity and, maybe more importantly, rebirth. A new beginning. And in many ways, Ashura was his.]

pesky feelings, horning in on our smut

[wishmadeinfire]

<sub>[ He might have chided Felix for such heavy thoughts during one of their more intimate moments. But as it was, he had things to occupy his mind, like caressing the pale skin, and trailing his mouth down his neck, leaving a bright red line created through nips and scrapes of his teeth.

Fingers slid down over sharp hips, working between his legs and caressing the inside of this thigh, dancing lightly, dragging his nails in a tease, the promise of that bite of pain the other enjoyed. He specifically avoided touching the other's sex for the moment, not wanting to give him to much so soon.]</sub>

all the more delicious

[lord_wizard]

[He whined deep in his throat, the mix of soft touches and fingernails making his skin tingle and his cock jump. It was a testament to his control that he let Ashura explore, rather than drag him back up and ravage his lips with kisses like he wanted to. And there was no denying that it felt good to just let things be for a moment]

of course

[wishmadeinfire]

<sub>[He could feel the quivers beneath Felix's skin and took a particular relish in them. A hand pressed one of his legs open, exposing the inside of thigh. With a heavy sigh he leaned down and bit down sharply, teeth worrying flesh, but not enough to draw blood. Surely enough to leave a mark though, as was his intent. Marking Felix had become... a favorite past time, as it were.

Eyes flicked up, watching his lover's reaction.]</sub>

[lord_wizard]

Saints and powers...

[Felix hissed and arched. The pain was sharp but good. Made the touches that followed amplified. Part of him wondered what exactly Ashura was up to, but he was, as his lover has obviously discovered, rather weak to this kind of attention.

His hips twitched a bit, hoping for more, but he kept otherwise silent. Only his fingers curling around the sheets showed any other hint of his need]

Thank you for the gift - the color is lovely.

Re: [written, filtered to Ashura]

[wishmadeinfire]

Oh, I am glad you liked it! I admit, I had a hard time coming up with gifts for you wizards.

[legacydeck]

Terribly difficult to please, I know. Though chocolates usually go over well.

[Which is why that was his gift to everyone]

[wishmadeinfire]

I shall have to remember that for your birthday ~
