things has gotten stale about halfway through this meeting and they had somehow started flirting. of course they were still on topic, the air around them buzzing with something different. stronger. they were lucky it was a private meeting, since surely other would have felt the tension that now surrounded them. it was addicting. every word out of their mouths adding to the tension, as it builds between them.

until the meeting ends and vasily stands to leave, wondering if something would be said. if adam would... give the push it needs. and sure, vasily could do it. but where's the fun in that? his hand goes to the door... and then he hears it.

@finalslay [ adam florian ] : “just kiss me , already.”

he smirks, turning to the other man finally. " i thought you'd never ask. " he doesn't hold back, forcing the other man against the wall of his office and kissing him. and just that that, the tension builds even more.

sometimes he hates his own body, hates his mind, hates what happened to him. it's been years and yet he still, on occasion, dreams about that night. about the stupid accident. like a horror movie that he's living and staring it. and his therapist could only help him so far but not now. not during these nights. he was trapped in his own mind, forced to live those events. he heard himself let out a scream, sitting up and immediately looking around. he was home. in bed. he doesn't look at eugene, he can't see whatever look is on his face. but he feels his touch on his arm.

@w4ntd : close your eyes and count to ten .

he doesn't close his eyes, but he does let out a very shaky breath. vasily still can't look at him, see whatever fear or horror is there. " i — " he tries, before letting out another breath. he brings his knees up to his chest and just mutters a soft, " i'm sorry for waking you. "

@slashaer [ aleksander montgomery. ] : ❛ i'll be gone in a day or two. ❜

" leaving to pillage and plunder or whatever you pirates do? " if he had been a little more sober, he most likely would have said nothing, or just simply nodded. but, on the other hand, he would not have stayed at this dinner party for as long as he has. he take another sip of his drink, eying the other man. " i'm sorry is that not a correct thing to say? i suppose i've never actually talked to pirates before. never had the pleasure. " a small part of him hoped this conversation wouldn't bite him in the ass later on. do pirates hold grudges? he surely hoped not.

@spinsforward [ mindy meeks - martin ] : ❛  somebody  forked  up .  ❜

he rolls his eyes, opening the door for her to enter. " not even a 'hello'? or a 'hey it's nice to see you'? children these days. no manners. and here i was planning a fun day for us. " vasily shuts the door behind her, smiling at her with a actual warm smile. he didn't give those to just anyone, after all. " you are aware i'm really here just to make sure you don't get into any trouble. i don't actually care what you do. "

he was a good baby-- no, not babysitter. she wasn't a baby, not really. and truthfully, mindy could be left on her own, since she was old enough in vasily's opinion. but it wasn't like he could say no to sienna. " look, just stay around and i'll even teach you some swears that your parents won't understand. "

@w4ntd : don't say that name aloud .

it had slipped out before he had even realized he'd said it. vasily had stopped referring to him as 'the baron' in his own head ever since he learnt his real name. 'the baron' was a stupid name anyway and, if his father had taught him anything, it's to never give unnecessary power to unworthy titles. though, vasily was sure in this instance his father would most likely disagree with him ( not that it mattered much to him what his father thought about this ).

he takes eugene's hands in his, kissing his palm lightly. " i'm sorry. the baron was a monster. and he used you. and honestly? you're too good for him. " he moves to wrap his arms loosely around his neck. " and i'm glad he's gone, rotting six feet underground. " he didn't deserve that, but to be forgotten completely. but sadly, even vasily knew that would never happen.

@slashaer [ antony trevino. ] : if i do nothing else in this life, that was worth it.

he chuckles, giving his horse a soft pat on her belly. normally, she didn't take to others riding her, vasily and the stablemen not included. but suppose even she can still surprise him from time to time. " careful, your highness, you'll only add to her ego. " vasily puts his brush down, turning to give their guest his full attention. " i'm sure you'll think different once you return to your own kingdom. but definitely be sure to remember this for i'm sure we would love to have your kingdom as a trading partner. "

[tsareviich]

@w4ntd : "But admit it, life would be boring without me."

he runs his finger over the rim of his glass, a soft hum leaving him. eugene wasn't wrong, exactly, life was certain different than he'd have expected it to be. but would it be boring? vasily wasn't sure. of course, vasily didn't think he would end up in a relationship, a serious one at that, with a father. normally his life would be going to a club, sex with a random stranger and then do it again the next night. now it's making sure camilla is in bed by nine and then having some quiet time with eugene. different but not overly unwelcome.

he makes a point to look and make sure camilla is in the other room, playing with her toys. " while, i will admit bluey is very entertaining, i do miss grinding against a random man's... " another quick glance and he makes sure to drop the volume of his voice so only eugene can hear him, " very hard dick. and staying up at all hours of the night doing unmentionable things. "

@slashaer [ ezekiah solange ] : i'm actually quite good with a sword

he hums, glancing up at the paladin with a smug grin. and here he thought that playing host to him would be boring. he wasn't sure if the other man was bragging about exactly, but vasily could play along. " i'm also good with a sword. had many teachers growing up. my brother is a bit better at them. " he pauses, stepping closer, his grin growing. " i just, " he glances down, then back up, staring ezekiah in the eyes, " prefer other types of swords. found them much more entertaining. " he steps back, his arms moving so one hand is holding the other behind his back. " maybe you can show me sometime how good you are. "

@clochanam : ❗❗❗

normally vasily didn't stay late the diner, he was usually leaving by 10, maybe 10:30 if he got caught up in his work. but tonight was different. with a big deadline coming up, vasily found himself caught up in his work until the diner was closing, which surprised him. did no one think to kick him out? then again, it was stanley they were talking about. of course he wouldn't. he wouldn't do that to anyone, let alone one of his regulars. which... vasily found himself smiling at the thought. it was nice to be cared for. like he imagined a dad would treat his son, something vasily often wondered.

he starts to pack up his stuff, giving aisling a small smile as she walks over to him. " i apologize for my lack of flirting tonight. work is kicking my ass. " he stands, putting his bag over his shoulder and handing her a few bills. way more than enough to cover everything, plus a very large tip. " same time tomorrow? "

and without thinking, vasily leans in to kiss her softly on her lips. of course, when asked about this later, he'll claim he was tired and wasn't thinking. which wasn't wrong, per say. " well... night. " vasily makes a point to avoid looking at stanley as he passes him.

@w4ntd : ❛ why is everyone so jealous of me ? ❜

as much as he didn't mind award shows, he much preferred the part where they got to go home and relax afterwards. vasily understood the importance of them and to eugene's career. so he doesn't complain. much. maybe a little bit. but only in the comfort of their home. but he's allowed to complain. sometimes it's not easy trying to enjoy the evening of being the boyfriend but also making sure eugene stays away from the things he needs be avoiding, whether it be the people or the subsistence, also isn't easy.

he kicks off his shoes before plopping himself down on the sofa. raising himself onto his elbows, vasily watches eugene. " well, you've done what a lot of people couldn't, love. you've hit rock bottom. twice. and yet still were able to raise yourself above it. not a lot of people can say that. and the amount of people in your field of work that can say that are even less. " he stands up, letting out a soft groan in the process and walks over to himself, wrapping his arms around his neck. " as much as i'd love to say they're jealous of me, we both know that's not true, мое солнышко. "

@kingmaketh : oh, you're here. what a thrill.

vasily grabs a glass of lemonade ( though he wishes it was much stronger ) and lets out a soft sigh. there had be many mothers and daughters trying to catch his attention during the night. surely hoping he would sweep them off of their feet and they would became the next tsarina of russia. it was a lovely time. and if it wasn't the mothers and their daughters, it was men either wanting to be his friend or annoyed he was stealing the attention from the others. he assumes this man is of the later.

" let me guess : was the lady you wished to court tonight uninterested in you? i truly am sorry my presence is such a bother. " it wasn't like there was anything he could do about it. " next time, you can ask the queen to make sure i'm not in attendance. i can promise you we would both prefer that. " of course, his brother would most likely still be there but there was nothing he could do about that. nor did he honestly care.
