[Which is to say Alucard actually puts some effort into looking dishevled, because he's like that. The hair is the easy part, but the rest means changing out of his current digs for something far more casual.
So yes, maybe it takes the whole of Trevor's goddamn Target run for the dhampir to find a t-shirt that he owns that is appropriately wrinkled (Sypha got it for him as a joke, it has a ouiji board layout on it and glows in the dark), and a pair of PJ pants that are not a part of a matched set. (Because of course he's the kind of idiot who has matched sets of pjs.]
Ah, you actually knocked.
[Which is to say that Alucard's sort of amazed he's managed to fake looking like he's loafing around the house like a normal person rather than himself. He does shuffle over to retrieve the leggings first though.]
So you bought...a large cup of sugar in liquid format?
[He's...he's just saying. As to the leggings, he gestures with a free hand.]
Thank you. I...have no idea how sizes work here, but I presume no circulation will be cut off.
I should hope not, but your guess is as good as mine.
[Really, he needs to have Sypha give him a primer on ladies' clothing sizes if they're going to make a habit of this. And obviously, he intends to make a habit of this, because now that Adrian's given him an inch? There are many, many miles he will take. Miles that probably wouldn't be taken, if Trevor had an ounce of common sense or self-preservation, but lo. Of all the things he's lost...
Trevor puts absolutely no effort into looking disheveled; it's just his natural state of being. He woke up on Adrian's floor, practically crawled back to his room, then passed out again on his own floor right up until Adrian texted. Then before his Target quest... Shower? Basic hygiene practices? Sure, but cursory, because leggings. A man has priorities.
Come to think of it, that shower came with some surprises.]
By the way, I don't remember biting being part of the agreement last night. But then, I don't remember a good deal after the body shots, so-- Would you care to fill me in?
[Trevor doesn't look concerned, if sipping at the frappuccino and glaring at his phone are any indication.]
Well if something rips, then it was a worthwhile experiment and we know that this is simply not meant to be.
[There's probably just the reminder that leather trousers have been a cliche for good reason when it comes to matters being tight and easy to show things off, and rolling along with that. All the same, Alucard heads right over to his closet. He doesn't do much - just opens the door a little so there's a semblance of decency involved in all of this, and the experiment begins in earnest.]
You requested it, and I was unsure of what your blood alcohol content level was, so that seemed to be the quickest route to testing. It...was considerable.
[There's the sound of fabric landing with a soft fwump on the floor. That's trousers good and gone, and then Alucard unfolds the leggings to evaluate them properly. They're....absolutely going to tear, aren't they?
Well. One foot goes in, then the other, and Alucard is careful as he starts pulling everything up. The fabric is very snug, threatening constriction as he gets it all up and over his knees.]
[It's a vague statement, distracted because there's a gap in that door that Trevor's craning his neck to see through, and it's hard to feign non-chalance in that position. Can't help it. Doesn't want to.
There's one of two ways this can go. Trevor either bears witness to a fairly glorious wardrobe malfunction and gains fodder for the next century's worth of teasing, or he gets a glimpse of some bare ass (of which he's rather fond). Win-win as far as he's concerned. He's got no losing stakes in this.
Modesty is overrated with a body like Adrian's. That's Trevor's newest revelation, and he makes a careful mental note of it; of exactly what destroys him so completely, holds him utterly at Adrian's mercy, whenever and as often as he sees fit. It's infuriating. It's hot.
It also made your blood taste fairly gross, all things considered. Some of it was pure selfishness.
[Alucard hasn't figured out that there's a gap in the door. He's far more focused on getting the damn things on. There's a point where he ends up turning around to face the door, but there is no bare ass involved. Someone's still kept their briefs on for some godless reason.
After a few more moments of fussing, coupled with an occasional really? Alucard, emerges.]
Well, it's as I suspected. They are flattering, but far too constricting. Moreover, definitely not designed for men.
[Which is to say that while the leggings seem to have highlighted every muscle in Alucard's legs, the crotch region is far too compressed for comfort. The lines of his undergarments are absolutely visible, and yeah, things are definitely too tight in the front.
Alucard is kind enough to turn though, because Trevor's predictable.]
Where do you stand on the matter, from an outsider's perspective?
[That's the only complaint he can manage. Because "panty lines" or no, Adrian still fills them out better than any man should, and that's distracting at best. Trevor knows better than to sass him too much and ruin the view before he's good and ready to stop being distracted by it. His head tilts ever-so-slightly in careful appraisal, and he bites thoughtfully at the corner of his bottom lip.
Though that's an interesting point, and Trevor's never been bothered enough to ponder it before. How does Adrian even wear briefs under his normal affairs? There must be some trick to it. Dark magic. Something. It's difficult to wrap his head around at the moment; blood isn't flowing to the proper places for critical thinking to occur.
After a few long moments, Trevor shrugs and rolls his head back with all the put-upon grace he can manage.]
I can't imagine you would want to go without. And Sypha's still away, so we can't ask her.
[When your totally-not-girlfriend is still a part of a mostly nomadic people, you get used to her being out of the house for a few weeks at a moment's notice. It is...not ideal, honestly.
Alucard turns back around, and it's hard not to smirk at Trevor's reaction. Someone's enjoying this a little too much, and there's only two options: tease it out for as long as possible, or be a different kind of asshole and suck all the fun out of it. Like the vampire he is.]
I suppose you could destroy something you paid for, yes. But--
[Actually, a call's already been made. Alucard cringes, and his fingers go to the waistband.]
No, these need to come off right now, neither of us accounted for exactly how constricting these things are.
[It isn't as if Alucard can't endure ridiculous pain. But he is fairly in tune with his own bodily functions, especially things like blood flow, and right now he's viscerally aware of it's slowing. Fingers hooked in the waistband of the leggings, he's very careful as he starts to peel them off.]
I'd take their destruction as a necessary sacrifice, I think.
[There's a fleeting notion -- one Trevor won't lend any credence to whatsoever -- to cross the distance between them and assist with the process. Those things are clingy, and he can't imagine it'll be easy to peel them off now that he's got them on. But on the other hand, he's fairly sure it will invite some manner of scorn, because Adrian's mastered undressing just as well as anyone, and... Well.
It will be interesting enough just to watch him struggle if it comes to that.
Trevor's nearly finished off his drink through this entire ordeal, and scarcely notices until the straw starts making an obnoxious sound whenever he sips. SLUUUUUUUURP. Pity.]
Let me know if you need help.
[Like hell. He is staying right where he is and enjoying the show.]
[They might just rip anyway, even if Alucard is as careful as can be as he works the damn things down to around his thighs. It's a process that involves a bit of deeply undignified wiggling (absolutely a show by accident), and a few moments of pacing around to try and find a better angle to get the damn things off. The struggle? The struggle is so real.]
Help? Trevor, you're treating this like it's a film, obnoxious straw slurping and all.
[But the stupid things are at Alucard's knees now, and from there, no struggle remains. Alucard slides the leggings off entirely and kicks them to the side. Alucard's legs are most certainly not their usual pale selves at the moment, but rather a faint red from the return of circulation to the areas that were starting to be cut off. Satisfied with that and that alone, Alucard makes his way over and sits himself at the edge of the bed, relieved.]
Well, we now know that I look amazing in them as predicted, but unless they make leggings for men, we should not do that again any time soon.
[Trevor's going to make it his new duty to find them. Quietly. Without drawing attention to it until he's succeeded. He can be damn resourceful when he puts his mind to it. Or perhaps it's just dumb luck. But no one would fault him for trying.]
Amazing is giving yourself quite a lot of credit, isn't it? They were all right. Leather suits you better.
[He damn well did look amazing, but if it's possible for Trevor to give Adrian shit about something, he's jumping on the opportunity. Old habits die hard, and none harder than Trevor's tendency to ruin everything he enjoys. Genuine romance doesn't hold a candle to possible-masochism and definite-self-deprecation.]
Nothing also suits you better. [So stated, while a finger slips up Adrian's spine.]
I refuse to look at your internet search history for the next month on principle then.
[Alucard doesn't know how this is ending besides ridiculously, and that is always for both good and ill when Trevor's concerned. Oh yes, he is a man of resources, but also...this involves being an asshole. And making out. So where this lands is completely up in the air.]
You could be nicer about something you helped to encourage, you know. Even if it's against your basic nature.
[Alucard'll give as good as he gets. Trevor's self-depreciation can usually be endearing, but there are moments that it's frustrating. Especially when it runs over actual romance, which is something the dhampir does appreciate every so often.]
Is that an invitation to pick up from last night, Belmont?
[Trevor could be nicer. For what it's worth, he's trying, and not simply for his own sake. After all, when you've shared a man's bed, there are some pretenses you have to abandon purely on principle. You have to come to terms with the fact that you don't hate him anymore. You don't even dislike him. In fact, a large part of you (emphasis on large, thank you) is quite fond of him and would like to keep him around. And keep sharing his bed. Woe befall them both should he actually come to terms with that.
But Adrian shouldn't have to suffer for Trevor's penchant toward self-sabotage. If Trevor had to admit it -- and it takes some needling -- Adrian's been quite good to them, after their initial blowout. That's worth more than Trevor's probably capable of giving him, but yes, he is trying to be better.
Which is possibly why he's not being quite as pushy and brutish as usual. Blunted nails drift lazily over Adrian's back, in the closest approximation Trevor can manage to a backscratch, and he's grinning at the dhampir with one brow quirked.]
Are you offering? Because, just to be completely clear, the answer to that question will always be 'yes.'
[There's a soft hum as Trevor's fingers move down his back. For him, it's been much easier to accept whatever this weird arrangement between the three of them is, unlabeled and undefined. Alucard likes them both. A lot, not just because of time spent in the bedroom, but because it's a joy to sit around the house and be. It is easier with Sypha, but that's because Sypha understands and responds to emotions with a certain level of grace that Alucard envies. Trevor has...Trevor is Trevor. Whatever lets him kiss the dhampir is all Alucard cares about.
And if he and Sypha can drag him further away from self loathing and self sabotage in the process, then so be it.]
[Admittedly, it is, and Adrian never has to tell him twice. Resistant though Trevor may be to mere suggestion in all other aspects of their life, he's practically obedient in bed. If it's lent them a certain degree of cooperation outside the bedroom as well? That's a happy accident, but a welcome one nevertheless. Probably makes Sypha's life a hell of a lot easier, if nothing else.
They should make a go of it sometime, the three of them. Possibly even in an official capacity. Trevor's more inclined to the idea than he ever thought he'd be, but they all fit. He's not sure how to describe it in any other way, and maybe he'll suggest it someday.
Someday. Not now. Now Adrian's waiting for Trevor to come, and Trevor never keeps him waiting. One arm winds around Adrian's waist, and he pulls the dhampir into his lap as he sits up, immediately diving to shower Adrian's throat with rough kisses and tiny bites. Rough, because rugged is a kind description for the eternal state of his facial hair, and he never seems to pay it any mind against delicate skin.]
And how would you like it, my liege? [It's a quiet growl against Adrian's shoulder, and Adrian can practically feel the smirk against his neck.]
[Sypha's definitely taken notice of these sorts of things. She has also strategically not commented at all, because to do so would be to make her headache like five times worse, and scuttle both whatever is between Alucard and Trevor and herself and Trevor. The whole thing's a balancing act, and Trevor and Alucard have a very bad habit of both being bulls in the emotional china shop.
The idea of all three of them together is something Alucard's given thought to. He wants it. But...timing. There's a need for all three of them to be well and truly comfortable, and that requires more time. For now, this is more than enough.
Alucard's not one to protest with being dragged into Trevor's lap. Not when the dhampir's Ultimate Weak Point is immediately prevailed upon because yes. He's a vampire cliche and absolutely loses it when attention to his neck is involved. The eternal Belmont scruff only adds texture to the delight of it all, and one of Alucard's hands finds it's way to Trevor's hair. There's no pull or attempt to direct Trevor, it's only for want of having his hand there. The other moves to Trevor's chest, hand curling in the fabric.]
[Carry on-- bestowing orders, just as his nickname implies. 'My liege' was only half teasing when it came to fruition because Adrian can only bear so much blame for this. Trevor lavishes attention upon him because Adrian's soft, and he smells good, and Trevor is completely weak for the way Adrian's occasionally brought to mewling under his lips. It's a simple sort of fixation, but Adrian's taken Trevor for his thrall in a completely unconventional way; touch and whimpers instead of spells and blood.
Can dhampir take thralls? Ghouls? Trevor should have read that somewhere, should have remembered it. But he can't, and doesn't particularly care to when his hands are creeping beneath the back of Adrian's ridiculous ouija t-shirt, seeking out more bare skin than they've been given leave to find, but itch for nevertheless. Wandering, even as his teeth find their way to the other side of Adrian's neck, and dig in harder, careful to hold back from the point that he's learned is unpleasant from past experience.
Careful. There's a trait no one would expect to see in Trevor. It wasn't even something he'd expect to see in himself, before--
Before Adrian drove him mad, and he surrendered to madness happily.]
[In truth, Alucard could just be happy with this for hours, going no further than making out and being spoiled for attention to his neck. There are pointedly non-sharp nails that rub against Trevor's scalp, enjoying the texture of hair and skin there. Trevor's showered, which is always a wonderful thing, and this close, Alucard can get a good sniff of it mixed in with Trevor's more natural musk. There's always that and a hint of something more sacred - some kind of incense, although the source never makes sense. Alucard's chalked it up to some kind of inherited vampire hunter nonsense, like centuries of blessings and time spent in churches thick with the stuff can be passed down.
If there's to be bare skin involved in this though, there should be fairness. It's for that reason and others that Alucard's free hand decides to move low so it can get properly under Trevor's shirt. He doesn't bother with being subtle in creeping a hand slowly up either. No point. Once it's underneath Trevor's shirt, Alucard immediately puts his hand to Trevor's chest, aware that this is probably not as gentle an initial groping as he'd intended.
It's fine anyway. Trevor's entered teeth and nearly (but not quite) drawing blood into the equation, and this is simply Alucard's version of that.
A sigh of stupid satisfaction follows, loud and unrestrained and smitten with the current circumstances.]
[If Adrian pushes up much further, he's going to start breaking hems, and while Trevor's not usually fussy over his clothing, he's going to have to start. They can get carried away, and clothing is an unfortunate casualty of that fervor. Trevor pauses in his thorough defilement of Adrian's back, for the few seconds it takes to grab the neckline of his shirt and peel it off, toss it-- away, somewhere, he doesn't really care where it's landed. It frees up his body for more of Adrian's wandering hands, and that'll be reward enough.
Adrian's wiry, lithe; his shirts never seem to pull so much as shift over Trevor's grasp, greedy though it always seems to be. But his hands creep lower when they return to Adrian's back, sliding beneath his shirt only briefly before straying down, passing briefly over his ass and then grasping at his thighs. He thinks -- no, he's quite sure -- that every part of Adrian is sculpted to perfection, but his legs? Those are Trevor's favorite part of him. Never mind legs for days, he swears Adrian's stretch on for weeks, and Trevor's content to be between them for just as long.
So let them linger here for hours. What else do they have to do? Nothing more important than sucking bruises into a dhampir's neck, that's for damn sure.]
I don't give you enough credit, do I? [Trevor murmurs, muffled against Adrian's skin, as if this is really the time or place to be asking that question.]
[It's a question that comes out after a muted noise of approval with where Trevor's hands have wandered. He would have been ever so content enough to have Trevor's hands on his rear and keep them there. Sypha has a tendency to do just that, adding a touch of additional heat from his hands that always seems to make the dhampir functionally useless.
But with Trevor, it's legs. Always has been, and there's no doubt that Alucard approves of that too. There's a major artery down there that when brushed against, has a terrible tendency to escalate a situation. No wonder this entire joke ended up being taken seriously. Even if it's still ridiculous, Alucard stripped down to just his briefs now and his stupid messy bun, Trevor shirtless with Alucard's hand trying to grab every inch of skin on the man's chest.]
[And that's true enough without elaboration, but Trevor seems dead-set on truth at the moment, for whatever reason. Perhaps the miracle of God-given legs in spandex has inspired it within him. Perhaps it's just the curse of being too sober for his own good.]
For what you do for us. [That, punctuated by a drag of teeth across the tender junction of Adrian's throat and shoulder. Then...] For what you do to me.
[He could write a whole dissertation on the latter, were he so inclined. He's not inclined to do much besides exponentially inappropriate grabbing at the moment, so he'll expand upon it later. Maybe. For now, he's tilting his head up, finally catching Adrian's lips in a heated kiss. It might serve to silence a response. It might just make Adrian drag him away by his hair.
[For a moment, Alucard is thrown. Everything that has happened thus far wouldn't suggest or encourage this moment of rawness, of something close to genuineness and vulnerability. It is a side of Trevor rarely surfaced, but Alucard's met it once or twice before. He'd be a liar if he said he didn't like it. Quite the opposite - it means the world to see.
He wants to respond. Meet like with like, maybe venture a few words into the discussion that could potentially move whatever this is forward. Perhaps not label it entirely, but define a rough outline. Even simply make it clear that I care and have strong emotions for you is a true statement. (The L word is much further away, even if it floats to the surface of Alucard's mind some days.)
But there's no chance to. Trevor's deployed the reliable shut up, dhampir gesture, and all of Alucard wants to respond to it first. The heat is wonderful, and Alucard wastes little time in deepening it. He knows that at this angle, opening mouths and involving tongues might catch against his fangs, but that's an acceptable risk he'll just have to--
--ah, right. The hand still in Trevor's hair is careful as it tugs Trevor towards a slightly different angle, one less likely to brush against fangs.]
[Fangs aren't Trevor's biggest concern. Not if the following hours (or any of their encounters previously) are any indication. The slow burn always builds to an inferno, and they're carried away more often than not. But that's part of why it's good. That's part of why it works. It seems like lost parts of Trevor return to him in moments like that; in the depths of it, the hottest moments, inhibitions long-departed, Adrian sees a different side of him. A side that embraces Adrian, embraces this entire bizarre arrangement between them all, and isn't frightened of what it makes him feel.
And hours later, fire finally simmering to embers, Trevor's still wrapped around Adrian. Because the dhampir likes it warm, and Trevor's arm draped over his waist -- body pressed against his side -- is the finest means of achieving that. Reality's slow to creep back in, and Trevor enjoys the afterglow more than he cares to admit.
But even dozing, it's too much to hope that he can just shut up for a minute.]
Shall I take this to mean -- [Trevor pauses to stifle a yawn.] -- that you're a fan of leggings?
[Where this leads is far, far better than had it happened last night in the midst of drink, snuggling on a floor full of pillows, and a dozen other smaller details that have long since been forgotten. There might have been one or two rough rounds, but the impact of them? Hardly the same.
Because hours of laying in bed together, sober and so terribly in the moment, they carry a greater weight. Some of it is simply from going from a single long, slow note to a full orchestra at it's crescendo, but the rest lies in the emotions that come with it. Trevor's sober, and so everything done is a deliberate choice. Alucard's fully caught up in the moment, distracted from concerns about his parents and however that nightmare has decided to play out over the next few days. They're both present and the center of each other's focus, as close to each other as physically possible. All the kissing, groping, orgasms, everything else pales in comparison.
Or at least that's what Alucard will realize after sitting with his thoughts for some time, thinking long and hard about the past several hours. Now, still pressed close and running almost as warm at Sypha, all he can focus on is his own breathing. It's finally starting to resemble a steady, at rest rate. His eyes are closed, about to drink in the silence and--
--Of course.]
I believe the answer for both of us has been a resounding yes.
[He's too spent to offer something snappier. Or even chide the Belmont for runing a perfectly good moment.]
[Someday, Trevor will realize that he talks so that he doesn't have to think. So that when the gravity of this starts to set in, he doesn't have to acknowledge it for what it is. So that he doesn't have to stare back into the gaping, obvious void of his own feelings and give them a friendly nod. Someday, he'll have that wisdom. For now, he's tangled up with Adrian, sated again of the attention he's practically starved for, and making light of it because...
Because it's only ever confusing with Adrian anymore. But poking fun is decidedly uncomplicated.
Times like this, his fingers itch for a cigarette. Sypha made him promise to quit, and it's for the better, he knows. But it's a good excuse to roll away for a few minutes, to get away and collect himself back into some semblance of sane. God knows why he's so restless after such a pleasant night.
And just like that, he resolves to stop caring. Because Adrian's bare thigh is right there for him to grab at, and that's the only bone he wants to chase at the moment. Squeezing gently, working up to his ass and then back down, dragging Adrian's knee over Trevor's own hip for a better reach. Does an impromptu massage make up for ruining the moment with nonsense? Maybe not. But he's practically cackling nevertheless.]
They'll fit better next time. Come to think of it, how do you squeeze yourself into all that leather?
[Alucard vaguely wonders if moments should be added to the long list of prey that the Belmont family has added to their hunt over the years. Surely, surely some of this cock sure, smug, insufferable Belmont-ness must be inherited. It's far easier to ascribe a hereditary nature to certain aspects of Trevor's personality rather than reflect on how all of it is a defense mechanism to exactly how badly the world has treated the Belmonts. To think about that is to stew with anger on Trevor's behalf and want to lash out about it, and...well, that's how one goes Full Dracula.
You never go Full Dracula.
Even with vampire healing, Alucard's exhausted, and inclined to simply sleep at this point. There's a vague notion of needing to make dinner or some sort of food - it is that time of day, he thinks = but that thought is dashed with Trevor's decisions. Alucard is in no place to protest being touched again, dragged over, and having rough hands run over him. Protesting is exhausting, and he resolves to only spend energy on important things.
Which obviously means being a smartass to that question.]

No, these need to come off right now, neither of us accounted for exactly how constricting these things are.
[It isn't as if Alucard can't endure ridiculous pain. But he is fairly in tune with his own bodily functions, especially things like blood flow, and right now he's viscerally aware of it's slowing. Fingers hooked in the waistband of the leggings, he's very careful as he starts to peel them off.]
no subject
[There's a fleeting notion -- one Trevor won't lend any credence to whatsoever -- to cross the distance between them and assist with the process. Those things are clingy, and he can't imagine it'll be easy to peel them off now that he's got them on. But on the other hand, he's fairly sure it will invite some manner of scorn, because Adrian's mastered undressing just as well as anyone, and... Well.
It will be interesting enough just to watch him struggle if it comes to that.
Trevor's nearly finished off his drink through this entire ordeal, and scarcely notices until the straw starts making an obnoxious sound whenever he sips. SLUUUUUUUURP. Pity.]
Let me know if you need help.
[Like hell. He is staying right where he is and enjoying the show.]
no subject
[They might just rip anyway, even if Alucard is as careful as can be as he works the damn things down to around his thighs. It's a process that involves a bit of deeply undignified wiggling (absolutely a show by accident), and a few moments of pacing around to try and find a better angle to get the damn things off. The struggle? The struggle is so real.]
Help? Trevor, you're treating this like it's a film, obnoxious straw slurping and all.
[But the stupid things are at Alucard's knees now, and from there, no struggle remains. Alucard slides the leggings off entirely and kicks them to the side. Alucard's legs are most certainly not their usual pale selves at the moment, but rather a faint red from the return of circulation to the areas that were starting to be cut off. Satisfied with that and that alone, Alucard makes his way over and sits himself at the edge of the bed, relieved.]
Well, we now know that I look amazing in them as predicted, but unless they make leggings for men, we should not do that again any time soon.
no subject
[Trevor's going to make it his new duty to find them. Quietly. Without drawing attention to it until he's succeeded. He can be damn resourceful when he puts his mind to it. Or perhaps it's just dumb luck. But no one would fault him for trying.]
Amazing is giving yourself quite a lot of credit, isn't it? They were all right. Leather suits you better.
[He damn well did look amazing, but if it's possible for Trevor to give Adrian shit about something, he's jumping on the opportunity. Old habits die hard, and none harder than Trevor's tendency to ruin everything he enjoys. Genuine romance doesn't hold a candle to possible-masochism and definite-self-deprecation.]
Nothing also suits you better. [So stated, while a finger slips up Adrian's spine.]
no subject
[Alucard doesn't know how this is ending besides ridiculously, and that is always for both good and ill when Trevor's concerned. Oh yes, he is a man of resources, but also...this involves being an asshole. And making out. So where this lands is completely up in the air.]
You could be nicer about something you helped to encourage, you know. Even if it's against your basic nature.
[Alucard'll give as good as he gets. Trevor's self-depreciation can usually be endearing, but there are moments that it's frustrating. Especially when it runs over actual romance, which is something the dhampir does appreciate every so often.]
Is that an invitation to pick up from last night, Belmont?
no subject
But Adrian shouldn't have to suffer for Trevor's penchant toward self-sabotage. If Trevor had to admit it -- and it takes some needling -- Adrian's been quite good to them, after their initial blowout. That's worth more than Trevor's probably capable of giving him, but yes, he is trying to be better.
Which is possibly why he's not being quite as pushy and brutish as usual. Blunted nails drift lazily over Adrian's back, in the closest approximation Trevor can manage to a backscratch, and he's grinning at the dhampir with one brow quirked.]
Are you offering? Because, just to be completely clear, the answer to that question will always be 'yes.'
no subject
And if he and Sypha can drag him further away from self loathing and self sabotage in the process, then so be it.]
Come here then, the angle you're at is awful.
no subject
They should make a go of it sometime, the three of them. Possibly even in an official capacity. Trevor's more inclined to the idea than he ever thought he'd be, but they all fit. He's not sure how to describe it in any other way, and maybe he'll suggest it someday.
Someday. Not now. Now Adrian's waiting for Trevor to come, and Trevor never keeps him waiting. One arm winds around Adrian's waist, and he pulls the dhampir into his lap as he sits up, immediately diving to shower Adrian's throat with rough kisses and tiny bites. Rough, because rugged is a kind description for the eternal state of his facial hair, and he never seems to pay it any mind against delicate skin.]
And how would you like it, my liege? [It's a quiet growl against Adrian's shoulder, and Adrian can practically feel the smirk against his neck.]
no subject
The idea of all three of them together is something Alucard's given thought to. He wants it. But...timing. There's a need for all three of them to be well and truly comfortable, and that requires more time. For now, this is more than enough.
Alucard's not one to protest with being dragged into Trevor's lap. Not when the dhampir's Ultimate Weak Point is immediately prevailed upon because yes. He's a vampire cliche and absolutely loses it when attention to his neck is involved. The eternal Belmont scruff only adds texture to the delight of it all, and one of Alucard's hands finds it's way to Trevor's hair. There's no pull or attempt to direct Trevor, it's only for want of having his hand there. The other moves to Trevor's chest, hand curling in the fabric.]
Mmmm. Carry on, this is quite nice.
no subject
Can dhampir take thralls? Ghouls? Trevor should have read that somewhere, should have remembered it. But he can't, and doesn't particularly care to when his hands are creeping beneath the back of Adrian's ridiculous ouija t-shirt, seeking out more bare skin than they've been given leave to find, but itch for nevertheless. Wandering, even as his teeth find their way to the other side of Adrian's neck, and dig in harder, careful to hold back from the point that he's learned is unpleasant from past experience.
Careful. There's a trait no one would expect to see in Trevor. It wasn't even something he'd expect to see in himself, before--
Before Adrian drove him mad, and he surrendered to madness happily.]
no subject
If there's to be bare skin involved in this though, there should be fairness. It's for that reason and others that Alucard's free hand decides to move low so it can get properly under Trevor's shirt. He doesn't bother with being subtle in creeping a hand slowly up either. No point. Once it's underneath Trevor's shirt, Alucard immediately puts his hand to Trevor's chest, aware that this is probably not as gentle an initial groping as he'd intended.
It's fine anyway. Trevor's entered teeth and nearly (but not quite) drawing blood into the equation, and this is simply Alucard's version of that.
A sigh of stupid satisfaction follows, loud and unrestrained and smitten with the current circumstances.]
no subject
Adrian's wiry, lithe; his shirts never seem to pull so much as shift over Trevor's grasp, greedy though it always seems to be. But his hands creep lower when they return to Adrian's back, sliding beneath his shirt only briefly before straying down, passing briefly over his ass and then grasping at his thighs. He thinks -- no, he's quite sure -- that every part of Adrian is sculpted to perfection, but his legs? Those are Trevor's favorite part of him. Never mind legs for days, he swears Adrian's stretch on for weeks, and Trevor's content to be between them for just as long.
So let them linger here for hours. What else do they have to do? Nothing more important than sucking bruises into a dhampir's neck, that's for damn sure.]
I don't give you enough credit, do I? [Trevor murmurs, muffled against Adrian's skin, as if this is really the time or place to be asking that question.]
no subject
[It's a question that comes out after a muted noise of approval with where Trevor's hands have wandered. He would have been ever so content enough to have Trevor's hands on his rear and keep them there. Sypha has a tendency to do just that, adding a touch of additional heat from his hands that always seems to make the dhampir functionally useless.
But with Trevor, it's legs. Always has been, and there's no doubt that Alucard approves of that too. There's a major artery down there that when brushed against, has a terrible tendency to escalate a situation. No wonder this entire joke ended up being taken seriously. Even if it's still ridiculous, Alucard stripped down to just his briefs now and his stupid messy bun, Trevor shirtless with Alucard's hand trying to grab every inch of skin on the man's chest.]
no subject
[And that's true enough without elaboration, but Trevor seems dead-set on truth at the moment, for whatever reason. Perhaps the miracle of God-given legs in spandex has inspired it within him. Perhaps it's just the curse of being too sober for his own good.]
For what you do for us. [That, punctuated by a drag of teeth across the tender junction of Adrian's throat and shoulder. Then...] For what you do to me.
[He could write a whole dissertation on the latter, were he so inclined. He's not inclined to do much besides exponentially inappropriate grabbing at the moment, so he'll expand upon it later. Maybe. For now, he's tilting his head up, finally catching Adrian's lips in a heated kiss. It might serve to silence a response. It might just make Adrian drag him away by his hair.
Either way, he's determined to enjoy it.]
no subject
He wants to respond. Meet like with like, maybe venture a few words into the discussion that could potentially move whatever this is forward. Perhaps not label it entirely, but define a rough outline. Even simply make it clear that I care and have strong emotions for you is a true statement. (The L word is much further away, even if it floats to the surface of Alucard's mind some days.)
But there's no chance to. Trevor's deployed the reliable shut up, dhampir gesture, and all of Alucard wants to respond to it first. The heat is wonderful, and Alucard wastes little time in deepening it. He knows that at this angle, opening mouths and involving tongues might catch against his fangs, but that's an acceptable risk he'll just have to--
--ah, right. The hand still in Trevor's hair is careful as it tugs Trevor towards a slightly different angle, one less likely to brush against fangs.]
no subject
And hours later, fire finally simmering to embers, Trevor's still wrapped around Adrian. Because the dhampir likes it warm, and Trevor's arm draped over his waist -- body pressed against his side -- is the finest means of achieving that. Reality's slow to creep back in, and Trevor enjoys the afterglow more than he cares to admit.
But even dozing, it's too much to hope that he can just shut up for a minute.]
Shall I take this to mean -- [Trevor pauses to stifle a yawn.] -- that you're a fan of leggings?
no subject
Because hours of laying in bed together, sober and so terribly in the moment, they carry a greater weight. Some of it is simply from going from a single long, slow note to a full orchestra at it's crescendo, but the rest lies in the emotions that come with it. Trevor's sober, and so everything done is a deliberate choice. Alucard's fully caught up in the moment, distracted from concerns about his parents and however that nightmare has decided to play out over the next few days. They're both present and the center of each other's focus, as close to each other as physically possible. All the kissing, groping, orgasms, everything else pales in comparison.
Or at least that's what Alucard will realize after sitting with his thoughts for some time, thinking long and hard about the past several hours. Now, still pressed close and running almost as warm at Sypha, all he can focus on is his own breathing. It's finally starting to resemble a steady, at rest rate. His eyes are closed, about to drink in the silence and--
--Of course.]
I believe the answer for both of us has been a resounding yes.
[He's too spent to offer something snappier. Or even chide the Belmont for runing a perfectly good moment.]
no subject
Because it's only ever confusing with Adrian anymore. But poking fun is decidedly uncomplicated.
Times like this, his fingers itch for a cigarette. Sypha made him promise to quit, and it's for the better, he knows. But it's a good excuse to roll away for a few minutes, to get away and collect himself back into some semblance of sane. God knows why he's so restless after such a pleasant night.
And just like that, he resolves to stop caring. Because Adrian's bare thigh is right there for him to grab at, and that's the only bone he wants to chase at the moment. Squeezing gently, working up to his ass and then back down, dragging Adrian's knee over Trevor's own hip for a better reach. Does an impromptu massage make up for ruining the moment with nonsense? Maybe not. But he's practically cackling nevertheless.]
They'll fit better next time. Come to think of it, how do you squeeze yourself into all that leather?
[Not that he's complaining.]
no subject
You never go Full Dracula.
Even with vampire healing, Alucard's exhausted, and inclined to simply sleep at this point. There's a vague notion of needing to make dinner or some sort of food - it is that time of day, he thinks = but that thought is dashed with Trevor's decisions. Alucard is in no place to protest being touched again, dragged over, and having rough hands run over him. Protesting is exhausting, and he resolves to only spend energy on important things.
Which obviously means being a smartass to that question.]
Magic, obviously. Next question?
