Snow Heart Game - Session 1

[bondsofsuffering]

Snowdrops were once a symbol of death
But to grow first of any flower in the winter...

Couldn't their meaning also be...?

Good, because you're stuck with that.

[ with me.

huffs out a breath, nuzzling his hair ]

I'm no Aphrodite kid or anything, but it just makes sense to me. Loving someone only when they act right or whatever, or when times are good, that's cheap. Relationships — any kind of 'em — are hard. They're messy. You're gonna mess up. I'm gonna mess up. But I wanna mess up, and fight, and work it out, and keep going, together. Putting the work into it is what makes it worthwhile. That's what's real.

[...He leans into Aster again, expression soft.]

...That sounds great. It... sounds really, really great.

Re: Snow’s Room

[audacity]

[ pulls arm around him tighter ]

We can have that.

[ said like a promise, but diffident too. more hope than surety; he's also had his reasons that make the future tricky to believe in.

but, maybe this once...maybe something good can happen ]

Re: Snow’s Room

[bondsofsuffering]

[Nuzzling into his shoulder, partly out of affection and partly out of a hunger for affection in return.]

...But first, we have to deal with whatever's going on now - right?

Re: Snow’s Room

[audacity]

[ gently takes his face and kisses him ]

But first we have to deal with whatever's going on right now. So...feeling any more up for gardening?

Re: Snow’s Room

[bondsofsuffering]

[Leaning into that kiss - and then drawing back to look at Aster in confusion.]

...Is that a thing here?

Re: Snow’s Room

[audacity]

You would not believe the size of the gardens out there. And I got all these seeds I gotta plant.

Re: Snow’s Room

[bondsofsuffering]

...I guess it makes sense.

Re: Snow’s Room

[audacity]

Right?

Re: Snow’s Room

[bondsofsuffering]

I'm just that Acidia-ish, I suppose. ...Or maybe it just goes to show how much I want to hold onto it.

Re: Snow’s Room

[audacity]

Nothing wrong with that.

[ kisses him again, just because ]

I want to hold onto it too, you know. I like being Acidia.

Re: Snow’s Room

[bondsofsuffering]

[This time, he leans into the kiss - and doesn't move away again.]

...Wonder if we can find a place where we can have a garden in Satin's world. If it's anything like mine, we'll need to move out of the city, eventually.

Re: Snow’s Room

[audacity]

Yeah, think so. I've never been out of the country, but New York was definitely too crowded for gardens. Probably the same in most big cities, right?

Re: Snow’s Room

[bondsofsuffering]

Tokyo's one of the biggest cities in the world, so... it's probably its own beast.

Re: Snow’s Room

[audacity]

You're gonna have to help me a lot, you know.

Re: Snow’s Room

[bondsofsuffering]

You've got a lot of lessons in your future.

Re: Snow’s Room

[audacity]

You'd better be patient with me.

Re: Snow’s Room

[bondsofsuffering]

Well, we already have a method that works, don't we?

Re: Snow’s Room

[audacity]

[ feigns confusion ]

We do? You might have to remind me what it is.

Re: Snow’s Room

[bondsofsuffering]

[Leaning in with a grin, planting a soft kiss along Aster's neck.]

Oh, you know. Rewards when they're earned.

Re: Snow’s Room

[audacity]

[ a pleased sound ]

Ohhh, that's starting to ring a bell.

Re: Snow’s Room

[bondsofsuffering]

[Working his way up to Aster's jawbone.]

Only ringing a bell?

Re: Snow’s Room

[audacity]

[ easy as breathing to cant his head and allow easier access, shivering a little as snow goes ]

I'm a little rusty on it.

Re: Snow’s Room

[bondsofsuffering]

[When he speaks, it's into Aster's skin:]

Well, we can't really do a full lesson right now, but...

[A kiss on the lips is probably fine, right? And it's probably okay if he lingers there for a while, surely.]

Re: Snow’s Room

[audacity]

[ it's probably okay

aster definitely doesn't seem to mind ]
