Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bornes' smile left him, his face overcome with worry.
What had he done?

Had they had sex?? Isiah was acting quite raunchy. His eyebrows creased together in his thought. He straightened his back so he was laying perpendicular on the bed, still facing Isiah, his arms holding his chest up.

Bornes' a** didn't feel like he had received. Had he given? To Isiah? That seemed odd. No, Bornes wouldn't have had sex. He knew better than that.
His tail twitched a bit above him as he tried to remember. He couldn't remember why they had started kissing. Who had started it? Did Bornes start it? It must have led to something. But what? A hand job?

Bornes wearily looked toward Isiah. He didn't want to admit he didn't remember, but...
"I can't remember the start of it," that was only a half-lie. "Did I kiss you, or did you kiss me at first? I know we took turns with who was on top..."
His unsureness showed.

Bornes brought his knees up above his back, like a girl. His feet were still tired, and them being in the air felt good.. Or interesting. He couldn't decide.

"I bit you?" He rested his chin on his hands, thinking.
"Oh! Yes! I did!" He licked his lips. "Yes, I remember now. You taste good."
He remembered the biting, not what happened entirely afterward...

His mind wandered for a moment, then he came back. "I remember bits and pieces," Bornes pushed, trying to comfort Isiah as he leaned a bit forward.

Bornes sighed, and slid off the cot, going over to Isiah and squatting near him, feeling a bit guilty.

"I'm sorry," he whispered. "That doesn't mean you aren't memorable."

Bornes frowned, putting his hands on Isiah's shoulders and turning him on his back. "Stop being a woman," he mocked.

"You are better than this. You are..." Bornes frowned more deeply, pushing his hands onto Isiah's still-bare chest, before he spotted the hickey on Isiah's shoulder. "Ah! See! This. I remember doing that." He gently rubbed his thumb over the bruise.

Bornes looked hurt, and exhaled heavily through his nose.
"It wasn't as if I chose... to forget. I haven't drunk anything in a long time..."

He sighed and dropped down to his knees, leaning in closer to Isiah.
"I liked what I remember. Is that not good enough?"

Bornes gave a weak smile. "I know," he lamented, licking his lips as his eyes locked with Isiah's. Bornes began to pet the other man, dragging his hand across the other's side. It seemed like the right thing to do.

He wanted to know what he did, but now probably wasn't the best time to ask. Maybe tomorrow. There was definitely a connection going on here now, but Bornes felt like he was giving Isiah a favor- not that it was actual love.

Maybe tomorrow he could put it off again, or explain better... But he wasn't sure. He needed to sleep, first.

Bornes sighed. "They are. Thank you." He pushed himself up with a grunt and went back to the cot, flopping on his back, spread eagle.

He was so tired, he actually fell asleep like that. Truly rare occurrence.

Bornes slept through most of the day, but woke up around 3pm to the sun burning his eyes through his eye lids. He searched around for his glasses, falling off the bed. But he finally found them and put them on, rolling onto his back and sleeping for another three hours on the ground like that before he woke up again at sundown.

And when he did wake up at sundown, his entire body ached. He got up, hearing and feeling bones and joints pop as he groaned. He had a headache, and still felt tired, but forced himself up anyway, staggering a step or two.
Hangover? But he didn't get those. Maybe it was just because of the way he'd slept, and all the walking he had done.

He braved a few stretches, more joints popping and cracking followed by a mix of grunts and groans. After he finished his morning routine, he stepped outside.

"I'm going to get water," he hoarsed, and then walked toward the well.
Despite how stupid it sounded, Bornes was waiting to be acknowledged by Kaegan. He wanted to feel like he was useful.
