Welcome to Gaia! ::

Don pouted, opening his mouth to retort quite passionately at his beloved.. Until he found himself being kissed that was! He had been waiting for it, admittedly, and now he was finally receiving the kiss, he for one was not going to let it stop before it had to, no indeed! He slid a broad hand up Zassys back to cradle the back of the nymphs head, holding him to himself gently but firmly, moving his lips softly over the nymphs. It felt better than anything, just like it had last time. He craved this sort of contact more than anything with his love, they did not usually get anywhere near enough time to allow themselves to get lost in each others company like this. He did need to breathe just a little though, and he pulled away from the nymph as little as he could, breathing against the others lips,
"You don't scare me! I just.." He pressed his lips to Zassys again for a moment, "Can't think of things to say to you that could matter.." He kissed him yet again, "Besides, how can I when you do such wonderful things like this to me all the time we do..?" And again, his lips were coving the nymphs yet again.

Don smiled down, as gently as he could, at his beloved, still smoothing a hand up and down the soft curves of the slender nymphs back.
"Ah, don't worry, love.. I don't mind at all what you say.. It's a bit pathetic really!" He grinned, pressing a kiss to the nymphs forehead as his chin was nosed.. Then he paused listening carefully for a long while to his loves words, enjoying the feeling of those soft skinned delicate fingertips.
Did he..?
"Love..?" He looked down to Zassy's face, his eyes meeting those large expressive blue ones, "Love, Zassy.. Are you sure..?" He asked again, a small hopeful smile creeping across his lips an eyes. He'd never have expect his beloved to ask him to do something so naughty! And frankly, there was never going to be any way that he could say no to him, not when he sounded like he needed the contact so badly. Don certainly wasn't going to complain too much!
"Babe.. You know I can't refuse you.. I can't leave until I get thrown out on my butt.." He snuggled their faces close once again, pressing their cheeks together.

The griffin chuckled, folding his arms completely around the slender figure that was trying to burrow into his shoulder.
"Zassy, love.. I promise I'm not expecting you to well.. Give yourself to me still.." He tried to choose his words carefully, knowing just how easily embarrassed his beloved could get when sex was openly talked about, "I said I wasn't going to leave you, my love.. So I'm not going to, I'm not expecting anything from you.. Just a nice warm bed.." He started, lifted Zassy to hold him against himself as he walked across the room to the bed, which he sat on the edge of, "And a whole nice of cuddling you against me.." He smiled down at the hiding nymph still. True, he didn't know what Zassy's expression was doing right now, but whatever it was, he was still going to smile gently for him.
"I love you, babe.. I love you enough to not need more from you until you're ready to give it, I can wait until you feel more secure, love.." He dipped his head to run his nose along one of those pretty long ears and press a kiss to his temple.
In hind sight, he was a little pleased that he was hiding against him for the time being.. The mention of fishnets had.. Summoned up some interesting pictures in the depths of his head.
"Love, you know I can't help thinking.. I can't say it's such a bad image.. One day maybe, huh..?" He couldn't help the gentle tease, "I mean, after we're married.. We have to be as naughty as we can before we start having kids, eh..?" He arched an eyebrow, looking fairly entertained at the thought.

Don just about managed to repress the chuckle that was trying to escape him as the curling reaction he was receiving from Zassy. He shouldn't have said that, but he prided himself on his honestly with the nymph, so he didn't feel too ashamed.
"But Zassy.. I love you.. And you're not going to what..?" He queried with a gently teasing voice, "You're not gonna be bad..? Ever..?"

Just for a moment, the griffin paused, looking quite shocked, to say the least.
"Love..?" He started, eyebrows arching for a moment then slipping down again slowly, "I'm sorry, love. I.. Don't mean to be." He offered him eventually, by means of an apology.
"I'm not always mean to you, am I..?" The sudden outburst of smacks to his shoulder seemed to have shocked the griffin a little, it wasn't just everyday that the sweet nymph tried so hard to hurt him, it was incredibly wrong footing.

Don sat and listened carefully to what Zassy had to say on this matter, clasping his hands in his lap as his attentions where spurned for a few moments by the love of his life. He stayed quite quiet for a moment. Truthfully, it hurt quite a lot to be thrown into the same category as his beloveds parents and the urge to rise on the defensive did occur to him for a while, but now wasn't the time or the place for that, what his Zassy really needed, he knew, was some reassurance.
He rose to his feet and carefully tucked his arms back around the nymphs waist after he crossed the floor back to the window.
"Hey love.. You know after that I won't be able to leave at all unless you're with me, don't you..?" He told him quite simply. Hopefully he'd get the message in that short phrase, "Because I love you, so much.. I honestly can't be without you, even if you do hate my head sometimes."

The griffin stood quietly beside and slightly behind his beloved, listening very carefully to what he was saying. It broke his heart to see how upset his beautiful little Zassy was becoming all the while he had to stay here. He had always though that his family's grand home seemed like such a nice homely, if grand, place to reside, but the more he listened the more it became an oppressive place.
"Don't worry love.." He murmured softly to his nymph, lifting one hand to touch, then cup Zassy's delicate little chin and then his cheek, coaxing him to look up just a little so that he could carefully press his lips against his slightly damp pale cheek.
"I know you don't mean it at all when you think about it. I'm sorry, so very very sorry, that I can't stop them for hurting you either. If I could you know I would, my love.." He continued, carefully turning Zassy within his arms to hold him close and whisper gently into one of his delicately pointed ears, to tell him that things were going to be okay, even if he couldn't tell at this point whether they were going to be or not.
"I don't understand why they have something against me.. I know I never make the best of impressions, but.." He shook his wings a little, pausing..
His lovely little Zassy needed reassurance.. But he needed to spread his own wings too, and that just couldn't happen if he were cooped up here forever, so perhaps he was in need of just a little firm but gentle encouragement..? Okay.. Maybe not so gentle then.
He wondered if Zassy was going to hurt him for this.
"I believe, my love.. That we will get married!" He started off, leaning forward to unhook the latch to the large windows through which he had entered the room, moving the pair of them slightly closer to the ledge as the windows swung open, "Ad I say that because.. I am going to take you away and I'm going to show you my family.. And after that.. I think we shall get married! And I think that following that.." He continued, holding, Zassy firmly against him as he climbed the ledge carefully, "We shall tell your parents that we are.. And invite them to a more formal ceremony.. That way," He grinned what he hoped was reassuringly, "They can finally give their blessing one way or another.. And if not, then you'll already have a more caring family for when we get back from them!"

Don couldn't help the gentle smile as he tightened his arms all the more around his beloved, holding him as close as possible. It would be impossible for his to hold his any closer for the time being as he crouched steadily on the window ledge, his wings tucked back, clear of the window's frame. He wasn't going to say anything to worry Zassy, but a knock to them as he hopped out and into the space between him and the ground below wouldn't be such a good thing.
"It's okay, my love.. I've got you." He soothed into his ear, shifting one of his arms down to tuck around and under the top of the nymphs leg, further showing that he really was set on going through with this.
"Your father.. Can be as silly as he wants.. But he's not going to be able to upset you any more! I'm not going to let him!" He smiled, nuzzling his nose against the soft blonde curls, "I think your mother will be happy though, right..? I don't think she'll let him be too stupid about anything, my love! And your things?" He kissed his forehead, "Well if they try and withhold them, I'm pretty sure my sister would enjoy the challenge of getting them back for you!" He teased a little, his sister was notorious at home for getting what she wanted, one way or another, and for a price, either a favour or the simple victory of winning, there was no limit to what she would try and succeed in getting for herself!
"Zassy.. I love you.. I'll never leave you.. I'm going to marry you, and we'll make our own family!" He kissed at the nymphs ear, "My father will adore you.. He'll make you feel more at home with us than you have ever been here.. ANd what's to say.." He kissed him again, "That your family will shun you? Love, I think your mother will be happy, I don't think they'll be angry when they have had tome to think about it for a while."
And with that he tensed his legs, ready to leap, "Are you ready..?"
