[Flamebringer is, uh. He is uh.

He's home! Completely dead-eyed as he walks into the bunnkery, bleeding because he got a knife lodged in his shoulder thanks Ghost-Sesa, cut up because of other objects that fell on his head, tired, moderately injured thanks to bullets and grenades...

He doesn't even greet Ezell. His muscles have automatically carried him here on instinct, and luckily for the bakery itself, the instinct to shut the door so that the bunnies don't leave remains... nothing else does, though, even as he begins to shuffle upstairs.]

[There's a note pinned to Ezell's bedroom door with tape, written in shakier-than-usual handwriting, which means Flamebringer definitely is (definitely was?) drunk when he wrote this.

It has a single sentence written.]

i am being crushed under the weiht of how hevily i fuck w u

[He's in his room across the hall, please go get him.]

[Flamebringer has dragged Ezell off to the beach. Thanks Sinann for your travel boon even though the river is frozen and they had to ice raft their way here. It's the sort of chaotic start to Ezell's birthday that Flamebringer wanted, which is why they left at "nebulously the 29th" so they could get there on time.

The beach is cold, and snowy, and wet. It's dreary and kind of sad and not exactly the perfect setting, but there's a reason Flamebringer wanted to get away for a bit. When they get to the cabanas, he's quick to head onto the attached patio and light up the fire pit, and then he proceeds back inside. Is he melting the snow, or...?

Either way, Ezell gets to sit wherever he wants, be it in the bedroom (which he's decorated in advance with rose petals and candles) or on the kitchen counter or whatever, because Flamebringer is making them dinner.

It's not going to be restaurant-quality, but it's dinner. Home cooking, really. Flamebringer is sort of clumsy in the kitchen and keeps dropping the bottle of cooking oil, oops.]

[After breakfast and when Ain has a minute, Ezell has probably sensed this. Energy from Ain ever since Add showed up. Now to be fair, Ain's the one who dragged him here (he was snake-bitten and delirious and Ain's a worrywart), and yeah they were laying on each other, but.

He will go to Ezell's room and gently hold one hand in both of his, sit on his bed, panic. Blush wildly. Panic harder. Aaaaaa.]

What does it mean when a man you've known for three years starts touching you everywhere and calls you beautiful and cute?! [Pause.] The man is Add, by the way!

[And then he realises he real-named him and he just. Covers his mouth with his hand now, leans forward so he's laying over his own legs, folded in half, face against his knees.

Screams.]

[Whenever Ezell and Wolfwood are at the apartments, Ain — who wants attention, because what else does he ever want — will approach both of them and drag them both off to his apartment room.

He then takes their hands in both of his, holding onto them and swinging them in a way that says "oh no, he wants something". The tip of his tail starts wagging...]

Can we have a threesome? [sir] It doesn't have to be right now if you're busy. I just want to try something.

[Flamebringer is on a roll with art lately and therefore Ezell is going to be his next victim i mean canvas... again. He's already given Ezell tattoos on his shoulders and thigh, but Flamebringer thinks that his fiancé can have More Of Them.

He spends a while designing. Thinking of Ezell not in thick, ugly lines like he'd put on himself, but delicate and beautiful ones. The things he likes are obvious; Flamebringer doesn't feel the need to hinge on flower imagery to give something meaning, for once. For some strange gay reason, he thinks of Ezell in terms of falling leaves and sunshine, and that's the precise inspiration for the design he makes that he wants to put on Ezell's back. Last-second, he goes back and sketches some butterflies, thinking to himself that it would be a lot more vibrant if he coloured it... it reminds him of a garden either way, and it feels right.

Gay thoughts aside, when Flamebringer stands up to head downstairs to show Ezell this, he suddenly thinks to himself that he wants to include a design on Ezell's front, too, one he can see easier than the one on his back between his wings. Ezell has been waxing poetic about bugs recently, and while Flamebringer doesn't exactly bugs too often — he looks at them and politely removes them from his plants, but doesn't focus on the details — he sits back down and sketches out a cute moth he saw once.

This, too, reminds him of Ezell. A cute moth. No flower language here, Ezell is just the most adorable little bug to him. Sighs, Flamebringer would love Ezell if he were a worm, it seems.

Deciding that the moth would go on Ezell's sternum just underneath his chest, partly because Flamebringer thinks it's hot and... okay... entirely because Flamebringer thinks it's hot— he gets up, satisfied, and wanders into Ezell's bedroom across the hall. Knock knock it's your future husband—]

[So. Vash has shown up dead and bleeding on the dimensional library's doorstep. Ydalir has stocked her shop with an item that, while romantic on the tin, will let Ain keep track of his partners... and Ain fears that if he takes his eyes off of them for a second, one or all of them will show up dead like Vash did.

It makes him insanely anxious. Ezell doesn't need help sensing emotions, but Ain does. Ain needs to know where Ezell is at all times. Ain needs to know if Ezell is scared so he can show up and kill whatever it is making him fear for his life. Ezell needs some of Ain's powers to keep himself safe in case Ain can't get there in time.

Of course, Ezell will probably feel Ain's emotions from a mile away as the little faun springs up to Ezell and suddenly slaps a bracelet on his wrist, but the sudden feeling of knowing exactly where Ain is will no doubt be new to Ezell. He doesn't say anything, not at first, as he hands Ezell an amulet and sits down next to him, wherever he is right now.]

...Vash is dead. And I don't want anything bad to happen to you, and to be unable to help. So... if you could just wear this so I can sense where you are and how you're feeling, and sometimes send you messages when we're apart... and the necklace, too, Ms. Trader said it would let you borrow some of my magic a couple times... that would make me feel a little better.

I don't want you to leave me like he did.
