[ a thin blush stained his cheeks but the images of the past flashed through his mind, one after another. all blurring together into a myriad mess of memories. there were the good and the bad, the ugly and the beautiful, all combining into his life experience above ground. ]
I will gladly tell you all the stories you'd like to hear. I used to love going to jazz clubs, sitting in some dark corner off to the side to not make anytime too unease. You know the prickle you get on the back of your neck? When your hair stands up and you just feel something? [ he paused, eyes closed for a moment. ] That's me - one of mine around.
I'm not sure if I looked good in the suits but I sure did like them. [ in the underworld, he usually wore robes and the like. mortal clothing choices were very different. ]
Hyunki, you are a beautiful thing and what makes me happy - [ he lifted his head to look up at hyunki. ] If I'm having a good dream, it is because of you. [ the bad dreams, the downright horrorific nightmares hadn't happened with hyunki yet, other than during their first meeting with one another. ] You are my dream.
[ He could see it in his head, all in sepia tones and clouded by cigarette smoke, Adder's eyes burning into the back of his head as he danced, maybe. It made him shiver, in a good way. ]
Did you like the music? Is that - something you're particularly into, or was it more the atmosphere? And I can tell you right now, despite never having seen you in one: you looked good in the suits. I know that for a fact.
[ He had to blush at Adder's next words, taken by them, by what they meant. The few times he had to sleep, he'd dreamed of Adder, himself. Meeting Adder's eyes, Hyunki brushed his thumb along his cheek. ] I'll keep the bad dreams away, as long as I can. As much as I can. I promise.
I liked the music a lot. [ adder agreed, mind slipping back in time for a few moments, shifting through all the memories. ] The atmosphere appealed to me and the attitudes. [ far more than the current one even before the war. he much preferred past eras to more modern ones. ]
We could go sometime, you know. There are those in the Underworld that can pull on strings of time.
[ his eyes fell shut and he let out a soft exhale. ] You do keep them away, Hyunki. You actually do ground me.
Time is different for us than it is for those topside - for mortals. [ adder explained with a slight shrug of one shoulder. ] We would be stepping through imprints, for what already exists and is known.
[ he believed it, he really did but he always loathed having to sleep and missing hyunki. sad, right? ]
Okay. [ he murmured, eyes falling shut as he drifted off slowly and fell asleep. his body curled tightly to hyunki's, fingers clutched there in his shirt. ]

[ That seemed impossible. But also so, so exciting, and his face showed it. ]
That's incredible.
[ Hyunki kept carding his fingers softly through Adder's hair, letting him relax. ] Then go to sleep, Adder. I'm here.
