The night in Dahngrest was clear; the weather had been great all day. The streets had mostly quieted down, the people preparing for the next day. The moonlight was shining on the empty walkways. Only the streets with nightlife-oriented establishments were crowded with people laughing, talking, yelling, having a good time. The Sagittarius was full of laughter and the occasional community singing.
Two men, each with one arm going behind the other's neck, stepped out of the tavern, their wobbly walk revealing both had had quite a lot to drink. They slowly started making their way towards the inn. They were both constantly laughing, though neither was really aware of what they were laughing at.
Upon reaching a bench, the taller man hopped on it and leaned his shoulders against the back rest, turning his head toward the sky.
"Oi, Raven. Let's stay here", the man shouted. The other man, the one he'd spoken to, watched him in mild surprise.
"Eh? Dat ain't the inn… an' dat Rita swore she'd burn me ta ashes if we stayed out ta late…" the older man recalled earlier events, though he didn't look very worried despite the mage's threats.
Yuri swung his head back up, his hair getting slightly tangled in the bush behind the wooden bench.
"Ohh don't worry 'bout that old man, I'll protect ya", Yuri smirked and pointed himself with his thumb. Raven looked at the swordsman and smiled.
Yuri laid back against the back rest and sighed, humored. "An' besides, we're already so wasted we're not gonna be in any shape by morning anyway." And they both burst out howling in laughter.
After they calmed down, both men silently observed their surroundings. There were few passers-by; most of them also out for some fun. Many greeted Raven, and the archer waved back happily.
Yuri had also met a few people at the den of guilds and smiled at his acquaintances, making some confused for a moment how in the world was Yuri so cheerful.
An acquaintance of Brave Vesperia's from another new guild came over and tried striking up a conversation, but soon gave up as neither Raven nor Yuri was at their best, and waved them bye.
Yuri turned to the almost cloudless sky again and suddenly paid attention to all the shining stars. "Hey, old man… those stars… they're reeeally pretty", the swordsman muttered. "Eh, ya sure?" the old man said, and bending his back turned to see the dark heavens.
The long-haired youth laughed. "C'mon, from here. C'mon sit here, old man", Yuri shouted and patted the empty bench on his side. He felt the man sit down, and kept gazing at the stars.
"So many… Oi, izzat Brave Vesperia?" Raven asked. The swordsman didn't even bother checking if the man was pointing anywhere; the guild's namesake shone much brighter than any light in that night. "Yeah."
Yuri took a pause. "The most beautiful star of them all." "Not as pretty as ya, Yuri."
Yuri blinked, and turned his gaze down, to the man on his side. Raven was still looking to the sky, a content smile on his face. The youth grinned.
Raven's line of sight to the night sky was suddenly blocked by Yuri's face, smiling with mischief. The swordsman had gotten up from his seat and was now straddling the man.
"What are you planning", the younger man said, looking the other man in the eye.
Raven grinned, as if he had just had the greatest idea of all time. "Oh, I don' need ta plan, ya came ta my lap on yer own", he whispered in his low, seductive tone, and looked very satisfied with himself. Yuri snorted, amused. "Bastard."
The youth leaned forward and kissed his man. Raven answered him eagerly, willingly parting his lips. He felt Yuri's tongue playing with his, and already being very sensitive due to being under the influence, he moaned into the kiss.
Raven felt his lover start sliding off his jacket, and wrapped his arms around the youth's lower back, feeling his way down to Yuri's ass. The archer thought he also heard Yuri moan, and caressed his behind.
As the youth started unbuttoning Raven's pink shirt after getting the two other ones slightly out of the way, the archer suddenly felt self-conscious. He broke the passionate kiss they had been sharing.
Yuri looked slightly surprised and disappointed, but as he turned to look behind him, where Raven was gazing, he understood. Some passers-by had stopped to watch them, either contempt or surprise in their expressions due to the men's behavior in public. One girl seemed somewhat interested even.
Yuri looked back to Raven's face; the man was drawing back his arms from the youth's back. Raven grinned, slightly embarrassed but putting up his usual confident act. "Let's go get a room, honey."
It had been a while since I wrote something of my favorite couple! It turned out a little shorter than I had expected.
...due to popular demand I might continue this, though I had intended this an one-shot. I'm thinking up ideas, we'll see. Will probably turn mature if I do write more~ I'm just... I don't think I'm the right person to decribe such an display of emotion. I'll see how it goes from here.
