Reed stared in awe at the room. "It's so big." he whispered quietly.
Julian chuckled from behind him. "You like books?"
Reed shook his head. "No, not really. I mean, I like reading, but I'm not a book person, really. I'm more of a painter." He blushed "But it looks like the library from Beauty and the Beast."
Julian frowned, confused. "What?"
Reed blushed slightly, letting out a giggle. "Sorry, it's a mundane story tale."
Julian nodded, understanding. He started to pull Reed over to the massive fireplace at the side of the room. "I thought we could relax here for a but before we start training." He smiled, his voice softening as he watched Reed relax into one of the bean bags.
"That sounds like a good idea." Reed smiled.
"Why don't you tell me how living up amongst mundanes was?" Julian smiled.
"well, it wasn't as bad as you may think. I mean, sure it was a pain to have to put up with their obliviousness, and I did get teased a bit, always being called the boy with the cult tattoes, but it wasn't so bad." Reed continued to talk, telling Julian all about life until now. But Julian had stopped paying attention. His concentration was now wavering between that little bit of shoulder he could see, and Reed's lips.
"Except I alwa-mphmf!" Reed was cut off by Julian's lips on his own. He froze for a few seconds, before melting into the kiss.
Julian pulled away with a grin. "Sorry, couldn't resist. By the way?" Julian leant in to kiss Reed again. "Your face tastes awesome." he whispered.
