It was strange, being this close to Hatter. Cant had never really touched him, at most held his hand. But the way the King had left him, he was lying on top of Hatter, in the giant chair. "Hatter...are you...o-okay?" he whispered, a hand resting on the back of the human's neck, pulling himself so that he was straddling him. His own ruby red eyes peering into the male's pale green orbs. His lips were trembling; Hatter was so beautiful, and he had been hurt so badly.

"I...I'll be just fine,.." Hatter whispered, voice shaking as he cried, clinging to Cant for comfort. Right now, though he was bleeding and bruised, he craved physical attention, he himself wanted to hurt someone—to cancel out the pain he was feeling. "Cant..." he whispered, pale lips brushing against on e of the shapeshifter's most sensitive parts the ears. "Would you stay with me tonight? I'll let you go...in the morning, but I need you tonight..."

Cant looked a bit confused at the man's words, but shivered at the touch of silky lips upon his ears and hot breath on his neck. His physical wants much outweighed what his mind was telling him, Logic had not stuck around when his daily dose of Kingly abuse had come around. "I'll stay...I'll do what you want me to do tonight..." he whispered, his ear twitching slightly.

"You promise you won't leave?" Hatter inquired, looking at Cant face on, getting closer as he spoke. He couldn't wait for an answer, it was killing him, and he didn't think that Cant would just leave him there to die. His lips collided with the other male's, hands moving from stiffly on either side of him to around the shapeshifter's waist as he deepened the kiss.

Cant had barely opened his mouth to reply when the man had captured his lips in a kiss. It had caught him slightly off of his guard, but he quickly recovered, kissing him back as his eyes shut, biting Hatter's lip gently. He could barely breathe, he had wanted this so badly and it made his heart race. He pulled away for a moment, catching his breath. "Hatter...are you certain it is good for us to be doing this?" he whispered, knowing that if Cheshire found out, Hatter would only get hurt worse.

"I don't care, Cant, if it's good or not. I want this more than anything...you're my only companion..." he whispered, kissing him again, gently tugging the other male's shirt off of his body. "I love you...and I can't hold myself together anymore..."

Cant was surprised to hear the man speak so bluntly. He usually walked around everything, trying to not tell the truth; at least not all of it. "Whatever you want..." he whispered, smiling.

The talking stopped there. All of their moves made up for the silence.

Not far away, the Cheshire cat was watching their every slight move, listening to their every word. He was not happy with Cant for disobeying...
