Learning to Live Again - Kurt / Gelert

thebamfblueelf​:

“We can… fool around when we get to Germany und I have a better… grip on was all is happening.” He nodded to that sighing lightly before going to take his soulmates hand. Lifting it he kissed at his knuckles. He did feel so connected to this man. More then he ever expected possible. But he had never expected to have a soul mate. Not really. Not like others. With what he was, some monster really, he thought himself impossible.

The bath was uneventful as Kurt didn’t want to try for anything. Gelert was right. It would be distracting and they had a flight to catch. Which was easy enough to achive though Kurt did cling to the man more then he wanted to admit to. But this was and had been a lot quickly for him. A proper whirlwind with the only stable thing in it being Gelert. Not that Kurt minded, he was use to having nothing stable in his life so having someone was a blessing. But he was scared, he was worried, and his emotions were strung high and stayed as such all the way to Germany. Even through landing and lugage he was wound tight and kept at least a hand or his tail wrapped around the man scared of what he would find here.Gelert chuckled, feeling a little sheepish.   “I promise I’m not some sex-crazed mad man or anything.  The bond is just… I’ve never felt anything like it.  I promise to control myself, even when we get to Germany.  This trip is so you can find your family, so that should come first.”  He let out a soft sigh that was equal parts contentment and longing as Kurt’s lips brushed over his knuckles.  The blond still couldn’t believe this was all happening!  A soulmate!  After how many centuries?!

Gelert chuckled, feeling a little sheepish.   “I promise I’m not some sex-crazed mad man or anything.  The bond is just… I’ve never felt anything like it.  I promise to control myself, even when we get to Germany.  This trip is so you can find your family, so that should come first.”  He let out a soft sigh that was equal parts contentment and longing as Kurt’s lips brushed over his knuckles.  The blond still couldn’t believe this was all happening!  A soulmate!  After how many centuries?!  

True to his word, Gelert helped Kurt with his bath without too much teasing, and before he knew it they were on a plane with their fake passports and headed to Germany.  His soulmate seemed nervous and on edge; Gelert could practically feel it himself, so he let Kurt stay as close as he liked, not caring about any looks that were shot their way.  This man was his everything, and no one was going to take that from him or make them feel lesser for it.  Not ever!

Once they’d landed and collected their luggage, the blond nodded towards an airport café.  “Do you want anything before we head out?  To go, even?  And if not, what’s our next step?  A hostel, maybe?  Or is there someplace else you know you want to go right away?”  Kurt’s tension was palpable; Gelert just wasn’t sure what would work best to ease some of it away.  In truth, he wanted nothing more than to hold the man close and not let go until he felt the tension ease from all of those rigid muscles, but the blond wasn’t sure if that would be enough to help at this point.  He decided it was best to take his cues from Kurt for now.

No Expectations - Kurt / Gelert

thebamfblueelf​:

Kurt glanced back over his shoulder at the other before giving a weak warm smile. “Ah, I figured you would sleep more.” He teased idly going to look the other over a bit. “You look as tired as me.” Another warm tease as he moved about the kitchen shaking his head. “Nein nein, bitte have a seat it will be done soon just some basic breakfast sandwiches und tea. I have to head to the mansion today und get some work done.” He scrubbed a hand over his face. “I got a text someone fried the jet engine so I need to look at that, plus someone broke a panel on the danger room und Forge needs help installing it.” Kurt did work after all. “But that means I can introduce you to Kitty who would be the one considering your application though as I do want you to work there I doubt there will be any problems getting you a job.” Tail swished and he turned setting food out on the kitchen island not feeling like using the small dining room at the moment before looking to Gelert. “Are you alright?”

@thebamfblueelf​

Gelert liked the expression on Kurt’s face when he teased… it was comforting, in a way.  “Good sleep… could take time,” he admitted.  “But now that I’m here, I might be able to get back my typical sleep habits.  Once that happens, waking me up is likely to get a lot harder,” he admitted with a chuckle.

When Kurt said he didn’t need any help, Gelert did as suggested and took a seat.  As he listened to the other man talk, his spirits fell a little.  It sounded like Kurt would be gone all day… and that he’d be left here alone.  Gelert understood if Kurt’s work kept him busy, but he’d hoped…

Then the rest of what the other was saying registered.  He was going, too?!  “T-that sounds fantastic!” he replied, beaming.  “I mean, not all the problems, but getting to go with you.  And meeting your friends.”  He only assumed about the ‘friends’ thing, but Gelert wasn’t getting the indication that Kurt didn’t like anyone he worked with.  Not yet, at least.  “What time are we leaving?  Is there anything I should know before we get there?”

Gone to the Forest - Kurt / Oberon

thebamfblueelf​:

Kurt paused, biting his lip as he looked to the man. Oberon was so sweet. Too good for him in some respects. He didnt want to spiral down that negative thought train though already having derailed it earlier.

“It is nothing, mein shatzi.” He breathed out going to finish the last bit if the cleaning feeding the wild Bamfs along the way as he did so. “Just thinking of my friends. They tease me as they have not met you. Then my sister and closer friends tease on when we will get married since I am..” he hummed and turned smiling being a bit dramatic for fun. Hand on his forehead he cluched his chest as he spoke. “As I am running away to the woods with some mysterious older mann who they have never met but I am so madly in love with I am throwing away mein old life.” To which he snorted and laughed warmly shaking his head hand up and smoothing hair back from his face. “More like I am actually going to retire und spend time living a life I want with a person I want. Bit ach people are dramatic.” He smiled to Oberon at that shrugging as he hopped up to sit on the counter watching the fae.

@thebamfblueelf​

He watched his lover closely as Kurt first began to speak of his friends, trying to see and understand more than just the words.  He could see how their relationship as it was might seem odd (or even troubling) to Kurt’s friends.  Truthfully, as happy as the other made him, some part of the Fae had always assumed Kurt would eventually move forward with his own life and leave Oberon behind.  The king had seen himself as little more than a hindrance to the life Kurt deserved.  

Now, all of those assumptions had been turned on their heads (and some part of him breathed easier knowing he was what Kurt wanted.)  Oberon chuckled as the mutant mimicked his friends’ concerns, watching the melodramatic posturing with amusement.  Both brows shot up at the mention of marriage.  Marriage…?  Was that something Kurt wanted?  With him?  Knowing what he knew now, the notion seemed far less unlikely.  Kurt wanted to stay here with him - permanently.  But he shouldn’t just assume, should he?  Moving over to where Kurt sat on the counter, the Fae stood in front of him and reached out to gently cup his jaw, brushing a thumb across one cheek.  “It has been a very long time since I was called ‘husband,’ but I would welcome the name from your lips… if that is what you wish?”

For the first time in awhile, Oberon found himself longing for Hollow Earth so he could take Kurt there and make this offer properly.  He knew the perfect place - an open domed temple where all four seasons converged.  It was a sight to behold.  He could, of course, summon up the illusion of it… but he knew it wouldn’t feel the same.  Perhaps one day he’d find a way, but for now all that really mattered was Kurt’s answer.

ZODIAC: Leo

FAVORITE COLOR: Purple

FAVORITE SEASON: Autumn

FAVORITE PLACE: Any place with lots of history (and a good handful of ghost stories)

LAST SHOW YOU WATCHED: Uhh... Cowboy Bebop?

WHAT’S YOUR HONEST OPINION ABOUT YOUR MUSE?: Basil is so precious, but I feel terribly for him because he deserves so much, and just never seems to get it - a lot of that is his own fault - and also the time period he lives in.  But either way, I wish he was a little less meek.  I think that’s why I enjoy his immortal verse so much, because his age (and the changing times) have allowed him to shed most of that meekness.  He’s still polite, but he doesn’t let people walk all over him either.

WOULD YOU DATE YOUR MUSE?: Well - given my own sexuality (and his) - probably not?  I’m on the ace spectrum and Basil’s about as gay as someone can get.  I think we’d be terrific friends, though!  ^_^

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE KINDS OF THREADS?: Anything that gives my muse and my partner’s muse a happy ending.  Even if it’s not the same happy ending (i.e. they don’t wind up together) as long as things end happily, I’m good.

ARE YOU A SELECTIVE ROLEPLAYER?: I have things that I look for in a partner, yes, but I’ve never turned down anyone who asked for an RP.  I like to keep an open mind.  :) 

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE MUSE?: Hmm... not really?  I’ve got so many, and they all make me happy for different reasons, so... *shrugs*

WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO JOIN THE FANDOM?: I finally sat down and watched the 2009 movie, and just felt SO MUCH for Basil and his predicament.  I have watched friends drift away after introducing them to other friends before.  It hurts.  But Basil, like myself, kept trying to be a part of Dorian’s life in the best way he could.  So I connected with him in that way.  And I felt so indignant with how things ended for him that I decided to turn him into a muse and try to give him a few happy endings.  :)

DO YOU SEE YOURSELF STAYING WITH THE FANDOM FOR A LONG TIME?: I have never dropped a muse.  My activity can fluctuate depending on the number of RPs that muse has, but in over 5 years, I’ve never dropped one, so I think I can say with a lot of certainty that I’m not going anywhere.  ^_^

With Waking Nightmares - Kurt / Alejandro

thebamfblueelf​:

“Hm I would go for wait till I am asleep. Nightmares come naturally to me so not like you have to cause them und if I am asleep you won’t have much to worry about. They do tend to wake me up, so the window is about four to five hours.” Which was his normal sleep time. And he knew well enough his nightmares tended to crop up after about thirty minuets of sleep. Not like he hadn’t gotten medical help. Just most medication fucked with him in ways he wasn’t alright with. Smiling to the other he reached out rubbing a foot at his back teasingly.

“I mean this is a bit new for us, ja? We can see how it ends up in the morgen.“ Stretching he moved getting just under the sheet before turning out the lights. Settling in Kurt wasn’t awake long, and even then Alejandro didn’t have to wait long for the nightmares to come up for Kurt. – It was one of his standard ones, he knew that much. That slight awareness to it all. Cold iron bars caged him in and part of him hated that this was what his date would be seeing. Maybe it would work out. Or maybe it would just be too much. He didn’t know. This was a trial after all. Morphing shapes moved around the cage, mocking taunts and twisted faces filled the darkness as his heart started to hammer. Jerking slightly he paused noticing the chain in his ankle reaching down to try to grab it off only for more chains to shoot out wrapping around him and dragging him back through the darkness into the bright light of an exam table. It warped, as it so often did, to another memory that turned to pain. Twisted by fear and painted with the brush of dreams. He was being used again, experimented on. Prodded and poked, tested on like an animal. Shocks and a control collar on as they mocked and tormented him. He was bleeding, so much blood and he tried to fight, but chained up as he was, collared as he was, he couldn’t do much. Alejandro would get, as Kurt said, about four and a half hours before the man was bolting awake screaming.

@thebamfblueelf​

‘New for us.’  Alejandro contemplated disagreeing and then stopped himself.  Kurt was correct.  While feeding certainly wasn’t new to him, this method certainly was.  Not having to summon the nightmares himself was a rarity for the pesanta.  And having Kurt aware of his abilities and what was about to happen… well, he couldn’t recall that ever happening before either.  “In the morning,” he agreed, preparing to settle into the bed, as well.

He wondered if it was odd for the other man - having him there while he tried to drift off, but apparently not, as Kurt seemed to fall into sleep fairly quickly.  Alejandro waited, watching the mutant sleep, and wondering what sorts of terrors could keep such a man from sleeping peacefully every night.  He’d been told to expect about 4 to 5 hours worth of feeding, and the pesanta carefully set his phone to silently alert him when the time was near.  While it was typically easy to keep someone asleep for as long as he needed, he didn’t want to risk Kurt waking up prematurely.  Having their link severed that way could lead to complications… especially if the man were to decide he didn’t want to do this again.

As REM seemed to take over, Alejandro reached out and put a gentle hand on Kurt’s bare skin.  A connection wasn’t needed in his spectral form, but if he was going to stay in his human guise, then skin-on-skin contact was required.  With ease, the pesanta slipped into the other’s mind and instead of trying to encourage nightmares, he allowed Kurt’s subconscious full control.

As promised, the nightmares took little time to manifest.  Alejandro watch in a sort of sad horror as things unfolded.  He couldn’t deny wondering how much of what he was seeing was based in fact… too much, he suspected.  Far too much.  Not all nightmares were… but there was a level of detail to the scenes that left little doubt in his mind.  When his phone finally buzzed softly, the pesanta was almost grateful for it.  With the utmost care he withdrew from the mutant’s mind and waited for the other man’s eventual rousing.  The pesanta certainly felt sated, but what he’d forgotten were the feelings of guilt and shame that came from experiencing the fears and subconscious of someone he knew… someone he wanted to know better.

Lost - Kurt / Basil

thebamfblueelf​:

“Hm of course, I am in the area for a while so I would love to see the gute galleries when I am here.” He did enjoy such things, and wouldn’t mind going with someone who could enjoy it equally or more in any such notion. EAsily moving through the kitchen to start the tea he got the kettle on and set up the cups before moving to grab some basic green tea as he hadn’t gotten a large selection in yet as he hadnt been in the area long. He had only recently moved there for his work.

“I mean you are right, mein work gets complicated sometimes und is not always enjoyable.” But when you were fighting for your life and equal rights sometimes that did make things harder. Glancing over to Basil at that he tilted his head and smiled slowly flashing sharp teeth as he did so. “Ask away, Basil. I do not mind at all. Pry if you wish.” He winked giving a warm laugh as he turned and leaned against the kitchen counter arms crossed over his chest.

@thebamfblueelf​

Basil’s grin turned a little sheepish at Kurt’s words.  “I would never presume to tell someone else which galleries are good… but I’m happy to show you around my favorites.  It will be up to you to decide if our tastes are similar or not.  And I promise not to be offended if they’re not.”  The artist gave a soft laugh.  “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, after all.”

He watched as Kurt began to prepare for their tea. The playful wink had him flushing - heat rushing pleasantly up his neck to settle lightly on his cheeks.  “Well, I… you said it was complicated… and not always enjoyable?  But there must be a reason you still choose to do what you do, yes?  As opposed to other things, I mean?  Like the acrobatics… or the priesthood?”  Basil found his gaze following the lines of Kurt’s arms as he crossed them over his chest and mentally stopped himself.  The man had such remarkable form!  He wanted to run his fingers over every line… FOCUS, Basil!  Be polite!

Cabin in the Woods - Kurt / Remus

thebamfblueelf:

Kurt knew that look. No wolves were not new to him by any stretch of the imagination. “Gott I wish you were an Irish wolf.” Then he could throw clothes at him, yell, and be able to probably get the other to shift back. But no, not in this case. Darting swiftly past at the snap of jaws he was scrambling out the door and up a tree like some unhappy cat. Which would work fine. The night was, as he expected, exhausting. Nothing like playing hide and seek with a wild wolf to keep him on his toes and busy. Even more so since he was bleeding from a bite to his side, a slash to his back and the general normal cuts and bruises of falling, tumbling and running amok all night. But true to his word the wolf had only been focused on him and hadn’t wanted any other prey. Mostly because who could resist chasing a prey that put in the proper work and fight. As the sun came up Kurt was in the highest most point of a tree staring down at the wolf chucking pine cones at his head as he did so.

@thebamfblueelf​

As soon as the sun began to peek over the horizon, Remus felt himself begin to shift.  It was just as painful going back to human as it was turning into a wolf.  Howls turned gradually into cries, and then soft gasps before fading into silence as the wizard tried to take stock of himself… tried to remember the night before.  That was both a bane and a boon to his transformations - he recalled everything that took place in wolf form.  From the feel of the wind in his fur to the taste of flesh tearing between his teeth, those memories stayed with him every time.

As he came to his senses, Remus realized he was on two legs… his hands against a tree?  Why…?  His world swam as he tilted his head up… and up some more.  Blinking the haze out of his eyes, he took stock of a slightly fuzzy blue-black form…  Kurt!  The man who’d agreed to help him!  The very handsome man… who was now staring down at him… in all his naked ‘glory.’  

Trying to focus on anything but that fact, the werewolf pulled something else from his recent memory.  “Were - were you just chucking pinecones at me…?”  He let out a soft, sort of breathless laugh… and then collapsed to his knees as the fatigue finally took over.  “Damn!”  The curse was said softly as Remus tried to stand on his own and failed.  His next laugh came out more like a small sob, but he bit it off.  “You think by now I’d be used to the whole bloody mess,” he said, trying to keep his voice light.  He hadn’t prepared for the lack of clothes either; there hadn’t been a reason before Kurt showed up because the plan had been to stay in the cabin.  What was it the Muggles said about best laid plans…?  He couldn’t quite recall…  

Focus, Remus!

Looking back to Kurt, he continued, “I hope I didn’t damage you too terribly…?”  He seemed to recall getting in a few good swipes… may a nibble or two?  But the other had sworn everything would be alright no matter any of that.  Hadn’t he?
