Ezekiel lingered on the ground for only a moment or two before rolling up to his feet as well, no closer to working through the tangle of emotion than he had been. The problem was, the more he thought about it, the more time he actually spent in Julian's company, the more plausible it actually seemed. Taking a step forward, put a hand on the wall the side of Julian's head, over his shoulder. "Part of the problem here is that it's not completely implausible." Hard to say exactly what he would do in a similar situation, but one conclusion he had come to. "I couldn't just sit back and watch you die." It wasn't just the dying. That made his stomach twist uncomfortably, but it wasn't the only thing weighing on his mind.

In response, Julian folded his own arms slowly, uneasily, over his chest -- and frowned up at Ezekiel more aggressively. It was a closed in sign, to hide the tingling up and down the side of his neck, the fine hairs rising -- "Yeah, well, I'd rather not die, so that works for me."

Ezekiel's other hand came up, mirroring the first on the other side of Julian's head. The blonde's body language practically screaming at him, radiating unhappiness. "Then I guess you better stay close." There was a challenge in his words,unhappy and gruff.

"Or suck it up and learn how to take care of myself." He was shrinking, just a little, but at least he cocked his head and managed to meet Ezekiel's eyes. And he was only blushing a little bit, a slow creep along his jaw and down his throat. "I could do that, too."

"You could," Ezekiel admitted, the corners of his lips twitching minutely. His eye dipped, taking in that soft spread of rosy color as it rose along pale skin to cover Julian's cheeks. He didn't give himself time to think about what he was doing or what it meant. He flicked his eye up to meet that dark gaze, lingering there for just a second, then he was leaning in, head turning, so he could catch the blonde's lips.

It surprised Julian into a helpless, frozen stillness: mouth parted just a touch and breath held as his shoulders tensed up like stone. For a moment, he stayed like that: not quite giving in to it, but also not exactly unwilling. It was more like he didn't know what to do, with the color spreading across his cheeks and his head cocked, just a tiny bit, into it -- All at once he came back to himself and jerked away, breath coming in sharp gulps and arms tangled across his stomach. He didn't know what to say, and didn't want to think about it, and so he took off at a full-tilt run, back toward the castle.
