Alot had gone on lately. This was the understatement of the Year. Kuronue snorted to himself his purple bangs glinting in the sun as he warmed himself.
The hart was at a loss. His oldest friend and his new one were well, fighting. He seemed to have missed the boat on this one. The Stags violet eyes narrowed in irritation. He needed to talk to Elios, only issue was would he like what Elios had to say?
Elios had always been quiet, and Kuronue being what he was he craved responses, action. He tired to get a rise out of the bitter beauty just to see his inner spirit, he was so glum all the time. Even when Elios was angry it was better then his hooded sulking.
In this Kuro believed his harassment all in good humor and indeed vital. Why if Elios were anymore closed off he'd need to check for breathing to make sure the Hart was still alive.

Said bitter beauty was making his way out of the forest, looking as solemn as usual. His doe-like deep teal eyes were alert, yet looked rather unamused and blank. A glint of silver made him qince as he was momentarily blinded. What the-.....?
Oh. He saw what it was now. Kuronue, his long time traveling companion and friend. He hesitated, wondering if he should approach the other. A few things had tested the waters of their friendship lately, one of them being another younger male trying to woo the Scythe-headed buck.
He stayed where he was instead, nibbling berries to look busy should the other turn around.

Kuronue sensed the the other behind him he was about to turn when he he caught the scent and relaxed. It was only Ellios....
Speak of the devil, Elios. He supposed now was as good a time as any to breach the subject. It had to be dealt with, and sooner then later. He thought recalling Shika's possessive expression.
Taking a deep breath he called out. "Oh bitter one! I know you're there...why don't ya come on over take a seat...I need to have a lil chat with you. That is if ya don't mind." he said trying to keep his tone light.

Elios's ears perked and he frowned lightly. Bitter one? Was he really that moody to have gotten such a nickname?
He walked over slowly before folding his legs under him and plopping down beside the other, looking at anything but the other hart.
His little wings ruffled, stretching and folding themselves onto his back again.
"So...What is it?," he asked, still avoiding eye contact with the other. It was unnerving how easily his stomach fluttered just by being near Kuronue.

Kuronue tilted his head one violet eye locking in on Elios. "What ya arn't gonna look at me?" he paused.
"Well in anycase I had a friend of mind speak to me the other day. Seemed to think you didn't like him, though you guys had never before spoken. Turning himself so he faced Elios directly. "He said you even warned him away from me. Tell me honestly my bitter beauty...what is going on between you and shika?"

Elios was silent for a moment, frowning at the ground.
"What, it's a crime to not like somebody? He's a brat, plain and simple. I don't like brats," he said with a shrug," And I see the way he looks at you. You're just a flirt-toy for him," he said, an ear giving a flick.
"You can't tell me you don't see it," he said, finally looking at the other to gauge his reaction.

Kuronue did not get angry at the easy barbs carefully watching his friend. "I am well aware of what I am to him, same as he is to me, and he's a pretty little brat worth chasing and claiming if only for a bit of fun..."
However....I can fight my own battles this you know well. And that is not the core issue. You have never reacted this way in the past. I want to know why Elios..."
Why did YOU warn him away. You arn't telling me the whole truth." "You know how I am about two faces and liars. "I know exactly what Shika is...and what he isn't."
"It's you I can't figure out. What is it you want?"
He frowned deeply, his carefree Merriment gone.

Elios sighed inwardly, but otherwise remained stoic as he stared at the other. Damnit. He'd underestimated the aloof hart when it came to romantics. After all, as far as Elios knew, Kuronue had never once had a serious mate.
A part of him hesitated to say anything, another part boiling and ready to burst out the truth.
Between a combination of both he found some strange sort of peace and a bit of courage. He let it grow, not answering quite yet.
"I just think you should find someone actually worth chasing is all," he muttered quietly.

Kuronue looked down. "Don't you get it Eli? I chase beacuse I can and because I haven't found someone yet . If the right Hart came forward why...I'd give it all up, and belong to him alone. But the only hart's interested in me...are the ones who see me as a buck to brag about. I want someone who is a companion...who knows all sides of me. That herla...I wouldn't chase no,,,if I could be loved I'd follow him to the depths of darkness. But know one sees me as worthy beyond a quick well...you know."
"I want a family Elios I want to walk proudly beside someone with fawns of my own....not as someones one night stand. So don't grumble to me about the game I play I play it because I have nothing else."

Kuronue had told him these things countless time when they would huddle for warmth on the cold nights of their journey. He understood them and yet here he was badgering the other for something he had no control over.
Elis felt a pang of guilt stab through his chest and another of pain when Kuronue mentioned he hadn't found the right buck. So that means it wasn't him who was supposed to be at the others side...
Kuronue was still looking for someone else.
A very small, very sad smile reached his features and he hung his head, his hair covering his features, hiding them away from Kuronue.
"I see..," he said quietly.

Kuronue looked at him misinterpreting his quiet words. "You've got nothing to worry about Elios. And I don't want pity... " "He pushed himself to his hooves. "Hey at least I know you'll find a guy that's worthy.."
"After all I mean, you're smart, loyal, beautiful. I mean...if I was that guy, I'd be the luckiest buck in all the lands." he cleared his throat. "Make sure he knows all your quirks ya know? Like how you like moonlit walks and quiet naps by the fire at night."
"Things...things like that are important."
He swallowed and looked down.
Damn.
Here he was trying to get to Elios' true feelings and instead he nearly revealed his own. It was just another thing that proved to kuronue that he was little more thena good friend. He wasn't worthy of Elios' heart this he knew. He used to dream as Elios listened to him, and he thought....but no it was obvious he was being kind to him as always, well...he was lucky to have Elios in his life at all...he would take what he had and be grateful.

Elios blushed, ears perking and eyes widening a bit at Kuronue's words.
Loyal? Smart?....Beautiful?
Elios rose to his hooves as well, tilting his head slightly at the other and taking a few steps towards him, a few inches away from the others face. He studied it before leaning forward and giving Kuronue's cheek a small lick.
"I.....I've been your companion," he stuttered, blushing brightly but forging forward," I've s-seen all your sides...I...w-walk proudly beside you and you aren't even mine...,"
He looked to the ground shyly, hooves shuffling.
'' Who'd'ya think you're kiddin'
He's the Earth and heaven to you
Try to keep it hidden
Honey, we can see right through you
Boy, ya can't conceal it
We know how ya feel and
Who you're thinking of...''
His ears perked and he blushed further. What if....Kuronue was just saying all those things as his friend? I mean, they had been friends a long time...
''You keep on denying
Who you are and how you're feeling
Baby, we're not buying
Hon, we saw ya hit the ceiling
Face it like a grown-up
When ya gonna own up
That ya got, got, got it bad....''
"..........Chase me, Kuro," he said softly, gently touching noses with the other.
"....I won't run,"

Kuronue couldn't breathe. It, No. No this was a dream and he was going to wake up and Elios was going to be a grump and and OH GOD! HE had to answer he HAD to answer. If he didn't Elios would think he didn't WANT him. SPEAK IDIOT!
If ever there was a moment for your stupid Comments and witty remarks it's NOW.
Kuronue's Eyes meanwhile had been growing steadily bigger while his inner war raged on. He managed a slight wheeze.
"Wait...what?" Kuronue let out dazed.
"I oh...this..."I can't speak.
I, it...please don't think I don't....
I DO...I just
Kuronue was drowning fast in his own words his eyes pleaded for Elios to understand.

Elios watched him, getting a tad worried.
He relaxed when Kuronue managed to bumble a few words, and those few words meant all the world to him.
He smiled...actually smiled, and it lit up all the way to his eyes, soft and warm.
He nuzzled the other, hoping to calm him.
"I'll still be here," he assured him. He gave him another little lick but then backed away and turned to leave, letting Kuronue have a moment.
He needed to have his own as well, after all. His heart felt as if it were about to burst with joy.

Kuronue was light headed and he lay down heavily.
Forcing himself to go through focused breathing he tried to pull himself together.
To think he had dreaded this conversation. Elios...had feelings for him. This meant so many things. But it also meant things would come to a head now.
There was still Shika, and he wouldn't go down easily. No, this was just the first step into something else. But he was ready.
He hoped.
