[ He's sitting on the shore of the Nile at night, it's been weeks since he cleansed himself and the river of that individual's influence. There are still marks on his skin from where the damage was done but they lack any purple-coloring and look more like fading scars.
Khnum could get rid of them but that takes more energy and he'd rather save it for keeping Cairo afloat a little longer. The place is a lot of desert and maybe it's lucky that they got Khnum as their local god in their home away from home. He can make the banks surrounding the Nile fertile for planting and keep food flowing as easily as the water.
It also takes energy to keep the monsters out of the city. They don't have trees for protecting around Cairo so if he doesn't keep the people safe, more will die.
He has his bare feet in the water and is enjoying the coolness of the night breeze. Khnum loves Egypt even with its extremes. ]
[ Well, keeping Cairo afloat might suddenly feel just a little... easier? Like someone just suddenly shifted some of the weight to themselves. It's not enough to have Khnum feeling absolute relief, but... hey, better than nothing, probably.
The person suddenly sitting next to him should be very familiar, too, and he's wearing a tiny smile as he leans back on his hands, looking up at the sky. ]
That snake's finally paying attention to others... [ tilting his head at him, expression a bit softer ] Let me help.
[ Nevermind he needs to rest for a bit first—just let him help at some point. ]
[ There's surprise when his burden gets lifted after so long, even if he can still sense all of Cairo and that he's keeping it afloat here. It isn't nothing considering everything that's happened recently.
Khnum is less surprised when a familiar presence and figure appears next to him on the bank. Red eyes look over at the other god. ]
Probably my fucking fault for helping the kid doing all those summons. [ Considering he had literally been connected to Minato at the time... That snake bastard was probably content to just let Khnum fade away with Cairo until then. ] If you want.
[ He isn't turning down the offer, that's for sure. ]
What brings you around here anyway? Missing a piece of home?
[ There's just a soft puff of air that's essentially just a sound trying to sound amused and... too tired to succeed at being a laugh. He shakes his head and all but flops onto the ground, waving his hand a little. ]
The only fault rests with the snake and whoever's willing—past, present, and future—to help it. [ a slightly wider smile ] Good.
[ While loosely resting his hands over his midsection, he shrugs a shoulder. ]
Something like that. [ hint of teasing, though there's a little more seriousness with the next part ] Being surrounded by people who don't know me, or even... nobody, at all... Plus... maybe I was just worried about you.
[ Yeah, no, he was definitely worried. Buuuuut, blatantly admitting feelings is hard after getting so used to not interacting with others. ]
[ Leaning his chin in his hand while his elbow rests on his bent knee. Khnum looks amused at the reaction he's getting from the other male. And maybe he likes what he sees, sue him. ]
I'm a pretty easy-going god but I wouldn't mind going snake hunting someday. [ If he ever gets out of here. ] Good.
[ Shifting to lay down as well, letting his arms act like a pillow. ]
Well shit, let me be the first to welcome you back to a literal piece of home then. [ Also with a bit of playfulness but he means it too. ] If you want people who know you, you've come to the right place. These humans had pretty much stopped believing in us but now they're all "Lord Khnum this" and shit.
[ Plus, you know, Khnum actually knows who he is so... ]
You don't gotta do so much worrying about me. I've been getting along fucking fine. [ Okay, that's not totally the truth. ] But if you wanna stick around, I'm not kicking you out. And not just because I don't know how you got in.
[ There are definitely lonely undertones that yell that Khnum doesn't really want him to leave either. ]
[ He can't help the amused smile as he very lightly raps his knuckles against Khnum once the other god lies down, too. ]
I'll gladly sign up for that. I can help shorten the search once we're all strong enough. [ playfulness gets a fonder smile ] I think I'll pass on that whole human praise part, though. Think I can pass as a 'Luke'?
[ While he's just joking about the name, he is being serious about blending in. ]
Oh, have you? [ look makes it visibly clear he doesn't believe that, but... then he softens at the last part ] Glad to not be kicked out.
[ Although the last part has the hint of a twinkle entering his eyes. ]
Maybe I'll tell you... [ hint of tired playfulness ] If you can convince me to share such a valuable secret.
[ A small 'heh' sound. The leg closest to the other god bends so that it's partially pressed into the man's leg. Physical contact is nice. ]
Probably better to not try to summon the snake to us again, that's for sure. [ Nudges with his leg gently. ] Just be glad they don't still do any of those pointless sacrifices or building shit with giant rocks and slaves. Not sure about Luke. How about Kadin?
[ If he really wants to blend in, the other name will surely make him stand out. Khnum also doesn't question why the secrecy. ]
Peachy fucking keen considering I'm still here and kick, ain't I? [ Don't give him that look, he will wipe it off your face. ] You know what they say... my home is your home. Literally.
[ Rolling over on to his side, propping his head up and looking down at Ḥeḥ with clear intent. ]
You look too fucking tired for me to coax it out of you right now, even if it was all gentle-like. [ Reaching out with his other hand to brush his fingers over Ḥeḥ's cheek. ]
[ Ah... yeah. Physical contact is very welcome. It's been far too long, even with him being an absolute well of patience. He lifts his eyebrows with a soft sigh. ]
... That is true, yes. [ an expression of seriously at the next sentence ] I don't miss those days.
[ But, hm... Kadin has him giving a nod of consideration. ]
Kadin, hm? I like it. [ but wow... giving that Look all over again; go ahead and try, Khnum ] Ability to kick isn't what I meant.
[ Such gentle sass . . . though it vanishes completely with the next parts. His expression softens a lot, in fact, as Khnum rolls over and looks at him that way. And says those words. Within milliseconds, his entire face darkens, redness seemingly following the gentle touch with how quickly it spreads. ]
You are absolutely what they call a bully... [ whispered softly, even as he very lightly turns his face towards that hand ] And in line for learning why you shouldn't underestimate Father Time.
[ Hmmm~ Now that he knows the touches are still welcome, Khnum doesn't hesitate to just... slip his leg up over Ḥeḥ's fully. Then his whole body shifts until his front is pressed against the other god's side. ]
Those kinds of sacrifices were overrated anyway.
[ He waits while the other thinks it over. ]
Kadin it will be then. My friend, my companion, my jamal. [ Oh, well if the invite is there - nope. Khnum will stop a mere inch away from kissing him. ] I won't lie and it's been easy but it could be much worse.
[ Something tells him that Ḥeḥ would have come before Khnum lost the ability to hold this place steady. His old lover would have known when the time here was up, he's sure of it. That hand slips down to rest on Ḥeḥ's chest and then he just flops and places his head on his lover's shoulder. ]
You like that about me considering how long you made me wait. [ And he isn't talking about how long Ḥeḥ's been away either. Then he's rolling over to hover over his lover completely. ] Not going to play to hard to get this time? I won't fucking complain if you let me take you here and now.
[ Ah, a little on the unfair side... but still very welcome. He even relaxes a little, though there's only agreement at those next words. ]
Maybe a little uncomfortably so.
[ Wow, Khnum. He blushes a little more between the word and the near-kiss. But he does seem glad at the words that follow. ]
But you know I would have been here sooner if that was the case. [ some certainty, and a smile... then back to the blush ] I-... won't deny that.
[ There's a tiny smile as he glances away, though his gaze quickly returns to Khnum when he's hovering over him. And his eyebrows lift a little at the next words. ]
Is... that a fact...
[ Breathlessly muttering that before he slowly slides a hand up, fingers ghosting over the side of Khnum's face before sliding through his hair. He leans up, brushing his lips over his lover's, whispering. ]
So, what would you do in the event you only got encouragement, Khnum...?
[ At the same time as this, Khnum is sitting on a large and made for cuddling couch. His house private and near the Nile of course with a very large pool, has plenty of space - not that either of them want space away from each other. Ḥeḥ knows he meant it when he said "my home is your home" so any changes his lover wants to make is fine with him.
He knows his lover is on the "other line" with someone right now but he's still going to popcorn, literally from his lounging spot. And if his gaze never leaves Ḥeḥ, who will blame him? ]
[ It might not help that he isn't bothering with many clothes in here... He's in nothing more than a robe and that robe doesn't leave too much room for the imagination to work. But... swimming is fun and he was considering doing that after this conversation.
He chuckles as he's being watched, and then waves a hand. There's now a projection of the pair having the conversation. After that, he's sitting next to Khnum, stealing (or "stealing", all things considered) a bite of popcorn. ]
[ The view is definitely very good to look at, though he would absolutely say it could get better without the robe. He, himself, is only wearing a thin pair of loose pants and does have a habit of walking around naked most of the time.
While some of his attention is spared for the projection pair talking, most of it is on his lover moving closer and helping himself to that popcorn. In return, Khnum will just untie the belt on that robe. That's it. Doesn't try to remove it but simply let it fall open. ]
[ Untying the belt earns a quiet laugh, though it might seem just a touch forced. Fine with him, since he knew what he was inviting by moving closer. He lifts an arm, sliding his fingers through his lover's hair, expression fond. ]
Entertaining you is always a pleasure, my love.
[ He leans to brush a kiss over Khnum's cheek. ]
Mm... Thankfully, I don't have to worry about him figuring out who I am. Even if I did make him far too smart and too blessed with luck.
[ Hm, he doesn't like that forced laugh. Khnum puts the bowl of popcorn off to the side and spreads his legs to invite Ḥeḥ to snuggle closer. Hand coming to brush over his lover's neck softly. ]
All you have to do is stand there for me to be entertained, jamal. You are a sight I will never tire of.
[ A small lean has him in range to nip an ear in reponse to that kiss. ]
That just means I get to continue to have you all to myself a while longer. Still, it's fun to see the two of you interacting. He's a lot like you.
[ He leans into the touch to his neck, closing his eyes. There's a smile at the words. ]
I'm glad... [ opening eyes, gaze trailing along his lover's form with warm fondness and appreciation ] It's certainly mutual.
[ There's a quiet sound from within his throat as his ear is nipped. He is quiet for a few seconds... before gently pushing Khnum back and sliding into his lap. He threads his fingers through the god's hair, expression softened. ]
You can always have me as long as you want... I'll happily make sure of it. [ kissing his lips, and then pulling back, glancing over his shoulder at the pair ] ... He's grown so much since I last talked to him.
[ It's such a simple thing to be entertained by, just watching him. Of course, Khnum enjoys doing many other activities with him too. Language lessons were very amusing back in the day. ]
We should make a day of it then sometime. Lying here just looking. [ Completely serious. His hand trails up to brush his thumb over his lover's lips softly, lovingly.
A pleased hum at the response he gets for that action. Khnum is pliant in the push, allowing himself to be moved as desired especially since it means he gets a lapful of Ḥeḥ. A soft, happy sigh when fingers comb through his hair. ]
How does infinity sound to you? [ He manages to make that question both teasing and serious at the same time. Leaning into the kiss and wrapping his arms around Ḥeḥ's waist, looking at the pair as well. ] That's what kids do. One minute they're making mudpies in the backyard and then you look again and they're leaving the nest to take hold of the world with their own two hands.
[ Brushing his fingers across Ḥeḥ's cheek lovingly. ]
Deal. [ A smally happy smile when his lover agrees to infinity. ] Glad we're in agreement, it would have been fucking awkward otherwise.
[ The tone is light and gently teasing. Khnum uses his fingers to turn Ḥeḥ's head to get the other to look at him, it's firm but still tender. ]
Hey, that doesn't matter. Soon you won't have to do that anymore and can be there for them properly. Parenting is probably the fucking hardest job there is but it's clear to see how much you love them and would sacrifice for them in order to keep them safe. We just have to keep looking forward.
[ After this, they'll be appearing in the bedroom.
Kamadeva doesn't hesitate to gently push him down to the bed so he can curl up next to him. And whisper so many things in so many different languages, really - words of loving him, being here for him, not wanting to lose him, and... being unable to imagine not having him. It all leads up to... ]
You can't marry me... if you aren't still here to do it, Khnum. [ nuzzling his neck, and then kissing it ] And there's nobody else I've ever wanted to be mine forever.
Forever, Khnum. And no less - I won't allow anything less of you.
[ There is absolutely not a single drop of fight in him when it comes to his lover, so moving locations and being pushed to the bed comes so easily. He instantly clings to Kama when the other comes close enough. Head burying in the other's shoulder as if that's enough to block out the dark, terrible, murderous thoughts he's having right now.
Sweet words are battling the thoughts of "if I did it, his load would be lightened". Khnum very much knows that his lover would never ask that of him. To kill so many people for Kama's sake, to maybe—
And then he gets caught up in one word even if the rest surely get through as well. ]
Marry...? [ A blink and all of those nasty thoughts he never wanted are pushed back a little. Enough to give a bit of clarity. ] Forever, yes.
[ Is that an agreement to the proposal? Or reaffirming that they'll be together forever? It's both, honestly. ]
[ He smiles warmly, pulling back to take his lover's - his future husband's - face into his hands. ]
Good...
[ There's pure adoration in those amber eyes as he kisses Khnum's forehead. ]
I'll ask you again - later. [ resting his forehead against the opposite ] You're doing wonderful, Khnum... Nothing could make me happier than this, right now... okay?
[ Another way to tell him to stay here. There are some kisses getting brushed over the god's face in the meantime. ]
[ Crimson eyes stay locked on Kama's gaze for as long as possible, closing them when the kiss to his forehead comes. ]
I don't want... these thoughts, Kama.
[ Not the ones of love and sense of safety he always has whenever his lover is near him, but the ones that he would even briefly consider repeating something he always regretted. They don't feel like his and yet they do at the same time. ]
Mmmm... [ Yes, ask him again later.
Arms come around Kama's shoulder completely, dragging him in as much as he's able considering how much they're already pressed together. ]
Make them go away. Make me forget them. All I want to think about is you right now.
[ A roll of his hips should make it very clear how he wants to do this. He isn't asking for his lover to really take them away because they both know he can. ]
[ He kisses a soft trail along his jawline, letting himself get pulled as close as Khnum wishes. ]
You wish is my command, beloved.
[ There's a pleased hum at the feel of those hips. Both hands slide around to grasp Khnum's wrists, pinning them next to the god's head. Fingers trail down his lover's arms as Kamadeva moves to sit up, and then shifts to straddle his waist.
Without shame, he'll slowly start sliding out of his own clothes, barely using any of his emotional impact - Charm is a very handy ability, but this is Khnum. There's only enough to distract a little more than usual, and only for the sake of moving those intrusive thoughts further back. And to make responding to the next part a little easier: ]
Talk to me... [ gently, he slides a finger along Khnum's bottom lip, solidifying the enchantment ] Tell me your favorite position, Khnum. Why do you like it?
[ As if he doesn't know; this is strictly part of the distraction process, and... maybe because he really enjoys hearing things directly from Khnum's lips. ]
[ Khnum lets his fingers tangle in Kama's hair as the kisses come, humming quietly in approval. ]
You spoil me.
[ That is not a complaint, at all. He quite likes it when his lover does so, and since finding out that Kama is the first and extremely powerful God, even more of a turn-on. It shows how much trust he's been given, knowing that he could ask for anything and yet... all he wants is Kama next to him.
Khnum is completely pliant in Kama's fingers, like clay. Allowing his arm to be placed above his head where he keeps them even when hands leave his wrists. All of attention is focused on his lover and it's not simply because of the Charm. It's quite impossible to ignore when his love is straddling him and lavishing him with affection even on a normal day. ]
Every position with you is ranked ten-out-of-ten, Kama. Everything about you is my favorite. [ Complete honesty. ] If I had to pick one, it would be the ones where I can watch your face properly.
[ A hand lifts from the bed to trail down Kama's chest, over a nipple and down to where his erection is. ]
Right now though? [ Nipping that finger on his lips with a smirk. ] Right now I want you inside of me.

Hey, that doesn't matter. Soon you won't have to do that anymore and can be there for them properly. Parenting is probably the fucking hardest job there is but it's clear to see how much you love them and would sacrifice for them in order to keep them safe. We just have to keep looking forward.

Date: 2020-08-19 10:33 am (UTC)Kamadeva doesn't hesitate to gently push him down to the bed so he can curl up next to him. And whisper so many things in so many different languages, really - words of loving him, being here for him, not wanting to lose him, and... being unable to imagine not having him. It all leads up to... ]
You can't marry me... if you aren't still here to do it, Khnum. [ nuzzling his neck, and then kissing it ] And there's nobody else I've ever wanted to be mine forever.
Forever, Khnum. And no less - I won't allow anything less of you.

Date: 2020-08-19 10:45 am (UTC)Sweet words are battling the thoughts of "if I did it, his load would be lightened". Khnum very much knows that his lover would never ask that of him. To kill so many people for Kama's sake, to maybe—
And then he gets caught up in one word even if the rest surely get through as well. ]
Marry...? [ A blink and all of those nasty thoughts he never wanted are pushed back a little. Enough to give a bit of clarity. ] Forever, yes.
[ Is that an agreement to the proposal? Or reaffirming that they'll be together forever? It's both, honestly. ]

Date: 2020-08-19 11:01 am (UTC)Good...
[ There's pure adoration in those amber eyes as he kisses Khnum's forehead. ]
I'll ask you again - later. [ resting his forehead against the opposite ] You're doing wonderful, Khnum... Nothing could make me happier than this, right now... okay?
[ Another way to tell him to stay here. There are some kisses getting brushed over the god's face in the meantime. ]
You're exactly where I want and need you to be.

Date: 2020-08-19 11:12 am (UTC)I don't want... these thoughts, Kama.
[ Not the ones of love and sense of safety he always has whenever his lover is near him, but the ones that he would even briefly consider repeating something he always regretted. They don't feel like his and yet they do at the same time. ]
Mmmm... [ Yes, ask him again later.
Arms come around Kama's shoulder completely, dragging him in as much as he's able considering how much they're already pressed together. ]
Make them go away. Make me forget them. All I want to think about is you right now.
[ A roll of his hips should make it very clear how he wants to do this. He isn't asking for his lover to really take them away because they both know he can. ]

Date: 2020-08-20 02:38 pm (UTC)You wish is my command, beloved.
[ There's a pleased hum at the feel of those hips. Both hands slide around to grasp Khnum's wrists, pinning them next to the god's head. Fingers trail down his lover's arms as Kamadeva moves to sit up, and then shifts to straddle his waist.
Without shame, he'll slowly start sliding out of his own clothes, barely using any of his emotional impact - Charm is a very handy ability, but this is Khnum. There's only enough to distract a little more than usual, and only for the sake of moving those intrusive thoughts further back. And to make responding to the next part a little easier: ]
Talk to me... [ gently, he slides a finger along Khnum's bottom lip, solidifying the enchantment ] Tell me your favorite position, Khnum. Why do you like it?
[ As if he doesn't know; this is strictly part of the distraction process, and... maybe because he really enjoys hearing things directly from Khnum's lips. ]

Date: 2020-08-20 10:55 pm (UTC)You spoil me.
[ That is not a complaint, at all. He quite likes it when his lover does so, and since finding out that Kama is the first and extremely powerful God, even more of a turn-on. It shows how much trust he's been given, knowing that he could ask for anything and yet... all he wants is Kama next to him.
Khnum is completely pliant in Kama's fingers, like clay. Allowing his arm to be placed above his head where he keeps them even when hands leave his wrists. All of attention is focused on his lover and it's not simply because of the Charm. It's quite impossible to ignore when his love is straddling him and lavishing him with affection even on a normal day. ]
Every position with you is ranked ten-out-of-ten, Kama. Everything about you is my favorite. [ Complete honesty. ] If I had to pick one, it would be the ones where I can watch your face properly.
[ A hand lifts from the bed to trail down Kama's chest, over a nipple and down to where his erection is. ]
Right now though? [ Nipping that finger on his lips with a smirk. ] Right now I want you inside of me.
