Hat Full of Stars (Darius/Björn Mature)

[bjorn]

Bjorn clapped his hands and smiled brightly, Darius would stay! He felt like a little child at Christmas time, getting a brand new sweet. Bjorn made no attempt to hid his happiness, and noticed the small smile on Darius' face. Bjorn was begining to think Darius's smiles were like diamonds, rare to find, and cherished forever. Bjorn was growing ever so fond of the red-headed stranger standing next to him. He had never felt this way about another person, he had dreamed of it though. The memories of his parents great love almost brought a tear to his eye.

"If you'll follow me, the kitchen is just this way." Bjorn said opening the door to his house. He led Darius into the kitchen. Bjorn placed his bags on the table and instructed Darius to place his pales on the floor. Bjorn briefly touched hands with Darius, and Bjorn noticed his hands were colder than the grave! "Here, give me your hands." Bjorn said to Darius. He took one hand in-between both of his hands and rubbed them softly. He then repeated with the other hand. "I'm sorry if that was invasion of your personal space, but you're hands were so cold. i didn't want frost bite to set in."
.
"Mother!" Bjorn called at to her as she came walking down the hall, surprised to see Darius. She smiled coyly. "Bjornsie, who is this?" she asked, looking the man over. "This is Darius mother. He helped me carry the meat and blood hom from the market." Bjorn's mother smiled a toothy grin, "Then he'll have the first peice of the black pudding. It's a pleasure to meet you Darius, I assume he's staying Bjornsie?" Bjorn shook his head yes, "well good, I'll go make dinner."

"Follow me, I'll show you to your room." Bjorn said, leading Darius down the hall. He stopped at the first room to the right. "This is where you'll be staying. Please, set down your bags." Bjorn said sweetly. He was so glad that Darius was in his house. This promised to be a very enchanting evening.

[Kago]

Darius wasted no time with following Bjorn as he saw him open the door to his home. He was silent as he went along looking about after entering the home. He found it appeared to him that he had followed Bjorn into what looked like a kitchen. He was looking about when he heard he was instructed to place what he had down. He didn't waste any time in following what was said. He however was surprised when Bjorn suddenly took a hold of his hands. It was first one then the other that he suddenly seemed rub. He couldn't help but wonder why this was. But it seemed he didn't have to ask for an answer to the question he had wondered as Bjorn had come to provide an answer. It seemed he had just wanted yo make sure he didn't get frost bite. Something he was remotely aware of that was caused by the cold. "Thank you for your concern." He spoke this curtly, just wanted to show he appreciate it.

It was then he caught sight of a women who he soon found out was Bjorn's mother. It wasn't hard to figure out when that was what the young human male had called the women. He found his gaze looking over the women who would be the one to have given life to his other half. Something he was still sure of with what he felt every time he was close to the other and still felt when apart. The moment he had actually touched his hands, with something considerate in mind with the fact he was helping him warm up, was something he was fond of. Not the action behind it in particular or rather the reasoning. It was more so just the fact he had been able to have been so close. But he did cherish the fact that Bjorn had cared about whether he did catch anything like frostbite. Having just met he wasn't sure what the human would have thought of him but apparently it was enough in a positive way that he not only invited him to stay but assisted him in that manner. But now wasn't the time to dwell on anything other then the current situation. At the moment he just focused on the conversation he heard being exchanged between the mother and the son in the room.

Dark amber orbs looked from Bjorn to his mother and back again as he heard them speak. It seemed he was introduced now as he kept his gaze on the mother here. He really wasn't expecting to hear that the mother also seemed alright with him staying. He hadn't considered her at first. But now that he thought on it he was really very grateful that the mother here was alright with him staying. It seemed he would even be staying for dinner. That was much more then he expected and he was quite happy to hear he would be attending such an activity with a family he had just met. He was thinking on how lucky he was when he suddenly heard Bjorn mention to follow him. Of course he didn't hesitate to do so and followed right behind him. He came to an abrupt stop suddenly as he saw Bjorn stop.

It seemed they stopped by where he would staying or that was what he heard Bjorn say. "I really want to thank you for allowing me to stay here, you and your mother." He should probably say that to her as well when he had the chance to or perhaps Bjorn could say that to her. Either way now he moved to enter the bedroom he was said he could stay in where he came to rest the bag he had over his shoulders onto the floor. It still hadn't been a bother to carry it but now he had his arm free to move about with as he pleased. He turned around now after placing the bag now wondering if there was anything he should say or do in particular now. With the fact that he had been given a place to stay for the night he wondered if it was necessary for him to do anything in particular. He considered asking but then just thought to wait to hear if Bjorn had anything to say.

[bjorn]

"There isn't anything to do now, except probably sitting and talking." Bjorn said off-handedly as he tidied up the bedroom. It hadn't been slept in for awhile, Bjorn hoped it wasn't very dusty, and was pleased to find it was not. As Bjorn tidied up, he realized poor darius had no towels! What if he should take a chill in the night and decide to take a warm bath. Bjorn set to solve that problem directly. "I've just realized you have no towel. In case you'd like to take a bath, or a shower later. I'll go grab some." Bjorn said on his way out of the door to the linens closet.

Bjorn grabbed 2 large towels, and 2 small washclothes, hoping that these would be comfortable enough. He walked into Darius room, and set the towels on the bed. "Now, here are 2 large towel and two small washclothes. I hope you find every thing comfortabel."

Bjorn then realized he hadn't let Dariu know of his usuall morning routine. It had nothing to do with Darius, but Bjorn felt that he should let him know.

"Oh, I usually get up early and start chores. Please, you have to do nothing. Just enjoy your stay in our house. Please let me know when you wake, and I'll cook you breakfast." Bjorn said with a smile. He hoped Darius really would enjoy his stay, and Bjorn intended to make his stay as comforable as possible. Bjorn hoped Darius could stay at least a few days. Bjorn needed to learn everything he could.

Bjorn almost forgott to warn Darius. "Listen, I need to tell you somthing. Right now, we're in the middle of Þorrablót. In the old days, the vikings came to Iceland in the dead of winter, they only ate what they could find. Mother will be making serving smoked lamb and black pudding. Smoked lamb is very good, but black pudding is a bit....different. Black pudding is made with blood and sheeps fat, flour and greens. Baked inside a wrapping. If it sounds disgusting to you, you absolutly do not have to eat it. I want you to be as comfy as possible."

[Kago]

Darius directed his gaze towards Bjorn as he heard him speak. He watched him for the moment as he saw him move about. He acknowledged what was said with a slight nod of his head. He didn't think to say anything as he simply noted what was said by the other. It seemed he was cleaning up or doing something of the sort. Then he mentioned something about him not having towels and saw that he took off after that. He was aware that he himself hadn't brought any along with him. He just didn't think to. All he had on him were clothes. He was really grateful towards the the fact that Bjorn was offering him such when he didn't have to. He stood there for now just waiting for the boy to return. He really would like to show his appreciation for all that was offered even if his staying here was thank for assisting the other earlier.

It didn't seem long before Bjorn had returned now seeing that he came back with the towels mentioned. "Thanks." He spoke as he set his gaze upon the towels and then Bjorn himself. He wasn't expecting to hear him go on to mention what he did in the morning. He wondered briefly then if he should expect to see the mother again. He wondered if he would have to address her. If he did he would have to call her mam or something along the lines of that. He didn't think on it too much and already focused on Bjorn once more. "I'll keep that in mind." He spoke, not thinking to say anything more then that. Though he wondered how long he could stay. He was hesitant to ask as he thought he might have to leave before he really got to do anything. He considered it for a moment but chose to remain silent.

Darius thought he might be left alone then, not that he wanted to as he liked being in the boy's presence, but found he heard him say something that he needed to hear. He listened intently as he heard Bjorn mention what he assumed was a holiday. He listened curiously as well on the mention of the foods. He recalled the mention of this black pudding and had wondered what it was. He wasn't sure what to make of it but he didn't think to turn it down just like that. He would at least give it a try. "Thank you, I appreciate it." At that moment he would have liked to have kissed the boy but thought better of it as he didn't dare make him think negatively of him regardless of how he felt for him. How he wanted him or how he may have or did really yearn to touch him. Him would keep his hand to himself and restrain from being anything physical related with the boy. He was just lucky enough to come across him and didn't think to test his luck.

However even though he thought that and tried to keep it in mind he had to wonder if he even considered it at all. It was due to the fact that he moved closer to Bjorn with a faint smile gracing his features. Without really thinking it through, he couldn't have with what he had just been thinking, he bent down just enough to kiss the youth on the forehead with his fiery red hair framing his face until he pulled back also realizing his most recent actions. He really needed to apologize for that. "I apologize." He spoke quickly, his expression unreadable. He probably should say why he did it but if he did he would have to say he couldn't help it. It was the truth but that didn't make things any better. He didn't want to lie though. He hated people who did such. "I couldn't help myself." He thought he probably sounded quite foolish but he was being honest no matter how it sounded. He really just wanted to touch the boy, even for just a moment, but he didn't want to come and regret it as he felt he might now.

[bjorn]

Had Darius just done what Bjorn thought he had? He did! Darius kissed him, Bjorn sqeeled on the inside. "I, I, I.....don't apologize." Bjorn said. "I'll be.... right back. I'll just go grab an extra blanket." Bjorn said, falling over himself as he walked out the door, then returned with said blanket.

Bjorn was glad that Darius had not ran away when he warned him of the nights dinner. Bjorn had grown up on black pudding, so he didn't think that Darius might not like it. Darius was a sport, he probably would at least try of it. That made Bjorn very happy. The more time Bjorn spent with Darius, the more he grew fond of him. Darius made Bjorn feel things he'd never felt before. With Darius, Bjorn felt like the world made sense. He felt like dreams could come true, and that he was living in his very own fairy tale. Could life get any better for him?

"What do you like for breakfast? That way I can cook somthing especially for you." Bjorn said sweetly, as he sat next to Darius. He hoped that he wasn't invading his personal space.

Just that time, Bjorn's mother shouted from the kitchen. "Dinner!" Bjorn smiled at Darius and told him to follow him to the dinning room. When they got there, the table was set beautifully with candles, and a beautifull spread of food. Bjorn's mother spoke suddenly. "I'm sorry, but I can't dine tonight. Grandmother needs me. I'll stay at her house tonight, then head to work in the morning." She kissed Bjorn goodbye, and shook Darius hand before she left.

"Please, sit down." Bjorn said, pointing to the chair across from him. Bjorn had to give it to his mother, she knew how to make an impression. Bjorn wondered if Darius knew what was happening. Probably so, but was far to kind to say anything.

Bjorn smiled as he handed Darius a peice of smoked lamb and passed him the black pudding. Darous was so wonderfull, staying in a strage house, eating strange food, and smiling at the strange Icelandic boy he had met earlier.

[Kago]

Darius was relieved to see that Bjorn didn't seem upset. He had been really quite worried that his sudden thoughtless action had come to cause such. He didn't know what to say at the moment though so he remained silent. He just stood there for the moment waiting as he saw the boy take off to get a blanket. It was really nice that he would allow him to stay here when he didn't have to. He really did feel like showing how much he appreciated the boy's kindness. He just needed to figure out how he could do that. He didn't think a kiss would be acceptable and he didn't really have anything on him to spare. He would just have to figure something out.

Considering the overall situation Darius let his thoughts wander on his current situation. He was here on Earth having found that one special person he had searched for so long. He was still sure on what he had come to think with what he felt and all. There was no doubt about it. He was sure on it. But no matter how sure he was on the matter he couldn't go about saying all of that to Bjorn. He wasn't sure how he would approach the young human male about. This was yet another thing he needed to think on. He couldn't help but frown on the subject as he considered it. He couldn't stand the idea of leaving this Earth without him. If anything he would remain here as long as he had to. No matter how reluctant he was to do so.

It was unexpected to hear the mention of the breakfast. What was there available to eat here? It was a question that Darius wondered and thus couldn't really answer the question asked. He was silent as he thought over the question with a thoughtful look briefly set upon his features as his dark amber gaze settled to looking down on the floor. He seemed briefly lost in thought as he considered what he could say. He really had no idea what to say and was sure it would look odd with that being a fact.

It seemed that there was a break from answering the question as Darius heard what was the familiar voice of Bjorn's mother. He was relieved to hear that it seemed they would be getting up and going to eat. Not that he was hungry, well not that he would ask for food, but that meant the question on breakfast would hopefully be forgotten. Coming to follow Bjorn now Darius wasted no time with getting up to do so.

Seeing they arrived at their destination he seated himself where Bjorn had motioned him to but only after noting that it seemed the mother was going off somewhere. It had him wondering if he was still allowed to stay here. Hearing nothing telling him otherwise, with the simple handshake he had been given, he did not come to assume that he had to be going anywhere for awhile. With that thought he was relieved. Now he took the time to look over the food he saw placed out upon the table. He would admit he was quite curious as to what the food tasted like as well as what the setting was about. Was this normal? He only knew so much about Earth. He didn't think to jump and eat anything until he was sure it was alright to. He was just minding the overall scene not quite sure what to make of it or what to do at the moment.

While Darius was simply observing the over all situation he briefly noted when Bjorn started handing him the food. "Thank you." He spoke, towards being passed the food as well as being allowed to eat here. He really was grateful. He wondered if it was alright or if he had to wait. He wasn't really familiar with whatever customs there be on Earth or here specifically and he didn't care to be rude. He considered asking but then felt silly doing so and thought it would be strange so he said nothing for the moment. He noted what he assumed was the black pudding and wondered what it tasted like.

[bjorn]

Bjorn held in laughter as Darius eyed the black pudding strangly. "The blood is cooked in the flour, fat, and greens to produce the blackend effect." Bjorn explained as he spooned a healthy spoonfull of the stuff on to his plate, passing the bowl to Darius. Bjorn took a bite of the pudding into his mouth and let out a satisfied sigh. He waited all year for this! Growing up on somthing that other societies deemed taboo was scary, and he wondered what Darius was thinking as he moaned with gratification as the goods slid down his throat.

"Please, take a bite" Bjorn admonished softly. He hoped Darius liked it. The evening was going nicely. The warmth of the fire put a very cozy aura to the room. The smells of the dinner only added to the atmosphere. Bjorn smiled softly at Darius, he smiled a small smile back.

The strange feelingsgrowing inside of Bjorn kept growing every moment, greater and greater. Bjorn had never taken an interest into boys or girls. All his brothers had girlfriends, but Bjorn never had one, nor a boyfriend. He had never taken the notion to be in love. His mother grieved so when his father passed away. Bjorn saw all her pain and vowed to himself solmnly that he would never fall in love. There was one small problem, Bjorn had no idea what love felt like.

[Kago]

Darius found his gaze shifting from the black pudding to Bjorn. Hearing what the other said about how the black pudding. So it did indeed have blood in it. He felt he could even smell it himself. That being said he had a good sense of smell. He couldn't exactly go saying he abhorred the thought of trying it. His mind wasn't closed off to it regardless of the ingredients it was said to have. With what he was, being a Zercan, he wasn't disgusted by it either. He just wasn't thinking to hear that humans ate such. He wondered briefly where the blood came from. What animal did it come from? He thought to ask. "Where exactly did the blood for this come from." He carried it, he caught the scent of it the entire way, but couldn't tell where it came from. He didn't know the animals of Earth. Then he was fairly sure that the humans didn't come to eat their own kind. Such an act was barbaric and only know to a few species. But as he considered it he thought he heard something about such happening on Earth. He hoped that wasn't the case here though. He couldn't think to try it if it came from a human.

It was hard to think to be against trying it with what Bjorn said. Asking him to take a bite. He could try that much at least. Regardless of where it came from. Not thinking to dwell on the details he reached out to take some of the black pudding. He placed just a bit on his plate before looking down at it thoughtfully and taking a bit out of it with a utensil he had placed beside his plate. He was curious to see how it tasted and now was his chance. Taking a bite out of it was something he thought to do earlier but reconsidered as he thought of what was inside of it. It took only a moment to get a taste in his mouth from the food as he came to swallow what he had placed in his mouth. It was about a minute or so later he placed the spoon down with an expression that was a rather stoic one. He just didn't show whatever he may be feeling. It was just a moment later he thought to speak. "It doesn't taste bad." He spoke this, looking to Bjorn for the time being. "I'm glad I got to try this at least once." He spoke, thinking of how he did not intend to stay here forever. He just couldn't really see himself staying here and thus he did hope to convince the human here, at some point in time, to leave this planet with him. He wondered if that point in time would come. He wasn't sure but it was something to look forward to. He could only hope that it was a possible thing that could happen. Not that it was something that couldn't. It was just it all came to depend on what Bjorn would do and though he felt he was the one he could spend the rest of his days with he could not tell how Bjorn felt. If he didn't want to have anything to do with him then he wouldn't force himself upon the other. Well, he wasn't quite sure what he would do. All he knew for sure was that distancing himself would not be something without consequence for himself.

Dark amber orbs looked over the rest of the food now that Darius had tried the particular food mentioned by Bjorn. The food that seemed rather unique and one he really didn't think was bad. Perhaps he would eat more but he wasn't thinking he would be very big on it. That is he still had other things he would consider a favorite. He wondered if Bjorn would be willing to try any foods from his planet or perhaps he would need to stick to Earth foods. But there he was thinking a bit too far ahead. He had no idea how the human would take all he would have to say before they got to the point of leaving. All that might be enough to make Bjorn want him gone. He hoped not. He really wasn't sure what would happen if that was the case. Which wasn't a pleasant thought as he usually had an idea of what to expect with what was going on and was sure of himself. Here he didn't think to have any doubts but what could he do now? "I really must thank you for inviting me to eat." Or should he thank his mother. Well, whether or not he would he would have to wait as he did believe she was gone. He wondered suddenly what would happen if they left. Wasn't he the only child that Earth women had living with her. He could already tell things wouldn't go as smoothly as he would wish but it did nothing to think so far ahead so he kept his mind on the present and just focused on eating what he was able to hear.

[bjorn]

Bjorn heard Darius questions concerning to where the blood came from, he seemed nervous. Bjorn chuckled softly, "They're not people blood I assure you. It's blood from sheep, as well as the fat, the fat and the greens are added to give the blood and flour some roughage." Bjorn said off-handedly, hoping to ease Darius mind. It must of done the trick. Darius took a small spoonfull into his mouth and ate it.....suprisingly enough, didn't spit out the food and run with a hand over his mouth to the restroom. "I'm glad you think it isn't bad! It's one of my favorite foods, it keeps me connected to my heritage."

Bjorn wondered what customs and history was connected to Darius where he was from. Did he know his history, did hehave a native langauge? Bjorn thought it the perfect questions to ask his handsome guest.

"So Darius, what's the culture like where you come from? Do you have a native language? I'd be very interested to hear all about it." Bjorn chirpped happily. Bjorn loved hearing about people's culture. He was so connected to his, and hoped every one would be to theirs. It would be almost a shame not to.

Bjorn enjoyed every moment with Darius. It was so nice and cozy. The more he was in darius company, the more Bjorn grew fonder of him. Darius made him warm, he made him feel like he was the only person in the world, even in the short time he knew him. This was all so knew to him. It was very strange. Bjorn still couldn't grasp it all, he knew somthing was growing, but he couldn't put a name on it. Bjorn was begining to feel so fondly of Darius, that was all he knew. That was certainly good enough for now, Bjorn thought as his olive green eyes looked into Darius amber eyes.

[Kago]

Darius was relieve to hear that the blood hadn't come from another human. Though he wasn't quite sure what the animal mentioned was. At least he assumed it was an animal as it certainly wasn't a human. He would think to ask later what t was that was mentioned. Though he considered it may be an odd question to ask when he didn't care to pose as some offworlder. For the time being he wanted to seem like any human would. Though he knew that wasn't quite possible to do with what he was. All he could do was try his best in this situation and he was quite determined to do just that. Considering it now he thought to take another bit of that black pudding. He at least would consume all he had taken up which wasn't much at all. It was simply a nice thought to partake in something that seemed important to Bjorn and honestly he was really quite happy to do so even if it didn't visibly show.

At the moment Darius didn't think to say anything. He merely acknowledged what was said with a slight nod of his head and left it at that. He wasn't expecting to suddenly hear Bjorn speak up again. He did seem to be the type to be talkative and though he normally didn't do so himself he found himself quite fond of that trait. Although he couldn't say he hadn't met others similar to having such a trait. It seemed it was specifically the other here that attracted him so. He didn't need to consider why that was. Just being near Bjorn so was a clear reminder to him as to why he felt the way he did. Having to suppress his inner beast and all was yet another reminder. The things he felt he could do were definitely not something he thought to act on. He was starting to think on it a bit now, how he would deal with all this, when he suddenly heard all the questions asked of him. Was he to answer that honestly? He didn't care to lie. He would go about speaking the truth but avoiding telling it entirely.

"We have certain beliefs on my-" The Zercan cut himself off realizing the word he was about to use and quickly spoke in hopes of correcting himself. "That is where I'm from we have a strong belief in finding that right person for us and making sure that everything is fair." Well, he was well aware of what his kind did. Sort of like being peacekeepers in the way but he had no intention of going about it in any sort of detail. He was trying to be vague here and he hoped it wasn't noticed. "I do have a native language." He was aware that his native tongue was different from Earth. It was only due to a translator he had on his being that he was able to talk to Bjorn right now. Without it he would really be quite as lost as the human here. That would really be a horrible thing to have happen. To not be able to understand what his other half was saying. Though he was sure there were other forms of communication. He just didn't care to dwell on it seeing ash ow it had nothing to do with his current situation.

Now was there anything more to say now. Darius considered his current situation a bit more. He was still eating, he really did enjoy what he tried so far. Should he try and talk more? He really wasn't sure how long he would be allowed to stay here. Though he wasn't given a limit it left him wondering if he would ever come to over stay his welcome. He really wanted to stay here as long as possible but he wouldn't come to be a bother. If there was anything he didn't care to be was to become something of a bother to anyone he cared for. The very thought nearly caused him to frown. Perhaps he shouldn't dwell on such thoughts either. He just briefly thought upon it before thinking about the food set before him. If Bjorn asked anything he needed to respond to he didn't care to have food in his mouth so he would wait ab it.

[bjorn]

"That sounds nice!" Bjorn said happily. "I'd love to hear your native language sometime. I bet it's beautiful!" At least he hoped it was. Bjorn imagined Darius whispering sweet nothings in his native language. And Bjorn likewise, in Icelandic. Bjorn looked down on Darius plate, he had cleaned it! Bjorn smiled and clapped. "I'm highly pleased! Most people can't handle strange food. You've made me verrry happy!" Bjorn cheered, "I won't make you eat another bite!" Bjorn said as he began to clear the table. He cleared the table and began washing the dishes, and putting the food away. "If you'd like to take a bath, or get into bed feel free. I'll be in directly to wish you goodnight." Bjorn shouted.

Darius, Darius, Darius! Bjorn moaned on the inside. Had he any idea what he was doing to the poor Icelander? Bjorn carfefully washed the dishes and put them away in the cubberd.

Bjorn kind of poked around the kitchen, cumberd about with his thoughts. The evening had progressed so well! Just hours before, Darius was a stranger. Now, it was like they had known each other forever, and Bjorn wanted keep knowing Darius forever. However strange that might sound.

Bjorn walked to the directions to the bedroom. Suspecting nothing, he walked past the bathroom, just as Darius walked out....nothing but a towel wrapped around his waste. Little beads of water running down his defined abs. Bjorn stopped dead in his tracks, stricking his moveless. Life was dangling Darius in front of him, like a string toy in front of a cat. Bjorn just stared.

"If, if, yyyyou'd like....I'll take the towel when you're done." Bjorn said, trying his hardest to play the cool.

[Kago]

Darius had to say the Earth food he had eaten had tasted quite good. It was what he was thinking on as he came to go off to take a shower. It was that and a various amount of other things. Like how he would approach this situation. How he would manage to suppress the beast welling up within him more so now that he had found his other half. Though these were all thoughts he had come to think on before he couldn't help but think on them once more. They were something he would have to deal with. Something he would have to figure out over time. He supposed there wasn't a big rush to decide everything now. But he could at least figure out how he would come to react while around the other. It was an absolute must. Especially when he was on a planet he knew very little of with only the thought of getting his other half to come with him. No matter how challenging a task it may prove to be.

It was unknown to the Zercan how long he had spent in the shower. All he knew was that he had spent enough time in there to get himself clean and he suddenly recalled that he had left his clothes in the bag in his room. Leaving him to have to walk out with a towel wrapped around his waist. As he came to exit the shower he couldn't help but think back to dinner. It seemed eating all the food given to him had made the human happy. Which in turn made him happy. He decided that now matter what negative thoughts he suddenly had he would try to remain positive here. He was thinking this as he exited the bathroom and was completely surprised to see the very human he thought of was out in the hall. He couldn't help but smile at seeing him in person once more. Seeing was much better then merely thinking of him.

What was this about the towel? Was something wrong? Did he want it now? Darius really didn't need it anymore. He just needed to aquire his clothes in the bedroom he was given to stay in. "I can give it to you now if you'd like." Now he wasn't going anywhere else with this other then the fact he was trying to hand the towel over. He wasn't the type to be modest or self conscious. He was a fairly factual person. If the youth wanted to take the towel when he was done then logically he should hand it to him now. Besides when he handed him the towel that would give him just the briefest of moments to be able to be just a bit closer to him. How he did feel a sort of longing or yearning to touch the human standing before him. However, he managed to keep himself restrained. It was just another must.

"Here,I won't keep you waiting." Now this was also spoken simply thinking of the facts. Darius was just going to hand him the towel and then be on his way to put on his clothes. He saw no problem with that. Perhaps if he were a bit more social he would have realized that in the company of others not everyone was alright with nudity. Unfortunately the thought did not even tread across his mind as the Zercan came to undo the wrapped towel from around his waist. Suddenly coming to hold it out. The way he held it out though still covered anything from being seen with the angle he was standing at compared to Bjorn. As soon as the towel was taken though surely anything could be seen. It was that or one leaned a bit in any direction that one couldn't miss the full naked view of the Zercan and his model worthy body. With how Darius seemed to so nonchalantly come to hand over the towel, with it still in hand and waiting to be taken, one would think he didn't see anything wrong with this. If one did think so they would be right. Perhaps this was just an alright thing amongst his culture? One could only wonder. For Darius though it was just something he was comfortable with and thought nothing of it. Even during this perhaps awkward if not odd situation Darius held what was a faint smile upon his features. It simply lingered due to the fact he was still in the presence of Bjorn.

Bjorn began to tremble, there Darius stood in all his naked glory! Smiling seductivly, handing him the towel. Bjorn suddenly wanted to Darius to take him, make love to him right there. Bjorn pushed those thoughts out directly. Bjorn made a promise, no sex till the wedding night in the marriage bed. Bjorn's hand trembled lightly as he reached out and took the towl. "I'll just go to the laundry room." Bjorn turned and walked to the room, inside cursing himself for not doing somthing more with the present situation.

As was his usuall method, he hoped atop of the washer to think. What was going on? A stranger earlier in the day, now....he was having erotic feelings. Somthing was at work here, paranormal? A witch? A Spell? Bjorn thought it over. He didn't doubt the existant of the paranormal. He was an Icelander, they belived in trolls and faeries. Oh well, Bjorn said as he hoped down.

He trodded slowly, thoughtfully down the hall to the guest bedroom. Bjorn would take no chances this time, when he reached the door, he would knock. Bjorn finall reached the door and knocked lightly. When he heard the bid for him to enter, he opened the door, and went inside.

Darius laid in bed, glancing over at him. Bjorn smiled as he walked over and sat down on the bed. "I hope you'll be comfortable tonight," Bjorn said, "if you need anything, please feel free to wake me. I wouldn't mind at all." Bjorn said pleasently. Darius bed looked so inviting, almost begging Bjorn to climb in and enjoy till the morning light. "Do you need anything else before I say goodnight?" Bjorn asked softly.

Darius made his way to his bedroom with his thoughts still lingering on the human he knew as Bjorn. The one that was without a doubt his other half. Making it quite hard to simply walk the opposite way from him or to ignore the beast within that very much wanted to ravish the youth. Well, regardless he felt the desire to do so. He managed to keep that all from being noticed though. It was simply a relief his body didn't choose to express that as he managed to hold himself back from taking any inappropriate action that would rush things. It was both a relief and a pain to see the youth walk off but he had to get dressed and he hadn't gone so far as to get the boy to want to go that far with him. Hopefully he would soon. That way he would know for sure he would have the boy's consent on it before things got out of control. Not hat he didn't think he could manage it but he was wary of what was to come with the position he was in now. How could any Zercan resist their other half when they were so blatantly displayed before them. This really would be no easy task.

Going about getting dressed didn't take long. He was soon enough thinking again in the room he was given. His first thoughts didn't linger too far from the present. He realized that he left his clothes in the bathroom and thought he should retrieve them. He couldn't just leave his dirty clothes lying about. He wondered if he should ask where he could clean them. He would. He didn't think to make anyone else take care of them. It was a bit of a surprise to hear a knock on the door. He wasn't so surprised as to seeing or more like hearing first who it was. Bjorn had come to his room. He wondered what he wanted. He didn't think to stop him from entering. He was really quite happy to see the boy come in and moved to sit up without a moments hesitation. He enjoyed every moment he got to be close to him. It was why he felt quite happy once more seeing Bjorn came to sit on the bed as well. Making him much closer then he was before.

The question asked was one the mentally did not receive such an innocent response but he had no intention of speaking all of that. He suddenly recalled his clothes. "I forgot to take up my clothes." He spoke, referring to the fact he hadn't walked out of the bathroom with them. He only had so many. He couldn't leave them lying about dirty. "I left them in the bathroom, the ones I had on, I need to get them washed." He wondered if he could ask if there was anywhere nearby to get it washed or if there was something in the house he could use. That would make things easier for him but he wasn't getting his hopes up there. Besides what he said so far he still had some not so innocent thoughts spurred by obvious reasons that any Zercan would surely understand. Perhaps he could ask for one thing, instead of taking it this time, he just wanted one little things that didn't cost a thing. "Besides that I wondered if perhaps I could give you a kiss." He thought nothing wrong of it. He was merely wary of the fact that he may be moving too quickly and if he knew humans to the little extent he did then they did not all, for the most part of the population, care to rush into things.

Bjorn smiled lightly, he left his clothes. That was no big deal, he could wash them no sweat. "I can wash them, I'll just add them to the load I'm doing in the morning." Bjorn got up and began walking to the bathroom. "I'll be back directly." Bjorn chirpped as he walked out the door. He walked into the bathroom, collected the clothes and walked to the laundry room. Bjorn tossed the clothes on the load he had for tommorrow morning. Since he was in the room, he seperated the lights and darks, and made a mental note of who's was who's.

Bjorn jogged back into Darius' room and sad back down on the bed. "I grabbed your clothes from the bathroom, I'll wash them tomorrow and give them to you directly." Bjorn said with a smile.

"Anything else before I go?" Bjorn asked innocently before he got up. Little did he know what was comming. Had he asked, had he actually asked? Darius had asked Bjorn for a kiss, a kiss! Bjorn's body began to tremble. Shaking, he put his hand on Darius bed, and shook his head yes. He smiled as he climbed on top of Darius, stradling his waste. Darius reached his head, Bjorn lowered his head to meet Darius'. For what seemed like years, they finally gently brushed lips.....That was when Bjorn realised....he was in love.
