[Both Tepes men are equally whipped. Lisa, at least, asserts her will in this household.]

Fascinating.

[Hector cares nothing about bricklaying, but Alucard's interest makes it interesting.]

Have you tried it yet? Enchanting your building materials?

[cryptsleeper]

Somewhat. There are spells for muffling sound mostly, and to ensure someone must knock on the door before entering a room.

[....Wait. Is that information Hector should have?]

For a full crypt, it'd be much more complex.

[petcromancer]

Oh?

[That is the most interesting thing Hector's heard all day. Consider him piqued.]

Did you happen to use those techniques in any of the chambers you built here?

[cryptsleeper]

Yes, actually. There's a side room through the door here --

[Yes, Alucard is gesturing to a door that's flanked by the bookcases and almost filled in entirely.] that I used as an experiment. I'm afraid the room might be a bit dusty, as I rarely make use of it.

[petcromancer]

[Hector peers into the little room curiously. Assessing. It's a tight fit, but that's not too much of an obstacle if the goal is to be close.]

You could make use of it. We could make use of it. You know, if you ever get bored of your studies and need some other way to pass the time.

[Kissing, Alucard. It could be your secret kiss-room.]

[cryptsleeper]

[It's just a little sofa, one appointed with a few pillows and a blanket, meant for research naps and precious little more. It isn't dusty, but it's hardly used. There's no sense of personality there, unlike so much else of the castle.]

Hector, is that a request for right now?

[petcromancer]

It could be.

[Hector tries to get a read on Alucard to determine if Alucard understands what he was implying. So much flirting goes straight over his head.]

Do you need a break from your work?

[cryptsleeper]

My drawing hand could use a break, yes.

[He gets the implication. To show it, Alucard holds the door open, eyes resting on Hector. Get in if we're making out.]

[petcromancer]

Then by all means.

[It's a good thing there's no dust, because if there was, Hector would leave a cloud in it as he shoots into the room, as quick as he can.]

Your hand's tired, huh? [He could make jokes about it, but he opts for taking Alucard's hand in his own and rubbing his thumbs into the palm.]

[cryptsleeper]

[Wow okay Hector be less excited? Alucard's a little taken aback at the speed, and he makes sure to actually close the door to put the spell into place. There is a faint shimmer to the walls that lingers for a moment and then...nothing. It's in place.

It is nice, having a warmer hand in his.]

It's been a busy few days. Shall we sit?

[So much better than making out on a boat.]

[petcromancer]

[Hector grins. He plops down on the couch and gives Alucard's hand a tug to ensure he follows.]

Mmm hmmm. I've barely seen you since we arrived.

[Infinitely better than the boat and that terrible straw mattress. Hector leans back against the cushions so he doesn't start crowding Alucard in his eagerness.]

[cryptsleeper]

[Alucard settles down on the sofa beside Hector, well aware that this polite conversation is not going to last.]

You've had a lot to catch up on with my father. Besides. I had over a week with you. It's only fair to extend that same week to him at first.

[petcromancer]

I hope you don't expect me to extend him every courtesy I've given you.

[Wink. He is honored by the time he gets to spend with Lord Dracula, but he is also infinitely glad of what he and Alucard have between one another.]

He is done with me for the rest of the day, so I'm at your disposal.

[It is nice, both having a more comfortable settings and also not being in a rush. They have time, and thanks to Alucard's magic bricks, they shouldn't be interrupted.]

[cryptsleeper]

No, of course not. [That'd be super weird Hector.

At your disposal though. Alucard knows that is a loaded phrase, but so be it. He inches closer, putting one hand on Hector's thigh.]

Go ahead. I'm sure you've been thinking about this for a while.

[Rush right in, buddy.]

[petcromancer]

[That is why he was teasing you, Alucard. That hand on his thigh is absolutely an invitation, though, so the time for teasing is over.]

Yes, you must know you've been on my mind.

[Subtle and Hector barely exist on the same planet. Hector leans in and presses his lips to Alucard's, starting off slow and gentle.]

[cryptsleeper]

I had a hunch.

[Alucard's a little surprised that Hector's starting off slow. He doesn't mind though, and he moves his other hand so that it's gently stroking the back of Hector's neck. The warmth there is so lovely, although Hector's not about to have a lamp full of dhampir any time in the next few seconds to suck up more of that warmth.]

[petcromancer]

[Hector's hand goes to stroke Alucard's hair. He's worried he'll push too fast, too far, and Alucard will pull back, so he's moving cautiously. They can warm up together.

He shifts a little closer so their legs touch, and deepens the kiss.]

[cryptsleeper]

[At the hand in his hair, there's a very content sigh from the dhampir that is pressed into Hector's mouth. The thumb stroking against Hector's neck moves in a confident little circle, applying just a little pressure but never daring to overstep.

Legs? Legs can overstep. One crosses ankles with Hector's. Just a little nudge.]

[petcromancer]

[Hector rubs his toes up Alucard's calf as he leans in closer. He teases Alucard's bottom lip with a nibble, then shifts to kiss his way to Alucard's favorite spot, his neck. Positive reinforcement is a powerful thing, and he wants to reward Alucard taking initiative.

Noise isn't a concern now, so he doesn't hold back from lavishing attention onto the pale column of neck like he sort of did on the ship. He can suck and nip to his heart's content. So he does.]

[cryptsleeper]

[He's only a dog sometimes Hector, he doesn't need to be rewarded for basic tasks.

But it does feel nice, and he hooks his leg around Hector's. They're just as close as they were before, but--

--oh.

The need to sneak is still present, but there is a freedom in this room. When Hector's lips move to Alucard's neck, there's no hiding the loud groan of delight that follows. The noises that come after are a far more moderate volume with such satisfaction threaded throughout.]

--Hector!

[petcromancer]

[Look, rewards are the best way to ensure repeated behaviors.

The groans just egg him on. Hector slips a hand down to Alucard's side, fingertips sneaking underneath his shirt.

That gasp of his name has him resurfacing. He pauses and looks up, a self-satisfied grin on his face.]

Yes, Alucard?

[cryptsleeper]

You're nearly breaking skin. Just...be careful.

[Yeah, that isn't a whole lot, Alucard. But its also enough for him to angle his head downwards, stealing a kiss at a better angle to save his neck. If only for a moment.]

[petcromancer]

[Hector huffs out a laugh as Alucard kisses him. Almost breaking the skin...who's the vampire now?

He shifts on the couch so he can bring Alucard's leg closer to himself. He kisses to the other side of Alucard's neck, pale and unmarked. He licks it hungrily, teasing. He knows you like the biting, Alucard.]

[cryptsleeper]

I don't want to turn you by accident.

[He'd pout, but too late. Hector's moved closer, and you know what? Alucard's in a mood to be daring. After a moment or two more of wonderful teasing, the dhampir places his hands on Hector's hips and just draaaaaaaaags him so that Hector's just on his lap.]

[petcromancer]

[Hector gasps into Alucard's neck. Oh. It's easy to forget Alucard's super-human strength until he does something like this, moving him effortlessly. He is absolutely into it.]

Do you want me to put my mouth elsewhere, then?

[There isn't an inch of Alucard that Hector doesn't want to kiss. He can move on from the neck if Alucard is worried, although from his end, Hector doesn't think accidental vampirism would be the end of the world. Dracula makes it work, after all.

He wraps a leg around Alucard to anchor himself and scoots in closer. More heat, more friction, more opportunities to make Alucard groan and really test out the sound-proofing in this room.]
