[ he's completely speechless for a moment, looking away with a frown. dammit shylock he came here to forget about that guy and you have to remind him of him at the worst possible moment. but… his hold on shylock's wrist doesn't relent.
he turns his gaze back slowly to meet his eyes - red and deep, on the beautiful face of the jewel of the west. the devil of the west. the myriad of nicknames shylock was known for. he wonders for a moment if losing his notoriety in this place affected shylock at all, considering how vain he is and how much pride he took on being so well-known.
or maybe bradley's just desperately looking for someone to relate to. ]
…You're a jackass.
[ he doesn't say it with any malicious intent. and for all it's worth, bradley's more than just fond of shylock. part of bradley’s afraid he's letting himself be too vulnerable in front of him, but for as much as shylock enjoys teasing him, he's never once mocked him over anything - not even him being no better than a human. so yes, he might not be the person he's pining over, but that doesn't mean bradley isn't here for shylock himself.
the grip on his wrist loosens, and his hand moves over to caress the side of shylock’s face, moving some strands of hair away from his eyes with a bitter expression. ]
You want me here, yeah? …You want to be mine, no matter what?
[ he wants… at least one person to tell him that… but he doesn't know how to ask. all he can do is demand it and hope he's not pushed away. ]
[ oh, my. bradley is practically on his knees and begging for it. that's very dangerous to ask for from a western wizard, you know?
but perhaps because it is dangerous that bradley is going for it anyway, thrill-seeking northerner that he is. perhaps that this moment of weakness coming from the other man is making shylock think up of so many ways to do with him. either way, it means that bradley trusts shylock this much.
he leans his head on bradley's hand, closing his eyes. it's folly to think that anyone could truly own shylock for themselves -- not even murr is privy to that. but shylock figures that he very may as well be honest about this. ]
Bradley. [ he sighs out the other wizard's name. ] Ever since coming here... I've always hoped you'll descend down here in hell with me.
[ he then leans in closer, pressing himself impossibly closer to the other man. ]
So why not take the opportunity to take what's yours for tonight? [ for once, shylock will let him. ]
[ shylock is a beautiful validation machine - one that bradley needs more than he'd ever admit to himself. he sighs with relief when he finally hears what he wanted to hear more than anything else, barring a proper invitation to live together.
with shylock's chest pressed close to his own like this, there's an immediate reaction from bradley's body. sweet words that ring true coming from the most attractive person in all of hell would get anyone hard, after all. his free hand circles around shylock to hold his waist, caressing his face with his other palm before leaning in to kiss him.
he makes sure it's deep from the start, still tasting like alcohol. he should probably wait until they're in a bedroom or at least somewhere with a decent surface, but how could he, when shylock is impossible to resist? ]
[ mm, going for the offense now, are we? that's fine, shylock supposes. bradley needs this more than him, after all, and shylock is only fulfilling his fuck quota of sorts as tamamo lieutenant. one could even this an orientation of sorts, a taste of what this version of hell has to offer.
and it's not as though he's going to slack off when it comes to makeouts either. shylock doesn't hesitate in returning the kiss with equal fervor, his tongue urging bradley's lips to open up so that he can explore the other's mouth and taste more of that alcohol. it's intoxicating, even for someone who rarely if ever gets drunk, and shylock needs more of it.
he pulls away slightly to breathe, but not without tugging gently at bradley's lower lip. taking his hand, he drags him away to the bedroom, where he all but forces bradley to sit on the bed so that shylock can stand in between his legs and strip off his own clothing nice and slowly. the way he unbuttons his vest is excruciatingly slow, as do the rest of his top, but if bradley is that eager to get it started already he should do something about that. :) ]
[ shylock is the closest thing to a big tiddy witch around so, he gets bradley immediately horny …yeah, he's into it until it becomes obvious that shylock is taking too long on purpose. he starts undoing his own shirt after removing his tie, clicking his tongue. ]
[ shylock only laughs as he continues to unbutton his top slowly and deliberately, his unblemished skin starting to peek out with every button undone. ]
I do. But that wouldn't be romantic, would it?
[ why would you rush the Shylock Bennett Experience™️, bradley. they have all night for this, assuming that murr doesn't bust in on them going at it anytime soon. wouldn't that be scandalous and exciting? ]
[ listen unless murr is also a big titty witch, he's not allowed in here.
but it's true, he's supposed to be here to clear his mind, and... because he missed shylock, frankly. he reaches to touch the naked sides of his body, tugging him close - slowly, this time, looking up at him. ]
You're looking for romance with a Northern Wizard? You know that's not something just anyone can pursue.
[ it can happen!! murr transforms all the time! #BoobsforBradley2022
shylock lets himself be pulled in, a hand coming up to cup bradley's cheek. ]
It isn't wise to pursue a romantic relationship with a Western wizard neither. [ he smiles, just saying. and besides, no matter what bradley does, he'll never be as batshit as murr. ] Would you rather we skip the formalities and have you fuck me instead?
[ the shirt falls onto the floor. his smile widens, his gaze half-lidded. ]
[ he says, like a liar. he pulls him even closer, running his hands up his sides towards his perfectly pristine chest, slowly sliding his palm over his wizard crest. ]
[ okay, he has to laugh. sorry bradley, it's nothing personal. but how many times has shylock heard that from countless people he'd bedded for the past millenia and a half? really, bradley should focus more on people he can and will have.
shylock then presses a hand on bradley's chest and pushes him to lie down on the bed before clambering onto the bed and straddling the other wizard's hips. is he hard already? let him just grind his own hips down a little and check if he is. ]
You should save those words for someone who needs it more than I do.
[ of course he's turned on already. imagine not being horny while being straddled by shylock from the west??? it's impossible. he holds his hips in place, grinding his definitely hard cock against him. ]
Hah. That's not gonna be easy. Everyone wants to hear that from me.
[ what he really means is nero doesn't want to hear it from him. he just wants to be fwb or something stupid and juvenile like that and it drives bradley insane. bradley wants... something. he wants to be someone's something. if nero won't take him, he'll at least want to be someone important to shylock. he doesn't care if murr is part of the picture, either; as long as shylock feels something for him - anything, any feeling at all besides phyisical attraction - bradley couldn't ask for anything else. ]
And I'm not sayin' it 'cause you need to hear it or not. I'm tellin' you because it's the truth, and I don't think anyone here really knows your worth.
[ ahh, that's more like it. shylock grinds his hips at bradley right back, a soft groan leaving his lips. ]
Are you certain? I was here far longer than you are, Bradley. I might have already found other people who pique my interest far better than the ones back home.
[ most of them don't hate wizards, bar one (matoba, ofc). they come from different worlds, live different and exciting lives from the ones he's used to in wizardland. it'd be easier to fall for anyone here--
but alas. no one will ever catch his attention than murr. he lowers himself upon bradley, his long dark hair hanging over the other wizard like a certain. ]
[ he snorts, knowing full-well shylock has already fallen in wizard love, which means he's doomed forever. his love story with murr is legendary after all, so he knows shylock hasn't found anyone else.
as for him... he never thought about it. he's never named his feelings for nero, so this "find someone else" reads a little alien to him. except nero's all he can think about when romance is brought up. weird and unexplainable. ]
You think just anyone can pique the interest of the Great Bradley?
[ finally, he places a hand behind shylock's head, pulling him in for a deep kiss tasting of alcohol while his other hand wanders over shylock's naked back. ]
[ it's not that he's doomed. they've been at this for far longer than bradley and nero had. and if shylock has to die for the sake of love, then so be it.
he hums happily into the kiss, licking at the taste of alcohol in bradley's mouth. shylock can't get drunk from this, but weaker wizards would've fallen for bradley's wily charms and aggressive attitude. it really would've been so easy. he shifts on top of the other man, his hand making quick work of unzipping the front of bradley's pants and stroking him from outside his underwear. ]
I wonder. [ he chuckles as he breaks the kiss to catch his breath, teeth lightly tugging at bradley's lower lip. ] You wanted my attention so bad, didn't you? Like a puppy longing for a home.
[ he can't deny that the prospect of not having a home weighs heavy on his mind, but shylock addresses the issue so sweetly and makes it sound like he's the solution, and it works; it puts bradley's heart at ease.
he sucks in a breath through his teeth when shylock makes quick work of his pants and strokes his hard cock through his clothes. he wants to push him down and take over, use him until he lets out all his frustration... but something about his intoxicating voice and the way he bites his lip slows him down. he keeps his hand on shylock's back, while his other moves up his front, slowly crawling up his chest. ]
...Don't tease me too much.
[ he enjoys the foreplay but he has a short limit for it. if shylock doesn't use something other than his hands on him soon, bradley'll have no choice but to take over faster than expected. ]
[ a soft laugh, before he hides his face on the crook of bradley's neck to leave a bite there, sinking his teeth and sucking a little. just a little reminder that everything that happens tonight is real -- though it isn't like bradley is going to forget anytime soon. if anything he might be the type of guy to show it off in public... ]
There's no rush. [ his voice remains teasing as his hand digs further into bradley's pants, slipping into his underwear and bringing his cock out. doesn't even take him that long to get hard with just a few solid strokes. ] Unless you wanted to go all out on me right away. That's fine too.
[ shylock's really pushing it... but that might be his plan -- rile bradley up enough so that brad will take the reins out of sheer horniness and impatience. either way, both of them will be satisfied. ]
[ enough. bradley reached his limit, gripping shylock's shoulders with force suddenly before turning on his side with him in tow, pushing his back against the mattress. ]
Of course I want to go all out. You got me this hard already, so you don't have to give me a lap dance anymore.
[ or whatever shylock was doing. either way, he lowers himself down to kiss him, deep and open, almost parched as he presses a leg in between shylock's to spread them apart. ]
[ it's called foreplay, brad... but all right, all right. shylock laughs as he's pinned down, lets himself be kissed hungrily as he spreads his legs. one hand clutches at bradley's shoulder while the other wanders down to continue stroking at the other man's length.
he pulls away for a moment, licking at bradley's lips and tasting more of that wine. mm, delicious as always. ]
Do you intend to fuck me through my clothing, then?
