"Redglove, behave yourself," X spoke sternly, no room for argument. Yet Redglove found room, found a strange enjoyment in coiling his long, gangly limbs around X's body, staring down at him with that dopey, toothless smile.
"You can't speake for me!" Redglove grinned, curling up tighter around his limbs, constricting him like a snake to its prey. "I do vat I WANT, and zhat meansss-"
X managed to wriggle an arm free and shot it forward, gripping Redglove's shoulder to get him to pay attention. And God, X had that... look, in his half lidded eyes. The one that always sent a chill down his spine, the look that meant trouble. Or rather, meant He was in trouble.
"Redglove," X said, the low, intimate tone of his voice catching Red by surprise. This reaction wasn't what he was expecting at all- he looked away and tried not to squeal in glee as his thumb started tracing circles into his shoulder.
His hands traced X's sides. "Aheehehee... I vas theenking you'd geev me some kindah-"
"Redglove," he repeated, finally connecting eye contact this time. A snarky grin split X's face, full of teeth and malice. "Be a good boy and listen to what I tell you. Behave yourself."
Redglove froze up, then threw away all pretence in favour of letting out a loud screech of fluster. "Don't- doon't saey zhaaat!" He buried his face in X's shoulder to hide his furious blushing.
"What's the matter?" X cooed teasingly. "Scared of the fact you might like being called a-"
"LORDY!" Redglove screeched again, squeezing him closer in a futile attempt to get him to quit. "Stop TEAASING!"
"I know you find some kind of enjoyment out of it, given your reaction," X said simply. He brought his hand up to comb through Redglove's quills. "Now. Loosen. Up." X tugged at the limbs winding around his body.
...
Redglove didn't loosen up. In fact, his arms and legs coiled tighter around X, trapping him and-
"Must we play this game of yours, pup? I can tell what you're trying to get out of this." Jesus, those pet names always did him in.
Redglove nipped at his shoulder as payback before responding, "Zhen jus'... geev me it alreddy!"
X grumbled and gripped one of Redglove's quills, tangling in the rough spikes as he brought his face to his. X let out a low hum of amusement, letting the tension play out. "Is there something stopping you, pup?"
Redglove was the one to press their lips together, gripping X's shoulders, torso, whatever he could reach. The kiss was... sweet, much to their mutual surprise. Their lips explored each others, feeling that rising feeling of butterflies in his stomach that got Redglove to break apart with a squeak, just barely stopping X from trailing kisses down his neck.
He looked almost giddy as his limbs hesitantly disentangled from X's, giving him a glare. "Are you TRYING ta KEELE ME?" he grumbled, even as he curled up in X's side.
X just laughed, combing through Redglove's quills again. "You let go. Good boy."
"Shut up!!”
