"Why, I've never seen a rabbit so large as you before."
Leaning against the tree said 'rabbit' was lounging beneath, Aki flashed him a fanged grin. The festival going on around them was alright, and it might have interested him more if he were human enough to appreciate it, but he was mainly here for the social aspect: the people-watching, the being part of a 'pack', the food. This little human stood out among the others both as an oddity and as a human-sized representation of, well...
A common type of wolf food.
It was strangely fascinating, and he'd been interested in seeing just how rabbit-like he was. Prey that could talk? It was a bit of a novelty.
He took a small bite of his half-eaten honeycake, eyes fixed on the rabbit. "Does the resemblance end at the ears?"
Jovan had been enjoying the festival. He loved them, so bright and fun and exciting. He had to be a little careful about being out in the sun too long, so for lunch he had found a large tree to sit under, snacking delicately on a vegetable pie he had purchased earlier.
It was warm and rich and the gravy just melted in his mouth, the crust flaky and brown. And it was now being interrupted by some very rude man. Lifting his head, Jovan was startled that the man was actually very attractive. The artist in him marveled at the bone structure and the raw, feral masculinity of the other man.
Blinking, Jovan forced himself to not just stare at the man, finally finding words, "I also have a tail."
Oh? Was that a look of interest? Hmm...that hadn't been what Aki had been going for here, but if so, that just made it even better. Time to test the waters.
Smiling, though he allowed it to shift from purely predatory to slightly sensual, he lowered himself down next to the boy. "Do you? How fascinating. So ears, a tail, and..." He glanced down at his half-eaten honeycake, then tossed the rest aside and leaned in a little closer. "Hungry wolves on the prowl. It must be exhausting."
Jovan flushed when the gorgeous man squatted down next to him. He was even better looking up close. The artist was having a hard time remembering to breathe right, his heart pounding and his pants feeling rather warm, "Oh? Wolves? I don't know, I haven't seen any of those today." He smiled, leaning a little closer, his ears pricked forward in interest, "Should I be wary of you?"
"Oh yes," Aki said, yellow eyes meeting the boy's pink ones. Reaching out slowly, he brushed his hand against one soft ear, dragging his fingers along the length of it. "Because you're looking at one now."
Oh sweet gods. Jovan shivered, his ear twitching under Aki's touch. The fur was silky soft under the wolf's touch and very warm. He was going to die. This amazingly hot guy was totally into him! "Oh r-" Jovan paused, clearing his throat as his voice came out a little high, "Oh really? What if I don't want to be wary?"
Aki felt the boy shiver beneath his hand, and he trailed it down his ear and to his cheek. "If you don't, well..." His grin turned predatory as he moved his thumb along the boy's jaw and over his bottom lip, pausing just long enough to let the kid get some ideas of his own. The kid really was quite pretty, soft and warm, and he had all his attention focused on him. This was so easy it was kind of magical.
His voice lowered into a husky growl, "Then I just might have to eat you up."
Jovan made a small noise in the back of his throat, something not entirely human. His pale skin was quite flushed and he still had the pie gripped between his hands, utterly forgotten as the painter stared at Aki. He had to shift his weight a little, not wanting the stunning dark skinned man to notice exactly how much of an effect those actions and words were having on him.
Licking his lips, Jovan's pink eyes stared into Aki's golden ones, "Would that be so bad?"
"Bad? Not at all," Aki said, cupping Jovan's chin and drawing him nearer until their faces were only inches apart. He leaned in close to the boy's ear and added, breath warm against his skin, "I know I'm dying to taste you."
"Yes please." Jovan's lips parted and he shivered again, eyes closing. He wasn't normally this interested in people whose names he didn't even know, but the man's striking looks and aggressive flirting was really doing a number on the rabbit's senses.
"Excellent." With a throaty growl, Aki slid his hand into the rabbit's hair and gently tugged his head back. He pressed his lips to the boy's throat and gave his skin a light nibble before soothing the area with his tongue, tasting him, his other arm banding around Jovan's waist to hold him there. "Mmm...I'll make it quick," he purred, letting the rabbit feel his fangs against his throat as he spoke.
Jovan's felt his heart pounding in excitement when the man tugged his head back. This was all so wild and scandalous like some bard's story! He curled against the man, still clutching his pie, making that small sound again.
Until he felt the fangs. The rabbit side of his brain reacted first, going totally still, then with a terrified squeal, sounding more like a rabbit than a human, Jovan started struggling, "Wait! No! What are you doing?!"
Aki's hand tightened in Jovan's hair in an effort to hold him still, and he raised his head and peered down at the rabbit with a look of what he hoped was genuine confusion. "What do you mean, what am I doing? You agreed to it," he said, and ran his tongue over his fangs. "I did say I would eat you up. That I wanted to taste you." A slow smile spread across his lips, feral and predatory. "Should have run, little rabbit, when the wolf told you it was hungry."
The rabbit's eyes widened and he gave another frightened squeal, struggling harder in the man's grip. That is not what he had lead Jovan to believe! "Unhand me!" Taking the hot pie still clenched in his hands, Jovan shoved it into Aki's face, "Eat this then!"
...Well, that was unexpected.
Hot vegetable pie smashed into Aki's face and he gave a startled snarl of rage and pain, reaching up to claw it off him--and letting go of Jovan in the process. While it wasn't hot enough to scald, it was hot enough to be painfully unpleasant, and it quickly flipped Aki's switch from 'just fucking with you' to 'pissed off'. Fortunately for Jovan, he couldn't do anything about that until he could see, and thanks to him, he was currently blinded by gravy.
Jovan didn't waste the opportunity and scrambled up, not caring if his flailing limbs smacked into Aki. He made sure to put some distance between Aki and himself, ears quivering with indignation, "You are an animal! Attacking me like that!"
The fact that Aki hadn't lied was not the point here! He had been led on! Deceived and attacked and accosted!
With another snarl, wiping the gravy off with his sleeve, Aki lurched to his feet and stalked toward Jovan, teeth bared. "An animal? Yes, and proudly so. Attack you? No. You offered yourself to me freely," he growled, though his lips quirked into a dangerous grin. "Begged me to take you, even."
"I did not! You tricked me!" Jovan backed away quickly, alarmed at the way Aki was looking at him. The fact there were a number of people around and the pie to the face had caused a few to pay attention to the pair wasn't making Jovan feel any safer, "Don't you lay a hand on me! HELP!"
