Cuddlr

[darknstormy]

Seth Gecko (28) I'm not here to wax poetic. I've done some very messed up things in my life. I'll be the first to admit that. But I'm not your enemy, and I'm not your friend. I'm simply here for what's mine.

[ If it was weird to find comfort in that kinship then Seth was weird right there with her. That part seemed... right. Commiserating over going through hell created something of an understanding. In part, that was the reason his cuddlr was blunt. No one needed to mistake his presence as anything more than means to an end.

Finding Kate in Eudio had thrown enough of a curve ball at him. Cashmere was... engaging, to say the least. He wasn't sure yet what to think of her. Outwardly beautiful while internally broken? That was a way he would consider describing the preacher's daughter.

Seth had moved from sitting lounged back to slightly hunched forward over the table, his glass cradled between his hands with forearms perched on the table surface. His gaze hadn't wavered from the blonde in front of him. ]

You can say that again. I don't know if a promise to... [ He couldn't help but make a face at the one word that came out next. ] cuddle more will get them to bring my brother here too. Or at least let me see that he's okay.

[ Seth was intense, but not in a way that was off-putting. it's was nice to be able to let her guard down, even just momentarily. life at home wasn't easy or pretty but Seth hadn't even blinked.

she wasn't looking for anything serious, but she never said no to a little company or a new friend who wasn't immediately traumatized by hearing about Panem. and it didn't hurt that Seth was a very good-looking guy. ]

I wouldn't bet money on it and saw it was because of my expert cuddling, but my brother showed up here after a few months. Besides, if cuddling isn't your style, handholding counts. And conversations like this count, too. I don't tell every about my years working in oldest profession.

Your secret's safe with me.

[ He winked in an effort to lighten the conversation but the sadness in his eyes probably gave him away. Seth could have a good poker face in stressful situations. His armor was only thick in battle. There was a softness he couldn't hide, no matter how his father tried to beat it out of him while growing up.

It wasn't as if Seth was opposed to sex. Hell, he even liked affection and had a tendency to touch those he cared about--be it a hand on an arm or shoulder or back. Given his mother abandoned him and his brother, he was careful when it came to sex. The last thing he'd ever find was someone claiming he was the father of their kid.

Yet there was no worry in Eudio over pregnancies or even STDs. He was starting to realize it was more than a physical aspect, as much as Seth tried thinking otherwise. Someone, not something, had a hold on him. She wasn't the wiser. He could try to blame her wanting them to 'socialize' all he wanted.

Here he was in the midst of a good conversation with a beautiful woman but wasn't trying to end the conversation for cuddle points she seemed to be on board with. Or maybe his own dilemma had him reading Cashmere wrong. He held a smirk between bashful and awkward, glancing down to his drink then taking a sip. ]

I mean that.

[ It wasn't the right time to make light. Seth realized that. His eyes picked up apologetic even though an apology didn't leave his lips. Cashmere might have been forward and nosy, there was something in what she said that he identified with: they were both damaged goods. There was no making light of that. ]

Your brother's okay though? Was it months for him or...?

[ He couldn't help but remember what Kate said. It was impossible to forget. The last Seth had saw her, she walked into Hell--his brother supposedly already there according to Amaru. Yet according to Kate, Richie had walked her out of Hell. Months ago. At that time, Seth had been in Eudio for a day--less than that. ]
