[ hums thoughtfully into Anubis' ear, the sound a little more lilting and musical than normal ]
You're right... and there are many more I could help with, if you were interested.
[ --some of the flirtatiousness drops out of his tone, replaced with a bemused curiosity, even if he seems content to stay draped on Anubis like he is ]
What do you think this place would even consider a "taboo act"?
[ Oh... that's nice. For as much as he's been a Siren All Over People he hasn't actually gotten much in the way of...reciprocation? So this, having Anubis engage physically with him at all is... is nice.
It seems to slow him down, too, makes him a little less overbearing in his teasing. His draping turns a little more towards cuddling, even as he noses over Anubis' temple ]
[ reaches lazily for Anubis' phone again, though instead of taking his phone he takes Anubis' hand instead, moving to make him hold the phone up for both of them, considering ]
I don't want anything carved into me, and I don't have a tail you can pull.
[ blinks, and then a smirk spreads slowly across his face. How coy. He's also pretending he's not deeply, deeply please that Anubis has suggested, and therefore apparently wants to, do this ]
I am, conveniently! And I think you could more easily get other people to agree to help you with the cuddling, if you needed that square later.
[ he moves his hands down to Anubis' hips, encouraging him to turn around ]
[ he's certainly acting more suave than he feels, but being a siren helps with that. And, Anubis is, well.
He cute.
So it's not hard to lean down to meet him, his lips still curled slightly in satisfaction as he returns that kiss--copying the light contact, and then repeating it, settling in slowly ]
[makes a soft sound of approval into the kiss, pressing a bit closer. it's a little clumsier than it might otherwise be, given the fact that Anubis is dealing with fangs that he doesn't usually have, but he's not going to let that stop him from enjoying himself.]
[ The clumsiness doesn't put Malik off at all. Anubis almost certainly has more experience than Malik when it comes to this kind of thing to begin with, so there's a little clumsiness on his side as well.
The awkwardness aside, this is also... nice. He doesn't think about it much, but his life has been pretty light on pleasant physical contact. But also, his stomach does a weird swoopy thing every time their lips brush against each other, but that's not unpleasant either... ]
[Anubis slowly slides one hand from Malik's shoulder down his bicep, fingers tracing curiously over the scales on his arm. he can't help it, okay, it's interesting. it's... strange to be kissing someone as a vampire, since aside from the fangs there's also the fact that Malik's mouth feels almost hot, and he's weirdly aware of his pulse?
but it's nice, and Anubis isn't going to let the particulars distract him too much as he grows more confident in the kiss.]
[ and in contrast, Anubis' mouth is strangely cold, and that's fascinating. It makes him wonder if it would stay that way, or if he'd start to leech heat from their kiss
--after a moment of consideration, he dabs his tongue against Anubis' lower lip, kind of a question ]
[ He can feel that, the smiling, and he's not sure if he's being laughed at somehow?? So he gets pushy; both Malik's hands slide down Anubis' sides, then around and in to link together at the small of his back, which tugs him very close. ]
[WELL OKAY he wasn't expecting that, and makes a surprised sound into Malik's mouth, wings flaring-- but he doesn't seem like he's complaining? certainly he doesn't try to remove himself from Malik's grip, and his own arms loop over Malik's shoulders.]
[ ...once again having Anubis reciprocate and move on his own is so nice, and puts Malik at ease again, his body relaxing by measures as he's not fought, as he's touched in return. His hold becomes a little less crushing, though he doesn't move further to put any space between them.
...he does pull back from the kiss however, so slowly and only far enough that he can graze Anubis' lower lip with the needle-sharp points of his teeth--teasing and testing for a reaction ]
[a reaction is what he gets! Anubis gives a little "oh!" gasp of surprise. his tongue flicks out to better test the sharpness of Malik's teeth, just barely touching the tips.]
[ the are so sharp! and so thin! Malik goes still, letting Anubis explore--which is maybe a little weird, but, well... everything about Monster Makeouts is A Little Weird. So it's fine.
His fingers loosen from where they're knit together at the small of Anubis' back, beginning to stroke a short line alone his spine ]
[makes a pleased sort of hum at Malik's touch. he finishes exploring his teeth, pulling back just enough to press a chaste kiss to the corner of Malik's mouth. then he's kissing him properly again, lips and tongue starting to warm a bit.]

no subject
I don't know. I had some questions about that one too -- it's not like we, um, have a codified set of rules.
no subject
[ turns his head to nuzzle at the back of Anubis' ear ]
If there are things the card holder finds taboo.
no subject
I never-- end up getting a blackout on these things, anyway. So maybe it'll just be an unsolved mystery.
no subject
[ keeps nuzzling, just. just wrapped around Anubis at this point. The least subtle siren. ]
no subject
[huffs, letting his head fall back to rest on Malik's shoulder.]
There are plenty of other options.

So choose one of them.
no subject
I want to know what ones you're okay with, first.
no subject
I don't want anything carved into me, and I don't have a tail you can pull.
no subject
Well... we're basically already cuddling, so that's just the "for warmth" part missing. But!
[starts to bite his lower lip the way he usually does when he's nervous, then remembers: oh yeah, fangs.]
You are a different monster type.
no subject
I am, conveniently! And I think you could more easily get other people to agree to help you with the cuddling, if you needed that square later.
[ he moves his hands down to Anubis' hips, encouraging him to turn around ]
--And that sounds like more fun.
no subject
Oh, good. I thought so too.
[his hands come up to rest on Malik's shoulders and he leans in to kiss him. just a brush of lips, at first.]
no subject
He cute.
