a bugs life

Tyberius would absolutely do that to poor little him, and he was anticipating being able to share the unique experience of swapping spider spit. He had shrugged at the question of taste. It wasn't the best thing he had ever eaten, but it certainly wasn't the worst. Ty imagined that a spider would probably taste better cooked.
Levi seemed to be taking his bait well enough, focusing on the mark. He had nicked himself on something earlier, and it posed as a perfect spider bite. Continuing to whimper and complain, Ty had to choke back a smile when Levi slowly came closer.

His arm was stolen and for a moment, Ty admired his cute roommate. Ever so gently, a kiss had been pressed onto his arm, and Ty tilted his head. He had anticipated Levi coming closer, maybe even patting him, but hadn't expected him to kiss it. The moment passed quickly, and Ty curled his arm around with a low growl, wrapping around Levi as he took the shining window of opportunity. "Too slow !" Squishing Levi, Ty rolled over until he was sat on top of the smaller boy, moving until their faces were mere inches apart. A terrible grin on his face, Ty recalled a piece of spider he had stored in his cheek, bringing it forward onto his tongue. Quickly before Levi could escape, Ty mashed his mouth with Levi's, leaving a wet sloppy kiss as he thrust his tongue forward, making sure the transfer of spider was complete. Rolling over onto his back now, Ty released Levi as he burst out in giggles, bringing a hand up to smother the noise. "Told you I'd get you."

Levi's reaction was priceless, as was expected. He couldn't stop laughing now, pressing both hands to his face to try to settle himself. Such an outburst of emotion was an incredibly different feeling, and it only made him more amused at the situation. "Don't get sick on the bed." Serious now, Ty squinted over at his fussing roommate, not wanting to be the one to clean up any vomit off the bedsheets. Spit and other ... Fluids, he could deal with.

The smile returning to his face at his good trick, Ty shrugged. "You shouldn't trust me, then." Propping his head under his arm, Ty really wanted to go back to his nap. "I don't know, I feel pretty royal right now. Maybe royal enough to go find my princess and move into a castle." Stretching back out, Ty rolled over onto his side, curling up into himself a little. "It's so cold without you, why are you so far away?" He would need to get up and clean his unfinished meal off the ground, as well. With a sigh, he sat back up, tucking one leg under the other as he sat and stared at the vanquished monster on their floor. "At least it died easy. Hey, you think it's just playing dead? I didn't actually bite down very hard. Just enough to cut the legs off. Go touch it to make sure. Maybe you can kiss it too."

Sitting back on the bed for a moment, Ty watched as Levi disappeared into the bathroom, presumably to either vomit or wash himself out. The temporary panic from the spider had worn off by now, and he wondered if Levi would come close enough again to nap with him. Probably not, especially since he hadn't bothered to wash his own mouth out yet.

"Why not? Castles have bigger, softer beds, and servants that will come feed you so you don't need to get out of bed." His own home growing up was essentially a castle, and in some small way, he missed it. He could still drop out, go get married and have his own castle. His mother would like that, he bet. "You did break the spell. I'm a prince now, I have to live in a castle. Maybe I'll go home, marry that girl, and become a prince." Ty threw a sly look at Levi, knowing that he would do no such thing. Slowly, he slid off the bed, poking into the bathroom for a bit of paper to clean the spider up with. Dropping the couple squares of paper onto the wet bug, Ty looked down solemnly at it. "You served your purpose well." Bending, he made sure to scoop all the bits and pieces of the broken spider up, carrying it to the trash bin to deposit it into it's fate. Hopefully they wouldn't wake up with it missing.

Tyberius cocked his head to the left a bit. He didn't recall ever having any issues with keeping warm in his sprawling castle. He had always figured that a more modern house would be warmer, but modern homes just weren't as impressive. Then again, he was mostly fitted with boiling baths and roaring fires every night. Those were nice, long hot baths by the fireside. Shivering at the memory, Ty watched as his roommate curled up under the blankets, the lump rolling into a ball.

Unable to help himself, Ty scooted a bit closer, pressing down tentatively on the breathing lump under the covers. "You look like a giant potato like that." The lumpy, shapeless creature in his bed made his mouth bunch to the side a bit, somewhat resembling a smile. "Are you cold?" Ripping the blankets apart, Ty settled himself into his bed, tugging them back over after wrapping his arms around Levi, dragging him close. His fingers ran through Levi's hair, down his neck and across his spine. Over and over again, Ty settled into the gentle petting motions, his eyes closing half-way as he worked himself into something of a trance, wanting to stay awake but also wanting to sleep a bit more. Pinching the skin on the back of Levi's neck for a moment, Tyberius leaned in closer. "Sleep tight. Don't let the spiders bite."
