Auden

"Ah fuck, I'm freaking out here." Auden would visibly start to pace in his office, his arms crossed tightly around his chest, his hands close on his biceps, arms turning red and white from how tightly they were getting gripped. "I am freaking the fucking fuck out, Felix." He knew that Alexandrei was going to come over, and he wasn't even sure that he could control how red his face was going to get seeing him again. It was the simplest of things that happened between them that excited him beyond whatever anyone else had been able to do. Something was special about how he saw Alexandrei, and he doubted that there was going to be someone else to make him feel his giddy.

"Well... You look good and he wants to take you up on your offer, no? You should be excited about it. I'm sure that he will just be happy that you are engaging with him just as much as you are. Even if it's just a little bit, right?" Felix would pat at his shoulder, trying to calm his emotions so that the fiery phoenix didn't lose his temper over his excitement. "You're beautiful and talented and rich, and you're his friend. Things are going to be okay." A small kiss on the head, and a little pat on his head. It seems that whatever Felix said and did actually did calm him enough to feel his heart rate go down.

"Right well, but... I guess I'll wait for him." Auden would fix his hair in a mirror, before moving out of his office and getting Agnis. Almost like a puppy dog, he would wait at the main entrance with Agnis on his shoulder, as if to greet Alexandrei like he was a damn door holder.

screaming

the name

of a

foreigner's god

[attr="class","fg-post"]

People can try to be inconspicuous, hiding their hands behind their mouths and with lightning quick glances, but to him, a man who's seen the true nature of people down to the barebones of their anger and the sunniness of their laughs, he's no stranger to how people seem more intent on looking at him these days.[break][break]

Initially, he based it off how he tended to stand out in the crowds with his golden-blonde hair and the mask on half of his face, but the more he listened to their gossip the second the stark second he came to the doors of Auden's agency, Rising Phoenix, he realised that it was about him. Or rather, them. The media, the magazines who profited off of celebrities' lives and other people's suffrage, had been speculating rather... inappropriately, to say the least. The kindest words he could think them mention was that they looked like "a cute couple", whilst the others commented on Auden's private life. Quite literally.[break][break]

But as per usual, he didn't care, and he never would. So he kept walking, and he entered the building.[break][break]

He didn't dress that extravagantly as Auden, the long dark overcoat he usually wore was replaced by a light grey jacket and with duller other clothes, completely contrasting the phoenix's colours so much that he reminded Alexandrei moreso of a peacock rather than his other namesake, but he didn't mind. His gaze was less sharp when he surveyed everyone around him that looked at him like he had grown another head and it landed on Auden, who honestly, he was still unsure about.[break][break]

It took more than words and a little bit of fire to make him be friends with anyone. Alexandrei was the astronomer who preferred actions over dialogue. [break][break]

And dialogue... he was a little concerned that the other person he didn't know the name of who had viscerally glared at him for being around Auden at the cafe. Or more, wondering what would happen if he was here. Nonetheless, he approached Auden, gaze flicking between him and the little pigeon perched on his shoulder. "Hey," He greeted quietly, not bothering to look at anyone but him who seemed to be more intent on staring at them. "How have you been?"

Auden

As he stepped out and clutched onto Agnis like it was the only thing that mattered, he was a bit bewildered with the reactions that he was hearing around him. A cute couple? A good pairing? Someone worth someone as pretty as Auden? The thoughts that not only patrons of his agency, but his employees said these things behind his back kind of made him uneasy. Sure, he would like to think such things eventually, but Auden wanted to take his time with Alexandrei. He knew that his relationships and physical outings was going to make it hard for people to take that sentiment seriously, but it was truer than most things in his life right now.

With a sigh of almost disbelief, his eyes would cascade over Alexandrei. Wow, he didn't even need to try and he was fucking gorgeous. It was honestly a bit unfair, but perhaps they had that in common; some people just had an unearthly look to them that made it hard for them to fit in with others. Both of them stood out for different reasons, so it made sense that people were already speculating about why they were hanging out together; because of Auden, they just assumed it was sexual in nature.

Agnis would immediately go over to Alexandrei, offering a small nuzzle of his puffy feathered cheek to the stargazer before moving to perch on his shoulder instead. He was only mirroring the actions and feelings of Auden after all, as Auden's cheeks were a bright red hue. If someone didn't know that he was physically and emotionally attracted to Alexandrei, they'd think he had a fever.

"Hey." He'd tuck a few strands behind his ear, wavering his gaze between Alex and those around them. So many fucking stares... "I've been good, busy but good- should we...?" Auden would motion to his office, who thankfully had some delightful fog glass effects for when you locked the door. "I don't really want people watching us like this, it seems that people are a bit more... Interested than usual in my life." A shy laugh, before Auden's body would half turn towards the door he had left only moments ago. It seemed that Felix was gone for the time being, so it would just be the two of them in his rather spacious office.

As Alexandrei stepped in, the office would be filled with a small table with multiple seats, most likely for important meetings. On the wall closest to the lobby there laid a long L-shaped couch, that had a small water cooler, mini fridge and ending machine with some of Auden's favorite snacks. On the opposite wall was a large flat screen TV, and some pretty covers of the magazine that the agency published with Auden as the focal point. Plants hung from the ceiling, and there seemed to be color changing lights installed. Auden would promptly lock the door behind Alex to allow for the glass that the room was made off to fog up, giving them some privacy. "Would you care for a drink?" He'd point to the water cooler and mini fridge, opening up the latter to reveal some popular sodas, canned coffee, and some black and green teas.

Alexandrei frowns somewhat at that. Is Auden really that popular? He wouldn’t know, and frankly, wouldn’t care either, but it did make him wonder on who exactly he was getting involved with and on how exactly famous the modeller was, given that even his own employees had stopped to look at them. The gossip was strong surrounding this one. It was a good thing that Auden has found someone as uncaring about the public as Alexandrei.[break][break]

Or maybe it wasn’t. Who knows?[break][break]

He gives the tiniest start at feeling Agnis land on him and burrow into his clothes. “I’ve noticed,” Alexandrei agrees, now thoroughly distracted. “It hasn’t been that long since we last met and it seems like you’re the tabloids’ favourite subject at the moment with how people saw us at the cafè.” He doesn’t mention himself and the rumours surrounding him, merely nodding in compliance. “Let’s.”[break][break]

It’s a nice little place, and he entirely appreciates the mode of privacy that the glass walls provide, silently observing the room as Auden moves around, glancing upwards at the lights that hang overhead. Some may have found them childish, but to him they reminded him of the glittering stars at midnight. “Pretty.” He comments offhandedly before moving to stand beside Auden.[break][break]

“Do you have coffee?” He asks bluntly, reaching up to scratch at the pigeon’s chin like he had done last time. “Hot coffee. I don’t think I’m awake enough just yet for anything you might have planned today.”

Auden

"That's the life of someone like me sadly. It just happens that you're..." He wasn't even sure how to word that one. "...That you're interesting to them, I guess mysterious. They're wondering why I am like I am around you." Since Auden did act completely different around Alexandrei after all, not that the stargazer would know that unless he had seen Auden not interacting with him.

Auden was more than happy to get into this room, looking at Alexandrei as he called the lights pretty; there had only been a single millisecond where he thought that the hero was talking about him. "Hot coffee? Um, yeah, there should be some in the food area outside. I'll get you some!" Before Alexandrei could even protest, he would unlock the door and run out of the room, going down the hallway and to the small food court to get him some hot coffee. A handful of creams and sugars, and he was back just as soon as he had left.

As he took his time to get back though, it seemed that Felix would pop his head into the room, give Alexandrei a look up and down for a moment, before just smiling. "Sorry for those out there, Auden gets this treatment all the time so... It's just how it is, don't think too much of it." A pause, his eyes glancing over to Auden as he started to make his way back to the room. "I hope to see you around more! Seems you two need each other." A shrug before Auden would promptly punch his arm for snooping into the room, before Auden would go and lock the door. Placing the coffee on a small little table, he would dump the small mountains of creamer and sugar beside it. "...I forgot to ask what you liked in it." Auden would just stand there like a lost puppy before settling to grab a black tea out of his fridge and sitting beside Alexandrei.

"... Um..." Right, why had he invited him here even? "I'm glad that Agnis seems to be used to you now." With the mention of his name, he would perk up and move to try to climb up onto Alexandrei's head before using his little wings to glide down beside where the coffee had been placed as if to show off for his new friend. Auden would promptly clap to the display, before focusing his gaze to Alexandrei as Agnis cautiously tried to get onto the hero's lap. "I didn't have anything super planned, I was just thinking of taking you to some fun locations that I like. I know that we were cut off last time from really doing much more."

Auden would get up even though he had just sat down, and he would go and grab a little notepad and pen. Sitting down, he would flip it open. "...I was also hoping to ask you some questions about yourself, and maybe even sketch you?" Hiding behind his sketchpad, he'd just allow his bright red eyes to stare back to him.

Alexandrei didn't reply to the man's comments, merely staring at him before Auden budged in both physically and literally into their non-existent conversation. He didn't know who that was, and he seemed to be pretty close to Auden if anything seeing how they interacted. A friend? Sibling? Unimportant. What was more important was feeling more awake than dozy as he was now. "Thank you." He says before lifting it to his lips, sighing quietly. Much better. "I usually take it black. I don't like to rot my teeth. I take it that you... put a lot of sugar in yours?" He adds on, staring down at the small mountain of creamer and sugar laden on the table.[break][break]

The astronomer watches with mild interest as Agnis did his own thing which reminded him of a puppy performing tricks without being asked to for treats. What a fascinating creature. "I am as well," He agrees. "whilst I've seen an incredible amount of animals on my travels, some affected by experiments by quirks, some not, I don't think I've seen one quite like this before. Agnis is... quite a peculiar looking bird. Do you have a set of outfits for him?"[break][break]

At Auden's addition of words, he looks the tiniest bit conflicted. He didn't know what happened after he left the café that day- he suspects it was anything but pleasant, but given that Auden had invited him over again, then they surely must have sorted out their misfortunes with each other? He hoped they had. The last thing he wanted to get caught up in was some teenage soap opera where he was the oblivious guy who didn't understand anyone or anything that was going on around him because he was so caught out of times. Ha ha.[break][break]

"I hope everything turned out alright after I left." Alexandrei says, and his brows raise slightly at the question Auden next proposes, before replying nonchalantly. "...Sure. I don't mind."

Auden

"Oh." Auden just glanced down to all the sugars that he had given him, realizing that it was a big excessive. "Me? No I... I really don't like coffee. I just assume that people would have to put stuff in it to enjoy it." Ah, was he dissing Alexandrei's tastes? Real smooth Auden, you sure are a good smooth-talker with your crush. Idiot. "I prefer tea."

Looking down to Agnis, he was definitely a particular little fellow. His little top hat was sitting on the table beside the mountain of cream and sugar. "Uh... Yeah.... I think he likes it." Auden wasn't sure what Agnis felt, but he was a happy little fellow most of the time. "It... Well I got a good slap." Auden hadn't done things well with Chloe, but it was safe to say that things between them were over, and that they were best to just remain friends with one another.

"Hm!" He'd prep his notepad, looking to Alexandrei with a gleam of happiness. "Well...I guess I can write down how you like your coffee..." He'd do just that, before looking Alexandrei over. "What is too personal to ask?" He didn't want to scare him away from things after all, and it seemed that may have been best to start off simple "What's your favorite ice cream? Or maybe... Your favorite thing to eat?"

He looks somewhat downcast at that aspect, eyes averted for only but a second before he's back to unconsciously staring at Auden without realising it. He sincerely didn't know what was wrong there, but Alexandrei knew he was somehow the cause of their fallout, whatever relationship that might have been. He considers the situation mentally, taking a step back to evaluate it properly, a mildly puzzled look on his features.[break][break]

Oh yeah. He still didn't get any of it.[break][break]

"Sorry." He eventually says, even though he doesn't know what he's being sorry for. Maybe it's just a natural reaction at this point- apologising to people for inconveniencing them with such a monotonous tone that pissed them off even more, or so that they would leave him alone. "You two seemed close, from what I could tell," he had witnessed that... kiss, after all. "it would be a shame to lose that relationship. Unless..." he considers his options again. "it was something else other than romantic."[break][break]

He loosens his shoulders, willing to be rid of the somewhat tense air that Auden seemed to give off relating to that "incident", and answers his next questions. Oddly enough, although it felt somewhat like an interview, the astronomer felt that he didn't much mind being asked these inquiries- if it had been a journalist, a newscaster, he wouldn't have given them so much as a glance in response to their extremely personal questions. He hums, musing for a moment. "I'll know it when I'm asked it," He replies, leaving Auden open to inquire whatever he desired. "and I'm partial to gelatin, I think. I don't like chicken."[break][break]

He casts a totally not suspicious glance at Agnis.

Auden

Sorry? It felt weird for Alexandrei to say sorry to him, because Alexandrei hadn't seemed like the type to easily talk about his emotions or feelings. "You don't need to be sorry." Auden would push some hair behind his ear, looking to the older man endearingly for a moment. When asked about what he was with Chloe, he wasn't exactly sure. They'd slept together, they'd kissed a lot- what really constituted there relationship down to its core?

The phoenix took a moment, his mouth opening and closing slightly as he tried to piece his thoughts together. "I'm not sure." He muttered, putting his hands together and contemplating how he wanted to tell Alexandrei. "I don't think that we are... Or were, in a relationship. We were just there for each other, and it was easy." It sounded weird to say to him, but it was the truth. "I've always had a complicated relationship with love and lust, and I get them mixed up a lot- it's hard to know when the line needs to be drawn when you're sleeping with someone and spending all your time with them."

He'd pause, putting his head on the back of the couch. "I love him, but not romantically. He's one of my closest friends, and I guess we were, or I thought we were, fuck buddies. I think though, by how he reacted to us being-" Right, Alexandrei and him weren't together "-around each other. I think he fell in love with me." Auden didn't want to sound full of himself, but he knew that sometimes it was hard for people not to.

Looking to Agnis as well when he mentioned chicken, the bird would perk up and flap his wings to Alexandrei, oblivious to what the man had said. "Ah okay okay, how do you like gelatin?" Auden hadn't eaten or indulged in it much, so he was curious on why the star-gazer had chose it above other things. "And well... If we went out to dinner, what would you want to have?" Ah, that was bold.

"Curious." Alexandrei answers, finally showing a sincere emotion; interest. As he folds his arms and leans back with his azure blue eyes flicking from Agnis to Auden, he blinks slowly, trying to discern their relationship. He might be an expert at most other things, but people certainly were not his forte. "I suppose it's natural for humans to have such complex behaviour. You can be certain that they're one thing so vividly, then the next instant they go and break all your expectations." His gaze lands on Auden one final time. "Do you regret what your relationship has become?"[break][break]

Moving on, it seems. "However it's presented." He says. "I might just have a sweet tooth. And... I don't really mind. I'm not partial to anything." He blinks again, and it seems like it's become a customary gesture for when he's trying to figure out anything people-related. "Why? Did you want to go somewhere?"

Auden

Auden knew that the relationships that he had in his life were messy, but it may have been to the fact that he never felt like he understood what a good relationship needed. He gave too much sometimes, and other times he was the one that felt suffocated by how much the other person gave. The give and take of a relationship was one that he had to get used to, and perhaps he gave too much to Chloe initially for him to be so infatuated with him now.

"Yeah... I try to be myself, but sometimes I'm too much myself, and it's infectious." He didn't want to toot his own horn, but he had a lot of people that had become interested in him, or felt that they had the right to claim him because he was a flirty person. Giving Alexandrei's question a thought, Auden's gaze would subside to the right, looking to the rest of his office. "I..I don't think so. I know that it isn't perfect, but there's something nice about the messy nature of our relationship. We are understanding each other on another level, and learning that you can hurt someone and still be friends."

When asked if he wanted to go somewhere, Auden's face would tighten. Yeah, he did want to go somewhere with him; anywhere, really. "I mean, if you're hungry." He didn't want it to be that he was forcing Alex to get up and travel. "Of course, we don't have to right now! We could stay here and pet Agnis all day, all we want." Options was the spice of life or something, right? The last thing he wanted was to bore the dude he was trying to get to know.

Alexandrei frowns. This got more and more confusing the more they talked about it, and it showed by the pout on the astronomer's face, a clear sign that he was having a hard time figuring everything Auden was talking about out. Him trying to understand anything relationship-related was like him taking the final exam for a PhD without having any prior experience in the subject- impossible to comprehend. "I fail to understand any of this," Alexandrei deduces after a moment of hard thinking. "a relationship built on frivolity would eventually lead to one of you leaving the other, correct?" He perches a hand thoughtfully on his chin. "Either way, if you do not commit to the wellbeing of your relationship, you will both get 'hurt.' A hurt relationship is not a healthy one. If you stay as you are, then Chloe will continue to get 'hurt.'" He pauses. "At least, to my understanding, that's a bad thing for both of you."[break][break]

He could say he understood it in the bare minimum of ways. Alexandrei had been in a couple of relationships as well, but he was a wandering soul, and those relationships never lasted long- only long enough to feel what it was like to be in the company of someone else further than friendship. But he had never felt tied down to it. Perhaps, that was what Auden felt with Chloe.[break][break]

"In any case, I do not think I should be giving relationship advice." He adds on. "I am hardly an adequate therapist, but I do not mind you telling me these things should it make you feel better. If you have a café or restaurant in mind, I would be happy to continue our conversation there." He stands and heads towards the door, glancing back at Auden, then at Agnis. "I suppose we can only hope that any of the places we visit allow companions."

Auden

Auden frowned too, realizing that confusing him with things that he didn't understand wasn't going to get them anywhere. Alexandrei hadn't had the same experiences that he'd had, so explaining it as if he'd know and knowledge it was just going to lead to confusion. "I guess so. I try not to make a habit of it." It was a temporary thing since he could feel that his heart was already pulling him to want more, and to want harder. His eyes would glimmer over to Alexandrei, wondering how much it would take for him to notice, and if it was worth it for him to notice. I'm probably not the right one for him anyways. The thoughts swirled in his head and made him feel insecure about his own heart.

"I've... We have made up now. It was a miscommunication because he was in love with me, and I like someone else right now." These words were said as Auden looked away from the star gazer, unable to contain his emotions if he just so happened to look towards him. "I-It's over between the two of us, don't worry." That was a definite, because he wanted nothing more than to prove that he was worth something worthwhile and long-lasting.


"Sorry, yeah." Auden waved his hand in front of his face, huffing at the fact that he'd just ranted to someone that really didn't need to hear it. Telling your crush about your shitty love life wasn't on his bucket list. Looking over to Agnis, he'd peep a bit and fly behind Alexandrei as they all started to move towards the door. "Hm... If they don't then I can have Felix come to get him." Looking down to his phone, he'd show Alexandrei an option; a small sushi joint that was pretty close to his agency. "Is this... Satisfactory for you?" Whether or not it was, he'd grab a coat and open the door for both of them. "We can walk if you're okay with that." Putting his hands into his pockets to avoid the temptation of holding his hand, Auden would push the main doors of his building and let the crisp air hit him.

There's that at least. Alexandrei thinks he feels some mirth when Auden says that they have reconciled, but he can't deny that it seems like there's still a bit of leftover bitterness in the phoenix's tone, like drinking your coffee and accidentally consuming all the dregs at the bottom. But, it wasn't any of his business— the astronomer thought he had done enough by listening, at most. "Who do you like now?" He asks, letting his curiousity get the better of him, stopping and setting his azure-blue gaze on him. "You don't need to answer if it makes you uncomfortable, though."[break][break]

Regardless of Auden's answer, he keeps moving with Auden through the building, occasionally looking back at Agnis to make sure the little dove was keeping up. What an endearing creature. [break][break]

He nods when he sees the sushi joint Auden shows him. "I'm fine with wherever." He replies. The instant they're outside, he takes little comfort in the spring air that graces them, with the wild daisies that spring out of the pavement— it would have been enjoyable, but he does notice the omnipresent feeling of the public's eyes on them. It doesn't show on his face, but Alexandrei does momentarily stutter in his step before he keeps moving, hesitant. He doesn't know how anyone can handle being famous. It must be exhausting for Auden. "Which way next?" He asks after a bout of silence.

Auden

Who did he like? Auden stared at him, dumbfounded, as he tried not to break down into hysterical laughter. Who did it fucking like? Was that a joke? Was Alexandrei trying to get him to confess so that he could make fun of him smooching on Chloe while he liked Alex? The whole process of him asking made Auden a bit bitter; if Alexandrei was interested, he should just say it so that Auden didn't have to be the one to be so bold about it! With the interactions that they'd had though, and how innocent Alexandrei seemed with romance, Auden doubted it. Even if he did have feelings for him, there was no telling if they were in the same frame of mind as him; Auden wanted them to make out and hold hands and go on do all the sappy things that couples were supposed to do.

"Isn't it fuckin' obvious who I like, Alex?" His eyes were narrow, spiteful, before he would sigh it off and leave the establishment with Alexandrei. Under his breath, he'd say a small statement to try to clarify his feelings. "Seriously, who else do I spend my time with, and want to be around?" Auden would shake his head in disbelief, unsure if even that would get through to him. Would it be better to just say it aloud, to admit it outright? It seemed so embarrassing, and knowing that Alexandrei probably wouldn't understand made him realize that maybe it was fruitless.

"Do you like anyone?" Auden would retort back after nodding along at the idea of getting sushi. He'd reply with that rather than telling him what direction to go, and instead showed with his sudden movement to the right and down a more populated street. "I mean, you're so handsome that I'm sure you... Have people that would like you." Another obvious hint, and for the first time in a few minutes he'd look over to Alexandrei. "What do you want in a partner?" With hopeful eyes as the rage had subsided, he wanted to know what Alexandrei wanted in not only him, but perhaps some random person he didn't know of that was getting is attention and affection.

After a bit more time passed, he'd stop at the entrance of the sushi place, eyes tracing up to the logo of the shop. "You still hungry?" Perhaps the mood was soured by their conversation, or even by the fact that people started to stare when they approached. "Omg, is that Auden? Who's the hunk?" Some girl whispered under her breath, the sushi in between her chopsticks slowly sliding out in the awe that she saw. Auden would roll his eyes and go inside anyways, getting them a table and once again sitting outside like they had when going to Chloe's shop. Sitting down, Auden would sigh and sink into the chair, trying not to look directly at Alexandrei or the small mass of fans looking in his direct. "...Thought you'd enjoy being outside, for Agnis too." The pigeon would still be propped on Alexandrei's shoulder, but seeing how upset Auden was, he'd slowly start to flutter over to his owner.
