Wyn

[drfeelbad]

"Wyn?" House stopped him in the hallway. "You have a minute?"

Part of him wanted to wait until he had more answers to talk to Wyn about the tests he'd been doing, but hee probably deserved to stay informed.

Comments

[drfeelbad]

Yes. Yes, it would.

"I thought it would be inappropriate for me to suggest that," House said, clearing his throat.

[prince_of_nymphs]

"Why? It's for science," Wyn shrugged, giggling just a little. "The only fun part, probably."

[drfeelbad]

House thought of Alwyn... well, propositioning him. Sort of. And it was inappropriate. Even though House knew that most of the faculty didn't care, and a significant amount did the same thing. Including, he had an inkling, the new headmaster. But strangely enough, another thought he'd had was - would Wyn care? Which was ridiculous, because why would he. And it was also ridiculous that Alwyn would want -

"Why ah, why don't we stand," he said, because he couldn't imagine a non-awkward way to kiss sitting in these chairs. Unless Wyn climbed onto his lap. Which... well. House to to his feet.

[prince_of_nymphs]

Wyn nodded, then stood. He was a petite little thing, much shorter than his brother, narrowly built and noticeably underweight.

"You look nervous," he noted. "If you're uncomfortable, we don't have to. I don't mind finding Hex..."

[drfeelbad]

House kissed him, before he finished the sentence, and before House lost his nerve.

It was for science, he told himself. It had to be real or it wouldn't work. He put a hand at the back of Wyn's head, fingers curling into his hair, and really kissed him.

For science.

[prince_of_nymphs]

Wyn gasped into the kiss, pulse fluttering a little as he leaned in to return it properly.

You know, for science.

[drfeelbad]

House knew he should stop. That was enough, right? Once he heard that little gasp. But when he heard the little gasp it also made him want to deepen the kiss, to bring a hand to Wyn's face to stroke his cheek. And he made a little growling sound of pleasure in the back of his throat.

[prince_of_nymphs]

It was nice, the way House touched him, the sounds he made, the slight scratch of stubble- Guilt hit swiftly and suddenly, and Wyn looked embarrassed as he drew away.

[drfeelbad]

House blinked as if coming out of a daze. His eyes met Wyn's for a moment, and then he looked down, put his hand over the patch on his heart again, and murmured the spell.

[prince_of_nymphs]

Wyn's heart was beating swiftly, and he was struggling to keep his pheromones in check as he fidgeted awkwardly and let Greg work.

[drfeelbad]

House got the data he needed, immediately noting the difference. He didn't move his hand away right away. "I'm sorry, maybe I went too far." Fuck but he wanted to go farther.

[prince_of_nymphs]

"No- No, it's okay," Wyn assured him, still looking embarrassed by his own behavior. "It was nice."

[drfeelbad]

"It was..." House continued to meet his gaze for a moment, and then looked away.

[prince_of_nymphs]

Wyn nodded awkwardly.

"Um, so- what do the readings tell you?" he asked finally, hoping to make it all less awkward.

[drfeelbad]

"They're different," House said, and sat back down. Crossed his legs. Because he wasn't sure if his partial erection was visible but he didn't want to take the chance.

"That's good. Means it works. I want you to keep a log, just for a few days. Time, duration, intensity. I can match it to the readings after."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"Sure," Wyn nodded, fidgeting a little. "I can do that."

[drfeelbad]

"You don't have to... provide me with more detail than you're comfortable with," House added hastily.

[prince_of_nymphs]

"I don't mind sharing whatever you want to know," Wyn assured him.

[drfeelbad]

He didn't really want to know anything, when it came to Wyn's sex life. Like who the other person he was fucking was.

"I don't need specifics," he said.

[prince_of_nymphs]

"Okay," Wyn nodded, offering another smile.

[drfeelbad]

House sat back down in his chair and then said, "How... are you?" Because he actually did care.

[prince_of_nymphs]

"Fine," Wyn replied instantly, because that was always his answer. He was always fine.

"My leg seems to have healed, so... It's fine."

[drfeelbad]

"I wasn't concerned about your leg," House said. Okay, well if Wyn didn't want to talk about his trauma, which was understandable: "Like how are things going with your brother being here?"

[prince_of_nymphs]

"Oh, Alwyn... It's fine. I didn't expect him to come see me, or to take the school's invitation to study here. He's never shown any interest in humans before really."

Truthfully, Wyn wasn't sure what to make of his brother's presence.

"He's always been very proud of his fae heritage."

[drfeelbad]

"He seems to really care about you," House offered.
