I HATE YOU I LOVE YOU

Merlin clung to Hesekiel gayly, panting.

"Stupid...I was supposed to top!..."

He looked at him innocently.

"Were you? Really?"

He attacked Hesekiel's neck, biting him gently to show his displeasure.

"You're lucky it was fucking amazing, dammit..."

"It...was?" He seemed skeptical, for a lot of reasons.

He nodded.

"Didn't I just say it was?...If you're trying to rub it in, I won't cuddle with you."

He shook his head.

"No, I want to cuddle, I believe you."

"Good~" he purred, running his hands over Hesekiel's chest. "We can cuddle now--I'm satisfied~"

Hesekiel snuggled up to him.

"Good. I like cuddling."

Merlin nuzzled him affectionately, squeezing him.

"What, you don't enjoy sex?"

"Cuddling is better." He insisted. "...It's more affectionate."

Merlin laughed.

"How...cute. Cuddling is for when I'm too tired to fuck."

He sighed slightly.

"...I know."

"Treat me better and I might just come to like it, though--I always let my favorites cuddle."

"...I find it difficult to get along with you, sometimes."

He raised an eyebrow, pausing.

"Why? I don't ask for much--only what I deserve. Which is your complete devotion and all of your attention."

"...Exactly."

He pouted.

"Are you suggesting I'm not worth it?"

He shook his head.

"I just find it hard to get along with you sometimes."

"I feel the same about you," he replied. "All the time--you seem to go out of your way to spite me."

"I do." He replied truthfully.

"Well, why?!" he exclaimed irritably. "I thought you like me."

"...I do." He said, as it was obvious.

"Then why wouldn't you do everything in your power to please me?" he asked, pouting. "That's what lovers do."

"Are you going to do the same for me?"
