"...you're cute." 

Asher scoops Sasha up in his arms. "Because I was like 'maybe I can hurt anybody who hurts Sasha, and then Marlo wouldn't have to be in confusing situations' but I think judging by what I thought when I was human that would not help."

He holds on to Asher. "I imagine that would not help, no." 

Asher carries him outside the house and then starts to run. The houses blur. "Vampire transit!"

"So cute." 

"Not as cute as you!"

"I don't know," he says, but doesn't kiss him until they're at Asher's house. 

He liked being pinned against the wall when he was hypnotized, does he like it now?

(Things Sasha might notice about Asher's house now that he's less hypnotized: It's big, especially for a single person. Almost every wall is covered with bookshelves. There's a barre and a mirror in the living room. The kitchen features a really nice tea set.)

He does like getting pinned against the wall. 

"So vampires do show up in mirrors, then?" 

"Yep. If we didn't, my hair would look way less nice."

Sasha laughs and kisses him again. 

Asher kisses him thoroughly, holding his wrists against the wall.

He relaxes by fractions until he's being held up more by Asher's hold than his own legs. 

Asher lifts him up. "Do you dance?"

Asher is so strong and so good and

"No?" 

In a single movement Asher lifts him up so he's sitting on Asher's shoulder.

"Want to start?"

"— I think I'd rather make out with you honestly." 

And he's pinned against the wall again. "I'm accommodating."

A soft noise. "I'm — glad —" 

Asher kisses him. "Gorgeous boy."

A sigh. "Mm. Your boy." 

Asher puts a hand in his hair and pulls. "Explicit consent," he says. "So your boyfriend doesn't torture me."

"Please fuck me." 

And he does!
