✘ from Hiskoris
✘ = hugging them
Rhaxis heard him coming, but he pretended like he didn't. The footsteps were much heavier than most of the other Kings, a noticeable and familiar sound as the Kell entered the room, however much Hiskoris tried to be quiet as he did so.
He didn’t stop what he was doing right away, his hands working skillfully as they organized the vials of ether he had gained. Tomorrow, the majority of it would have to go out into the House, separated between their members to keep them alive and well. Their Prime could be considered generous, and between its blessings and the ether provided by the smaller servitors, the House of Kings had a steady supply of the precious ether they needed.
The steps grew barely louder, until Rhaxis could feel the Kell’s looming presence right behind him. He pulled his head up and his hands back from his task just in time to feel the arms wrap around him from behind, both Hiskoris’ primaries and secondaries, coming to hold him tightly.
Even now, years and years after they’d become mates, Rhaxis could feel the warmth in his cheeks from the touch.
“What can I do for you, my Kell?” His words come quietly, though he feels like he already knows the answer. It was already late, many already tucked away in their rooms for the night. The reasons that Hiskoris would come see him at this hour were few.
The Archon felt a chin rest on the top of his head, before he heard the low voice tease.
“Stay with me tonight.” To the point, and yet, still enough to cause an embarrassing shiver to pass through Rhaxis’ body.
He tried to compose himself, though he wouldn’t doubt that his kell took note of the shiver either way. Rhaxis moved his hands forward, closing the containers that held the supplies of ether, pulling hands back once everything was secured.
He shifted under Hiskoris’ touch, turning his body around. The grip on him loosened but didn’t disappear completely, hands resting on his side and his hips as he looked up at the older eliksni, a gentle purr rolling from his throat.
“As you wish.”
