Starter for @happiestterencegold

Mirage had been keeping tabs on certain people around town for some time, at the request of her employer and through research of her own. Her ears were certainly listening in on conversations tonight at Evangeline's, even if she was trying to enjoy the festivities and fancy cocktails. She approached Terence discretely, under the guise of friendly, curious conversation. "I must say, you've sparked my curiosity... what are you looking to cure? The common cold?"

[happiestterencegold-archive]

Terence didn't know what to say, he didn't because a part of him like to think of it as a common cold but he knew better. He knew that this was something greater than anyone would think of it was poison it was something dark something unforgivable. So he sat and he looked at the other with a broken smile on his features, shook his head and whispered: "I'm going to fix what almost killed my boyfriend."

Henrik didn't deserve what happened to him no one did not Adam not that poor couple that died on Valentine's Day whoever did this terence was going to make them pay.

So he was going to make an antidote it would take a while and he wouldn't need someone to provide him the blood samples of the people that were poisoned.

He wasn't naive. He knew that this needed to be solved, so why wouldn't someone with intellectual and chemistry backgrounds be able to fix it?

[henrikhera]

to say henrik was confused was an understatement. his head hurt and he felt like someone had dropped a house on him. his body screamed in aches. there was clearly some sort of commotion going on around him but he wasn't coherent enough to gather that.

henrik blinked a few times to allow his eyes to come back into focus when his gaze landed on terence. "terence?" he mumbled, his voice octaves lower than usual from not speaking.

"wh-what happened?"

[happiestterencegold-archive]

Terence felt a sharp intake of breath, a mixture of surprise and concern, as Henrik inquired about what had transpired. His mind raced as he tried to find the right words to convey the distressing news. He hesitated for a moment before deciding how to articulate the information about his cherished lover's mistreatment.

"You've been afflicted by a perplexing ailment that has also impacted others, including Adam," Terence explained, his voice tinged with worry. "We suspect it could be due to ingestion, perhaps a bacterial infection or poisoning."

He looked directly at Henrik, his eyes reflecting his palpable concern. "Are you experiencing any discomfort? Can I fetch you anything to help ease your symptoms?"

[henrikhera]

not much was remembered by henrik. the last thing he remembered was going about his usual day and coming down with some flu. the flu was the worst one he'd ever had, so much so he spent days holed up in his house and tried to fight it off. that was it. that was the last thing he really remembered from the whole thing.

odd dreams and high fevers were intertwined in his brain. the came in waves, they came in tsunamis.

his body ached and his skin screamed in agony. his eyes burning when they took in light for the first time in thirty-two days. while the nurses did their jobs tending to him, doctors came in to give henrik a check over and gave henrik some sunglasses to wear to allow his eyes time to adjust to the harsh hospital lighting. his head felt fuzzy, nothing quite clicked together the way it should. something felt off. then the news came. he was poisoned, and he was poisoned in an aggressive manner. had henrik kept up whatever was poisoning him he very likely wouldn't have been in the bed waking up, it was a stroke of luck that he had apparently passed out before taking whatever it was that was there to wipe him out.

"wh-what day is it?"

[happiestterencegold-archive]

Terence was connected to a beeping machine when Henrik woke up, he didn't take his boyfriend's coma too well, and he had to fight tooth and nail (meaning Henrik's parents) to stay by his side, he was his significant other he wasn't going anywhere. Even if it'll kill him he would be with Henrik when he woke up.

So when he heard his beloved voice, his machine made an alarming sound and doctors rushed to see what the cause was. "Lemme go, he's awake," Terence uttered tired and upset.

Which caused the doctors to leave Terence and Henrik, at least for now.

"Hey babe," Terence said with an overjoyed but tired smile. "It's been a few days, yes." He softly brushed his hero's hair to the side and kissed his forehead. "But you are awake and that's all that matters."

[henrikhera]

so this is what pure love felt like. that unfiltered adoration of someone. terence was always thoughtful to reassure him whenever he told him about his feelings and while henrik did believe him, there was always that flicker of his parents voices in his head. however, after the night previous, henrik knew that the love he had for terence was solid and ran deep to his bones.

henrik let out a laugh. terence had been plenty patient and henrik had sure as hell made up for making terence wait so long. "i love you, drool and all" he grinned

he could tell that the question meant a lot for terence, his vulnerability laid out on the table. henrik placed a hand on his boyfriends cheek and gave him a deep kiss "you'll always have me." he answered "it's you and me." he'd be by terence's side for as long as terence wanted him there.

"you've given me all of that and more." he really wanted terence to see that. he gave terence's hand a squeeze "my parents aren't important to me, you are. they can disapprove all they want but it won't change anything or how i feel about you"

[happiestterencegold-archive]

there was something so soft and tingly (and no it wasn't Terence raging hormones for his boyfriend for once) no it was the sweet sensation of love and understanding that Henrik loved him as much as he loved Henrik. After their special night well, Terence knew that things had changed between them and it was a good change, their relationship was solid and lasting.

"Excuse me but i'm pretty sure that drool is half yours after tonight." Terence teased.

Terence nodded, he felt so cherished and protected by Henrik, he couldn't think of what he could offer the guy after receiving so much more. "It's you and me." He agreed.

"i know, i just wished we had better parents. The ones that actually saw us for who we are." He sighed. his lips curled into a smile after. "But as long as I can see you for who you are, and we stay together I'm certain nothing can stand in our way."

[happiestterencegold-archive]

"How much help with cleaning will you need, I can stay behind." He muttered. "Glad you like the cake at least." He scratched his neck awkwardly. "Okay birthday girl - I'm going to look for my boyfriend, will you manage?"

[imsorryibityoux]

"I'm not thinking about that, ATM. Love it! Thank you so much again!" Lilo beamed. There was so much to unpack in this moment. Like, everyone really was at this party (Henrik Hera included!?)! The gifts were getting more and more, and-- CRASH! "That did not sound cool. Um, yeah. Totally. I'm a walking coping mechanism. Have fun!" She waggled her fingers for extra effect before spinning away.

THATS MY MAN!!!!

[imsorryibityoux]

"Really? I mean, thank you! It's definitely, um, almost exactly what I was going for!" If you didn't count all the uninvited guests but Lilo was happy not to. "Travis Montgomery? Oh! Shit, I did know that. I was supposed to bring him back a wrench or something... He seems fine though, right? Buttercream with strawberries? I love it!! Thank you, Terence. You're the literal best."

[happiestterencegold-archive]

"How much help with cleaning will you need, I can stay behind." He muttered. "Glad you like the cake at least." He scratched his neck awkwardly. "Okay birthday girl - I'm going to look for my boyfriend, will you manage?"

Terence: if lottie ends up liking Travis, well-....

Terence: I'm team lottie

[henrikhera]

he had no doubt in saying he loved terence, but there was some part of him that felt closer to him after their night. there was nothing to hide and any remaining walls he had built up in his head were gone. there was peace. he didn't care about the worries about what his parents would think, it didn't matter, terence mattered.

"i love you" he repeated, pressing his lips to terence's again "i could get used to waking up to you all the time"

[happiestterencegold-archive]

It should be illegal to have this many butterflies, surely this much love wasn't allowed. Well if he had to believe Henrik's parents it really wasn't allowed, but hey were either boys gonna listen? nope.

"Oh I think you showed that yesterday plenty enough." Terence giggled as he moved in bed, stretching his toes. "You really do love me if you want to wake up next to this drooling face." Then again, Terence did sneak some glances when Henrik was still asleep.

"I know it's a little late to say this but- thank you for accepting me." It was a thing Terence couldn't really explain, when you are told you don't deserve certain things for years well its hard not to believe it. HIs foster family had kicked him out when he came out of the closet, so it had been him alone against the world. And for a long time Terence believed that was exactly what he had deserved.

"Do you uhm-" Again the shyness overtook Terence but it was an important question to ask. "Can you be-" He groaned inside the pillow as he struggled for words.

"Will you be my family?" He finally managed to ask, in a switch he got nervous and started fidgeting with the skin of his fingers. it wasn't like he proposed to Henrik (they were just beginning their story after all) but for a boy who never had a family, he wanted Henrik to be part of his.

awkward. AWKWARD.

He always had to make things awkward, but boy did he love this man next to him. So much he didn't want to think of a world where they wouldn't be together.

He wrapped his hand around Henrik's hand and smiled. "I just want to give you something your parents didn't. Love. Peace. Protection. Care." And in return he wished for the same. Because all of those things he felt now with Henrik next to him.

[henrikhera]

henrik laughed at his admission and ran a hand through terence's hair "as much as i'm flattered that you saw me as your biggest wet dream, i much prefer actually being here with you" he smiled and pressed his lips to terences.

"you never have to apologise for talking, terence. you know that" he encouraged. henrik hated that terence felt the need to apologise all the time, he hated thinking of what terence had to endure that had drilled such a habit into him. he wanted terence happy and safe.

it did warm his heart to hear his other half say that he was happy and that reassurance of love still being present. "terence, i love you. i'm not going anywhere other than where you are. alright?" henrik kissed him again, taking his opportunity to deepen it when the time was right.

[happiestterencegold-archive]

Terence gleamed, he leaned into the touch of Henrik's caress of his hair and chuckled. "Well, I can't help that one of us is the shape of a roman statue, and I'm actually meaning the sexy ones."

"I know, just warn me when it starts to get annoying - I'll understand." His parents didn't let him speak, he was a know-it-all (well not that difficult if your IQ is 100 times higher than your parents), and therefor he shouldn't speak. He knew what he did was wrong, but doing wrong things earned him food - and he often went without.

He curled into Henrik's arms as he melted into the kiss, everything was perfect. Though a little voice in his head nagged him that it was too perfect, he was being too happy and that could only lead to bad things. But as Henrik deepened the kiss those thoughts faded, and just like that morning arrived, and the two lovely lovelies woke up in bed, Terence snoring loudly which only showed how safe he felt.

It was in Henrik's arms he found happiness. And it was Henrik's arms he wanted to be in forever.

[imsorryibityoux]

"It is!? Well! Iiiiiii might have a few tips on what not to do," Lilo laughed, finishing off what was in her novelty mug before grinning at Terence. She lowered her voice then- "Who the hell's under the sin-- OH! Is that a birthday cake? For me?"

[happiestterencegold-archive]

Terence nodded. "Yeah, it really is quite the party Lilo." Terence laughed wryly. "Travis, And yes, buttercream with strawberries, I hope you like it."

[henrikhera]

the reassurance from terence that henrik wouldn't disappoint him did help ease his mind. "i'm nervous too but let''s not overthink this" he didn't want terence or himself getting stressed out. "water is fine." he had had beer when they were at the party and he was over drinking for the evening.

"i need you to know that i'm not going to run from you. i get that it's different but that's not going to make me run"

[happiestterencegold-archive]

Terence gave a long look at Henrik, checking if the boy was certain in what they were going to do.

He nodded, went to get a drink for the both of them, and put his own beverage down, so he could take a seat in the couch. "You know, it's funny-" He said softly. "If you would ask me if we would be together four years ago, I'd probably laugh it off and call it my biggest wet dream." He snickered a little bit, but he was feeling a bit shy to admit his desires to Henrik.

"Don't get me wrong, I love us together, I love you with all of me - but I hate to admit that I just never expected you to like me back and - And I'm rambling again. Sorry dumb habit of mine." He apologized before itching closer to Henrik.

"I just need you to know how happy you make me, because I love you so much Henrik, I just cannot believe I get to spend my time with you, and I secretly look forward to waking up next to you after all this." He winked.

"You know I think you should kiss me to make me shut up because I feel if you don't I won't shut up for hours."

[henrikhera]

henrik laughed at the promised of being seduced by his other half’s dance moves. he had to admit, the dance moves were solid. it was nice to be able to go to a night out and not have the stress of life on his shoulders even if it was only for the briefest of moments.

“you’re right, your moves have well and truly seduced me”

[happiestterencegold-archive]

Terence beamed, of course his superior moves had seduced his boyfriend, after all he loved him, and he loved Henrik. There was little care in this world of what people thought about the two boys together (he was going to win over Henrik's mother one day) and Zeus, Zeus was a prick, but he was Henrik's father, so he did care a little bit of what the man thought of him. It did help that he was a stockholder of the company Zeus created, but no one needed to know that including Zeus.

And unlike Zeus, Terence would never cheat, and he had high confidence that Henrik wouldn't cheat either. Sure there was the irrational fear of having coitus with Henrik where he would run the moment he touched him (below the belt that is), though it should be normal for lovers to you know - want to touch each other right? Well, if Henrik ended up being Asexual, Terence would certainly adapt - he loved the guy to bits and was not going to run away from him due to some minor setbacks.

"Well, what can I say, I got the moves, and I'm not afraid to use them." With that, he put his arms around Henrik and kissed his cheek. That should be enough public affection. Not that Terence didn't want to be more affectionate in public, he just knew that Henrik's image was still important to him and his family. That and playing secret lovers came with a type of thrill he wasn't going to throw away soon. If Henrik however wanted to steal his lips for a brief moment, well - Terence certainly wouldn't say no to that.

-

Time was ticking forward and the party was coming to an end, when Terence wrapped his arm around Henrik's hip and said: "Are we still going to my place?"
