Could you maybe do number 1 from the smut prompts🥺🥺🥺
[Okay so this isn’t going into real smut territory cause brain... decided it didn’t want to figure that out haha. It’s just gonna be fluff, I’m sorry. I’m also combining it with an IM request I got from @coraldinosaurcollectionus for #27 for ‘eskel and the small twig’... rofl.
So 1. “We’re in public, you know.” & 27. “Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?”
Set in the Cafe AU I share with @resonatingfern that we’ve just started to pop these two into as well - Lei is a police officer/investigator, and Eskel is a farmer/rancher that supplies the cafe etc with fresh supplies.]
It’s been a long, long day.
A day of misfiled reports, unhelpful witnesses, and zero actual clues to help her with her current case. Honestly, she’s not sure why she’d bothered getting out of bed this morning, considering how everything has played out since then.
The moment Lei steps into the Choya Cafe, however, she takes that thought back - this is why she’d gotten out of bed, this morning. Her now-weekly meetup with Eskel, on a night that Amwyl can stay with the twins and allow the Norn some time alone.
She spots him easily, sitting at the back as he always is - a set of plushy armchairs claimed for their little date, two coffees set on the table before him.
Always on time, always thoughtful.
“Eskel!” Lei waves at Laurent at the counter as she makes her way over, mirroring the Norn’s smile, “Sorry I’m late. It’s been a hell of a day.”
“Not to worry.” Eskel smiles as he stands, wrapping an arm around her in a tight hug, and Lei feels all her worries start to melt away.
Then he pauses, chuckling - seemingly at nothing, but the sound is mirthful enough to have her pulling back and squinting.
“Not to sound terribly corny,” Eskel grins, eyes bright, “But is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me?”
She takes a minute to figure out what he’s talking about before registering where his hand is resting - on her hip, touching the concealed holster.
Lei let’s out a laugh of her own. “That is, in fact, a gun.” She tilts her head back, eyes narrowed in invitation, “Though I am pleased to see you, Eskel.”
Eskel only chuckles again, accepting the invitation - bending to kiss her, much more gently then she’d like, a fleeting touch that leaves her wanting more.
“Tease.” she grumbles, smiling despite her tone.
“We are in public, you know.” he grins back, brushing another faint kiss over her forehead before retreating to his seat, “Time for that later, Leilani. Come, tell me about your day.”
“If I must.” Lei sighs, but she’s grinning all the while, already thinking of things to do once later has come.
