Lucanis Dellamorte has spent his life mastering control.

His blade. His emotions. His desires. But Rook has a way of unraveling every carefully constructed wall. A story of coffee, jealousy, tenderness, and a man who never expected to be loved.

They talk over coffee like it’s nothing. Then she says his name. Not his. And Lucanis understands jealousy far too quickly. But love… takes longer.

Rook, as a girl, had once found herself faintly charmed by Illario—an impression that had come and gone in her youth like something fleeting and harmless. And Lucanis… inexperienced in matters of love, was clumsy even with jealousy itself. He didn’t know how to hold it, how to shape it, or how to hide it properly. To him, this one-sided affection remained invisible to her. She still hadn’t noticed.

This is a soft fanfiction to polish up the romance that felt a little lacking in the game. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love that Lucanis’s first kiss is right before the final battle... but shouldn't a first kiss have a much more special reaction from both Lucanis and Rook?
