Hello! I love your writing sm <3
Could I request General!Lilia with that one military graduation tradition where the soldiers are required to stand still and wait for a loved one to touch them so they can move?
Idk if you know what I'm talking about but like here's an example: https://youtube.com/shorts/2142YOyLS8M?si=0xV64So-Sl_YtVSL
Remember to take care of yourself, drink lots and eat lots so you can stay healthy š«¶
General!Liliaās spent his entire deployment thinking of you at home,, How you may want to remarry, and if you havenāt thought of it already you definitely will once you see him. Heās not the same man you married, and he just barely has the courage to admit to himself it scares him- More than any humans or the senate. The thought of you leaving him is terrifying, but heād understand in the end. Heās been turned into a monster.
General!Lilia that keeps your clothing in pristine condition his entire deployment despite being filthy himself. Youāve done the charity of sending him the blanket from your wedding bed, a couple socks, and the bane of his existence. Your favourite night shirt. He deludes himself to think still smells of you after months of use- It reeks of the outdoors and his sweat and tears, but heās never failed to bury his nose in it and feel all giddy.. You cared enough to send these mundanities to him, and theyāre his greatest treasures. His last (sleeping) night on duty is spent wearing your socks in your shirt wrapped up snug in your blanket. More than anything, they give him strength.
General!Liliaās lost so much. His troops and friends, his princess, his morals,, His tap outās done alone, in a field untouched by the war. A pessimistic, realist part of himās convinced that youāll never come, that he deserves to rot in this field. If you were to abandon him here, he wouldnāt make it out alive. Not because itās particularly dangerous,, But because heād wait as long as it takes for you to be with him again- Even if youāre no longer āhisā.
General!Lilia doesnāt blame the hypothetical you in his head for scorning him- Actually, he thinks you arenāt being harsh enough. He hasnāt earned a kiss or gentle touch, he doesnāt deserve your tender affections anymore. Your husbandās a failure. But he can admit heās good enough to have stayed loyal at least,, No town flowerās tempted him, nor alley specials for soldiers. Heās never considered himself the romantic altruist type, but if you are to hate him, to leave or slander him, he just wants to look at you one last time. Then he wouldnāt have to worry if heās failed so miserably that even you fell to the conflict.
When you appear out of the thicket, unmarred by the battle and even looking concerned for him, itās a massive weight off Liliaās shoulders. The time you take running across the field feels like a lifetime. You look the same as when he left for war.. You know nothing of the things heās done, the things he canāt undo. He is not the man you knew. He briefly thinks of flying off- Heās had no difficulty when breaking the rules before, so whatās the difference? Heās sure youād be better off without him. Thereās a barely audible thunk against the metal of his armour when your arms are thrown around his neck, hurriedly removing the bloody mask he wears to see his face again. To see your Lilia safe and sound. Once all the pressureās released, he wants to deflate, wants to collapse in your arms and weep and kiss and love you again despite the angry, violent thing heās become,, He settles for hugging you back. He can feel you cry at seeing him so defeated, hear your heart race and smell your smell (The shirt doesnāt do you justice). He allows himself to breathe you in. Itās time to go home <3
