The door opens slowly with a soft creak, as Ashaf joins you on the balcony.
"I heard her yelling, and crashing noises.. what did you do this time?" You asked quietly, raising an eyebrow.
He leans on the railing next to you, and lights up a cigarette, taking a puff of it.
"I didn't heal her wounds completely. But that's for her own safety. You know that.." He replied.
You just nodded in response, and turned you gaze back to the view outside.
It's late at night, there are only a few lights coming from the buildings around, a few cars passing on the road, it was quiet.
Ashaf didn't say a word, yet.
He glanced at you once or twice, he knows that something's wrong.
"Wanna talk about it..?" He asks with his usual silly smile, but you can hear the softness of his tone, and concern in his voice.
You looked at him for a second before looking down again.
You know damn well that brushing it off or saying anything like "idk what are u talking about" won't work.
"Nope.." You let out a soft breath, barely noticeable.
"Expectable." He muses, taking another drag of his cigarette.
"You always do that. You're hurting me, [Name]." He smiles as he looks at you, noticing that you're not planning to face him.
His voice sounds as he's mocking or teasing you, messing around, typical Ashaf. But the concern was still evident in his voice.
You frowned slightly, not out of anger or annoyance, it was more like -_-
"Are you serious right now..?" Referring to his dramatic tone.
He chuckled softly at your words.
"You're so mean."
Silence settled the air. It was comfortable and intense at the same time.
He knows that you won't talk about it.
He broke the silence.
"How can a person be so stubborn.." He puts on a relaxed expression.
"I'm starting to lose hope."
He's teasing you.
You ignored him.
*ೃ༄
"Told you many times, don't rush." He chided you for hurting yourself again.
He crouched down next to you, and began to use his magic to heal your wounds.
You leaned your head back on the wall behind you, and let out a sigh.
"Impressive.." He smiled at you.
You looked at him, noticing the usual silly smile on his face.
"What...?" You raised an eyebrow.
"Nothing. It's just that you didn't protest this time." There's a hint of teasing in his voice.
"Ugh.." You groaned, and rolled your eyes.
He chuckled softly at your reaction.
"That's a progress."
"Shut up, please.."
*ೃ༄
"Can't sleep..?"
You hear Ashaf's voice, as he steps in the room, where you were sitting on the couch, staring at the fireplace in front of you.
"Yeah.." You spoke quietly.
He took a seat beside you, and leaned back, making himself comfortable.
Silence filled the room.
Now there was too much tension.
"Can you not keep silent? Say something.." You said with a small frown, your heart was beating a little faster now.
He let out a soft chuckle.
"Really now? And, what would you like to hear, my dear?" He's teasing you again, but there's a hint of sincerity in his voice. He wasn't just messing with you when he called you "dear".
You avoided his gaze.
"Anything.. just don't stop talking.." You mumbled.
His expression changed a bit.
"Hey, are you okay..?" He leans a little closer, and tilts his head to take a better look at your face.
"I'd be lying if I say no.." You replied in a lower tone.
He smiled warmly at you.
He's always happy when you open up to him, even just a little bit.
He scooted closer, his thigh brushed against yours, but you didn't move away.
"Do you want to talk about it?" He asks you with a gentle look in his eyes.
You shook your head, barely holding back your tears.
It made his heart ache.
He wanted to hug you, or at least hold your hand, but he held back.
He simply stroked a strand of your hair behind your ear, his fingers gently brushing your skin.
"[Name].."
His voice was softer than usual, filled with concern and compassion.
You turned your gaze to him, but you looked down again in a few seconds.
His heart skipped a beat. You looked too cute right now..
He smiled gently, and opened his arms for you.
It's not like you had any other choice, besides, you really needed a hug right now..
He wrapped his arms around you tightly at the moment you leaned against his chest.
His familiar scent filled your nostrils, you can hear his heartbeats, you can feel the rise and fall of his chest with each breath he takes, and the warmth of his embrace.
You relaxed easily, your eyes are closing slowly.
Now you really want to sleep..
He looked down at you, fallen asleep in his arms, your cheek pressed against his chest..
It made him smile warmly.
He planted a soft kiss on top of your head, and picked you up carefully, heading to your bedroom.
He laid you on your bed, and covered you with the blanket. He leaned closer, and pressed another kiss on your forehead.
"Sleep well, my beloved.." He whispered softly.
I need a pro writer to start writing fics for this man :/
Been working on this one for a week now, if not more :'D
Witch and the Beast, like Witch Hat Atelier, ofc caught my attention just by having "witch" in the title. And just like WHA I never regretted that choice even if the fans seem to be tiny in numbers
That being said even if the fandom is small or just very quiet I will fight anyone who only ever shows of Guideau's (fucking french why are you so hard to spell) witch body. Don't be a coward. Show everyone the beast body too. Especially the Guideau Ashaf shippers. Don't be a coward. Imagine it with the beast body too!
