After Auri (and her bodyguard, Felix) gets attacked by the assassin hired by Ever Corp to suppress her research, Grey finally realizes he’s going to lose everything (including her, literally) if he doesn’t say something nOW. So in an act of desperation, he apologizes for everything- the way he ended their relationship 10 years ago in college, the way he’s been fighting falling back into the familiar ways with her, and for making his confession seem like a haphazard word vomit born of a fear he might never get to tell her, instead of something that was rationally thought out like he’d been wanting to, but feeling wholly undeserving of.
For her part, Auri had been patiently waiting for him to break under the weight of his own want, so her acceptance was swift, but oh so soft, and poor Grey had to beg her to tell him to stop, lest their first time together in 10 years be on his desk at the hospital instead of somewhere more appropriate- somewhere she deserved, like the privacy of his place.
Ockissweek really was out there with prompts like “desperate”, how on earth was I supposed to not do a 🌶️ piece for it?
Honestly it’s been a looong while since I’ve worked on 🌶️ art so this was just genuinely fun to stretch my ‘wings’ on. I kind of wish I’d had more than a day to spend on it but oh well 😅 that’s the fun part of these challenges!
