this is going to be an attack on @danielcvmpbell
i’m definitely gonna make it sad
1. Smirking Kiss
Alex would be the first to admit that Merry always had him some type of way. He was just so in love with her. That meant loving every part of her. Her sweet smile, her gentle touch, the way she moaned for him when she knew she shouldn’t.
They had gone into a photobooth to take some cute pictures for Merry’s scrapbook. What she didn’t plan on, was how brave Alex was going to get. His fingers wandering and pulling sounds from her with a practised touch. He knew her body better than she did, he had spent just as many hours worshipping it and the ground that she walked on. He kissed her to swallow up those sounds, keep them quiet and secretive. His lustful smirk so prominent as she squirmed under his touch.
2. Comforting Kiss
Alex hated Merry’s family. He hated spending time with them. As soon as they left the house and got back home, he kissed Merry softly and hugged her. He made it his job to look after her and treat her as she deserved, make her remember that he loved her with every fibre of his being. He treated her like a princess. Even had a little toy crown for her to wear. He wrapped her into a sushi roll and carried her to bed. He fed her, cuddled her, and kissed her all over her face until she would be sick of him. But she knew that she could never be sick of him.
3. Reassuring Kiss
Merry hated watching Alex suffer. Even with him being Zadkiel’s vessel and harnessing his power, it hadn’t quite cleared his anxiety or his PTSD, in fact in some respects, the latter seemed to have gotten worse. It was so hard for her to watch him panic and cry over things that neither of them could solve or change. She did what she could - comfort him, hold him, make sure he knew that he was safe and that he always did the best he could to do to help people.
He always apologised for getting into such a state. Without fail. She always lovingly shut him up with a kiss to reassure him that he was fine, always accompanied by a kiss and a cuddle. Merry always enjoys the soft little shivers she receives when she runs her fingers through Alex’s hair.
4. Hello i would like attention pls kiss
Alex loved to watch Merry write. He loved for her to sit on his lap while she did. He wanted to contribute and play with her hair. These sessions tended to last a few hours until Alex got restless, then his hips shifted, her hands went to her hips to steady her as they did. “Merry -” He started, leaning forward to kiss her neck. She hummed in acknowledgement but stayed writing. Alex became insistent, grazing his teeth against her skin and sucking a soft and small little mark, she remained mostly still.
He huffed and finally directed her chin to twist her round so he could kiss her. Oh she was so in for it.
5. The Last Kiss
Alex did not look well. He looked skinny with sunken eyes, the colour had drained from his face. It had only been two months since he moved out of the house he used to share with Merry but it had fucked him up. He had bright purple bags under his eyes as well, a sign of his not sleeping. He just barely functioned without her. He let his attorney do all the talking, Alex did not want to be there.
He looked like he had also been crying as well and not taking care of himself beyond taking a shower and that was a struggle. He was just about managing to make it into work. But he was so depressed that he could barely find the motivation to do anything besides log in. He hated that stupid office job. It ruined his marriage, his life and basically his entire soul.
Merry sat on the other side of the court room. Distraught, shaken, she looked a former shell of herself as well. Though she still had some emotion left in her and she felt her broken heart hurt even more as she caught sight of Alex, seeing him so broken. But they had agreed that this was for the best for them, even if neither of them believed it. Alex would get better, he would move on right?
Once the proceedings were over, she unhooked her necklace and secured it around Alex’s neck gently. A final momento. He even moved to make it easier for her. They were still in sync even if they hadn’t spoken in months. Merry kissed his cheek before leaving his side once again. 5 minutes, he walked out as well, hands in his pocket and feeling a grip on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

🌿 / our muses catch themselves under a mistletoe .
His favourite ball of sunshine had attached mistletoe to every door frame and overhanging bar in a 2 mile radius. Alex didn’t mind, he loved paying his toll in kisses every time he saw her. But one he loved the most, hung from the top of the headboard of their bed. So when Merry lay there, in a silken little nightgown (looking like an tempting angel), and drew his attention to the mistletoe above their heads, he had every intention on kissing more than just her lips.
💨 / our muses are trapped inside a cabin during a snow storm .
“At least we got some firewood before the snowstorm got too bad.” Alex smiled at Merryn, readjusting the curtains before going back to the couch where Merry sat in cosy pajamas and socks. The fire flickered loudly, cascading them in warmth. “You’ll be able to get lots of writing done here.” He just liked to come along for the ride. Evident by the fact she was scribbling away in her book and he curled up beside her reading one of his own.
