You have a soul woven from diligence and humility. Pride too but I refuse to call it a sin.
“Sin is mostly a Christian thing. Most their deadly sins are fine in certain amounts. It’s okay to be angry; it’s okay to feel pride, so on. But in excess it consumes you.
But Pride, eh? I wouldn’t have picked it myself, but we never know how we look through other people’s eyes do we?”
It felt impossible to him to find someone who even remotely knew of the older gods and she even know of ones he did not! There was a sweeping comfort and joy in being able to speak more freely. In truth he didn’t realize the walls he put around his words until he spoke to her, always keeping his religion and beliefs tucked away because who would understand?
And she respected the crows, Odin saw fit to give him one small blessing it seemed. Before he went to take his leave he asked if the shaman would be adverse to him offering a small display of physical affection, and gratitude, a simple kiss upon her cheek.
When she gave him consent the large mercenary leaned down and his lips ever so lightly pressed up against her cheek.
We meet again in a strange place. Cicero, wasn't it?
“Hmm?!” The synthetic spun around on a heel to look upon a small woman. She seemed familiar, but his brain roamed through all the faces he had seen and came upon hers rather quickly. Enlightenment lit up his face.
“Oh! Yes, Cicero! Thats what they call me! And you! I remember you!” He smiles very widely, “It’s good to see you again Mia!” She had gotten so annoyed with him the last few times they had met, he forgotten to visit her. After all, he’d hate to get hurt from making her mad.
((Out of all the Cicero’s there’s only really been 2 seriously plotted relationships. His relationship with Saturday built him up and tore him down drastically. It was a long time ago, but it still influences his every day life. Especially his love life. It has made him withdraw from people he loves. Then there’s his ship with Decima. He’s head over heels for her and would pretty much do anything for her. He wants to marry her and have a family sooner or later. But of course, there’s always room for more ships and whatnot. ;)
Kira has only been in actual relationships with one person. Her most serious out of the AU’s is her relationship with Domitius ( @decanusdomitius ) in her NV verse. She adores him and they’ve been together for a fairly long time. Even though that ship seems to have pretty much sailed away at this point. She’s had more ups and downs with Danny though. *Shrugs* What can I say? She’s got the moon on a string.))
❤ Does my muse ever daydream about a life with someone? ☁ Are they ticklish, and how ticklish?
((They do. New Vegas Cicero has a few ships, but not alot of them are super serious. But still, he enjoys imagining what it’d be like. He’s always wanted a family even though at this point he’s pretty much given up on the idea. He mostly thinks of his future with either @forgedbysirens or @wastelandlosers (Cinda). None of his other ships really seem like they’ll get far enough that he’d actually consider doing anything about them.
FO4 Cicero obviously thinks very cute domestic thoughts about Ras. <3 It’s the frilly aprons that will pull him in and it will be the death of me it’s so cute. CX He’s not really met anyone else that he likes as much as he does Ras. So he can’t be all that imaginative. He might have thought about how it would be to always be with Kira. But that’s not really in the romantic sense. More just having a friend to be with always.
FC3 Cissy may think on Citra ( @rakyatleader ) every so often. But he’s well aware that it could never stay nice.
Kira daydreams alot. But really the only person her mind lingers on in the subject of ‘forever’, and that’s Danny. ( @enclaveassh0le ) Even though he’s a pain in the ass, she’s quite attached to him. Even if it couldn’t be romantic, she’d still enjoy having him around with her.
(Continued from here. Or rather, I just wanted to do at least just one lil response. I can’t resist you know.)
He had not even noticed she had been off recently. Sometimes he would worry over nothing when it came to her. Decima was so much like him, intelligent, secretive, controlled, collected, sometimes even manipulative like him too. Hiding her troubles from him seemed to be rather easy on her part, and though it troubled him from time to time, he couldn’t be more proud of the one he loved. She was perfect in every way.
So when he came back to where they called ‘home’ that day, he greeted her as he normally did, came back and sat down. But she seemed so quiet. Even nowadays, she still sometimes had trouble interrupting him even if he wasn’t doing anything important. A habit he tried to break out of her if he could.
Cicero’s foggy eyes stared up at her with a bit of an alarm. She seemed worried, contemplative.
She says nothing, taking his hand in her’s. He smiles softly, not how he normally smiled to others, but his genuine smile. He saved it for her and her alone. Very gently, she traces the lines in his hands as she sometimes did, as if looking for guidance every so often. But then, she carefully placed his palm against her stomach and smiled. The assassin grinned back and patted her stomach lightly.
“Yes Miss Decima, I see you. And I missed you more than you-” He stops suddenly. Cicero’s fingertips very hesitantly trace her lower stomach, pressing gently into her recently firmed flesh. It wasn’t noticeable really, but he knew.
His eyes darted back up to her face, that smile.
“You-?” He questions only for a split second before his hands grabbed her by the cloth of her gown and pulled her down into his lap as he sat in a chair.
“Amica mea~!” He practically squeaks, one hand glued to her stomach and his lips pressing to her temple, cheeks, and lips repeatedly. After a moment of initial excitement, he pulls her as close to him as he possibly can; burying his face into the crook of her neck.
“I prayed for this day to come for us.” He admits in almost a whisper. “I’m- You- We-” He kisses her neck, arms wrapping around her form in his lap. “I-” He begins to sniffle, squeezing her slightly. “I’m so happy...” Cicero had always wanted a family, and he didn’t want it with anyone else but her. Decima had been his entire universe for a very long time, in the excitement, he didn’t even think to ask if she was happy.
He hadn’t cried since he was younger, but the wetness she felt against her neck was undoubtedly anything else. Regardless of how he tried to hide it.
“Decima, amore mio, I love you more than I have ever loved anything else in my entire life and I should have asked you sooner. This foolish man has nothing to really give you, I don’t even have any sort of ring to put on you if you wanted such a thing... But do you think you could marry this fool? I’d- no- I will do anything you ever ask of me. Please, no ‘Sir’s’, no ‘if that’s what you want’s’, be honest with me, I need to hear your honest answer. I know I’m not perfect but you are my everything.” Cicero wipes his tear stained face as he looks up into her eyes.
“Your father gave me what was close enough to a blessing more than two years ago. If I have to ask Lucullus respectively, I will. Anything you want, I’m yours.”
