@whitebeards-16th-commander - just something my mind came up with.
After a long day in the kitchen, Thatch walked into his room and closed the door with a tired sigh. While he loved cooking and loved his jb, sometimes it could be a bit much and today was one of the days that tired him out.
Taking off his foulard, he threw it carelessly onto the back of the chair and first now did he lay eyes on his bed. It was occupied by the most gorgeous man on this ship. Izo. The man Thatch loved more than he'd ever thought was possible.
Tiredly, Thatch discarded his shoes, belt and shirt, before makign his way to the bed. Izo's painted red lips were so inviting and as soon as Thatch was on the bed, their lips met for a long and passionate kiss. Some of the stress that had burdened Thatch the entire day, lifted from his shoulders, as he felt the arms of his lover around him, pulling him closer.
When their lis parted, Thatch looked deeply into Izo's eyes, a soft smile grazing the cooks lips, as he spoke. "You always makes my day better, no matter what, love. Thank you." He meant it. No matter how rough his days were - of how good - being with Izo, being able to kiss, hug and cuddle with him, always made him feel better. Love was precious and never would Thatch take it for given. He wold make sure Izo knew just how much he was loved and appreciated. Every single day.
Hey Guy’s, the fifth chapter for Golden Sun is now up. Here is a portion of it, you can find the rest of it on my Ao3 and Fanfiction .net account
Hope you enjoy!~
Thatch,
I do hope this letter finds you well in your current residence as I know how uneasy you must be by now. Oyaji, too, is beginning to have reservations about his assignment. He was convinced that by sending you, it would ease the mounting stress between our coven and that of the Count's but it appears that Oyaji is starting to second guess his decision.
This isn't to say that he does not have faith in your ability to complete your task, but simply that perhaps it was too soon for you to be there.
Nonetheless, we have faith in you. If you need backup let us know and we will send someone to help you as soon as we can.
I imagine you're rolling your eyes at our worry right about now. So I will not push the matter any further. Oyaji sends his love, as we all do. Your presence at the castle is very…noticeable. It's much less loud as you can imagine. But not as much as you would think, Blenheim recently returned to the castle after completing his latest travel. And while he was out he befriended an Oxen.
Can you believe that? He just strode into the castle with that creature in tow. And of course Fossa thought he was dinner and started chasing after the poor thing until Blenheim had to step in and reassure the animal that he wouldn't be turned into a meal. Oyaji was amuses as you might have guessed, while the staff was none too pleased at having to clean up the mess afterwards. So to appease them and as a way of apology I had to give them extra pay to get things back in order.
The kitchen staff also misses you you know, they claim their dishes aren't as great without you about the kitchen. And I have to say, I miss your cooking as well. No one brews coffee like you. But I'm afraid that's the only praise I'm willing to give in this letter lest your head, or should I say hair, get bigger than it already is.
With loving affection,
Marco Newgate
Hey Marco,
You do realize you don't have to be so formal in your letters right? We're buds, brothers even and here you are sending me this cordial shit like I'm the freaking Count. And that last note at the end, are you getting sentimental over me? I am so touched! I'm laughing by the way. Just like I did when I read the whole Ox encounter what's the name Blenheim gave him?
And yes! I did roll my eyes plenty of times, you and Oyaji don't have to worry about me, I'm fine for the most part. And really I wasn't planning on staying this long either, a month or two max and we're bordering on what now, three months?
(I sighed here)
Things certainly aren't easy. I have to admit it's tough here and I would rather be anywhere else than being confined to this castle and the Count; but...dare I think that fate had an ulterior motive to my being here?
Vamps here are warped Marc. The Count has it in his head that we as Vampires have to domineer over the humans and has begun collecting them as pets. He had servants before and I admit slaves here and there, but they weren't treated this badly before. The things that transpire in this castle are horrifying. We had thought Donquixote was bad in his weird fascination of capturing humans and making them act out his perverted fantasies, but that pales in comparison to this. Humans here are worth less than animals Marco, anything and everything they do is monitored and if they take a single step out of line they're beaten within an inch of their life. There seem to be different tiers to this madness as well. I have yet to see what gets done to those they dispose but I promise you it is not something I wish to find out. And…
I'm sorry I had to set the quill down, it's not easy writing this down especially with how infuriated it makes me. It's nothing short of hell for them Marco and no matter what I tell the stubborn old Count he just won't listen to reason. He doesn't see the humans outside as a threat, He believes that the castle walls will hold against an attack from them. And I tried to explain that the humans had clever ways to their methods, bombs, catapults you know the works… There is no getting across to him and I feel guilty Marc. This is my fault, all of this that is happening to the humans...to.
The humans are losing hope on having a better life. It's heartbreaking to see Marco. And I can't raise a single hand to help not without challenging the Count. But I want to help them. And that's the reason I'm still here. I'm going to find a way Marco, I promised someone here I would find a way.
How I wish I had your Inclination* right now, the ability to clearly analyze a situation and find the best possible solution. But instead I have this storytelling gift that can do nothing at all for them.
Some insight would be highly appreciated, and I miss you guys too.
