@kahyte asked “I can’t lose you too, okay?”
touch delicate as the pads of digits trace the harsh ridges of her neckline, slow soothing circles nuzzling themselves beneath golden hairline and he hums low whilst her embrace warms him slowly. the idea of losing one another, the tinge of pain in his heart heavy, would be but the worst thing to imagine within his head. moments tick and time scrolls through an endless fountain of youth and yet one harsh blow to a skull and he’s down for near days on end simply due to cracked flesh and venom loss from his system. his hums weaken slightly, arm shifts his body to side and he presses a delicate peck to her forehead.
‘ you will not lose me, kate. ‘ his tone is honey, dripping with saccharine sweet as he speaks to her like she’s delicacy of a flower and to him she merely is. though she’s just as tough, if not tougher, on the outer shell ; he’s seen her inside and seen just how soft that heart could be ! nothing in such a world could break his heart more than the look of horror on her face as he woke from a slumber of three days time. ‘ it was an accidental blow to the head. nothing a small sleep couldn’t fix. ‘
there was that attempt again, the lightening of a mood that’s set in somber until he’s finally, and begrudgingly, tugging himself out of her grasp until he’s lifted himself from the sweat ridden confines of his sheets and he’s traipsing toward his bedroom door. ‘ come, let’s you and i get a drink and you can fill me in on the horrors my coven’s caused since i’ve been out. ‘ he murmurs, arm slinging across her shoulders and he’s leading them to the confines of a kitchen layout of coven home to pour two glasses of aged whiskey. ivory washed gaze seems nestled on her features and he can see lines of worry embed into the flesh above her brows, tight knit and near together as she’s studying him.
‘ you stop worrying so much. ‘ he hums softly, glass lifts to his lips by digits he can nearly remember not how to use and he sips liquor to burn the taste of scarlet out of his taste buds. ‘ you wouldn’t lose me even if you tried to. you’re stuck with an old monster for eternity. ‘
