PaperWork - Swain
Flickering of the small heat source that provided light for the general going through reports and other paperwork, as well as providing light for the half awake female reading a book on romance but hardly keeping her eyes open for five minutes. Pages flicking as she flipped through the book and as he placed papers in a stack. Being the Grand General of Noxus wasn’t always about war or battles, only children could think such a thing. No there was also the paper work of reports, careful plannings, and future expeditions to send troops out on, as well as expanding territory and making sure everything was being funded correctly. Swain did not need to look at his wife to know she was falling asleep, the slowing movement of pages gave it away.”My dear must you insist on staying in my work-study until I finish these tasks at least save that book before it becomes your pillow.” he spoke in a low yet direct voice not even taking an eye off of his work.
A low mumble was all that was emitted from her before she decided to listen to he husbands words and closed her novel, pushing it aside so she could rest her head upon her arms. Now that she wasn’t reading she watched him work diligently, in a quick pace. One that she couldn’t tell if it was to quickly finish so he could retire to their chambers together or if it was his normal fast working pace. This thought she didn’t linger on as her mind was already shutting itself down. Though she took this time to admire him, his white hair that flatly cascaded down framing his sharp cheekbones, and the way his facial features looked stern yet so soft in a way.
Normally his face would intimidate those who weren’t close to him and could never tell what he was thinking or feeling. But over time shes learned what each and every face he makes means.
“Why must you intend stare at me with that look?” he inquired
“Im not looking at you with a “look” im admiring your facial features from afar” she explained with a small smile that she could manage
He hummed in response, which she knew was a good sign, he only did answer because if he said anything else she would distract him.
Unfortunately the drowsiness was tired of waiting on her and soon she succumbed to the embrace of sleep. The next time she awoke was when she was being placed into the soft sheets of a bed. Eyes fluttering open she was met with the sight of Swain hovering over her, noticing she was awake he spoke.
“Lift your arms”
Tiredly lifting her arms up he helped her slip off the shirt she adorned for the day placing it neatly on her bedside table.
“Now lift up your hips”
Groaning she lifted up her lower body so he could slip off her skirt, leaving her in her undergarmets once he placed the skirt with the top he removed his own clothes and armor before slipping into bed with her.
Covering the two of them with a cover he pulled her closer to his chest her face towards him. He couldn’t help but begin to chuckle. Although he was expecting her to question him for his amusement, he found that she had already fell back into a slumber curled up against him.
Whether he was embracing her or recieving reports of her undoing his plans he enjoyed the way she spiced up everything.
Placing a soft kiss upon her head he pulled her closer to his form , inhaling her scent before he soon joined her in the endless space of rest.
