Even at their current level, the Bloodborne server was reputed to be one of the most difficult besides Sypha’s main and most frequently visited server, and because of it, it was sparsely populated by all except hardcore veterans and masochists demanding a challenge. Arriving through the portal, it was obvious that their own garb from the Castlevania server stood apart from many of what was present here. Lingering in Central Yharnam, it was pretty enough to explore, at least.

“ i struggle with the idea of anyone loving me unconditionally. ” 

The night was long, and sometimes seemed to never end. The dark nights and endless hunts, they put dampers on everyones moods, even the young children. And it only got worse as the hunt and the beasts grew more frequent.

That’s why Kayden found the nights where she and Aiden wrapped up together to be so important. It was a respite from the outer world, where they could get lost in laughter and the sweeter things that life once offered frequently. Rubbing her hand up and down Aidens’ back the quiet words startled her.

Humming in thought, Kayden shifted so that, instead of resting her head on Aidens’ shoulder, she was now facing her partner. Brushing a strand of lavender away from their face before caressing their cheek, she nodded slowly. “I can understand that feeling. I, for so long, didn’t think it was possible.” Pressing a gentle kiss to their lips, she smiled softly. “But I met you, and I think I understand how it feels to be loved now. I don’t know if there’s anyway to define or show unconditional love, but I do know that I always want to be by your side. Through the good and the bad, I’ll be here, and I’ll love you.”

Pulling Aiden close, so that their head rested on her chest, Kayden idly played with their hair. “I think unconditional is just a fancy word for choosing to love someone, through the hard times, the fights, the sickness, it’s choosing to stay. I think we have that.”

“I’m not jealous!”

“You think that wasn’t something a jealous person would do?”

One eyebrow raised, and Kayden looked at Aiden with a scrutinizing look. She was curious, and confused, though she was almost amused by the way Aiden had very easily scared off a hunter who had asked if Kayden wanted to join them for lunch. Though all of that was concealed by a mask of neutrality. Sighing, she closed her eyes for a moment in thought before removing her hat and running her hand through her hair. Pinning Aiden with a sharp look, Kayden grabbed their arm and dragged them out of the Workshop and over to a corner that had hid in on more then one occasion. Tangling one hand in Aidens’ hair, she pulled them closer, resting their foreheads against. “Talk to me Aiden, what’s wrong?”

“ I just wish I could see them again. Their smiles, laughs, faces. I miss them. ”

It wasn’t often that Aiden talked about her family. The sudden and brutal way they were taken from her, Kayden could not relate, but she did not push them to speak of it. The memories were painful, their trip to Cainhurst had shown Kayden just how horrendous the act was, and so she did what she could to soothe the aching memories. When she heard Aiden speak, in the late hours of the night, she pulled them closer, wrapped her arms around them a little tighter.

Running her fingers through Aidens’ hair, Kayden kept quiet as she thought. She had never been close to her parents, and she was an only child, so when she chose to study away from her family after her grandparents died, those ties were severed on purpose. Pressing a kiss to Aidens’ temple, she rubbed their back. “I…. Perhaps writing your memories down, or drawing them, would help immortalize them? We could hang their portraits, if you wished.” She did not know what to say, but she wished to help, offering what affection and comfort she could.

"Kiss me. Kiss me like you mean it." (I feel like I'm spamming you with asks, but I can't help it lol)

What they had fallen into, living together, hunting together, soaking up the moments of gentleness and vulnerability each showed; it was so new. To have someone to wake up to, to feel safe and happy with, emotions that had been in the city of broken people. Whatever had them together, Kayden was grateful for it. Outside of the pain and the guilt, there was Aiden; strong, solid, fierce and terrifyingly beautiful. And Kayden loved her.

The request that fell from Aiden caught her off guard for a moment, so lost in her thoughts as she carefully watched them slowly get ready for the day. Leaving their bed, she took Aidens’ hands in her own, kissing her knuckles and both palms before placing their hands on her hips. Cradling Aidens’ cheek, her right hand softly slipped from her cheek to rest on her throat.

“Don’t let go.”

Capturing Aiden in a fierce kiss, Kayden picked her up and fell onto the bed with them pinned underneath her. Holding one of Aidens’ hands in hers, above their heads, the silk sheets felt so cold in contrast to the burning passion that Aiden ignited with those words. Only pulling away when her lungs burned with the need for air, she moved to kiss down Aidens’ neck, leaving small hickeys as she went until there was no more bare skin for her to mark.

Gently, Kayden kissed each mark, her left hand slipping under Aidens’ shirt, the need to feel more of them driving her even when she tried to calm her racing heart that wanted to do so much more than kiss. Sweetly, she captured their lips in her own again, her affection softer this time, but no less earnest or ardent.

Resting her forehead against Aidens’, she nuzzled her nose against theirs. “I’ll kiss you as many times you want. I want you. I love you.”

❛  none  could  challenge  us  .  ❜ (their great one/beasthood verse)

The Great One watched the stars twinkle in the sky above the putrid smoke that came from the chimneys and bonfires of Yharnam. She was almost certain she could pull them from the sky if she truly wished to make them dance. The low voice of her lover, rough due to her more beastly nature, touched her ears and brought a smile (a strange one, her emotions showing differently now that she had ascended to take her place in the sky) to Kayden’s lips, her eyes of solid sea and star turning to meet Aidens’ glowing red eyes. “Well, they could challenge us.” Amusement shone in her eyes at the thought of the humans trying to challenge them. “They would never succeed.”

Slowly, she brought one of Aidens’ hand up, brushing her lips over their bloodstained knuckles, feeling their palm against her cheek. Adoration was in her half-lidded eyes, a lazy smile upon her lips as she moved to stand ever closer to Aiden. Stardust fell from her lips when she exhaled, her fingertips brushing over Aidens’ cheek with a gentle touch before tangling in their hair. “I would rend all of space and time for you.”

Capturing Aiden’s lips, Kayden closed her eyes, focusing only on the feeling of her lovers body under her hands, the taste upon their lips, and the rhythmic beating of their heart aligning so as to beat to the same song. “You and I, we could rule if we wanted to.”
