Sorvus Week 2024 | Prompt: Hearts of Cinder (No Warnings Apply)
Corvus knew that something was wrong the moment Soren wasn’t there to greet him and Ezran. And it wasn’t just that, nobody seemed to have seen him. Not since the attack, which at least Opeli was able to confirm that he’d made it out of. Corvus had been over the camp twice, even ducking into a few tents to check if he was there. He wasn’t. But several frustrated civilians were.
It wasn’t until his nerves calmed that he was able to think about it logically. He was a tracker, after all. If anyone could find Soren, it would be him. So he did.
He went through the entire camp searching for the familiar tread of Soren’s boots, finally spotting them by the clearing’s edge. Corvus followed them into the woods, wondering why his friend would have gone there. It wasn't like him. Soren rarely liked to be alone, and more than that, with everything that had happened, it only made sense for him to be at the center of what was going on back at the camp. Soren never turned his back on someone in need. It was one of the things Corvus respected about him most.
And yet here his tracks were, leading off into the woods. Corvus walked for a while, picking his way through the steadily thickening foliage until he began to hear the burbling of a nearby stream. And that was where he found Soren.
At first he didn’t understand why his friend would be sitting like that, hunched over and staring into the water. His first instinct was fear, that somehow he’d gotten hurt. But that didn’t make any more sense than him wandering off into the woods. And then he spotted the little things, the small details that he had missed at first glance.
The scorched marks on the fallen log Soren was sitting on.
The steam rising from the water before him.
The faint glow emanating from his hands where they rested in his lap.
“Soren?” Corvus asked tentatively, making sure to let his footfalls be audible as he approached so as not to startle his friend. “What are you doing out here?”
Soren, back already to Corvus, turned away further. “You made it back quick.”
He didn’t sound especially happy about it, and that… hurt in a way Corvus hadn’t been expecting.
“We got your message. Are you-”
“I’m fine.” Soren interjected, turning away again as Corvus neared. “You should get back to camp. They probably need your help.”
“They need your help too.” Corvus waited for him to turn and look at him, stopping a few steps away. “Soren, what’s going on?”
He heard the other man take a deep breath, then he turned to face Corvus all in one quick motion, like he had to do it that way or he wouldn’t be able to make himself go through with it. Corvus’ eyes widened. Glowing lines crisscrossed Soren’s face, disappearing into his collar and reemerging across the backs of his hands. They shimmered in sunset tones, shifting and changing. The same color had swallowed the blue of his eyes, the whites of his eyes turning black. This close to him, Corvus could feel the heat radiating off Soren, see that the puffs of steam he’d seen earlier were from the proximity of his shoes to the stream.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t want you to see me like this.” Soren said, voice wobbling. He glanced down at his hands, clenched tightly in his lap. “I know I look like some sort of… some sort of monster and I-”
“Soren.” Corvus sat beside him, ignoring the radiating heat. “You’re not a monster.”
“But I-”
“Soren.” Corvus said again, reaching out and gently untangling his friend's hands. He winced as their skin touched, thin threads of smoke rising from the places where his clothes made contact with Soren. But he ignored it. “You don’t look like one either.”
“I’m hurting you.” Soren gasped, pulling his hands back with a look of horror.
Corvus snatched them back, not caring. “Soren, look at me. Whatever this is, it will pass. Magic isn’t forever-”
“But what if it is?” Soren got up, trying to take a step back, but Corvus rose with him. “I… I already have Dark Magic in my system. And that’s forever. So what if this is too? What if this is me now? What if-”
“Then we figure it out.” Corvus told him, taking another step towards him. “I’m not going to let you banish yourself to the woods.”
“I’m hurting you.” Soren said again, his eyes drifting down to their clasped hands.
“I don’t care.”
“But-”
Corvus took another step closer, and taking a deep breath, let Soren’s hands go just long enough to wrap his arms around him, pulling him into a tight hug.
“I thought I lost you, Soren.” he said, giving voice to the fear that had plagued him the entire flight back. “That hurt more than this ever could.”
Slowly, tentatively, Soren lifted his arms and hugged Corvus back.
“Just, let me know if I should-”
“Don’t stop.”
“Okay.”
Slowly Corvus felt Soren begin to relax. “I’m glad you’re okay.” he told him.
“Would you really call this okay?” Soren tried to laugh, but it died in his throat.
Corvus pulled back, stared into his eyes. They seemed a little… cooler. More purpley, less orange.
He opened his mouth to tell him, but had a realization. Maybe it wasn’t the Dark Magic in his system keeping the spell active. Maybe it was Soren.
He guided him back over to the fallen tree he’d been sitting on, and only a little smoke rose as they returned to their previous seats. Corvus didn’t let go of Soren’s hand.
“Maybe okay was the wrong word.” he admitted. “Because you don’t have to be okay. You know that, don’t you? That we’ll all still be there for you, even when you’re not okay?”
“Of course I know that.” Soren stared at the ground, at his shoes, at the smoldering grass under his boots. As he watched, the fire grew, a small flower shriveling and blackening. And the more Corvus watched, the more Soren watched, the more the flames climbed until he was forced to drop Soren’s hand and collect water from the stream to splash on it. Steam mingled with the smoke as the pair of them watched. Corvus took his friend’s hand again.
No, not friend. Soren was more than a friend.
“You know, you’re the reason I stayed in Katolis.” he told him. “Not King Ezran.”
Soren glanced up at him, eyes flickering for a moment. Corvus swallowed nervously, but forced himself to continue.
“I could tell that you weren’t okay, but that you weren’t going to ask for help. Sometimes I wondered if you didn’t know how. If it was never an option before.” Corvus took a deep breath. “But it is now. We’re here to help. I’m here to help. Because-”
He reached out, brushing the hair back from Soren’s face. His eyes were wide and purple. Corvus let his hand linger on the other man’s cheek.
“Because I love you, Soren.”
And then before he could think any better of it, or wonder if this would actually work, he leaned forward and he kissed him. And the kiss burned. But Corvus didn’t care, because Soren didn’t pull away, and he didn’t flinch back and ask ‘what do you think you’re doing’ like Corvus had pictured him doing a thousand times.
Instead he reached out and pulled Corvus closer, one hand resting on the small of his waist as the other traveled up to cup his chin and pull them together. And slowly the burning faded, and only the sweetness of finally doing this of finally admitting to himself that he wanted to remained.
When Corvus opened his eyes, it was to find Soren’s blue ones shining back at him.
“I’ve wanted to do that for a while.” he admitted. “Not exactly how I pictured it.”
Corvus laughed, an oddly free and joyous sound even to his own ears. And he kissed him again, because he could.
