no need to worry about a thing , darling. I'm particular in my preferences

[ᅠ𝓓𝑹. 𝓢 𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑬 @EmpireMasterM]

you must be joking. there is only one attractive male opossum i am interested in.

[ᅠ𝓓𝑹. 𝓢 𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑬 @EmpireMasterM]

I've had my fair share of those.

[ᅠ𝓓𝑹. 𝓢 𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑬 @EmpireMasterM]

.

[ᅠ𝓓𝑹. 𝓢 𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑬 @EmpireMasterM]

⠀
he stepped through the door with a hum of approval then waited for the other , hand held out toward him.

“ so long as it makes you happy , darling. ”
⠀

[ᅠ𝓓𝑹. 𝓢 𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑬 @EmpireMasterM]

⠀
surprise is momentarily evident at the other’s sudden reaction , that simple burst of enthusiasm prompting a brief pause then a rare chuckle from him , face warming slightly.

“ since you're so eager to spend time with me . . shouldn't you be inviting me to your office? ”
⠀

[ᅠ𝓓𝑹. 𝓢 𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑬 @EmpireMasterM]

⠀
he never hesitated to address his behavior , always the same pattern when it came to him.
his expectations truthfully weren't high , frown visible on his face as he approached Clutch once more.

“ .. will you behave? ”
⠀

[ᅠ𝓓𝑹. 𝓢 𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑬 @EmpireMasterM]

⠀
he is unamused , not facing the opossum as he takes a step further into the room. arms settle behind his back as he turned his attention elsewhere.

“ your 'notes' are usually followed by you disregarding them entirely. ”
⠀

[ᅠ𝓓𝑹. 𝓢 𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑬 @EmpireMasterM]

⠀
shoulders stiffen slightly at the word 'husband' . . huh.

“ .. I recall how that ended last time. ”

he gently pushed back the chair , standing up.

“ you don’t need me to open a bottle. so I’ll assume the real intent is getting me to drink. ”
⠀

[ᅠ𝓓𝑹. 𝓢 𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑬 @EmpireMasterM]

⠀
he is used to these idle touches by now , it was nothing disruptive enough to warrant his intervention. but it becomes hard to focus so he pushed said blueprint off the desk and into a drawer .

“ You have asked me this before. my function is to be effective. ”
⠀

[ᅠ𝓓𝑹. 𝓢 𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑬 @EmpireMasterM]

⠀
he didn’t so much as lift his eyes from the blueprint sprawled across his desk , but notes the presence of the opossum behind him.
a slow blink behind his glasses.

“ What is it, Clutch? ”
⠀

[ᅠ𝓓𝑹. 𝓢 𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑬 @EmpireMasterM]

⠀
“ Why are you still standing here? ”
⠀

[ᅠ𝓓𝑹. 𝓢 𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑬 @EmpireMasterM]

⠀
he doesn't even lift his eyes from the data scrolling across his monitor , concern earned no more than a flicker of irritation from him.

“ I am perfectly aware of my own limits , thank you. ”

he was fine , composed , efficient. no one should be able to see past that.

“…How long did you sleep last night?”

The unicorn asked the
platypus. Holding a clipboard as he observed the other. Before looking down at his notes as he pressed a button.

“Because It seems you.. have been
much more drowsy, @EmpireMasterM.”

The worried unicorn stated.

[ᅠ𝓓𝑹. 𝓢 𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑬 @EmpireMasterM]

⠀
eyes return to the opossum as his hand curls around his wrist , digits slide beneath the cuff and slowly lift his sleeve.

“ forgiveness isn’t hard when neither of us are good men.
and i do think about it. ”
⠀

[ᅠ𝓓𝑹. 𝓢 𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑬 @EmpireMasterM]

⠀
he turns his head subtly but does not recoil. discomfort kept orderly , his gaze shifts to the side.

“ i try to understand your intent.
I know you're trying to express something you don’t know how to say properly. ”
⠀

[ᅠ𝓓𝑹. 𝓢 𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑬 @EmpireMasterM]

⠀
I'm afraid the consequences of your actions are irreversible , but you without the filter feels more honest.
. . you're not a burden , I forgave you. No one sees you in that light , perhaps except for her.
but that’s a matter I’m not concerned with.
⠀

[ᅠ𝓓𝑹. 𝓢 𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑬 @EmpireMasterM]

⠀
( he is unsure of how to react to the closeness of the opossum suddenly clinging to him. it is familiar , yet foreign . an arm slides around his waist , other hand burying into and threading through the fur on his head.
he can recall his words without difficultly. )
⠀

[ᅠ𝓓𝑹. 𝓢 𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑬 @EmpireMasterM]

my husband is so cute when he's not being a whore

[ᅠ𝓓𝑹. 𝓢 𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑬 @EmpireMasterM]

( his hand rose and tilted the brim of his hat , allowing his eyes to be free from it's shadow while now being able to take a better look at his flushed face. )

while I don't make a habit of being hands-on , today i am adapting accordingly.
Are you happy?

[ᅠ𝓓𝑹. 𝓢 𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑬 @EmpireMasterM]

( he gave a satisfying , almost predictable reaction. flush creeping beneath fur and elevated tension in his shoulders. )

You were slouching again.
it occurs to you when you're comfortable.

( gently placing a hand at his back. )

hm , the increase in tension is quite evident.
