+ distress…”

He wanted to hug her, yet was scared she’d pull away the second he embraced her.

[𝐑𝐄𝐗 𝐋𝐀𝐏𝐈𝐒 @geometeors]

Her reaction earned a confused and worried frown from the Archon, who just stood there, watching.

Out of all the outcomes this conversation could’ve had, this was not one Morax had foreseen.

However, no matter his opinion on her accusations, he had made her cry, and that was +

“because you keep wording it wrong!

You keep thinking that because something horrible happened to her, it will happen to me as well.
You keep wording it like that!

It's not even comparing it's —”

+ something he was not willing to go through.

Stepping forward, careful and hesitant hands reached out to hold her forearms, fingers sliding down her arms until they reached her hands.

“I am sorry.”

It sounded genuine, truly worried.

“I was not aware it caused you so much +

@thalass0phil3e https://t.co/KV0En9WEwf DON’T CRY it’ll be okay 🫶 they’ll have a happy ending <3

+ “If you do not wish to speak now, I will let you go. But know that this is not fair. You are not being fair to me,” He started.

“You never told me about such feelings.”

[𝐑𝐄𝐗 𝐋𝐀𝐏𝐈𝐒 @geometeors]

He had just come back, and… How did it end up like this? They had been so happy to be reunited a few minutes ago.

Yet, what she was saying… It hurt him.

He was left speechless for a few seconds, gaze darting from her eyes to her body and back up, watching her every move.

“That was not my point, you can't keep me away from the most crucial side of your life because of your bad experiences.

I can't keep up with the terror of something bad happening to you while I'm here, unable to help.”

[𝐑𝐄𝐗 𝐋𝐀𝐏𝐈𝐒 @geometeors]

The words almost gave him whiplash. They felt like a slap on the face, and something clenched in his chest.

Amber eyes stared at colorful ones for a long moment, filled with heavy silence.

And then, his face fell.

“I was not comparing you.”

[𝓕𝓻𝓸𝓶 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓼𝓮𝓪 @thalass0phil3e]

It was hard to say what kind of emotions she was displaying, truly.
She seemed hesitant, angry and hurt.

It was wrong, somehow something in her brain was telling her that perhaps he. . .

“I'm not her.”

[𝐑𝐄𝐗 𝐋𝐀𝐏𝐈𝐒 @geometeors]

It was a rather touchy topic, surely. It made the Archon spiral deep into his mind when it was brought up.

Opal’s hands, however, managed to bring him back down to Teyvat.

He watched her, a mix of anger, sadness and longing washing over him.

“She told me the exact same thing.”

[𝓕𝓻𝓸𝓶 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓼𝓮𝓪 @thalass0phil3e]

Biting the inside of her cheek, the hybrid crossed her arms over her chest, quietly looking at the other for a long moment there.

“Morax.”

She called, hands reaching to take his, thumbs brushing over knuckles.

“please. . .I can take care of myself. . .”

[𝐑𝐄𝐗 𝐋𝐀𝐏𝐈𝐒 @geometeors]

The mention of her had Morax pulling back quickly. He looked down, away from her, clear frustration on his features.

“No. I will not let it happen again. Over my dead body.”

[𝓕𝓻𝓸𝓶 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓼𝓮𝓪 @thalass0phil3e]

“I've. . .heard the story,

Of what happened to -her- , I know why you are worried. . .

It will not happen again, trust me. . .”

A hesitant murmur, perhaps she knew better than talking about someone he had loved so dearly. . .

But she needed to prove her point.

[𝐑𝐄𝐗 𝐋𝐀𝐏𝐈𝐒 @geometeors]

“It is too dangerous, love…”

Slowly placing her down, Morax’s fingers found their way into her hair, brushing it back carefully.

“I refuse to put you in danger. I cannot lose you.”

[𝓕𝓻𝓸𝓶 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓼𝓮𝓪 @thalass0phil3e]

“next time make sure to bring me with you then. . .”

A murmur was her reply as the tip of her nose now lightly brushed over his.

“I can't stand when you are not by my side. . .”

[𝐑𝐄𝐗 𝐋𝐀𝐏𝐈𝐒 @geometeors]

Ah, that praise again… It filled him with a kind of feeling that was difficult to explain.

The kiss was returned, as well as the smile.

“How much I missed you.”

[𝓕𝓻𝓸𝓶 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓼𝓮𝓪 @thalass0phil3e]

Humming to herself, the girl placed both hands over his cheeks, fingers tickled by soft locks.

“good boy. . .”

Was whispered before her lips would meet his in a soft little kiss that left her smiling.

[𝐑𝐄𝐗 𝐋𝐀𝐏𝐈𝐒 @geometeors]

With a chuckle rumbling in his chest, the Archon turns.

The height difference is enough to have him leaning down to pick her up bridal style.

“I was not planning on letting you go, anyway.”

[𝓕𝓻𝓸𝓶 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓼𝓮𝓪 @thalass0phil3e]

“Just for your knowledge I'm not letting you move until you pick me up.”

A playful pout, the hybrid had now - gently - headbutted the other's back.

[𝐑𝐄𝐗 𝐋𝐀𝐏𝐈𝐒 @geometeors]

Oh, the familiar feeling. He had missed it dearly.

He is already smiling, hands coming up to hold her forearms.

“Oh, dear…”

[𝓕𝓻𝓸𝓶 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓼𝓮𝓪 @thalass0phil3e]

Suddenly hugging the Archon from behind, face well snuggled against his back.

She missed him so much. . .

[𝐑𝐄𝐗 𝐋𝐀𝐏𝐈𝐒 @geometeors]

Ah, is he being summoned?

[𝐑𝐄𝐗 𝐋𝐀𝐏𝐈𝐒 @geometeors]

Hmm… He misses a certain someone.

Looking around for her.

[𝐑𝐄𝐗 𝐋𝐀𝐏𝐈𝐒 @geometeors]

The matters he had to attend are now over. He has returned.

[𝐑𝐄𝐗 𝐋𝐀𝐏𝐈𝐒 @geometeors]
