⠀ i cannot help but agree. those who left
⠀ were able to find peace within themselves.
⠀ i . . could only find peace in you. perhaps
⠀ temporary in a few others.
⠀ ⠀ * an airy chuckle . gloved hand making its way to the blond’s own.
⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀ * a gentle sigh , unknowingly melting into the taller’s touch. ⠀ the only being to see him in such a state.
⠀ sweet ? perhaps your mind truly
⠀ has been twisted , sire. ⠀ my devotion
⠀ to you mad me nothing short of ——
⠀ bossy.
⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀
⠀ move on . . i could not. my heart held
⠀ you dearly , my lord. as if —— it beat
⠀ for you. many fae felt the same. they
⠀ abandon Snezhnaya after your leave.
⠀ i , being one of them. ⠀ had i known
⠀ you’d return ——
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
You have stayed . . “
A slight pull back so one hand could rub the others head .
“ still as sweet as in the past but you also seem more . . Tired . “
Sweet is an understatement . This boy was stern in the past .
He just likes to tease him .
⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀ * the comfort he once knew. though , his head now rested against the man’s shoulder rather than his chest. he’d grown . . he must remember that.
⠀ times have changed —— i hope ,
⠀ for you , that i have not.
⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀
⠀ eager as i may have been , so many
⠀ decades ago . . so much time , lost.
⠀ my own —— meant nothing without you.
⠀ had i moved on i ——
⠀ ⠀ * his words are cut off by the offered hug. it takes no time for the fae to return to that warmth .
⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀ * although , each word sounded like nonsense. kyryll , too , had to accept change. his dear leader had been returned to him . . . minus the power. such formality would have to be unlearned.
⠀ i . . apologize if i came onto you as ——
⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀
⠀ to disobey ? using the hand as leverage , he helps himself up. and is immediately lost within the eyes of the other.
⠀ whether or not you carry said title
⠀ means very little to me . . though ,
⠀ i will toss the formalities if asked.
⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀
⠀ a life ended with the hands of my own.
⠀ a decision , quite selfish. yet selfless.
⠀ a few hundred years have passed
⠀ to my knowledge. ⠀ many spent ——
⠀ asleep.
⠀ ⠀ * heavy eyes glanced upward. seeing the hand confused him , yet who was he ,
⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀
⠀ you were gone. ⠀ and for some ,
⠀ very peculiar reason . . my loyalty
⠀ has lead me back to you.
⠀ as for time . . i , could not bare the
⠀ world without your leadership. so .
⠀ the consciousness of my own had
⠀ been cut short.
⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀ * the comfortable silence is tolerated. besides , kyryl himself could barely believe his eyes either. this —— was a miracle.
⠀ my . . search hinged on pure delusion ,
⠀ my lord. as if . . i could not grieve you
⠀ if i did not truly ,
⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀ * now —— positioned within a bow. ⠀ one he has not seen through since . . .
⠀ how i have missed you. much has changed
⠀ since your —— departure. death has
⠀ claimed many , fortunately , not
⠀ i.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀ * the gentlest of smiles. gentle —— just as his former leader deserved.
⠀ indeed . it has been quite the search.
⠀ ⠀ * no more does he move. frozen in place for a few moments. ⠀ before finally , he moves to position himself upon one knee.
