caught in the middle of his routine of feeding each living creature around the house, meowing and not, Essek stopped watering his maranta to nuzzle Lucien back.
No back pains could stop him from gardening duties.
"are you asking me if I have plans, or if I'd like to join you?"
There came a slow walk up to where @shadowhxnd was, leaning in close to press his lips against the mage's cheek.
"Think you might be up to go somewhere today, love?" He questioned softly, taking a moment just to stroke a stray hair from his fiancรฉ's face.
"I hope you're not doing it all by yourself..." his tone is scolding, but even with his eyes closed Lucien could hear the smile.
"and you say I deserve better. with you I have everything I need, and more. perhaps you don't even realize how much you do for me, every little +
"No matter the size you'd still be as radiant as ever." He insisted, letting his eyes close.
"If I could take some of it I would in a heartbeat. But, you can at least rest easily knowing that i've been making arrangements to have what you wanted done.
..The cozy cottage away-
doesn't it? but I believe it's because of my physicality, or at least that's what Caduceus tells me. I have to admit that it's becoming a struggle, the symptoms are not quieting down."
that was much better.
he rested his head on top of Lucien's and a hand over his, watching them joined together to hug that soft bump that was already forcing the weak drow to sleep instead of trancing.
by the Light, he'd been taking so many naps-
"it looks small, +
That pulled a soft chuckle out of the blood hunter, one hand withdrawing from Essek's backside to cradle the other's stomach.
"Really now? You're supposed to let your father rest little one. Save that energy for when you get to chase Rogue around the house..gods know that cat-
Essek got quiet for a moment too long, face hidden in his lover's hair, mindful of the horns as always.
there was something wrong and he didn't know how to help Lucien... it hurt, broke his heart. between wanting to ask him and wishing not to bother him, he simply ignored +
He wanted to be snarky and confident, to insist that Essek could try but nothing could match his dedication to his partner~
But, the flirty confidence was..absent..for now.
"You deserve much better." Was whispered ever so softly, meant to be more to himself than a genuine-
if he didn't feel how tense Lucien was before, he did in that moment then. it got Essek a bit concerned, but perhaps it was wiser to ask later and let Lucien relax.
"i couldn't ask for better, believe my word."
Lucien may have been the warmer of the two, but it was moments like this where Essek just made him melt.
He let out a relaxed sigh, like he had been holding his breath in for hours.
"Happy to provide, love. Wish I could do more~" He hummed, the tension that he hadn't realized -
that little huff made Essek chuckle and he couldn't not kiss the other's forehead. hand tenderly resting over his arm and rubbing circles on it.
"you don't know how useful, really. you're a resource." he chuckles again at his own words that otherwise would have sounded mean.
Lucien understood, tail finding it's placed wrapped around Essek's leg, his arms protectively around the mage's middle, and his face buried into his partner's shoulder.
"Mmph.." Came a grunt, only for the Tiefling to shift so he could speak.
"Fiendish blood is good for -
Lucien would be met with a soft "Hello," when, under the blankets, they found each other and hugged.
"You're warm," Essek whispered in his hair, letting him rest on his shoulder - his chest hurt, hopefully the other could understand.
He's just going to slowly start to bury himself under those blankets too, just until he found his Drow.
Then he'd secure his arms around Essek and hold him close.
No amount of blankets could keep him away.
Essek is there- well, under an absurd amount of blankets, but there, if you stop to try and look amongst the wool of at least six different colors.
yes, six if not more blankets.
maybe Void sitting where his lap is supposed to be could help localize Essek.
@CorruptReign // for me itโs more like a mind space, yk ? It feels suffocating coming here, it honestly idk how Iโd feel abt doing on discord โฆ. Itโs a little dry with just two people. I like the banter on tl. I miss it here :(
// please please please help me get my muse back I want to write here so bad ..... I think abt what we could write here all the times but I can't stay too long , it's not the right space for my brain anymore, it feels empty ! despite me knowing that the few people are still here
@CorruptReign // I wish the verse was a little more lively for us to keep writing with everyone else, not just the two of us... I don't mind that, I love writing out boys, but it all feels kind of empty and it pushes me away . I hate how bored it makes me !! I MISS THEM !!!
@sweettbroken // the point is that I want to write Essek and his little plot going on :( I could never get rid of him. I've had him for so long, he's dear to me, him and his family.
I just can't bring myself to stick to him, the TL is so empty . trying to push him in the BG3 verse rn ....
