    Summary

    Around half an hour after getting out of bed, tidying up the living room, and preparing the ingredients to make breakfast, a pot breaks.

    Once Olruggio leaves, after having cleaned up the shards on the wooden floor, Qifrey is very determined to tear through the fence outside.

     

    Or, there is a shadow by the window, and a dead bird stuck on the wiring. The brimhats are close by. He's sure of it.

    Summary

    It starts, as so many things seem to, with Qifrey being absolutely miserable. It's not the ever present ache of his missing eye that used to follow him every waking second, nor the quiet underlying sense of dread that had never left him, cultivated by his own design to keep the silvertree roots at bay before the medics at the healing spire has cut him open and removed it with a precision no one thought possible. No, this was an entirely different sort of misery, one that was so mundane it bordered on comical in contrast to what he had endured.

    Qifrey, quite plainly, is sick.


    Or: Two years after getting rid of the silvertree seed, something new starts growing.

    Summary

    Truthfully, Olruggio hasn’t really minded their situation all that much. He is, generally speaking, quite content with their life and what they’ve built together. He loves the girls and is happy to spend his evenings with Qifrey, even if they don’t do anything. He loves to just be in his company, regardless of what they’re doing. The two of them could spend the entire day scrubbing the floors with a toothbrush and he’d be content.

    So all things considered, he isn’t unhappy with their arrangement. It’s just that some nights it gets to him. He lets thoughts creep in, drifting somewhere beyond the line that was drawn a long time ago. And part of him, deep down, knows that Qifrey wants all the same things he does, but for some reason won’t let the two of them get there.

    So, for once, Olruggio has decided to be selfish. To put his needs ahead of everyone else.

    Tonight he is going to sleep with Qifrey.

    - OR -

    Olruggio finally makes a move on Qifrey and it doesn't end quite how he imagined it would.

    Summary

    “Qifrey.” Olruggio’s voice floats in the air.

    Qifrey turns to look at him, and feels his breath catch in his throat. Olruggio is stunning in the dim light, his skin glowing with embers, his eyes gleaming with strands of heat, with the years shared between them.

    “Qifrey,” he says again, his voice as warm as the fire between them, as familiar as the stars. “I love you.”

    Qifrey’s heart bursts.
