    Summary

    “Qifrey?” Olruggio steps closer, voice pitching up in concern. Qifrey can feel the weight of his gaze, ever-inspecting, angling his head to try to meet his eye. “You a’right? Did somethin’ happen?” Even exhausted, Olruggio doesn’t miss a trick.

    Qifrey peers out from behind his hand to find those lovely eyes, as enchanting as ever, wide, searching, worried. And he knows exactly how this series of events will proceed, with clockwork precision, from a hundred other conversations that began just like this. Roles rehearsed, lines scripted.

    A half-formed growl churns in the back of Qifrey’s throat. I will not do this to him tonight. Seething with frustration, and something else unnamed, he finds himself moving before Olruggio can delve further, and before whatever remains of Qifrey’s better judgement can intervene. He closes the small distance into Olruggio’s space, hands unyielding upon his shoulders to press him back, back, until he’s pinning him against the wall of the walkway.

    Summary

    Even so, he could go to another room and grant himself a small moment of reprieve, but Qifrey’d still find himself in a space Oruggio’s carefully decorated and breathed warmth into. He’d still find himself in the embrace of the clothes Oruggio’s cleaned and prepared for him. He’d still continue living in the skin that was touched with reverence by a man, whose love he’s utterly undeserving of.

     

    He loves you. And this is what we chose.

    Summary

    Qifrey doesn’t have a way of measuring the time, can’t pinpoint exactly how many seconds or minutes pass between the moment of him waking up and the man resting his head against Qifrey’s shoulder doing the same.

    All Qifrey knows is that he wakes first. If he says something, if he moves, Olruggio does too. But if he lies absolutely still, breath shallow as a held note, his friend stays asleep a little longer, impossibly near, warm and alive and infinite and perfect.

    But the moment can’t last forever. Eventually, Olruggio always wakes.

    ~

    Stuck in a dungeon with no way out, Qifrey gets to wake up with Olruggio resting against his shoulder — and gets to lose him, over and over, time and time again.
