chamomile

Summary:

editing some of my fictober prompt fills into proper drabbles.

Geralt had long thought that chamomile was an unpleasant and cloying scent.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

Dandelion squirms, pressing closer against Geralt. It’s summer; the warmth of another body isn’t pleasant, but Dandelion’s clingy sleeping habits are worth his companionship. Geralt wraps his arms around the poet, who wriggles before going limp across Geralt’s chest, chamomile scented curls tickling his nose.

He had found chamomile to be an unpleasant, cloying scent, but as it became associated with the comforting weight of Dandelion’s body against his, Geralt began to mind it less and less.

He falls asleep quickly, without his customary racing thoughts, but can’t help making a show of frowning when he wakes, sticky with sweat.

Notes:

I had read somewhere that chamomile can be used to lighten your hair. Dandelion goes to lengths to conform to 13th century beauty standards with his curly golden blonde hair.
