Work Text:
- Alador could you cover repairing my arm? Its not working again? - Eda asked, leaving her abomination-robotic arm on Alador desk.
- Yes - Alador nooded, whispering his answer.
- Thank you! - Eda said, leaving his workroom as fast as she storm there.
- Alador can you try to make more of fake palismans? They are really useful when fighting but get easly destroy. - Raine asked, looking at Alador working on something big.
- Got it -
- Thank you Alador - Raine said, leaving to take care of something else.
- Alador, I have some documents for you to cover - Lillith said, leaving him alone without even asking to take care of it.
Alador took a deep breath and start working on a lots of things in the same time.
- Whatever is it, I will take care of it - Alador said, hearing another footsteps of someone going to his workshop. Feeling something warm on his hair, he looked at person who enter his room.
- Take a break Hack -
- You are the last person who i espected to say that to me - Alador said, when Darius took his hand with hot tea from Alador hair and put it on the table next to them.
- Why is that? - Darius asked, sitting in front of Alador.
- Do I need to explain? - Alador asked and Darius chuckled.
- No, I'm not dumb. I know what you mean. But really, your efficiency at work will only drop if you don't take break. -
Alador looked at flowers petals in his cup of tea. - Flower tea? - Alador asked, interrupting Darius's speech.
- We don't have anything other then that. But its good - Darius explaning, taking first sip from his cup. Alador watched a little more moment his tea and took sip of it too.
After this, both of them just sit there in silent. Alador was too suprised about how Darius act. At the beggining when he discovered they will work together, he was mad. But now he... took care of him? Why was that? Just becauce they had the same goal? To get everyone safe and sound. Alador looked at Darius. As if you looked at him, he looked different after all. Alador leave a half way done tea on desk and stand up. He walked over to the Darius and without asking, hugged him. He knows that Darius may push him back, but exact opposite happend. Darius putted his tea on the table and hugged Alador back. Knowing that Alador will quickly get tired by hugging when standing, he pulled him closer to sit on him. Alador was stunned by this kind of action. He stared at Darius when past abomination covenhead just hided his face in his neck.
- Darius? - Alador asked quietly staring at him.
- Shut... please... not now.. give me some time... Like this - Darius whispered, when his hands tightened on his clothes.
Alador stares at him in shook. He never saw Darius in that state. Or maybe he did... but dont remeber it clearly. It was after his mentor dead. And just two weeks after their friendship broke. Alador started strokeing Darius' back, while watching him.
- Darius... Im sorry for leaving you back then... I - Alador started but got cut off.
- I said shut... - Darius said, with voice that siad that he was crying. Alador looked at him and got his face out of his neck. Darius was indeed crying.
- What? Never saw me crying? - darius asked, trying to look calm as always.
- I... actually never saw you cry. So yes. - Alador said, wiping the tears from Darius's eyes.
Darius looked at him in silent. Alador did the same. They just stared at eachother eyes, when Darius sometimes wiped his face with his hand.
- Darius... I'm sorry for - Alador started again but Darius covered his mouth.
- I know what you want to say. Dont say that, I already forgive you for that. Now, the importat thing is... that we lived. That we survived a drainning spell. -
- Espeaclly you, dear Coven Head. - Alador said that made Darius smile.
- Yeah... But it wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for you and Emira. Emira healed me in time to keep me alive. Thanks her for it please. - Darius said, smiling at Alador.
- I will - Alador said back, smiling too.
- Now, did you had a lots of works? Need a help? - Darius asked, breaking this little moment.
- Yea, right. Can you help me? -
- This is why I asked. What I need to do? -
- Just help me here - Alador said, standing up and begging to work again, this time with Darius help.
- And one last question... Do you care about me? - Alador asked.
- Always. All the time -
