The Tower was a wicked, dangerous place. The higher the rank someone established for themself, the bigger the chance they had already lost a significant part of their humanity.
"Mhmm…," a faint whine echoed as another body snuggled close to yours. It belonged to Khun Eduan, the holder of the 6th place in the Tower, one of the most vicious warriors alive.
In his free time, also a massive baby.
"I'm cold," he complained and wrapped his arm around your waist. Shifting to a more comfortable position, Eduan settled for resting his head on your chest. Even from that distance, you could smell the distinctive fragrance of expensive wine on his breath.
"You've been drinking again, haven't you?" The question was more rhetorical than anything else.
Khun let out an offended gasp.
"Me? Never!"
You rolled your eyes and placed your hand on his head, absentmindedly brushing through the silky hair with your fingers. Eduan had always been a clingy drunk, so his behavior didn't shock you. The playful atmosphere morphed into cozy silence, allowing you both to let your guard down and rest.
Just when you were about to fall asleep, your stomach rumbled.
"Eduan, move. I need to grab a snack," you told him, which the almighty warrior decided to ignore. Even after you tried shoving him off., he didn't budge an inch.
You could feel the shit-eating grin on his face without looking.
"Eduan, stop acting like a child. I'm hungry."
He clung to your body with more strength than before.
"And I'm touch starved. Deal with your problem yourself; I'm not going anywhere."
His behavior was beginning to get on your nerves.
"You have three seconds to get off me, or you'll end up on the floor. Your choice," you stated in a clearly annoyed tone. Eduan shifted slightly but remained glued to your side. "One… Two…"
A giant weight had suddenly lifted from your body. A miracle.
"Okay, go get your stupid food. That's still not very kind of you, dear," Eduan complained.
You stood up and rewarded him with a forehead kiss for his sacrifice. Sometimes food had to be prioritized over love.
