Work Text:
Niklas awoke first, as he always did, to Bjall snoring like a rock troll beside him. He sighed and tried not to think about how this might be the last morning like this. Bjall was setting out on his Path later and Niklas wasn’t. Niklas dashed a hand across his eyes and rolled out of bed. He couldn’t be here. He shoved his feet into his boots and stormed towards the door, only to turn and return to the bed. He leaned down and gently, ever so gently, pressed a kiss to the tip of Bjall’s nose. Just in case.
