Chapter Text
The warm sun burned against Two Times skin as they stood next to Amarah. Their thick-fabric robes had them on the urge of overheating in the hot summer heat. they reminded silent as the high priest spoke to the gathered crowd, welcoming the recently made "pure" members of the cult. Two Time stared in boredom, before their eyes locked with someone elses. Whoever it was stared back, a subtle, warm smile that made Two Times hot body feel even hotter and their heart pitter patter in their chest.
After the ceremony, Two Time caught up with the person, a nervous waver in their voice as they spoke:
"I uhm- hi..! Im also one of Amarahs students.. would you like me to show you around his halls?.."
The person nodded gratefully, seemingly lost.
"Oh, that'd be amazing.. uhm, what's your name?"
Two Time sighed in brief relief
"Two Time.. my names Two Time." (i really wanted to carry on the fact Azure gave them that name but couldn't think of anything..)
"Ah! Two Time, my names Azure. It's nice to meet you!"
Two Time smiled sheepishly, nodding as they began to walk, Azure following within a few moments. They couldnt deny the flutter in their chest or the clammy feeling of their sweaty hands nervously clenching and unclenching. They walked with them all the way to the end of the hall "-and thats where the sleeping quarters are, any questions?" Azure paused, eyebrows furrowing as he looked back at Two Time "Wait so we are all in one room?" "oh! yeah." "..interesting" Two Time flushed, what did he mean by "interesting"? They gulped, eyes nervously darting down to their shoes. "ah well- thats all. i'll see you around?" And like clockwork, Azure walked away. Two Time nervously stared ahead as he walked off, heart racing in their now warm chest. They turned to walk off, only to come face to face with Amarah. "Two time." "Ah-! G-greetings Amarah, spawn bless you.." "...Spawn bless you, as well. You look hot, are you ill?" Two time flushed further, was it really that obvious? "oh! oh uhm- no just- hot.. yeah.. its warm in here, hm?" Amarahs gaze hardened, eyes flicking to Two Times nervous fidgeting hands, and the way they reddened further. "..Doubtful, speaking youre standing directly below the vent." ".." Two Time awkwardly shifted, right. They were now hyper aware of the cool air brushing their sweaty body. They looked off to the side, before regaining eye contact. Their hands clenched as they saw Amarahs judging glare. Amarah cleared his throat before speaking sharply "I do pray you arent like this from Azure. That'd be strange, correct?" Two Time felt their heart drop, nails digging into their palms as their hands further clenched shut, sweat coating them. "..Correct, Amarah." "Good, i'll see you during evening prayers, goodbye." And with that, He left Two Time slightly crumbling. Two Time walked into the room, crawling into their bed. Amarah was right.. they're both the same gender, right? Then.. why do they feel this shameful love? Why did they get so warm at how soft and gentle Azures voice was? At how patient they were?.. The spawn wouldnt approve of this, not remotely. They needed to correct themself, and soon. They stared down- Oh for spawns sake.. their hands were slightly bleeding from how roughly they were squeezing them. Thats so damn pathetic. They huffed, deciding the small, crescent shaped marks weren't a concern. Two Time briefly stared before walking out to the garden. maybe theyll get a moment of peace there? Then they saw him. (sorry this is short, im bad at starting off stuff , also, my first work lol!)
