my favorite warrior

my baby

Portia sat carefully stitching up vulgora's wounds, humming softly to distract the pontifex as they squirmed a bit.

"Stop moving, I could hit a nerve" she snapped a bit as the shorter individual jerked away a bit. They sighed a bit and glanced up at the redhead.

"Maybe if you had alcohol I would be able to numb the pain" vulgora retorted as they made eye contact with their partner. A sly smirk spread across the pontifex's face. "Or a kiss would be nice"

"After I finish. Then we'll make dinner"

"But pash, Im injured!"

"Youre almost always injured. You're gonna help like it or not."

"Fine,but I think its an idiotic move on your end to trust me with anything sharp." The pontifex huffed as they felt the handmaid's lips brush their shoulder. They relaxed slightly as they turned to face the woman with a gently expression.

Portia laughed slightly as she stood. Her face never faltered as she glanced over at the noble in her cottage. She sighed a bit and went to wash her hands. She started to hum an old song she remembered from her childhood. She soon felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her waist. She smiled softly and rested a delicate hand on the others. "Why so affectionate dear?"

"Because I want to be. Can't a solider thank their nurse?" Vulgora laughed softly as their partner leaned into their arms.

Portia sighed softly before resting her head in top of the others with a smile. She absent-mindedly rubbed the others rubbed the back. She chuckled softly as they kissed her neck. "You rascal!"

Vulgora only laughed as they went to the door. They sighed softly as they adjusted their shirt and overcoat as they stared at portia with a soft smile, a rare sight on the courtiers face. "I'll be home by dinner. Then we could possibly head to my estate over the weekend"

"I'll think about it" she chuckled as she went to stand next to them. She places a soft kiss on the others lips and opened the door. "Dont come back here with another open wound you hear?"

"No promises my dear" they chuckled. They lightly reached for the other's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Remember you're my baby"

"And your my lover man" she smiled as the other started towards the palace. She watched the other go with a solemn expression before turning to start working on her house work.
