The Found Herondale

Chapter 29

Chapter 29
Raleigh's POV

TW: More uhm lovey-dovey things. Enjoy if you like spice. 
Very spicy. All you Ace beans might want to cover your eyes. :)

I get out of my room to be enveloped in a bear hug by Will.

"Ack-can't breathe-" I say, and he laughs.
"How is everyone?" I ask.

We had just gotten back from the Hell Ruelle.
My emotions are a mess, to say the least.

"Everyone is alright, Ral," Will replies.
I nod.

We both walk down the hallway.
I lean against him for support.
I wonder how Tessa manages this.

She lives with him for all of his life.
Then Will dies...
It'll happen to Jem too. And Mina.

My heart wrenches for Tessa.
I hug Will tightly, surprising him.

"You okay?" He asks, mussing with my golden hair.
I nod, muttering.
"Just thinking."

He nods, his blue eyes scanning me.

"I missed you, in the future," I say.
Will hugs me close.
"I missed you too. As did everyone else."

"You're like my older brother."
Will laughs.
"Well don't say that too loud, missy. I'm old enough to be your father. Someone may think weirdly."
I chuckle.

"You remind me of Ella," He adds.
I look up.
"Really?"

He nods, his blue eyes misting over slightly.
I pat his shoulder.

"Thank you, it's an honour."

He smiles, hugging me when Tessa runs through the door, out of breath.

"What's wrong Tess?" 
We both ask at the same time, making us sound like twins.

Tessa blinks, that throwing off her thought train.
"That was unnerving, William. What I came here was to say that the children 'found' a Mandikhor demon, and needless to say, Lucie, Cordelia and Antony are injured."

We both freeze.

The two of us rush to the infirmary, only to realise that they were both taken to their private rooms. 
I rush up to his room and open the door quickly.

"Antony?" I ask, worried.

He turns to look at me, his dark curls covering one eye.
"Raleigh," He says, his face breaking into a smile. "My Raleigh."

I flush slightly, and climb into his bed, looking over his injuries.
"What happened, Kier?" I whisper.

He sighs, wrapping an arm around my waist gently.
"I may have dove into the river to rescue Cordelia."

I make an O face.
"Antony- you could've died. Why didn't you invite me to the outing? I didn't realise that Magnus had come."

"I know, Ral. You've been so busy lately, I was letting you rest."

I huff, crossing my arms.
"I can't lose you, Kier."

"I'm right here, Herondale," He murmurs, his voice deepening slightly.
I turn and see that he's closer to me.

I blush as he pushes down the covers and leans over me.
"I'm right here," He says again. "I could prove it to you if you want me to?"

I nod.
"Yes, you can."

He gently lifts me up with his arms, taking off my coat and shirt, along with all the fancy suit bearings, until nothing but me is visible to him.
His eyes darken slightly and I look over to make sure the door is locked.

It is.

I feel Antony lean down on top of me, being gentle with his injured body.
His hands travel down my wrists, pinning them to the bed gently. 
He kisses me softly, and I kiss him back, my lips yearning for his.

They leave my lips too quick, kissing down my chest until he reaches one of them.
I make an incoherent noise as he takes it in his mouth, kissing and palming it with his tongue.

"A-Antony-" I stutter, and I see the desire flare in his eyes.

He pins me harder to the bed, and I make more noises as he licks my chest, going back and forth.
"See Ral?" He murmurs. "I'm alive, well, and I am loving the woman I adore."

I blush heavily, and he continues.

We both wake up later, somewhat undressed, Antony holding me softly against him.
He yawns, looking groggy.

He smiles down at me.
"Hey, beautiful."

I flush, and he toys with my bare chest.
He smiles.
"I want to wake up like this every day."

"With both of us semi-dressed each morning?" I reply.
He flicks my nose.
"No, smartass. With you."

I smile softly, moving closer to him.
He wraps his arms around me gently.

"Did the Mandikhor hurt you anymore, Kier?" I ask.
He shakes his head.
"Just the water that damaged me, Herondale."

I nod.

A banging noise sounds on the door and both of us freeze.
"Wake up sleepyheads!" Ashton and Adele yell.

We both hop out of bed and quickly get dressed.

I pick out a nice suit and so does Antony.
We both clean ourselves up and I cover the various noticeable hickeys on my neck with powder.
Antony does too.

We both answer the door and Ashton stands there in a purple suit, with Adele in a silver dress.

"So, was that moaning I heard, Tony?" Adele asks, quirking an eyebrow.
"That was the ventilation," He replies, gulping.
"Ventilation doesn't exist in the early 1900s," Ashton points out.

We both blush.

"Anyways, downstairs we go?" Adele asks.

I nod, and we all head downstairs.
