To see a Darkened Sun

chapter 17

The couple remained silent for a while, simply enjoying the view and the comfort they brought each other. Though Arias was starting to feel vulnerable, his back was exposed to anyone who decided now was a good time for a stroll through the hall and he did not like that.

"Sorry, But could you wait here for a second? I'm just going to adjust a bit." Arias asked, his paranoia finally getting to him.

"Oh, alright." Gwyndolin agreed, lifting himself off of him, though he was clearly already as comfortable as he could ever hope to be and also a little disappointed that he'd have to move so soon.

Arias moved himself over to the window frame, shifted himself sideways and leaned against it. It was surprisingly comfortable and thanks to the thickness of the wall there was no chance of him falling. Gwyndolin on the other hand was not so impressed, crossing his arms and huffing, though despite his clear intention of looking angry, it just made him look cute.

"Arias. How art I supposed to cuddle with thee if thou'rt all the way over there?" He asked, his voice stern.

"By coming over here maybe?" Arias joked, holding out his arms in offering. There was a clear change of heart as Gwyndolin went from pouty to visibly excited by the offer. He did love the hugs Arias gave.

"Very well, that is certainly an offer I cannot decline." He said, lowering his arms and lifting his legs up onto the windowsill. Instead of just scooting over, he sat cross legged and had his snakes slither him over.

Arias was impressed to say the least, a shocked expression on his face as Gwyndolin giggled lightly. Once he reached him, he took no time in falling directly into Arias' wide open arms, happy to be embraced by them again.

So warm and tender, he couldn't believe he'd gone his whole life without something like this. It was so comfortable he could fall asleep in his arms right now, though he refused to, he wouldn't miss out on a second of this.

Arias loved this, it was like something out of a dream, though the whole thing had been like that for a while. But this moment in particular was heavenly. Comfortably cuddling with his lover while basked in the rays of the moon, truly things couldn't be better in this moment, there's nothing that he would change about this.

He looked out to the moon for a minute before looking back to Gwyndolin, lifting his right hand to gently run it through his hair. So soft and silky, unlike anything he'd ever felt before.

Soon Gwyndolin caught himself almost falling asleep and decided something needed to be done. So he carefully rolled around so that he was facing the ceiling instead of Arias' chest. Now laying on top of him, his forehead was just under Arias' chin and Arias' hands were wrapped around his midriff.

"Were you uncomfortable?" Arias asked, worried if he'd accidentally caused his lover some discomfort.

"No not at all. 'Twas more like I was too comfortable. But this is just perfect." Gwyndolin giggled slightly, resting his hands atop Arias'.

"That it is." Arias spoke happily, smiling as he embraced his lover, and the two looked out at the moon and the stars once more.

The bite of the cold air was getting increasingly stronger, and soon his mind was drawn back to his quest, soon it was all he could focus on, as if fate itself was almost forcing him to put everything down and just go. And it was working.
