THE ARCANA: Red Plague Days // On Hiatus

Rest

After all the activities done in the palace, Asra and Muriel head inside Y/n's private room to see them staring out into the distance. The light from the lanterns kiss their skin so beautifully. They looked ethereal. 

 "Y/n? Y/n!"Asra runs towards Y/n. 

 Y/n turns around to be met with a peck on their lips and light hugs. They giggle. Asra places his hands on Y/n's hips, feeling the silky nightwear fit them perfectly.

 "Asra. It's good to see you!" Y/n looks past Asra's shoulders and sees Muriel. 

Y/n looks down and so did Muriel. 

 "I— must leave." Muriel stutters, turning to his heels to leave.

 "No! Please stay." Y/n yells.

 Muriel stops in his tracks and looks at Y/n with sadness. 

"Are you okay? How's the cut?" Y/n walks towards him.

They hold out a hand for Muriel to lay his hand on. He hesitates for a moment and then places his big hands on their tiny hand. Y/n looks straight at Muriel's cut and brushes their thumb over it. Asra's magic lingers on the scar. They smile and realized they were always their for each other. Asra walks towards them and pats Y/n's shoulders.

 "I healed him." Asra said.

 "You should really teach this kind of magic sometime." Y/n said amazed at the work of magic.

 "Soon,love." He said kissing Y/n's cheeks.

 "I'm fine. Sorry.." Muriel blurts out. 

 Y/n looked at Muriel and smiled. They let go of Muriel's hand as he shies away.

 "We did what we can to keep the people we love safe. It's okay. I'm sorry too for the cut." Y/n said.

 "I'm fine." Muriel said shile nodding. 

 "We should get some sleep. You guys look tired." Y/n said smiling. 

 "No need sleep." Muriel said shaking his head. 

 "Oh so you can be sleep deprived?? No. Sleep here with me. You can the take the couches, the windowsill bed and the floor. Whatever you like. Just get some sleep, you two." Y/n said with command. 

 Muriel and Asra still didn't budge. They were contemplating whether to stay or not.

 "If you want, you two can sleep with me in the bed. I don't mind." Y/n said unbothered. 

Asra and Muriel's face quickly turn red as Y/n said that. They laugh at their cuteness.

"Does that count me in??"

 We all know that voice. Julian. 

 Y/n turns around with a smile and is faced with a man with curly auburn hair and grey eyes. 

"Hello Ilya." Y/n greeted with a small bow.

Julian is leaning on the door frame with a tired smile. His hair covering his left eye. Y/n giggled at the sight.

 "Oh no no no. We'll definitely fall and break the bed." Y/n said with a smirk.

This catches Julian off guard as heat rises from his neck to his ears. Y/n laughs at how Julian turns into a tomato. He was blushing madly. Asra laughs and then hugs Y/n not too tight.

"Don't tease him Y/n. His dramatic thoughts will start swarming." Asra said smirking at Julian.

Julian was about to open his mouth until a voice interrupts him.

 "Fine. I'll take the floor. Just need extra blankets." Muriel wanders off to a small corner already finding the extra blankets for his little nest.

 "I'll take the couch then." Julian said while plopping down on the couch and closing his eyes, still having the heavy blush on his cheeks.

 "That leaves you, love." Y/n said with a smile on their face. 

 "Hmm. I'll take the windowsill so that I won't harm that newly healed injury." Asra said while kissing their forehead. 

 "You care too much." They said while getting to bed.

"Someone has to." Asra said settling himself on the windowsill bed and smirking.

 "We all do apparently. Even Muriel does." Julian said from the couch, one eye looking at Y/n.

 "Agreed." Asra said taking off his travel cloak and shirt. 

 Julian does the same but leaves on the shirt. Muriel already covered himself and is asleep already. Y/n gets comfy in their sleeping wear and leans into the comforting darkness called sleep.

"Goodnight.."
