YOU ARE THE FLOWER IN THE DISTANT PEAK ,
AND I WILL SCALE THE STEEP SLOPES TO LOVE YOU ━━━ morax.
AND WHEN THE STENCH OF THE SEA AND THE ABSENCE OF GREEN / ARE THE DEATH OF ALL THINGS THAT ARE SEEN AND UNSEEN / NOT AN END, BUT THE START OF ALL THINGS THAT ARE LEFT TO DO.
━━━ wasteland , baby ; hozier.
Morax was the first to wake in the early hours of the morning, the scent of petrichor pervading his senses followed by the faint lull of jasmine. Then comes the warmth and the softness, one his claws unconsciously dig into with a groan shuddering out of his chest.
It was you, slumped against the wall, lost in your own dreams and too tired to notice and the sight makes him swell with a conflicting mess of emotion. Then comes the pain, the aftermath of his fever coming to tear at him, at his limbs and his tendons till he ceases his stubborn movement and lets his body fall slack.
He does not understand your intent, but the faint memory of that familiar care against a muddled haze stills his tongue and his suspicion. Your muffled words, your hand in his, everything, blurred away yet so clear.
Humans were strange, so fragile, so determined...
"Fool..." he murmurs. The last of his strength is used to draw the blanket over your shoulders. "But thank you, nonetheless." Sleep calls him again, and Morax shuts his eyes.
The jasmine lingers, stronger than most. He lets it swallow him whole.

THIS WORK CONTAINS MENTIONS and some depictions of violence and injuries as well as isolation ( in the reader's case ) and death. the later chapters also contains smut and mature content. minors, do not interact with that, please. this used to be a oneshot so the division of chapters and pacing might feel a little off to a lot of people. i'm sorry about that.
