Beyond Loyalty: Your Forbidden Feelings

You pound like crazy on his door. Behind it you hear him grumbling but coming, it doesn't stop you.

"Maker! WHA-"

You don't let Azrel finish his phrase and throw yourself into his arms, hugging him with all your might. He catches you with a gasp. You grasp his top and reach for his lips desperately. Confused, he manages to get a hold of you and pacify you enough.

"Roween, maker what happened? You're terrifying me."

"Azrel, oh Azrel... I had the most terrifying nightmare. You died at the hand of an unknown killer. I was left alone..." You lie clinging to him.

You dig your nails into his chemise, frantically trying to reach his lips, but he successfully avoids them.

"Hold on, Roween. You're in some sort of shock. Come inside, I'll prepare you a hot drink." He encircles your shoulders and brings you inside his penthouse. The door closes shut behind you.

You're waiting on the sofa when he brings you a fuming cup of hot cocoa.

"With whipped cream, just as you love it."

A contrite smile appears on your mouth, it's true you love your cocoa like this, you're touched by him remembering this insignificant detail. You blow the steam away, and take a sip. You appear calmed down, but interiorly your turmoil still rages on. He laughs as a pinch of cream is on your nose, he gently swipes it up and licks it off his finger. You chuckle and he wraps his arm around your shoulders, pulling you closer.

"Now that you're calmed, tell me what happened." He says softly.

"I dreamed you were eviscerated. Under my eyes." You lie again, eyes down into your fuming cup.

You like his attentions and his affection but you're here for a reason, and he already evades you two times. He squeezes you gently with a chuckle.

"I am right here, my pearl. Everything is okay, you're not alone. If anything were to happen to me, our friends would be here for you." He kisses your temple.

"That's reassuring." You answer with empty words.

"That's what a community is for!" He continues laying his head on yours.

You quickly finish your cup, burning your tongue in the process.

"Now that I'm calmed down, can I have a kiss?" Hurry up, you need confirmation.

He snorts, grinning broadly.

"My, my. You're really demanding today, was it that bad?"

You snuggle against him, look up to him with puppy eyes and use your most honeyed voice.

"Yes, it was! A kiss would really make me feel better..."

He rubs the tip of his nose with yours.

"Yes, my pearl."

Finally, your lips meet in a tender kiss. You close your eyes to savor it. Your heart jolts. He changed toothpaste, you note, he caresses your cheek and you grasp his shoulder. You part, forehead against forehead.

"Feeling better?" He coos.

"Yes!" Without warning you rise up from your station, destabilizing him. "I'll go now."

He looks at you with round eyes.

"You... You're gonna go like that? Get a kiss and flee like a thief?"

You wink at him and blow a kiss.

"I have the assurance you're well and good now, and I have work." You run away touching your lips.
