For a moment you think he isn’t going to do it. But after a shaky breath in he closes the distance, softly pressing his lips to yours, sipping your taste in small increments. You experience an electric jolt as his tongue licks the seam of your lips, and you open further to allow him in. His invasion is even slower this time, more willing to explore your secrets. You shiver, twining your tongue with his as a small moan escapes you. The taste of the lemon batter mixes with his naturally chocolaty taste. 

You jerk back as more thunder crashes overhead, closer than before. Tavros does the same, and you see why when he puts two fingers to his tongue and inspects the brown blood coating them. 

“Oh, my gosh, Tav! I’m so sorry!” You put your hands over your mortified face. Trust you to bite him while you kiss. 

“nO, i’M FINE,,, jUTHT GIVE ME A MINUTE AND, uH, iT’LL THOP ON ITH OWN,,,” You giggle a bit. 

“You sound like Sol now. Heh, sorry about that.” Tav smiles, stroking your cheek with his fingertips. 

“uH, hOW ABOUT WE, yOU KNOW, pUT THOTHE CUPCAKETH IN THE OVEN?” You laugh a little harder but comply, helping him to pour some of the mixture into the pans and popping them in the gas-powered oven to cook. Once they have begun baking you look over at your friend. 

“Hey Tav, have you ever seen ‘Highblood of the Circular Finger Adornments’?”

“uHH,,, i CAN’T SAY THAT i HAVE, tHAT IS, tHAT i KNOW OF,,,”

“Awesome. We’ll have a marathon, then, while the storm lasts. I just need to fetch my husktop, so we can watch it in here.” 

“dO YOU, uM, wANT ME TO GET IT? cAUSE, wELL, yOUR COMPUTER IS UPSTAIRS, tHE LAST i KNEW,” You pause, brow furrowing in consideration as you contemplate the dreaded staircase. Should you risk it? 

What the hell. Why not? 

“No, I might as well try on my own. I have to get over them eventually anyway, right?”

“wELL, yOU DON’T HAVE TO RIGHT NOW, bUT, i MEAN, iF YOU REALLY WANT TO TRY THEM i WON’T STOP YOU,,,” You could see the worry in his eyes, despite his brave words. 

“How about we take it slow, and you can help me up them?” you suggest. Tavros breathes a sigh of relief and nods in agreement, then gestures for you to lead the way. You grasp the hand he is holding out on impulse, and pull him with you to the steps. With a deep breath you begin your ascent, and understand why they were such a problem for the troll behind you. It is hard to keep balance on a leg when you can’t feel the floor underneath it, and you have to watch the ground to be sure you were stepping in the right place. Moreover, the foot keeps hitting the corners of the steps, as you have not yet mastered lifting them precisely. At least you have one good leg, though, to balance on while you move the other one. And Tavros as well, who is right behind you on the stairs, holding on to your elbow for extra balance. A roll of thunder sweeps over the hive and you freeze, wobbling a bit as you look up. 

“iT’S OKAY, ____, uM, tHE THUNDER WON’T HURT YOU,,, i PROMISE i’LL BE HERE, yOU KNOW, TO PROTECT YOU,,,” You swallow thickly, resuming your course. You make it up to the top without incident, quickly grabbing your husktop and the movies. You proudly make your way back to the stairs, confident of your performance. Step by step you move back down, the items grasped firmly in one arm while the other balances you with the rail. You are almost to the bottom when a particularly violent crash sounds overhead. Due to the distraction your foot misses the step, and you feel a wave of panic as your sense of gravity changes abruptly. Your eyes close in terror as you fall headlong, and you are only marginally aware of the hand which grabs at your shoulder. You become dizzy from the path through dark space, and hit the floor—surprisingly not on your face, the husktop clutched in your arms.
