Chapter 19: Stuck

The sun was shining through the windows of the bedroom, trees swaying the slight breeze. Your soft breathing and steady heartbeat putting his mind at ease, now if only he could move.

That spell you cast kept him in place, he couldn't even sit up without being forced back down. In a feeble attempt to get started on his day, he tried to travel through Vilokan but no matter how far he walked he ended up back here. Now it was already eight, he knew you liked to sleep but this was utterly ridiculous! He couldn't even send out his shadow without it snapping right back to him.

Feeling you move and mumble to yourself turning away from him, exactly what he didn't want. He needed to get on with his day, already running late on some tasks he would normally get done.

"Y/n?" Placing a hand on your arm and shaking you slightly.

"What?" Yawning and turning back to face him.

"If you wouldn't mind removing the spell you cast?" A Cheshire grin appearing on your face as you shuffled closer, placing your hand on his chest.

"What if I don't feel like it?" He opened his mouth to say something but you laid your head on top of him and spoke instead, "you're a lot skinnier than before, have you been eating right?" Of all things, that's what you were worried about?

"Yes, this is just the form I got when I came here," hearing you hum and lift yourself off him, "and I have places to be today so you better feel like it." A short laugh leaving your lips as you began drumming your fingers on him.

"Exolvo." As soon as you uttered that word, he took a deep breath. He wasn't normally so patient, but for you, he'd wait. Not much longer though.

"I thought you would never wake up." Sitting up and taking your hand in his.

"Couldn't wait to leave again?" Now that was just harsh, what kind of demon did you take him for?

"My love you know I always come back to you." Pulling you to him he took note of your cheeks lightly dusted with red, how it took you a moment to relax. What he gave for this moment, to be with you like this.

Alright, enough of that. Leaving you he stood up, changing into his usual attire with magic. Watching as you fell onto your side, turning onto your stomach and using your elbows to keep you up.

"Where are you going?" Now you were just tempting him to laze about all day. He had things he needed to do first, then he could give you his undivided attention.

"Back to the hotel." At that, you got out of the bed heading into the closet.

"That reminds me, I have to bring Mim to the hotel today." Coming back out with a few dresses in hand, sending them to who knows where in flashes of light. Placing his hands on your shoulders and putting you into something a bit more...red.

"Matching outfits?" Craning your neck to see the back and adjusting the bow on your side.
