A/N: I feel like Esidisi needs more appreciation, just like my bby Santana..so I will be making this longer for all of my fellow Esidisi lovers out there.  _(:3 I  L)_

  A few weeks go by, and the obvious signs of the seasons changing, were evident. There was a heavy amount of moisture in the air as the temperature dropped. The sun was hidden behind the grey clouds that made up the sky. Rainy Season. However, it was not winter just yet. This time was used to capture a few animals and skin them for their pelts to  insulate the temple. Not in all rooms, but specifically in the main room and our sleeping areas. Dimas had his share of the animals that we hunted down together, which would be gobbled up happily by the stealthy feline. Just from the touch of the animals' fur told me how thick the blankets needed to be. Though, I wouldn't mind sleeping in a pile of Pillarmen for warmth. I thought to myself and chuckled quietly, holding a few pelts to be sewed up between Santana and I. After our bonding time the evening before, Santana began to appear quite frequently to help me with a few mundane tasks that were not too difficult to complete by myself. I thanked him, and in return he'd follow up with a nod and a miniscule smile. Dimas eyes him curiously, and stalks closely in the shadows of the temple to follow our every move. Kars, and Esidisi saw this and began to call Santana for 'aid' in areas that required his skillset or whatever bullshit they could come up with just so I wouldn't be practically joined by the hip with the redheaded pillarman. This made me smirk inwardly. It's just a matter of time before Wamuu and Esidisi try courting me as well... I'm almost eager to see what they come up with. 

  The blankets were done and of course Kars got first pick of the warmer looking ones before following the chain of command to little 'ol me in the end. I was left with 5 pelts made of the medium sized to small animals stitched in patchwork design and left on my bed for Dimas and I. I gave my lovely feline friend 3 of the 5 since my body tends to overheat when it gets too warm and I did not want to deal with night sweats. He was more than content and began scenting his sleeping area and coming to a stop so that he could conserve the rest of his energy through a mid morning nap. I was left to carry out my tasks, peaceful rainfall audible from outside of the stone temple. Esidisi chooses to emerge from the corridors suddenly, walking towards the main room that I was currently situated in. "And what might you be doing on this rainy day dearest Y/N?" Esidisi questioned. A hint of mischief laced in his words. "Ah, yes I was just about to prepare the main room for Lord Kar's return Master Esidisi." I smiled kindly to the brown skinned male with a brow raised and an attentive expression. Mind processing all of his words with caution for any hidden undertones. He smirked lightly as his slow strides across the room lead him to the generous hoard of pillows. He lays across a few large pillows and heaves a content sigh. After giving the area some finishing touches,  I begin to take my leave.  "Oh Y/N, I'd value your company if you aren't so terribly busy." I still in my movements. Ah...he got me exactly where he wanted me. I thought. I turned to him once again, eye twitching slightly. Playfully grinning, he curled his finger in a 'come here' motion.  "Of course..."  Flashing a tight smile in an attempt to mask my inner turmoil.

  Taking hesitant steps until I finally reach the taller figure, I stand in front of him awaiting further instruction. "Don't look at me like that little one, now sit here." He said casually with a commanding undertone.  I huffed silently and eye the place where he wanted me to sit (which just so happens to be a pillow conveniently placed on his lap) and move to lounge there, albeit with uneasiness towards his true intentions. Once placed in his lap, a muscular arm takes hold of the swell of my hip carefully. I tensed at this but found myself relaxing when the pad of his thumb rubs slow circles into the skin there. My head lifts up shyly to see the expression on his face. Surprisingly, he was not looking at me, but at the opening in the middle of the room where a basin bubbles up with calming rainwater into a beautiful foam only to be sent back into the earth by a drain running through the bottom. All was calm and steady in that moment. Somewhere in my mind I felt- not the seconds passing until my impending doom...but that of safety and security. My eyes began to close as the peace and serenity of the atmosphere around me came crashing down in waves of newfound relaxation. Settling into comfortable silence. All of the stress of performing and completing all tasks in the way the Pillarmen wanted exactly, was in fact daunting. This was a nice change in pace for the day.

    For the next few minutes the rain from outside continued, and made the temperature within the room colder in comparison to before. Goosebumps raised upon my tattooed skin. I did not want to disturb Esidisi, for I feared my discomfort would come off as defiance.  What I did not see was the way he looked down at my shifting figure in realization. "You are getting cold, yes?" I jumped at the sudden statement and looked up to find another amusing, but softer smile etched into the tanned pillarmen's dashing and usually smug face. My cheeks were aflame in embarrassment. "E-eh, yes..master I am feeling a bit colder.." He nods silently and responds thoughtfully, "Might I advise you to nestle into me a bit more so that I may solve this problem of yours, hm?" He's eating this up, but  hey I'm not one to deny any form of cuddling. I thought. "Okay.." was the only thing to pass my lips before he grabs me gently and holds me in his waiting arms with a sudden protectiveness I had never seen from him. In that moment I could feel it. His whole body began to feel warmer and warmer until he became that of a  human space-heater. I could get use to this...  The thoughts of the chilly interior finally dissipated and were replaced with those of content.  "I'm glad you are enjoying yourself, like a little duckling snuggling into their mothers warm and awaiting feathers. I must admit, you do look rather adorable this way... instead of constantly being on edge whenever I am around you." Somewhere lying deep within the hidden emotions of that sentence was a hint of jealousy. Which is also something I had never witnessed from the charismatic being. I was slack jawed and close to short circuiting because of how unexpected and how bold it sounded dripping off of his plump and painted lips. Just what exactly were his feelings towards me? I wondered.
