〝  oh please,  you love me too much to do that~ ＂ came his teasing response while softly squishing at umbriel's cheeks〝  you're too cute not to tease shortcake,  just like a little grumpy cat ＂ the ravenette reasoned,  his gaze visibly softening as he stared at the shorter blond

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @meronty ꓹ⠀⠀‘softie’?  well,  perhaps there was quite the change with umbriel's demeanour.   however,  it still embarrassed him,  since it was factual⸺  thus the rosy hue spreads across one's pale features.   making it known.⠀ "  do you want me to strangle you?  "

〝  i could always request for some vacation time.  i'm sure my father wouldn't mind if i did seeing how hard-working i always am﹗ ＂

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @meronty ꓹ⠀⠀"  but..  what about your job here?  you can just leave?  "

〝  now your prince charming is here to sweep you off your feet~﹗ ＂ sebastian happily said with a cheeky grin before holding the fatuu in his arms bridal style〝  you should commission and outfit too so we can match.  i think you'll look amazing in whatever you wear ＂

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @meronty ꓹ⠀⠀"  mhm.  it..  suits you.  "⠀ to such an admittance,  his tone is hushed and rather abashed.   however evident that the fatuu was pleased to see him elegantly dressed.

〝  hmmm,  close your eyes first﹗ ＂ the ravenette said after a few small grumbles of contemplation,  his face flushing a soft hue of red as he seemed to fidget with whatever he was hiding behind him,  most likely the aforementioned present he planned on giving umbriel

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @meronty ꓹ⠀⠀"  no i won't,  i promise..  "

〝  i win~ ＂ the ravenette happily said while littering victorious kisses along umbriel's face as he seemed to purr in delight at seeing the other's squirming finally stop〝  let's just stay in bed all day ＂

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @meronty ꓹ⠀⠀"  wha--?!  hey─-  "⠀ meanwhile,  umbriel struggled to escape from his secured embrace.  even with all the squirming and pushing,  it had just gotten him tired.⠀ "  damnit..  i give up...  "

〝  then i'm not letting you go ＂ the ravenette stubbornly rasped due to still being tired as he continued to cling onto the fatuu.  he seemed to have comfortable suggled himself against the other as his arms remained wrapped securely around umbriel's waist

〝  awe,  the compliment's appreciated﹗ ＂ he cooed while lightly pinching the other's flushed cheek

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @meronty ꓹ⠀⠀his face contorted,  however the flushed cheeks are still unfortunately present as ever.⠀ "  nevermind you look like shit.  "⠀ he turned.

〝  the blush on your face says otherwise~﹗ ＂

the ravenette's eyes lightly rolled at hearing the other's request〝  sorry,  but i'm off the menu until after dinner ＂ he teasingly replied back before lifting one of the cooled off bacon strips and lightly pressed it against umbriel's lips〝  now do you want it to be more crunchy or chewy﹖ ＂

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @meronty ꓹ⠀⠀"  yeah sure..  "⠀ drawled umbriel,  whose lips now curve into a smile.⠀ "  could i also have the cook?  "⠀ he pulls back to briefly stare at him.

sebastian couldn't help but snort aloud in amusement at umbriel's method of clinging onto him.  his hands promptly let go of the other once he was sure the fatuu remained secure before going back to making the both of them breakfast〝  yes sir.  would his majesty like some pancakes along with bacon﹖ ＂ he jokingly questioned

with a smile,  the ravenette took off his coat and placed it over umbriel's head as if it was supposed to act as some sort of cloak.  well,  it actually made the blond look even smaller than he already was taken how oversized sebastian's coat was on him,  but it's the thought that counts in the end right﹖〝  not if they don't notice you~ ＂

@meronty ｜⠀  "⠀then you'd be targeted.  that's just insane.⠀"

〝  me hiding you from those colleagues of yours would honestly be easier than hiding myself ＂ he replied while eyeing the two fatui that stood not too far away from them

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @meronty ꓹ ⠀ ⠀"  no?   it's not.  shut it..   i'm just upset.   and you keep making fun of me you jerk,   naturally i'll get all flushed out of anger.  "⠀ seriously,  this guy—   he'll be the reason that he's going to pop a vessel.   with a huff,   and a turn as umbriel crossed his arms all grumpy.

〝  you're proving my point right now umbri~  look,  your face is even starting to get all red too﹗ ＂

@meronty ｜⠀  "⠀!!⠀"   that was a bit offending,  well,  more so..  *infuriating*.  perhaps that was why he looked a bit livid,  since it's quite true.   "⠀i'm not—  never.⠀"

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @meronty ꓹ ⠀ ⠀"   ...  "⠀ the white haired fatuu kept comforting the latter in the process of his troubled mind.   [  ∙∙∙  ]   it must have been such a traumatic nightmare..   about him.⠀ "  i'm never leaving your side,  basti.  "⠀ he leans over and kisses his cheek,   while hands promptly soothed his back.

the ravenette buried his face against umbriel's neck as if trying to hide himself from the world.  his breathing slightly shaky as he tried calming down before speaking〝  . . . you're already doing enough by being here.  just,  don't leave me alone  . .  please-＂

@meronty ｜⠀  "⠀mhm...  but everything's fine,  i'm right here with you.⠀"   these dreams he has been having is becoming frequent  ..  and umbriel can't help but wonder why.   has he been stressing over such things?   he's not entirely sure.
            
            his fingers clutches to the fabric of his cloth,  the embrace tightening from a protective nature.   "⠀i really wish i could just erase those awful dreams..   i'm not used to seeing you like this.   [..]   sorry.⠀"   thus a hand pats over his back.
