“Stop moving your fucking head,” you growl. Wriothesley sits on a bench, black compression shirt drenched in sweat after his spar in the fighting ring. There’s a cut on his head, just underneath his hairline, that you dab at with some antiseptic and a cotton pad.
You still think that he should have called Sigewinne, just in case, but he was adamant that she didn’t need to bother over ‘something as small as this.’ Granted, he wasn’t hurt too bad— it was just the aftermath of a small accident between him and his opponent in the ring, after all. No broken bones or the like, just some bruises and scuffs. You were just worried over him.
“I’m fine, you know,” he tries to tell you again, trying to duck away from the cotton pad to look you in the eye. You scowl again, grabbing him with a hand on his collarbones, dangerously close to the base of his neck. Wriothesley immediately stills, and you resume.
“I know.” You keep dabbing until the last of the blood is gone, and there’s just the cut left. It’s not even that deep. You doubt it’ll even scar. “Just… just let me worry for you for a little bit, would you?”
He swallows. You can almost feel the movement of it against your hand. You know of his history— of how he’s barely had anyone give a shit about him his entire life. You wonder if he’s ever had anyone patch him up or worry about him like this.
You think of a much younger, much more baby-faced Wriothesley having to bandage his own bloodied knuckles in some dark corner of the fortress of Meropide, and your heart aches.
“Okay,” your Wriothesley finally says, voice quiet. He stares at you in a way that you cannot decipher. In a way that is softer than you’ve ever seen him look at anything before.
Your hand transfers to his shoulder, and one of his own comes to hold it in place. You press a kiss to his nose, then either of his cheeks, then end it sweetly on his lips.
The kiss doesn’t drag on very long— it’s quick and chaste, little more than a peck on the lips. But Wriothesley still smiles at you when you part.
“You sure you’re fine?” You ask, hand cupping his cheek. He leans into your touch the way a cat would lean into the sunlight.
“I’m fine,” he murmurs. Turns his head. Presses a kiss to your palm, locking eyes with you the entire time.
“Okay.” You’re breathless, never breaking eye contact with him. “Okay, that’s good.”
You feel his smile against your skin, then. Tender and sweet. His arm wraps around your waist, drawing you near. His voice is almost a whisper when he speaks again. “Thank you, sweetheart.”
“For patching you up?”
“For caring, baby.”

you know what? appreciation time.
i love editing my little videos, writing my little fanfics, making my little tumblr posts. i love my little community of 6 people who always like everything i make and i recognize their usernames and it makes me smile when i see it in my notifications. i love this place where i'm totally anonymous and yet at the same time really vulnerable and authentic, especially when i write. i love that i get to do this. i love that what i do gets to mean something to someone.
i grew up surrounded by fandom culture and though it has its ups and downs i really do love this little corner of the internet where we all get to be kids on a playground, showing each other our favorite toys and playing make-believe.

so many stress dreams abt japan. nonstop about the place, other people. & then, tonight , unprompted. also a nightmare abt going back 2 japan, waiting for something to arrive at the ticket booth and then....... [redacted] is there. that was all. that is the lucky break the universe throws me. a dream abt [her]
& i was so happy i lifted her off her feet...... way more physical than i ever dared to be in reality but i couldn't help it. we were laughing, it was good. she told me she had messaged me about coming (when i went last year i thought abt doing the same but what were the chances of being in a third country at the same time...... and i wouldn't want to meet her the way i am now) but in the dream it was fine. i was strong and she complimented me. my hair was long,,,, or at least grown out to a point that doesn't make me wanna die. i checked her message while she got her luggage and it said a lot of things & then... how (unfortunaly) she was back together with her husband too. she was married when i first met her that didn't stop whatever silly romance flirting we were having it was just fun. now she tells me that almost as a warning, a lament, there was a time where We Could Have Been but now all it can be is an affair again. i get the point. i know i missed my chance in every sense which is why my life is the way it is right now (and im making it worse by typing rn) anwy. i was waking up out of the dream then but kept desperately going back, caught in a loop just to see her face, her smile. i am still so smitten with her & i still would not mind being her affair. lol <3
