@loyalbones asked : 👫 // for all the ships we have!!!

PROMPTED.

Iarla + Kaen :

Iarla is one of the few people Kaen has felt SAFE with ; I mean , genuinely , safe. The type of safe where you know nothing bad can come after you , where you know the other person won’t think any worse of you no matter how bad things get. Kaen has been able to show Iarla the absolute WORST of themself ( the real low-lows ) , but the fae still sticks by them. That sort of trust – that sort of love – is irreplaceable.

I don’t think anyone said ‘I love you’ first. I think they both blurted it out and said it at once so it came out as a mash-up of babbling and fumbled apologies alongside the whole ‘no- no- you can go first- wait , oh shit , do you mean it ?’ You know. Like real idiots. I wager there was lots of crying involved , too.

The heart-flower Iarla gave them has a place of reverence ( as reverent as it can get at least ) settled in the kitchen window ; the place they pass by everyday without fail and can see all the time when they cook or clean or try to get crunch-time studying done at the table. Kaen didn’t have to , but they transmuted an ornate vase to put it in ; a delicate glass-like creation of sprawling rainbow splinters and fractals that contrasts with the bright hue of the bloom ( something to represent the both of them together ) .

Iarla , noticing Kaen always tends to linger with his scarf , has given them one of their own! It’s very similar , if not for a different color palette in the threads. However , he made sure it smells just like him for peak comfort-value. They wear it ALL THE TIME , even in the middle of June.

Cassidy + Kaen :

Cassidy is more than aware the faun sings for a living ( knows well of their ambitions for true stardom ) . But it was purely Kaen’s idea to give him private songs. . . To give him private DANCES .

Sometimes when Kaen is lonely back in their apartment , they’ll call Cassidy. Just to hear him. Even if it’s just sleepy little mumbles on his part , it’s still enough to help them relax again.

Likewise , over time as Cass realized he was more attached to the faun than he bargained for , Kaen became a little dose of sun and wilderness ; it reminded him of a simpler , better place , maybe. If he gets stressed , and they’re around , he’ll ask them to come to him and keep nearby. No feeding necessary , it’s just for company ( or to sit on his lap while he works for the sake of being near ) .

Cassidy has a VERY FAINT burn mark towards the right side of his chest , a rather dull imprint in the shape of a searing hand dragging slightly downwards over chilled skin. A reminder of times when things got a little too HOT for comfort. Kaen , every time they see it , continues to apologize for it even though they’ve already been forgiven.

Dahlia + Kaen :

Has Kaen slept with Dahlia ? You’d be hard-pressed to figure it out , neither of them seem inclined to confess to it. Shared glances , absconding away to other unoccupied rooms , SEVERAL LOUD NOISES— No , I don’t think it happened. I think Dahlia was just hungry ( and they often seem hungry when the faun comes around ) .

Kaen doesn’t need the venom to feel pleasure from Dahlia’s bites , the pain naturally gives them a sense of it. They’ve learned that the vampire l i k e s hearing them moan and hum when a feeding happens , and they’re more than happy to oblige , uncaring who happens to overhear. The venom , however , does indeed make it WORSE ( you know what this means ) .

Kaen wanted to bite Dahlia back to “assert dominance”. . . It didn’t go as planned considering Dahlia very much retaliated ( that didn’t stop Kaen from doing it several consecutive times ) .

Kaen REALLY enjoys playing up the “hunting” game with Dahlia , most especially when they seem eager to feed. They made the mistake o n c e of keeping too loose a hold on the faun and now they consider it their go-ahead to do this all the time. Although typically outmatched , Kaen is invested ( as well as Dahlia ) , always tending to be riled up by the time they’re found , boldly playing the ‘please , don’t hurt me!’ card when Dahlia SMELLS the opposite of fear on their skin.

Mu + Kaen :

It took some patience and a little encouragement , but Kaen eventually came around to Mu and their guardianship ( after all , where else were they gonna go ? ) . I reckon they opened up more at first to his familiar which no doubt made him smile as he observed quietly from afar.

Once Kaen was comfortable enough with Mu , they accompanied him EVERYWHERE , even asking if they could do more for him ( not that it seemed he needed much help , but they wanted to repay his kindness somehow ) . When he said they didn’t have to do anything of the sort , they STILL went ahead and ransacked the kitchen in the wee hours of the morning , making him breakfast. That , then , became their routine. Early wake-up. Homemade breakfast from your doting ward.

Kaen has definitely climbed into Mu’s bed whenever they had a bad night. Which has increasingly become less frequent the longer they stay with him , so that’s PROGRESS !

Kaen has also referred to Mu as their father and I’m not going to stand here and let you tell me he’s tried to correct them after learning what an awful dad Cernunnos turned out to be.
