kestrel and arin? omg i don't know if you do them, but i remembered you read the books a while back?? but anyway -> beside a fire + i can't stay away from u
No, I had never written them before >w
It turned into a Band AU jsyk ;)
Rated E ofc
Arin washere. Kestrel felt her lungs collapse at the sight. Of all the people to takethe same road she took… Arin had to be the one.
His silvereyes found hers and she looked away, too fast to not be noticed. She hated him.She wanted him. She didn’t hate him at all. She hated… She hated that he’drefused to join her band, she hated that he’d claim not to sing and then… Andthen when Roshar offered to be his manager, Arin had accepted. And sang.
Like mothdrawn to candle, her eyes flickered to him again. His eyes were still on her.Beautiful, damning.
“Miss?” Thereceptionist handed her a key and she pretended to ignore Arin’s presence, “I’msorry it took so long, with the snow storm our hotel is practically full andour servers are down. Second floor, and please, breakfast is on the house.” Hersmile was practiced, perfected to ruffle angry feathers with free breakfastsand whatnot. Kestrel took the key and fled to her room, dying to put as muchspace between her and Arin as she could.
--
“What areyou doing here?” She hissed, pulling her night robe closer to her body. She hadjust left the bath, her wet hair clinging to her shoulders.
Arin stoodby the door, bags in one hand and in the other… a key? He looked at her inutter confusion, his eyes going from her to the door to the key and back toher. “This… is my room, Kestrel.” He uttered slowly.
“Like hellit is! I paid for it!” She stomped her way to him and yanked the key out of hishands. Those hands…
Shakingthose thoughts away, Kestrel inspected the key only to throw it back at himwith a breathed curse, “They gave us the same room!”
Arinswallowed down and turned away, “I’ll go back down and ask for another room…”His voice was flat, devoid of emotion. But Kestrel knew that tone. Flat withArin wasn’t emotionless. It was him covering his hurt.
Her angersizzled away, “No, Arin. You can… you can stay. The bed is large enough for thetwo of us anyway.”
“It’s notrouble.” He insisted.
“Theirsystems are down or glitching, I’m not sure; you won’t get a room any timesoon. You can stay. I don’t… I don’t mind.” She said and turned away, hoping hehadn’t seen the way her cheeks heated up with the idea of sharing a bed withhim.
He noddedand shut the door, “Is… Is the water hot?” He said after a while, pointing ather wet hair.
“Yes. Youcan go.”
Arin tookhis things and locked himself in the bathroom, leaving Kestrel breathless andangry at the universe’s sense of irony. Arin had become her rival in the bandcontest, when all she wanted was to sing and play with him. And then Arin hadbecome the target of her moods after her poor little heart hadn’t been able tohandle his rejection. Foolish Kestrel! Why did she have to go and fall for the Herranisinger? The young man that refused to mingle more than necessary, and yet hadsomehow wormed his way into her heart. Long nights spent playing Bite and Stingwith him, sharing thoughts and opinions, and then it just… happened. One dayshe looked at him across the university lawn and her heart had simply… ran tohis. It didn’t go well though, as Arin was quick to refuse her heartfeltrequest.
“I supposethe staff can afford mixing up keys but they can’t forget the hot water, huh?”Arin said, his joke breaking through her thoughts as he stepped out of thebathroom. A cloud of steam followed him, partially covering his frame for amoment. Kestrel wished it away, and then she wished it back.
He hadn’tgotten dressed, he’d just put on a towel. Damn him, damn him to whichever sortof hell he believed in.
Arin caughther eye and a crooked grin played on his lips, “See something you like?”
Cheeksburning, Kestrel looked away and back at the fireplace, “Shut up and getdressed.”
“Or…?” Histeasing tone took her back to their midnight sessions, when he would tease herabout her droopy eyes and her long yawns. When he would try to get her to slipup and give up her game. When it was just her and Arin and nothing else existedor mattered.
“You’llsleep on the floor.” It was an empty threat and both knew it.
Arin’schuckle lasted only for a moment before it died out and his voice turned roughand serious, “I’m sorry, Kestrel.”
She didn’treply. He sighed. And then she heard his footfalls, approaching, walking toher.
“Kestrel…”He reached for her but then dropped his hand.
“You saidyou didn’t sing. You wouldn’t sing.Public stuff and that. And then…” Her voice shook with anger and heartbreak,“You get your own music act!” She turned to him and saw with wicked pleasurehow her words hit him like a slap, “If you didn’t want to sing with me, youcould have said so. Not lie! I thought… I thought there were no lies betweenus, Arin.”
This timehe did reach for her, catching her face between both hands in a hold that wasso gentle Kestrel almost thought she was dreaming it, “I’m sorry, Kestrel. Ireally am, but… I couldn’t sing with you.”
“Why?”
Arin lookedaway for a moment, fighting with something inside him. Then, “Because… Becauseyour father threatened me at the time.”
“What?” Shehissed, angry flames licking her insides. How dare he? How?! He cut ties withher and still had the nerve to decide who she could... hang with?!
He shookhis head, “It was more of an excuse than anything else, Kestrel. I… I didn’tfight him, I didn’t fight his threat because… If I stayed, if I said yes… Iwouldn’t have become just your band mate. I wouldn’t be able to be just that.”
She shookher head, or tried to, his strong hands still holding her close, “I don’tunderstand…”
“I can’tstay away from you, Kestrel. I wouldn’t have been able to do it if we spentevery moment together for the band.”
A waterysmile played on her lips, “You’re an idiot, Arin…”
He frowned,“What?”
“You saidno because you were afraid of getting involved with me?” She took a bold step,“Afraid of what could happen?”
“I wasafraid of hurting you, Kestrel.”
“How wouldyou have done it? When I too can’t stay away from you!” She made to grab himbut her hands stopped a breath away from his chest as she remembered he had noclothes on. But then, she threw caution to the wind and placed them on hisskin, carefully memorizing the way his deep golden skin felt so right under herpalms. Arin shuddered at her touch, but made no move to stop her. She said, “Whyare you so brilliant with everything but when it comes to us you just run awaylike a scared little kid?”
A sheepishsmile grew on his lips, joining that little blush that darkened his cheeks, “Iguess you throw me off. With your cunning mind and your beautiful self…”
“Arin…” Shebreathed.
“Yes,Kestrel?”
“Kiss me,Arin. Kiss me and I’ll forget how much of an idiot you have been these past fewmonths. Kiss me. Kiss me…” She begged, fingertips grazing his skin and the hardmuscle right underneath. Her body went into a dizzy dance just like that, hersenses dying to drown in Arin. Arin, Arin, Arin. Everything in her whisperedand screamed and rasped his name. She was so drunk in him already, and allthey’d done was gingerly touch each other.
“Kestrel…”His was thick and desperate, her name hanging in the air between them for onebrief moment that seemed to last forever. Forever and ever. Until… Until shefinally felt his lips touch hers.
A breath.
One longand deep breath.
As if she’dbeen drowning until this very moment, as if Arin’s lips, Arin’s air was theonly thing she could really survive on. Arin. Arin. Arin. Oh stars and all ofhis gods help her, this was even better than anything she had ever dreamed of.And it was just one small, chaste kiss.
Her handsmoved on their own accord, first down his torso, feeling every hard muscle ofhis and drawing soft groans out of him. Sweet, sweet sounds Kestrel had neverthought to be so sweet. Then she moved up, palms pressing and fingers searchinguntil her hands locked on his shoulders for a moment. All along, Arin kissedher softly, his lips massaging hers into a slow and tender kiss that seemed tohold so much fire within and yet it refused to ignite. Not yet, it seemed towhisper, not yet. Her hands moved up again and into his thick, dark locks. Sheplayed with those curls, a smile forming on her mouth when Arin sighed intoher. He liked this, she realised, safely storing this knowledge in the depthsof her heart.
And thensomething snapped.
A deep andalmost primal hunger that seemed to grow inside this kiss. Arin rasped her nameinto the kiss and she opened her mouth, welcoming him, welcoming his tongue.With each press of lips and groan and moan, Kestrel felt her world tip. Arinwas leaning into her, arms holding her close, so close, so close. And shepulled him in, careless about such trivial things like gravity and hard floors.It didn’t matter, nothing mattered. Not when Arin was here with her and kissingher and waking up every piece of hers that had been dormant until this verymoment. The kiss was catching fire and it tasted to good.
“Kestrel…”Her name was a hot breath against her cheek as Arin pressed his face to hersand began a blazing trail of kisses down her throat. Down, down, down. Herpulse, her collarbone, her shoulder… Her robe was barely covering her now,having fallen open in the process of their kisses. Kestrel didn’t even thinkabout what it meant, only what it allowed to happen. Arin kissing her, Arintouching her. Arin, Arin, Arin.
“Arin…” Hepressed a kiss right over her heart and she swore it pulsed anew. Like a freshoff the nest little bird, ready for the world, ready to spread its winds andfind home. Home. Arin. “I want… I want you, Arin…” She said, or tried to, hervoice lost in the moment.
Arin pausedhis kisses with a start. His breathing was laboured and surprised when he spokeagain, “Are you… Are you sure?”
She nodded,partially annoyed he’d stopped his kisses. Why? She was dying without them,dying. “I’m sure, Arin. I’ve been for a long time now. I can’t stop thinkingabout you, even when I try to be angry, I can’t. Not really.” She leaned intohim and eased off of her robe. A violent blush coloured his cheeks as he tookin her naked form, “I love you, Arin. I love you…”
His silvereyes, always so beautiful and brilliant, turned to her, “Kestrel…” A silly gringrew on his lips, “I love you too.”
Her eyesclosed for a moment as she savoured those words. “Then kiss me, Arin.”
And he did.He really did.
Happinessbloomed deep in her chest, just like what must rush through a bird’s heart upontheir first flight, and she laughed. Kestrel laughed and smiled and giggled,Arin’s own laughter joining hers between kisses and more kisses. His towel fellaway, by his hand or hers, neither really knew. And then he laid her down bythe fire, on a lush carpet that felt like fluffy clouds under Kestrel.
His eyesshined, happiness and surprise and love bright and alive, and Arin leaned downto nuzzle his nose against her flushed skin. Kestrel laughed, unable to containthe sound as he played with her skin. Nuzzle, kiss, nuzzle, kiss and blow, thatlast one drawing even louder cackles out of her. She couldn’t breathe, thelaughter and the anticipation taking over her. Arin’s mouth moved upwards,slowing down his playful rhythm.
When he wasclose enough, Kestrel caught his face between her hands and pressed theirforeheads together, locking her gaze on his, “You make me so happy, Arin. Sohappy…”
He seemedto hold his breath, surprised with her words, “I could say the same, Kestrel.Little fists…” A smile danced on his lips as he uttered that nickname and shesmiled too. A month into knowing each other she had accidentally decked him.Arin had commented how someone with fists so small could be able to knock himout so well. She’d laughed the whole day through. She almost laughed right now.But then she felt his touch between her thighs and all laughter and rationalthoughts were gone.
Anotherbrush, soft and tender yet making her moan and gasp in reply. Arin whisperedher name as he touched her again and again, his voice strained and in pain, asif he was the one being touched like that, as if it was Kestrel who was drivinghim blind with just her hands. A louder gasp erupted and Kestrel swore shealmost fell apart then. So close, she was so close to coming undone. Heavingchest, blushed cheeks, Kestrel held onto him as if her very life depended onhim. In a way, it did. It did.
“Arin… Oh,Arin… Please…”
“Yes,Kestrel… Yes…” He rasped and eased into her, slowly.
A blissfulsmile grew on her lips as he moved, rolling his hips with that patience he’dbuilt during their games of Bite and Sting. Slow, slow, slow. She moved withhim, hands wrapped around his shoulders, spread over the hard muscles as theytensed and relaxed with his movements. Arin leaned on his forearms, easing intoa better position as he continued moving with her, his hips slow and seductiveand slick against hers. Kestrel had always heard of quickies and whatnot, butshe was certain the reason they were so overrated was because no one had evertasted this. Arin’s slow and clever rhythm. Patient and delicious, each roll ofthe hips perfected to draw the softest and rawest of moans out of her.
Her heartwas so full and beating so fast. Full of love and happiness and Arin. Arin.Arin. How could someone fill someone else’s heart so perfectly? His words, hisbeauty, his mind, his body. His pace picked up ever so slightly and a shudderedgasp escaped both of them.
Aringroaned. “Kestrel… Kestrel…” He whispered her name, over and over again. Voicestrained, eyebrows drawn, Arin was lost in her just as she was lost in him. Solost. But a good lost, a good lost. Because he was home. Home.
Anotherroll of the hips. Just another. Another…
He cursedunder his breath and shuddered as a hard thrust rocked her body and threwKestrel over the edge, together with Arin. Together. His name was a soft cry onher lips, her heart exploding to pieces, so full of love and happiness as itwas. Her body was nothing, Arin had set fire to it with his kisses and histouch and now Kestrel was nothing but an ethereal thing. Bound to the earth onlyby her love for Arin.
--
She dancedwith her fingers over his open hand, tracing the lines of his palm back andforth. Arin took in a shaky breath and she giggled, “So sensitive.”
“You’retickling me, Kestrel. I can’t resist that.” He rasped, his voice still a mess.
“Are yougoing to sing with me now?” She asked after a while, looking up from his chest.
Arinsighed, “Do I have a choice?”
She smackedhim, “Of course you do. But I’d very much like it if you said yes.”
“What ofRoshar? And Risha?” He asked, remembering his manager and Kestrel’s vocalist.
Alwaysready for this, Kestrel didn’t even stop to think of her answer, “You knowRoshar won’t mind it one bit, so long he continues to be the manager. And Risha…Risha wants to go to Broadway. She wants to sing in musicals, to be where Verexis.”
Arinchuckled, “You have everything worked out already. Of course you do.”
She hummed,“Yes. I’ve thought about this for a while already. Say yes, Arin. Stay with me.”
“I’ll staywith you no matter what.” He said, his voice softer and stripped of any jokes.
“I’m glad.But I still want to play with you.”
“You don’tgive up, do you?”
“No. Plus,you said my father was the other reason why you refused me. Considering he isout of my life for good and everything we did tonight, I don’t see any reasonwhy we can’t play together.”
“What aboutthe contest?”
“I’m goingto withdraw.”
“And so Ishould do the same?” He offered with a raised eyebrow.
Kestrelpaused, “Well, you don’t have to. But I am withdrawing.”
Arin huffedand passed a hand through his hair, “And so am I, since I only entered thisbecause of you.”
Laughterbloomed out of her, surprised and light, “How come?”
“Youchallenged me. It would be a sign of weakness to not rise to it.” He replied,his tone as a matter of fact.
“I daredyou. And I was angry at the time, I said some stupid things.”
“Oh, so sheadmits!” Arin joked, the sound quickly replaced by a yelp as Kestrel poked him.
“I saystupid things sometimes, I never denied it.”
“Yes, butyou never admitted it either. I have an idea.”
“You do?”
“Yes. Weboth withdraw, let our friends know of it and stay here for the rest of theweekend.”
Her cheeksheated up, “In this room?”
Arinnodded, “In this room. Just us. Making up for lost time. What do you say?”
Kestrel smiled,perhaps the happiest smile she had ever smiled, and nodded, “Sounds perfect tome.”

Will. For a moment her heart hesitated. She remembered when Will had died, her agony, the long nights alone, reaching across the bed every morning when she woke up for years expecting to find him there, and only slowly growing accustomed to the fact that that side of the bed would always be empty. The moments when she had found something funny and turned to sharethe joke with him, only to be shocked anew that he was not there.
The worst moments, when, sitting alone at breakfast, she had realized that she had forgotten the                                                                   precise b l u e                                                                    of his e y e s                                                                   or the d e p t h                                                                   of his l a u g h

callowaynetwork as kbm characters
This was highkey so hard trying to do everyone justice but I have done my best. 
Amelia @rosecobalte : Rose Calloway Cobalt shocker 
Intensely devoted to herself. She’s the kind of girl who wear so sharp they could puncture a rib cage and simultaneously makes legal jargon look like a children’s book. Probably one of the most intimidating women you will ever meet, but has one of the softest, most protective hearts.
Fair warning, you start something with her and she’ll kill you with a glance, and the rest of us will help dispose of the body. 
Kasey @kitswon : Willow Moore Abbey
Everyone’s little sister.  Everyone else has an instant instinct to protect her. That adorable kind of awkward where you want to hug them all the time. A classified Nerd™ with a literal heart of gold. 
Fair warning, touch a hair on her head and you’ll cease to have hands.
Kait @ketterdame : Daisy Calloway Meadows
Resident wild card. She’s the kind of friend who’s always worried about being a part of the group, without realizing she’s already everyone’s favorite. Happy and exuberant, she brings extra life into every conversation. She’s the sun, and we’re all chasing after her. 
Fair warning, the rest of the family will finish any fight you try to start with her. 
Kate @puckconnolly : Lily Calloway Hale
The most adorable nerd you will ever meet. She has a soft spot for her family and friends, and is the first to nod her head in your defense even if your opinions aren’t the same. The kind of friend everyone longs to have: loyal, joyful, and full of life. 
Fair warning, an attack on her is an attack on all of us, and the Calloway crew doesn’t take kindly to threats. 
Ju @kitsuwons : Akara Kitsuwon
#Responsible. Everyone will follow her lead. Naturally talented, and unanimously well-liked. 10/10 only wants the best for you. Smiley exterior, softer interior. All around good bean. Is probably stressed whenever you do something risky. 
Fair warning, she’s too good to be involved in your petty dramas, but if you start something, we’ll finish it before she even knows it was going to go down. 
Julie @ghansey : Jack Highland
Too popular for us. More talents than she ever gives herself She’s the smiling face in every room that both teases and motivates you. Blunt but effective, and always looking out for your best interests.
Fair warning, her fights are ours, and one against fifteen isn’t a fight you could ever hope to win, so don’t even try. 
Lacie @nestha : Sullivan Meadows
Cares more about desserts than she does your opinions. Somehow both elegant and foul mouthed. She’s the kind of girl that you find trustworthy .5 seconds after meeting. More determined than you will ever be. Will go to bat for her friends even if she’s bleeding out. 
Fair warning, fuck with her and I’ll tear you apart so slowly you wish you were dead. 
Laura @tyblacktorn : Eliot Cobalt
Queen of mischief. 90% of the time we have no idea what she’s up to, just that she’ll appear to boost the mood before drifting off again. More clever than you’ll ever be puns for days. Reliable. Steadfast. Will key someone’s car for you.  We want to protect her because she’s a Smol™, but there’s a 10/10 chance she’s already taken measures into her own hands. 
Fair warning, mess with her, and we’ll do something far worse than key your car. 
Lexi @ellaferars : Tom Cobalt
100% too cool for us. Talent should be her middle name. She’s one of the more genuine people you’ll ever meet. We’re all watching and waiting for her to take the world by storm. She’s a natural fit to any situation, and we’re all laughing when she’s around.
Fair warning, try anything with her and you’ll have fourteen people vying for who get’s to carry the shovel to go dig your grave. 
Mana @rykemeadows : Winona Meadows
The softest person you will ever meet. Genuinely cares about everyone and everything. No where close to timid, but deeply attuned to the happiness of others. She’s probably out making the world her oyster, but she’ll always return to you (and her squad @callowaynetwork) with a few sweet words to make your whole day better. 
Fair warning, she’s out treasure, and an attack on her is calling for nothing short of guerrilla warfare and your assured destruction. 
Ner @fredgideon : Ben Cobalt
One of our quieter, more reserved family members. She’s more in-tuned with the world and it’s many moods than most people. Somewhat soft spoken and a little more private than most, you still want her in your corner. Her heart is so big we’re surprised she has room for it in her chest. 
Fair warning, you mess with her and you’ll have the entire Cobalt empire gunning for you execution. 
Sage @cristinarosales : Ryke Meadows
Everyone’s favorite four letter word. Says ‘fuck’ so often it’s essentially an adjective. A pillar when everyone else is fracturing. Don’t let his harsh exterior fool you, he’s got a soft side for his select few. His inner circle is very small, but once you’re in it, he’ll defend you to the death.
Fair warning, pick a fight with him and he’ll throw the first punch, and we’ll be there to cheer him on. 
Sal @julliettesferrars : Jane Cobalt
Our actual saving grace. She’s one of the sweetest human beings you will ever encounter, while also taking no shit from anyone, towards her or anyone else she cares about. She’s the big sister people would kill for: kind, endearing, heartfelt, and so genuine in herself and her affections sometimes we’re afraid she can’t possible be real. 
Fair warning, mess with her and she’ll want to slay you elegantly, but you’ll have the rest of the clan gunning for you heart in a jar on our mantle. 
Zaiba @chaolwestfal : Luna Hale 
She’s cooler than you will ever be. Molding naturally into any group by being fearlessly herself, she’s the friend that’s very presence makes you want to smile. A bold spirit and a soft heart, you fuck with her and the rest of us will come for you with pitchforks and blowtorches. 
Fair warning, she can defend herself, but you start something with her and it’ll be the last thing you ever do. 
& little old me, @lunellys : Maximoff Hale
Competitive as fuck, and shamelessly proud of my physique. Everyone’s older sibling. There’s a 3000% chance I’ll drop everything if you need my advice or just someone to lend an ear. Chronically overthinking my existence. Will shoulder every possible burden to make sure family and friends don’t have to. 
Fair warning, start something with me and I’ll probably be nothing short of amused that you’re wasting your time.
That being said, we’re a family through and through. Mess with one, and you mess with us all. We’re unique and scattered, a little messy around the edges. But we’re a clan none the less. And there’s always room for more people in the Calloway Crew.

*ruffles papers* *clears throat* nikolina + 17 + in front of the fireplace
ohohohohohohohoh 👀
Fireplace + “Because I love you!”
Rated E ofc
It was timeto retire at last. The king of Ravka rubbed his neck with a groan in an attemptto undo a few of the knots he’d gotten there throughout the long, long day. Itdid little to his ailment but no one could blame him for not trying.
His roomwas large, too large for just one person, but it was warm and cosy and perfectto hole in it for the rest of his life. Or at least until the next sunrise.
Coatdropped by the door, Nikolai stopped in his tracks when he noticed theunexpected presence in his room.
“Alina…” Herasped. Saints… Was she… Was she really there? Or was he so tired that he’dbegan to hallucinate?
The cornersof her lips twitched in a shy smile, “Nikolai. Hi.”
“H-Hi.What…” He looked back at the door, trying to understand what was going on, “I’msorry, but… Alina?”
Her smilegrew more confident and he knew he wasn’t dreaming. No dream could compare tothe way her beautiful smile made his heart race so fast. Beautiful. Saints, shewas even more beautiful today than the last time he’d seen her. How long…?Three months? Four? He wasn’t sure. Os Alta kept him away from her longer thanhe wished.
She waved,“Yes, it’s me.”
“I…” He passeda hand through his hair. Lost as he was with this surprise, Nikolai missed theway Alina’s breath got caught in her throat at that tiny movement. “I’m sorrybut… Why are you here?”
Her gazeflickered down, “Well, I left Keramzin. For good. Things with Mal… They weren’tso good anymore and… I didn’t want to stay there.”
He nodded,“I see. And my room?”
“Tamarthought it would be a nice surprise.”
His heartdanced, “Oh yes, indeed it was a nice surprise.” He paused, “But… I thought…Alina, you left with him. For good. You said… You said you were happy there.”
“I was. Butnot anymore.”
Shesqueezed her hands, twisting and squeezing until her knuckles were white.Nikolai’s gaze went back to hers, “What happened?”
A shadowcrossed her face and in a moment the need to avenge her took over part of him.She shrugged and shook her head, white curls glistening in the fireplace light,“Nothing to worry about. It just happened.”
“Are youall right?” Saints, he wanted to cross the room and take her in his arms, holdher close until all hurt was nothing but a faint memory.
“I’m fine.Better than ever, actually.”
He frowned,“I don’t understand… I… Alina. Please tell me… Why did you come here?” He couldunderstand everything else, but her presence in his room, so late in the nightand without a word? It made his heart come up with all sorts of crazy scenariosand he didn’t need that. He’d fantasied enough about her already. He couldn’ttake one more incredibly romantic scenario. His heart would shatter.
Exasperationhad her opening her arms and saying, rather loud, four words that he wouldforever keep tucked in a safe room deep in his heart, “Because I love you!”
Timestopped.
It just…stopped.
“…What?”Had he spoken or was it just a gush of air leaving his lungs? He wasn’t sure,not of that nor what he’d heard. It couldn’t be… Could it?
Alina tooka step forward but then stopped, her eyes flickering between his and the fire,“I love you, Nikolai! That’s why I came back! In fact I’ve been in love withyou for quite a while now, I just…” She let out a breath, “I just didn’t noticeit. Or didn’t want to. I thought things with Mal were just going through a badpatch, that it was why I was thinking so much about you, about us…” Her voicegrew softer, shakier with nerves, “But the more time he spent away from me, theless it hurt. The more I… The more I found myself taking out that emerald ofyours just to gaze at it and think about what ifs…. Until I started to wear itaround my neck, until Mal and I realised we were through. Until…” Her voicetrembled, “Until you cancelled one visit and I realised how much my heartcracked over your absence.”
His bodywas frozen, stuck in those words of hers. “Alina…”
“So Igathered my things, left Anya in charge of the orphanage and came back. BecauseI couldn’t wait for your next visit, because I couldn’t wait for the moment I’dregret this and go back to something safe. Because I realised I loved you and Ineeded…” she wrung her hands, “I needed to know.”
“Knowwhat?” His voice shook with how much his heart seemed to be beating.
Panicsparked in her eyes and Alina quickly turned on the spot, her attention now onthe fire, “If you don’t know what I’m talking about then this was all aridiculous idea. I’m such an idiot!” Her voice broke, her body shakingcompletely, “I thought… I hoped…”
Shaken outof his stupor, Nikolai crossed the room and took her in his arms, “If anyone’san idiot here it’s me, Alina.” He said, holding her as close as he allowedhimself.
Her deepbrown eyes stared at him, her mouth parted, her long white hair framing herbeautiful face in an ethereal glow. Saints, she was so beautiful… The way herhair glowed in the firelight… “Nikolai…” she breathed his name and he swore newlife was being breathed into him.
A sheepishsmile tugged on his lips and he caressed her hair, “You kept the ring?” Shenodded, head tilting into his touch, “And… And you love me…”
She took ina shaky breath, “Yes…”
“Am I dreaming?”He breathed, feeling as though he had probably fallen asleep on his desk andstarted to dream yet again about Alina’s return. About Alina returning hisfeelings.
Alina shookher head and a tiny smile crossed her lips for a moment, “I don’t think so.”
“So… You’rereally here. You really… You really love me.”
A chucklebubbled out of her lips and he dropped his hand to cup her cheek, “Yes, youidiot. Will you…” She pressed her lips, “Will you say something about thatalready? Because if you won’t… I’d gladly take my leave now.”
“How doesone reply to such a confession?” He reached up with his other hand and cuppedthe nape of her neck. “How… How does one… Saints… You always do that. You lookat me and see right through and say something that strips me completely off ofany tricks and easy lines and… And I’m left speechless. Unable to walk straightafter you.” His smile turned wicked, “Well, metaphorically speaking.”
She rolledher eyes, “You’re staling.”
He nodded,“I know, I am. I just… Saints, it feels like a dream!”
“And what…What do you usually do then?”
“Oh… Forstarters, I don’t falter. I simply…” He leaned in and his gaze fell on herlips. So lovely, so sweet, so dangerous for his ego yet so perfect as well… “Isay… I love you too…” She gasped, cheeks turning red, “And then I…” He brushedhis lips over hers once and a shudder went through all of her. His next wordswere ready to be uttered, ready to come out and become real at last. But then…Then his heart took charge, the damned thing no longer waiting any second more.No words were uttered as his lips met hers at last.
Strawberries.She tasted of strawberries. That thought echoed in his mind, as Nikolai movedhis lips slowly at first, tasting her, making sure this was really happening.But then a gasp was let out, a shuddered sigh, and soon the kiss was deepenedas Alina’s tongue darted out at the same time her arms circled his neck andpulled him closer.
His lipsglided over hers, pulling and teasing, his hands spread over the small of herback. He kissed her, he tasted her, he memorized every move and tug and glidethat earned him all those sweet, sweet sounds Alina kept making throughout thekiss. He would write them down on a mental list, a list he would take out laterto remember this kiss, should one never happen again. And if it happened again…This list would be his map to Alina’s sighs and moans.
With afinal moan Alina broke the kiss into a tiny million others, and began to peck hislips again and again before her mouth travelled along his jaw and down his neckuntil she found the collar of his shirt and a disgruntled sound formed in herthroat. “Please, I need this gone.” She rasped. And that was when Nikolairemembered them. The scars. The hiding. The gloves.
And she wasasking for permission. Saints… No one else but him ever saw those scars. Butnow Alina was here… Alina…
Anxietytrickled down the back of his neck before he nodded and groaned, “It’s yours totake, sunshine…”
A pause.
A breath.
Her hands trembledas she undid button after button, their breaths held in a moment of stasis.Shirt unbuttoned, Alina reached with a hand. Nikolai closed his eyes and waitedfor her touch. Fingertips… A shudder shook him and Alina stopped. He shook hishead, “Don’t stop, Alina… Don’t…” He wanted this, he… needed this. Her touch.He needed it.
Her palmwas pressed against his heart, her soft skin brushing over the map of scarsthat charred his otherwise perfect body. He heard a breath being taken in andthen… Her lips, on his chest. “You’re so beautiful…” She whispered beforepressing another kiss to his chest, “I’m sorry…” She kissed the scars again,“This is my fault… I’m sorry, Nikolai…” Her words echoed as she kissed hischest again and again, hands slowly moving up his shoulders and down his backuntil the sound of fabric hitting the floor announced his shirt was gone.
Nikolaishuddered, “No, it’s not, Alina… It really isn’t… Don’t…” He sucked in abreath. She was right over his heart, kissing and kissing, as if she couldjust… Kiss the scars away, kiss the bad memories away. “It’s his fault and onlyhis, sunshine… You did what you could…” Words were his again as her handsbrushed over his shoulders and down his arms, fingers tightening where hismuscles were hardened.
Gloves.
Gone.
Heswallowed down, waiting for her. Waiting, waiting, waiting.
Alina tookboth his hands and pressed her lips on the scars. Again and again and again andagain. Until Nikolai could feel nothing but the ghost of her lips, the ghostsof her kisses. Until he couldn’t remember what his scars even felt like. Untilall he knew of was what her lips felt like when pressed onto his skin.
She movedaway and he was forced to pry his eyes open. Alina’s hands were on the belt ofher dress. She didn’t speak. She just… smiled. A smile that was shy and nervousand anxious. Nikolai frowned, unsure about why she was so nervous. And then thebelt fell away and her hands moved to the buttons of her dress. And he knew. Heknew why she was so nervous, why she was so quiet.
Her dresspooled around her feet. An undershirt was left behind. Panties, shoes andsocks. Nikolai swore his heart was near combustion when she began to remove therest. Everything but her panties…
She lickedher lips. Her gaze flickered down and a teasing smirk danced on those lips. Nikolaididn’t need to see where she was looking. He was very much aware of it. Of howtight his pants were, how much he wanted her in that moment.
A momentpassed, a heartbeat hanged between them. And then, they reached for each other again,as if no time had passed since that very first press of lips. Rush took over astwo quickly removed the rest of their clothes, their mouths always on eachother, always gasping and moaning and laughing. Oh, how much they laughed.Nikolai swore his heart was singing with happiness over this surprise. Alinawas here, Alina loved him, Alina was back.
And Alinawanted him, completely.
“You are…Without a doubt… The most beautiful woman I have ever seen, Alina.” Hewhispered and nuzzled his nose over hers before taking her hands within his andlacing them tight over her head, “No one and nothing can or will ever compareto you, sunshine.”
Alina’seyes fluttered for a moment. He eased into her, slowly, letting her decide howfar he could go. Alina took him in, sighing and smiling and nodding until hewas completely inside her. “That word… You keep calling me that… Oh, you feelso good…” She breathed, torn between two lines of thought, “Why do you call methat, Nikolai?”
He watchedthe lines of her face, the curves of her lips and whispered, “Because it’s whatyou are. Your smile, your presence in a room, your sense of humour.” He put histemple on hers, “You enter a room and everything just… illuminates.” He rolledhis hips slowly and a moan was on her lips.
She bit herlip, momentarily lost in the way he moved inside her. Then, “You’reexaggerating, Nikolai. I’m grumpy, not…” Her hold tightened on his when hemoved again, “Not illuminating.”
Hechuckled, “I’d say you’re both, sunshine.” He let go of her and began tracingher body. Fingertips moved over her curves and dips as he slowly memorized howsoft her skin felt against his, how sweet her scent was, how perfectly theyseemed to fit no matter what. He cupped her knee and lifted it up and Alinaquickly hooked her leg around him, rolling her hips with his.
“Oh…Nikolai…” A soft moan was pressed to his cheek as she circled his neck with herarms.
He bracedhimself and leaned away just a little. He wanted to see her, he needed to see her. She opened her eyesand smiled. White hair like a halo around her, Alina looked like a dream if hewas being honest with himself. And when it came to her… Nikolai couldn’t notbe.
“Hey…” Herasped, keeping his pace steady for a moment.
“Hey…” Herfingers played with his hair, “You’re rather…” A moan interrupted her, “Good atthis.”
A harderthrust was the initial reply, quickly followed by a smirk that was all kinds ofmischievous, “Thank you. You’re very good too, sunshine…” He furrowed hiseyebrows, and picked up the pace. Alina kept making all these wonderful sounds…He couldn’t wait much longer, not really.
Words werequickly replaced by moans, their eyes locked on each other’s as their rhythmgrew and grew. Alina dragged her nails down his back, her mouth open as yessescame and came and came. He could see it in the way her moans grew, he couldfeel it in the way their bodies just urged for speed. It was just a matter ofmoments, a matter of yet another thrust…
Alina criedout his name, the sound filling his heart to the very brim. She seemed to glow,her body shaken by her climax, her lips in a blissful smile. And then it came,his release. And Nikolai held nothing back, nothing. Her name, his love, thatfinal thrust. Nothing.
His arms shookhard and he leaned in to rest for a moment. Breathless as he was, Nikolai stillmanaged to call her, “Hey, sunshine…”
She playedwith his hair, though her touch was so feather-light she probably preferred tojust lie down and rest, “Hey, Nikolai…”
“I loveyou, Alina. Always have, in one way or another…” He said, his lips twitching ina shy smile.
Alina’sbreathing seemed to stop for a moment. “I love you too. Though I’m not sure ifI have always, always loved you. But you did grow on me, pretty early in ourrelationship.” Her voice grew fainter with each word, her eyes drooping withsleep.
He too wastired, worn to the very last drop after making love with Alina for what feltlike a lifetime. He sat up, carefully easing out of her. Alina complained alittle but she let go of him nevertheless, her strength just enough for someverbal bites. He kept her legs around his waist and pulled her up gently, “Holdon to me, sunshine. We’re going to bed now.”
She moanedin complaint, “No, I want to stay here. Let’s live here forever.”
“Thefireplace is quite nice and making love by it has probably been the mostromantic thing I’ve done, but the floor isn’t the best place to sleep on. Evenif,” He chuckled when she tried to shut him up with a kiss. Her lips justbrushed over his before she dropped her head on the crook of his neck andcalled him an insufferable git. “Like I was saying, even if the rug is fluffy,my bed is a much better place to sleep on.” He got up with effort but managedto do it in the end, “And maybe, once we’re fully rested… I suppose we could…Kiss some more.”
Alinahummed, “Kissing sounds good.”
“It does,it does…”
Alina’sbreathing began to slow down and Nikolai knew conversations were to be heldsometime later. Now… Now it was time to lie down and sleep. With Alina in hisarms, in his bed… Saints. It still felt like a dream. Even if he felt in everycell of his body that this was real, that everything that had happened since hewalked in and saw her standing there… That every little thing was real.
“I have toconfess this, sunshine…” He whispered once they were settled in and Alina’sbreathing was a deep and steady rise of her chest, “I might look dazed in themorning. I still… I still don’t quite believe this is really happening…”
Alinasnuggled up to him and a long sigh left her. “It’s real, Nikolai… I feel itvery much.” She moaned, still battling sleep somehow. “Both in every part of mybody and my heart…”
Nikolaichuckled, not really surprised she’d heard it all, “I will sleep better now, mylove. Goodnight, Alina.” He pressed a soft kiss to her crown, “I love you.”
She mumbledwhat was very likely “I love you too” but sounded like “I wub you’oo.”
The king ofRavka smiled as he settled down and pulled the covers over them. Dreams.Reality… Sometimes they seemed to walk hand in hand, huh? He felt the weight ofhis heart, full as it was with love and happiness. Alina had walked out of hisdreams, gotten a hold of his heart and settled in forever.
Nikolai liked that very much. What use was hisheart if he kept it to himself forever? Best to leave it in safe hands, inAlina’s hands.

When Sal sarcastically mocks time travel and magic, a strange atmospheric even throws her back in time and straight into a heated court war. Suspicion almost gets her killed, but after seeing her crying a river, the king decides to take her as his protege.
Handsome, just as sarcastic as her, and with secret magical powers, the king finds her talent for resting bitch face to be her best attractive quality. And he wants her to help him with his powers.
Sal has no powers, though. So, she makes a slightly dishonest deal. She teaches him the best she can, and he finds a way to help her get back home. In between court dramas, fake magic classes and unexpected flirty conversations, Sal quickly learns to start believing in the unseen a little more.
