"It is alright" Came her muffled reply, relaxing with a soft hum at the feeling of his thumb at her cheek. She fought with a small pleased smirk at the 'he approved' comment, she had done good there at least, before she pulled back slightly to look at him. Her expression open and curious "You were?"

"I am sure I could try" Variel commented with a flustered huff, not believing a word of that came out of her mouth before getting up from her chair "I am going to make some tea while you giggles, sort yourself out!"

And with that she stalked off through the curtains that separated the living room from the kitchen, her face burning even more as she started the kettle.

If he wanted anything he could simply call it out to her and she'd make it, as flustered as she was, he was still a important guest and she was raised with manners.

Variel just watched him closely, arms loosely crossed over her chest. Just letting this play out however it was going to, he may have been Cal’s brother but he was also an angel. With the stories she’d heard? No one could blame her, she suspected, of being a little cautious.

“Ah spoken like a true sibling” She said before walking over and conjuring up a chair to sit backwards on, leaning her front against the back of the chair. Unable to hide the small smile that spread on her face at ‘really care about you’ before coughing a little. “I’ll bite. You get 3 freebies, do ask away”

Send a “🍷💖” and My Muse will drunkenly flirt with Your Muse @discordantweave

"CAL!!" Variel squealed, bouncing up from the couch she'd been curled up on and hugging him tightly. Her eyes bright, her smile lazy and her face having that alcoholic flush to it. "Hello my darling~ how's the most handsome gorgeous man in the world doing? Apart from gracing my immortal self with his wonderful presence of course!"

Variel had been drinking for most of the afternoon, she'd been given a box full of different booze from a thankful bar owner she'd helped a few months ago after bumping into him out and about and well. One sip try had turned into two which had turned into many.

[imthebestofboth]

Variel's mouth dropped open, her previous conversation with Gabriel flashing into her head for a moment before she groaned and hid her face into his shoulder. She could already feel her face heating up

"There will not be one at this rate" She said with another loud dramatic groan, poking him gently in the cheek "I had hoped your brother would not mention it to you"

𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐌𝐄 𝐆𝐎 👀.

okay so i got like, three books delivered this week, and in anticipation i reread another book that i had, and lads, let me tell ye, it was like quicksand. so now i have a list, some from my head, many from my wonderful friends’ heads, of prompts that basically made us all very soft or very “pleasantly scandalized rich lady from the sixties who just found out a juicy bit of goss about the new neighbor”. i hope ye like them! (DO NOT ADD TO THE LIST. I WILL MAKE A PART TWO. AND THREE. AND FOUR. MANY MANY PARTS. EVENTUALLY. )

[ HAIR ]:          sender slowly reaches out to catch a loose strand of the receiver’s hair and tuck it gently and securely back behind their ear, letting their touch linger afterwards. (if the receiver has short hair, then the sender reaches out and gently runs their fingers through their hair to smooth it back.)

[ CLOSE ]:          while standing remarkably close to one another, the sender is unable to stop themselves from running their gaze across the receiver’s body, lingering for a moment on their lips, before returning to initiate prolonged, intense eye contact.

[ CHIN ]:          as they stand close to one another, the sender hooks a finger and tenderly lifts the receiver’s chin, tilting it up so that they can look at one another, and running a thumb across their skin lightly.

[ THUMB ]:          while cupping the receiver’s cheek in their hand, the sender slowly glides their thumb across their cheekbone in a tender, sweeping caress.

[ WOUND ]:          upon noticing a recent injury on the receiver’s person, the sender carefully moves closer, running a thumb (or hand) across the wound in a gentle, troubled manner.

[ INHALE ]:          while standing in very close quarters to the receiver, the sender shakily inhales with desire/anticipation as they realize how intimately close they are to one another.

[ DANCE ]:          when alone together (e.g. the bedroom, the kitchen, literally anywhere once they’re alone) the sender takes the receiver’s hand, and pulls them into a graceful yet intimate dance as a spontaneous act.

[ BARE ]:          as they get undressed, the sender gently places a soft, tender kiss against the receiver’s bare shoulder.

[ SCAR ]:          noticing a scar on the receiver’s skin, the sender tentatively stops them from covering it up, and rests a gentle, soft kiss over it.

[ FOREHEAD ]:          placing a hand on the back of the receiver’s neck, the sender guides them close and rests their foreheads together.

[ PALM ]:          taking the receiver’s hand, the sender brings it to their mouth, and places a tender kiss against the receiver’s palm.

[ LINGER ]:          taking the receiver’s hand, the sender lifts it to their lips, and gently kisses their knuckles, lingering for a moment before withdrawing.

[ BEHIND ]:         upon entering the same room as the receiver, the sender steps behind them, and winds their arms around the receiver’s waist, drawing them close against them.

[ WAIT ]:          realizing the receiver is about to leave the room, the sender hastily reaches out and catches their wrist, preventing them from continuing their departure.

[ ARM ]:          after holding their hand, the sender releases the receiver, but slowly glides their hand up the full length of their arm, lingering on the upper arm, then the shoulder, then resting their touch against the side of their neck.

[ HOLD ]:          while close to the receiver, the sender wordlessly takes a hold of their hand, for no other purpose than to be holding it.

[ PLAY ]:          while sitting together, the sender absently lifts the receiver’s hand, idly running their fingertips across the lines of their palms, mapping out every inch of their hand with slow, lazy touches.

[ GUIDE ]:          in the process of guiding the receiver through a crowded place, the sender’s hand protectively grazes against the small of their back

[ TOUCH ]:          while touching the receiver’s waist, the sender’s hand briefly dips beneath the hem of their shirt, skimming briefly across the bare skin of their waist.

[ CUP ]:           bringing both hands up to cup the receiver’s face, the sender draws them in closer to them in order to get a better look at their face.

[ TUG ]:          the sender tugs the receiver close against them by resting a hand against the small of their back, pulling them flush against their body.

[ HUSH ]:          while standing close to one another and hiding from pursuers, the sender reaches up and places a finger against the receiver’s lips to prevent them from speaking and revealing their location.

[ WRAP ]: when sitting astride a horse/motorcycle/etc. together, the sender reaches back, takes the receiver’s wrists, and gently pulls their arms around the sender’s waist in an embrace designed to keep the receiver safe, despite feeling remarkably intimate.

“When you love someone, you don't have a choice. Love takes your choices away.”

“Did not feel incredible, that was difficult but enjoyable” Variel said, ignoring the way her face was beginning to heat up and her heart did little flip flops in her chest. Trying to act even halfway normal, she put a teasing grin on her face “You are going to make me feel overconfident and make me to land on my ass if you keep this up my friend”

Cal held her hand firmly, helping her level out, showing her how to hold her body to make it easier for the wings to move, a huge grin on his face all the while. After a few minutes, he guided her gently back to the ground.

“You’re working new muscles,” he said before she could complain about the shortness of the flight. “Take it slowly. Your back will thank you.”

[imthebestofboth]

"I am glad to hear it" Variel said, the grin growing as the final part of her relaxed. She'd suspected she would have liked Gabriel from the things she heard and was quite pleased to be right, even after his sudden appearance scaring the pants off her. Why was that such a trend with angels?

There was a snort laugh that soon turned into flustered sputtering and coughing, her face heating up. Oh wasn't that a thought?

"By the angel!" she squeaked out, using some magic to gently throw one of her throw pillows from the couch at him as she tried to get her reaction under control "We were having a moment and you just had to ruin it, how rude. You are not invited to the hypothetical wedding!"

Variel just watched him closely, arms loosely crossed over her chest. Just letting this play out however it was going to, he may have been Cal’s brother but he was also an angel. With the stories she’d heard? No one could blame her, she suspected, of being a little cautious.

“Ah spoken like a true sibling” She said before walking over and conjuring up a chair to sit backwards on, leaning her front against the back of the chair. Unable to hide the small smile that spread on her face at ‘really care about you’ before coughing a little. “I’ll bite. You get 3 freebies, do ask away”

[imthebestofboth]

Variel gave him a small smile as he slid the tea towards her, being very very careful as she wrapped her small hands around the mug. Relaxing at the warmth it was giving off before she pouted and huffed

"Da never tells me the real reason" She said with another huff "It's always a different tale, I asked Papa and even he doesn't know which one is real or not. So far Da isn't allowed to go back to Peru because he rescued a princess, was caught doing magic, did a favour for the king but was then banished for it, he snuck away with a baby, he was caught flirting with the queen, he uncovered a royal underground plot and tried to tell the common people and he used the royal bathrooms as a guest. I am sure he'll make up more things as I ask"

Cal usedthe spare key to let himself into Variel's apartment. "V," he called to announce himself. "You home?"

((because how could I resist yeeting an angel at her when she's been de-aged? Mwahahahaha))

@discordantweave

The apartment was strangely silent for a moment or two before just the faintest little 'squeeeeak' as a door opened was heard from down the hallway where the bedrooms were. A sliver of soft purple light now being cast onto the floor

"Nooooo, no one is home. Please go away" Came a quiet and obviously panicked high pitched reply before the previously opened door was shut again.

[imthebestofboth]

Variel let out an snort, flicking her eyes up while she playfully smiled at him. Encouraging the mood shift

“Do not worry, I will not let you fall then” She teased, gently tapping his nose with a finger before crossing her heart with the same finger “Scouts honor”

“I did figure as much, the impression I got from Cal about you was chaotic and mischievous not malicious so I do know this comes from a good place. I am just unsure if I am ready” Variel admitted, tapping the back on her chair with her fingers. Giving a small shrug at the rest of his sentence. She cared about Cal, loving him was simply as easy to breathing to her, it came naturally almost but there was a lot of-not quite fear but definitely- uncertainty there as well.

“Quite possibly but it is. . .difficult to get past the 5 years of hiding it, even with your current nudging. I can promise at least to think about it? Does that appease the Almighty Arch Angel Gabriel?”

The last part of her sentence, she playfully raised her eyebrows up with a small but there playful grin on her face.

Variel just watched him closely, arms loosely crossed over her chest. Just letting this play out however it was going to, he may have been Cal’s brother but he was also an angel. With the stories she’d heard? No one could blame her, she suspected, of being a little cautious.

“Ah spoken like a true sibling” She said before walking over and conjuring up a chair to sit backwards on, leaning her front against the back of the chair. Unable to hide the small smile that spread on her face at ‘really care about you’ before coughing a little. “I’ll bite. You get 3 freebies, do ask away”

[imthebestofboth]

Variel made a long drawn out 'ahhhh', nodding her head along as he spoke. That made sense to her, it was also how her Papa liked some of his tea. Her and Da were the sweeter lovers in the family. Eyeing off her mug, she looked back at Cal when he spoke

"I like sugar in most of mine, when it's black tea based I'll have sugar and cream. Except when it's uh like um" She paused, frowning a little bit as she tried to finds the words "There is a chocolate brownie tea that my Da has and it doesn't taste right if you add any sugar or cream and it's black tea based. We also have another one that Papa bought, it's from Peru, Da can't go to Peru but it's really sweet and really good but you don't add anything to that one"

Cal usedthe spare key to let himself into Variel's apartment. "V," he called to announce himself. "You home?"

((because how could I resist yeeting an angel at her when she's been de-aged? Mwahahahaha))

[imthebestofboth]

Variel stayed silent as he spoke but gave him a gentle ‘Oh’ look, wanting nothing more than to hold him tighter than she already was and reassure him that it was alright.

With everything that he had gone through, it seemed to her that he’d only really begun living not surviving after he’d come back, after meeting Gabriel. It just made sense to her what he was saying.

Relaxing at the hand on her back, she let out a soft cooing noise. Trying to ignore how her lips curled up into a smile at his ‘I love you’. She kissed him back, moving a hand to his cheek as he kissed her a second time.

“I love you too Cal, so so much” She mumbled into the kiss

“If you are then I am as well” She said softly, giggling and smiling at the brush of nose against nose. Now being the one to shake her head slightly, she squeezed his hand “None of that, we have time now. From right now until forever. No apology needed in the slightest alright? Plus if anyone should be apologizing for that anyway, it should be me, I could have told you at any time and almost did but chickened out.”
