#( anubis gets so emotional r ip )

[sundrought-blog]

viiorels: "Kem." Mihai approaches Kem, his heart in his throat. He coughs to hide his nervousness. "Would you like to go out with me? On a date? It would just be for dinner. We could go after your patrol--" Mihai is rambling. He's so upended! "Because I have a crush on you. I have, for a while. And I know you might not feel the same way. That's fine. I just want to be around you."

☽║☾ Dark eyes widen, black eyelashes fluttering briefly. Surprise etches itself into his features, brows raised and cheeks flushed a lovely shade of red at Mihai’s sudden confession. He blinks, all thoughts coming to an abrupt stop. 

Of course it’s in typical Anubis fashion that he alsodrops everything including his weapon despite being on patrol to wrap his arms around Mihai, unable to stop himself from giving him a quick peck on the cheek. The blade clatters to the ground as Anubis threads a hand through Mihai’s dark locks, holding on so tightly as if he worried that it was all but an apparition and the man before him would disappear. 

( it was a hidden sorrow all gods knew-- the fragility of humanity. savor this moment, he thinks, all too emotional for a simple confession-- yet, here he was, trying to preserve time as if it were just another corpse to be embalmed. ) 

“How lucky could I be? That you would feel the same way I do... I-I want to spend all my time with you too, Mihai.” The words are nearly muffled, pressed into Mihai’s shoulder as the god gives the man one more squeeze before returning to an arm’s length away. His hand easily finds the other hunter’s and he gives a smile as warm as the sun’s gentle rays.
