Hidden Talent part 2 - Wither Husbands

Well, I made a part 2.

Part One since I remember, for anyone who prefers reading here

I really like the last line. Best finisher I ever did I might say :}

The announcement that Sausage would be having breakfast with fWhip divided his court. The more religious and traditional part (those who did not mind fWhip's title being just 'count') were excited and ready to trip over themselves to make it the most perfect political breakfast. The other part (the part that did not like fWhip being in charge of WRA) was less excited but Sausage threatened them with becoming sacrifices to the Blood Sheep. Having a blessing from Her obviously meant he was a bit more zealous compared to his father.

Ignoring that second part a breakfast was prepared - for Sausage only, but a bottle of blood was also somehow procured. Sausage was honestly impressed his helpers managed to get it from the priests as fast as they did. They likely mentioned it was for fWhip and his breakfast. Anything for the chosen of the Sheep or something like that. Sausage was just happy that the whole thing would be less awkward. The circumstances it was arranged under were bad enough.

fWhip catching him playing his violin and accidentally saying a thought Sausage himself had more than once. He'd not be ashamed of that either. fWhip was smart, handsome, strong and absolutely amazing before becoming a vampire. That little detail did not change how Sausage felt at all. If anything he grew even more impressed with how calmly fWhip took the news and the efficiency he handled it with. There was no way he'd be interested in Sausage. Not with all the trouble he caused and the size of his advisory council and court and how hard it was to make any decision pass through them. They were so troublesome fWhip had to travel all the way from Grimlands.

Maybe he really should sacrifice that second part of his court to the Sheep. That would make her happy and his life easier. But he'd probably wait for fWhip and his entourage to leave. Grimlands were less religious even if there was a small church of the Sheep there. The opening of it was when Sausage met fWhip and Gem for the first time actually. They were like six and he was seven and if not for their eyes he would never tell them apart. fWhip's was always a very nice shade of blue. Like the summer sky...

Not something he should be thinking about when fWhip can come in at any second. He would not survive a repeat of last evening but even a deep breath was not enough to stop his tail from happily thumping on the floor of the breakfast dining room. All the curtains were drawn closed for fWhip's sake and the food would be brought after...

"Hi... I'm going to once again apologise about last night," fWhip chuckled as he walked in. "And you'll be not apologising about anything. I should have stayed in my room instead of randomly roaming your castle."

"No, no, it's all fine," Sausage grinned, glad the staff weren't there just yet. "I should have insisted harder my courtiers tell me when you arrive, I was only up because I was waiting," he quickly added and they fell silent as the food and fWhip's 'drink' were brought in.

"I had no idea you play violin," fWhip hummed as soon as they were alone again. Sausage really, really hoped he'd not ask where a whole bottle of blood came from. "You're always so full of surprises," he chuckled as he swirled blood in his glass.

"It's not something I like to do publicly... but if I want to hear it again I can play for you," Sausage offered with a sheepish smile. Why must all his confidence and court manner lessons leave him whenever fWhip smiles? Why is fWhip just being around enough to make him feel stupid? "I'm sorry the dumb half of my court made you come all this way."

"It's not that bad, I got to see you, didn't I?" fWhip smiled and even more of Sausage's brain died. 

For now, he just tried to focus on eating and not the promise of giving fWhip a kiss. Or that it'd be his first-ever kiss... Yeah, no, he couldn't not think about it, or that embarrassing thing he did when promising it...

"We don't have to kiss, I'll understand, last night was... a bit confusing," fWhip offered, looking anywhere but at Sausage.

Sausage was glad to have an out but he could not back down. Who knows if there was ever another chance? If he ever managed to gather himself into confessing his feelings. Or that his and fWhip's relationship would not be ruined. "I... I think I always had a crush on you," screw what-if's he might as well say it all now over this slowly cooling into grossness omelette. "I have no idea when it started and when I realised it was here it was here for a long time... I mean, you're cool, handsome, smart. I'd probably panic if I suddenly became a vampire overnight..."

He'd probably ramble and dig his grave even deeper, staring at his food with a dumb smile, for much longer but something stopped him. fWhip's cold, dead hand was out of nowhere on his cheek, gently guiding him to look up. "That's enough, I think I'm embarrassed enough. Honestly, if I could blush I'd be redder than your curtains," he giggled nervously as Sausage stared at him in disbelief. fWhip was not angry and disgusted with him. "I would actually say you're feelings are very much mutual and... Do we have to wait for you to be done eating?" as fWhip spoke their faces grew closer and closer until only a little bit of unspoken feelings separated them.

Sausage wasn't sure if it was him or fWhip that closed that gap but it was certainly not what he expected. Not because fWhip was dead and in all ways felt like an actual corpse, maybe a little less clammy and cold but damn close. He just never expected his first kiss would be in a darkened breakfast room, with fWhip's hands tugging at his hair and horns as the vampire sat in his lap. 

So much for all the stories about knights saving their lovers and getting a kiss for that. Sausage got one for playing a violin and being a dumbass.
