💖 ‘  for your muse to ask mine out

Caspian had everything planned out. They were going to be smooth, charming, a little bit sexy, and Kassim was 100% going to say ‘yes’ to a date...right?

Well, they were committed now. 

It started as a friend’s day out, wandering round the marketplace, Kassim laughing at Caspian when they tried something too spicy that Kassim wolfed down with ease. 

Maybe I’m just not that great with hot stuff, Caspian signed, grinning sheepishly, maybe you could help me change that?

I can’t change your taste buds, Cas! they replied

I don’t know, because I think *you’re* hot stuff, and I think we’d be pretty great!

Kassim looked at them, working it out in the head, then they groaned,

That was a terrible pick up line.

Yeah...it kinda was. But... hey, do you fancy going out sometime? 

Kassim nudged them playfully,

I’d love that. And as terrible a pickup line as it was, it worked.

(Fun fact! Caspian also can sign!)

Kassim to Cassius:💗💓💞

💗: Finds them romantically attractive.

💓: Is intimidated by them, but wants to be friends with them.

💞: Feels attracted to them, but can’t work out if it’s platonic, sexual, or romantic attraction they’re feeling.

• ~ • ~ •

Cassius blushes, reading the messages, cheeks dusted pink and eyes shy and bright. "I'm flattered Kassim," he signs, "And flustered. You're so sweet. Unfortunately, I don't think my attraction towards you is of the romantic sense, but friends are just as dear to me, and I already consider you one of them."

"It is also a mood," he adds, with a fond, wry smile, "When you can't decide on the type of attraction. In that case, let's not put a label to it, and just enjoy each other's company."

• ~ • ~ •

Thank you for the ask!! Cass and Kassim can absolutely be friends ^^,, he's just stalling and sjsjsjsjjs because Kassim's adoration has him lost on how to react -- not in a bad way, Cassius is a bit of a disaster gay (he pretends he's not, of course, but that's a lie).

#4 and 8# for writing prompts 🥰🥰

@peaceful-kassim I hope you like it! Naturally, I borrowed dear Kass ❤️

The offense had been minor--nothing more than a faux pas, really--and the resulting annoyance brief. Still, the knowledge that they had done something to upset Amaranth hung with Kassim for the rest of their trip to the market. For her part, Amaranth assumed their withdrawal was a result of the trip. The market was fairly busy, and crowds tended to make the air magician uneasy. So, Amaranth did her best to finish the shopping quickly. Unfortunately, the resulting change in her behavior, namely her bruskness with those who tried to socialize with her and her fast walking pace, only made Kassim feel more like they'd upset her.

When the two of them returned to Kassim's cottage in the forest, Amaranth heaved a dramatic sigh of relief as she set down the bags she was holding and began to unpack them. As much as she loved being out among people, the comfort of being at home with Kassim was unparalleled.

"My love, what was that dish called?" she asked as she put spices away in the cupboard. "You made it last week. It had fish and..." Her hand twirled in the air as she tried to remember the ingredients. "Turmeric, I think? And peppers." Amaranth glanced in Kassim's direction and noticed the slight tremble in their hands as they unloaded groceries. "Kass?"

They didn't turn to her at first, continuing their chore. She crossed over to them and gently removed a bag of herbs from their hand. Her hands, warm as always, took Kassim's and she walked them back to the sofa. After settling herself into the cushions, she guided them onto her lap where she proceeded to run her hands over their arms and wait for them to tell her what was bothering them.

Looking into her honey-colored eyes, Kassim thought to themself that, had someone told them a year ago that they'd come to love someone whose first instinct was always to touch them--that they'd actually find it comforting!--they'd have thought that person out of their mind. But as she held them, they could feel her warmth reaching into them, encouraging them to confide in her.

I don't... I've never...been in a relationship, and I'm going to make mistakes... I just need you to tell me. I need you to talk to me.

As their voice sounded in her mind, their eyes met hers. Amaranth blinked a moment as she tried to figure out where this was coming from. "My love, is this about that woman from earlier?"

Vehana, I swear I thought she was just being kind! I didn't realize--!

Amaranth pressed a kiss to their lips, quieting them despite the fact that they weren't using their mouth to speak. After pulling away, she pressed her forehead to theirs. "I know, my love." One hand smoothed over their silver hair as the other rested on their chest where she knew the mark binding them to her to be. "Our hearts beat as one, remember?"

Kassim's hand came up to rest atop the one Amaranth had on their chest. The mark thrummed with magic in response to her touch, reminding them of their bond. How could I forget, Eros mai? They pressed a tender kiss to her lips, which she accepted happily. As tended to be the case with Amaranth, one kiss led to another, and another, until the groceries were all but forgotten.

Morkass Babies 💙🤍💙🤍

@kassim-walks-on-air

These kids own my entire soul

The twins, Sitri and Sani! Sitri is Morgan 2.0 but with Kassim's magic, Sani is a little more like Kassim, with Morgan's magic. Sitri should have more of a tan.

Adasa! Quiet, Kassim's magic, the surprise baby.

Nuit! Kassim 2.0. They're baby and I love them

Loosely based on this prompt! Tikos discovers an unexpected treasure one day!

Pairing: Kassamatik (Kassim Atesh @kassim-walks-on-air, Amaranth Silva @xvi-the-tower, and Tikos)

Warnings: Massive amounts of tooth rotting fluff, mentions of abandonment

In The Woods

“Uh, Kassim? Amaranth? Are you home? Helloooo.”

Tikos Katsaros-Yakinthos’ low voice called out as he opened the door to the trio's cottage. A small bundle held in his arms definitely resembled the shirt he’d left in. Which he was currently missing.

Kass and Ama appeared curiously and concerned. Tikos never used anything but nicknames unless it was important. Just hearing their real names coming from him was enough to put the two on guard.

“Ti? What’s wrong?” Amaranth quickly looked him over for wounds. Her golden eyes moved rapidly.

Kassim carefully reached out to place a hand on Tikos bare arm. Their eyes drew down to the bundle, it was his shirt but nestled in it...

“A baby!?”

The forest was not Tikos normal route home but he hoped that the side track would be worth it. Ilya had mentioned a patch of rare flowers appearing near the path when they’d met earlier for a drink. While Ilya was more interested in describing the medicinal properties, Tikos’ first thought was that his loves deserved a bouquet of beautiful rare flowers. Though as he walked through the steadily darkening forest he remembered why he stuck to the sea.

“Roots! Holes! Με δουλεύεις!* How do people do this to relax?” He muttered to himself as he tripped over another rock on the path.

It’d been a long time since he cursed the mob that stole his eye but he offered up a mean thought about boils and uncomfortable sitting for them. The lack of depth perception usually didn’t bother him because out at sea he compensated with his magic but the trees of the forest interfered with the air. He was about to give up when a flash of color caught his eye.

“Finally,” he muttered.

Quickly he moved towards it expecting to finally get his hands on those flowers. Or maybe run into some bandits. A beast, even. He readied his dagger. At that point he’d happily welcome anything to relieve the tension of his little hike. Something!

... except a baby sleeping soundly inside a hollowed out tree stump.

“Uh...”

After a thorough look around the area in case it was a trap, he quickly stashed the dagger back in its sheath and moved closer. Nestled amongst the moss was a baby with dark pink hair and sparkly rosy cheeks. His brown eye widened and his mind started spinning.

“Μα καλά, τι σκεφτόσουν?!* Who would leave a baby out here? What kind of parents do you have? Oh what are we going to do.”

“And so we waited for a bit longer to see if anyone came back but I couldn’t let them stay out there all night. Even with me there,” Tikos finished telling his story.

Kassim and Amaranth had taken the baby from him and sat with them on a soft rug near the fireplace. They’d recovered from the shock quickly and dived directly into protective mode. First insisting on keeping the baby warm and then properly fed. Tikos looked on from the kitchen where he prepared a bottle of milk.

“I’ll go back in the morning and maybe leave Kiki as a look-out. No one’s getting a baby back until we have a discussion.”

He shook his head at the idea of parents just leaving their baby in the middle of the forest. Who knew how long they’d been out there before he’d come along. Even worse, how long would they have stayed out there if he hadn’t taken the detour.

“Here μικρή γλαύξ,” Tikos said as he handed the bottle over to Kassim.

They picked up the baby and sat back so they could rest the baby in their arms to eat. A soft smile graced their lips as the babe eagerly took the bottle.

“Oh I know that look,” Amaranth looked at the scene and teased. “Pretty cute baby, hm?”

Kassim blushed and focused on the baby.

”Just wondering who could leave such a precious thing.”

“Someone who either had no choice or doesn’t deserve their baby back,” Tikos grumbled. “Don’t worry, we’ll get to the bottom of it and make sure they’re safe. Desperation can make people do things that seem cruel or odd on the outside but made sense at the time.”

He slid down to sit behind Amaranth and let his legs rest on either side of her then pulled her against his chest. His mind hadn’t stopped racing since he’d found the baby but finally relaxed knowing the three of them were doing this together now. Everything seemed better when he had them close.

Ama curled up close and the two watched Kassim and the baby quietly for a moment. It made for such a domestic scene.

The fireplace lit up the area with a warm glow as Kassim gracefully sat with this strange baby. Adoration was plain across their face at the bundle in their arms and the babe stared back with an equally content look. Curiously it looked as though their cheeks were sparkling even more now but it could just be the firelight. They’d swapped Tikos’ thin shirt for a mismatch of fabrics and clothes they could get to fit then topped it off by swaddling the babe in a clean blanket. When the bottle was done Kassim gently lifted them up to pat their back. Small burps sounded from them which only made the adults melt inside. While doing that they finally met their lovers eyes.

“What?” They asked but the deepening blush gave them away. “Um... what do... what do you think we should call them...?”

“I think it’s a little early for that, darling.” Amaranth cautioned.

Tikos and Kassim nodded. It was hard to not fall in love with the baby immediately but getting too attached would just make the separation harder. They all had to remember this baby had a family and could be missed at that very moment.

“I’ll fix up a drawer or something as a cot. That way they’ll be safe and can sleep next to our bed.”

Tikos offered and got up to start working on it. Kassim and Amaranth just smiled at each other, they knew it was already too late for their husband.

Tikos stared down at the forest floor in disbelief. There in the dirt was his arrow marker he’d left just the night before. But now it pointed directly to a small sapling in the ground.

”So... this was... a tree yesterday?”

Tikos pinched the bridge of his nose to try and tide the growing headache.

“Yes, a fully mature tree stump that was hollow. It was filled with moss! The whole baby was in it and not even touching the edges!”

Kassim inspected the sapling closely, nothing indicated it was recently planted. By their knowledge the sapling looked to be a good two or three years old. They looked around at the trees nearby but nothing fit the description.

”Are you... are you sure, vehana? I know you can get turned around out here and your depth perception magic gets confused...”

Tikos huffed slightly and looked away, he didn’t like to acknowledge any weaknesses but coming from Kassim he knew it was well-intentioned.

“I know, μικρή γλαύξ. I made sure to mark the right one, triple checked.”

Kassim nodded, if he was confident that he checked then they believed him.

“There’s something in the air here... it’s faint though...”

“I did feel something strange last night. It’s why I was eager to get the babe home. I thought I could just come back again but I wouldn’t let them sit around any longer... forests are weird.”

Tikos crouched down in front of the sapling. Conflicting emotions flickered through his eye.

“You sprung up quick, aye? Straight from the dying tree...”

Weeks had passed since Tikos’ discovery in the woods. No one came to claim the baby in the time so the trio decided to keep her until someone did. They let the captain of the guard know and got everything sorted out. It was left unspoken that the longer time went on the less likely the baby’s family would show up. The Captain was content to leave the babe in their care, he knew they would love and care for her as if she was their own.

“Γεια*, Seffy, Firebug, μικρή γλαύξ! Who’s home?”

Tikos' voice sounded throughout the cottage as he walked in. Laughter answered him and led him into the family room where he found the three of them.

“Welcome home, darling!” Amaranth managed through giggles.

He leaned against a doorframe in the room. Kassim and Amaranth sat on the floor with baby Persephone between them, wiggling happily. Toys and entertainment covered the area and was quickly becoming the new normal for them. Persephone, as they decided to call her, had captivated them all nearly immediately. It started slow with someone bringing home a new outfit or moving something out because it had hard corners then before they knew it, she was everywhere. Bottles lined their kitchen, pieces of cloth were strategically placed around in case of a spitty baby, and the drawer turned cot was a permanent fixture by their bed. Tikos even started sleeping on the end closest to Persephone since he slept so lightly. Any noise of discomfort or discontent woke him up right away. Oftentimes Ama and Kass would wake up to find him spread out as usual but with a hand draped over in her cot. They teased him incessantly but he just smiled and said he worried she’d get lonely.

Persephone giggled away as Amaranth and Kassim were taking turns playing peekaboo. Her cheeks sparkled still, they’d quickly realized it really was her sparkling and not a trick of the light. It was a pretty clear sign that she was happy and also not an entirely normal child.

Tikos walked over to give all three of them a soft kiss before taking a seat. Persephone wriggled and reached out towards him excitedly from Amaranth’s arms.

“Oh look who’s happy. Do you want to go to Μπαμπάς*, darling?”

They all froze at that.

Ama touched her fingers to her lips in disbelief. Only Persephone was unfazed and continued to reach for Tikos. A small rare blush bloomed on his tanned freckled skin.

“Ti, I... I didn’t... uh-“

“No, it’s... it’s alright actually. I... I think I could get used to it, aye?”

Kassim and Amaranth beamed as he took Persephone.

“What do you think, Seffy? Can I be your Μπαμπάς? If so, what will we call your other parents?”

He flashed his signature cheeky grin at his lovers who both suddenly shared his blush. None of them could have anticipated how one little detour would turn out. Not even Asra predicted that the hunt for some flowers would turn into finding something so much more precious: a family.

** Με δουλεύεις - Are you kidding me?

Μα καλά, τι σκεφτόσουν - What were you thinking?!

Γεια - Hello

Μπαμπάς - Dad

💘 💕 💝 for both Elly and Kat

💘 First love?

Elliot: I had first fallen in love with one of my servants. He was a gorgeous thing, grey eyes, dark hair, though if that wasn't enough I also fallen for the family's artist. She stayed at the palace most of the time, so we had decided to become an official loving relationship. I... don't really like to... talk about where it ended, though. My apologies.

Katarina: I was dumb and fell for one of my first female clients. She treated me far too well for my stupid brain to just think of it as casual sex. She paid well too, but, I guess she figured me out and never saw me again, moved to a different girl at the house after that.

💕 Experiences with multiple partners?

Elliot: Yes! A few, though they were the same two people. It was a fantastic time and definitely something I'll never forget. I haven't been in that kind of relationship for years now, and unless the person I'm with offers, I don't see the need for it, again.

Katarina: While working at a brothel, there were a few. None really stood out to me, usually just a few people would watch as one took me then switch off. I used to think they were boring, a chore when I was working, but now that I've had loving partners that can actually show me what the hype was about? My favorite!

💝 What is the dearest gift they have received?

Neither Kat nor Elliot have a "favorite" gift. If you give them one they'll love it just as much as the other's because someone went out of their way, thought, "Oh Elliot/Katarina would like this!" and brought it to them to show their love. Though they tend to treasure handmade gifts and spontaneous ones!

Like small trinkets or flowers, cards, pictures, clothes that don't have a reason to them other than "I saw this and thought of you!" It'll melt their hearts.

👂 - Your muse nibbling on my muse’s ear

Caspian, tall and broad as they were, loved being the big spoon. And Kassim fit in their arms perfectly. They were lying on the bed in a tangle of limbs, both still breathing heavily from their previous activities. Caspian had buried their face in Kassim’s hair, and was pressing slow, soft kisses to their neck. These kisses trailed their way up to the corner of their jaw, and Kassim sighed and leaned into the touch. Caspian’s lips were pleasantly warm and they made Kassim’s skin tingle. Caspian made their way up to the earlobe and gently nipped at the skin there, eliciting a little jump of surprise from Kassim, who promptly melted back into Caspian’s embrace as they kissed and nipped up and down their neck. Eventually Caspian’s hands moved from where they had been encircled around Kassim’s waist and slowly moved down, down.

“Up to going again?” they asked, rubbing small circles into the top of Kassim’s thigh. They felt them nod, could feel their pulse pounding. With one more nip to the shell of Kassim’s ear, Caspian got to work.
