Whumptober 29
No. 29: “I only sink deeper the deeper I think.”
Scented Candle | Troubled Past Resurfacing | “What happened to me?”
Day 29! Continuing Lo and Sol's time. This is right after yesterday's chapter from Day 28. CW: immortal whumpee, vampire caretaker, character death, burning, blood, stabbing, talk of death, and then some nice angsty fluff and caretaking.
- - -
Solomon sat at the floor of the cave next to the fire. He had quickly checked the wound on his arm, wrapping it tight in some bandages. He had then checked the wounds across Lo’s back, they’d closed up, no longer seeping blood as they had began healing.
Roland had stabbed them over and over again- Solomon could still feel Lo’s weight on top of him as they were slaughtered- bleeding out to death on top of him as they’d sacrificed themselves for the vampire.
After they’d cleaned the wounds, Solomon carefully pulled Lo onto his lap, wrapping them up in his arms next to the fire, slowly rocking them back and forth, stroking their hair and waiting for the life to flush back into their body.
“I’m sorry- I’m so sorry-” he mumbled, planting a kiss into Lo’s soft curls. “I will never let anyone hurt you- I promise. Never again-”
Solomon let the tears fall from the weight of his failure. He let himself cry, holding the human in his arms as he began to hear the screams coming from outside.
He knew the sun was high above the horizon now, shining brightly above the tree line as Roland screamed and begged. No doubt he was burning to a crisp as the sunlight singed his skin- charring his flesh, sending coursing pain through what little of his body that he could still feel.
Solomon closed his eyes, feeling the warmth of the human as their blood began to pump again throughout their veins. He carded fingers through their hair and planted another kiss on their forehead as Roland’s screams and cries slowly began to fade- dying down to soft whimpers before there was nothing left but the silence of the outside air.
Marlowe’s body flinched, and Solomon held them a little tighter, careful to avoid the injuries on their back. Their breathing began to grow unsteady, a trembling in their limbs as they began to come back to the world of the living.
Suddenly their body jolted backwards, nearly throwing themselves out of Solomon’s grasp. He quickly held onto them tighter as Lo began to shake with sobs, quick little breaths coming through their chest.
“Shh- shh it’s alright Lo, I’ve got you-” Sol whispered.
Eventually Lo’s eyes fluttered open slowly, seeing the vampire’s face above them. They stared for a moment, eyes scanning across his features before closing them once more.
“What- what happened?” Lo whispered. “What happened to me?”
“You’re alright- you’re back now, it’s okay-”
Lo curled in tighter as they glanced around the cave, eyes darting back and forth. “I- I don’t remember what- what happened.” They sighed.
“We- we were attacked-” Sol stated gently. “You, you sacrificed yourself to save me, and, and got hurt in the process. But it’s okay- he’s- he’s gone. He can’t hurt you anymore.”
Marlowe shuffled gently in Solomon’s arms, wincing slightly as it jostled the injuries on their back. They nodded, seemingly satisfied with the answer as the present slowly came back to them.
“Lo, what- what happens when you die?”
Lo glanced up at the vampire, bringing up a few gentle fingers to touch the side of his face, inspecting the bruises that littered the edges of his jaw. The dark purples and reds standing out against his pale skin.
“He got you good-” Lo mumbled. They leaned forward, planting a soft kiss along the edge of his jaw, and the vampire froze. He gripped Lo’s hand in his shaking fingers as Lo planted another kiss across the bruises and Sol softly closed his eyes.
“Lo- you’re- you’re delirious-” he mumbled. The human fell back into the vampire’s lap, nuzzling closer into them with a contended sigh. “Lo, what- what happens?”
“Hmm?” Lo mumbled
“When you die?”
“Oh-” their voice dropped, eyes falling back to some distant place somewhere. They took a deep breath before answering. “It- it depends on how I- how I die. If it’s quick and painless, then so is- so is coming back.”
Sol took in a quick breath, carding his hand through their hair again, Lo relishing in the gentle touch. “And if- if it’s not?” He asked.
“You mean if it’s traumatic? I sort of relive it all. The moment I die, over again, and the- the pain, until I heal and my body brings me back.” Solomon tensed and Lo reached out to grab his hand, gently pulling it to their lips. “It’s why it takes a minute sometimes, I- I’m not sure what’s real and what’s not- it takes my brain a minute to start working again.”
Solomon let his hand rest against the side of Lo’s face, gently brushing away a strand of hair with his thumb.
“Lo, do you- do you know what’s real right now?”
Lo nodded, eyes glancing up at the vampire behind long eyelashes. “I know I’m being held in the arms of a really handsome vampire- who’s currently looking at me like he doesn’t know what to do with himself.”
Sol let out a chuckle, shaking his head. “I think you’re still delirious, Lo-”
Lo stared back up at the vampire, placing a soft hand against the side of his face- a rush of heat flowing through him at the way the human looked at him. “I don’t think I am-” they whispered.
Lo gently pulled the vampire closer into them, feeling his breath gently on their face, before they closed the distance between them, feeling his lips against their own.
The vampire tensed, his body locking up at the gentleness of the human- before he slowly relaxed into the kiss. He let his hand card through their hair and the human let out a sigh of content, softly pulling away and glancing back up at the vampire.
“God quit- quit looking at me like that-” Solomon mumbled.
“Like what?” Lo whispered.
“Like I’m- like I’m worth something.”
Lo turned his face back to theirs, brushing a thumb against the bruising on his jaw, pulling him in closer- their foreheads touching.
“But Sol- you are- to me you’re worth everything.”
Sol fought back a stream of tears, unresisting as Lo pulled him in for another kiss. For the first time in a while, Sol let his guards down. He let all inhibitions loose and just relished in the softness of the human’s lips- the way their body pressed into his- the way their tongue slipped softly behind his lips, exploring his mouth as Lo deepened the kiss, and Sol let them.
Sol held the human tighter, gripping his hand securely- but softly into their hair. Lo returned the favor, a gentle hand against the back of his neck as they continued, keeping the vampire pressed securely into them as they kissed.
Sol began to let his tears freely fall as the human kissed him. Because for the first time in a long time- Sol actually felt worth something.

Neuvillette
The Traveller and Paimon had decided to make an unexpected visit to the Palais Mermonia to see Neuvillette and Furina since they happened to be in Fontaine.
"Hey Sendene!! We are here to see Neuvillette and Furina!!" Paimon shouted out floating happily.
"Hello Traveller, Paimon. You see Neuvillette is currently away but you can make your way over to his office, he shouldn't mind." the Melusine said happily
"Thanks Sendene! See you!!" The Traveller and Paimon opened the doors to Neuvillette's office only to be met with an unfamiliar face.
You were sat down reading a book, with one leg crossed over the other deep in the book that you don't notice the two individuals walk in the room.
"Ummm...Hello there!! Whoever could you be?" your head shoots up to look at the Traveller and Paimon a look of suprise and happiness on your face at the same time.
"Ah! The infamous Traveller and Paimon!! Neuvi has said so much about you! It's so nice to finally meet you." you shoot up and hold the Traveller's hand, shortly moving to patting Paimon.
"You sure are energetic....but you never answered my question!" Paimon shouted putting her hands on her hips.
"Oh dear...that's my bad hehe...I am Y/N, its lovely to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you too Y/N!! So what are you doing in Neuvillette's office? You must be awfully close to give him that nickname" Paimon asks as the Traveller looks a bit confused as to how you had gotten so close to Neuvillette and how they didn't know who you were.
"Well I am Neuvillette's-" just as you were about to explain your presence, Neuvillette and Furina walked through the office doors making you smile warmly.
"Neuvillette!! Furina!! You run up to them giggling.
Furina walked through first, making her the first victim to your hug.
"Ah! Y/N!! It's nice to see you too" Furina smiled softly as she hugged you back.
"She's close to Furina too?! Just who is she?!!!" Paimon shouted feeling in the dark as the Traveller already had their suspicions...
"Oh how did you not know? She is Neuvillette's..." Just as Furina wanted to reply to Paimon's exclamation you squealing turned all their head in your direction.
"Neuvi~ I missed you..."
"Hello, my dearest. I too missed you an immense amount." Neuvillette said warmly making Paimon and the Traveller shocked at the love in his eyes and Furina unfazed by it.
You went on your tiptoes and wrapped your arms around Neuvillette's neck hugging him before placing a soft kiss on his lips before pulling away and handing him a cake box.
"I took a break from work to bring you a cake but now I'm gonna go...have a nice day at work and I'll see you at home!"
"I cannot wait to see you at home my dear, stay safe."
Neuvillette cups your face and places a kiss on both cheeks as you give him the cake, hug him tightly and pack your things.
"It was lovely to meet you guys!! Maybe we can meet up sometime!! See you Furina!!" you smile and wave to Paimon and The Traveller and Furina as they stare at you dumbfounded as you walk out the doors and Furina smiles and waves back.
"It is good to see you two, how have you been faring?" Neuvillette smiled turning to the Traveller and Paimon.
"UH...ERM....ARE WE GONNA IGNORE THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM??!! WHO IS Y/N TO YOU?!" Paimon screamed as Neuvillette held a neutral face.
"Oh Y/N is my wife. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to put her in danger."
"That makes so much sense...its quite cute actually!! I can't believe THE Chief Justice has a wife!! For how long?" Paimon seemed to be extremely amused as the Traveller sighed at how dense Paimon was.
"400 years"
"SAY WHAT??!?!?"

Wriothesley
"Erm...can you hear that Traveller?" Paimon sounded uneasy as the Traveller gave her a look of uncertainty at whatever was currently going on in the Duke of Meropide's office.
There was currently shouting going on that was so loud that a few people gather around his office to see if they could get anyone the drama. (that the only entertainment they get down there)
"WELL IF YOU DIDN'T PUT MY CAKE IN THE BIN THEN I WOULDN'T BE HERE TO BE HONEST, WRIOTHESLEY!!"
"UGH Y/N I TOLD YOU, I CAN GET YOU A BETTER ONE!! PLUS YOU ARE SO LOUD THAT I BET EVERYONE IS OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW!!"
"OH REALLY MR DUKE?? I LIKE THAT ONE CAUSE YOU MADE IT!"
"Y/N YOU AND I BOTH KNOW IT TASTED LIKE DIRT! AND STOP SHOUTING!!!"
Outside the office people were mumbling different things.
"Damn her sentence is gonna be for life if it wasn't before...."
"She's a soldier...."
Sigewinne showed up next to the Traveller and Paimon with an fed up look on her face.
"They are at it again...." She sighed and placed a hand on her forehead.
"Sigewinne!! Just what is going on in there?" Paimon asked as the Traveller flinched at another shout.
"You better go see for yourself..." Sigewinne pushed the Traveller and Paimon in the office and they climbed up the stairs to see a random woman and Wriothesley stop arguing to look at them.
Your demeanor changed completely as you turn your body to face them fully and smile.
"Oh hello! You must be the Traveller, and her cute little friend Paimon!" you smile softly as Paimon giggles and the Traveller greets you.
"Don't make Paimon blush!! However, the main issue is why you guys are shouting so much!!" Paimon places her hands on her hips like an angry mother.
Just as you started to calm you started getting heated.
"Traveller, I wouldn't usually be so desperate...but I could really use your help..."
"Hush it, Wrio." Paimon and the Traveller look at each other in shock.
Not only were you rude to THE Duke of Meropide but he also listened to you.
"Well, funny you guys asked....my HUSBAND here made me a lovely, beautiful delightful cake...last night which I enjoyed immensely!"
"Y/N-" Just as Wriothesley wanted to start you gave him a glare that shut him up.
"I REALLY enjoyed the cake, but my husband insisted it tasted like ass....so this morning after he had gone to work and I wanted to eat this cake I wake up to see it in the bin. So I am simply asking my husband to explain himself."
You fold your arms directing your attention back to Wriothesley.
"Wait....wait...wait...YOUR HUSBAND????!?!? WRIOTHESLEY THIS IS NEWS TO ME...." Paimon shouted as both the Traveller and Paimon both put their hands on their hips.
Wriothesley sighed and rubbed his hand over his face.
"Guys....this is Y/N my wife of 3 years."
"Not for much longer is you keep this up."
"Y/N!! I'm sorry okay, I will make another one for you tonight." You immediately perked up and smiled warmly as you gave him a tight hug he returned, before you gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"There we go, it wasnt hard was it! Anyway, I gotta go back to work...see you guys around and see you tonight, Wrio." you waved as you walked downstairs and left.
It was silent for a few minutes as the Paimon and the Traveller stared at Wriothesley in disbelief.
"I didn't want to tell you in these circumstances but-" Wriothesley started
"YOU BAKE??!!" The Traveller and Paimon spoke up in sync.
☆•~•☆☆•~•☆☆•~•☆☆•~•☆☆•~•☆☆•~•☆☆•
Alhaitham
It was a lovely day and The traveller and Paimon were walking through Port Ormos, just as a little relaxation walk.
"Hey Traveller, isn't that Alhaitham? Let's go say hi!" The Traveller nods and they both go and say hi to Alhaitham despite him talking to you.
You turn your head and notice the Traveller and Paimon approach your boyfriend so you tapped him while he was talking so he would turn around.
"Ah, Traveller and Paimon. How are you? What brings you here?" Alhaitham turns around as you shyly stand behind him hoping they don't notice you.
"We are great! Just came here for a walk. What about you."
"I am discussing things with my partner...." Alhaitham glanced back to you suggesting you make an appearance as you only cower behind him, gripping his arm tight.
"Uhhh....I'm assuming that's them behind you in the Akademiya uniform." Paimon says crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow in confusion.
Alhaitham nods before turning around and grabbing your shoulders, steering you infront of him. "Introduce yourself Y/N..."
"H-Hi....I am Y/N...." you don't say much before wrapping your arms around Alhaitham tightly and shoving your face in his chest. He wraps his arms around you smiling faintly (not going unnoticed by The Traveller)
"Sorry, she is usually really shy..." Alhaitham deadpanned.
"How on earth can she be your partner?" Paimon asked kind of shocked that he was tolerant enough to work together with you.
"She is actually a very valuable asset. I don't appreciate your language." Alhaitham said it neutrally despite the cold look in his eyes.
Before anyone can say anything tou mumbled out from Alhaitham's chest.
"I wanna go home...." you squeezed him tighter as he did the same.
"Well, we are going home now, she seems a bit overwhelmed so we will catch you another time." Alhaitham says moving away making Paimon and The Traveller feel a bit weirded out at how close they were for partners.
"Hey wait!! I'm sorry I said that....I didn't mean it...are you scared of us?" you looked away from Alhaitham's chest smiling slightly at them but not letting go.
"I'm scared cause you guys are so cool, Alhaitham told me all about you!" you spoke softly before turning away and earning a head pat from Alhaitham.
"Well done for speaking Y/N, dear." Alhaitham said as you looked up at him and placed a kiss on his cheek.
"EWWW! JUST WHAT TYPE OF PARTNERS ARE YOU?!?!" Paimon shouted as you and Alhaitham shared another small kiss before walking away.
"Romantic partners and work partners."
"WHATTTT!!"
