ㅤ “no、however is it common for you to shake as much you are whilst the medication is taking effect? or are you seeking other means to distract yourself? it isn’t healthy.” ㅤ

ㅤ finally standing from his seat、hand outstretched to claim zorba’s left wrist. tugging him forth to the couch. “then you will rest for some time. alongside me.” quite demanding in his words、ensuring zorba sat before bringing him closer to his frame. ㅤ

ㅤ “given it’s a persistent issue、i could send someone to personally ensure it gets delivered.” could be an option. one hand wrapped itself around zorba’s shoulder、tenderly toying with long locks of hair. “you’ve done well thus far、zorba.” ㅤ

ㅤ “belittling yourself once again、zorba. you should comprehend by now via previous words spoke of my views on you. allow me to do as i wish、if concerns are present then i shall display assistance.” after all、zorba was his only true ally in all of this. ㅤ

ㅤ “even if i must repeat those words over and over. zorba、you are as important to me as you are my goals. upcoming days shall not progress with you not comprehending that fact.” pause. “if there is something specific you ask of me to help you understand、then speak...” ㅤ

ㅤ “even so、the same could be extended to myself. you’re aware of my own birthright— however had no issue with acceptance or loyalty. it seems the two of us are far more alike than one may think.” still just、rubbing locks of hair between gloved thumb and finger. ㅤ

ㅤ sudden shift succeeding dire spoken words caused louis to move; not by much at all. just to give zorba enough comfort. hands were delicate upon his face; gaze not once escaping the eyes locked upon his own. “you may.” ㅤ

ㅤ “as have you wish myself. loyalty has always remained embedded deep within your veins、not once have you looked upon me with disgust or scorn.” gaze remained fixed upon interest piqued. “you deserve far more than what this current world offers、zorba.” ㅤ

ㅤ that kiss、it was exactly as before. soft、gentle. as if fearing that the very action would cause louis to shatter into tiny fragments. leaning in also、head tilting to slightly deepen the kiss. adding pressure. retracting in due time. “i hope concerns have quelled.” ㅤ

ㅤ lips formed a light smile upon actions taken、bowing his head in a nod. “then my concerns have also diminished、for the time being. i appreciate you ensuring my appearance is standard as always.” not that it posed any issue. “i’ve still some time to spend with you.” ㅤ

ㅤ “that it does. however as does red. i’ve no concerns of spilling blood、so why should i with any other colour?” but that thought process was appropriate. given the time arose soon、the two could very well spend an evening together. ㅤ

ㅤ “you understand my words、correct? i meant it regardless of colour. it doesn’t exclusively mean the two we speak of. however it seems that you remain host to shrouded feelings. i on the other hand、am unafraid of opinion or feelings the masses may hold.” ㅤ

ㅤ 𝘾𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙪𝙢 𝙕𝙤𝙧𝙗𝙖. ㅤ

ㅤ “those who intend to hold it against me shall have their opinions pacified. actions and feelings i may host should not involve anyone else、the same should apply for yourself as well.” defences can be sought in case of attack. louis spared no worry. “having fun?” ㅤ

ㅤ “save those thoughts for a different time; now certainly is not it.” even so.. hand cupped his face. using thumb to rub against his cheek. “despite that、i’m glad you’re able to somewhat freely speak your mind.” even if it was because of the lack of medication. ㅤ

there is an aching void in my heart which i am convinced the world can never fill.

ㅤ “good. just know that i am not silencing you. i’m certain you’re aware that there is a time for specific words and actions.” hand retracted in due time. “given you shall return to your duties、i shall not keep you any longer. however i intend to check up on you later.” ㅤ

vivia.⠀ this account will still be multiship、however i have established a main ship. so that is off the cards、mhmmhm!
