Blitzø thinks Stolas's privileged little attitude is getting old. The Goetia has been living with him and Loona for a few weeks now. And, of course, they're bound to get on each other's nerves but Stolas had crossed a line today.
Stolas had woken up that morning in a bit of a bad mood. He was visibly annoyed and not happy to be where he was.
To be fair, Blitzø's apartment was no grand palace. This was far more uncomfortable than what Stolas was used to, but Blitzø tried his best to make it comfortable for him.
"Blitzø, I don't understand your obsession with these stuffed horses!" Stolas complained, tossing a stuffed animal onto the beanbag where Blitzø had been sleeping since the bird moved in. “They're everywhere all the time, don't they ever get in your way?”
“Not really. They're small, soft and they're magical,” Blitzø answered. “I don't have enough of them in my way, actually.”
“They're a bit obnoxious.” Stolas mumbled under his breath.
"Hey! Maybe you'd feel different if you had one of your own?" Blitzø suggested, arms crossed and offended that he'd speak that way about his beloved inanimate objects.
"I doubt that." Stolas had scoffed. "I've outgrown stuffed animals. They're far too childish."
“Whatever you say. Let's just get to work. We can talk about this later.” Blitzø said as he jumped off the counter he was sitting on and headed towards the door.
“Fine.” Stolas rolled his eyes, following.
Blitzø was about to prove Stolas wrong by finding him a stuffed toy even a spoiled bird prince like him could love!
After work, he told Stolas he had some errands to run and the bird had no questions- seeming perfectly happy to stay at the apartment by himself for a bit.
Blitzø was a bit annoyed…and worried, but he thought the space might be good for them. He went to a random toy store and took his time looking through the stuffed animals. He couldn't just get one at random - he had to get the perfect friend for Stolas!
There was a stuffie that was a bright yellow star with a cute smiley face- perfect size for cuddling and super soft- he knew Stolas and knew he'd love this!
Blitzø returned home with a smile on his face. “Hey, I'm back!” He announced as he closed the door.
“Blitzø!” Stolas stood up from the couch and smiled at Blitzø. “Where were you? I was starting to get worried."
“I just went to the store, Birdy. Why were you worried?" Blitzø asks.
“Well…” Stolas rubs his arm. “I thought maybe you were upset with me.”
Stolas fidgets with his hand nervously. “I'm sorry I wasn't exactly… kind to you this morning. You're letting me stay here, I shouldn't complain. I guess I've just been under a lot of…stress.”
“Hey, it's okay, I get it.” replied, taking Stolas’s hands. “I know this is a lot for you. No one is upset with you. We all snap at each other.”
Stolas sighs in relief. “Thank you for understanding, Blitzø.”
“Of course!” Blitzø says. “Oh! I got you something, by the way.”
The imp reaches in the bag he was holding and tosses Stolas the star plush.
Stolas struggles a little, juggling the plush from hand to hand before catching it. He takes it and looks down at the stuffed star, his eyes widened. “You- you- got this...for me?" Stolas asks him.
"Yeah." Blitzø says. ”It reminded me of you- since you like stars and stuff. Figured at least some of this mess should be yours, right?”
Stolas feels how soft it is, as if inspecting it- he squishes the soft material in his hands, and his eyes brighten with childish wonder.
"Well?" Blitzø asks. “What do you think?”
"It's...nice." Stolas says, giving it a small hug, then wrapping his arms around it.
"I'm glad you like it, Princey." Blitzø says. He smiled and walked away for a moment to get some dinner made for the two of them.
Stolas can't seem to let the plush go- he wants to cry and hold it forever- it's been so long since he's gotten to cuddle with one of these- he almost has this irrational fear someone might steal it from him.
Stolas doesn't respond, arms tightly around his new plush toy, staring at the wall as if he didn't hear Blitzø at all.
Blitzø tilts his head and sits down next to him on the couch. “Hey, you okay?” Blitzø asks him.
Stolas nods, still holding his star plush tightly- like his life depended on it.
“What's wrong?” Blitzø asks.
“Father never wanted me to have these.” Stolas says in a whisper.
“Oh…” Blitzø blinks at Stolas, looking at his face, recognizing the look in his eyes.
Stolas curls into himself on the couch. “He threw all mine away after my birthday.” He says.
“Well, that wasn't very nice of him.”
“But no need to worry; he's not here. No one is going to take it away from you. I promise, okay?” Blitzø reassured.
“What's your new friend's name, buddy?” Blitzø asks.
Stolas looks down at the plush. “Hmm… Aurora.”
“Aurora? That's a very nice name.” Blitzø commented. “Are you feeling kinda…small right now, bud?”
“I don't know what's wrong with me!” Stolas began tearing up, clutching his plush.
“Hey, nothing's wrong with you,” Blitzø says. “It's okay to be small sometimes.”
“Is it?” Stolas sniffled.
“Yeah, of course it is. Come here,” Blitzø pulls Stolas closer to him, giving the bird a hug. “You're okay. Maybe you needed this?”
“You've been under a lot of stress.”
Stolas nodded, wiping his tears with his arm.
“Maybe this is what you needed to relax.” Blitzø says. “And hey, if it helps, I'd call that a win.”
“I really like my star.” Stolas says. “Thank you, Blitzø.”
“You're welcome.” Blitzø says, kissing the top of his head. “Maybe next time you can come with me and pick one out for yourself.”
“Yeah, of course. Come here.”
Blitzø lays down on the couch, and Stolas lays atop of him, cuddling.
Blitzø covers them with a blanket and kisses Stolas's head. “You're okay.” He promises. “I got you.”
