happy birthday @cjafjatkstke !! this is just a little drabble I whipped up for you hopefully u enjoy ๐
โYouโre being oddly nice to me today,โ you mumble to the man shadowed away in the corner of your room.
The man, your lover, broody and scouring, only glares at you. Itโs an affectionate glare he gives you, or tolerant at most. From all your time with Dion, youโve learned every twitch of his brow and angle of his frown to tell when heโs truly upset.
โNice?โ He echoes. โI act the same as always.โ
โLiar,โ you lilt, โyou took me out today and let me buy whatever I wanted without question. How is that anything in the norm for you?โ
โPerhaps I have tired of your whining and decided that the most efficient way to shut you up is to buy it for you.โ He says dully. Deflecting. Affection hidden under insults. Typical Dion.
You only huff, crossing your arms. โSo I whine and you let me buy it?โ
Dion shoots you a glare at that, permanent frown deepening into something only you could find adorable. Annoyed. But youโve never cared much about how annoyed he gets with you. Instead, your grin widens and you cross the room to perch onto his lap.
If he was so annoyed, heโd have pushed you off. But, instinctively, his hands migrate to settle on your hips, tugging you closer before drifting down to skim the tops of your thighs.
โAm I wrong?โ You blink innocently.
His answer comes as a flexing of his hand on your thigh, โStop doing that.โ
โPlaying innocent, minx.โ
At that, you only bark out a laugh, your hand coming down on his skin in a playful slap.
โMaybe if you say the special words, Iโll stop annoying you.โ
Silence follows after and all Dion does is look you, unamused. His eyes never leave yours. Deep, piercing pools of crimson that swallow you whole. Itโs easy to get lost in him. Heโs getting good at thatโdistracting you of the sort.
Slowly, your own hands creep up his body, fiddling with the raven strands of his hair that curls at the nape of his neck. He leans into the touch like moth to a flame.
And Dion thinks, maybe, he treats you a little too well. You donโt fear him enough like everyone else, it makes him want to fix that, but the thought of your fear directed towards him makes something curl viciously in his gut. He hates the idea.
The thought that someday he may lose whatever good descended upon his sinful, battle-hardened life. Dion knows, more than anyone, that the good things in his life donโt last. Not with him, but with you, he wants to savor it all a little more before it may slip away.
So he sighs, a long and deep exhale of resignation. His hand finds your chin, tilting your face to his with utmost certainty that youโll hear his words as blunt and stoic as they come out.
A pause trails behind the two words. For once, youโre not quite sure what to say. You can only smile, take his hand in yours, and curl yourself into his body as if the closeness can let him feel the joy in your heart.
โAnd?โ You whisper against the fine line of his jaw.
Another exhale from Dion, but he gives in quicker this time. Turning his head to your temple and pressing his lips there, something akin to a kiss. Almost as devastatingly gentle as the next words he murmurs to you.
