#din please

Din, you have to stop. You smoke too tough. Your swag too different. Your b!tch is too bad. They'll kill you

Din had told you this hunt was going to be long, much longer than the usual, and that left you to treasure every last piece of him you could get in his absence. His comforting scent always faded from your shared bed after the first two nights, so when you’re going on the third, you’re already eagerly starting to seek something else out. That’s when you come across the torn cape and tunic, left in a heap somewhere as if Din meant to come back to it later.

You make it your job, now.

Any moment you have to yourself while Din’s gone, you set to work. You patch up the holes in the ways your mother had taught you when you were young, not caring if you accidentally prick yourself because you can only think about how you’re helping Din, providing him with more of what he needs. Just holding the fabric in your hands makes your heart swell—having this small piece of him makes his absence that much more bearable.

You’re going on night five alone when you finally finish sewing and you clean the fabric, pleased when you’ve thoroughly washed it and it continues to smell like him. It makes your eyes water a bit upon returning to your shared bed, your chest aching for him as you hold the cape and tunic close to you. In fact, it makes you a bit bold, and you dare to exchange whatever you’re wearing for his tunic just to have it envelope you. That night, you use the cape as a blanket, needing to completely drown yourself in whatever you can to ease your aching heart.

That’s when Din comes home to the Crest, making sure he remains quiet because he’s certain you’re asleep. When he finds you in your shared compartment, laying on your bed in his tunic and covered in his cape—both freshly sewn and washed—Din can feel his own heart soar and yearn for you, in the same strong way it has even since he left the Crest for this hunt. He always knew you meant a lot to each other, but to see this right in front of his eyes, after days of missing you with a pain deeper than any wound he’s received, it makes him nearly fall to his knees in relief of seeing you again.
