Laced Drink - Whumptober Day 21
“You drugged me?” Hurt laces Erëac’s words as he scrubs his face, looking up at Lirek.
“I had no choice.” Lirek tries to soothe, running his hand through Erëac’s hair. “You weren't going to rest, Ereac. I couldn’t let you do this to yourself.”
“You lied to me!”
“I’m sorry, my amans.” He brushes his thumb across his cheek, gently pushing him back into the cot. “Stay down and rest. You need it.”
Erëac reaches his hand up to hold Lirek’s as it rests on his cheek, a smile on his face. “Can I have some water?”
“Of course.” Reaching behind him, he picks the cup up,a soft chant ashe holds it out. “Slowly, yeah? Then you can go back to sleep. You can be mad at me when you wake.”
He sips carefully, leaning against Lirek. The room still spins, and it doesn’t help his headache. Lirek keeps a hand around his back, waiting for Erëac to finish. It doesn’t take long for him to grow heavy against him, the drink working quickly. He lays him down, making sure he’s comfortable and still breathing as he presses a soft kiss to his forehead.
“Sleep well, my love.”
