So what if Raf was paired with an MC who’s extremely perceptive. Like they know Raf is putting on an act and they don’t push. Obviously, he’s not ready so you’ll wait and continue to reach out your hand time and time again. Reassure him via your actions, words, communication, and body language that you’re not leaving and that you care. Valuing clear communication is a huge priority for MC.

Raf would be completely baffled by this and also wary and suspicious. Absolutely asks, “why are you doing this? Is this some sort of trick?”

Reader responds with “No, you just look lonely and you seem like a good person, so I want to get closer to you… Although, I have noticed a strange pull to you… If I had to describe it, it’s like the gentle pull of a tide, coaxing you into the ocean. It’s not aggressive or anything. It’s just encouraging you to explore the reality of the sea. Both the beautiful, brutal, and bizarre. At the end of the day, the complete whole of everything makes it complex and interesting.”

Raf is speechless because I think at this point he wouldn’t have told you he’s a Lemurian.

He asks in a quiet, breathless whisper, “Why did you use a sea metaphor?”

You tilt your head with a fond laugh. “Why wouldn’t I? You love the sea. You talk about it constantly, it’s the subject of most of your paintings, you love seafood, and you live on the beach. I used a comparison you would understand best.”

“Do your feelings go as deep as my love for the ocean?” he questions.

He struggles to keep a steady voice. Rafayel involuntarily swallows. His ears glow a warm red. You think about it.

You don’t want to lie, so you hum, smiling, “Not yet, but I would like to get to try. Will you help me get to know the ocean?”

You put out your hand, silently asking for his. The artist hesitates. Then with slow, careful movements, he clasps yours.

“Ok,” the young man agrees.

You grin and pull him closer. ”Thank you. I’ll take good care of you, my pearl.”

Rafayel’s breath hitches as he stares at you with wide eyes. He’s never felt this loved or cared for in his entire life. It’s so much, he almost feels overwhelmed. He wants to keep this. Maybe… Maybe he can have a good thing for once and not fear someone leaving as strongly as before. It won’t instantly go away, but it can be a gradual progression. They’ve shown him that even when he wasn’t at his best, they would still stay by his side after all. He’s still scared and tentative because he knows how deep his feelings are for them. However, they chose to stay even through some rough waters.

Rafayel takes a deep breath, glancing away, overwhelmed by the notion.

He places his hands on their shoulders and palms their shirt.

“Please do,” he murmurs before wrapping them in a hug and burying his head in their hair.

They chuckle, returning the motion and rubbing his back.

“I promise.”

Put Your Hand On My Shoulder | Paul Anka.....

Hit play

Before anything else, this is a story that I not consider as headcanon, I just something I wrote because one day I thought about it and wanted to toy around with the story of what would have happened if Drac had met Ericka when she was a girl. The drawings were made by me, yeah, I know they suck, but I wanted to reflect what I was thinking about on that moment and what came out from me.

The music is by Michael Danna and the song’s name is Pondicherry.

Antes que nada, esta es una historia que no considero como headcanon, solo la escribí por que un día se me ocurrió y quería jugar con esto, que hubiera pasado si Drac hubiera conocida a Ericka cuando era una niña. Los dibujos los realicé yo, si, apestan pero querían que reflejara lo que estaba pensando en ese momento y que salía de mi. 

Thanks to @jadeoccelot for sharing, sorry this is not done in sequence.
