#polypome

❀ they get together after events in book 6, which has made them attached to the hip(s)

❀ they had trouble sleeping for awhile, even before they got together. rook and epel would have nightmares about vil succumbing to his overblot that would later morph to vil withering away from his exposure to tartarus. vil would have straight up night terrors, which more often than not involved him killing rook and epel and others during his overblot or himself withering away

❀ that’s when they start having movie nights for when they can’t sleep. they always end up falling asleep in vil’s bed together, mostly free of any nightmares

❀ when someone does have a nightmare, cuddling helps a lot, particularly for vil

❀ vil is often in the middle of cuddles, but sometimes epel will sprawl across him and rook

❀ cuddles eventually lead to soft kisses on the forehead/cheek, but one day epel slips up and kisses vil on the lips. he’s so embarrassed and apologetic but vil quiets him with a kiss (and kisses rook right after too so he doesn’t feel left out) before turning to go back to bed, leaving rook and epel flustered all night (they may get out of bed to kiss each other so they don’t wake vil...)

❀ epel is very hesitant to admit he wants a relationship with rook and vil. he’s not experienced with dating or a romantic

❀ any romantic gestures from vil goes over epel’s head, while any from rook causes him to get embarrassed because of how…gushy rook gets (and ofc he gets flustered when rook and vil are lovey with each other)

❀ they’ll talk about their relationship eventually, agreeing to keep it on the down-low for their own reasonings(vil’s career, rook being secretive in general, and epel feeling conflicted about having two boyfriends or dating at all)…but as their relationship progresses it becomes an open secret because they can’t keep their hands off of each other

❀ rook can and will show affection to his boyfriends and gush about them

❀ during NRC they have a sort of open relationship, so they go on dates with other people sometimes, but after they graduate they get too busy to be an open relationship

❀ while epel is finishing his studies at NRC, rook and vil work with his family to have a home built outside of harveston. its nice and secluded and surrounded by woods, and the house is nice and roomy if they ever decide to expand their family (by adopting pets/kids cough or making kids)
