sakareth and adulationis // @vampire-mythoverse

(for those of u unfamiliar with vmv, sakareth and adulationis are two of the crowned demon princes - of wrath and of pride respectively. leviath is mentioned - hes the prince of envy)

going with a semi-established relationship for this one, hurt/comfort themes (also, takes place right after adu comes out as trans!!)

-

Sakareth wasn't good at comforting others. It was far from his strong suit, and pushed him out of his comfort zone. But for Adulationis... he hated seeing the younger prince look so upset and frightened, trying to hide it behind unwavering eyes and tightly pressed lips.

It was for that reason he sought the other prince out after they had been officially dismissed, braving the chance of Leviath's wrath to find Adulationis and offer him, at the very least, a hug. Finding Adulationis alone had been hard enough on its own, but actually speaking the words he'd thought of on the way over was harder. Eventually, he settled for holding his arms open, his pale face burning ruby red in an embarrassed flush.

Prince Adulationis simply stared at him, eyes colored the same as topaz blinking up at him in confusion. Then, the carefully crafted mask that concealed the other prince's emotions shattered, and Adulationis stumbled forward into his arms.

The other prince said nothing, which Sakareth was personally grateful for. He hadn't ever held someone before, but it felt nice. It was comfortable enough, even with the way Adulationis's shoulders shook softly, and he gently raised a hand to thread through the other's now short, dark hair.

"I like your new name," Sakareth murmured, and Adulationis whimpered, pulling himself closer to the other prince. He wrapped his inner pair of wings around them, cocooning them in a dim, red tinted light. "It fits you. Did you pick it out yourself?"

"Y-Yeah, I did," the prince of pride sniffled, letting go of Sakareth for a moment to wipe at his face. "I like it better than my old one."

Sakareth continued to gently run his hand through Adulationis's hair, smiling softly as the other prince leaned into his hold. He was beginning to calm down, his shaking starting to slow. Sakareth couldn't imagine how much courage it took to call the other six princes to the pride circle, reintroduce yourself to them, and then ask that you be referred to with entirely different pronouns. Seeing Adulationis wilt under Leviath's stoic, unreadable stare was part of what spurred Sakareth on to find the younger prince and comfort him.

"I don't want to make this weird," he muttered, and Adulationis tensed. "But I'm kinda... proud of you, I guess. That didn't look easy to do."

Adulationis snorted, and without pulling away, raised a hand and gently punched Sakareth's shoulder. The other prince's one set of wings rustled, adjusting themselves as Adulationis thought of his next words.

"I thought Leviath was having a heart attack," he murmured, unable to stop his smile. Sakareth snickered, and that in turn managed to pull a giggle from Adulationis.

"Good, then we'd finally be rid of the stupid old fucker," Sakareth joked, and Adulationis outright laughed, pulling back from the hug to look up at Sakareth with a wide, bright grin on his face. It made Sakareth's heart stutter, only for a moment. He'd never seen Adulationis look so happy before.

"Thanks, Prince Sakareth," Adulationis spoke, his grin falling into something more tender. "For- yeah, this. Nobody's ever done this for me before. So, thanks."

Sakareth blinked. Nobody had ever... offered basic comfort to Adulationis? Suddenly determined, he spoke again.

"It was no problem. Actually, you can just... come see me if you ever need someone to talk to, or... this kinda stuff. I don't mind it. Actually, I'd... really like it if you did." His voice cracked and died, but his gaze stayed determinedly on Adulationis, watching the other prince gape, process his offer, and give in.

"... Okay," Adulationis agreed, a shy yet daring looking smile on his face. "I will."

Sakareth huffed gently, pulling his wings back from Adulationis. He stepped back, turned halfway, and paused. Looking back at the prince of pride, he smiled, the other prince's new name rolling off his tongue for the first time.
