    Summary

    His breath passes through his body in cycles, and he allows himself to focus on it. The stretch in his muscles as his chest expands and back widens. Each inhale seems to unravel something in him, allowing the tension to bleed from his body.

    Once more he observes Olruggio’s features, taking in the color of his eyes — an intriguing shade that reminds him of a star-filled sky — and the harsh line of his mouth. He observes the dark strands that fall across his forehead, the cut of his jawline, the bridge of his nose.

    I want him and this life we built together.

    I want to live.

    Summary

    “Coco,” He starts, doing his best to hide the urgency of his instructions, “I need you to run back to the atelier and find Olruggio. Can you do that for me?”

    “B-but Professor Qifrey, you’ll be all alone in there…!”

    “Coco, please. Tell him to hurry.”

    AKA Qifrey panics, doesn’t want to accept he’s panicking, and then tries to sweep the whole ordeal under the rug.

    Summary

    “Master! Master Qifrey! Coco’s hurt!”

    Agott’s worried voice echoes from upstairs in the entry hall, carrying down the steps into the kitchen where Qifrey is working.

    “I–I’m ok!” Coco hollers in reassurance, but Qifrey’s hands have already dropped the herbs they were binding without a second thought, leaving a scatter of tranquileaf sprigs strewn about the counter. The tone of Agott’s voice had sent a hot jolt of protective fear through his insides, his heart leaping to his throat, beating fast. He nearly trips over his skirt as he hustles up the stone steps into the living room.
    .................................................

    Coco gets a nasty boo-boo, and Qifrey helps get her fixed up. Some big feelings come to the surface and they share an emotional moment.

    A.K.A

    Summary

    "None of Olruggio's lessons had prepared him for the horrors of having to endure multiple uncomfortable conversations about his relationship to Qifrey. He wasn’t sure the library had any books on what to do when you semi-romantically swapped tassels with your best friend anyway."

    In which everyone teased Olruggio about the tassel exchange.

    Summary

    Olruggio pinched the bridge of his nose, then dragged a hand down his face. The lingering exhaustion from a late night's work was quickly catching up with him, and he hadn't the foggiest idea what to do with a lovelorn apprentice in the throes of a first crush.

    Through the gap in his fingers, he could see Agott slowly curling in on herself like a wilting flower. For a moment, with her arms wrapped around her thin frame and her eyes downcast, the apprentice looked very small. Guilt sank its hooks into his regrettably tender heart. Finally, Olruggio sighed and patted the seat next to him.

    "Right. Come 'ere, lass."

     

    One quiet winter's morning at the atelier, Agott and Olruggio have a talk.
