Kavan.Kavan lifted his head, just in time to see Fyn enter the cave.As expected, he was carrying more baskets full of fruits and vegetables. Fyn took a deep breath and leaned down, dropping all the baskets he was carrying in one swift motion. He then wiped the sweat that dripped from his forehead with the back of his hand, "They just won't listen to me." "Have you told them?" "Countless times!" Fyn muttered, crossing his arms against his chest. "I told them that there's more than enough food here, but they still keep on leaving these on the edge of the forest." Kavan chuckled. He closed the distance between the two of them, curling his arm around Fyn's waist. As usual, Fyn blushed, averting his gaze. Tilting his head, Kavan gripped his chin with his fingers and brushed his lips along with the man that he loved. "How is her daughter?" Fyn's eyes twinkled. "She's almost ten now. It's really strange when I think

Fyn."That was a terribly long slumber." Fyn rubbed his eyes, blinking warily as light invaded his vision. Slowly, he pushed himself up, confused. There was something heavy on his chest and when he tipped his head down, he saw Havu, curled in a ball on top of his chest. The serpent lifted its head, tilting it as if bowing and darted its forked tongue out."Hello, Fyn," the serpent's voice echoed inside his head. "That was a terribly long slumber."Fyn pushed himself up, carefully placing Havu down on his lap."What happened?" Havu met his gaze, tilting its head to the side. As if in a trance, Havu crawled off his chest and walked towards the entrance of Kavan's cave. Running his hand through his hair, Fyn pushed himself up, stretching his arms up in the air to get his blood pumping. A groan escaped his lips when he stretched too far up, a pain erupting on his side.Furrowing his brows, he

Kavan.Fyn fell limply in his arms.There was nothing but silence. Kavan was still staring at the villagers of Gashea. He could feel blood pumping to his head, could feel his heart beating erratically. What just happened? What was happening? He licked his lips, still unsure of what just unfolded right in front of his eyes.Surely not, he thought. Surely not, he prayed.Not Fyn.Please, he prayed again, silently, the thought repeating inside of his head in repeat. Not Fyn.With widened eyes and his mouth agape, he looked down. He watched as Fyn's blood seeped through his blouse. What was once white and clean was now stained with deep red. A red that was still spreading on his blouse like a paint on a canvas. For a second, Kavan thought his blouse had always been red, but that was impossible, wasn't it? Not

Fyn.Fyn clenched his basket full of herbs tight against his chest.He blinked, the sky right in front of him. The cool grass brushed his cheeks while the soil was warm against his back. Slowly, he pushed himself off the ground, a tiny bit groggy. How had he not noticed that he had fallen down? Shakily, he stood up, brushing dirt from his knees and elbows. Like a mantra, he kept repeating the nursery rhyme, One for sorrow.Crouching down, he picked up the herbs that had fallen from his basket when he had fallen down. Strangely, he couldn't remember how he fell. There didn't seem to be rocks blocking his path or could have caused him to trip. Neither were there strong winds that could have made him unsteady. It was truly strange, yet some part of his brain was telling him that everything was completely normal. "That's all of it," He muttered to himself as he chucked the very last herb into his basket. The herb looked funn

Fyn.Fyn wanted to laugh.If things had been different, he would appreciate just how Kavan looked in orange light. The demon looked utterly magnificent under the crimson rays of the blazing fire. The flying embers and charcoal making him seem like an angel that had just been sent down from the heavens. Still, Fyn knew that with the amount of sweat that was now dripping from him and Kavan, their scenario was a whole lot different from the image that he conjured up in his mind.Oh, but how wonderful it would be, Fyn thought to himself, forcing himself not to smile. It would be inappropriate to do so at that very moment. If only things were that simple.If only.But it is not."Can you hear that?" Fyn asked, his ears straining as he leaned once more in Kavan's arms. He should be scared. It should have terrified him, being in such close proximity to the demon that his village had feared for ages. And ye

Kavan.Something was wrong. Wiping the sweat that formed on his forehead, Kavan couldn't quite tell how he knew.There was something off. Instinctively, he felt his wings escape from under his skin, protruding in great lengths and width. As softly as he could as to not wake him, he wraps his wings around Fyn, bringing the mortal close to his chest. As soon as he felt the small breath Fyn did in his sleep, Kavan felt himself relaxing. For a few moments, he stayed still, just enjoying the warmth of the small mortal.Until he feels the same shivering sensation that climbed up his spine. Sighing, Kavan raised his hand between the both of them and softly brushed his knuckles along Fyn's cheeks.Surprisingly, the mortal leaned into his touch, a satisfied sigh escaping his lips. Without meaning to, the tips of Kavan's lips tilted upward.He realized he's been doing that whenever the mortal does anything surprising
