“Darling?”
He grasps your cheeks, worrying warmth into your skin with his thumbs; try as he might, he can’t get you to stand. The drone of the downpour suppresses his sigh.
“Come.” With an arm under your knees, and the other clutching you to his chest, the man who once demanded Midgardians kneel before him does just that to lift you.
You drift in and out of consciousness, catching fragments of what’s happening. A lingering scent of rose. Water, pounding in gallons against porcelain. Coiled black hair, which becomes frizzed in the heat of the washroom… how it curls around your fingers when you reach out to make sure he is corporeal.
