Five Times Wriothesley Stayed (and the One Time Neuvillette Did)

by the_untamed_poet25

Five times Wriothesley stayed without needing permission (to listen to jurisdictional monologues, to weather the kind of rain that gets into your ribs, to pull a quill from unsteady fingers, to bleed on marble tile without apology, and to speak in Neuvillette’s defense before the world could question his name). And the one time Neuvillette, without armor, arrived at Wriothesley’s door and asked to stay, too.

A Fever Rocked to Sleep by the Sea

by the_untamed_poet25

“You know,” he rasps, voice still wrecked from fever and sleep, “you’re really good at this.” Neuvillette tilts his head. “At reheating soup?” “No. Well. Yes. That too. But I meant this.” He gestures vaguely with his eyes—because his hands are trapped under the blanket and his pride is trapped under Neuvillette’s patience. Neuvillette hums, almost dryly. “At fussing over you?” “At staying,” Wriothesley says, more quiet now. Neuvillette does not respond right away. Instead, he dips the spoon back into the broth, scoops a careful portion, and brings it up again—steady, slow, like ritual. He waits for Wriothesley to part his lips. Waits until the soup is gone before saying softly, “You are surprisingly easy to stay for.”Or, Wriothesley gets sick, and Neuvillette gets soft.

The Rain Learns to Stay

by the_untamed_poet25

Finally, Wriothesley said, “It’s loud, today.” He meant the sky. He meant the sorrow. He meant you. Neuvillette tilted his head. “It is.” Wriothesley wanted to ask what had made it so, but something in Neuvillette’s posture told him not to. Not yet. Instead, he tried something else. Something foolish. Something tender. “…Do you think you could teach me how to speak to it?” Neuvillette turned to look at him fully now. Wriothesley met his eyes without flinching. “You wish to learn to speak to the rain?” Wriothesley nodded, sheepish. “You always seem to know what it’s saying. I figure… maybe I should try to listen too.” Neuvillette regarded him in that impossible way of his, like he was not just observing, but witnessing. As if Wriothesley’s soul had poked out from beneath his skin and Neuvillette had caught it, cradled it, questioned it. It made his stomach twist, made his fingers clench, made something fragile rattle in his throat.Or, two men learn to speak a language made of silence and rain.

Even the Sea Asks Gently, If Watched Long Enough

by the_untamed_poet25

“Will you ask again tomorrow?” Wriothesley murmured. Neuvillette met his gaze. “Ask what?” “If I want to stay.” Neuvillette’s voice was quiet. Certain. “I’ll ask every day.” And Wriothesley’s smile, slow and wrecked and reverent, answered before he could. “Then I’ll keep saying yes.” Or, how a question held gently can feel like love.
