    Summary

    The quiet of the entire atelier bears its weight on Olruggio’s shoulders. Even the gold tassel dangling from his cap beside him seems to twinkle at his discontent.
    Maybe it’s time for a break. A much-needed one, as he’s sure someone else would say.

    A gentle knock echoes in the room. An all too familiar head pops through the doorway.

    “Of course you’re still awake.”

    Qifrey slides into the room, the heavy door creaking behind him. For a brief second, the weight that’s ever present on Olruggio’s shoulders seems to lighten — or maybe it’s just the fluttering in his chest.

    Or: Qifrey always finds his way back to Olruggio. For Olruggio's sake and his own.

    Summary

    “Are you really in such a rush to get up?” Olruggio asks him, leaning in close to drop a kiss onto his forehead. He tilts his head just slightly to whisper into his ear, “Really? What's out there that's so much better than stayin’ in bed?”

    (Or—it does get better. Olruggio makes sure of it.)

    Summary

    “Dear me, are you trying to bribe me with, what-” he smiled as he sneaked a peek past Qifrey’s shoulders, catching a glimpse of a dark reddish liquid in which freshly cut oranges were bathing.

    The previous banter died on his tongue and his eyes widened. That was not lemonade, and it sure was no soup.

    “-is it wine that you’re making?” he asked, genuinely surprised.

    “A merchant from the east was presenting this traditional recipe from his hometown. A sweet winter drink made to warm the hearts and redden your cheeks, he said,” The corner of Qifrey’s mouth tugged at the words. “I simply could not deny such heartfelt advice from a jolly man.”

    "Your compassion will be the end of our savings, whatever tempting recipe you’re making this time.”

    A glinting blue eye twinkled under the orange lamp of the kitchen, turning to him at last, knowing. “Is it tempting enough for the beast to come out of its burrow and drink with an old friend?”

    or: two old friends drinking warm wine by the fireplace.
