    Summary

    The Silverwood had proven to be quite difficult to separate himself from, and without it, Qifrey feels incomplete in some ways. With its branches now safely resting outside upon a span of land visible from the atelier’s windows, Qifrey finds that incomplete feeling can be filled with other things: being a dutiful teacher, a helpful witch, and a loving partner.

    But it is that last thing that he finds difficult. Not because he does not love Olruggio, no — he loves him far more than words can attest — but rather that the feeling of love and safety he’s given still causes lingering discomfort due to the fear the tree had placed in him. But day by day, he becomes more accustomed to it.

    Summary

    Olruggio rumbled. He could feel the vibration in his chest, from Olruggio’s to his own. “I’m not leaving you,” he said, voice gruff and fumbling. “I don’t — I want — you know I’ve wanted to hug you too, right?”

    He sounded terribly embarrassed. Qifrey giggled, half in endearment and half mind-numbing relief. “Right,” he murmured, fingers relaxing by a fraction. “Sorry. You used to be so affectionate with your hands.”

    Summary

    It was quiet, and when Olruggio’s head raised he saw that ever-present look on Qifrey’s face again.

    The one where he looked hesitant, a little bit displaced, and so startingly unsure of himself.

    “Olly, I’m...” he started, awkwardly trailing off as his hand traced to the top of his cap. “You know I don’t do too well with being... celebrated.”

    He spoke the words as if the mere thought of it made him uncomfortable, his shoulders hunching up as he coiled that ribbon tight around his finger.

    Olruggio reached between them.

    “Of things worth celebrating,” he murmured, catching the ribbon with his finger and gently pulling it loose. “You being born is at the very top of my list.” He leveled Qifrey with a look. “Understand?”

    Qifrey nodded slow as if in a daze, whispering out a hushed, “Yes,” as he watched Olruggio weave the ribbon between his fingers.

    Or

    Qifrey’s birthday comes around again, but this year Olruggio hoped to make it a bit more memorable.

    Whether Qifrey liked it or not.
