Lord, grant that I shall never seek so much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, or to be loved as to love with all my heart.

Summary - Your clumsiness brought you closer to the one you've always loved.

Warnings - Fluff

It started out as an accident, a pure accident mind you.

Way back in the very beginning when you all arrived on earth, you realized you were more accident prone than you gave yourself credit for.  Although compared to the human race you were graceful, you still had moment when you woful trip over your own feet and knock something over.  Ajak thought it was just a quick you had, Ikaris was more annoyed with it especially when it came to a battle confrontation.

But with Druig, he thought it was enduring and more.

Perhaps it was a good reminder for him that even though you were all Eternals, there were still small pieces and moments that you each had that made you all unique.  Sprite’s sarcasm, Gilgamesh’s love for cooking, Athena’s wisdom, Sersi’s gentleness, and so on.  Even Makkari had a decency to steal and have sticky fingers.  Druig knew that this own quirks were more mental and borderline aloof, but that was him.

Yet with you, he discovered your clumsiness in the best way.

Back in Ancient Babylonia, you two were walking side by side and chatting about the humans race, nothing seemed out of the ordinary at first.  He loved hearing your opinion on the humans and your own love for the fragile species at hand, if he could he would listen to you for hours on end.  You were animated in how you felt, in what you wished for the humans as their evolution was unfolding in front of you.  It didn’t help that he thought of you as beautiful, even with the Eternal beauty that you had, there was something more to your beauty that caught his eye.  The way your smile made your eye crinkle?  Or how your hair would shine in the light and remind him of the golden wheat in the fields?

His mind was too occupied when you tried over your foot, falling over against him and making him fall too.  The pair of you ending up collapsed on a bench, his arms around you to help you upright as you were perched in his lap.  

Your eyes were big and frozen from the action, but it was Druig that was in utter shock.  He felt his heart racing so fast and his voice lost from the feeling of having you in his arms.  Almost like the dreams he had back on the Domo, those dreams of being able to hold you in his arms,  It was now a reality, a weird reality but one nonetheless. Neither one of you moved for a long moment, but it was like something deep inside unlocked within the pair of you.  You both were charged for good. 

“You okay?” He asked you sheepishly, you nodding your head rapidly.  It wasn’t helping that he was close enough for you to see the sparkle in his eyes and the small beauty marks along his chin.

“Y-yeah…thanks,” you replied, your tone was out of breath, but he smiled from hearing it.

It was the start of something organic and beautiful for the pair of you.

You two are as friends, sold friends at that, and you found that Druig liked you having in his lap.  Nothing sexual of course, but it was almost like a running inside joke for the two of you to know and no one else.  You didn’t mind it, growing as a friend with Druig and seeing a new side of him that none of the others could see or understand.  You loved it when he teased Phastos or made fun of the always serious Ikaris behind his back, how he was kind in helping Gilgamesh with meals and giving Sersi sound advice.  But most of all, how he was gentle with you and showing you a new side to living on the Earth.  He loved sharing time with you amongst the humans and enjoying all they could give: long walks together, meals together, even going to the feasts that the humans threw together.

You had no care to what the others would say about it, you were far too happy that you had a friendship building with Druig.  Kingo teased that he was falling in love with you, but you never took it seriously.  Not that you had self doubt or no self assurance, but you had a feeling deep down you were not worthy of someone as kind, generous, powerful and big as Druig.

But Kingo was right: Druig was falling hard for you.

He loved seeing you first thing the morning during meetings and debriefs, he craved hearing your voice as you were descibed in detail all the things you discovered in town.  He enjoyed hearing you laugh at one of his jokes or at the local human children that would hang on your words during story time.  Everything about you intrigued him and made his love for you heighten.  

But ti was you plopping in his lap that made him fall in love all over again.  

You’ve done it so many times: when he wanted to show you a paragraph in a book that Makkari gave you, or when you wanted to share a new snack to discovered from your time out and about.  It made his heart beat like rapid fire, or make his eyes brighten slightly.  He had no idea how long it took for him to fall for you, and he had to wonder if it was right thing to fall for you. Sure Ikaris and Sersi were together, but he didn’t want to have another headache for not just himself but for you.  The last thing he would want is to have you in an uncompromising position.  

Still, he pulled you into his lap when he misses you from being apart from one another all day long.  For some odd reason he had to breathe in the scent you carried within your hair: lavender and a hint of coffee that you discovered was one of your favorite things to drink.  Druig remembered a time when you were crying after being scolded by Ikaris after a brutal battle against a Deviant.  Ikaris reprimanded you for not helping out as much as you could and nearly having Kingo killed, though Kingo reassured you that he was fine.  Druig found you in tears, pulling you into his lap and cradling you close as you cried into his chest.

“He can never compare to you when It comes to strength,” He explained against your hair as you were still crying into his shoulder, clinging onto him as he went on, “You strength is worth more than 100 Ikaris’s and then some.  I want one ounce of that because I’ve seen how good you are, how brave you are, and how strong you are, for the humans.  He doesn’t deserve you, not for one bit,”

You passed and sniffled a bit, hearing those words and letting them wash over you like a rush of water.  It made you lean back a bit to see his eyes.  He was looking up at you, his blue eyes massive as you could tell he was telling the truth and not being swayed.  You searched his eyes, feeling his arms around you in both protectiveness and in intimacy as you gulped and felt a need to act, a need to be bold, a need to show him.

So you showed him as you leaned in a kissed him.

Within a millisecond, he kissed you back and pulled you in closer.  You two were kissing as if you were waiting for years, almost centuries even, to act on your feelings.  Maybe you were, but the way he kissed your cheek and kissed you with both softness and with passion it made your head spin and your stomach tumble.  Your fingers were in his hair, his hands along your hips, it felt like heaven.  It was heaven, and in the end after you two finally pulled away from each other, you were grinning so wide that your cheeks were hurting.

Druig saw that radiant smile and he too smiled back before you dived in and kissed you again.  You would remember your first kiss hundreds of years later, as if It was yesterday.

The End
