Azriel was back in her room the moment he heard the call. 

He’d placed Melanie down in her bed only ten minutes prior, but her sleep had been fitful and disjointed over the past day and Azriel hadn’t expected her to stay down for long. It was strange—the way the bond connecting him to you burned with the same protectiveness for Melanie. 

“Hey, Melanie,” Azriel whispered, kneeling beside her bed with his fingers resting on the outer edge of her quilt. “What’s wrong? Can’t sleep?” 

Melanie sat up in her bed with a small groan, the braid you had put in her hair earlier in disarray. “Yeah. Don’t wanna sleep. Where’s mommy?” 

Azriel hummed and pushed a wild curl behind her ear. “Mommy’s sick, so she’s sleeping. Like you should be.” 

“You aren’t sick, Mr. Azriel?” 

“No, I can’t get sick like you. Not right now, anyway.” 

Melanie’s brow furrowed and her head swayed. “Can you hold me like mommy does?” 

Azriel’s heart shattered in his chest at her request. Her sleepy eyes blearily stared up at him as he let out a shaky breath and attempted to push down some of his joy at her request. 

Maybe you didn’t fully trust him yet, but Melanie did. 

“Sure, sweetheart,” he replied, reaching out beneath her arms to hoist her up. When her head immediately found a home in the juncture of his neck, Azriel melted. “Are you feeling any better?” 

Melanie fisted Azriel’s shirt as he situated her against his chest. “Little bit.” 

Sometimes, when she spoke, Azriel could hear you in Melanie’s voice. 

He wanted so badly to be part of that connection. 

The want often scared him. 

“Can we go to mommy’s room?” she asked, pulling her head up to send him a sleepy question. “Not to wake her up. Mommy’s room is just nice.” 

The two of you always sought each other out—always found safety in being near. 

Azriel rubbed Melanie’s back and nodded with a smile that was fueled both by adoration and melancholy. 

Your room was dark when he entered. Melanie had taken a glance at your sleeping figure and then rested her head back into the crook of Azriel’s neck. He could feel each breath she took and felt each clench of her fists into his shirt. 

“Is this better?” Azriel asked, voice so low and careful he wasn’t sure if the five-year-old would hear him. 

But Melanie nodded and whispered back a small confirmation that made Azriel’s chest hurt. He held her closer to his chest and watched the rise and fall of yours as you slept an arm’s length away. When Melanie’s breathing didn’t even out after a few minutes, he placed a hand behind her head and started lightly swaying. 

“You have to try and sleep, Mel. That’s how you get better,” he whispered into her ear. 

“I’m trying,” she whispered back, strained and trying to keep quiet for her mom. “It’s hard, Mr. Azriel. My head doesn’t feel good.” 

Azriel tutted and hated that there was very little he could do for this illness. “I know, Mel. I’m sorry, sweetheart.” 

Her only response was to bury her face further into his shoulder. 

Azriel thought back to his youth, to the perils and hardships he had endured, and he sought after the light—the good moments. His mother’s singing stood out, the melody of a Night Court lullaby gently lulling in his mind. 

Azriel didn’t have much experience with children other than Nyx, but, with Melanie, that didn’t seem to matter. With Melanie, everything came to him with a practiced ease that didn’t feel deserved. But he took from it anyway. 

So, Azriel began to hum the lullabies from his childhood, wrapping a wing around the child in his arms to block everything else out. 

And she was able to sleep.

Do I want Eddie out of the closet as fast as possible? Yes. But I'm here to offer abc an idea: queer Eddie and the subsequent buddie confirmation as the midseason finale. @thatbuddie has the theory of buddie getting together on episode 118, which will be episode 8x12 and if Ryan is in every episode of the season until there, it will be Ryan's 100th episode, which, nice lol. Midseason finale is usually episode 10, so we build it up with Eddie questioning shit, leading to him questioning his relationship with Buck, leading to him finally saying the words "I'm in love with Buck" or something similar, to Bobby, to Frank, to Hen, as long it's not Buck, I'm not picky, as the midseason finale cliffhanger. Why is that a good cliffhanger? Well, queer Eddie officially makes buddie go from if to when. And buddie is something that doesn't exist in media. It's a queer slowburn where neither character was introduced as queer in a major network show. Unheard of. Which means crazy exposure. We all saw the reaction to bi Buck. Queer Eddie and buddie will make them be talked about EVERYWHERE. Why a midseason finale cliffhanger though, since that's true no matter what? Well, we want to maximize numbers, right? A midseason finale would allow them to let Ryan (with or without Oliver) lose for as many interviews as possible for a while. That would also mean a hiatus where they are selling Disney+ subscriptions while giving new people time to catch up with the show before the big event aka buddie actually getting together, but it's not too long to discourage people while waiting between seasons. If they play it right, they can even make 8a available worldwide and make it global. Riding that wave while letting pressure build, we come back, nothing concrete happens on episode 11, but there's a moment that builds the tension more and then on episode 12 love confession/kiss/getting together, whatever the fuck, and bam 911 goes down in history with crazy numbers. If they make the name of episode 12 some sort of buddie reference it would be cool too, because it builds the excitement. If they want maximum exposure? Queer Eddie as the midseason finale cliffhanger.
