@seeliecourt asked: "#amnesia: send is suffering from amnesia & doesn't recognize receiver." // tagged appropriately starters;; open
Despite all their knowledge and experience, the two wizards should have known better by now than to venture off on dangerous treks alone. While they are highly skilled in magic, the unpredictable nature of their surroundings always held a small percentage of risk that could potentially lead to disaster. Disasters like today, when an incredibly close battle leaves his partner temporarily unconscious.
“Essek!” With a sense of urgency, Caleb rushes to the drow's side, heart pounding in his chest. He gently lifts an injured Essek into his arms, cradling him close as he waits for those familiar violet eyes to open and meet his own. When they finally do, he cannot help the sigh of relief that falls from his lips. “Schieße,” he curses under his breath, gripping him tighter. “Are you alright? I was worried about you.”

@seeliecourt asked: "❛ note. give my muse a note saying: 𝒾𝒻 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉 𝓂𝑒, 𝒾 𝒶𝓂 𝓎𝑜𝓊𝓇𝓈. 𝒾𝒻 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒹𝑜 𝓃𝑜𝓉, 𝓈𝒶𝓎 𝓃𝑜𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝑜𝓃 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝓂𝒶𝓉𝓉𝑒𝓇, 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝒾 𝓌𝒾𝓁𝓁 𝓃𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝓂𝑒𝓃𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝒾𝓉 𝒶𝑔𝒶𝒾𝓃." // loud and defending silence prompts;; open
As Caleb's eyes flutter open, he finds his head throbs painfully with each pulse of his heartbeat. Lingering remnants of last night's alcohol-induced haze cloud his thoughts when he tries to remember. And as the human shifts in bed, a small piece of paper catches his eye on the bedside table. He recognizes the familiar handwriting immediately and his evening memories come flooding back in a rush. Essek. That’s right, he was with the Nein in Nicodranas and Essek helped him to bed.
He's not quite sure what he's expecting the note to say when he reads it, certainly not what’s written on it. Caleb reads the note multiple times, over and over again, to make sure he isn't imagining things. Why now? He can’t help but wonder, but it is an afterthought as he tucks the note into his pocket, a surprised smile playing on his lips. Caleb takes a moment to tie back his unruly bedhead, an attempt to make himself somewhat presentable before he speaks with Essek.
Caleb's heart beats furiously against his ribcage as he approaches Essek's door, hand trembling as it reaches out to knock. “Guten morgen, Essek,” he calls out, “Are you awake?”

for @seeliecourt || post echoes of the solstice
You’ve worked hard to overcome all of this…
Don’t let him get in your head...
Beauregard's piercing words reverberate through his mind, strong enough to shake the memories of Trent Ikithon from their hiding places. He clenches his fists, wishing for the strength and willpower to resist Ikithon's satisfaction in ruining another day of his life. But the pain and anger still flow freely through him, like a raging river threatening to sweep him away. Trent is gone and with him another fragment of Caleb’s stability.
The agony that Trent Ikithon inflicted on him paled in comparison to this—emotional pain cut deep, worse than any physical scars he bore on his arm.
But Caleb hasn't had a moment to process his own emotions, he's been occupied dealing with Veth's wrath over Luc and bidding farewell to the Nein once more. Only when he crosses the threshold of his home in Rexxentrum, can he finally breathe a long sigh, soon catching his expression of vulnerability as quickly as Essek finds him lingering near the front door.
“Essek,” Caleb's demeanor shifts, a glimmer of interest shining through the grief he tries to hide behind a facade, “You’re okay. I was so worried for you, schatz.” He couldn't bear to think of the guilt and regret that would have consumed him if Trent had succeeded in harming Essek too.

for @seeliecourt || birthday blues
Caleb has never been one to relish in his own birthday. He doesn't despise it by any means, but he's always been content to simply humor his friends and partner who insist on celebrating him each year. Not this year, this year feels different. Fifty years have seemingly snuck up on Caleb, leaving him with a strange sense of dread. It feels as if he blinked and half of his life has somehow vanished before his eyes.
Apparently, fifty years is supposedly to be a big deal for a human, or at least that is what Beau tells him, but Caleb finds he views aging a bit differently these days. He doesn’t want to celebrate, instead providing Essek with every excuse in the book about why he’s much too busy with work to see the Nein or do anything special. If Essek sees through his flimsy excuses—and he likely does—he doesn’t push Caleb.
He knows he's been in a brooding mood all day, lingering too long in front of the mirror before class. Caleb scrutinizes every strand of his hair, which is now an equal mixture of silver and ginger. In another decade, it will likely be completely white, just like his ever-youthful partner's. And in the evening, when Essek makes an effort to pamper and dote on Caleb, showering him with affection. Or sneaks up behind him on the couch and presses a tender kiss to that certain spot on his neck, instead of melting into the touch and taking his love to bed, Caleb feels as though he wants to crawl out of his own skin.
It’s not Essek’s fault, and he hates that he cannot simply get over himself and enjoy the affection from his partner who Caleb is still very much attracted to. But his thoughts race at breakneck speed, hurling a barrage of insecurities and doubts in every direction. He can’t slow it down, can’t quiet the voices that whisper their doubts and fears with each press of soft lips. “Schatz,” Caleb speaks softly, earning the drow’s attention, “I know you are trying to celebrate me, but maybe we could just sit and read tonight?”

@seeliecourt asked: "[kissing it better] sender kisses receiver after bandaging up." // non-verbal angst prompts;; open
The human, with a furrowed brow and deep concentration, observes as Essek carefully wraps the last bandage around his forearm. The once pristine, white cloth is now stained with bright red, evidence of the many injuries Caleb has sustained on their perilous journey through Aeor. Their supply of potions is dwindling by the day and the treacherous landscape offers little safety for two wizards venturing alone… it is a miracle they have survived this long.
“We should have brought a cleric,” A nervous laugh escapes Caleb's lips, breaking the tense atmosphere that has formed between them after their recent skirmish. Unexpectedly, Essek leans in and presses a gentle kiss to the bandage wrapped around Caleb's arm. Oh. His eyes widen and he blinks rapidly, the bright blue of his irises meeting his violet gaze. The frozen tundra of Aeor suddenly feels much hotter. Caleb is not oblivious to this… whatever this is that has been building between them, now more apparent as they are alone. And he cares about Essek, quite a bit, in fact.
Caleb has no idea how long they have been locked in this intense gaze before he becomes acutely aware of it. “Danke. I am, ah, so happy you decided to accompany me here. It hasn’t been easy,” his cheeks begin to flush and he suddenly feels as ridiculous as a stammering, love-sick school child.

Encouraged by the soft, sensual noises that escaped his elf’s lips, he continues to move his finger in and out of Essek’s body with a slow, deliberate rhythm. “I have missed you too, schatz.” There are many things Caleb misses when his favorite study partner is away, but he has a sneaking suspicion those are not the sentiments Essek wants to hear right this second.
“I’ve missed having you underneath me like this, laid out on my bed.” Instead, Caleb speaks the more sultry desires, he’ll save the others for afterward.
The human continues in this manner until Essek's body becomes comfortably accustomed to his fingers. And as much as he enjoys working his lover open with eager hands—watching as he reacts to each stretch of his fingers—his own body twitches with interest thinking on how horribly he would rather be the thing buried deep in his partner. Caleb could not tear his gaze away from the sight of his lover’s face even if he tried his very damnedest.
he whimpers as caleb withdraws, thinking the human is teasing him again. he's relieved to feel caleb's weight, having missed the contact for even that brief moment. essek leans his head against his, gasping quietly when his lover presses in. he lays several kisses to caleb's neck and jaw, fervent and devoted.
his words are the mindless sort of a drow well - titillated. " i am not impatient, " essek says, despite the fact that he'd labelled himself thus but a moment ago, " i am just . . . eager. " his kisses travel up towards caleb's mouth. " i missed you. "

A low groan lingers from Caleb's throat as he feels the pressure of Essek's thighs tightly squeezing around his head, prompting him to rest his hand on the side of the drow’s leg and return the squeeze with tenderness. It drives him mad, the way Essek's breath hitches and he's momentarily tempted to remain right here instead.
But they both have other things in mind.
Caleb releases his lips from Essek's length, planting a gentle kiss on his thigh. "Einen moment, bitte," he murmurs, rising to his feet and sifting through the contents of his bedside table until he finds a small bottle of oil. “Since you are so very impatient today, Herr Thelyss,” a small chuckle escapes his lips, leaning back atop his partner with a kiss to his cheek.
The warmth of Essek's body against his own is comforting, chests pressed together where Caleb can watch him closely. As fingers glide over the smooth curve of his lover’s ass, slowly, he presses a newly slicked finger into the heat of his body.
the hum vibrates around essek's prick, pulling another helpless noise from his throat. granted permission, his hand starts to move, tightening in the human's hair. ironic that he's pinning caleb in place, when his partner's the very thing that's driving him wild.
he reaches down to cover caleb's hand, and sees the question in his eyes. " yes. yes. of course. " a moan escapes his lips, and essek claps a hand over his mouth instinctively.
his mind's being driven further and further from his despair without him realizing it. there's no room for such thoughts, not when he's being stimulated so thoroughly. his thighs tense, giving caleb's shoulders a little squeeze — hoping he enjoys the possessive feeling. his caleb, caretaker of his pleasure.

Caleb eases into the tub, the warmth of water enveloping him like a comforting embrace, along with the pleasant scent of fragrant oils. He exhales a tired sigh as he settles against Essek, feeling the tension slowly melt away from his weary muscles. The familiar sensation of being held in Essek’s arms brings a sense of peace that he had not realized he desperately needed.
“Ja, the water is perfect,” Caleb murmurs, leaning back against his partner’s chest. Blue eyes flutter closed, allowing himself to simply exist in this moment of calm. “Thank you for this.”
He reaches for the soap and begins to wash his body, leaving his ginger hair for Essek. The simple act of cleansing feels like a ritual of renewal after everything he’s been through the last few days. “You know, I don’t think I’ve ever felt as grateful for a bath as I do right now.”
caleb's pale skin makes his litany of marks all the more visible. essek feels his eyes welling, and blinks rapidly to clear them. he tries to shift the momentum into cataloguing instead — noting each injury for care afterwards. " yes, if you would like, " essek answers. he wants to be mindful of caleb's boundaries, knowing how his own can shift on a bad day.
he offers the other a hand to step into the tub, if needed. then he begins to shed his clothes. it used to be something that had to be done in stages — starting and stopping due to essek's anxiety. now, he often looks forward to it, confident caleb will like what he sees.
essek settles into the tub, the water easing the tension in his body. he drapes his arms around his partner once they're close. " are you comfortable? is the water hot enough? "

Caleb lets out a low, rumbling hum in response, reverberating throughout his entire body. Bright blue eyes flutter shut in pleasure and he happily savors the sensation of Essek's fingers carded through ginger hair, manipulating him into the perfect position like a master puppeteer. Every touch and tug down to his core, completely at the mercy of the elf.
Gods, those words fall from Essek’s lips, and while Caleb will never admit to it… it's a primal satisfaction, knowing he can elicit such a response from him. A skeptical man who believes religion to be a crutch and yet… Caleb, with no more than a touch, can be deserving of such an expression of reverence.
A pale hand, dotted with freckles, travels up the side of Essek’s thigh. Caressing soft, lavender skin as it moves closer and closer to the swell of his ass. Caleb's gaze meets Essek's, a silent question lingering between them, seeking permission to push further.
a whimper gets trapped in his throat as caleb takes him in. essek always has the instinct to repress, to curate his noises because what if he makes a humiliating one? but he certainly enjoys caleb's.
there's a lingering tingle on his thigh from the kiss. caleb's always so tender with him. he doesn't deserve- shh, shh, shh. none of those thoughts now. whether he deserves him or not, essek has him. he has him so entirely — has his clever tongue wrapped around his cock, his throat taking him deeper and deeper.
" gods, " essek whimpers, " caleb. " lavender thighs frame the human's face. he reaches down, working his fingers into caleb's hair. if he has a handful, perhaps he'll feel he has some measure of control over the waves of pleasure the other's wracking through him. " hum if i may . . . pull, " he breathes.

As Caleb nods in response to the question, he leans down and presses a soft, lingering kiss to the very thigh in question. Essek's skin is like silk under his lips, a comforting warmth that makes Caleb want to stay there forever. “Ja, of course,” he revels in the feeling of closeness after all.
He takes pity on his impatient lover, finally, a hand reaching out to grasp the velvety smooth length, giving an affectionate kiss along the prominent vein before enveloping the head with his warm mouth. The human groans immediately, sound muffled by the warm flesh of Essek's cock in his mouth. Waves of pleasure wash over him as he tastes the salty tang of skin upon his tongue, his own arousal growing, aching against the fabric of his sheets as he focuses his attention on Essek. Only Essek. Always Essek.
Essek. Essek. Essek.
He envelopes more of the drow into his mouth, willing his throat to relax and welcome the intrusion, eagerly accepting it until the tip of the drow's cock brushed against the back of his throat.
essek grins when caleb laughs, peppering his bristled cheeks with kisses. if he rewards the noise, perhaps his lover will repeat it more often. a wave of warmth spreads from the kiss, spilling down his body. he gives a silent, content sigh as the other positions him underneath.
the feel of caleb is everywhere, the human weaving sensation like somatics. essek shifts when appropriate to allow him easier access, running his fingers up and down his back. he pets caleb's hair as the human descends, his breaths growing shorter.
" you . . . you mean- " essek trails off, his head falling back on the pillow. " yes. wherever you like. may i rest my thighs on your shoulders? "

Caleb takes a deep, steadying breath as he savors the brief moment of privacy before Essek returns to his side. Straightening his shoulders, he nods and extends his hand to the drow’s.
With an ease that only comes from years of being together, he undresses in front of Essek. Coat sliding off his shoulders, followed by his purple scarf and the rest of his clothing, aided by the gentle touch of his partner's hands. Caleb looks terrible, catching a quick glimpse of himself in the mirror is all the reminder he needs.
His eyes are bloodshot from tears, the dark circles of exhaustion etched deep into his pale skin. And as he turns his head, a slight hint of redness and irritation can be seen along his neck from the collar placed there. He’s lucky to be alive right now, all things considered. “You are going to join me, ja?”
he swallows at the sound of caleb's laugh, continuing to pet him. " i'd love one, " he says, gently, " can you rise with me? i'd like to set you on the couch while i draw it. "
after making caleb as comfortable as possible, he heads to the bathroom. they have a small collection of reasonably priced soaps, oils, and salts. essek starts the hot water running, and adds some of caleb's favorite fragrance. perhaps he can give the human a scalp massage while he washes his hair.
he caresses caleb's shoulder when he returns, there to help him walk if need be. " are you ready? " he asks.

The moment Caleb's body sinks into the softness of his bed, a genuine laugh of pure amusement erupts from his chest. It echoes off the walls of his room, filling the space with warmth and joy. “Oh, I forgive you, schatz. I’m simply flattered you deem this a worthy use of such powerful magic. We used to have to beg you to teleport us.” And now the great Essek Thelyss uses his spells to get Caleb into bed with him faster.
It’s endearing.
With a gentle lean, he presses his lips against Essek's, breaths mingling as bodies draw closer. Caleb's hands settle on Essek's waist, his touch both possessive and tender as they shift positions, and Caleb maneuvers himself atop the elf. “Then I won’t keep you waiting.”
With each layer of clothing Essek sheds, Caleb assists him with gentle hands and eager lips. The warm skin of Essek's neck finally revealed, and Caleb presses a trail of tender kisses along his jawline and down to his neck. The rough, prickly scruff of his beard grazes every inch of Essek's exposed skin, leaving a trail of goosebumps in its wake. Each hair life of its own, tickling and teasing as he moves across his torso. “Can I put my mouth on you?”
gentle tingles run down his shoulders as caleb pets him, soothing his anxiety like he's a rabbit with a pounding pulse. liebling. essek loves that he can feel smaller here, simpler. he has no history, he's just caleb's darling.
" yes. i want you to be comfortable. " he carefully dismounts, and reaches down to help the human stand. essek smiles, slipping an arm around caleb's waist. " come with me? " he asks.
the familiar thrum of essek's magic surrounds them both as he teleports them. ( he has a bit of pillow fluff from their room for just such an occasion. ) they land on the bed together, the springs creaking with the sudden weight. " you will forgive me, i am sure, " essek says, in an arched tone. he's started to slip out of his outer layers. " i am not a patient man. "

And it does amuse him. Caleb's laughter echoes softly, but it is a weak and hollow sound against the background of his reddened, tear-stained eyes. Tears fall freely, leaving trails down his cheeks into his copper beard as he tries to regain composure. “I imagine Jester will be disappointed if you did not. We wouldn’t want that.”
His forehead remains pressed against Essek's shoulder, a comforting warmth though the coolness of the ground seeps through his clothes and into his bones, but Caleb is not quite ready to move yet. For once, he’s grateful Jester has already shared most everything with Essek. Surely, his partner knows the full extent of how close Caleb came to death or how terrified he was bringing Luc into such a dangerous battle. For now, he allows himself to simply bask in the comfort and safety of Essek's embrace.
Blue eyes bore the weight of stress and exhaustion, both physical and emotional. “It has been… such a long few days.” First Ludinus and then Trent. “How would you feel about a bath?”
caleb feels like a wounded animal in his grasp, and there's nothing essek can do but let him bleed out. and yet, he knows that simply having someone in these moments can be a great boon. he gives caleb another squeeze, his free hand mimicking the human's- carding through the copper locks he loves so much. he continues to whisper to him as he cries, soothing nothings to keep caleb's heart afloat.
he chuckles, breathily, at the words. he knows caleb's trying to distract himself, but he can't help but feel a pang at the subject. while he's happy for his friends, it's the cruel reality of existence that you can be in the worst pain of your life, and the world will keep spinning.
" it is. " essek says. he gently caresses the back of caleb's neck. " we will have to get you some new robes. something pretty. " he adds a touch of primness to the word in hopes of amusing the other. it's a recent hobby of his- styling caleb's hair, dressing him up, and the like.

For a moment, Caleb's brow furrows, his expression a mix of concern and genuine confusion. He opens his mouth to ask if Essek is being serious, but the sight of tears welling in the drow's eyes stops him in his tracks, and Caleb’s heart clenches. Nein, Essek is being entirely serious, he realizes.
“Essek, I—” he shakes his head, “it’s quite the opposite. I… do not have words to express how much I depended on you down there, how much I still do. You talk of all the ways I’ve saved you, but what you don’t see, despite how so very brilliant you are, is how much you have done the same for me.”
And as much as they hurt me, I don't want to change a thing. Caleb's mind replays Essek's words like a novel, each line etched into his very being. If it hadn't been for Essek's intervention that day, Caleb shudders to think of the mistake he may have made. If only Essek could see that.
Digging into his coat pocket, he extracts a small handwritten note and shows it to Essek, “Did you mean this, Essek? Do you want this?”
my head will be fine come tomorrow. he nods, but still feels a pang of sympathy. " perhaps we can visit mr. clay after we have . . . talked. " the sight of the room brings him a bittersweet mixture of awe and sadness. he remembers the last conversation he held with caleb here, full of despair and guilt. his hand reflexively tenses, squeezing the human's.
essek sees him struggling and takes a breath, but his words fail him too. he gives a little smile and a headshake at the first sentence, before the next have him spellbound. his eyes are caught on caleb's, reflecting the stars beyond.
“ i- “ he blinks rapidly. his eyes are welling with tears. no, no. don't. " i did not . . . after the temporal dock, i wondered if you . . . still felt you could trust me. "
he wants to say more — to explain how he didn't mean to tempt caleb, only to support. that he's sorry, that he hadn't meant to enable something he shouldn't. but his guilt holds him back, because the words feel like an attempt to sugar coat the evil thing that he is.

I do not know you.
This is very, very bad. With a sense of urgency, Caleb's eyes quickly scan Essek's head for any signs of injury or manipulation. The tension in the air is palpable as he tries to determine if this sudden change is due to physical damage or some form of magical interference? He has to keep Essek calm and prevent him from attacking or worse, fleeing to the Dynasty.
“My name is Caleb,” he keeps his hands high, palms out. “I am a friend.” Much more than that, but there’s no need to startle Essek any further yet.
Whatever version of Essek he is talking to right now, he needs to know Caleb will not harm him. He rummages through his pockets until he finds the emblem of the Bright Queen hidden among his belongings. “See?” he shows the pendant to the drow, “I’m a friend.”
essek's feelings are all over the place. he gets a spike of nonsensical concern at the sight of the other's injuries. he's angered by his likely feigned ignorance. there's pain in his head, sharper now that he's fully awake. he wants to attack so badly, to leave, but he should be careful not to waste his spells.
" i am in an unfamiliar place, " essek says, keeping his voice even with some effort, " i am injured. i do not know you, but you speak like i do. " and touch me in a familiar manner. he doesn't mention the latter for fear of the stranger seeing how angry he is about that in particular, and exploiting the weakness.

Pale fingers run through the soft, snowy curls of Essek's hair, gently caressing each strand before pulling him in for a tender kiss. Breaking away from the lingering kiss, Caleb's head nods in affirmation as a gentle laugh escapes his lips. Blue eyes sparkle and his cheeks flush with a warm hue. “Ja, okay, liebling.”
With a gentle brush of lips against the underside of his lover's jaw, he feels the rapid rhythm of his heartbeat at the pulse point of his neck. “You have me,” Caleb's whisper is barely audible, a soft breath that tickles against the soft skin of Essek's neck.
And as much as Caleb relishes the comforting warmth of Essek's presence atop him, he also knows attempting to take things any further on his cramped living-room couch would not be nearly as alluring in reality as in his mind. Ironic, yes, as he was the one who brought them here in the first place. “Can we continue this upstairs?”
essek groans at the first question- overwhelmed by caleb's scent, the delicious sound of his voice. he's gotten the human's vest open, and has worked a hand underneath his shirt; stroking up and down his chest. he stops when he feels caleb do so, allowing the other to study him. his breathing slows at the delicate touch.
the question makes him look down, and take stock of his feelings. he is emotional, and he doesn't want to be. it'll put a stop to what's happening here. but sex doesn't have to be all playfulness and seduction- it can be comfort as well, if his partner wants it too.
essek moves past caleb's hand to lay across him again, cuddling to him. " physically, i am well. but in my heart, i need you tonight. " he lifts his head, meeting his lover's eyes. " i want to be full of you, caleb. i want to know nothing else but you. "
