. he'd find comfort in the way you call his name . the way you put aside all honorifics and only recognize him as himself — no childe , no tartaglia , for those names are only a reminder of his piling sins , only ajax . there's a hint of honey in your tone whenever you call out to him , one that he finds so so addicting and alluring . you've strung him in with your voice that echoes with the melody of the gods and there's no way he's getting out .

. whenever he gets the opportunity , he brings you on a trip with him to sneznhaya so you can see his family . he adores the way you interact with them , the way you caress his younger siblings with dandelion hands and ruffle their hair in your smooth palm . it brings a smile that spills with love poems and roses to his face , one that reaches his eyes and forms soft dimples on his cheeks .

. he'll constantly murmur , " five more minutes , " under his morning breath , the stench unbearable but the words that fall making up for it . his bare arms wrap around your torso , holding you in place as he watches the strings of sunlight drape over your shoulders so beautifully with squinted eyes . he wants to stay like this forever .

. you seem to pay no mind to his job and his duties — no matter the countless warnings he sent your way , telling you that you wouldn't be safe with him , you never seem to care , insisting that it simply doesnt matter to you . when he questions why , your only response is " because i love you and who you are , " and that's all he needs to reassure himself .

. although he's constantly busy , he'll always find ways to pamper you . occasionally , he'd return home after a couple days of being gone , an adolescent grin painted onto his sculpted face as he holds a small gift that he found on his journey in his sweaty hands . on other days , he'd prepare a whole date for you either before or after he gets to work . because of his strict schedule , you've often found yourself being shaken awake at 2 am by his eager touch , cheeks burning aflame with cherry hues as he speaks , " i've prepared a surprise for you up at your favorite tree — lets go before i have to head out . " he's more than aware that you're insanely sleepy , however , it's a win for him , as he gets to witness you doze off into your pretty little dreamworld on his lap .

. with his workload , its rather easy for him to forget things . whether it be a missed occasion or a small favor you asked of him , he finds himself losing track of things more often than he'd like to . he always makes up for it , of course — even if it takes him emptying out his entire wallet , no matter how many times you told him not to .
