Fluff time!

Pairing: Cleo Rosehyn x Aster Silva (@xvi-the-tower)

Ft. Magni Cleosson, Tikos, Amaranth Silva (@/xvi-the-tower)

Better Than Good

“IT’S MEEEEEEEE!”

A loud child’s voice rang out across the peaceful meadow, effectively shattering any sense of calm. A small blonde boy bounded towards a colorful picnic set up where his Mother was setting up a variety of food. Her curly red hair fell freely down her back and she smiled happily in his direction.

“I see that, Mo Stóirín,” she laughed and opened her arms for him to run into. “Did you enjoy your time with Aster?”

She looked from the boy to the man trailing behind who’s bright smile seemed so natural on his face.

“Really keeps you on your toes, that boy of yours!”

Aster plopped down on the blanket and fell onto his back with a happy sigh. She leaned down to give him a sweet kiss on his cheek.

“Ah Cleo, you spoil me,” Aster joked and rolled over to put his head on her lap where she started absently running her fingers through his lovely dark hair.

“Me too!!!”

Magni bounced in place with excitement until Cleo leaned over and covered his face with affectionate kisses. He giggled and squirmed. Aster playfully threw a hand to his chest and looked offended.

“I’m feeling so left out! Poor me...”

It worked immediately as Magni turned from his Mother and went to give Aster a cheek kiss as well. Aster’s hands flew out and grabbed him suddenly to pull him close and began tickling him.

“Aha! You fell for my plot!”

Magni roared with giggles and squirmed all over at Aster’s attack.

“Mama! Help!” He managed to get out between laughs.

Cleo pursed her lips and tapped a finger to her chin as if contemplating.

“Well, I suppose I must,” she sighed.

Gently grabbing her son she pulled Magni away easily and spotted the mischievous look in Aster’s eyes. As soon as she let Magni go, Aster was on her with wild butterfly kisses all over her face. Now it was Cleo’s turn to dissolve into giggles, her light musical laughter.

“Well,” a new woman’s voice broke through. “Should we come back later?”

The couple paused and glanced up to see the newcomers. Amaranth stood with her hands on her hips and a playful smile next to Tikos who smirked just like he’d caught kids with their hands in a cookie jar.

“I don’t think we’re needed anymore, Firebug. All the fun is happening without us,” he laughed.

“Maman, you wouldn’t miss out if you were on time,” Aster teased.

Letting Cleo go a bit, Aster sat up and slid an arm around her waist.

“Tiiiiii! Ammmmmma!”

Magni ran at them and Tikos swooped down to lift the boy up into his arms with a grin.

“Who’s hungry?,” Tikos asked. “And who’s thirsty.” He shot a cheeky look at Cleo and Aster.

“Come eat before you say something rude,” Cleo insisted.

The four adults spread out on the blanket while Magni switched from lap to lap. Together they dug into the good food, wine, and merciless teasing that came naturally to the group.

Later that night, Cleo and Aster walked along the riverfront back to her clinic. Aster held tight to the sleeping Magni while Cleo carried the picnic supplies. The silence as they walked was easy and comfortable. She managed to wiggle a hand free and slipped it through his arm. Aster gave her one of his half smiles. Cleo looked over at the two of them with a feeling of safety and comfort.

“You know,” she started tentatively. “You’re so good with him.”

“I hope so, I do have seven nieces.”

“You know what I mean...”

She didn’t want to push, knowing it could be a sensitive subject for him. His smile wavered to something more serious.

“It’s... it’s nothing.”

“It’s amazing,” she cut him off.

“It’s no secret that I, well I really have no idea what I’m doing raising a child. It’s not something I ever imagined for myself... with the lifestyle I was raised for. Then suddenly I have this second chance to be... a Mother.”

She looked away for a moment.

“It has been a journey and I just want to say, thank you.”

That caught his attention and he raised a questioning brow at her. She gave his arm a reassuring squeeze.

“You’re so good with Magni but more than that, you make me think maybe other things are possible for me as well. Maybe even a... family? A lover?”

Before she could continue Aster’s lips were on hers passionately. Her eyes widened a moment then she leaned into it. Enjoying the kiss on the canal by a man who opened up a world of possibilities. He pulled away only an inch and kept his eyes closed to whisper.

“What if... what if I’m not the family type? What if I’m no good?” His voice filled with insecurity that had been buried deep down. Cleo kissed him with a wide smile.

“You’re already better than good, I know it.”

Happy Birthday Muriel! (I’m only a little late in my time zone 😅)

Happy Birthday, Mountain Man!

Vesuvia boasted a large diverse group of citizens and if you listened to the Praetor, full of juicy gossip. Luckily, few people listen to the Praetor. It probably has something to do with the worms falling out of their pockets... or just being unsettling in general...

The Praetor did try though and it was them who brought up the subject Muriel tried to avoid:

“Oh my, a birthday! How wonderful! I know a magician who has a talent for surprise parties.”

Suddenly the Mountain Man’s muscles seized up and he jumped up from Nadia’s brunch to excuse himself. Cleo grimaced at Vlastomil before excusing herself as well.

“Mon amour,” she followed after her lover. “You know Andi wouldn’t do anything like that to you.”

Muriel gave a small huff as a reply. He’d known Andi since they were teenagers and while he didn’t think she’d do it, there was always an edge of doubt to the actions of the little magician.

Cleo sighed but slipped her hand into Muriel’s to twine their fingers together. Her reassuring helped a little but not quite enough. The journey back to the hut was mostly silent except for Cleo’s humming and by the time they reached the forest he’d started to calm down.

Until...

Inanna burst up from a patch of tall grass to intercept her human. Around her neck was a blue bow with a letter attached. Muriel narrowed his eyes, he knew that handwriting.

“Muriel,

As one of your best friends, I would like to inform you that your request for everyone to ‘just forget’ about your birthday has been denied. Better luck next year.

P.S. We’re at your house, no one will jump out so please don’t throw anyone... again.

- Andi”

True to the letter, as the couple got closer they began to hear the telltale signs of a party. Julian’s fiddle was cutting through the forest with a fast happy song and voices could be heard chatting. Inanna brushed against Muriel’s leg and he reached down to pat her. He knew she just wanted him to have a good time.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!”

His friends yelled out as Muriel and Cleo came into view. Notably though, they hid behind the tables as they did it.

Muriel rolled his eyes. He’d only thrown one person and it was their fault for sneaking up on him.

Andi’s large green hat poked up from behind a table until he saw her eyes peek over at him. Cleo tried to stifle a giggle.

“Whis...” Muriel shot Andi a stern look. Though she wasn’t deterred. The smaller mage stood up and proudly presented a lemon cake that looked as though the decorating process had gone awry. Icing and edible flowers were scattered around in seemingly no order.

“Papa!”

Ah.

Magni leapt over the table with Roan following as fast as his little legs could go.

“Andi let us help her make your cake!” Magni’s smile was as bright as the sun and Roan reached for Muriel as soon as he got closer.

“Roan help!”

“Roan did a great job! Didn’t you?” Magni praised his little brother who bashfully laughed.

It was too much and Muriel found himself smiling, how could he be angry at that? He pulled his sons in for a hug.

“Alright, lets see the cake then.” He sighed but the smile stayed put.

Andi grinned and brought it up to him with a small candle flickering.

“Make a wish, Muriel!”

Muriel looked around at all his friends gathered to celebrate his life then down at the two boys he loved so much and finally at his wife who stood at his side with a radiant smile.

What more could he wish for?

“Roan wish!” Little Roan puffed his cheeks up and blew at the candle as hard as he could. The whole forest seemed to fill with laughter.
