Thank you, everyone!! and Happy Anniversary!!! :D

H, P and V from the SFW Alphabet for Valerius, pretty please?

Thanks for requesting! :D

[Find the alphabets here]  

≿———————-   ❈   ———————≾  

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?) 

❈   There would be a good reason needed for Valerius to hug anyone. Not even his parents are graced with such an affection, and he’s far from doing it to his lover. He might be willing if he ever had children, given that those innocent souls don’t understand he isn’t one to hug them and just go for it. But to embrace someone else there at least had to be a reason for him to care so much to worry that he’ll never see them again before he closes in for a short, strong hug. His s/o can ask, but they might not always receive what they wanted. Hugging simply isn’t Valerius’s strength. He prefers a well-placed hand at their hip or hooked arms instead to hold them close

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?) 

❈   Angered isn’t the right word, but Valerius thinks of himself as important enough to receive a lot of respect. Every little ‘disrespectful’ act can upset him and his ego; thus, his patience wears thin with people he thinks have no prestige. If it was another noble to make a misstep, he’d oversee it with a fake smile, but as soon as it’s someone he doesn’t deem worth, he’ll be snappy and rude to them. Valerius is a man who’s very hard to please after all

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?) 

❈   Valerius cares a little too much, definitely. It stems from the fact that Valerius very much knows what he wants in life and from life. He only wears clothes that he likes and thinks look excellent and expensive, and he does not want to be bothered walking over dirt roads or even rough streets. If a pair of shoes is ruined, it’s trashed, even if it just has some scratches on it. He also has to take very good care of his hair, so naturally, he uses expensive high-class shampoos and utensils. While he’s at it, he might as well bother with the rest of his body, keeping his skin soft and shining. It’s one of the few things you can only allow yourself when you are in a position like Valerius is and can actually afford it

wine tasting

consul valerius x reader

everyone loves a pain in the ass...

warnings: maybe some innuendoes? floof. spice and everything nice. soft angst, but i dont think so. sofff valerius? spicy valerius👌👌 swearing. i think there's swearing

a/n: sorry this took so long @taeguccibracelet and i think its kinda short. lil fast paced too. my ask is open.

now when nadia asked you to spend a day with valerius, you did not anticipate the forever drinking man to be so.. so.. so sassy.

i mean who could refuse nadia? portia came scrambling in as you finished speaking with nadia when the redhead announced the early arrival of some foreign ambassador the countess appraised your company and asked that you entertain her's for a while.

now honestly, you'd rather let them scream at each other until they lost their voices. neither of them got along, asra once dismissed himself, but the nadia's hopeful eyes were hard to ignore.

portia was silently thanking you a thousand times over as she trailed behind the countess.

when the courtiers got wind of this?

you? entertain them?

all of them scrambled for an excuse to be elsewhere. everyone except valerius.

"well? you heard the countess." he raised a brow, motioning to the door making the wine in the same hand violently jolt in it's glass. "entertain me."

you had to grit your teeth. bite your cheek. curl your fists. anything to keep from snapping on this arrogant son of a—

"are you going to stand there?" valerius shook his head unimpressed that his needs were not met. "if standing around is all you're good for, now that you've gone and defeated—"

"listen here, you pompous piece of palace trash." there went your restraint. words were flying fast and not a thought in your head would stop you from giving this man a piece of your mind. "the only reason you're here, valerius, is because nadia took pity on your drunk ass. you're lucky that asra stopped lucio from dragging you down with him because if it were me? i would have dropped you like a bag of dirt. entertain. yourself."

the audience in your head was applauding you for a flawless rebuttal to valerius. you were storming towards the door and already planning how you would unwind after dealing with him. honestly, the nerve of that guy—

a hand shut the door you had begun to open. fear spiked at your nerves. for a moment you forgot who you were and the identity of the person behind you. striking up an ounce of bravery, you followed the hand over your shoulder to valerius.

now.. you would expect a furious courtier. the smell of nectar and a sweet floral scent filled your nose that would have put anyone to ease, but the bitter trails of alcohol were a sharp reminder of who you had pissed off.

but upon seeing valerius at ease, you didn't know what to expect. he raised a brow, a tiny smirk on his face upon meeting your wide eyes.

"if i had been lucio moments ago that little outburst of yours would have you banished from the palace walls in a second."

you wanted to tell him that you'd purposely give him food poisoning, but the clarity of his silvern irises rendered you speechless. especially when he leaned in until he was a breath away.

"but it's a good thing i'm not him." he whispered, staring into your glimmering eyes.

there was a moment of stillness. valerius staring into your eyes and you trying to figure out why you didn't want to rip him apart for invading your personal space. but then it was gone.

he was gone. turning his back to you and skillfully picking up a few bottles of wine and an old glass in another. one moment you could taste the sweet aroma on his breath and another he was back to you.

"come along, magician." valerius raised a brow to you, peering over his shoulder with a smirk. "why don't we disappear for awhile? it'd be a shame for you to have an episode in front of the countess."

disappear?

your eyes widened. no way. he couldn't have— could he? you chased after valerius, running through the door after him, "was that a pun?!"

valerius rolled his eyes as you both walked down a hallway and off the veranda into the garden. it was then you realized that the path valerius was taking through the garden was one you were unfamiliar with.

you reached for valerius, clinging to his arm as you glanced around at the different part of the garden where valerius was taking you. he only smirked, never sparing a glance as stopped in front of rusted iron gates that towered over the both of you.

"valerius, if you even think of assassinating me—"

valerius let out something of a laugh before glancing over at you, "obviously the palace magician isn't aware of the previous count's cellar."

"lucio couldn't have—"

"as much as lucio would like to claim this masterpiece, this is far too classy for his tastes."

you fought a laugh, watching as he pulled out a gilded wooden key and unlocked the giant doors.

valerius ushered you inside and closed the door, unaware of how you'd suddenly looked doe-eyed when you'd begun to take in your surroundings.

plush pillows and blankets were set over every inch of the floor. shades of maroon and magenta set out in the floor while floating candles lit themselves up upon valerius muttering an incantation.

"it's amusing that you consider yourself important enough to be assassinated." valerius called, plopping down on a large black pillow much too big to be for just one person.

"and i suppose you are?" you scoffed, raising a brow as you took one of the bottles from valerius and sitting next to him on the blankets.

he set a hand on his chest as he set down wine bottles, "vesuvia would weep for me."

"i would weep for vesuvia if historians thought you were important enough to be assassinated." you snorted, opening the wine bottle so the cork flew past his head.

in turn, valerius mirrored you except his cork hit you square in the forehead. he chuckled at the horrified look you gave him.

in favor of preserving your honor, you chucked one of the pillows behind you and it landed square in valerius's face. he sat up in time to see you on your back, laughing at the way his face contorted with disgust, but upon seeing you smiling he couldn't help but smirk a little.

he handed you a bottle and you took it wondering what on earth made his lips turn up in the slightest.

"i didn't know you could smile, valerius."

"I didn't know the palace magician could have fun." he shot you smile, gilded eyes watching you from over the rim of his glass.

"you never asked." you teased, wrapping your lips around the bottle's rim and dipped your head back to let the sweet liquid sliver down your throat.

if you'd been looking you would have seen valerius nearly drop his wine glass while he stared.

his eyes focused on the length of your neck before trailing up to the wine that trickled from the side of your mouth. valerius tore his eyes away from you so he could gather his thoughts as he stared into his own glass.

"if you keep drinking, you're going to end up drunk." he rolled his eyes, relaxing into the pillows behind him.

he wasn't expecting a weight to come crashing down on the pillows to his right. his eyes snapped open and his head snapped over to find you with your legs propped on his and raising a brow at him.

"are you—"

"why don't you like me?" he nearly choked on his spit.

he met your brillaintly dilated eyes and nearly swore aloud for it. every time he found himself staring at them he would nearly forget what he was thinking.

you crossed your arms, waiting for an answer. with your hair messed up and how you laid back with that bottle of wine...

he found his thoughts dipping into the gutter.

"p-pardon?" he asked, opting for switching his glass for the bottle to take a nice long drink.

"why don't you like me?" you repeated without missing a beat.

valerius set his bottle down while he gathered his thoughts and waited for you to continue.

"you're always nitsticking me—"

"nitpicking."

"see?!" you pointed your bottle at him and his lips puckered when he realized that he'd proved your point. "then you're always looking down your nose at me. so tell me, consul~"

he watched you climb up so you sat up beside him. valerius tried so desperately to maintain eye contact, but with the alcohol in his system and the delicious warmth radiating off you- it was becoming a challenge.

"why don't you like me?"

he scoffed, taking your bottle and nearing your face with the slightst smirk. "i'm like that with everyone, darling."

you snatched the bottle from his lips and before he could ground something out, you were straddling his lap and pushing him back by his chest as you took a swing.

he swallowed when you never broke eye contact with him. one of his hands curling around yours that pressed to his chest before yanking.

you went falling forward and valerius' lips caught yours, drinking down the wine from your lips before pulling back to look at your flustered expression.

wine trickled down the side of his mouth and he grinned, flipping you on your back before standing up. "despite how very alluring you are, i propose we reconvene after we're both sober, yes?"

valerius helped you to your feet and promptly guided you out of the cellar upon hearing the guards calling for you.

you couldn't help, but watch as valerius locked up the cellar with the same pointed look as always except there was a tiny pull upward at the corner of his lips.

"i'm surprised you didn't we didn't wine, dine, and—"

you were cut off by his chuckle and his hand caressing your cheek, leaning into you. "obviously, you've had too much to drink."

"so you're into me then, consul valerius?"

a mischevious smile on his face before he waved his hand and let out the most dramatic sigh. "i suppose it's the pretty face that got me."

he turned meeting your eyes, the sharp gaze making your breath hitch. especially when he extended a hand towards you.

"but you can't say that's what drew you to me." his fingers looped with yours and tugged you to walk beside him.

"i think~" you sang, spinning in his arms as the sunset flitted over the gardens. "it was the wine."

valerius rolled his eyes and pressed a kiss to your knuckles before you parted to join the guards waiting for you at the veranda.

"until next time, valerius."

you were halfway up the stairs when he called you back.

underneath the moonlight, arms crossed over his chest as he gave a teasing smile. even in the wine stained robes, he seemed most radiant as he stared upon you.

"next time, we dine first."

a giddy feeling bubbled in your chest and you couldn't stop yourself from smiling then. maybe valerius was the cranky, ill-tempered consul.

but he could be.. pleasant when he wanted to.

Summary: Valerius and the Magician head back to Vesuvia.

Word Count: ~600

Arcana Masterlist

Part 4

--------------------------------

We waved goodbye to the Zur-Thria, the young girls from yesterday hugging Valerius and I, who was doing his best to keep his annoyances to himself at their heart-felt farewell. We rode in the back of the cart through the woods on a path only the driver, Balathar, knew. Sitting next to me with his feet laid out in front of him, Valerius was watching the scenery crawl past us with a peaceful expression.

“If I didn’t know better, I’d say you were admiring the trees.” I smiled at him when he broke out of his trance with a slight cough.

“Well, there’s nothing else to look at.” He crossed his arms while he pouted his bottom lip.

I hummed in agreement and we enjoyed the calm ride through the woods. We got onto the main road after lunch and turned towards Vesuvia. We swayed along the beaten road and Valerius kept dozing off. With full bellies, the warm sun, and the gentle sway of the cart, I didn’t blame him. After I caught him from nearly falling off the cart for a third time, I urged him to lay on me. His body stiffened as I moved him against me and I waited for his approval before I moved him further. His jaw was tight as he stared at me with uncertainty. Something flickered in his eyes and the tension he had melted away as he laid his back on my chest.

He went back into an easy sleep with his head resting on my shoulder, his weight against me was surprisingly comforting. He slept through most of the afternoon while I daydreamed of what would happen when we returned to the palace. The distant thunder of horse hooves galloping towards us broke me from my thoughts. I craned my head past the cart and could make out the crimson banner of Vesuvia heading towards us.

“What’s that noise?” Valerius mumbled as he woke from his nap. He didn’t have to wonder long as the Vesuvian guards surrounded us, their riders’ steel armor reflecting in the afternoon sun right into our eyes. Valerius leapt from the cart with an excited laugh. He stood straight and proud, dusting off his borrowed clothes and removing some of the flowers in his hair as he preened himself.

One of the guards dismounted then bowed, “Consul. Magician. The Countess has sent us to escort you back to Vesuvia. If you’ll come with us.” He motioned towards the two riderless horses for us to use.

I watched Valerius shed the colorful wool jacket and mounted on the noble steed with his head held high. The mask returned and he regarded me with a sneer as he looked down at me.

“Are you coming, witch?”

I had to take a moment to collect myself before I replied.

“Of course.” I bowed my head before I got off the cart. I thanked Balathar for the ride, giving him a token for his service; letting him know he, and his people, could call upon me anytime for anything. Valerius was shifting in his saddle by the time I mounted my steed.

“About time. The sooner we get back, the sooner we can put this all behind us.” He went into a gallop and the rest of the guard followed after him, leaving a trail of dust in their wake.

A twisting pain knotted my stomach as I watched them ride ahead. It was like a longing for something which I knew I couldn’t have. I looked at the discarded flower in my hand for a moment, twisting the wilting thing between my fingers, before riding after the Consul, already missing the ease of the Zur-Thria and his warm smile.

-----------

A/N: I thought about arriving to Vesuvia and Val going right back to being how he was. but i don't know wasn't vibing with it so wrote this instead. Thanks again for reading! Any feedback is welcomed!! <3
