[ is currently residing in his room, busily stitching up what seems to be one of robert's torn cloaks. the maids had pleaded earlier to allow them to do it for him, yet he was persistent to do it himself. after all, it was the least he could do for him, considering the events that had come to pass between them as of late.

the thought prompts him to stop and press the material against his lips, a silent symbol of his affection. he doesn't linger, however, quickly going back to work while humming some unknown tune to balance out the silence of the early afternoon. ]

[ shakes his head a bit in amusement. ]

Have I ever not?

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

You have. However, this...

[ feels different, is what he means to say, but keeps it down in favor of leaning forward to rest against him. ]

[ blinks a little at the sudden contact, but loops his arms around annabelle regardless. buries his face into soft hair in habit, breathing out quietly. ]

I will come back to you. As I always do.

[ curls his fingers around their hold on robert's tunic, murmuring quietly: ]

Do you promise?

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

[ holds him closer. ]

I give you my word.

[ gives only a small sound of acknowledgment, keeping to the silence. ]

[ and then, suddenly: ]

May we stay like this for a while longer? I just... want to feel you.

[ gives the top of his brother's head a small kiss in the form of immediate reply. then his hold loosens into something more comfortable as he settles himself into their current positions, simply feeling the warmth of annabelle's body. ]

As long as you need.

[ lips twitch up into a content smile at his words, shifting only slightly to accommodate them both. feels like there are many things that need to be said, all of which will be forever unspoken.

the only thing he bravely utters is a soft "thank you" before closing his eyes and inhaling his scent, content with the fact that robert is there with him. though the lingering feeling of worry still makes him falter in this happiness, feeling as though this would be the very last time he would be held by his brother. ]
