    Summary

    Ashur turned towards Tarquin, humming under his breath. “There were only two things I desired from tonight—”

    Tarquin’s hand slipped away from his eyes completely, his head turning to follow Ashur's shift in tone more than his movements.

    “—the first was dancing with you,” Ashur said with a smile, obviously still very pleased about that.

    A beat of silence followed, and Tarquin willingly took the bait.  “And the second?” he asked.

    The smile his partner wore was a strange one, with something hiding underneath in it. Something that Tarquin might have called bashful.

    Or: Ashur shows Tarquin the meaning of the word devotion in a quiet moment alone after the masquerade.

    Summary

    “I already fucking hate everything about this,” Tarquin muttered under his breath.

    Ashur hummed. “So you’ve said.”

    “I’ll say it again.” Tarquin promised, because he planned on doing exactly that.

    Or: Tarquin was pretty sure frivolous masquerades were not in his job description.

    Summary

    For six hours a week, Tarquin is responsible for guarding the students learning advanced magical theory from Enchanter Vesperian, who is entirely too pretty, entirely too well-spoken, and entirely too good at capturing Tarquin's interest regarding magic Tarquin can't even use.

    [Or: Tarquin reveals he's a secret nerd. Ashur is smitten immediately.]
