    Summary

    Olruggio has always been kind.

    He is intelligent. Perceptive. Infuriatingly good at dancing.

    Beautiful, charismatic, endlessly patient.

    Olruggio is perfect.

    Unfortunately, Qifrey is not the only one who has noticed.

    ________________________

    Or when Qifrey had long accepted one simple truth: Olruggio was dangerously easy to love.
    Which would have been manageable… if everyone else in the world had not apparently come to the exact same conclusion.

    Summary

    "You're as warm as ever, you know that?" Qifrey tells Olruggio as they tidy the study before bed. Ink stains their fingers, and Qifrey steps into Olruggio's space, thumb licked to drag across the high of his cheek to rid it of ink, too.

    "Hey, now," Olruggio ducks out of the way, fingers curling around Qifrey's wrist. "I can clean up after myself just fine."

    "And if I wanted to care for you?"

    The silence that falls between them is more than simple contemplativeness. This time, Olruggio takes in a breath, as if to speak, before stopping. He releases Qifrey's hand, but Qifrey does not move. He lets fingers trace over Olruggio's palm, and down his wrist, then back up, as if touch is a novelty.

    - Qifrey and Olruggio long for each other, while the vast unknown lies between them.

    Summary

    Something, equal parts wariness and weariness, stirs in Olruggio’s eyes whenever Qifrey makes some reference to the future — when he indirectly promises a tomorrow, a next week, an ‘after your commissions are done’. It’s the subtlest thing, a flicker, a spark; someone who knew him less well might not pick up on it. But Qifrey knows Olruggio as well as he knows himself, and he can hardly in good conscience begrudge him his flinch of cynicism. Not when it’s wholly his own fault for having put it there.

    Fool you once, shame on me. Fool you twice, still shame on me. Fool you thrice… well, if it’s any consolation whatsoever, I was fooling myself most of all.
    -- -- --
    The night Qifrey returns to the atelier for good after his wandering days — old promises kept, new promises made.

    Summary

    Sinocia blinks at him, then says, "You're quite young for that, Olruggio. Are you sure?"

    "No. That's why I said I wanted your opinion."

    // Olruggio, increasingly aware of and unsettled by the many lapses in his memory, starts keeping a record of his days in order to find out what, if anything, is ailing him. Qifrey doesn't realize what he's doing until it's nearly too late.
