I do. (He flushes in delight, chuckling at Astaldo in the fluffy robe.) I will carry you to bed in a moment.

(Tambë dries off and tugs on his robe before pulling his lover back into his arms.)

[consumedbyfire]

[When Tambe pulled him back, Astaldo wrapped his arms around his shoulder and leaned up to kiss him softly.]

I love it when you carry me to bed.

[castintoflames]

(He nuzzles into the kiss and walks to their bed, setting Astaldo down. Then he tugs open the tie of his lover's robe.)

I will keep you warm too.

[consumedbyfire]

[Astaldo felt warm from the bath and he got comfortable on the bed before holding his arms out for his husband.]

I can only sleep with you in the bed. I've tried sleeping while you were working and it isn't the same.

[castintoflames]

Have you really? (He smiles and slips off his robe before joining Astaldo under the covers.) I'm here, Finno. You can even rest on me.

[consumedbyfire]

I can close my eyes and rest but I can't rest as well. [He snuggled close, wrapping his arms around Tambe with a yawn.]

You're so comfortable, Maitimo.

[castintoflames]

Then I will endeavor to be available every time you wish to nap. (Tambë strokes over Astaldo's arm, humming.)

Close your eyes, Finno. (He begins to tell him an old Elven fable in a soft voice to help him sleep.)

[consumedbyfire]

[He was about to ask if Tambe really meant every single time but then he realized that if he asked it, Tambe really would be there every single time he needed him without fail.

Astaldo closed his eyes with a happy smile, holding onto Maitimo. His Maitimo. He allowed himself to slowly let go to the sound of his lover's voice, comforted by the steady rhythm of his heart and the warm.

It wasn't long before he was fast sleep, still holding onto his husband.]

[castintoflames]

(Without a doubt, he would be there. Tambë's instincts where Astaldo is concerned are very sharp.

He smiles tenderly at the sight of his husband fast asleep. Gently, he presses a kiss to Astaldo's forehead, nestling under the covers so he can rest his head on the pillows.

For now, he is happy to watch his lover sleep. It's peaceful.)

[consumedbyfire]

[Astaldo slept deeply, still holding onto his husband tightly throughout the night. Once in while, he clung Tambe a little closer, face scrunched up before relaxing once more.

He didn't wake up until the sun started to come over the horizon, scrunching his face up stubbornly as he started to come to with a low groan.]

[castintoflames]

(Tambë touches him and kisses him lightly throughout the night, resting in spurts. However each time Astaldo tenses, he holds him closer, stroking over his hair.

As the sun rose and spread light across the room, he smiles at the groan and kisses his lover deeply. Arin mews and toddles up to them, nestling against Astaldo's shoulder.)

[consumedbyfire]

[It was the best way to wake up. Held in his lover's arms and being nestled by a kitten. He smiled lazily, looking up at his lover with dark blue eyes.]

Good morning, love.

[castintoflames]

(Tambë chuckles and tucks his hair behind his ear. Arin presses a little nose against Astaldo's cheek, snuffling.)

Good morning. How did you sleep?

I think Arin is trying to keep you warm.

[consumedbyfire]

Really well. And he's doing a good job, he's so warm! I have you and him- how could I be cold?

[He smiled as he felt Arin lean his little fuzzy cheek against his neck.]

[castintoflames]

You would have to work hard to be cold. (Tambë kisses the side of Arin's head. He pulls Harya up too, resting him on his chest.)

How were your dreams?

[consumedbyfire]

[Astaldo snuggled up to his husband, slowly petting Harya gently.]

I dreamed I was out riding with Aredhel, back in Valinor. I couldn't catch her, she was always just in front of me and I kept reaching out- and right before I woke she vanished as if she had never been there.

[castintoflames]

(Harya yawns and blinks adorably sleepy eyes. Tambë frowns faintly and nudges his forehead against Astaldo's.)

You miss her.

[consumedbyfire]

Every day. I miss her, Turgon and Argon. I wish I could see them again. [He smiled as he leaned his head against Tambe's affectionately.]

I know I'll see them again some day.

[castintoflames]

(He knows the feeling, though he is lucky to have Etyangol. Tambë feels helpless where their siblings are concerned. He whispers against his lover's hair:)

You will, love. The Fëanorians do not deserve to be reunited, but my Fingon deserves to see his brothers and sister.

[consumedbyfire]

But my Maitimo deserves to see his mother at least. I know you must miss her every day. [And mothers are special. He would never believe that anyone didn't believe to be with their mother.]

Sometimes I imagine our mothers are waiting for us, keeping each other company and waiting on the shore.

[castintoflames]

...I do. Ammë is precious to me. I saw her shed more than a few tears over our choices. (And he doesn't want to remind her of dark times.) I hope they are keeping one another company. Ammë deserves that. She was wise; we should have allied with her.

[consumedbyfire]

When I said good bye to my mother, she told me that nothing could make her stop loving me. No matter how far I went, even when I made mistakes, I would still be her son. I am sure your mother feels the same.

[He teared up a little at the though, burying his face against his husband's chest.]

[castintoflames]

Because, my Finno, you are a son to make a mother proud. Your heart... Your mind... Are good. (He pales and looks away, unwilling to tell Astaldo that he feels he, personally, is the opposite. His heart and mind are twisted, corrupted.)

[consumedbyfire]

Tambe...[Astaldo cupped his husband's cheek with one of his hands, looking determined.]

I still love you no matter what. There are some things which can never change, some loves which will never fade or be broken.

I have no doubt, none whatsoever, that your mother still loves you and would be happy to welcome you back.

[castintoflames]

(He breathes in shakily and forces himself to meet Astaldo's gaze.)

It's...the madness. She knows of it. I don't want her to be afraid of me.

(It physically hurts him to think of Nerdanel fearing him.)

Thank you for saying so. I would love to see her again, but I can't be selfish, can I?
