( I Care Them So Much Wtf??? - Tumblr Posts
adrift in a siesta, dead to the world is how she finds him, a light sigh pulled from her at the sight as wings beat the air gently, sandaled feet coming to meet ground. geez, how is he meant to protect this village of humans if every time she looked his way he was embroiled in what appeared to be his greatest fascination: naps ? still, it’s not enough judgement to quell the motion of sinking to her knees beside him on a patch of grass, messy bangs pushed aside to allow a fond / fleeting press of the lips against pale skin. teal eyes then blink open, connecting with melted gold ( a far cry from the days they burned black with hatred / never could you conceive back then, that they could be so soft ). ❝ sorry, i didn’t mean to wake you up. ❞ [ ellatte / 😘 ] , @asteriskheart !
how often she finds him like this , stretched out & languid & not at all with the look of a powerful warrior — but his father had been that way , too . if nothing else , bellion had learned long ago that appearances were deceiving ( his father , zeno , meliodas — even himself ) . but , he knows how this must look to her . after all , he was the village’s guardian .
her lips are soft & he lets out a purr , content & almost carefree . almost , because the war was yet to be over . there was still much to be done & he made a promise that he intended to keep . one to protect the village & another … another that had given him a deep love for life — or was it simply a love of her ? the celestial , his most unlikely soulmate , ellatte .
i didn’t mean to wake you up , she says , & he smiles before moving to nuzzle against her ( he is still learning how she gives affection , he continues to show her his own ) . ❛ mm , well i certainly have no complaints , ❜ yes , this is a far cry from before — the day of ruin where he’d unleashed his rage , where he’d lost himself in it ; where he clawed his way back from the depths of a maddening hate . this is a far cry from the feeling that had consumed him . it is not hatred that makes his hearts race . ❛ i guess i really do take after my father more than i thought … he was always laid back . he was powerful , but i think he enjoyed being a dad more than being a warrior . ❜
❛ whenever he thought i was working too hard , he’d tell me to rest . i couldn’t really say no … ❜ ( bellion , don’t push yourself so hard . the world isn’t going to end if you take a nap , you know . he remembers his father telling him that a well rested soldier was far more efficient . a well rested soldier could get his job done & have more time to , well . take another nap ) . ❛ mostly because my father was aranak the repose . if i kept pushing , his commandment would’ve sealed my magic away . & some commandments can’t be lifted … i guess napping is just habit … one i’ll keep if you wake me up like that every time . ❜
