Soothing Voice - Tumblr Posts
A fic where we are cuddling with Tauxolouve and slowly fall asleep, while he softy sings a lullaby. Thank you.
"Sing for me?"
Genre: fluff
Warnings: none
A/N: I was so so calm while writing this, I hope it'll calm you down as well, sweetie❤️ Also, I finished the fic and then did my brain decide to entertain itself with the question: "Does Tauxolouve's bed actually have a canopy or did you just mix it up with Leon's?" And all due compassion for my poor nerves ("pride and prejudice" reference) it does indeed have a canopy. Enjoy, love!❤️❤️
The gentle summer breeze slipped into the room through the opened windows in Tauxolouve's room, blowing between the canopy curtains and making them sway gently, casting curves of shadows and light by the lit up candles surrounding you.
Tauxolouve laid on his back and you on top of him on your stomach, your cheek resting on his chest.
A thin blanket was draped over your joined bodies, cutting through the coolness of the wind and balancing the temperature.
Tauxolouve kept a hand wrapped around your waist and he used his free one to rub your back slowly, the softness of his touch lulling your eyelids to grow heavy.
"Tauxy..." You murmured, half in a daze between Hypnos's silky veil and your boyfriend's caramel scent.
"You can sleep." He spoke quietly, his eyes narrowing endearingly at you. "You deserve it."
"I do?" You asked in a breathy whisper, feeling your body growing lethargic in his arms.
"Yes." He responded with honesty, pressing a kiss to the top of your head. "I'm so proud of you."
You smiled sleepily at his words, your body curling a little more within his comforting and safe warmth, your face nuzzled against his shirt and your fingers curling around the fabric, as if wanting to grab onto reality and consciousness a little longer just to soak up in his presence. "Hey, Tauxy...?"
He hummed in response, letting you know he was listening closely.
"Will you sing for me?"
Your question made his eyebrows rise for a split second, before he composed himself again. "I don't know if I have a good enough singing voice though. But okay..."
Silence ruled for a while, the soft breeze barely ruffling the leaves of the trees outside and behind your fallen eyelids, shades of orange trembled faintly, shyly.
Tauxolouve took in a breath and began humming. The vibrations emanating from his chest bringing a small smile to your lips as you felt every single one of them. His lips parted and the softest sound possible came out. The notes sounded sewed with the finest fabric, the strings attaching them out of fine gold, invisible to the eye, but blinding to the soul. He sang in breathy whispers, his words slightly higher in volume, but just enough so you could hear them without disturbing you as your consciousness slipped away from you.
You felt your fingers weakening around his shirt and slipping away, but the last sense of present remaining in you ushered you to hold on again, readjusting your grip.
Tauxolouve covered your hand with his and pressed another kiss to the top of your head. "I'll be here when you wake up. I promise."
All you could do at this point was nod as the faint orange of the candlelight faded more and more, as if you were being dragged away from them and led outside into the night. You were actually not moved at all though and you could tell by the warmth of Tauxolouve's body that never parted from yours.
Tauxolouve continued his lullaby, only shifting slightly, so his chin was resting on top of your head, his melodic voice sounding as if coming from your heart. His vocal cords and heart cooperated, the latter picking every word coming out of his lips and then the first twisting sweetly and smoothly, drawing out note after note in a rhythm you doubted you could find anywhere else, aside from his sternum and chest.
