    Summary

    The evidence in favour of Qifrey liking… requests, so to speak, has been piling up. The logical conclusion is on one side of the razor's edge, but Olruggio is still—dithering.

    One-off requests are one thing, but Olruggio has a theory. He may not have any personal experience beyond Qifrey himself, but his commissions over the years have come from many and varied patrons, with many and varied tastes. Olruggio may not have much experience personally, but his wealth of professional experience borders on ridiculous.

    Olruggio has a theory about Qifrey, and acts on it. Things, as they tend to between the two of them, spiral rapidly.

    Summary

    “I’d like a new chapter with you by my side,” Olruggio starts slowly, gaze unwavering. The determination in his eyes is so familiar- it’s the way that he looks at an incomplete seal just before he finishes it, the way he fits a contraption together just right to overlap their keystones.
    “Qifrey, I’d like- I’d like a next chapter with us as- as more than friends.”

    /OR/ 5 times Qifrey and Olruggio could have gotten together and 1 time they actually did.

    Summary

    It was quiet, and when Olruggio’s head raised he saw that ever-present look on Qifrey’s face again.

    The one where he looked hesitant, a little bit displaced, and so startingly unsure of himself.

    “Olly, I’m...” he started, awkwardly trailing off as his hand traced to the top of his cap. “You know I don’t do too well with being... celebrated.”

    He spoke the words as if the mere thought of it made him uncomfortable, his shoulders hunching up as he coiled that ribbon tight around his finger.

    Olruggio reached between them.

    “Of things worth celebrating,” he murmured, catching the ribbon with his finger and gently pulling it loose. “You being born is at the very top of my list.” He leveled Qifrey with a look. “Understand?”

    Qifrey nodded slow as if in a daze, whispering out a hushed, “Yes,” as he watched Olruggio weave the ribbon between his fingers.

    Or

    Qifrey’s birthday comes around again, but this year Olruggio hoped to make it a bit more memorable.

    Whether Qifrey liked it or not.

    Summary

    “You can touch, y'know.” Qifrey feels Olruggio's breath on his hand, and he wonders if his friend can feel the way his pulse jumps beneath his fingertips.

    “Ah, but—” My hands. Qifrey wants to tell him no. These hands have only ever hurt you.

    (Or—Qifrey wakes up curse-free and blind. He's not fine, but Olruggio is there, so it's going to be okay—they have the rest of their lives to work through it together, after all.)
