    Summary

    By the time Qifrey put his pen down, it was already dark outside. Their little house was basking in silence, and the occasional flicker of the lamp was the only form of existence that disturbed the stillness.

    Qifrey guessed that it was well into the night, and that everyone was already sleeping, or maybe almost everyone. He still had a chance to find an exhausted, but still very much awake Olruggio.

     

    or; sleepy, silly orufrey

    Summary

    Olruggio finds him late at night in the middle of a rain storm, perched on the atelier's roof with his hands gripping the sides of his head. There is no rainflinger spell to protect him from getting wet. There is no solid reason Olruggio can come up with for why in the world Qifrey would even be awake at this hour, let alone outside and in the rain.

    It had been a last ditch effort to even look outside for him. He hadn't been in his usual hiding spots. Not expecting to be right, Olruggio had thought to look outside and, if he wasn't there... well, Qifrey's a grown adult. He can do what he wants. A note would have been great to have, though.

    But he did end up finding him. And the relief he felt at that was immediately clouded by worry. Because there was no reason for Qifrey to be out here, not at this hour and not in this weather. Did something happen? But then why didn't he just come find Olruggio and tell him about it? He can do that now. It won't kill him to do that anymore.

    Summary

    “Would you get mad if I were to say, ‘We told you so’?” Olruggio asked, rubbing disinfectant on Qifrey's scraped knee.

    “Oru, old friend, warmer and dearer than sunshine itself, the gentlest fire I have ever known. My dearest. Yes. Yes, I will be mad.”

    Or, about Qifrey, and about scrapes and scars and treasuring whatever scattered bits of childhood you get to have.

    Summary

    “Olruggio,” she said, as if it was obvious. “Is he like your boyfriend?”

    “Yes?” Qifrey blinked at Alaira’s foolishness. Olly was his friend, and a boy. Duh. “Of course he’s my boyfriend.”

    -

    A young Qifrey accidentally starts a rumour about himself and Olruggio that quickly gets out of hand.

    Summary

    “Years ago,” Qifrey says suddenly, “And you won’t remember this, you made me make you a promise. And I’ve kept it, until now.” As he talks, Qifrey fidgets with his hat. He turns it around and around in his hands, then unhooks the ribbon from the point.

    “Hey—”

    Olruggio steps forward as if to stop him, but it’s done. Qifrey twists the ribbon in his hand, crumpling it.

    “That’s—”

    “Your ribbon. And my promise. I’ve worn them both for years. For you. And for myself. But Olly—I asked you here because I can’t do it anymore.”
