@sweetfirebird This isn’t actually on topic for Valentine’s Day but Arthur, accidental king of the PTA is one of my all time favorite things to think about. He wouldn’t mean to, naturally, but there are all these awful snooty moms who look down on everybody who isn’t just like them and it’s just not right– stop laughing Bertie. 

(Although thinking about Arthur and Bertie as dads makes me think about their current baby and that makes me think about Miki and Diego, who I’m sure have such cute Valentine’s Day stuff going on.) 

Honestly, you’re an older, experienced werewolf who is overjoyed to have found this miracle, this *Miki* in your life. Miki who is wonderful and tastes like heaven and blushes for him and hides his face when he moans in bed. Miki, who is embarrassed to feel Diego’s arm slide around his waist while he works, but also pleased. He smells of dirt and a hundred flowers and a hint of blood from contact with a thorn, and he does not think about a day like Valentine’s Day because he is *Miki*.

But Diego knows. His querido needs attention and care as much any delicate carnivorous plant. He needs gifts and adoration and though he does not know this, those around him do. If Kazimir were here, he would know it too, and silently insist that Diego do his duty.

So he does. He wakes before Miki and nuzzles into his throat to Miki’s startled pleasure. He leads him into the shower, although Miki protests that he’s only going to get dirty. He gets suspicious too, when Diego only washes his soft curls and dries them by hand with a towel.

The suspicion returns to surprise when he is fixed toast, and marmalade, with butter and tea, served on Kazimir’s antique tea things. The sky has barely begun to lighten outside, and Miki is regarding Diego with confusion but is strangely silent.

Diego only nuzzles his throat again, against the door, marking him with his scent and inhaling his sweetness. He runs his hands through his hair until it is thoroughly tousled, and then when he finally makes himself pull away, Miki stops him with a tug at his shirt.

There are stars in his eyes, and his lips are parted, but his tone is so serious.

“I don’t understand,” he says, quietly pleading. Diego *must* kiss him, just there, softly on his mouth.

“I am a husband doing my duty,” he explains, “Because I love you, but my love is not the type to be wooed with cut flowers. Not even on Valentine’s Day.”

The smile is slow to appear, but then it blooms across Miki’s face and makes his eyes crinkle. His hand slides up Diego’s chest to his shoulder, and around his neck. Diego steps closer without another thought.

“Okay,” Miki agrees,breathless and remarkable. “How do I woo you?” But he already knows, as his clever fingers curl into Diego’s hair, and he arches his neck to bare his throat, and Diego’s teeth press, faintly, scarcely there, into his hot, bared skin.

Q: Is there a V Day in Godric's world? Or something similar? If not, what would he and Bertie do in the bodyguard AU?
Asked by: orbisonblue

Well they have festivals devoted to spring (and marriage and fucking) so I don’t think a festival celebrating love is much of a stretch. I do like the idea of Godric walking around decked in flowers though, and strips of fabric from Bertie’s dresses tied around his arms and legs. And possibly no one expects a man of his age or reputation to participate in a festival for young lovers, but clearly, those people don’t know Bertie. Or Godric, and how patiently he would sigh and allow Bertie to *cover* him in his favors.

“Until sundown,” Bertie would have reminded him sweetly, after waking him up at dawn with kisses that had sadly led nowhere. “Until sundown for the world to see you are mine, and then you return to me when the sun goes down… unless, of course, you choose not to.”

Bertie had undoubtedly meant this display to be a teasing joke. He possibly hadn’t expected Godric to allow it in the first place. But the fear in his voice for that part stayed with Godric longer than the burn beneath his skin for the passion Bertie had started in his bed that morning.

It was a silly holiday for the young. A sort of test, public declarations and a day of frustrated yearning. A Northern thing Godric had only ever observed before.

He was older. Waiting a few hours should not have bothered him. But the strips of torn fabric reminded him of Bertie, and his fondness for tying Godric up loosely by his wrists when he was being stubborn. The flowers made him think of spring fields, and the secret bower belonging to the king’s bastard brother, and what Bertie had done to him there. Bertie had woken him up with the touch of his mouth to his flesh, the grind of his lithe body, and then he’d pulled away.

A few hours weighed heavily. Moreso when he entered the throne room and saw Bertie, He hadn’t been allowed to touch Bertie that morning. Hadn;t realized that once he was shooed from the room wearing all this finery and foolishness, Bertie would tie pieces of Godric’s colors around his wrists to fall gracefully to the floor. He hadn’t thought Bertie would wear a chain of Southern daisies around his neck.

And after that first second where their eyes meet, when he can see Bertie’s surprise to find him still wearing his favors, and the relief, he feels a yearning a man his age shouldn’t feel.

They have hours to go until they can touch one another, if they choose to play this game. And they are. He stays on his side of the room, and Bertie stays on his, and no one is oblivious to their stares, and Godric would burn with shame and embarrassment, but his body is too busy being on fire for what Bertie began that morning.

Until sundown. He doesn’t think he can wait.
