[ Molly lays down with Fjord, cuddling up so that his boyfriend(!) has access to his horns and nothing is poking anyone. He smiles, curling his tail around Fjord's leg. ]

Mmm... so good to me.

[ He makes a little happy noise that almost sounds like a purr, relaxing under Fjord's touch. ]

[ It makes him chuckle to have Molly so docile, petted like a prize cat. The purr warms his heart and softens his gaze, a world away from the wild creature that moans and shrieks for funds on his website. ]

You're a sweetheart. Get some rest.

[ It only takes a few more rubs before Molly is dozing off, eventually falling asleep in Fjord's arms. Sweetly, innocently. This is what was different from all the flings he's had, all the times he shows off to usernames and tips.

Someone who just holds him through the night.

The next day, they're both woken up by Yasha, who has gotten the other tent down already. In typical Molly fashion, he buries his face in Fjord's chest and whines. Gods, how he hates mornings. ]

[ Fjord sleeps like the dead, nuzzling his tiefling until he falls asleep. When morning comes he's as bad as Molly and hides with him under the blankets, grumbling and groaning into a soft head of hair and reliable horns that his cheeks rest on comfortably. ]

M'not ... getting up ...

[ Nobody's getting Starbucks if we do not get going. Yasha manages to sound promising and threatening all in one, which is a great way to get Molly to pay attention. He still wines but gives her a thumbs up before kissing Fjord softly. ]

Think we can stall as long as possible?

[ Starbucks sounds amazing. Coffee sounds like life. ]

Tell them we'll be out in ten minutes ... we can get dressed while I'm kissing the gorgeous creature warming my bed.

[ It's a challenge but he's up to multitasking, reaching for a fresh hoodie with one hand while kneading at a sleepy tiefling's thigh with another, reluctant to lose all that bare skin in a hurry. ]

[ Molly keeps making little unhappy whines, but the kisses placate him and he reaches for his pants, throwing his wrinkled shirt on. He's absolutely in the way of Fjord's dressing, though, leaning on him like the most needy cat in the world.

Once the boots are on, he finally stops stalling and starts getting up instead, called by the promise of coffee with ridiculous amounts of sugar. ]

[ Fjord is the last out of the tent and he looks about as rank as anyone else who has been living in a field without a shower for three days (and having sex, oops), more closely resembling someone who went to a weekend festival than a larp event. His hoodie covers bare skin and his jeans are the good reliable pair, worn through on the knees, boots partly laced and hair askew after he ran his hands through it in an attempt at a civilised ponytail.

He helps get the tent down and packed away, stretching and yawning all the while ... shooting Molly some winks along the way. ]

Let's get a big breakfast at the first roadside mall we come by.

[ Molly actually helps a little more effectively this time, because that coffee is calling him - and together they all manage to pack it all up and get ready to leave. Yasha gets into the car while Molly has briefly disappeared to say goodbye to a few people, and then finally they're ready to get on the road.

Grinning at Fjord and blowing him a kiss, Molly hops into the rental car and immediately steals the aux cord while Yasha rolls her eyes fondly.

Once they're on the road, he looks up close malls that have both a breakfast place and a Starbucks on his phone, sending suggestions to Fjord (and hoping Cad either reads it to him or is the one driving). ]

[ Texts fly back and forth as Caduceus drives.

babe i'll eat anywhere there's bacon

no not there

do they have muffins?? get what you want

doughnuts are fine

babe ANYWHERE

Possibly taking twenty minutes longer than it should, they all pull up to the second food mall and Fjord waves at Yasha's car as he races inside to find the first brand that sells bacon sandwiches, not even his love for Molly stalling his pace as he skips over some small bushes. ]

[ This is such a couple thing to do over the phone and it warms Molly's heart so much. Once they turn into the parking lot he watches the half-orc rushing by like a doofus, hunting for his bacon. Molly waits until they manage to find a parking spot, following along with the rest of the group as they head into the mall.

They're all kind of grungy and Molly's still wearing some of his costume, but not too many people seem to notice until they all clamber into the small food area to pick their foods. They get a few weird looks, but at least no comments.

Molly piles up breakfast muffins and eggs, a waffle and some fruit for his plate, and then takes Starbucks orders from everyone so he can go get it while the rest get their food. ]

[ Fjord gets his breakfast roll and a bucket of fried chicken as well as a large fizzy drink, living the wild life as Caduceus amusedly puts it. By the time Molly comes back with coffee orders Fjord has stuffed his face enough to pay attention to something other than his food and gives him a cheery smile as he bites into his KFC. ]

You're an angel. An aasimar, if you will.

[ He pretends not to hear Yasha snort. ]

Of course I am, look at my angelic face!

[ He smiles, handing everyone their drinks and sipping something weird out of a cup that barely looks like it counts as coffee. He sits down to dig into his own food, and is quickly shown to be a food thief of the worst caliber, which is probably why Yasha got extra food. ]

I had a great time this weekend, you guys.

[ As Caduceus asks Yasha about the flowers she bought, Fjord speaks to Molly in an undertone. ]

If you want to meet up next week I'd love to make you dinner. Or ... order us a pizza for a night in.

[ Because he still bears the shame of banging Molly in a tent and that is. Wow. ]

I would really like that.

[ He sneaks a hand into Fjord's free one, smiling. Every time the half-orc opened his mouth, he felt more and more sure that this wasn't it. That there would be more. ]

I'd like to see your home.

[ Learn more about this sweet man, more than the two weeks or so they had spoken. ]

Sure! You can pick the date, I might be busy for a few days as we help Melora get back up to speed but anything later on in the week would be fine.

[ Squeezing that hand back. He's so proud of Molly after this weekend, he got so involved and gave 110% ... ]

I'm mostly free next week, aside from Friday when I have that interview.

[ He sips his drink as they eat, enjoying the fruit even if it's a mushy mall version. Then he excuses himself to the bathroom and waves as he heads off. Yasha is still eating her blueberry muffin as she watches Molly leave, and then turns to Fjord.

I don't have to warn you about not hurting him, I'm pretty sure you already know your body will never be found. She says softly, like she didn't just threaten him. You've seen the good days, but Molly has bad ones, too. ]

[ Somehow he forgot about expecting the shovel talk, swallowing a hunk of chicken post-threat with a nod. ]

I would never hurt him.

[ Never aim to, anyway. ]

[ I know you wouldn't willingly do so, but Molly is new to relationships so he's pretty nervous. There's a small smile in there, soft and a bit sad at the same time. He's all I have left, so I like seeing him so happy. Thank you, Fjord.

A moment later, Molly comes back, hair smoothed back with a bit of water and a smile on his face. ]

I'm going to have an hour-long shower when we come home.

[ As if to prove his good will to Yasha, he leans over and kisses Molly on the cheek when he returns. ]

Do you want some of my chicken?

[ CHIVALRY!! Sharing food is the height of it. ]

I'll have a bite!

[ Nobody can really resist fried chicken (unless they're Caduceus), so he takes a piece and noms on it happily. His tail curls around Fjord ankle as he eats, just enjoying sitting close to the half-orc.

Eventually the food is eaten, drinks are finished and they should probably get on the road again. Molly's busying himself with his phone for a while, and then shows cute messages from Jester, both wishing him luck on his mystery weekend and demanding to know who he's dating. ]

[ That tail around his ankle feels like the most visible touch in the world, making him blush deeply. Before they split up to get in their cars he stands behind Molly and kisses him on the cheek while taking a selfie. ]

I'll send it to Jester when I get home, let her wonder a while longer.

[ The next time he gets a chance to kiss Molly is outside his and Yasha's building as Caduceus's van is unloaded. He takes him aside, cupping Molly's cheek as a stealthy smooch is laid down while the others are carrying kit upstairs. ]

Thank you for coming this weekend, I loved every minute of having you with us.

[ He preens at knowing they'll both freak out Jester soon, and then spends the rest of the time in the car chatting non-stop to a poor tired Yasha. Once they end up at their apartment and start emptying their stuff, he's stolen for a kiss and makes that content purr-sound again when their lips meet. ]

I liked it. It was a lot of fun, and less stressful to keep in character than I thought.

[ He leans close, nose to nose and just taking a moment to be with Fjord. ]

I'd love to do it again.

In the future we'll take an airbed.

[ His smirk is dirty for all of a heartbeat before he pecks him on the lips again. ]

I'll talk to you soon, make sure you enjoy pampering yourself tonight. You deserve it.

[ Caduceus and Yasha come back downstairs to the street and a round of goodbyes are exchanged, fonder for all the nonsense of the weekend. Fjord smiles at Molly with a backward glance and that's it for the weekend, driving away feels like the end of a crazy fever dream; Caduceus drops him off home where the first thing Fjord does is take a shower and order take-out, trying to give Molly some space by not messaging ... even if he likes a bunch of old photos on instagram and onlyfans.

Jester is hilariously furious when she gets the text and photo. ]

[ Molly rides the high of being with Fjord hand having fun the whole evening, occupying the bathroom after Yasha's done to just use every product he has and relax happily. They have take-out as well, and watch Jester blow up their phone and the friend discord all night. It seems the cat is out of the bag, as Beau definitely knows now as well. That's pretty good, though. Maybe they all can hang out some day.

The week goes by so horribly slowly when he's not busy with work and other things, so he's the worst boyfriend and sends mostly useless or funny messages to Fjord at any hour of the day. He really hopes Fjord has muted his 'ding' by now.

One early morning, Fjord gets a message that just says 'It's Wednesday, right?' ]
