Firsts were rare for someone as long lived as Zelo but Sage kept managing the impossible and it pulled him in closer as if the witch had become what he could orbit around. It challenged him in a way, staying, choosing to chip away at hs walls to allow for moments usually hidden. Sage captivated him in ways no one else ever managed and for the first time he wanted to actually settle. A cruelty existed within the desire because of the curses and he feared every time he closed his eyes Sage would disappear, little more than a wisp of a dream.
The witch deserved better and the danger surrounding him never went away and had only mounted over the years. What if the Ancient Ones decided on a more permanent punishment? What if Sage decided they weren't worth it? He always felt difficult to tolerate for long periods of time, let alone love but Sage offered him peace and possibility. It changed everything and made him want to be a better man.
Less a monster and more of a hero of the tale. Someone worthy of Sage who had a brighter heart than all the starlight in the universe.
Curling into Sage's body when he sat up by him, he shamelessly leaned into the touch through his hair. Apparently, he loved his hair stroked, which he had never known until Sage. How could he when he never let anyone linger too long with him? Being close mattered so much to him too and Sage seemed to enjoy it. Sometimes seemed to long for it as much as he did.
Eyes flicking up when Sage tried to catch his gaze, his mouth actually fell open from the words. What? It was usually impossible to surprise him but Sage defied everything all the time. It did things to his heart. But wait. "I don't sing that terrible," he mumbled with a grin twitching at the corners of his mouth. He couldn't deny the closet since he hid all his best treasures there for safe keeping. "Yes. I would - yes." Bright smile filling his face, he kissed Sage excitedly. He had never had an actual home before and certainly not with someone he cared so much about. "Falling asleep with you and waking up with you sounds like the best thing I've ever heard." He really meant it.
"You're really sure, right?" Before he let Sage answer, he kissed him and tackled him back onto the ground, pressing lips all over him. "Yes!"
