    Summary

    The cold that had been biting into him wasn’t as brutal now he had to admit. The flush that had started on his cheeks and the wide span of his ears was spreading rapidly down his neck and would soon be past his collarbone.

    He felt Daisy tuck her chin against his hair and he was tugged tighter into her, his nose pressing into her neck and the flush spread further, deepening his grassy skin with a warm red tint.

    ‘Just don’t think to hard, just focus on staying warm. This is hardly the first time we’ve seen each other in next to nothing. This is for survival Skrimm get it together.’
    ~

    while checking out the shelter of a cave for safety Skrimm and Daisy get separated from the gang and have to survive the night alone, they have rations and plenty of gear even if they can't start a fire in there. In theory it should be fine, but making it through the night in close quarters can get complicated when you're actively suppressing feelings for your friends.

    Literally the trope of "we're stuck all alone and have to cuddle for warmth ohhh noooo how awwwfull..."

    “Is there anything I can do for you, my dear? Anything at all,” Clayton said earnestly, giving Arabelle the warmest look he could muster.
    He was expecting her to ask for more things for her room, or maybe an even bigger pool, or more dolls and toys and castle turrets, and he was fully ready to give her whatever it was she wanted— but what she did ask for floored him.
    “Can you tell me a story?”

    Summary

    Now would be the time to say it, to come clean. To just tell Kremy, his boss, his friend, about the click clacking of train wheels over tracks that haunts his brain. How sometimes he can't hear his own thoughts under the bellowing whistle of a long gone steam engine. How his skin doesn't feel like it belongs to him, his body a machine for someone else's use. How good it fucking feels to find parts of himself in the core of somebody else, working for his own pleasure and dragging them along with him right up to the brink. How those primal sounds of skin on skin solidify that he's not just another cog in an infernal machine, forever toiling until he's sucked dry and spit out. How even then it's not always enough, that it's these quiet moments, devising more and more intricate ways to get the perfect cup of coffee that he doesn't even enjoy, sitting at his little table so close their legs have to touch, riding at the head of the caravan directing the horses while Kremy ticks boxes and traces routes on maps at his side, these small quiet moments that quiet his brain more than a month of one night stands and empty touches ever could.

    Summary

    “You alright, Kremy?” Gideon was no good at things like this. It’s hard to learn emotional intelligence when you grew up as a slave. “You’re acting weird, man.”

    Kremy blinked a couple times. His eyes sharpened after a moment and Gideon let out a quiet sigh of relief. “I’m fine, Gid,” Kremy replied. Gideon smiled at the nickname but said smile fell quickly since Kremy’s eyes glazed over again. “Just… tired. Don’t worry about it.”

    “If you say so…” Gideon mumbled.
