Chapter Text
Azure turned and saw Two Time walk to him through the flower field full of nightshades, a hand behind their back. He smiled warmly, facing them completely.
They smiled widely, though it felt forced to him. He knew Two, saw how they worked - they knew him and how he worked as well.
Azure furrowed his eyebrows and frowned at their expression.
"What's wrong, Timey?" He spoke delicately, like they would break if he was any louder.
Two Time shuddered. Of course, he knew something was wrong.
"Nothing, Azure. Just went to sleep pretty late.." They itched the back of their head, tail flicking slightly behind them. The botanist decided not to push further, sighing lightly.
"If you need anything to help you sleep, I can make chamomile tea? The village doesn't have many other resources to make other things that are similar." Azure hummed, his smile returning.
The cultist's smile started to feel warm, geniune. "Ah.. Thank you. I wouldn't mind you doing that." When you respawn. Though, they didn't mention that part yet.
They both looked at each other for a while before Two Time moved in closer to him, stretching up slightly to give him a kiss - in return, Azure leaned down for them.
The kiss was sweet, They had placed their hand on his shoulder. Azure felt giddy and warm inside, like butterflies were in his stomach.
Unfortunately, the kiss became sloppy, as Two seemed to drop something. Their grip on his shoulder loosened as they leaned away, breaking the kiss.
"Two..?" He faltered, not caring for what they dropped as they let out a weak mumble and crashed into his chest.
"TWO!" Azure let out a shout, terrified. He lowered them and himself against the ground, nightshades getting flattened as he started to feel weak - trying to keep his grip on the already passed out cultist.
His vision was fading. The last thing he saw was Two Time in his arms, nightshades cluttering around them both before he blacked out himself.
