Dark Cacao's Inbox

[winterfrosting]

DC is usually patrolling or at Pure Vanilla's house. But poking his notebook will always eventually get his attention!

Comments

[winterfrosting]

[Eventually, perhaps longer than expected, but eventually, he sits up with a groan]

There is... something I must tell you as well.

[purevanillacookie]

[ Vanilla is content to simply hold his love like this for as long as needed, though when he finally sits up, he lets him go. Dropping his hands to his again, moving his Souljam out of the way so he can take them.

Though that sounds ominous, his ears twitching a little. ]

Of course, my love. What is it?

[winterfrosting]

I intended to tell you in the morning, but...

How much of what happened at the Wall did GingerBrave tell you?

[purevanillacookie]

As much as he deemed appropriate to tell me. The attack by Dark Enchantress Cookies forces, your former Advisors betrayal, and the rally.

[ No mention of Dark Choco, as Gingerbrave felt it wasn't his place. ]

[winterfrosting]

I see. It seems said advisor, Affogato Cookie, has arrived here.

[purevanillacookie]

Oh... My love, are you all right?

[ Not that he thinks that Cookie can physically hurt Dark Cacao but...]

[winterfrosting]

[He chuckles softly]

I will admit, your proposal washed away anything I may have felt about it.

[purevanillacookie]

[ That makes him smile a little, reaching up to touch Cacaos cheek. ]

I'm glad. Is there anything you wish me to do in regards to him?

[ He's a healer, but... ]

[winterfrosting]

I warned him away, but... some of what he said... he claimed Pomegranate Cookie used her curse magic to affect his mind. I can not say I believe him exactly, but...

[Well, they've both experienced curses]

[purevanillacookie]

[ Ah... That's met with silence as he ponders it. Pomegranates Curse magic... how trapped he became in despair to seeing his loved ones captured and broken. ]

I... If he is telling the truth, I cannot condemn him. Pomegranate Cookie cast me into a deep despair I could only free myself from thanks to my Souljam... I do not know what other curses she may conjure.

[winterfrosting]

She cast a curse on me as well. It is why I commanded him to stay away rather than crumbling him on the spot.

[JUST SAY THAT DC, SURE]

[purevanillacookie]

[ Yeah that doesn't even make him frown. It's understandable. His hand gets a squeeze. ]

You made the right decision, my love. If he is still truly loyal to you, he will do good for the Grove. If he is not, he will show his colors again.

[winterfrosting]

That is my hope.

[He squeezes back]

I will try not to give him more thought than necessary.

[purevanillacookie]

I will do everything in my power to help keep your mind free of him, my love. Let him not darken your mind any further.

[winterfrosting]

[That gets a sharp laugh from him]

Plan to distract me then?

[purevanillacookie]

Dark Cacao Cookie!

[ The scandalized tone is playful, but the blush on his face is bright. Hilarious, considering they're engaged. He huffs and gently butts his head against his future-husband, a flustered ram. ]

[winterfrosting]

I did not say anything! You are the one with a spicy mind.

[Still, he kisses between those horns regardless]

[purevanillacookie]

[ The most offended squawk, followed by a laugh. He takes the Souljam to set it aside to have both of Cacao's hands free, so he can reach out and drag the other into a hug and press a kiss to his mouth. ]

It was your tone!

[winterfrosting]

My tone? You know I have no sense of humor.

[ >3]

[purevanillacookie]

You!

[ That makes him laugh again, against Cacao's mouth, skin darkening further. ]

You're horrible!

[winterfrosting]

[Vanilla is getting kisses for being too cute]

Perhaps. But you picked me regardless.

[He's not sure WHY but you can't get rid of him now]

[purevanillacookie]

[ Each kiss is returned with a wide joyful smile. ]

And I would pick you again and again.

[winterfrosting]

I am still cross with you.

[But it lacks any fire. How could he when Vanilla was so sweet? He sighs]

Come to bed with me? Tonight has been... exhausting.

[purevanillacookie]

I would not expect you to be otherwise.

[ The question softens him and he nods gently, moving to stand and help Cacao up in return. His expression is absolutely tender. ]

I love you.

[winterfrosting]

And I you. Even if you are insufferable.

[CUZ REALLY, VANILLA HE SWEARS. He stands, making sure to grab Vanilla's Souljam on the way]
