Warmth

Count it as snippet of my Vampire: Masquerade cross-overs.
Narsus makes hot chocolate.
Daryoon can smell it from the living room. Reading his paper, making no comment.
Doesn’t look up from unlit text till there’s a small spot of warmth in the cold. Till Narsus is curled up next to him, cold hands wrapped round a steaming mug.
Then he looks. Watches.
While Narsus watches vapours rise from the mug. Smiling.
And Daryoon frowns as the bitter smell assails him.
Hours later, when Narsus’ feet are tucked under his and the mug is cold, Daryoon wonders aloud.
“Why do you bother?”
Comes the simple reply “I like the warmth.”
100 words! I’m getting good at this.
I suppose technically there could be drinking of said
liquids going on but it’s not really going to sit nicely with atrophied organs.
