Anger Management
"HYAAAAAHH! DIEEEE!" Raven war-cried, bringing down his sword on an unfortunate enemy that walked into his path.
Lucius winced as bits of knight splattered all over his robes. That was what usually happened when you were in the vicinity of Raven in battle.
The monk sighed. "Lord Raven, there's really no need to-" "Later, Lucius. Right now, there are still enemies to kill!" Raven bounded off, in search of Ostian enemies.
Later that night in their tent, Lucius sat himself in front of Raven, who was seated on the ground, cleaning his sword of any trace of blood.
"Lord Raven, we need to talk." Lucius said firmly, placing a hand over Raven's. It was then it struck Raven how feminine Lucius was. Not that it had never occurred to him before, just that with Lucius's sparkling blue eyes and billowy blonde hair against the black backdrop of night sky made his features more prominent.
Raven grunted in acknowledgement.
"I'm starting to think you may need anger management, Lord Raven…the way you took down enemies today was, err...particularly worrying. If you want, I cant engage a friend of mine to help…" Lucius rambled on.
"Lucius, you may not know it, but you're the best 'anger management' I will ever receive…and I love you for that..."
"W-what?" Lucius stifled a gasp, withdrawing his hand. Did he hear correctly?
"Oh crap. Did I just say that ALOUD?!" Raven berated himself inwardly.
"…Lucius…" Raven reached out to hold the monk.
"N-no! L-lord Raven! I cannot…" Lucius stammered, mind already in a whirl.
"….Lucius, I'm not asking you to return these feelings. I just want to let you know…how I feel. Goodnight, Lucius…" Raven blinked back stray tears and half-ran out of the tent.
"Lord R-raven!"
With morning brought a new battle. Raven threw back a fighter with his blade, slashing wildly. The fighter fell to the ground, still and unmoving.
"LORD RAVEN! LOOK OUT!"
"What the hell…?" Raven swung around, only to be greeted by a paladin hovering above him.
A blinding flash of light and a cry of pain was all Raven remembered.
"Arrrghhh…my whole body feels like it's on fire…" Raven stirred, wincing at the immense pain coursing through his body.
"Oh, Lord Raven! You're alright!" Raven felt arms wrap themselves around him, and wet tears soak his shirt.
"Haaah…Lucius…? Izzat youu?" Raven slurred, due to the excessive mend staves and salve he had ingested.
"L-Lord Raven…I love you too!" Lucius tightened his grasp on Raven.
The mercenary smiled, ignoring the pain as he leaned forward to plant a light kiss on the monk's lips.
Nowadays, you can see the significant change in Raven. You can just tell by the slight decrease in the number of enemy corpses on the battlefield.
