Rocking Chair (object) - WC: 199


In the corner of the bedroom in their flat, there is an old rocking chair. Regulus had found it lying around in the attic of his parents' house and brought it over to decorate their new apartment. Mostly, the chair remains empty and unused. (Both Regulus and Barty are busy with their… jobs, especially since Barty has recently ascended to the inner ranks of their master's.)

But on the occasion that they both have time to relax, one of them might curl up into the rocking chair and teeter back and forth until the other notices. If Barty is in the chair, then Reg wedges into the space next to him, their sides touching from the shoulder down. If Reg is in the chair, Barty shamelessly seats himself in his lover's lap.

And then the two talk. They breathe in the other's intoxicating scent, they press kisses in to each other's necks, and they cuddle in the old chair until they fall asleep.

Neither talk about the crude events of their day, and the Dark Lord - the one who cannot understand love like this - isn't mentioned at all when they are in their shared rocking chair.
