He's never been so happy to have a flood pass him by. He doesn't know what would happen if someone else had taken his place and taken him away from Eric.

He still insists on sleeping together, on keeping Eric with him close by, even if he can feel him, and ensures that they both have plenty to eat. Godric keeps bottles of real blood in the fridge, but it's magical, from Archer, and slightly more potent than what the Admiral keeps, which he retrieves for them when Eric needs or asks for it. It feels good to take care of him again, though. Having him here, in the cabin or taking him along to the library for his shifts, makes it feel...normal.

Even Freyja, the black kitten Godric's adopted, has come to accept Eric in her home and will occasionally wander over and sit by his side if he allows it.

One evening, just as midnight passes them by, Godric sets down the book he's reading.

"Would you like to come on a walk to see the Enclosure?"

[bythenorthsea]

Once he'd realized he had one, Eric learned of the situation that had swept the barge. People coming in, family of sort or close ties to citizens of the barge and he wonders, being so new, how badly he would react to someone they knew coming in place of Godric. And he's relieved that they don't have to find out.

Sleeping is easier now, but there is a lurking uneasiness of the time coming where he should return Godric's privacy to him. That isn't to say that he thinks right then, or even for the next little while, that either of them could stand to be apart from each other much longer than they absolutely had to, but there were people here that needed his maker, too. And as much as that makes him the tiniest bit jealous, he keeps telling himself that he has something with Godric that none of them have.

He's staring at the cat when the question pulls his attention to his maker. "Of course, I would," Eric replies softly. "I have no idea what that is but a walk with you I can't refuse."

My name is Rosita. You're Eric.

Where are you?

[bythenorthsea]

Well, hello, Rosita. I've been expecting your call.

I'm in the dining hall.

[loveisall]

Knock, knock. Godric is tired of waiting and tired of Eric's nonsense.

He comes to his door and waits.

[bythenorthsea]

He knows who it is. It can only be one person.

And Eric didn't want him seeing him this way.

Please go.

[hippie_ninja]

He's coming over to get coffee, not really expecting to see Eric in Godric's cabin. He figures Godric will still be asleep so he lets himself in silently and goes to the kitchen to fill his mug.

[bythenorthsea]

Eric's having an easier time sleeping now that he's back at Godric's, though he still manages to be up before him. When Jesus arrives, he is just stepping out of his maker's room, bare chested though only temporarily so since he left his comfortable cotton t'shirt beside the bed for the next night.

"Jesus," Eric greets, slipping one arm through the black button up shirt he planned to wear for the evening, then the other and leaves it unbuttoned for the time being. "He's still asleep."

And off he goes into the kitchen to get something to drink.

[Yes, this is out of nowhere, and yes, she sounds... eh.]

Why'd you make that joke? Of all the jokes, why that one, that you'd probably seduce me?

Is it a weird vampire sex thing? Is it a weird you thing? Or something else?

[bythenorthsea]

If by something else you mean that I find you attractive, then yes.

It wasn't a joke, Rosita. I was being very serious.

[artistinexile]

Good day, Eric. Are you interested in a brief, one-day experiment?

[bythenorthsea]

That takes place when? I generally keep to vampire hours, even here on the barge.

[routemistress]

'Ello sweetheart! Looks like you and me for this month. Want to meet up and talk about it?

[bythenorthsea]

[ he doesn't see the message until he wakes up after "dusk" ]

Lucky me. I'd love to. Maybe give me an hour to get up and get ready. Where do you want to meet?

After the pairing announcement

[madaboutit]

If you hurt her, I will make your life very unpleasant.

[That's really all that needs to be said.]

[bythenorthsea]

[ fuck the text reply, sweeney gets a voice message.

he laughs, bright and chipper. ]

I'd take your warning more seriously if it wasn't in a text bubble.

You know if I wanted to hurt her, I would have already? Or, I could have left her in the Otherworld to rot as monster bait instead of going in and finding her. Where were you?

[ a pause ]

Don't threaten me again.

[loveisall]

Eric, Rosita will be using my cabin whenever she needs to. Is that alright?

[He very nearly leaves it at that, but - ]

Try and keep your hands to yourself.

[bythenorthsea]

[ Eric would reply with 'you know i can't promise that' but he thinks better of it. Especially since it sounds like something is up. ]

Sure. Is everything okay?

Audio

[loveisall]

I have something for you. Come find me.

Re: Audio

[bythenorthsea]

Oh, a present? But it's not even my birthday.

[ he already sounds like he's on the move, checking around his maker's cabin first. ]

[hippie_ninja]

I have a favor to ask you.

[bythenorthsea]

Do you? Go ahead and ask it then.

During the Hold Me Tight Flood

[loveisall]

Come and sleep with me during the day. It will ensure we both can sleep soundly and our humans need not worry for us.

stockwood port: closed to godric

[bythenorthsea]

[ cont. ]

.. if you want.

There's no question whether he does, but the way he answers is low predatory growl, bearing his teeth and biting down until he can taste of Godric's blood on his own tongue. At the same time, he makes quick work of yanking whatever clothes off that are in the way of them being bare to each other. He needs to feel it, touch it and feed off it.

Re: stockwood port: closed to godric

[loveisall]

He wraps an arm around him, letting him have the control that Godric has never been able to afford him. He digs fingers into his back so hard that they'd bruise a lesser creature.

The taste of his own blood draws out a moan from the back of his throat and he raises up to meet him in a kiss.

The clothes come off easily, revealing nothing but the ink underneath. Godric has seen him bare before, plenty of times, but this is the first time in a thousand years that Godric has allowed himself to look on Eric in lust.

He wraps one leg around his waist, holding him close.

Letter Written to Eric and delivered by Iris

[loveisall]

My brother, my father, my child, my son, my love:

I cannot imagine the loss that you suffer with the weight of my disappearance from the Barge. The emptiness that I have for you now is almost overwhelming. There is no comfort for me in the daylight, no presence of safety in my bed. It seems a cruelty that I should be torn away from you when we have finally found our happiness.

But this is not an absence. I waited a hundred years to see you again after we parted ways. I will wait a hundred more, here in this house. The view by the ocean is one that I will share with you. We are forever bound and you are forever loved.

I am sorry that I cannot see you again. I am sorry that I cannot hold your hand and kiss your pain away.

But I am and always will be yours,

Godric
