Drabble: Antique Bakery

[louiselux]

For trensaddiction, who wanted Chikage, with the prompt: "Hushabye, don't you cry..."

Hush

The children's song had always sounded sad to him, but he sung it now, comforted by the sound of his own voice in the dark.

"Hush little baby, don't you cry… " he whispered, pressing his cheek to messy dark hair. "Don't cry, my Lord."

His hands were tangled in Chikage's nightclothes, keeping him there. Chikage tightened his arm a little and Tachibana sighed.

"Don't tell, please," Tachibana mumbled, half asleep now, and heavy against his chest.

His lord needed him for this, as he needed him for so little else. He'd found something he was good at, after all.

Tachibana's vulnerabiltiy kills me. Chikage's devotion kills me. And you, your beautiful writing, totally brings me back to life...

They are too cute, really. *g*

*nods* Yup. That right there is why Chikage is the world's best waiter puppy dad Teddy Bear. Clueless about so much, but somehow really good when it really counts. *blissed* Lovely fic. Thank you so much. =)

Oops! Excited fingers!

I think you hit the nail in the head there - when it matters, he always knows the right thing to do, somehow. Thank you.

Oh, so very sweet! Chikage is just so lovely!

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Thank you! He is adorable, poor silly man. *g*

*melty puddle* oh yes. Aww, "my Lord". So much love.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Thank you. *g* I had to look up what he calls Tachibana - it's always 'my lord'. Tachibana doesn't often call Chikage by his name, either.

Oh, lovely. Poor Tachibana and poor Chikage, and just... comfort in the dark.

Yes - I loved that flashback in vol 3 so much. It was the total inpiration for this.

Thanks, also.
