    Summary

    Varka smiled down at Lohen sadly. “Then why do you keep such tight constraints on yourself? Tell me, Lohen, for I cannot fathom how someone as strong as you sees themselves as… deserving of punishment despite having shown incredible strength against an enemy that I can swear on my honor that neither I could win against.” 

    “It’s different,” Lohen began, but his words felt hollow. He repeated, “It’s different.”

    “How?”

    Lohen could feel the same frustration clawing at his skin when his parents would berate him for going out and coming back bloody. It was something that was wired innately into his being. He needed a stimulus that proved that he wasn’t someone who could be easily stepped over. 

    “How?” Varka asked again.

    Lohen opened his mouth, and it felt as though his tongue had gone dry. He sniffled before turning his head away. “It just is, I don’t know.”

    “If you don’t know, then will you let me make the decision for you?” Varka asked.

    Summary

    It’s become a nightly routine of theirs that’s shaped itself over the years spent in Nod-Krai. Every time Lohen returns to Favonius Keep from a fight, Varka is waiting for him in his tent, with a first-aid kit ready to be used.

    What comes next plays out exactly as it always does. Varka removes his gauntlet, then pulls on the glove on his other hand, leaving his hands bare. Lohen observes Varka, how deliberate he is in each and every movement, his eyes trailing along the lines and curves of Varka’s hands as he washes them, drying them with a clean cloth, before opening the first-aid kit.

    Lohen has long stopped commenting on how unnecessary Varka’s attention is, in these moments. He’s made his promise: to always come back in one piece to him. However, it’s instinctual for Lohen to open his mouth, a request for Varka to speed it up, but no words come out — it feels wrong to break this encompassing calm surrounding them.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Summary

    "Wow, Grandmaster," Lohen gives a slow applause, his face no longer holding the gaze of a predator, but now pure indifference, "nicely done, getting out of that hole."

    "Yep," Varka rolls his shoulder, "there's never something I can't handle, you know." When he gets the ache out of his shoulder, he glances at Lohen from the corner of his eyes. "Especially not another Alpha."

    Lohen blinks, once, twice, three times, before breaking out into a grin.

    There's always been a sort of... tension between Varka and Lohen, given they were both alphas. Lohen was all bark WITH a lot of bite, and Varka entertained every whim. But when things go a step too far, Varka's forced to re-evaluate what should be happening between of them, and it doesn't help that Lohen's starting to act off, either.

    lovingly referred to by the author as "the varhen bitching fic".
