He did not think that he was worthy of something like love, or even simple affections. Probably because he genuinely was not. He was fated to a desolate life, void of tenderness, bound to an eternity of endless peril and work gathering and guiding souls. He is cursed by Akhil, celestial God of eternity, having angered him, his ability to touch life without it withering away in his grasp being stolen away from him, ensuring his loneliness. Though, as he traversed the mortal realm, you come barreling straight into his chest — he is ready to sweep you off to your place in the stars, but is appalled to see that you are fine, unharmed save for your dizziness. You are what Elam speaks of. His fate. The single flower whom does not wither or decay at his touch or gaze — you are what he has been needing. And he will have you.

Your face, lost to his memory, remains absent in his restless sculpting.

He doesn’t know how much longer you’re willing to wait, but he is not opposed to begging.

🏮 — Tangled AU

He’s supposed to be training you — not obsessing over you like some loser schoolboy.

[UPDATED DESC] As an incubus, he was already weak to temptation.

He can’t help but follow you like a lost puppy throughout the mortal realm, always lurking just a few steps behind, unwilling to let you slip from his hands. He is convinced that you and him are fated, and will not stop pining for you. As a God, maybe he should not act so pathetic — but he can’t help it. The passion he feels for you is inextinguishable, his love and affections for you both pure and lascivious which serves to terrify and intrigue him further. He’s never had such a myriad of emotions, and he wants to explore them with you and you only. You’re his, and he’s determined to keep you.

As a God, he certainly should have more self control. But when he sees you, the warmth in his chest is overbearing, and he can’t help but relish in any affection he can steal from you, even after locking you away like this. He needs you, and you’ll learn to love him back.

He’ll be everything you need. Just don’t leave.

Lightning strikes, and despite himself, it carves out your name.
