688 Words
Nicholus knocking on the half open door of the home-office at his house -the Divine-Sinn Residence in the middle of night....
Knock..knock....
Alex shot his head up from the open books,files and every sort of papers on the table.
"You did not sleep?" asked Alex.
" This is the fourth night in a row that you are sneaking out of the bed and coming to the study and burning the night candles ....what is it Alexander....is everything alright?" asked Nicholus visibly concerned.
Alex smiled and said "I thought ..you were sleeping.."
"You cannot hide from my eyes ...Alexander...even when they are closed. " said Nicholus walking closer to Alex.
Nicholus started massaging Alex's neck and shoulders. Alex relaxed on the touch of his warlock.
"Care to share what exactly is bothering you ....I may not be of much help ...but discussing with me can enlighten your mind and you can zero upon the solution..." said Nicholus, massaging Alex's head ,neck and shoulders.
As Alex was getting very relaxed , he said in sleepy tone relishing the rhythmic hand movements of his warlock....
" Its that the new Inquisitor is so demanding . No matter what I do for the betterment and development of the institute ,he would always make it his arduous job to find faults in my work . I think its because of his orthodoxality. One I am a gay and two I am married to a so called 'downworlder' and to be specific a warlock ".
" May I know ...what is the name of this new Inquisitor ? " asked Nicholus now massaging Alex's back and spine.
Alex leaned a little in front on the table so that Nicholus could get space to work well on his back. He was savouring the loving yet pressured touches of his warlock.
"Yah...of course .....his name is Victor Malachi" said Alex in weighed tone.
" So you are working your ass off to make Malachi happy on your work . Alexander , you are a born leader. Whatever you do for the institute ..I had seen they could not be done by any other Angelchild who came in the past and you are a trailblazer, you are making the path to be followed by the future Angelchild. So don't overstress yourself for a homophobic ass . " said Nicholus.
Nicholus was now moving his practiced hand over Alex's shoulders. Alex moved his chair a bit ,took Nicholus' hands from his shoulder ...and made him sit on the edge of table before him so that he could see his loving face.
" You always encourage me. You know whatever I did , I could not do them if I did not get your support. You are my rock Nicholus. You are my keystone." said Alex wrapping his arms around Nicholus' waist.
Nicholus caressed Alex's head and stroked his black raven hair.
" And Alexander, Victor Malachi had five controversial extra marital affairs in his life. Out of which three times he was found dating a downworlder . And his grandfather was bisexual . So this time if he tried to act like a so called pure and pious Angelchild who never had any connection with the "downworld affairs" you know now what exactly to bring up my sassy , sexy , husband " said Nicholus kissing Alex's nose who was so far absorbing each and every word of Nicholus like a sponge.
Alex then grinning ear to ear said ," You are a genius my sexy warlock . Now nobody can save Victor Malachi from Alexander Divine . If he chose to act like a homophobic ass , he would rightly be kicked on his back by your sassy Divine."
" That's why I always say ....when you have problems ....just don't push me away " said Nicholus kissing Alex's forehead.
Nicholus closed all the books and papers on the table and stood Alex up to take him to the bed . Alex did not protest his warlock.
On the bed ....Alex snuggled into Nicholus and Nicholus was humming an Indonesian lullaby...suddenly ...
"And Alexander....its not just my sassy Divine ...but..it is my sassy Divine-Sinn." said Nicholus and resumed the musical humming.
Alex smiled and soon got engulfed into deep sleep.
