[ he wakes to the sounds of his father's voice calling the crew to deck sometimes after he dreams of waking in the crow's nest, feeling the way the ship rocks and turns as it floats lazily toward their destination. the very fond, booming: quentin, get your lazy ass up and point us in the right direction. but he wakes to a canopy over his bed, strange wallpaper, stranger surroundings. landlocked.

quentin sighs a little, squeezes koby's hand back and turns to nose against his forehead, humming a little. ]


Mm, maybe. He taught me to love it, so it was inevitable, really.

[ there's a laugh there and he shakes his head, shifting to allow koby closer still, reveling in the comfort and the warmth of someone beside him. he'd woken on those dreams today - sun at his back, waves beneath his feet, and his father shouting something he couldn't hear over the rush of it all.

and just like that, it passes, he feels the ache in his heart and the pull in his gut of yearning and longing, and he tries his best to shut the doors. quentin can't live long in the past - it's better he doesn't get so distracted. (it's better he doesn't get hurt). ]


You didn't eat much - do I need to bring breakfast to you next, or is this going to be an uphill battle to make you enjoy more than just the sticky jam from my fingers? Not that I minded that part at all.

I’m fine. I didn’t disappear over night and I even made it to my own room in one piece. Incredible, isn’t it? My magic is far reaching and powerful.

[ but koby is warm at his side, a pleasant weight against him as his mind tosses and turns with memories. this place is a small paradise, sure, but for how long? how long until he’s thrust back into a world of cold, dark rooms and greedy hands?

he’ll take this for what it is. koby against him warm and soft, beaming up at him, ordering him to rest and heal. he grins and with little preamble leans and kisses koby, the kiss itself chaste and soft, a mere pressing nad lingering of lips.

he comes back a little heavy eyed, sleepy, and squeezes him to his side a little closer. ]


You can go if you want. While I sleep.

[ because he does want sleep, he does want to heal and rest and soak up as much of this energy as he can. he traces patterns on koby’s back, closing his eyes, his cheek pressed to the man’s forehead. ]

[ his eyes don't open again as he settles into the warmth of a body beside his, of the bed plush and thick beneath him. he hums a little in acknowledgement, lips pulling into a faint, sleepy smile. ]

Then don't leave. Stay as long or as little as you wish to stay. But if you eat all the jam I'll have you know I'll have to find a way to it through you.

[ there's a teasing, tired lilt to his voice that is covered up by a yawn next. ] See how very much you taste of strawberries when I allow my mouth to do the chasing.

[ his words slur sleepily and he shifts to nudge a little bit closer to him, nose falling into the faint, pink hair. ]
