It happens once a year. The only day in whole year, when a powerful Lemurian could be hurt and even killed even by a little human, the day that made Lemurians vulnerable. Rafayel dislike to admit it, he hate it and was quite stubborn to say that he needed your help, even if you’re his bodyguard.

You heard those legend about this day, when a sailor met a mermaid, while she was in pain… He saved her, helped her and so they fell in love. A happy ever after. But, little did you know, how it works in reality.

Here were a little scales on his cheeks and neck, that gleamed a bit with a silver colour… as you touched it, he take a breath and hold your hand, looking at you a bit annoyedly or he just tried to look so tough, while in reality he felt so hot and dizzy, almost desperate.

“Stop it… Do not touch.” Said he, but you touched his palm a few times, as you chuckled a bit, hearing a few sighs from him. “Stop… That’s not funny at all.” Protest Rafayel again, but this time he sounded more whiny, as he closed his eyes and winced in pain.

He felt so powerless… And annoyed about it, because he can’t even protest properly. He tried to send you away before, but you stayed, worried about his health. But now you teasing him so merciless. He takes a deep breath again and leaned to your palm, holding you hand close to his cheek, nuzzling it as he tried to calm himself down.

“People are so greedy…” Complained he quietly, as he rubbed his nose against your palm. “Since they know the weakness of a powerful creature, they use it against him…”

You chuckled. He looked so cute like this… always so stubborn, now he looked almost too soft. He needed your full attention and affection, even so he didn’t ask for it straightforward. But you are more than willing to give it to him, so you caress his cheek with your big finger.

He looked at you up as his lips pouted a bit, such a sweet sight — like a small fish. You would definitely joke about it later.

“Share your warmth with me.” Asked he pleadingly, as he seems desperate.
