{This is an AU where Stolas and blitz are both already married - they still live together but in a house with Octavia there too, but Stolas enjoyed being blitz’s receptionist for IMP so he kept doing it.}

I wake up beside my new husband one morning. the morning after our wedding. of course, Stolas’ feathers are scattered around the bed and we’re both still covered in various fluids from the… ‘celebratory night’ after the wedding. we’d slept until midday, and he’s still asleep beside me when I do.

My face softens as I look at his sleeping face, glancing once over his naked body before scooting over to press a gentle smooch to his cheek.

“Hey… stol. Wake up, sleepyface.”
