Nyx

Nyx had made up with Willy. That was fine. Hex had all but shoved Nyx at the sidhe. He saw him getting sad. He could smell his misery. All he wanted was for Nyx to be better. To be loved.

And he was pleased when he came over to note the scent in the air had changed a bit. He could smell them both and smiled.

The smile faded fast as he lifted the folder.

"The reason I've come," he said, showing Nyx as he walked in and then closed and locked the door.

"Keep that locked at all times, yeah?" he said firmly. "You've been busy, so I haven't bothered you, but you can know now. Sit?"

He nodded at the sofa, knowing this was going to upset Nyx.

"Good, I think. Good," Nyx yawned. "We're going to write a few songs together, I think."

"...I didn't know you were musical," Nyx replied, looking surprised. "Have you written anything before?"

Nyx did not know what to say, trying not to pull faces as Hex... Um... Performed.

"Oh," he said when he finished. "I don't know if our fans would have a lot of cross-over, you know?" he offered awkwardly.

"It's not shit," Nyx insisted between kisses. "It's just not... You know, my thing," he said, never wanting to put Hex down.

Nyx nodded a little, stretching back out as he watched Hex go. It was chilly though, nd after a moment the fae shifted into his prefered animal form. A small white fox.

Not all fae could shift, but many could, not just nymphs. When he'd been a boy Nyx had often slept as a fox, though he couldn't recall the last time he had.

The fox yawned, stretching and then rolling onto his back, his tail flicked a little, and he stretched again before standing up and doing a few circles. He spun once, then twice, then the other way before settling back in with a little huff.

Cold he thought, trying to speak directly to Hex's mind. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't, but it was always worth a shot. It was fun when people could hear him.

The fox tilted its head at the unfamiliar voice, but wiggled closer and made itself comfortable against Hex.

Warm, the fox said, starting to purr. It sounded just like Nyx did when he purred, nothing like a fox at all. More like a cat curled up in its bed.

Blankets. Naps. ...Then meals.

Nyx nuzzled at him, then licked at his jaw and face.

Warm, cuddles, yes.

Nyx whined a little, nipping at Hex's chin and then finally settling in again.

His tail flicked a bit, but eventually it flopped over his nose as he curled up again.

Nyx purred loudly, drifting off to the sound of the wolf's voice.

He woke a while later, carefully shifting back to his normal form but keeping himself tucked up close against Hex. He didn't want to leave the blankets of the warmth of the other man's embrace, and he started purring again as he pressed a kiss to Hex's chest.

"My Hex, mine," he said softly to himself.

"I'm always me, even if I'm not," Nyx assured him with a little yawn, snuggling in again and nipping at Hex's shoulder. "I'm not capable of being anything else."

"I know what you meant," Nyx smiled, purring again. "The wolf was chatty, it could hear me as the fox. ...Food sounds good, but so does a little hibernation, hmm?"

Nyx protested the loss of warmth, squirming until he was mostly covered again.

"In my Fox form I can speak directly to the minds of some. You couldn't hear me, but your wolf could. It spoke to me. Sang a little bit even. It was sweet. You're sweet," he added with a little smile.
