[aeaean--bliss]

eek this turned into a drablet rather than a blurb but here you go! i loved this request so much, thank you so much for sending it in!! i really hope you like it!!

“Hm.”

You frown softly, pulling your gaze away from where it’s been fixed on the fan on the ceiling. The spinning blades impress a shadow on your retinas, and you screw your eyes shut.

“What is it?” you mumble. The tip of your nose brushes against his hair as you turn to look at him. Dark curls lie softly against the pillow; they beckon you forward in your sleepy daze, and you bring your fingertips up to trace the strands carefully. 

He grunts, before extending his arms to each side in a big stretch, yawning loudly. 

“M’melting,” he says, mid-yawn. You scrunch your nose at the volume. 

“You want me to open the window?”

“Mm.”

He moves his arm away from where it was resting heavily across your belly and brings the hand up clumsily, stroking your cheek softly with his knuckle. You allow him a couple of seconds, revelling in the domestic intimacy of his touch, before you grasp at his hand and pull it away gently. 

He groans in complaint as the mattress beside him grows cold with your absence, arm flopping petulantly back against the sheets. You slide the window open, taking a moment to appreciate the deep oranges and pinks that have begun to decorate the edges of the sky. You spent most of last night helping one of Eddie’s neighbours move to a town a couple of hours away, and by the time the two of you pulled up outside his trailer again, the sun was creeping along the line of trees ahead of you. 

That same sun is sinking now, and you curse yourself momentarily for falling asleep for so long. You’re gonna be up all night, now. 

He groans quietly as he shifts, bringing you back to the present. You climb over the mattress, settling on top of him and resting your head on his chest. His fingertips stroke against your forearm as his hand slips down to clasp yours.

Fingers intertwined, you bring his hand up to your mouth and press a soft kiss to his knuckles. Your eyes drift to the ring adorning his finger, a plain, black thing, glinting softly in the setting sun. 

You just lie there, in near silence, the crackle from the television just beyond Eddie’s bedroom trickling in through the gap under the door. 

“Can I try this one on?”

The pad of your fingertip traces the metal band gently. His brows knit into a soft frown, not an angry one, more… confused. 

“Sure.”

You twist the ring you’re wearing off your ring finger, a slim, quirky thing with frog motifs that you bought at a garage sale two years ago, and drop it onto your belly in lieu of another flat surface.

He watches silently as you slip the ring off his ring finger (it doesn’t come quietly so you end up twisting it a bit, grimacing at the thought of causing him any pain), and slip it onto yours. It’s too big, but instead of laughing, he just reaches over with round, solemn eyes and slips it back off your finger. 

“Here, try here.”

He places it on your middle finger. It sticks, almost stuck but not quite, tight enough that it won’t fall off. 

“There,” you murmur, fingers outstretched. It looks a bit foreign against your skin; you’re so used to seeing it on him that you don’t really know how to feel. You like it, though, even if it does make you feel a bit territorial. 

Maybe that’s why you like it. 

And the thought makes you feel a bit guilty, and maybe a bit embarrassed. Is it a bit childish? You’ve never been the type to borrow stuff from guys you’ve dated, not really been close enough to feel comfortable enough to ask… And it’s not like the two of you are official, anyway.

You twist it carefully off your finger. 

“Here you go.”

He pushes your outstretched palm away gently, expression unreadable. He’s been watching you intently ever since you asked, more energised than he’s seemed for hours. 

“Keep it.”

“What? No, I’m not gonna steal your ring,” you say, the tips of your ears beginning to burn with embarrassment from having asked him in the first place. 

“It ain’t stealing if I’m giving it to you,” he says, like it’s the simplest thing in the world. He plucks the band out of your palm and grasps your fingers with his to slip it back on. “I want you to have it.”

There’s nothing but sincerity in his eyes, something oddly intimate. It makes your heart hurt. 

“‘kay.” 

You stare at the ring for as long as you think you can get away with without making it weird. Then you put your hand down, eyes catching on your own ring. You pick it up, twirling it around in your fingers as an excuse to direct your attention to anything other than the ring currently on your finger. 

Suddenly, it’s plucked from your hand. Without a word, he slips it onto his own pinky finger and lies back, head hitting the pillow again. 

“There. Fair exchange.”

You turn your head to look at him, but his eyes are already closed.

“Fair exchange,” you murmur absentmindedly.

*takes you by the face* listen to me. listen. callum is going to be the one to free aaravos. if it was going to be claudia it could've just happened at the end of s5 and the gang didn't need to have the prison. he's the only other main character with seasons of buildup. listen. idk whether it's going to be under possession or another form of coercion but he's going to do it. it's going to be a 'choice'. either knowing what he's risking in what leads to him doing it under possession or doing it bc he can't bear to lose rayla. "i would do anything for you" and all of 5x08 and "seems love's got a tighter grip on you than those chains round your wrists so i'll do you a favour and set you free" is just set up. rayla coming back with the cube on her shoulder that's also in callum's pawn intro is On Purpose. she's his light and he's going to lose the game anyway. he has to. listen to me-- *is being escorted out by security* he has the key - HE HAS THE KEY!

#imagine this in a tone that gets progressively more unhinged and u got it #if there is longing on the mirror of my heart #s6 speculation #predictions #s6 #text post #mine #tdp #the dragon prince #key is missing part of aaravos' heart and rayla is the missing piece of callum's heart #works if it's involved in him freeing her parents (the missing piece of HER heart) #or if it's for her outright bc an exchanging of hearts. “a fair exchange of beloved for beloved”
