- Enter Lerato and Gannon -
Walking the lightly worn path through the woods, Gannon led the way toward the small cottage that he called home. While Lerato and the other faculty of the Academy mostly resided in the housing district, Gannon chose to live closer to nature, where he felt comfortable. The cottage wasn’t as fancy as the houses found in the city, it was much more rustic and cozy. With the help of several carpenters, Gannon had designed and built the home himself – a fact that he took great pride in. With the help of the creatures of the forest, he'd chosen the perfect space, a place that received the perfect amount of sun in the morning, and shade in the evening. In the spring, the small side garden yielded many wonderful vegetables and wildflowers grew all around, giving the air a lovely fragrance. In the fall, Gannon had the perfect view of the changing leaves - one of his favorite things. It was the perfect place for him, at least, in his opinion.
As the cottage came into view, more of the lovely wild flowers that they’d used for their flower crowns could be seen flourishing around the structure. Several animals lazed about in his yard, squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, birds, even a few deer could be seen as well. This was the typical greeting his received upon returning home. With Brageet back upon his shoulder, she chirped loudly to alert the animals of their arrival, in case they hadnt already noticed. Many of the creatures looked towards Gannon and then to Lerato with curiosity.
“Don’t mind the creatures, they’re usually here to greet me when I come home.” He didn’t mention that it was also because of the treats he often gave them as well. Walking right up to the enterance, he pulled a key from his pocket and unlocked the main door. Stepping inside, he held the door for Lerato, allowing him to enter first. Before closing the door however, he spoke to the animals. “I’ll be with you shortly.” Closing the door behind him, he released a small sigh, glad to be home.
The large windows of the structure allowed for plenty of light to illuminate the space as they moved about inside. Thefront entryway led into his small living room that featured two plush chairs, a small table between them and a fire place, with plush rugs to cushion the feet. Past that, there was an intimate and well-organized kitchen that was scrubbed clean to prevent rodents from intruding - not that they would, they knew better. The entryway, living room and kitchen all featured a wide variety of plants and herbs that here set into elegant pots and stands.
Throughout the house there were also tall perches for Brageet to rest upon, if she so chose. Book cases and shelves were filled with books and all manner of trinkets, from clay figures, to gems, to weapons. From first glance, it would seem that Gannon was a collector of some kind. There were a couple of doors leading off of the living area, which led to Gannon’s bedroom and another to his study, while the last led to a bathing room.
“Please, make yourself at home, Lerato.” He said as he headed for the kitchen to start a small fire in the hearth to warm the water for their tea. Gannon had never been to Lerato’s home, so he had no way of knowing how his little home compared. But, considering the state of Lerato’s office, he had to assume that he lived in a very elegant space. Suddenly a bit self-conscious, he had to wonder if Lerato thought he was some sort of wild man living out in the woods…Despite living so far from the hustle and bustle of things, his cottage was clean and tidy and well put together. It was everything he’d ever wanted in a home, and he had it – and that was something to be proud of. “Lerato, do you have a preference for your tea?” He asked as he readied two cups and a few honey biscuits for a snack.

Upon first glance, the cottage was looking a bit old-fashioned, but the charm of the hospitable atmosphere was prominent, more so with the way it was designed. It was not as fancy as the houses situated in the district, more so like Lerato's own, but the rustic feel was up to Gannon's liking and not everyone wanted to have the similar style. Not to mention that the garden situating the place was splenidid. The flowers used for the crown were grown there and the mage smiled, more so when they glowed with the sun's rays. Plus, the scent wafted through the air, providing the lovely fragrance, and he inhaled softly. Indeed, they would also be lovely for perfume, but then again, having to extract the essential oils from them would be difficult. Not to mention that they were an expensive privilege that only a few could afford.
And Lerato was gazing at the animals that were witnessing his arrival, most looking at him with the curious expression. He nodded at the words that spoke that it was the usual greeting. “Not something that people can see everyday, and I'm starting to like it.” After Gannon assured the creatures that he would be back for them in a bit, he ventured further into the house after the door was closed. There was a couch that smelled a bit like the meadows and he sat down on it. The scent was once again reminding him of the outdoors, but it was nice to have that scenery for a change. He crossed one leg over the other as his colleague asked about what kind of tea he would like to have for today.
“Lemon tea will be nice, thank you,” he spoke, looking at the books that were on display, a small library that was also part of the area. He stood up, his finger brushing against the spine of the book that depicted about fairy tales. A smile curved up his lips as he picked it up; he was planning to read several pages of it while waiting for the tea to finish brewing.

Whilst Gannon brewed the tea for himself and Lerato, Brageet sat on one of her favorite perches. Set higher than the rest, she could see all that transpired in the kitchen while keeping an eye on what went on in the living room. It was during times like these that she wished that she could speak to other humans directly. Lerato was Gannon's colleague and someone who clearly wanted to be a better friend. But Brageet was always skeptical of handsome men and women who tried to get close to Gannon. He'd had his heart broken before and she was very protective of him. If she could speak to Lerato one on one she would have questioned him, asked him why he wanted to get closer to Gannon. She wanted to know his intentions and where they might lead, but alas, all she could do was silently observe and give Gannon her advice. So far, she'd sensed no selfish intentions from Lerato, but she'd need more time to make a better judgement of him.
<<'You’re being awfully quiet, love. Are you alright?'>> Ever mindful of his beautiful Brageet, Gannon didn't miss how silent she was being or the fact that she was openly staring at Lerato. Her elegant profile swiveled to the side as she turned to look at him. Tilting her chin up she slipped her beak together several times, her version of blowing him kisses. <<'I am merely curious about our guest, darling. I have to wonder why he's taken such a sudden interest in you. You know how protective I am off you.'>> Gannon nodded and smiled at her words. He should have known that she was worried about him. It was in her nature.
While the tea brewed, Gannon stepped out a small side door and out into his side yard where the animals who had welcomed him home we're waiting patiently for their snacks. Grabbing a small basket, he offered the dear a few small slat cubes, the birds fresh seed and the other critters nuts and berries. All of them were elated with the small treat and thanked him happily before allowing him to slip back inside to see to his guest. Like the sparrows in the clearing, they were curious as to who Lerato was and why Gannon had brought him home, but he only told them that Lerato was a friend, much to their disappointment.
Stepping back inside, he was quick to ready a tray for tea. Two cups with saucers, a small cup of milk, a sugar bowl, two spoons and a plate of honey biscuits later he was ready to serve Lerato his tea. Bringing the tray to him, he gently set it down on the table nearest Lerato before offing to add cream and sugar if he preferred. Once the tea was made to Lerato’s satisfaction, he took care to hand the cup to his guest before making his own tea.
Cup in hand, he took the seat next to Lerato on the couch and brought the edge of his cup to his lips. He didn’t usually drink lemon tea, but he found that it was quiet refreshing. With all that had happened today, Gannon was beginning to wonder if Lerato wanted to speak about the coming year and their duties as court mages. It made the most sense to him, at least. “Was there anything in particular that you wanted to speak to me about, Lerato?” Gannon, although shy and a man of few words, wasn’t one to beat around the bush. He was curious as to why Lerato had sought his company, and so he decided to just ask.

Lerato sat down back on the couch after picking up the book, turning over to the first few pages. The illustrations drawn in the pages were included for visual purposes, to let the reader know the depictions of characters and the creatures included in the story. He was slowly nodding as he kept on reading; there was a fairy tale akin to Cinderella, in which the stepmother and step-siblings were rich and powerful and the main girl was a servant to them, doing household chores. But Eoana storytellers did provide a twist to the characters because of the knits; the Fairy Godmother was actually a Celebrar with the ability of transfiguration and her ability would wear off when the clock would strike at midnight.
Not to mention that Cinderella herself was secretly a Tenebraer and she invoked blindness to her stepsisters, driving the family to poverty because of the desperation to search for a cure while living the life of wealth and power thanks to being the true owner of the glass slipper. A smirk curved up his features; a happy ending but there was some form of tragedy involved. Lerato was definitely intrigued, but still, such story was nothing else but a figment of imagination since Tenebraers were a rare sight. The court mage was about to read another story when he smelled the tea, meaning Gannon was done brewing and it was served on the tray together with the commodities. He put the book down on the table, ready to savor the tea.
He was about to fetch a cookie, his tea mixed with a little milk and sugar, when the question came about. There were a few seconds of silence before he put the cup down, the porcelain clanging with the saucer. “I admit that... there are secrets that I have kept hidden for a long time from you. Actually, it all began since my first year of being hired as a court mage. Just be prepared for a long story.” And he picked up the cookie, taking a bite and enjoying the sweetness. Indeed, Gannon should prepare to what was to come.

Gannon didn’t fail to notice Lerato’s hesitation when he voiced his direct question. It seemed to have caught his colleague off guard, although he wasn’t sure why. It was a simple question, but then again, Gannon wasn’t very adept at socializing with people, he was more used to the company of animals. Perhaps he had said something offensive?
Gannon’s fears were soon alleviated as Lerato spoke of keeping secrets from him. Immediately concerned, as well as intrigued, he had to wonder what Lerato could possibly be keeping secret from him. Had he done something behind Gannon’s back? Did he not want to be the Court Mage of Eoana Academy? There were so many possibilities.
<<’Did he just say that he’s been keeping secrets from you?’>> Brageet asked, her mind voice holding a hint of alarm. From where she sat, she couldn’t her everything as well as she liked, but she’d been able to pick up on that little tidbit. <<’He did, but he is going to tell me everything, love. Don’t be alarmed.’>> His words however, didn’t go very far to sooth her. Flipping her wings, she launched from her perch and soared across the room to land on another of her perches, this one much closer to the couch they sat upon. Turning to face Lerato and Gannon, she locked her gaze on their guest, ready to hear his story as well.
“I admit, I’m intrigued and a bit concerned, but I am ready to hear your story, Lerato.” There was only one way to learn the secrets that Lerato had kept hidden from him – all he needed to do was listen. Sipping his tea, he watched Lerato closely and waited for him to begin, eager to know what he was withholding from him.

There seemed to be a conversation going on between Gannon and his feathery companion as he finished off the cookie. But also, Brageet decided to fly into a perch, whether because she was still worried about him or decided to give the two some privacy. Nonetheless, he was now ready to slowly bare it all, the cookie's taste still lingering in his mouth. Lerato laced both his own hands together, eyes glowing softly with the sun's rays, the light casting shadows also on both of them. His voice was soft as he spoke the story.
“Some of my preferences can be a bit... odd for a normal male here in this kingdom. There's one thing I didn't tell you yet, that I'm actually gay aside from being attuned to music. Hence you see my behavior and the way I interact towards the students.” And he sighed as he was about to drop the bomb. “And also, I have never felt fascinated towards someone until you came along. So there, I like you so much. Not asking that we can go a huge step since you still have to tend to your own personal needs, but we can start small.”
There, it was the confession that he had to spill out at him. It was definitely bold, but Gannon still had to know.

Gannon sat watching Lerato in patient silence as he began his story. He'd expected some kind of lead in, a long explanation of what Lerato wanted to say, a way to 'soften the blow', if you will. But that didn't seem to be Lerato's style. Like himself, Lerato didn't hint at anything. He just came out and said what he needed to say. He was gay. While this was big news, it wasn't something that he hadn't suspected for some time. Lerato was very effeminate and more delicate than most men - not to mention the fact that he was beautiful beyond belief. So, the reveal wasn't anything that shocked him.
Gannon had been about to reassure him that no matter what the mages sexual orientation was, that his opinion wouldn't change. But then Lerato began to speak again. This time, he said something that left Gannon blushing deeply and blinking several times in genuine surprise. Lerato had feelings for him. And if he was understanding him correctly, Gannon was the first man that had ever peaked Lerato's interests...
<<'Well, if that was the secret he was withholding, then I feel relieved.'>> Brageet said with a little sign of relief. While Brageet might have been relieved, all Gannon could wonder was how he’d caught the attention of someone like Lerato. Did he not realize that there were plenty of men in the city that would happily give up all they had just for him to look their way? Did he not see how his friend, the musician looked at him with such longing? How could Gannon, a man who spoke to animals and lived in the woods attract the eye of someone as elegant as Lerato?
Deciding that it was best to reassure Lerato that his lifestyle wasn’t that uncommon, he knew that he had to reveal something as well. “I appreciate your honesty, Lerato. I wonder if you realize how welcoming Eoana is to men and women who prefer their own gender as lovers. When I first came here, I was welcomed with open arms and not judged in any way, at least none that were obvious to me.” He stated with a small smile. He had to wonder of Lerato realized what he was saying. After a moment, he decided to just be blunt. “While you prefer men, I do not mind either sex. I have had both male and female lovers in the past.” He said with a small smile, he cheeks still flushed from before.

Indeed, the confession was not an easy feat for Lerato, more so because of his past. He was bullied back then, first when he was just a young kid and then when he began studying in the academy. His parents were one part of his backbone, a reason why he had become who he was today. But Gannon was another reason also, though the other hadn't known much back then. A portion of the weight has been lifted off his shoulders, though there were still some settling because of bracing himself for the answer coming from the object of his affections.
Thus, when Gannon spilled the fact that he had been on dates in the past, Lerato was relieved somehow, though he was also feeling anxious. He had forgotten about how Eoana was welcoming people of all sexual orientations, even when some people would become a p***k because of extreme phobias. But still, now was not the time to dwell on the negatives. He sighed as he took his colleague's hand, relishing in the warmth that came back to him. “You are truly one of a kind, you know? I know not everyone knows that you have the quirkiness of talking to animals, but that's one trait that I like about you. Also, the fact that you have the inner strength within yourself, though you don't speak much compared to me, another trait that fascinates me.” He gave the hand a gentle squeeze. “I'll tell you more secrets about myself later, but for now...”
And without hesitation, he kissed him gently on the lips. It had to gentle as to not overwhelm the other even further. If Lerato had to advance even further, he had to take it slow, to give the other time to prepare for what would happen next.

Gannon’s head was still spinning and he wasn’t sure he was hearing Lerato correctly. He was beginning to suspect that Lerato liked him as in, liked him as a colleague and a friend. But then Lerato took his hand. Looking down at their clasped hands, he cheeks, which had finally begun to get back to their normal color, flushed yet again.
Looking up into Lerato’s eyes, he didn’t know what to say, and Brageet didn’t seem to have an opinion either. It seemed they were both waiting for what was coming next. Lerato’s words were sweet, and made him wonder, yet again, how someone who was so ‘upper class’ could like someone such as him. However, before Gannon could say anything. Lerato did the unexpected.
Leaning toward him, Gannon watched in stunned silence as Lerato gently pressed his lips against his in a warm, affectionate kiss. Despite his surprise, Gannon’s eyes closed of their own accord and soon, he found himself pressing his lips gently against Lerato’s as if to silently answer him. The kiss was sweet, and warm and unlike any other kiss he had received in the past. It was a genuine confession that left Gannon with a clear answer – Lerato had deep feelings for him.
As their lips parted, Gannon’s eyes remained closed for a long moment before he leaned back in his seat, his back pressing against the pillow behind him. Opening his eyes, he looked a bit dazed and a bit embarrassed as well. Glancing at Lerato, he knew that he would be expecting an answer, but he wasn’t sure what to say in that moment. ‘Thank you’ seemed too formal, but it was the first thought that came to him.
“T-that was lovely.” He whispered with a small smile, his hand gently squeezing Lerato’s in acknowledgement. He wasn’t sure where to go from here, but it was clear that Lerato wanted to be more than just colleagues and friends…

There was a small spark that flared into a warming flame enveloping his body as their lips connected. Lerato had no experience in relationships yet, so it was all completely new to him. But nonetheless, Gannon also felt awestruck by the sensation, his eyes closed with the pleasant sensation cloaking them both. The sun continued to set, the sky becoming a pinkish-orange. At least the animals were not there snooping around, invading their privacy.
When they broke the kiss, he saw the pink shade dusting his colleague's cheeks. The compliment at the kiss made his heart burst with joy and Lerato chuckled. “You should go read some romance novels. That's where I got the depiction of what a kiss should feel like. There, another secret that I uncovered to you aside from the confession earlier. I'll let you borrow some from my collection if you want.” And he was winking, as if to tease him further after their first kiss had commenced.
If Brageet would come back to notice this, she would be shocked and pleased at the same time. Indeed, birds were interesting creatures and he had begun appreciating such aspects of them.

Gannon wouldn't admit that he had read a romance novel a time or two over the years, but he knew what Lerato was talking about in terms of how a kiss should feel. The authors of those books loved to describe how intense a kiss should feel. He'd always felt that they liked to build it up too much. Real kissing was much more sensual, it was rarely explosive, but he did have to admit that while kissing Lerato, he'd felt a spark of energy run through him.
Brageet, who'd remained silent throughout the kiss, chuckled lightly in amusement of the scene. <<'I have to hand it to him, he isn't one to draw things out. He knows what he wants, and he's brave enough to lay his heart at your feet. What will you do, Gannon?" That was an excellent question, and one that he wasn't sure how to answer. Lerato was his colleague and friend, someone that he worked very closely with. He wasn't sure if it was the best idea for them to be courting one another. But, he couldn't deny that there was an attraction between them either. If Lerato was willing to take things slowly, then he was open to being courted by him.
"Lerato... we've known one another for years, we've worked together for a long time. Have you felt like this the entire time?" He hoped that the attraction had been gradual, over the years that they'd worked together, but somehow he suspected that Lerato was more of a 'love at first sight' kind of romantic. He also had to wonder why he'd chosen today, the day of the festival, to confess to him...There were many questions tumbling through his mind, all of which he hoped Lerato had the answers to.

The silence after Lerato's words would have been awkward if it wasn't for Brageet's gesture, as if she had something to say to his colleague. Though the musician couldn't comprehend what she wanted to say to her master, it was once again a meaningful conversation. And then, the question came about if he had those feelings all this time. The silver-haired man curled his own hand slightly into a fist after letting go of the hold. Once again, he had to come clean, another portion of the story that he had to unveil in front of Gannon himself.
“At first, it was a small spark, then it turned into something big. You may say that it is like the gentle waves of the sea that turned into steady tides lapping over my body. The feeling washed over me as if I was being transformed by the sensation.” Lerato did have a play with words, but that was how he definitely described his feeling towards his colleague. “It had stayed that way since the recent six months, and that’s when my feelings became clear that I was smitten towards you.”
Once again, he had to hear out what Gannon would react at that unveiling. He kept his posture steady as he waited.

Gannon had never been so flattered in his life. Lerato’s description of the way he’d fallen for him over time was poetic and beautiful. Those romance novels needed to take some notes, or Lerato needed to write one of his own, either way. Blushing openly, he smiled a bit shyly and looked to the side, trying to find something to say. All this news was so sudden to him. Had he seen Lerato give him appreciative glances on occasion? Yes. Had he suspected that the male had harbored such intense feelings for him? No. Clearly, he’d been wrong…but then again, he’d never been a good judge of people.
Glancing back at Lerato, he noticed the male’s balled fist and the uneasy look in his eyes. He was nervous and worried – worried that Gannon wouldn’t return his feelings or give him a chance to fall for him. Although Gannon had never had much success with relationships in the past, he found that he was willing to try, for Lerato. He was a sweet man, and someone that he already respected and admired.
Reaching up, Gannon gently removed his flower crown. Taking great care to set it on the table gently, he then turned to Lerato and removed his as well. Once their crowns were placed side by side on the table, he turned to look back to Lerato. Deciding to be a bit bold, to take a chance just as Lerato had done, he reached forward to grasp Lerato’s balled fist in his hand. While Lerato’s attention was draw to the action and the touch of their hands, he reached up to cup Lerato’s cheek with his free hand. As Lerato looked up, Gannon leaned in, his head tilted to the side. Their gazes locked for a moment before their eyes closed and their lips touched in another gentle, loving kiss.
Just as before, Gannon felt that spark move through him. This told him all he needed to know. There was something between them, something that needed to be explored. Gannon held the kiss for several long moments before slowly leaning back. As their lips parted, he opened his eyes to look down into Lerato’s hazel eyes. Smiling slightly, his cheeks going red, yet again, he sat back in his seat, his hand falling away from Lerato’s cheek.
“I want to see where this can lead. I don’t have much experience with relationships…frankly, each one that I’ve had has ended badly. But I am willing to try, to see if there can be love between us.” With the sun setting on the horizon and the sky painted a beautiful mosaic of colors, it was the perfect moment and the perfect start to their relationship…

That confession was something not to be taken lightly also, considering that even for someone who was a perfectionist, Lerato would still have difficulty putting that exactly into words. His thoughts were pushed aside when he felt gentle hands removing the flower crown from his head. Hazel eyes noticed the other's smiling face, together with the gentle overlapping of hands on his own as well as his cheek. He was about to say something when lips pressed against his own, reciprocating the bold move earlier.
And the feeling returned once more, the steady fire that brought warmth into his being. The flower crowns that were put aside glowed under the sunlight, shadows cast to the other side. When they parted away from the kiss, even Lerato was blushing as hell, mainly because of being awestruck by the other's audacity. Then he heard the declaration that Gannon wanted to feel how this new relationship would go on. Lerato's smile was gentle as he replied the next words.
“It won't be much like a fairy tale compared to the fictional books, but I can assure you that we're going to make this work, no matter what the circumstances.” The court mage was happy that the feelings were mutual between them. There would still be challenges awaiting them, but for now, he had to savor the moment as much as he could.
