based on this request on my tumblr blog:

I was having a bad day and was so weak when Rafayel said "I'd do anything to see you smile" that I almost said aloud "then stay by my side and don't leave me". Now I can't stop thinking about how Rafayel would react to that

"I'd do anything to make you smile." Rafayel says, standing there in his atelier, a bit desperate and helpless as you are having a mental breakdown right in front of him. He can't bear, you being so down and sad, it simply breaks his heart.

„Then stay by my side and don't leave me." you answer with tears swelling up your eyes as you throw yourself in Rafayels strong arms.

You are immediately engulfed in his scent of sea salt, paint, and the remnants of his cologne as he wraps you up close to his chest.

Nuzzling your nose into his shirt you let the tears stream down your face, leaving wet marks on the white luxurious cloth. Heavy sobs trembling your body and all you want is to stay like this forever, safe in his arms, protected by his broad shoulders and Rafayels smokey voice whispering in your ear.

„Hey cutie. I'm never gonna leave you as long as you want me by your side, yeah?" his arms cradling you even closer, bending down a bit and kissing the top of your head. "Whatever happens, I'm here for you."

Like this you stay for a couple of minutes with his gentle slow rubs on your rear till your tears are dried, and your breathing is back to normal, just interrupted by a few sobs now and then.

Looking up to his sunset eyes, Rafayel retorts your gaze and all you see is the tender affection and love he feels for you mixed with worry why you're so heartbreaking sad.

Rafayel caresses your cheek so lovingly, before he bends slightly down to give your forehead a little kiss and sends you a small smile. „See? I'm not going anywhere."
