okay. alright. okay. i don’t fashion myself a writer, but you know how sometimes a prompt just gets you and you have to vomit out 1600 words of overindulgent fluff? you know that urge?

“Hello, Johannes.”Alfred stared up ahead of him, trying to swallow the anxiety rising in his throat.
“I – I wanted to talk to you, if you have the time.”
Cold eyes started back at him, unfeeling.
“I’ve been thinking a lot – about being here, with Herbert and Sarah, but especially, um – especially about you.”
concept: Alfred rehearsing his big I Have Feelings For You reveal for weeks on gargoyles of the castle, because you don’t just up and go to the most eloquent and venerable person you know and tell him you love him, but failing every time because he invariably becomes a blubbering mess about halfway through it…… almost giving the whole thing up because he thinks he’s just gonna be ridiculed….. only to find Krolock has been rehearsing the Speech, too.
