[There was no warmth in Essek's arms these days, but that only made Caleb all the more determined to be that warmth for his vampire husband. The drow had never been loved by the sun, but since it had been denied him entirely, Caleb did the best he could to make sure that Essek never lacked for warmth or light.
His biggest fear was what would happen to his lover when he was gone, and someday he would be gone. Caleb knew all too well that he was mortal, and Essek had made it clear that he had no intention of turning Caleb. But he'd thought they'd have years more than they did; seeing the future was never one of his talents, after all.
But in this moment, he was safe and content, exhaling a soft sound at that nuzzling. One hand reached up to touch through Essek's hair, soft and tender.]
I will always return to you, mein Sternenlicht. [A promise, and certainly one that he intended to keep whatever the cost of it was.] My heart and soul are yours, it seems only right that I should return them to you.
