Azriel lemon (acotar)

Grumpy shadowsinger (Gwynriel)

After the blood rite the girls' training had gone worse, at the end of the day they couldn't even stand up straight, azriel and cassian came up with new ways to torture them everyday.

Today they had harder training and with cassian's supervision they couldn't even just lay down for a second. He promised to never let them feel weak again and if he wanted that to be true they had to fight twice as hard. Azriel was not there, he got orders to go to the town house early in the morning.

When the training had finished, everyone made their way back to the house except gwyn. She wanted to continue. She couldn't get over the fact that she had again proven the shadowsinger's point on the fact that no one was able to do the new training, despite being tired, she kept going.

A whole two hours past, emerie was gone back home and nesta was probably at the library -which she could be in if she wasn't so competitive - and cassian had gone down to meet the high lord. Gwyn looked around, sitting inside the ring all alone, she felt calm. Until she heard a rustle where the house was, turning her head around she found a figure surrounded with shadows, all moving like crazy.

The shadowsinger himself was pouting, he walked slowly inside the ring, then looked at her, his eyes widened as if he didn't realise she was there until he stood in front of her. "Sorry" he mumbled, "are you ok" she couldn't stop the curiosity. He looked around and said "I'm fine", the shadow darted to gwyn, moving smoothly down her hair and back to Azriel, they both watched it. "I don't know why they do that" She looked up and met his stare, cauldron if looks could kil-. "They like you" he said, still staring. The remark came quick and she couldn't control it, "what's not to like". Gwyn regretted the stupid remark as soon as it came out but when she looked up she saw him with a broad smirk, she started to laugh, one of his shadows flew from him and started to dance with her breathe in circles,  gwyn watched it, her laugh came to a stop and the shadow noticed. quickly it flew to azriel.

Getting off the floor, "I have to go to the library" she said still smiling, his smile faded into a hard line and the shadows started to grow from behind him, gwyn started to fidget with her bracelet but then she got the courage to say "if you want to come, you can. I'll be in there shelving books, you don't have to talk but I'll be here." She quickly moved, not allowing him to say no or even a yes, she was too afraid for a rejection.

- at night

Gwyn couldn't sleep so she stayed awake, on one of tables she sat reading one of the books nesta recommended, it was good, one of her favourites actually. Enemies to lovers type of books was always the best. except in this book, Gwyn was annoyed with the guy who is picking the wrong person and there is a huge misunderstanding which is not getting solved and getting Gwyn angry. she reads the chapter and nothing is getting better, at this point she is getting frustrated and deciding between if she wants to continue or stop reading, Gwyn snaps when the guy kisses the stupid witch in front of the main character making Gwyn throws the book on the table, creating a loud noise and earning herself a glare from Clotho.

"I didn't realise reading is intense" her eyes move in front of herself, making eye contact with a still angry shadowsinger who is frowning, "do you know how annoying men are?" his frown turns into a smile then into hard line, "like honestly! its so stupid how we tell them we love them but then they kiss someone else in front of us and act like we never had a moment or that he starts acting like he doesn't even know Caroline like honestly ARE YOU STUPID?", he picks the book up, keeping a finger inside where Gwyn was up to, turning the book around he laughs. "you know gwyn there is a difference" he laughs, "difference?" she askes, "between real males and fictional" his hands gently place the book in front of her with the page she was up to, open. "not really, you all are the same" he lifts an eyebrow in question and she feels her cheeks heat knowing that she just turned into a tomato.

"recommend me a book, one that doesn't make me hit it and earn myself a mad Clotho", Gwyn couldn't help but giggle, "I shouldn't recommend anything because everything I read is not innocent" Gwyn had to whisper the last part, it's wasn't her fault! It was emerie and nesta! They got her into reading things like that. Azriel's eyebrow shut up, "so sweet gwyn isn't so sweet after all" he mocked, "stopppp" her hands covered her face, she couldn't look at Him and admit it.

"Still give me something" he chuckled, it was beautiful, she couldn't help but slide her hands on her book and just look at him, "what?" He asked, "nothing, I've just never heard you laugh or see you smile like that", his smile faltered and returned back to the hard line. " I guess being with someone who reads dirty things brings it out of everyone", " I don't read dirty things" I practically yelled at him and he started to laugh while Clotho shushed me angrily from her desk at the door, "ass" I said after mumbling a quick sorry to Clotho, he gasped saying "who taught you those words?", "nesta and cassian" well they didn't teach her, they just always said it in front of her.

" you need to get new friends" he joked, the clock strikes 6 making azriel stand up, I didn't realise how long we were talking, " I have to go" he said sharply, "thank you" then disappeared.
