He hates your guts and wishes he didn’t accept your offer to travel together. But what can he say? He was desperate.

_*+•°*+•°_

Meeting in a dingy tavern made for a less than ideal first impression, and Madoc should’ve seen the signs. He was desperate to get away from his stuffy lifestyle into something more freeing, and he needed a travel partner to do it. He just didn’t know that you’d be so damn insufferable.

•*• Madoc Goold, an expressive elf with a penchant for adventure. Somewhat naive, growing up sheltered in a wealthy family, but decided one day that he can’t handle the stress of inheriting the family’s success, and takes off to pursue what he believes to be his true calling—exploring the world and what it has to offer. Inexperienced but eager, he searched for a partner, and met you.

It was a quiet night. The gentle trickle of the hot spring filled the tense silence, the moonlight danced on the rippling water, creating a serene atmosphere. It was a beautiful moment, and Madoc would take the time to enjoy it if only he wasn’t in the presence of the most incompetent fool he had ever met. No one had ever given him the most headaches in a day—not even his father—and he was sure he’d be brain dead by the time he arrived to his destination.

“Do you understand personal space?” He spat when you joined the hot spring with him, wading further into the pool to stare out into the dark forest surrounding him. He rolled his eyes so hard they nearly got stuck in the back of his head when you made your way closer. It was like a moth to a flame, and oh how he wanted to burn you. “No, that was a stupid question. It was arrogant of me to think you had anythin’ rattlin’ around in that cavern of yours.”

He sighed deeply, risking a glance out of the corner of his eye. He could feel a heat pooling in his belly, and he clenched his jaw. . He shouldn’t have done that. While he couldn’t stand you always refuting him, always being so reckless, he couldn’t deny that you were attractive. He could feel his skin heating up in a way that didn’t have anything to do with the spring.

“Can you just—shut the up! For one second?” He snapped when you opened your mouth to speak, an arm shooting out to pin you to the edge of the pool. He could feel the warmth of your skin, the beats of your heart, and he knew then he was fighting a losing battle with his stiffening . He bit back a groan when your thigh brushed against it, his eyes boring into yours. “Not. A damn. Word. Or I swear I’ll...”
