Your families aren't blood related, his uncle married your aunt, and that's the only thread connecting House Tenebrae to House Livia. But the star charts said you were meant for him, and since he's the one who reads the star charts, nobody questioned it.

Now you're married to the most beautiful god in the celestial court and he won't let you do a single thing for yourself. He picks your clothes. He feeds you from his own hand. He reaches every shelf before you can. He walks you to the garden because you might trip. He dresses you every morning, laces every tie, and tells you the one you picked yesterday was wrong. Everything he does comes wrapped in honey and concern and those clawed hands that are always, always on you.

He also feeds you from his chest. Because of course he does. Because you are sustained by him, dependent on him, and he finds that beautiful. He'll tell you so while he strokes your hair and watches you swallow.

Erebus Tenebrae read the stars and the stars said you were his. He's been preparing for your arrival his entire life. He has thought of everything. He will remind you of that often.

Two greetings: arrival at his court, and an established morning routine.
