"You're too good for this world."

And Seelies did not lie. Meliorn meant the words. There was a great deal in this world that was dark, and corrupt. Yet Raj, seemed . . . pure. Meliorn never thought he would think such a thing from a Shadowhunter to this extent, but alas, he had said the words. And did not regret it. It was clear that Raj often strove to prove himself to others, for even Meliorn's initial impression had been filled with judgment of inadequacy. But, he was indeed skilled and more than capable. So in these shared moments of privacy, he wished for Raj to know that. For whatever happened between Downworldlers -- or specifically Seelies -- and Shadowhunters, his opinion of Raj was such. That he was too good for so much darkness in this world.

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

Mel's hand was warm and welcome, palm down within his own and fingers intertwined. Raj watched lazy birds float across an orange painted sky while the sun slowly sunk behind the treeline of central park. Typically, he was always talking. About anything and everything. There was nothing he would withhold from Mel even if it was just what he had for lunch, but this evening he was abnormally quiet, even as he made up crazy stories about the strangers that walked by, unaware of their presence. It wasn't that he was nervous or anxious, angry or saddened. In fact, at this moment Raj was at his most content he'd ever been in life.  

When Mel broke the silence, Raj turned to face him, lips slightly parted. There was an apparent expression of shock that overcame his face. Sure, Mel's words were sudden, but more than that, they were the truth. Meliorn was incapable of lying. Of course he could manipulate facts with unmatched expertise but Raj found that the Seelie had never attempted it with him.  Raj's hand squeezed Mel's in unspoken reply before he bent his head, hesitating just long enough to give the Knight an opportunity to turn away before capturing his mouth. 

Dark lashes rested upon his cheeks as a sweet and indescribable taste lingered while touching lips.  There were definite passions that stirred in his gut, but he stilled them in order to keep his kiss chaste and appropriate. Breaking free, Raj then connected them at the forehead, a smile sneaking up at the corners of his mouth. "Is this how a Faerie Knight confesses his love to me?" He teased.
