To my secret Santa, Merry Christmas @sirenarts , haven meeting you is one of the best things this year and I will forever be grateful I get to call you my friend!
AO3
โNoโ Azriel simply answered while cheeking some paper from a folder, leaning into his desk with ease as if he didnโt have the fiercest of lawyers in the whole New York area in front of him murdering him with her sight, Lady Death herself, Nesta Archeron.
โWhat do you mean noโ she growled, arms crossed and fuming.
Azriel let a sigh out and dragged his hand down his face, โ It means I am not taking time off from my job to go around asking who wants to come with me on an adventure where I follow some influencer girls around like a lost puppy for a beauty brand launch party.โ He answered harshly, โ Iโll lose all credibility, Nestaโ
Azriel has only felt fear three times in his life, his line of work didnโt necessarily allow him to feel it more often
When his hands were burned
When he almost died
And now watching Nesta smile like the devil herself standing in front of him.
โ Well good thing you need to do neither of those things,โ Nesta said smiling scarily chipper, she uncrossed her arms and put them in her waist. โ Emerie has already agreed and Cassian told me you had already taken the week off so you can do your usual brooding in the mountain.โ
Azriel was left speechless.
Then he frowned, โ How did you get Berdara to do it, she is worse than me with time off and that is something.โ he asked.
Nesta shrugged smirking, putting her hands in her pockets.
โI guess itโs just one of the many perks of being an awesome lawyer who saves your fucking asses all the goddam time.โ
Azirel rolled his eyes, being a bodyguard was a great job and it paid well whoever you were also sued a lot depending on the clients you worked with and how much of an assholes they were
โ Well I might still refuse Nesta,โ he said defensively
Nesta smile somehow grew bigger and she pulled her phone out showing it to Azriel. โ Oh have I forgotten to tell you the person I need you to take care of is Elain?โ she asked, in her phone a photo from the photoshoot of Elainโs new brand; Elain was dressed in a flower gown surrounded by all types of plants and holding some of her products.
He was left breathless.
Azrielโs first thought, as it always was whenever he saw Elain, was that she looked beautiful. There was a shine to Elain that Azriel had only been able to find in the stars in the night. Her glow was incomparable.
He felt his ears and face grow hot and a blush took over his face.
Fuck.
Nesta laid the trap for him and he fell like the idiot he was.
He cleared his throat and scratched his neck with the other, โ Yes, you forgot that very important detail, Nesta,โ he scowled
Nesta laughed, โ Well what can I say, it is fun to toy around with you when it comes to Elain,โ she said examining her engagement ring.
โ You donโt have to gloat on my misery Nesta,โ he said, a sigh of exhaustion scaping him as he let himself fall on his chair.
โ You can always call her Azirel,โ Netsa said rolling her eyes at the stupidity of her future brother-in-law.
โNesta,โ he warned with a serious tone.
โFuck off,โ she responded irritated, โ She broke up with that loser months ago Azriel, you could have easily called her and asked her out and-โ
โNesta respectfully fuck off, itโs none of your business.โ he cut her off tired of hearing the same thing from the same people.
His brothers.
His sisters-in-law.
And his three-year-old nephew.
โSo, will you do it yes or no?โ Nesta asked irked.
โOf course, Iโll do it, Nesta,โ he said exhausted putting his hands on his face.
โ Iโll see you tomorrow then,โ she said walking out of his office with a smile.
_____________________
โ So what exactly does Nesta have on you to convince you to be doing this?โ Azriel asked Emerie as they examined the surrounding area where they were waiting for the car with Elain and her friends for the launch party.
โNot necessarily what but whoโ she grumbled fixing her glasses and walking towards the car that had arrived, opening the door.
โSUNSHINE!โ a small ginger woman exclaimed as she walked out of the car, dressed in a modest teal dress and her straight pin hair loose, a small broach with a moon holding it out of her face. The woman threw herself at Emerie kissing her cheek.
Azriel didnโt know what to do, he froze for a moment and when he was ready to tackle the girl he saw Emerie laugh and hold her by the waist hugging her, she kissed the woman and separated from her turning a more professional stand as she could probably see photographers appear, keeping a discrete hang on the back of her wife
โAzriel, this is my wife, Gwyn Berdara.โ Emerie introduced with a smile.
Azriel couldnโt help but smile, โ Oh so this is why you accepted the job?โ he asked laughing
โ Oh like the reason you accepted was any better?โ Asked Feyre as she climbed out of the car with Nesta.
All the girls laughed as Azriel went red, then panicked flooding him as he looked over at the car but the door was closed, he started to look everywhere for another car, Elainโs car.
โDonโt panic,โ Nesta said putting the poor boy out of his misery, Elain and the twins are coming in another car.
Ease flooded his body until he saw a white car approaching and off the car came out Elain.
Beautiful, wonderful, splendid Elain, in a beautiful dress adorned with flowers of all types, but all of a pink and white scheme along side with some vines.
As Elain climbed out of the car, the first person she saw was Azriel, extending a hand to her, Like all those years ago.
โAz,โ she said his name in surprise, a whisper only for him to hear but with a huge smile on her face.
He took her hand and smiled back at her, โ Elainโ he greeted with the same huge smile.
โI- wha- what are you doing here?โ she said still smiling and hugged him, she couldnโt keep her excitement, the last time he had seen him was months ago, and she missed him too much.
Which was a mistake, especially with all the cameras around them.

โLetโs goโ he whispered holding her waist and shielding her as much as he could from the flashes to the building. โ Oh and,โ he started chuckling a bit. โNesta asked me to keep you safe.โ he answered, โ and I will always look out for you.โ
Elain went red to the face but gave him a huge smile. โ I know,โ she answered as they entered the building.
Cerridwen and Nuala came out of the car and gathered with the rest of the girls as they saw the scene play before them.
โUgh he is such an idiot,โ said Nesta crossing her arms and looking at them.
โLeave them alone Nesta,โ Feyre answered laughing, โ They need time.โ
โThey are both idiots,โ answered Nuala rolling her eyes, โThey are the only ones who donโt know they are madly in love with each other.โ
โItโs going to be a long week,โ Cerridwen answered holding her sister by the shoulders and directing her to the building.
โYes, it willโ Answered Nesta walking with arms intertwined with Gwyn who was giggling.
Emerie shakes her head with a small chuckle and follows everyone inside
