Re: morning of 9/9 - series of texts --> [ Action ]

"Skies have clouds, it's not always clear. You can't always see every piece--and that's okay." he assured her softly. Hesitating, he pressed her hands more firmly against his chest, running his thumbs along the backs in a gentle caress as his mouth worked soundlessly for a long moment, trying to find a way to explain...
"Dahgo. It doesn't really have an English translation--okay, it kinda does, but I'm not telling you what it is yet." His playful smile made a joke of it for a moment, then softened. "It's like one of those foreign words that describes the...smell of loneliness in a forest, or the way it feels to sit on a bus with a buncha people, crap like that. It's complete conquest through perfect submission--a win/win situation you can only achieve by putting yourself in a position where you are a hundred percent gonna lose."
He took a deep breath, then kissed her.
"It's getting your heart ripped out, and not really being able to feel anything? But remembering just enough that you kiss the person holding it right before they crush it and kill you. Dahgo is the reason you steal that kiss--you know you're not gonna live, and you don't care 'cause you got to kiss the girl. You felt her mouth on yours, you know how she tastes, and you did it with a perfect understanding of what was coming. Even if you die, you still got kissed--win/win...only sometimes, just sometimes, you get lucky. You don't just get the kiss, you get your heart back, too. That's dahgo. That's what I have right now, right here, with you...and if someone crushes my heart? Too goddamn bad, I still win: they can't take away what I feel. The worst that can happen is getting my heart back. Do you understand? I mean--does that make sense?"

And she was grateful, beyond grateful, when she tucked her head to his chest to rain kisses over his hands, not to have to feel guilt on his behalf. "I understand. You wanted this--" Her head lifted, eyes opened to find his gaze so there could be no mistaking that she accepted the connection between them. "--wanted me, and now you have me. If that ends, you'll still have had this with me. For reasons I still don't understand, I'm worth getting your heart crushed for."
She wet lips gone brittle and dry from breathing through her mouth, so not to cry. She started to tell him that it wasn't this with him that was the problem. It was that having it felt like losing Robin. But she couldn't. Or if she could, she wouldn't. Neil loved her and somehow that made him happy. Another day she could ask him to hold her while she wept for Robin (and knew he would, and would never resent her for it), but not today.
Today, she would bask in this and him. Today her love for Robin would have to fend for itself.
She glanced up at him again and leaned up to plant another kiss on his mouth. "My dragon knight," she murmured at him, voice sweet and low. "As long as you know I don't intend for that to happen."

"And I am. Your...dragon knight." He paused, laughing softly as he ducked his head, shaking it a little in amazement. "I like that, it's--you do realize I have absolutely no noble blood, right? I held position at court, but I never held a title."

Date: 2018-09-14 05:16 pm (UTC)And yet, something warm and wickedly perverse bubbled up in her then, the rebellious part of her spirit that had given rise to her evil self. He could be a knight. She was the queen after all. It had to be good for something in this world. Not today, but someday soon... yes.
She hid a grin (take that, Mother) behind the light in her eyes that was all him. "So, now, say that again without the hesitation." Sue her, she liked hearing it. Even if you dropped the 'E' word, she was still a possessive witch.

Date: 2018-09-14 06:16 pm (UTC)"The will of the gods upon my tongue: I am your dragon knight." he repeated, promised, then sealed the simple promise with another kiss--simple, chaste, ceremonial.
And when he drew back, raised an eyebrow at her with a mischievous smile of his own. "Happy now?"
Re: morning of 9/9 - series of texts --> [ Action ]
Date: 2018-09-15 12:46 am (UTC)As happy as she'd been with Robin, and that, if he only knew it, said everything.
