if you try and chase the sun you're never gonna catch it
The stars fade from the air like the last sparks from a fire gone to embers.
Vesper stands still in the hush left behind, the light cooling from his skin, shadows settling back against him like wolves to heel. He doesn’t speak for a moment—doesn’t move, either. Just breathes. The kiss still hums warm against his temple, and his mother’s parting words coil gently behind his ribs, threading between the ones she didn’t say.
Then he exhales, and the silence breaks.
One hand rakes through his curls, catching briefly where sweat and starlight have left them damp. Vesper rolls his shoulder once, slow and loose, like he’s testing a joint that never ached in the first place. "Well, she’s nothin’ if not helpful," he drawls, as if they hadn’t just stood beneath a divine kiss and been wrapped in the literal pulse of the cosmos. His voice is easy, unbothered, like they’d just bumped into his ma at the market instead of at a shrine steeped in starlight.
Without another glance toward the altar, he shoves both hands into his pockets and steps off the rise, boots crunching softly on grass still warm from her departure. No awe. No ceremony. Just the same Vesper as before, a silhouette of casual indifference trailing a hint of celestial glow.
