dance for me

REXANNA

we were fire and water.
love laced with sin

He always knows the right things to say to her, only now she doesn’t quite blush the way she had before. But the smile that graces her face makes up for it, small and serene, sweet and bright like how she imagines their future to be. Yet she doesn’t have a chance to say anything as he’s adjusting, hovering over her just enough to look down and lift her chin, sapphire eyes searching his own ochre ones.

She lifts a hand to rest on the one that lifts her chin, her thumb stroking it gently as she gives him a brighter smile at the addendum to the vows. “I love you Bastien.” She says quietly, once again, because she can’t say it enough. “And you already have. There’s no doubts anywhere within me that you’ll stop.” Another pause as she searches his gaze. “Likewise, I promise that I’ll do everything I can to keep you happy, support you every way I can, to love you until our last… Well, I was going to say breath, but you know what I mean.” She jests, lifting her hand to his cheek where she taps her finger gently along his cheekbone, a quiet hum of laughter leaving her.

and whenever we happened to touch,
smoke rose from our skin.
