the night is lovely as a rose

Vai keeps her promises, and so despite how batshit crazy the world has become in the past five minutes of LongHeat, of course she shows up. It’s too hot even in the night on the beach, and when she appears her dark hair is left wild around her shoulders, her feet are bare, and she wears what basically counts as an oversized shirt with a belt cinched around the waist to make it a dress, however daringly short it wants to be. It has been a hell of a time and then some, and so really it’s little surprise that she greets Zeph without words. No, Vai is straight in his arms and sealing her lips against his own, an arm curling around his shoulders so her fingers can run through his hair (undoing every attempt to make it neat that it can). Humming appreciatively into the kiss, she melts against him and smiles. ”You look good,” she mumbles against his lips. ”Where are we going?” vervain I am always on your side
