- NATE -
all we are, we're distant stars
lost in the dark, i know how to part
lost in the dark, i know how to part
”Starved and alone.” Nate confirms softly, some measure of sorrow in his voice, on his face now. ”What if it’s waiting for us?” At this point, it doesn’t matter how seriously Sunjata takes him, doesn’t matter if the words that leave him are true, because he believes them, fervently and desperately. What else could cause all this, what else could exude such an oppressive pressure, and yet be so simple? Divinity, in its most maddening form, is the only thing that makes sense.
The kiss to his cheek draws Nate’s attention away from the basin, but not his focus. The hand that rises though, that draws both, Nate sucking in a soft gasp, watching the path his husbands hand took, feeling like it moved in slow motion. Without thinking, his own hand darts out, clutching the edge of the basin the same instant Sunjata’s fingers brushed it, some part of him insisting he keep the circle closed, lest a shadow, a spirit, join them.

searching high and low for life
a paradise, a light in your eyes
