be

this is your sport

but she's not playing a game

In the face of the proposal, Kiada’s forgotten about everything else too except for the warmth of him beneath her, how safe she feels in his arms, how she wants nothing more than to do this for the rest of her life. A happiness so fleeting before, settles into her bones and overflows into the rest of her, leaving her limbs tingly.

Her forehead settles against his as he blurts out his comment, a snicker of a sound leaving her in response, she settles easily into the warmth of his hands as it walks up underneath the hem of her shirt, against her soft skin where the swirls of burn marks await his touch. “I’m so honored.” She whispers softly to his cheek as she leans in to press her own right against it, curving herself into him to touch him everywhere she can. “My lips are sealed until you’re content.” She hums, even if they were not, in fact, sealed with the kiss she presses to his neck as she nuzzles in like a comfortable, purring kitten.

Until he mentions a ring, and she sits up to look at him with wide eyes, grin brightening across her face. “Really?” She nearly squeaks, having not expected any of this with how shaky and emotionally and in the moment he’d just proposed.

do not think you are safe because you love her

do not think she won't stain her mouth red with your blood too
