AURELIA
and my hands aren't clean
maybe they never will be
maybe they never will be
Aurelia couldn't help the smile that cracked her serious demeanor as he feigned hurt. She narrowed her eyes playfully at him, knowing full well he was fine. He'd gotten her with it before, because.. well, sometimes she just didn't know her own strength. But she knew better this time, and her smile faded again as she awaited his own response to her answer, hanging onto every minute expression in his eyes.
The grin that spreads along his handsome face and his declaration of it not being too much made her laugh a bit. It was a notion of both relief and delight. When he leaned toward her, her expression softened into a smile as she gazed down to the unique shapes his lips made as he spoke. The words came out soft and sweet, and she glanced back up to his eyes. "Together," she breathed the word, breathed its meaning as if she'd been holding her breath a long time.
Her eyes sank shut as she met him halfway for the kiss, eager to intertwine her lips with his. Her hand swept around to hold his arm, to hold him to her just as much as he was holding her to him. It glided up his bare skin to his neck, fingers sliding into the edges of his hair, her thumb finding a place along his jawline.
She broke the kiss after, well, she wasn't counting. But she broke it, regrettably, her thumb still stroking his stubble slowly. Her eyes were still closed as well, as she hovered there. "Mm, Milo, can I ask you something?"
She blinked open her eyes, a glint in them.
"Before you go. Will you join me? For a swim?"

but they can still carry you home
when you're ready to sleep
when you're ready to sleep
