Aurelia
don't worry about the
darkness in my soul

If he were to ask her aloud, what keeps her this close to him for this long, she wouldn't have a direct answer. A plethora of things tug her closer, she can feel it like a fight or flight instinct even if she can't explain it. It's now that she suddenly realizes how hard and fast her heart is hammering against her chest. That fluttery feeling in her stomach makes her breath feel shallower and shallower. She can see the sweat that builds the beads along his frayed skin.
For a split second, which is long enough to make a decision, she knows that nothing in the world could pull her away. Not the tides of the ocean or fractures in the earth's surface, not lightning coursing through her veins or deafening flames - not even the tiny voice telling her to push him away. Her hands clasp over his skin, slick as it is from sweat. Her nails start to dig in, leaving indents as they slide up his torso.
It's fight or flight, and... well...
"I'm not running from this anymore," she whispers gently against his mouth, breath becoming shallower still until it catches in her chest. She moves in quick, desperately, to capture his lips with hers, to know what it feels like, what he tastes like.
