ashes

“raven.” brown eyes had been settled on her for close to an hour now; raven sat watching through the window of the valley home as the winds pushed through, stirring smoke that weighed heavily just outside. in this space...they were safe from breathing it in, maybe raven didn’t know that she was awake, maybe she knew. luna imagined she knew but even if she didn’t...she spoke as though sleep could never keep luna from hearing her. she was right about that.
luna moved herself from the bed where she was sitting, tiny reyes in her lap curled up in a little ball and chewing on her fingers, flexing claws against her hand. carefully she placed the tiny sofstepa aside and moved to raven now, sitting down on the bench of the window beside her, her eyes only on her face. “it wakes me.” she whispers, the admittance in her eyes, luna reached her hand to slide her fingers into raven’s and she laced them together. “thinking about that...is what wakes me, every night.” she shook her head lightly though, bringing raven’s hand in her own...to her lips so that she could press them to her palm. “we’re both right here.”
and right here was...right where she needed to be. all that they had been through, all raven had been through before her, all she had been through in her life, and then together; luna was here breathing because of her, and she kissed tenderly to the inside of her wrist, before luna met her eyes again and then leaned in closer to kiss raven’s lips.
