SILLA SAID: i’m begging for you to take my hand. / [ ACCEPTING. ] @allrevved
❝ uhm. . . alright, ❞ the words leave his mouth before he even realizes what he’s agreed to. vanveeteren’s head, quite frankly, is still fucking spinning from their collective visit to the eigth circle of hell courtesy of falco. he’s not in his right mind enough to be agreeing to much of anything, but because it’s goddesilla, he says alright almost immediately. in another trick of time, her fingers are deftly twining around his, her apparent strength pulling him across the deep end towards where ledoux is attempting to wrangle strat and raven into what some may call a rather premature celebration.
this is something he’s wanted for. . . forever, right? to dance with her, to have the fucking courage to let those closely - guarded inhibitions of his fall and just enjoy himself. the latter he’s never done without the influence of drugs, but the adrenaline rush of simply being alive after nearly having the soul shocked out of him is rivaling cocaine at the moment. vanveeteren allows goddesilla to have something he’s never offered up to anyone before: control. she takes the lead from the moment the music starts, and he watches her, ravishing the way her body moves along with the fact that her hand always finds a way back to his. the question that he expects to crop up ( WHY ME? ) doesn’t. instead, his focus falls on making sure he doesn’t step on her feet, on making sure he remembers all the words to the song they’re belting.
❝ - get a load of this guy, ❞ he says eventually. they’re on the ground, her leg slung across his, her breath on his neck. strat dances by, completely oblivious to the jeers van is slinging his way, far too in love to think about anything other than raven. when goddesilla laughs at his failure, he understands exactly where strat is coming from.
