‘ when i am in the darkness , i want to think of it in the light , with you. ’
TID SENTENCES ⦙⦙ for @choosewar ! ACCEPTING.
it’s a sentence he’s never thought to hear from HER LIPS. despite the darkness that follows her and her family , it’s never something he sees in her. not even when she’s jumping on the back of demons , who may or may not be his father , or covered in ichor or her own blood. cecily herondale didn’t have much of it, and she certainly seems to keep 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒 at bay. perhaps that’s why he smiles . . . or maybe, it’s the meaning of her words. ❝ i can’t quite picture you in darkness, cecy. ❞ it doesn’t dawn on him to perhaps say it back. doesn’t she already know?
besides, he’s caught up in the startling night-blue eyes, on the way the 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐊 hair touches her shoulders. he wants to move closer , so he takes a step , but he also doesn’t get too close. ❝ although , i certainly do hope you think of me , at every instance. even in darkness. ❞ maybe she means it to be serious , but gabriel is half-grinning , finding it cute that she’d say it. even if he lacks the eloquence to give her a poetic , worthy reply. ❝ you’ve taken me out of my darkness , and i do 𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐋𝐘 plan on being in the light with you for as long as i possibly can. ❞
