my love is like a red, red rose [ao3], written by carmilluminati
└ two shops next to each other. one a florist, one a tattoo parlour. two people. one a bubbly ball of sunshine, the other a punk with a bad attitude. guess who runs which.
“Don’t get me wrong, okay? I love the stars. But part of their appeal is their distance, their objectivity. The stars don’t give a shit if you mess something up. They don’t care, they’re gonna keep on shining. I guess it’s nice to know that something out of all of this is eternal, you know? And imagining them as people just ruins that, because people will always let you down in the end.”
Laura sucked in a breath. That was the first time Carmilla had said so much in one go. It was the first time she’d seemed genuinely passionate about something. And it made her all the more beautiful.
“I dunno,” Laura said, completely ignoring the movie at this point, “there’s something comforting about having someone watching over you? Like the people you lost being immortalised or whatever?”
“I guess,” Carmilla relented, bringing her knees up to her chest. “I’d probably agree if I lost someone who I actually cared about.”
Laura had a slightly crazy thought, but before she could stop herself she was saying it. “Well, I’d mind if I lost you.”
