(▰˘◡˘▰) for cassie and iris o3o
Send (▰˘◡˘▰) for a kiss drabble about our muses
:・゚ ❤️┇ Sometimes it feels like the world has gone to shit: realms and gods and elder gods — now titans. What’s next? Cassandra is exhausted — mission after mission, yet her head remains high as does her spirits, or so it seems. Her nights are short — drawn shorter sometimes by her lover’s groans and moans as nightmares overtake her psyche. Each time she wonders if she should wake Iris — and each time she does so anyway. Cassie figures, as long as she’s not walking around, waking her would not be a dangerous endeavor. Ever so careful her fingers draw across Iris’s shoulder, her thumb stroking along bare skin. Calls her name as a half whisper — ❝Iris, Iris, you’re dreaming — Iris….❞
The red head awakens with a start, eyes wild and wide, pickled eggs in the dark, mouth agape to catch what breath she can. Cassie too hops back a couple of inches, because that reaction is terrible, rather scary; Iris looks like she just died a horrible death for half a second too long — then she’s sitting up, her shoulders trembling with each rapid breath, looking everywhere and nowhere. And Cassie knows right there and then what that nightmare was all about: an old too familiar face joining her in sleep.
❝Iris?❞ The red head looks over her shoulder with that same frightened look, like she can’t get out of that dream — Cassie approaches, scoots closer. ❝Hey, hey…❞, she coos, then touches Iris’ burning cheek with her palm — leans in and finds her lips, offers kiss to bring her home, take her home. She remains like this, liplocked until Iris’ eyelids flutter shut and she feels the tension in her body relax. Pulls back but she does not go far — presses her forehead to Iris’s. ❝You’re with me. Just me.❞
