Valentines Day Cheese Tag
I was tagged by @gortashsrighthand for this cutesy lil post for V-Day!
Share the most cheesily romantic line you've ever written, or the most over-the-top VP you've done, or anything that suits your fancy (as long as it's earnestly and unabashedly cornball).
Now I am not a corny writer whatsoever, but I think I might have SOMETHING in the vault that counts... hopefully. I wrote a Halsin one-shot in the summer of 2025 and it might be the only "cheesy" thing in my folder T_T Without further ado, an excerpt from "This Bear of Mine"
“Up late again, my heart?” Halsin’s voice rumbled low against her ear, carrying the calm weight of earth, of rivers, and of ancient trees.
She turned slowly in his embrace, his arms loosening just enough to let her move before closing around her again, stronger this time. Her own arms slid around his broad frame, fingers curling against the thin fabric of his nightshirt. Laying her head against his chest, she listened. His heartbeat, a deep, steady rhythm that reminded her of the music of her home.
“I couldn’t sleep,” she murmured, her voice soft, almost carried away by the night breeze. “The stars were too beautiful to ignore tonight. And…” She tilted her head just enough to glance into his soft hazel eyes. Her gray eyes shining in the starlight. “I missed you.”
His arms tightened around her, as if to shield her from every stray worry that dared linger in her thoughts. He bent his head, pressing a kiss to the crown of her hair, lingering there as he breathed her in.
“You need not lose rest to the night, Sienna,” he said softly, the words rumbling against her ear like thunder in the distance. “I am here now. Whatever stirs your heart, let it be eased. You are safe. Always.”
His hand rose to cradle the back of her head, his thumb brushing through her curls with infinite care. “No shadow, no storm will ever reach you while I draw breath."
Did this fit the prompt?? Who knows... but tags to @dapperpossum @echoechowhiskey @saylofwaterdeep and @akelan
