✦ - Rolling up their sleeves to keep cool, showing off their forearms.
MUFFLED words dissolve into tension that outlines her collarbone; she’s not a mystery to be solved— a missing piece of a puzzle, a cryptic essence of a girl lost in the dusty pages of a book. she has humanity leaking through her pores, transparent as crystal— shattered & fragile. her frail body FLINCHES every time he moves an inch— manipulated by anticipation & dread.
❛ holy— ssh… sorry… i just… wow! ❜
she BITES DOWN the curse before it taints the soft edges of cold, chaste lips. hands buried in the depths of her pockets clutch to warmth, DOE EYES widen in sheer incredulity & awe. ( H A H A H A H A ) black ink decorates his paper-skin, it covers a large portion of flesh, so much her curious gaze can’t help but get lost in the pathways of his arm.
❛ are… —are those real? ❜
❦ - Changing clothes facing away, showing off their back.
the TURMOIL unfolding within is measured by the seconds of dead silence between labored breaths. the rise & fall of her chest, rhythmic & soothing like the decomposition of compassion’s roots, wrapped so tightly around cold bones it feels a lot like a CAGE. butterfly lashes scrape shallow cheekbones, high on reddened skin, lips full part to exhale & puffs of air fog her already blurred view, honeyed gaze gravitating anywhere but towards him.
presence faint as a dead man’s whisper, the lemongrass incense of her hair lingers like TOXINS in the air; she’s got rose petals in her mouth, but keeps them SEWN shut. she pins it all on curiosity, the silent murderer of innocence. after all, the MALE anatomy was but a foreign concept to her & so ignoring caution tales from childhood, she peeks. it’s mesmerizing. he’s MASCULINE in his physique, possessing a twisted kind of magnetism; like the destructive beauty of a forest fire— UNPREDICTABLE & consuming.
