Smitten Like a Kitten
Closed starter for @trashyxocs
Chaeyoung was sundresses and smiles, giggles and ice cream, happiness and love. She was knee high socks, lollipops, and sugar drops. She was the embodiment of darling, the definition of innocence, the icing on top of the cake of naïvety.
Vit was brooding and darkness, bared teeth and blades, snarls and blood. He was leather jackets, cigarette packets, and noisy rackets. He was the embodiment of despair, the definition of indurate, the icing on top of the cake of nefarious.
Chaeyoung had never met someone quite like Vit before in her life. He was nectarous, addicting, he made everything in her feel alive. Every time he was next to her she felt invincible, invulnerable, made of steel. She loved the way he made her heart race, the way he made her soul smile, the way she felt bound to him, irrevocably.
She adored the contrast between the two of them. She had the sweetness in her walk, the snapdragons in her hair, the salvific tone of her voice. Then him. Him. He had the scantness in his walk, the smoke in his hair, the saccharine deep of his voice. He had what she didn’t, and she clung to that more than she’d ever clung to anything in her entire life. Vit was her world, her soul, her heart. Her blood ran through her but pulsed his name with every heartbeat. Her bones quaked just thinking his name when she was alone. Everything she was, she gave to him.
Clung to his arm, she drug him down the busy sidewalk, daylight streaming down on her copper hair. Blue eyeshadow adorned her lids, pink lipstick painting her mouth. Her sundress rang out the clear corals of pinks and apricots, tiny hydrangea adorning it from belted waist on down. Blues and purples and pinks mixed in with the corals, small flowers seeming to leap off of her dress. Her sandals white, unstained, making small thumps on the sidewalk as she moved. She seemed to float wherever she went.
“V, look. Look at the little sparrow sitting on the tree branch.” The fingers not around his bicep pointed through the air at the tiniest speck of a bird. The mellifluous tone in her voice could sing to any bird, call to any animal, but it graced Vit’s ears above all. She only saw him. “Can I get a bird like that someday? Oh, I know. I want a canary, V. Can I have a canary?” She turned to him, only awaiting the reaction from him, oblivious to the glances from all the passerby on the street. Unaware that she was breaking every image the public had of him down into pieces. Uncaring. The only image of him she needed was the one she had in front of her now.
