Awaken
Deviancy, the burning flame.
You, the blasting fuse.
Everything started so subtly, like a small fire dancing on a slender candle. Connor tried hard to blow it off, but every time you came to his mind, the fire aggressively grew. Then, it spread from his heart, across his whole body, to his fingertips. The ones that touched yours. He gave in. There was a moment of fear as the other side of him, the side that him thought he’d never have, started to unfold uncontrollably. It was an urge, to be alive and loved, that he could not prevent. Thus, he let that happen, he let it burn.
Amazed, he watched the fire light up his whole system, burn down the scarlet wall of instructions, and pump energy into his biocomponents. Opening his arms, Connor felt the rigidity of a machine melting, dropping down with the rain. He felt alive, so alive, as all the human emotions that he did not understand suddenly became crystal clear, and unbelievably intense.
Love was the strongest among all, a mix of uncertainty and excitement that gave his artificial heart a reason to beat. The idea of holding you close, kissing your lips and making you his almost drove Connor crazy as he realised that he could never get that out of his head.
Did you feel the same?
