yang takes both of blake's hands into her human one ( the metal limb is detached for the night, for the comfort of sleep ), squeezes them tight. as the firecracker raises them to her lips, a small kiss is planted on each individual knuckle like a seed, waiting for them to blossom into their long - lost love. amethyst hues blink up to multi - colored orbs ( they soak in the moonlight so beautifully ) from blake's hands. "'s been a long time since we've slept in the same room, huh?"
the tale of icarus : he who flew too close to the sun &. as a result , found himself BURNING up into naught more but ash to the wind for his greedy desires , though in this moment , rather than a pile of befallen cremains , rather than writing in pain , blake finds utmost solace &. divine warmth within the ray’s of girl sun. her touch , her face , the way yang smiles so sickly sweet into these accursed eyes of blue &. amber .. the very definition of ‘ home ‘. like a dream belladonna she never wishes to awake from for the rest of her days. gone are the days of her fear - ridden past ! a girl who , would once shy from affection &. run from xiao long’s touch , now embraces every ounce of love dripping from her beloved partner’s gesture. with every bit of her thorn guarded heart. ❛ yeah .. ❜ unlike her name sake , timbre is FAR from toxic &. death inducing , but rather silken &. sweet much like milk &. honey. her thumb wriggles from yang’s hold , only to brush ‘gainst a single knuckle ‘fore she scoots closer into comfort incarnate. ah , how blake’s MISSED these nights so .. before she’d often gaze up at the stars &. reminisce on past days in hopes that , yang too , was doing the same. ( though , truthfully , she - umbra certainly didn’t deserve such kindness. ) BUT NOW THEY’RE HERE ! together once more in orbit , sun &. moon where they truly belong. in each other’s company. in each other’s love for days &. days to come. a flourish of softened pink blankets freckled cheeks. dual - toned gaze stares deeply into twin heliotropes &. , without warning , blake draws closer &. plants a kiss straight to those banana - kissed lips she’s come to know &. love. ❛ i think we should stay like this .. don’t you ? just us. ❜
