The twins had been so caught up in themselves. So selfish! That they hadn’t forgotten her but they hadn’t asked her to come with either one of them, or be the glue that held them altogether. It seems at once both merciful and cruel that they hadn’t and shame hangs heavy on their hearts, even shows in their faces as a look passed between them.
Naturally they had outlasted friends and lovers alike.
Except for her. She remained. Bright and strong in their minds. A beacon of friendship (sometimes, more) and faith that burned and brought them home to her. Hasn’t it always been like this? She comes, and they follow after. Drawn to whatever it is that animates her and makes her so strong and everlasting.
But she has more scars than either of them do.
Even has a burn-mark as if her fire has turned on her.
They share another look between them.
Twin sets of eyes catch the flame that ignites on her skin and their faces break into easy familiar smiles. It’s the sort of fire that engulfs but doesn’t burn them, leaping across their skins to one another. Her lips blaze trails across them and their lips do the same to her, sometimes nipping tenderly here and there as they familiarize themselves with every inch of her all over again.
“We’ve missed you too.” they say as one, something in their hearts settling that had always been rattling around. Spark is the first to murmur an apology and Spear’s follows wordlessly as his mouth moves over Lilitha’s flaming neck.
