[private] tell your baby that i'm your baby

but you’d never get hit without earning it
and i only hit you first ‘cuz i deserved my own hit too
still it comes the time to call you out
since i’m the one that you should be about

 Kensa has always been his destiny. The lovers are magnets: no matter what god’s hands drag them apart, they always come crashing back into each other. Sometimes they clash so hard there are lightning strikes, electricity, sizzling and burning of flesh they do not feel between the love they have.

Litotes feels tears prick at his eyes when she curls into him. For once, they are not crumbling into each other, some tension tainting what carefree love they had before. His wife holds him, gentle and loving, and in this universe they are stripped of everything they have become since their first meeting in the lake. They are young, naive, broken but hopeful. The Archon sighs into her warm skin, releasing the wrongness he felt on his trip here.

The smile he that curls into her neck is sweet and sad when Kensa repeats such bold words from their first meeting. What innocence they possessed then must have washed away in the water. A longing to rush into the cool water with his wife consumes his mind. Perhaps they can regain a bit of their freedom by diving headlong into the water that once held them steadfast. Nostalgia and regret grow sharp in his chest as he remembers how once this Hyaline was his Hyaline; now, he can hardly step across the border without a bitter and bloody taste in his mouth.

“I’m just thinking of you, and our children . . .” he murmurs into her mane, then nips at her neck and pulls away. Lie’s golden eyes flit to the trees beyond, to the spots where their flock takes shelter. A hesitant smile curves one side of his maw, and he trots a playful circle around his wife, nipping at his hindquarters before bucking and rushing headlong down their well-worn path.

“To the lake, my dear!” he calls with a toss of his head backward, glittering eyes taunting.
