Nemesis Heart - R2

[The first time you try to open your eyes, there is nothing but red.]




[Questions bubble up, voiceless:

What will you keep?

What will you change?

What will you do?]





[And then your eyes open.]

[It is soothing, thick and warm and sweet. He can almost taste it, every time he breathes in]

[He gathers it nearer and sends more out her way in reply, an endless feedback loop that laps at the edges of both of them, dizzyingly good, achingly welcome]

[And if perhaps his eyes drift closed, tucked in there against her, surely that can be forgiven]

[What is there to forgive? What better place to rest than here, surrounded by love and trust and belonging? There's no way even the worst of nightmares could survive here; not with the two of them together. What better honor than to be that source of safety?

She only sighs and tangles in closer, head to head and heart to heart. And even as they relax into each other, the warmth of their joined hands does not fade, and the song of love plays on.]

[He curls in closer against her, lulled by the warmth of her - by the intimacy - by a background melody with ringing notes that shimmer out to fill the whole of the world]

[He does not open his eyes again - because it's true, after all. Here, at least, no nightmares can reach them. Here the force of them combined is stronger than anything that might dare to stand against them]

[He tucks in against her, there in the center of her heart - reaches his arms out, to draw her closer still. He doesn't end the bond between them, even as he begins to drift, and she can feel the way everything becomes wavery and peaceful, soft around the edges with the onset of sleep]

[At length, he murmurs something, soft, into the skin of her collar bone, too indisinct to make out]

[Probably she doesn't need the words, though]

[Prrobably, she already knows]
