“will you be my valentine?” -- @batvvmn

            she  pauses  only  for  a  moment  ,  hands  lifting  to  shrug  as  if  confused  ,  "  what  ,  no  shower  of  rose  petals  ?  no  jumping  out  a  giant  red  velvet  cake  ?  we  gotta  work  on  our  showwomanship  ,  babe  .  presentation  is  everything  .  "  slow  to  rise  smile  breaks  character  ,  hand  reaching  to  cup  chin  affectionately  ,  pulling  in  for  a  sweet  kiss  . 

            "  but  because  i  love  you  i'll  excuse  no  outer  pizzazz  .  you're  lucky  you're  all  the  spark  i  need  . so  yes  ,  i'll  be  your  valentine  .  "

“ a sky full of stars, and i’m staring at you. “  --  @batvvmn​

                    "  --  then  there's  orion  &  his  belt  ,  taurus  .  we'll  have  to  do  this  again  in  october  it's  not  really  the  ideal  time  to  catch  aquarius  just  yet  .  we  actually  show  up  around  the  same  time  of  year  .  "  gaze  never  breaking  from  inky  skies  ,  as  if  by  pure   instinct  ,  thorn's  hand  reaches  for  kate's  ,  fingers  laced  to  bring  backhand  to  lips  for  a  tender  kiss  .

                    she'll  give  it  to  kate  ;  thorn was  only  partly  kidding  when  she  said  she  wanted  to  spend  a  night  out  .  between  both  of  their  respective  duties  their  hours  after  sun's  set  were  consumed  much  of  the  time  ,  but  despite  her  tremble  at  the  winter's  air  ,  kate  took  it   like  a  true  soldier  ...  on  the  condition  thorn  was  willing  to  be  her  personal  space  heater  ,  but  she  hadn't  minded  in  the  least  .  

                    "  you  know  ,  i  guess  i  got  to  thinking  about  it  on  a  night  a  lot  like  this  ...  when  i  was  nude  moon  bathing  in  cali  .  "  an  insignificant  detail  however  that  cheeky  smirk  said  it  was  only  added  to  gain  a  reaction  .  inching  closer  ,  her  free  hand  circles  around  kate's  hips  to  share  her  inner  warmth  ,  "  i  think  stargazing  always  gets  my  head  wondering  .  what  do  you  think  of  a  do  -  over  ?  our  wedding  ,  i  mean  .  seeing  how  neither  of  us  remember  much  ...  i  think  it'd  be  a  disservice  to  not  have  something  to  go  back  on  .  "  

                  finally  taking  eyes  off  the  shimmering  stars  ,  thorn  looked  to  see  that  same  twinkle  reflected  in  emerald  eyes  ,  already  looking  to  her  with  endearment  .  pressing  fingers  over  mouth  ,  she  returned  a  sheepish  smile  ,  "  sorry  ,  am  i  rambling  again  ?  go  ahead  .  "

“This was you?”  --  @batvvmn​

                    "  wha  --  let  me  see  .  "  damn  it  ,  she  asked  her  dad  to  help  pack  her  things  &  send  them  over  to  their  new  place  .  things  like  the  crystals  she  didn't  carry  or  her  &  her  favorite  bats  &  roses  bedsheets  .  not  the  uncomfortable  memories  of  what  she  deemed  '  the  silent  era  .  '  fortunately  or  not  ,  it  was  a  bit  wishy  washy  ,  it  looked  like  a  few  years  before  she  went  painfully  timid  . 

                    "  righttt  .  "  plucking  photo  from  kate's  fingers  she  took  a  closer  look  .  watery  eyes  ,  holding  onto  her  mother  for  dear  life  ,  her  round  cheeks  flushed  &  wet  with  tears  that  left  marks  on  her  onesie  .  all  while  a  sparking  television  sat  collapsed  on  the  floor  in  it's  screen's  shattered  remains  .  yeah  ,  that's  her  alright ,  "  mhm  .  i  was  ,  age  ...  five  ,  maybe  six  ?  i  barely  remember  this  but  from  what  daddy  told  me  i  was  wicked  mad  about  something  ...  i  think  because  a  cartoon  stray  kitten  wasn't  being  picked  ?   my  powers  weren't  really  in  control  &  i  had  a  nasty  habit  of  breaking  things  .  he  took  a  picture  for  the  insurance  company  .  "  biting  the  corner  of  lower  lip  to  suppress  a  smile  she  hands  it  back  ,  "  in  total  fairness  i  bought  them  a  better  one  a  few  years  later  .  "

                        perhaps  it  was  a  distraction  ,  a  carefully  thought  tactic  thorn  has  stepped  into  to  cease  fire  ;  she  didn't  much  care  .  that  was  an  intended  purpose  of  mistletoe  ,  wasn't  it  ?  reconciling  war  to  bring  peace  ...  &  their  snowball  fight  had  been  going  on  for  the  better  half  of  an  hour  now  .  dropping  handful  of  snow  thorn  giggles  into  pressed  lips  ,  the  feel  of  kate's  frost  touch  skin  a  clue  on  why  she'd  call  for  a  halt  .  arms  circling  over  shoulders  thorn gently  guided  her  closer  to  curvy  frame  that  was  no  doubt  a  bask  in  the  steamy  summer  sun  compared  to  what  felt  like  a  frigid  tundra  around  them  .  "  alright  ,  soldier  ,  you've  served  yours  .  peace  ,  love  ,  &  all  that  .  "   adjusting  strands  of  vibrant  hair  ,  with  half  smirk  she  eyed  in  through  the  door  frame  ,  then  drifted  to  back  at  hanging  mistletoe  just  over  head  ,  "  no  more  snow  ,  we're  stopping  right  ...  --  "  thwap  !!  the  soft  blow  she  heard  just  barely  behind  kate  ,  cueing  her  impish  giggle  .  that's  the  thing  about  magick  ;  all  you  really  had  to  do  was  want  it  enough  &  it's  yours  .  &  what  she  really  wanted  at  the  moment  was  one  of  the  piled  snowballs  around  her  home  to  strike  kate  perfectly  at  her  rear  .
