@illusersi ... ❛ with you by my side, i feel like i can do anything. ❜
what a romantic sentiment spun free from the lips of his other half : he isn’t sure if they had been programmed for love ( or if it were merely a side effect of constant exposure to the human experience -- they were natural mimics, after all ). they learned in slow tandem with the world around them, a sleepy youth masquerading as a full life. HOW MANY MORE TIMES WILL THEY REPEAT THIS LESSON? a first kiss spanning lifetimes, an endless reset where gravitation is the only option : ajak has not told him how many times he has fallen in love with sersi, but he cannot imagine a lifetime where his heart doesn’t call for hers. his hands find her cheeks, a gentle pinch to blur teasing with affection. ‘ this is the part where i ask you to never leave my side then, isn’t it? ’
