She said, “wake up,

Cuz you’re drowning again”

But I can’t right now

I’m ignoring my friends

If the air flees my lungs

Then I’ll breathe smoke instead

The stomach yawns empty

I’ll eat me till I’m fed

She said, “wake up—“

Like I’m drowning again

But I’m not right now

I’m just resting my head

If the sun will not rise

I’ll just sleep through the end

Take a ferry downstairs

Velvet is an assassin, a hitman, a mercenary. He doesn't know what love is. But he's saddled himself with his former target anyway, and now he has choices to make that he’s impossibly unprepared for.

“I’m leaving.” 

It comes out like an apology. 

“On a job. I’ll be back soon.”

I hope. 

“Okay,” Ant says, voice muzzy with sleep. “Stay safe?”

“I will,” Velvet tells him. He won’t.

Velvet is just a vampire looking for a meal; Ant is just the werecat that nearly kills him. They were never meant to be anything more than that. The politics and secrets of the supernatural world have other plans.

“Find someone else to drink,” the werecat snarls. “Nothing else tastes the same,” Velvet whispers wistfully, secretively. He takes another step closer, till he’s almost within reach of Ant’s claws. The werecat’s eyes track his face, wide and blue. He’s looking at Velvet’s mouth more than anything. Is he thinking about the kiss, or the fangs that lie behind his lips? “Nothing,” Velvet repeats softly, savoring the way Ant leans forward to hear him, “tastes like you do.”
