━━━━━━━  a shiver, crawling down his spine as lovingly as a caress.  (  when had he forgotten the cold? he had always belonged to the chill, but now he had seemed to forget its bite.  )  calloused fingers find their way across the muscles tensed at his stomach, relaxing immediately when he finds himself reaching towards the touch. careful palms sliding over the swell of chest to rest at the nook beneath the line of his jaw. through his thumbs he feels poe’s heart beat mingle with his own. a cacophony of hastening blood, warmed only by their proximity to each other. lips press themselves to the corner of his mouth, inhaling the scent of his skin.   (  it’d been a heavenly infusion of engine oil  &  his aftershave. remembering the first time he’d run the tips of his fingers along his freshly shaven jaw.  )    ❛   ━━━━━━━  YOU’VE GOTTA WARN A MAN BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO GIVE HIM AFFECTION.   ❜    brilliant teeth escape between his lips, smiles meant for the apotheosis of who lingered encircled in his arms.

❛   ━━━━━━  YOU DEFINITELY NEED MORE SLEEP.  ❜  celestial dreams hid behind his eyelids, he watched them take flight as a pilot often did. when the skies served their purpose  &  poe dameron wrote his name in the happy stars. the traitor’s fingers were worn  &  angry from discipline inflicted on the blind. (  he’d been the blind. groping for asylum in the darkness.  )  they seem disjointed as he runs them through his lovely hair, damp from sweat. exhaustion happily embracing him in its tender arms. how quickly he’d grown a lovely affection for the pilot. it sat right in his chest  &  it’d been impossible to be rid of. though the idea of it ever disappearing left him with a sudden terror.  ❛   even if you just happen to fall asleep on me. i guess . . . i’ll always be here for you.  ❜   the confession is only dared spoken while he quietly slept, embarrassment would color his cheeks if it were heard aloud. his thumb brushing against the curve of his ear, finding its way to the nape of his neck. he’d been so lovely as he slept.
