#they........

one of these for sure, @roseypeached

it makes her pause. she knows the way he feels about her but anytime there's acknowledgment on his end it leaves her breathless. even with her constant baiting for him to just do something about it. she doesn't say or do anything for a moment because she feels like if she moves it will run him off and they'll be right back where they started. so she stays completely still where she is. but she's always had more trouble controlling her mouth. " then why don't you do something about it, elijah ? "

god i forgot about this dialogue i love when they are not normal

it's like a dream. being here with him again after so long. it feels like what he'd presume floating on a cloud is like. so lovely, yet unsteady. calloused palms hold mason's cheeks with a tenderness he wasn't aware he possessed, thumbs swiping along cheekbones as though memorizing his entire face. he feels out of breath just from this interaction alone. he can recall many a night when sleep actually came to him, seeing this exact face within his dreams, it's comforting knowing he wasn't alone in this desire. leaning forward, their noses bump, a gentle affection he felt he may never be able to claim again. if he could lay the groundworks of his home within the interior of a person, the innards of the other man's heart would be all his.
