( the earthy smoke is exhaled right into michael’s lips . she can feel them meeting , if only for a mere millisecond , & the plum color of her lips has rubbed ever so slightly over the plush surface . her lips offer a fond smile , before thumbing at the stain . )
how was that ?
( he doesn’t mind, not when he gets to hear a sound so beautiful. he gets exactly where she’s going next. heart skips a beat, he takes a step in and bends close, lips hovering just above hers. )
( head is thrown back with the sound of her hearty laughter . )
you’ll survive , my superstar .
( & a hand lands right over hers , the glittering silver of the various accessories meeting her skin . )
pucker up , baby .
( a laugh like bells . )
sorry——here , let me show you .
( digits grab on the joint , the midnight blue lacquer glinting over her nails . she gives it a healthy inhale , before gesturing for michael to get closer . )
she sighs——in either defeat or exhaustion . another day , another fight . “ do i have to ? ” stupid question from a stupid girl . this was her decision , after all . a poor one , she’ll carry for all of eternity . she sits up , quick to grab her sequined shawl ( + )
he cautious in his steps towards the half vampire , crouching to softly shake her awake much like he does with laddie .
“ star … hey , wake up ... it’s feeding time . “
he’s not sure if she’s awake yet or not .
