YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE

*Jupiter I* · 01-27-2015, 04:55 PM

Through the cold, there is a warmth.

Phantom eyelids flutter, crumpled and twitching against the upper of her bleeding, swollen hollows, muscle memory cruel as it seeks to reveal what is no longer there. Head raises. Mercury stands away, quiet--an intruder as Medusa faithfully answers the call.

Jupiter leans into that touch with a soft, slow sigh, immediately pressing her cheek against the other's neck, burying herself in the other woman's fur like a babe searching for the comfort of maternity. But theirs is a love vastly different--as pure as nature could craft, as endless as time, more strong than anything else on these lands. Stronger than the mountains, than the trees, than the ivory that had taken her eyes, than the omniscient beings that ruled over their fate. None of it mattered in the face of their love. They were all insignificant; they always had been, always would be, ugly in the face of something so perfect in nature and in character.

"Medusa?" voice cracks from lack of speech during her trek, from lack of water to sate the thirst plaguing her lips. It is not an honest inquiry in any sense--she has known the woman's presence from the moment her serpent stepped upon Ludicael soil, roots sending signals to the attuned creature that her love was near. She knows that presence better than the back of her paw but she merely needs an excuse to say that name, to feel it on her lips one last time. A dark chuckle bubbles forth on black, bleeding lips.

"I blame my age," she croaks with a dry, weak humor, voice faint. What else can she say? For a moment, she fails to take a breath. Death knocks on her door. She tells it to wait. Just a few moments, wait. And so she breathes, her life secured for this once.
