YOUR PRAYERS ARE POISON
your pleasure is pain
So it had come down to this . To a bubbling fear that coursed in his veins with the thrum of anxiety , the looming immortality that threaded into his very bones . He didn't want this , and yet here he was again . Immortal . Cursed to live the lifetimes that he thought had shaken away from him at last , only for them to drop back onto his shoulders again . He loathes it , and somewhat fears it . Would he lose Elain now , too ? As he had lost everyone else ? As he had watched all of it burn away ?
He draws in a breath , and forces it out through his lips again , shaking his head a little before he lowers it , gently nosing in against the pale kirin's neck instead , closing all of his eyes as he focuses on her instead . On this moment . Now isn't the time to worry about the far future . The near future , maybe .
" You aren't scared ? " He won't hurt her , and he knows he won't . But he still wants to make sure she's okay with this , and it shows in the intricate way his wings touch her , gently pressing against her sides , wrapping around her , around both of them . He runs his muzzle with a gentleness against her neck , touching steely scales with tender lips , and exhaling slowly .
Ears flick back , and he feels his heavy tail lift , curling toward her , resting against her legs , a gentle tap . Another exhale , and the worries of his immortality melt away as his tongue loosens . As his world narrows down to just her . He doesn't have to fear what happens , not right now . It's all just ... them . Only them .
" I love you . " A murmur , soft and sweet , against her ears as he presses in close , letting her be aware of every inch of his entire frame . All encompassing . Protective . Possessive . Loving .
