♛ a surprise smile left frostbite at cassandra’s words. her eyes SOFTENED just barely as the ice inclined capellan PRESSED HER NOSE against the fire inclined’s cheek, soaking up the heat quietly.
fireinclined-archive: ‘ i want to dance with you while you sing all your favorite songs, looking lovingly into my eyes & meaning every beautiful lyric you sing to me. ’
♛ ❝ cassandra that’s literally super gay, ❞ she laughed, smiling as she pressed her head against the others while on the tips of her toes ——- && even THAT was pushing her ability.
fireinclined-archive: ‘ tell me about the things you’re passionate about. tell me every detail about your favorite things. i don’t care if it takes all day, i love you & i love to hear you be happy & excited about things. ’
♛ ❝ i don’t really have many passions, snowball. all i was really good at was .. hunting && bringing about pain to others since it was all i was really TAUGHT TO INFLICT && be cold with myself .. ❞ she mumbled, fingers gripping each other as she doesn’t look to the other.
it was .. UNCOMFORTABLE to talk about.
❝ but .. you make me passionate. you make me HAPPY .. like something inside is fluttering every other moment && making me have another purpose finally. be useful in some other way —— even if its making SNOWMEN FOR KIDS. ❞
hellion was woken up by frostbite’s cold touch as the ice inclined woman snuggled up to her. this threw hellion for a loop- frostbite was never this affectionate, ever.
still…hellion wrapped her arms around her just the same, and pressed a kiss to the top of frostbite’s head.
“trouble sleeping?”
♛ frostbite didn’t respond immediately, a small grunt leaving her first as she shifted closer against hellion after the kiss, breathing out some as her shoulders moved in a shrug fashion. though it was mostly lazy.
♛ ❝ that was BEFORE i found out the truth, cassandra. i made a PROMISE to my father, which i’ve told you. you knew what was going on, what you did && you didn’t TELL ME .. this could have ended differently if you simply told me straight up. but you left it, the relationship we have is founded on LIES. ❞
cassandra’s situation was both like and unlike viviandra’s. viviandra would never know how it felt to be born with the suffix -ndra, to be BORN unwanted. but both cassandra and viviandra had made a choice that led to their current name situation…
cassandra had chosen to give up her name, feeling she had no right to call herself cassalyn after the destruction of capella. and viviandra had chosen to save cassandra, and had been stripped of her family suffix as a result.
cassandra walked around the table to stand in front of viviandra, and gently brought a hand up to cup her ice cold cheek, warmth seeping out of the fire inclined capellan and into the ice inclined capellan.
“thank you, viviandra,” cassandra said with such kindness, such love. she would only say her name with love, to soften the blow of her new name.
♛ viviandra watched as cassandra walked around the table, unable to hide the soft caution behind them ; they would stay there for months to years, it was a hard habit to crack sometimes.
having chased her now darling for so long && holding hate when now she held nothing but love was almost odd sometimes but it reminded her she was CAPABLE of change. everyone was.
with the warm touch, icy eyes closed, leaning into the touch with a soft sigh, a gentle puff of frost leaving her lips, chilling them. ❝ you’re welcome, cassandra. you .. mean so much to me. unlike i’ve felt for anyone in a long while. ❞
♛ ❝
would i do what i did again ——– keep you safe from him && make the decision i did again ?? ❞ she muttered, having halted in her actions for a moment, clenching her fist on && off for a moment as she pondered. after a second or two the POLAR CAPELLEN looked back to cassandra.
❝ yes. my LOYALTIES ended up sitting with you. you .. gave me WARMTH unlike anyone else has in the last few years. i REGRET how it ended with my father but i would do it all over. for you. ❞ viviandra uttered.
she wasn’t going to let the person who was most KIND TO HER when she deserved less die by her hands —— OR her fathers
