Petty Jealousy — Pirate, Neia, Rafael & Vallen
Light sailed across the open sky like trails of salt in the current's wake. Sunlight seemed heavy, lazy, almost tangible, as if all it'd take was for you to reach out and grab it.

Hadrian kisses you with the slow, patient devotion of an oak tree reaching for the sunlight.

Lance fills his plate, as does Alessa. You step forward, about to serve yourself, but two hands reach for your bowl.
"Allow me."

Lance and Hadrian stop and look at each other. Then, as one, they look at you.

His whole body seals shut. Muscles tighten, jaw locks, and shoulders tense until a knife-like pressure sinks into his spine. Ebony eyes stare at you through long strands of black hair, his chin lowered, his face completely still. 2025-03-26 15:16:44 +0000 UTC View Post
