You are missing from me…

like! people always reference pride & prejudice as the archetypal “normal girl falls for mysterious brooding antihero” story but they overlook the part where lizzy drags darcy so fucking hard he leaves town and then apologizes for talking to her the next time they meet even though they’re at his literal house

"my heart is with you, hiding." versus comes to claim it frequently, temporarily, then leaves it in balthier's care each time.

   PIRATES OWN NOTHING. Not truly. Everything that is gained was once a belonging of another; the silken garments that paint him in confidence, the slight curve of his lips that hearkens to him sympathy, the gold upon his ears && the silver in his eyes... none of these does he lay claim to. They are all stolen things, things lost && found, things that built up the fearless image. Picked up from people and worlds surrounding, pieced together like a puzzle, like a tower of Jenga, waiting to fall into place---waiting to form Balthier.

   That name too, stolen.

   If he owns nothing, then he can never lose anything. 

   How should he put this then? That the last thing that Ffamran Balthier Bunansa could still lay claim to (be still, dear beating heart, be still && care not) he has willingly given away?

   “I give my love to you,” he replies, upon the high of Versus’ pale cheekbones, “Ungemmed, unhidden, wishing not to hurt,”

   He cannot resist. A pirate’s downfall, the siren’s song. && he cannot help but listen, to the words upon his pale lips, red only by choice, bruised only by distracting kisses. He cannot help but listen to the words, the poetry that he had once read to this easily flustered captivation that now so seamlessly captivates him. He cannot help but want, want to taste the curling tongue that says ‘I love you’ so quietly, gently upon his sun-kissed skin. He cannot help but want to make him smile.

   He cannot help but want to love. That heart, stolen.

reminder that rp isn’t an obligation. take your time. be selective and private if you want to be. breathe. take it one day at a time, one draft at a time. roleplaying isn’t a race. your threads will still be there when you’re ready.
