They moved with an urgency that said the world was ending (which for Cassian, felt more and more like the truth). It was as if they knew, even then, that nothing could stop them from this path to perdition. The pair descended on each other like snakes on prey, with every intention to consume the other whole. Fingers tangled impatiently into each others’ hair, sweat slicked their chests, legs kicked away all the bedlinens, teeth dug into supple skin (only where a strategically placed cravat could hide). He could have never fathomed this…
When he came to, the blonde found that he’d veritably blacked out for a good stretch of what transpired, which has been known to happen to him before. When the world overburdened him, and circumstances were too much to bear, and conflict or grief felt too sharp to survive. Details were hazy, and realization would only seep back into his memory over the next few days. For now it really felt as though he’d died, though it was likelier exhaustion that left him sprawled on his back. Despite the blackout, he still completely felt everything (one could argue that in the end, that’s all that matters).
Their labored breathing subsided soon enough, in timing with the sunset drawing darkness over the room. When Vincent tucked into his neck and shoulder, for that single instant Cassian felt a thrum of calm in his heart. The blonde turned to his side to face Vince, though his eyes were already closed as his arms reached forward and pulled him close. Laying in this sweet embrace, Cassian’s world grew dim until he slipped into a dreamless sleep.
