This moment. . . Having been deprived of him for the gods know how long, an immediate war unfolded right there. My tongue nearly loosened and begged him to stay. My heart underwent cardiac arrest (or a form of it at least). And my mind, my mind processed a million thoughts.

Let’s stay in bed all day, 𝐣𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐧. Don’t leave just yet. Stay. . . Do not push me into becoming an annoying teenager who begs her boyfriend to stick around. Let’s watch a film and eat candy all day. That’s all I want when all I need is you, J.

Because it’s you, 𝐣𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐧.

Turns out, 𝑴𝑶𝑻𝑯, I too am drawn to flames.

We were fools. The burial site of our fears has festered and we missed it. Too lost in the single heartbeat given by the one heart, the evidence of wicked plots disintegrated into white smoke. And we burned. We burned well.

// Meet me there, 𝐣𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐧.

( Quietly seeking the warmth of 𝐣𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐧’ arms as I find him sprawled across the massive couch. ) You could have told me you were back. ( The quietness to my tone too revealing, his fingers are too eager to fondle the skin of my face. His features, an unreadable mask. )

"You were the one that I wasn't supposed to lose." // 𝐣𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐧

One of these nights, 𝐣𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐧.

We could’ve had it all, 𝐣𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐧.

( From the depths of the shadows camouflaging my presence, I watch 𝑏𝑜𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑎 getting ready for her friend’s wedding. Like a proper stalker. If only it wasn’t so complicated… )

Long stares, clandestine touches. Star-crossed since the beginning of time itself.

The only sorceress I am willing to lay my life down for.

( 𝐣𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐧 )

Upon midnight’s descent, the witch became bewitched while the hunter became the hunted. An unshakeable trap concocted by fate.

Unapologetically, 𝐣𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐧.
