winnowing fan by drowninglovers
In all his fantasies of survival, of actually being alive, he’s still alone. His dreams may be dreams, but they’ve got to have some semblance of reality to ensure they’re at least a little bit achievable.
Is this what it is to be known? In the hollows of Edward’s heart, amidst the valves and chambers, is a spot untouched. Like a mirage on the ice, or a tree atop a barren hill. That spot has just been struck with lightning, scorching through him, burning down the rungs of his spine. It’s not desire, per se, and he wouldn’t deign to call it love, but the word ‘want’ seems to fit that space just perfectly. Yearning for someone to understand him in all his eccentricities and inadequacies. Yearning he believes has just been met as though it was no effort at all.
He crushes Thomas in his arms, not caring about the creak of both their bones and spins him around with the air. The momentum should have been enough to knock him off balance, but he holds on. He’s got a strong anchor. Thomas’s feet are still a few inches off the ground when Edward leans forward and presses their mouths together.
