Chapter Text
- Snapping and Flickering
My momma always told me to never play with fire.
“You'll get burned, mijo! Fire is dangerous!”
Dangerous? Ha, danger is all around us, momma, and what I do for a living, it's fucking life or death. Forget about being burned, scars are a sign that I lived another day, I escape death once again.
I'll play with fire all I want, momma.
You see, I'm water, I'm liquid. I'm everywhere, I'm in the air, the sea, in you and everyone else.
I can tame any sort of wildfire, I am the oasis in a dry desert. I am Lance McClain, I brave the fires that burns between me and Keith Kogane.
I am his lifeline.
I am his blue.
I am his verbal punching bag.
He is my fire.
His love keeps me warm.
When the ice is overtaking me, he thaws my still heart.
He is my sanity.
We are fire and water.
Our love is smoke.
It burns, and fills our lungs, it's hard to breathe.
Each time I put out his rage, their is a single flicker left in the ashes.
One wrong move, one wrong step, it ignites.
Momma, we are fire and water, our dance is deadly, but I can handle the burns.
It just means we are alive, and we escaped death one more time.
One more time.
One.
More.
Time.
Ignite.
