Freefall

Summary:

With nowhere to go, they share a dance, exchange a glance, and maybe even a touch

In the moment, nothing else matters. Not where, not when, not how.

All that matters is that they share it.

Notes:

This was written when I was suffering from something I call “near-fatal levels of forced social interaction” that made me decidedly unstable and somewhat unhinged.

Up until a few days ago, this thing had been sitting under about three months worth of digital dust, until I made the abrupt decision to revise and post it.

I don’t know if anyone will ever find this, but on the off chance that someone finds it and does/doesn’t like it, please do drop a comment or review, tell me if it’s good or if you think it would be better to be forever slightly too hot as in “sweating and uncomfortable but not enough that anybody actually notices my discomfort”.

The songs I listened to when writing this are:
Translight by Breakbot
Little L by Jamiroquai

Work Text:

Falling, but no wind whipping at her face. No tempest howling in her ears.

Falling, and yet there is no sky. There is no ground. Nowhere to go.

She feels a hand take hers, glancing up. He is floating there. He is falling too. Isn’t he scared?

She wonders. He smiles at her, and a bubbly warmth takes root in her chest, and she resists the urge to turn away from him as the blush creeps up her face. He lets go, and pushes off from her, sending them both slowly spinning in opposite directions.

He pushes off of the wall, once more gliding towards her. She bumps against a wall, and pushes off towards him. Sailing to the center.

Looking up towards him, she drinks in the sight of his face, haloed in the softened light of the sun. A smile curls the corners of her mouth upwards.

Both reaching outwards.

Their hands touch, and he pulls them together, spinning. He sees her smile, and his mind stops. Struck dumb by her beauty. Unsure of all but a single thing.

He was falling in love.

He just hoped that she loved him too.

And by god, does he hope he knows how to.
