Work Text:
I awoke one night with a start, falling from the window again and landing upon the street below
This time, poor Pentious doesn't stir
He's so exhausted from being there, awake, ready to keep me grounded in such times that he remains out cold and unaware
I deal with this moment on my own for a change
I don't dare awaken him
Instead, I look at HIM, at the serpentine Sinner I'd go through all this again for and focus my attention upon him alone
I feel my heart rate slow, my breath catches up with me
I hold fast to my anchor, my world, and smile gently upon him
For the first time in ages it feels, I keep myself in the present and rest my head back upon his slowly breathing chest
His heartbeat is calm, his breathing is soothing
He'd be upset if he knew I hadn't woken him but proud that I'd succeeded in coming back to him~
Its because of him I've managed it tonight, and it was because of him that I'd do it again and again~
