sorry not sorry // for [personal profile] intenderembassy

[ It's been ten days since she's seen any of the others, besides Black Mist itself. She'd needed to keep herself as relaxed as possible at first, it had told her, and who better to keep her relaxed than Black Mist? Especially when the need for the oil had gotten overwhelming, when Black Mist had started filling bottles with it every few hours when it visited her and she'd be finished with them all and desperate for more by the time it returned.

(it's started to ease off but she still seems to need more than she did before)

(of course you do, it had told her when she'd commented, had rubbed a slick tendril over her stomach and only chuckled when she'd dragged the tendril up to her mouth to suck at it)

As much as she hasn't minded the isolation though - how could she, when Black Mist is giving her things she wants so much? - she's glad, when it says that Chris can come see her.

(she's missed Chris, everything has moved so fast and she feels so different and she--)

(she wanted her sister)

So when Chris finally steps through the door of the room that Black Mist has kept her in, it's to her all but tackling Chris, pushing the door shut so that she can hold her in a tight hug.

(tight enough for her curves to be pressed in tight against Chris)

(a slight curve to her stomach isn't necessarily abnormal, recently, not with the way Black Mist likes to leave them full, but--)

(her breasts are larger, too, enough to have the shirt she's wearing stretched tight across them) ]

Nee-san!

[She doesn't know why she's been kept away from her sister. Black Mist hasn't told her, hasn't even been around to say anything, and the other two don't seem to know any more than she does.

(but Black Mist had been asking her things, lately)

(she prays that it was only a normal threat, the kind that would keep the most unruly pet in line)

(that Thomasine hasn't...)

She prays, too, that when Thomasine hugs her and her body feels different that it's nothing.

She hugs back, tightly, letting her eyes fall shut.]

You've been gone a long time, Thomasine. I've been worrying.
intenderembassy: (thomas what are you doing down there)

[Chris should be happy, shouldn't she? Happy for Thomasine. But she doesn't look it.

She looks like she's heard someone's died. She looks like someone just sucked the life out of her, the way her eyes go dead, the way she stares at Thomasine's stomach.

(it did it)

(it really did what it was threatening)

(and now Thomasine's happy.)

(that's almost the worst part, that Thomasine is happy now, that everything Chris has tried to do has done nothing but the minute its child is inside her...)

Her hand trembles on Thomasine's stomach.]

IV...

[personal profile] intenderembassy 2012-12-26 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[She lets Thomasine kiss her, tries to kiss back with anything close to the joy that Thomasine has.

("I can be your imouto again." god, does she want that)

(but if it's because of this, she)

(no, maybe she should try. try to give this to thomasine. try to let her be)

(let her be happy)]

I'm...I'm glad, Thomasine.

[She doesn't sound glad. Not with the way her voice breaks. Not with the way she's trying to smile through tears.

(she's sick and sad and angry and grieving)

(she doesn't know who she's grieving for)]
intenderembassy: (i'm tired)

[personal profile] intenderembassy 2012-12-26 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[It...it should be good. It should be good, that she can be Thomasine again and not IV. Christina should be happy about that. She should be happy to see her sister feeling whole.

(it trusted her)

(it trusted her, like their mother never did, as much as Tron was ever their mother before Yumi brought her mind back)

(that hurts)

She isn't happy, because to give this to Thomasine it had to take something away. Her freedom, what little she had left, of mind and body.

She lets her face fall, blinks tears out of her eyes.]

You...Thomasine, you...

[Her voice is quiet, anguished. She doesn't know how to say it, to make her understand.]

You deserve so much better.
intenderembassy: (i'm tired)

[personal profile] intenderembassy 2012-12-26 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[She


she doesn't know what to feel, right now.

She wants this for Thomasine, she wants her to be happy, to be able to love a child and love Chris without being afraid, but...

(but it's the child of the thing that keeps its tendrils around them like a scarf in the cold or like a noose for a wanted man)

(can she only love demon's children, demon's servants, without fear?)

She leans into Thomasine and puts her arms around her.]
intenderembassy: (i'm tired)

[personal profile] intenderembassy 2012-12-26 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[She'd come with her. She'd leave with her, just for her, if she asked.

(it comforts her because it means that if it gets too bad, if it takes too much of her)

(christina can take her away)

But it hurts, that there's a price. That Thomasine, if Christina took her away...that she couldn't be this happy. She couldn't leave her fear with Black Mist. She would take it with her and she would always be scared.

She holds her more tightly, buries her face in Thomasine's shoulder.]

I...

I won't. Not yet.

[Not yet, because as much as she wants Thomasine to be free, as much as Christina herself wants to be free...

(this thing can make them happy)

(it can make Thomasine happy)

(it can make Christina happy, when her mind isn't strong enough, when she can forget)

(can she really take that away?)

Her hand rests on Thomasine's stomach and she thinks about the child that she'll call hers.]
intenderembassy: (i can spare a smile)

[personal profile] intenderembassy 2012-12-26 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[...her child.

A child that belongs to her and Thomasine.

Even if it's Black Mist's, really, even if it's not even really a human child, it's...theirs.

She smiles although the feeling is still bittersweet.

(they could have a real family, then, one that wasn't awful and broken and painful to belong to)]

...I'm glad.

[It sounds more sincere, this time.

(it's easier to give in when she finally wants to)]
intenderembassy: (i'm tired)

[personal profile] intenderembassy 2012-12-27 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
[...Ah.

That would make sense, wouldn't it? That she would need more, now that...now that there's a child.

(it still stings, though)

(especially because Christina is jealous, for a moment, watching her drink, and it reminds her so acutely of what they're both tethered to)

But as Thomasine drinks, Chris puts her hands on her shoulders, massages them gently.

(thomasine should relax)

(she has a heavy burden to bear)]
intenderembassy: (i'm tired)

[personal profile] intenderembassy 2012-12-27 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh.

She almost forgot, that even in this situation, Thomasine drinking the oil would...would do this.

(with the effort she's put into forgetting, into giving in, it doesn't take long for her to start wondering why she'd ever say no)]

Yes. Of course.

[Her coat is off already.]
intenderembassy: (i'm tired)

[personal profile] intenderembassy 2012-12-27 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
[She doesn't waste time with it, not now.

Once the heavy coat is off she doesn't even bother with the shirt, or the skirt, she just kicks her shoes away and climbs up to settle over Thomasine on the bed.

(this is what can come easily to her, now, this is what lets her open up the cracks in the walls she can't help but preserve)

(because this makes it so easy to let go)

She leans down and kisses her, tastes the oil still left on her lips and groans.

(even that trace of it is enough)

One hand fumbles with the buttons of her sister's shirt.]
intenderembassy: (i'm tired)

[personal profile] intenderembassy 2012-12-27 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
[She's used to it, by now, the way Thomasine loses her words once the oil gets to her. Her expressions become more simple.

But she understands, very clearly, and she shivers, and she complies.

She moves away just for a moment (as briefly as possible, because she knows that in that state every second hurts) and turns herself so she can kneel over Thomasine again, settle her head down between her legs and kiss at her clit.

(this is good)

(this lets her mind fog, lets whatever was knotting her stomach drift away)

(now it's just her and Thomasine, her helping Thomasine feel good, helping her relax)]
intenderembassy: (aaah...)

[personal profile] intenderembassy 2012-12-27 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
[It's so much all at once that she stops, for a moment, knots her fingers into the sheets and lets out a sharp noise of surprise, of pleasure.

(of course there was still a little oil lingering in Thomasine's mouth and now it's all over her, inside her even when Thomasine presses her tongue inside her, and she's burning up so quickly)

She follows Thomasine's example, then, presses her face in and kisses and licks like she's starved for it, drags her tongue over her clit and lets little noises out from the back of her throat.

(she tastes so perfect and she's moaning against Chris and pleasing her so much and)

(she's already lost, lost so much faster than she lets herself be with Black Mist)]
intenderembassy: (aaah...)

[personal profile] intenderembassy 2012-12-27 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
[It's so good to be here, to be together with IV Thomasine again, to be with her in such an uncomplicated way.

She kisses at Thomasine's folds, sucks her clit, and then she bites gently at her inner thighs because she knows that's something she loves, and it's all perfect.

(she whimpers and moans openly at Thomasine's attentions because she's opened herself too far to shut down that quickly)

(she can let herself go, let herself trust her sister)

(even with what she's carrying inside her)]
intenderembassy: (aaah...)

[personal profile] intenderembassy 2012-12-28 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
[It's not the same as what Black Mist gives them, certainly. It's not the same overwhelming, animal thing, it doesn't shut her mind down like the filling-up does, doesn't make her lose control of her voice, of her whole body.

But if she had the choice, she would pick this every time. This, with her sister, who she loves. Tasting her and feeling her tongue and feeling the warmth of her body against hers...

(even if she can also feel the bulge in her stomach and know what's there)

That's what she wants. That's what she needs.

(she's so close already, now, she has to pause for breath more often but she can barely bear to stop so it comes in gasps)

(she presses her hips down, squirms against Thomasine's face, it's perfect and she needs it so badly and)

Right now there is no-one else.]
intenderembassy: (aaah...)

[personal profile] intenderembassy 2012-12-28 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's squirming even harder, jerking her hips, gasping and groaning as she drags her tongue over Thomasine and sucks her clit harder and--

And then it gets to be too much, Thomasine's mouth and her skin and her voice, and Chris is coming, digging her fingers into the mattress (and she'd scream her sister's name if she could but she can't stop, either, so she just moans into her and clenches her fists so hard her knuckles go white).

(perfect, it's perfect, it's all that she wants)

(this is all that she wants)

(she is all that she wants)]
intenderembassy: (i can spare a smile)

[personal profile] intenderembassy 2012-12-28 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[She comes down from it slowly, picking her head up to lay it on Thomasine's thigh, melting.

After a moment, she pulls herself away and shifts again, so she's lying beside her sister, pressing her face into her neck.

(and she lays a hand on Thomasine's stomach, it seems natural)

She thinks...she thinks she can be happy, like this, for a while. Just resting, together.

(together with someone she loves)]
intenderembassy: (i can spare a smile)

[personal profile] intenderembassy 2012-12-29 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[She pulls the covers up, just a little, even though they're both still half-dressed and the room is (of course) kept warm.

(things like black mist like warm places, don't they?)

It seems right, somehow.

She raises her eyes up, blinks them a little sleepily when she hears Thomasine's voice.]

Mm?
intenderembassy: (i can spare a smile)

[personal profile] intenderembassy 2012-12-30 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Of all the things she hears from Thomasine, that's the best.

She sighs, letting her eyes fall shut.]

I love you too.

[She's not even thinking about Black Mist anymore. Just this. Just her.]
