Title: Seized With An Undeniable Sweetness Rating: G Prompt: #51 Conversations Summary: Jon watches Cythera and gets swept away. Notes: A little drabble for Kat.
Jon watched the way the sunlight gilded the surfaces of Cythera’s face, casting her skin pale gold and almost unearthly to his sight. Her thick, curling lashes fanned across her cheeks, and he remembered, with odd clarity, the twirl of her dress and the clumsy stutter of her step.
“You promised not to stare so,” she murmured, abashed and youthful. One eye opened, then another, to reveal cornflower blue. Jon shifted forwards, as if towards the sky, eager like a new page and seeking to please. Suddenly shy, Cythera leaned in close for a chaste kiss.
Afterwards, Jon smiled and tucked her cheek into the curve of his neck, gentle and dear. His chest, so filled with grief and emptiness at the loss of his mother, seized with an undeniable sweetness so absolute, that he could do nothing but let it engulf him in its tide.
