The sunrise came as if it had missed the inky night sky, the stars faded away into nothing but mist, as the star from above wanted nothing more than to warm up those blues to a radiant gold.
Peach and magenta, amber and rose, radiating hope, a new beginning. Another chance to live. The start of a brand new day. A new day to perhaps maybe confess their love towards each other.
Medusa lay there, Thalia next to her as she lay her head on her. What was she gonna do?
"Leave. You're going to hurt her. She deserves to be happy. Not with someone like you" she thought to herself, wondering if she could bear to keep Thalia around, scared she'd hurt her somehow, worried that the Princess would love her too much and it'd all happen again...
Yet as she tried to get up, she stood up to the voice in her head that had driven her insane for all this time, trying to take away every little piece of happiness she got.
"I'm not leaving. I'm staying here, with her," she replied back as she embraced Thalia, for she desired her, her, and nothing else in this cruel world.
Truly, when lovers keep their connections for a lifetime, both physical and emotional their bond turns eternal.
She closed her eyes and let sleep wash over her, knowing she was safe in the arms of her lover, and she was in hers. She desired nothing else at that moment, for this... Well, Dear Reader was love. Love of the purest kind, pure, and blessed to walk this Earth and for whatever comes after. They'd find each other in the next life, and the next after that. Perhaps in different bodies, or perhaps even different souls together. But they'd find each other, and perhaps that was all that truly mattered.
"Good morning Princess..." Medusa grinned as she looked at Thalia arising from her sleep as they both looked at each other into the eye. Well, Medusa a little more literally, instead Thalia just caressed Dusa's bicep, still entranced as the first day she had felt them against her, just as Thalia was for the Princess's emerald eyes that shined against the glimmering sun, a dazzling beauty that nothing could ever outmatch.
"Hi!!" Thalia replied, giggling ever so slightly, remembering the events of yesterday, the kiss... And well, their certainly intense night, she frankly didn't know what to say. "Diiiiid you sleep well?? Cause like, I mean I did! And like I was beside you so of course I slept well cause like you're amazing and awesome and beautiful and so BRILLIANT" she ranted as she thought of her lover and their passion of crime.
"I certainly slept well my love, want me to make you some breakfast?" Replied Medusa, a grin she couldn't shake off her face as she realized what she had just said, a clear look of shock and panic on her face as her cheeks turned their beautiful crimson red "I-I... I mean u-um..." she stammered out, not knowing what to say "I-is it o-okay if I c-call you that?" she asked hesitantly, trying to compose her face chock-full of gay panic
"Of course it is!!! I mean we are lovers aren't we?" the Princess replied, a kind and understanding smile on her face "Of course we don't have to be if you don't want to..." she teased, putting a little pout on her face trying to make her little killer blush
"N-no of course not! I... Wanna be your lover..." Medusa managed to speak out, both flattered and amazed at what the Princess had just said, after all it wasn't every day your best friend and roommate decides to love you isn't?
"Well good! Cause I wanna be your lover too!" Thalia giggled, putting a hand to her mouth as she pecked Medusa on the cheek, God she was just so adorable, and smart, and funny, and kind...
Dear Reader it might occur to you that Thalia had been in love with the Queen of the Forest for quite some time now, after all, it wasn't exactly based off pure friendship that she slept naked now was it? Well, mostly it was cause of the heat of the night but also the fact that... Well, she didn't mind Medusa seeing her naked.
Medusa said nothing grinning from ear to ear as the Princess kissed her on the cheek, she was in LOVE
"Well I'll go make us some tagenites, meet me in the kitchen Princess?" she smirked, returning the kiss as she got up, dressing her usual clothes, in a torn out condition from the... Excitement from both the dance and their little activity
"I-I will!" Thalia replied as she started to get up, rubbing her eyes a little as she did her best to rise from her slumber, it wasn't exactly easy seeing as she that morning exhaustion and the fact that her love wasn't around to support her and help her get up.
Truly, Dear Reader, they lived very difficult lives.
As Medusa cooked around in the kitchen, she couldn't help feel a little upbeat, more than usual of course. Almost as if all her worries and anguishes and misery and all that, well had dissappeared. Of course, she always felt that way around the Princess, yet today was a little more... Well, cheerful! The birds were singing more jovially, the sun shined brighter, the flowers blossomed into a far shinier and more beautiful color, the Killer of Men couldn't help but smile a little, letting out a little tune as she cooked for her beloved.
"Soooo... Whatcha wanna do today???" Thalia asked opening the shack door with her soft thighs as they parted off to the beach, Medusa carrying their plates as they walked onto the soft sand, sitting down in their usual place, the place they had first met and passed Thalia's plates to her
"Well, I suppose we could finish our song... Maybe have another adventure of ours tonight?" Medusa smirked, amused at the Princess's reaction, her cheeks turning to a rosy red as dug into her food
"Well, I mean... I definitely wouldn't complain about that!" she giggled, setting herself closer to her darling Medusa as she ate "But yeah we could totally finish up our song!! And like we could like take a walk and like dance!!! Ugh we could do so many things!?" she ranted on, a little anxious about how they'd do so much in one day
"Darling don't stress about anything, tomorrow always comes doesn't it?" Medusa replied a kind smile on her face as her fingers caressed through Thalia's hair, feeling her short bob in between her hand as she got a little closer to Thalia. All that she could offer was a little stammer, and a blush, amazed as she truly knew what perfection was. It was right by her side and it took her practically four months to find it
A while later, Medusa and the Princess went back inside as she washed up the plates, grabbing the guitar and their sheet of music, all their lyrics (and a few doodles) on there, and went outside "So where do you wanna play my darling?" Medusa asked her, brushing a snake from her face as the wind blew it over
"Maybe the Forest??? Like it's so pretty and we haven't been there in so long and it's so pretty!!! Like sure the beach and all that is nice but like... The Forest!! It's so..." Thalia said, trying to find the ideal word, practically even searching the air itself as she tried to find the perfect word
"... Magical. " Medusa said finishing her sentence, a little blush coming from the Princess "And yes darling, we can absolutely go." Medusa smiled, as she held onto her guitar by its neck using her left hand as the two girls walked to the Forest, and as they walked.
Thalia subtly nudged her hand against Medusa's, a small grin coming from her face as the Killer of Men softened her heart, glancing a little at the beautiful lips of the Princess.
A deep curve on her lips made sure the worls stopped around her. a smile that brings back a million memories in a split second, and a precious dimple that crinkles skips a beat.. She had a smile that made one feel happier about being alive, just a bit more human. And in the case of Medusa, well, if she looked at her lips for another split second, she feared she'd grasp onto them, and never let them go.
The way to their little place down in the Forest was filled with giggles and grins, both lovers just wanted more of each other, so much more.
And as they sat down, they sang for they disturbed the slumbering Forest, yet it did not retaliate against its wakening. For the Forest and all its inhabitants, they listened, to music, laughter, and the cheers of their Queen and her Princess. And while the world may have gone by as seconds for both girls as they embraced their love in the Forest, the rest of the world stopped. Giving them, just a little more time to celebrate their joy, to grasp onto their love, and be safe in each other's words.
For love was their curse, Medusa thought she cured it, but now it was just a disease of its own kind, refusing to be cured. But after all, maybe love was their blessing, no?
Love is a journey with water and stars,
with drowning air and storms of lightning, a curse and a blessing as we strive to find it. For only the truest of us all, may one day find it in its purest form.
"Okay!!! I think we're like done?? Ummm you wanna sing it??" Thalia asked giddily as she passed over the scroll they had been writing on, Medusa took it before handing it back.
"How about, you sing, I play? We're a duet aren't we?" Medusa replied, a kind grin on her face as the Princess nodded, and so she plucked her first string
"I'll find you in the next life
For you darling, are my eternal
While others may say love, is a curse
Release from your love would be far from a blessing
At the mere sight of you, my voice falters,
My tongue, broken.
Take my soul, I'll worship you
But take my love, and I'll be yours forever
Perhaps in a future life, we'll be remembered
Two lovers lost to each other, a moth drawn to a candle
Never was harp-note like your voice, my love
Your sweet voice ringing. "
And as her voice slowed to a halt, the world came back to its natural state. For her beauty and lyric, had stopped the whole world. A perfect voice, without a fault. Well one fault of course, after all what is perfection without being imperfect?
"That was beautiful Princess..." Medusa sighed, admiring the words as she looked upon them, hearing her beautiful voice as it echoed in her ears. All Thalia could muster was a little blush, she was a little out of practice from her lack of singing but perhaps... Well perhaps, it was more important that her darling Medusa had thought it wonderful.
"Let's get going shall we? It's turning dark soon" Medusa said, acknowledging the orange gold stretching far and wide upon the sky, the colour of fire hearths and tangerines, a promise of future days to come.
As they went back home, Medusa dropped off her guitar, putting it right next to the door as both girls went off to the beach, a daily tradition of theirs as they walked along the place they had first met. It seemed... Well, as if new meaning had been given to the place after the events of last night.
The sun set in the sky as fresh colours brushed upon an artist's canvas, as if those rays were destined to create a great work of art - one given to those open to capturing simple moments in the soul. Silhouettes of birds flew home across a sky that was now magenta; and the sun was half into the water, but its reflection in the sea made it look complete. The mauve of the dusky sky intensified, and in just a while, the biggest star had set, giving way to a thousand others.
An orange haze casted over the moving sea, reflecting off every wave. Half of a glowing, radiant light loomed on the water's horizon as Medusa admired the sunset, it was beautiful.
Yet, it wasn't the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. Thalia was. The truth was, the Princess. No HER Princess, was perfect. A flawed perfection as she admired the masterpiece standing by her side, there was no better place to do this than now.
"Thalia." she called out as she got down on the warm sands of the beach, as the brilliant orb of amber and tangerine sunk lower and lower in the sky until it dipped down into the horizon, painting the sky in magnificent hues of fiery red and crimson. The colors faded from maroon to neon pink and majestic purple.
"Dusa?" she called out as she turned her face to her lover who stood on one knee, a little confused on what she was doing
Crimson, amber and tangerine beams were thrown into the dusty sky, its beautiful colours embracing the heavens gracefully, embracing Medusa's silhouette as her shadow kneeled on that beach.
"You're no Princess, you're my queen, my heart lies in your hands. For no passion, can overcome mine for yours I love you, eternally, until the stars burn out. And nothing can overcome my desire for you. Become mine, and I'll become yours." she paused for a second, taking a deep sigh before she asked the question, her voice shaking a little.
"Tell me my love, will you marry me? "
"I will. "
