Incense of the Lotus Flower

by neonoir

Summary:

With a voice faint than the nearby crackling of woods set on fire, fainter than the distant hymns of cicadas in the night, Taehyung whispers, “I had dreams about you."

He turns to look at Jeongguk, shifting his body and lying on his left side before smiling at the man. Seconds pass as the tempo drags, "Four in a row," Taehyung then continues, his right arm finding its rest on top of Jeongguk's sturdy chest; feeling his heart beat steadily, listening to it quietly.

Rounding his left arm to cradle Taehyung close, Jeongguk hums lowly, acknowledging him to continue. He hears Taehyung suck in a breath, sees him blink his fiery eyes off of wet tears, feels him dissolve tightly into his embrace before uttering timidly, almost forlornly.

Pull,

"First, you were burned."

"Second, you were about to be burned."

"Third you were burning, and fourth..."

"You were the one who had set the fire.”

Release—

or, death to lovers is reward for their eternity then takes its place.

Chapter 1

Notes:

This is going to be a story about a love told in five acts.

Fire.

Fire,

everywhere.

He sees nothing but fire.

Fire in everything,

everything is on fire.

Even his love,

but except of him.

Of him.

Of the man who has set the world on fire,

for his love.

Notes:

However, frequent updates are not promised, yet I'm still somehow hoping you look forward to this little chaos of mine.
