Chapter 7, V's POV — The First Kiss (Patreon)

[Oracle] steps closer and places their hand on Vezriel’s chest. Vezriel freezes in surprise. Hope blooms in their heart, but they squash it. No need to overthink it.

“You’re trying so hard to be ‘correct’,” [Oracle] sneers. The emotion in their voice takes Vezriel aback. “Not to overstep any lines. Stay proper as a Sovereign should. But I want to know what you want. So tell me. What do you want from me?”

Their gaze flits over Vezriel’s face. Vezriel feels naked until their scrutiny.

[Oracle] isn’t wrong. But Vezriel has been acting this way for their sake, so why…

The hope they have tried to suppress breaks free from their grip. It rattles inside their skull, leaving them stunned. It’s a force shaking them awake. A command to release their mask that sits so poorly on their face in the privacy of this space, in front of [Oracle].

Vezriel grips their wrist and leans closer. “What do I want? I can’t explain it in words.” They can’t imagine how they could do it—they would become a mumbling fool, and what is attractive about that?
