aurora rising one shots, volume two.

A dance ✨

Yeah I've done this before but I owe y'all a proper one shot so here we are.

//

I hum slowly to the music that I'm playing on the Uniglass I conjured, dewy grass wet against my feet.

"There will come a soldier, who carries a mighty sword," I sing softly, grabbing a knife and some cucumbers, and chopping them.

"He will tear your city down, oh lei oh lai oh lord, he will tear your city down, oh lei, oh lai, oh lord."

I can't help but think of Kal as that warrior.

I grab the seaweed and the rice and start rolling them together, making sushi.

I promised Kal I'd show him what it was. He seemed fascinated.

"There will come a poet, who's weapon is his words," I sing once more, thinking of Scarlett Isobel Jones, who is outside our small world.

"He will slay you with his tongue, oh lei oh lai oh lord. He will slay you with his tongue, oh lei oh lai oh lord."

I'm so wrapped up in the song that I don't realise Kal standing behind me, next to our bed.

"There will come a ruler, who wears a crown of thorns."

By the time I sing the next verse, there's a neat stack of sushi and iced tea that I created.

"Smeared in oil like David's boy, oh lei oh lai oh lord, smeared in oil like David's boy, oh lei oh lai oh lord."

The instrumental begins, and to my surprise, Kal takes my hands and starts dancing with me in his arms.

"Kal! What are you—" I laugh, being spun around and dipped by Kal.

He simply grins in response -maker, he's such a dork when he's happy like that.

We dance until the song ends.
Well, more than that.

And we end the perfect night with a soft kiss.

It almost has me forgetting that I'm going to die.
