AU - MAGNI & LAKSHMI

[mahalakshmi]

if you'll be my light, i'll be your shelter

i. first meeting | a non existent engagement and a hasty marriage ii. a tempertantrum in a thunderstorm | sticks and stones may break my bone but words will leave me with crippling anxiety (and a headcold) iii. a kindness of intimacies | nsfw, sometimes, love is like falling into an icy lake iv. just like the battle of troy, there is nothing subtle here | when the world conspires to consistently make you insecure about your wife.

"No," she agrees, lighthearted acknowledgement as she leans back and draws Lakshmi back with her on the bed, so she herself is against the pillows and she can still have her hands roam over her Rani, fingers dipping under the neck of her dress so the warmth of her palm and press more certainly against her breast. "But—"

Her earlier worries rear up again, and the hand pauses, draws back. "Is it wrong for me to want you so much right now?"

Should she stop? Should she ease away? Her mouth hangs close to Lakshmi's, so that they might share the same breath and she could steal a kiss so easily, if she weren't trying to hold back.

"If you didn't, I would worry how we ended up here." It's teased, so very lightly as it goes. Tipping up her face, rolling back to arch her neck up because - she has no qualms in kissing her. Not anymore. Arching into her hand like it was her right as Grivenne - and wasn't it just?

So she doesn't bother to stop kissing her until she's well and truly done. Which is to say, when her breath is straining in her lungs, her lips feel full, and her gaze has gone that little dazed in contentment. "We should enjoy it before I can't stand the sight of you."

As they kiss, Magni slowly rolls them. Carefully, holding Lakshmi in her arms and moving so she lies alongside her, uncertain and wanting to take particular care. She can't help the smile that interrupts the kiss, laughing quietly as she starts to kiss downwards, so she can bite Lakshmi's neck in playful reprimand.

"Why are you sharpening your claws on me?" Such a cruel lioness, today. This time she sucks at Lakshmi's neck, hard enough that it might draw up a bruise.

It's like that deliriously warm first time, how careful Magni had been with her, how gently she had touched her. Moving her about like a piece of glass, and as much - much as she did not need it, did not always want others to treat her this way, and would do just as Magni said - dug her claws in.

She cannot deny that she adores it. That no matter what else, Magni always touched her like something precious.

"Because you might be my mountain, but very soon I am going to be a boulder." She laughs, even with her head grinding back at an angle to press her neck up for the offering.

"Don't speak so rudely of my love." Murmured against her skin, before she bites down harder on her neck and pulls Lakshmi closer to her, so that she might feel the arch of her body against her. "You're my Rani. You're the eagle of Talonhold. You might become more dramatic, but you're no boulder."

Teasing gently, before she tilts her head up to steal a kiss, if Lakshmi will indulge her.

The kisses hushes her before she can get a word out right then. Her head tilting up to return it, half twisting her body to lean into Magni fully, her arms lifting up to curl back hook on Magni's shoulders and keep her in close. Kissing her like a fixed mark. Determined and whole. At odds to the teasing, she gives warmly and freely.

"So you say now, I bet you're going to enjoy every minute I can't chase after you." What was that, more dramatic?

"The sneaky lioness won't catch me," she murmurs against Lakshmi's lips, though she's laughing a little as she says it. Eases Lakshmi onto her back and holds herself over her, though one of her thighs settles between Lakshmi's and she presses down with it, a taunting pressure. "I can keep all the chocolate cake to myself."

She would never - for one, she's too much of a sap, and for another, she doesn't want to bring about her own demise.

Smiling against the kisses, she gently bites Lakshmi's lip.
