Summary:
a plan or two, a quidditch game or three, and a trio:
a lost boy, a girl with too much mind and too little time, and the one who never gets what he wants.
(plus the one who keeps getting in the way)
Their teeth clacked and both of them choked on each others’ breath. The action was messy and broken, and yet neither of them pulled away.
This was drowning, Kaz thought madly. This was the ocean, and Inej’s lips were the waves that crashed against him, pulling him away from Ketterdam, away from his reason, his sense. He sensed the water lapping against his lungs again, but instead of tearing himself away this time, he put a shaking, gloveless hand onto Inej’s face tentatively.
Kaz heard Inej draw in a sharp breath, but she only stepped forward, sealing their lips together even further.
The water was gone and his lungs were on fire now. The glorious agony spread to a blaze in his chest, his heart trying to fan out the flames with its frantic beating. And yet the torment made him more desperate, more starved, made his mouth open and stutter out her name for the first time like a whisper of devotion.
And when he heard his own name sighed back to him like a benediction, Kaz felt free.
