But she wasn't able to die. Never for long. So their time together was always fleeting.

"Let's spend these last moments... holding each other?"

Michelle and DeeDee's lives were... complicated. Her nature as the always dying, trapped in a cycle of endless death and life - never quite rebirth - Michelle was always a foot in the grave. New powers often meant new lifespans, some powers simply no good for keeping a woman alive.

"You want to spend it any other way but holding me...?"

Her arms slipped around the pale woman, eyes looking less than hungry - it wasn't lust but pure affection. "When you're gone, I won't know touch or warmth like this again. Likely not for weeks, months, or a year."

“If only we were allowed to see each other whenever we wanted, without these ridiculous rules that seek to only restrain those trying to help…”

Such a wish could never be made true, at least not now when the balance of the universe itself was still in a rather delicate state after the constant [+]

For Michelle it was lovely - but so much more complicated. Even if she wasn't some common mortal anymore, her mind was still a complex web of lives and traumas. A complex web compounded on, by her unique position. She loved this woman, but she also knew there was something...

These days are getting even worse than she’s used to…maybe Death needs another sabbatical.

"No. It never has to be. But also what is offered back might also not be love."

Said her name the way it ought to be said. Kissed the places that needed it, and touched her how she needed and wanted. For everything else ...

It was simple.

"You know me, I'll never keep you waiting long..." She whispered under the covers, just enough light breaking through to dimly reveal them.

Fundamentally incorrect.

It wasn't wrong to love her, but the act was... It was an affront to some cosmic order she didn't understand. But it was also perfect and sublime. Not in any cosmic way... She just...

She looked at her the way someone who loves you ought to.

Mere hours remained, not nearly enough for everything the two wished to do and say but still remained to be enough time to get the bare minimum on the ground floor. Those soft lips continued to wander but eventually rose to meet Michelle’s in what could be called a spark of passion.

“Some day…I [+]

Sunbeams broke through autumn leaves and the windows to bathe them in gold and flecks of opalescence. It felt like a declaration of love - something often forbidden between her kind and mortals. Not that Michelle knew that. She left that sort of thing to Fate or Occult.

Metaphorically.

Spiritually.

Instead she pulled the covers over them, plunging them into muted darkness as her lover's mouth began to tend to her lonely skin. Since losing her family, and the constant meddling with time - she was unsure if they ever even existed, Death has been her only true companion...

Literally.

A soft gasp followed suit, seeming to felt into their embrace and those eyes seeming so full of love and joy rather than what she tried to fake to the others and yet…there was nothing she wanted more than to be with Michelle here and now, a few kisses of her own turning into light nibbles [+]

The look on Michelle's face as she came too was a mix of confusion and annoyance - but whatever confusing or negative emotions Death might have misunderstood from that look would be dispelled quickly.

"What are you talking about...?"

She reached out to her, pulling the pale woman into her arms.
