(She nearly does laugh, but bites the insides of her cheeks, until the sound dissolves. Her shoulders shake regardless as Venus draws closer to her, nervous laughter dancing in her eyes. This is too much. Venus is overwhelming. The sheen coming off her wing makes Neptune squint.
Her touch is warmer than she thought it would be. She watches Venus' fingers trail up her arm. Underneath the glow of her skin, Neptune's water-logged skin doesn't look quite so muddied. She misses 'beautiful', so carefully does she watch Venus' nails tap her skin, but lifts her head to follow the wriggle of her fingers. Her brow furrows. She remembers something like that. Of becoming a flood, of becoming wild and unstoppable, a torrent of every bad and wicked thought.)
It was more than that. I was an ocean. I was the flood. It's hard to explain. All I wanted was to be bad, Venus. I wasn't going to let anybody make me be good, and all you had to do was join me But you didn't
(It felt like a betrayal, of sorts. To know somewhere in another time she is the devil, and so is Jupiter, and so is Venus, and that it is beautiful... she's not sure how to resolve that in her mind right now.)
