(Anonymous) 2013-03-19 04:38 am (UTC)(link)It's a quiet night in another unfamiliar hotel, the others having long since fallen asleep, leaving them stranded in the bathroom until further notice. Amber has started it, of course, because Amber has started everything in Krystal's tales; running a bath so hot that only one cannot take it, practically calling for Krystal to join her. Still, in all honesty, she hadn't had any objections when Krystal dropped down into the tub beside her, shimmying her body in between the older girl's legs; it had practically become a ritual for them to stay up past curfew to sit, even in silence.
A long time passes without words, Amber taking care to slowly flick her shaggy hair off of Krystal's sweaty neck whenever she readjusts herself, the boiling water splashing out of the tub and onto the floor.
“You have them too, you know,” she says simply, after an hour or so of quiet had gone by. Amber has never had much pretense, if only since she didn't understand how to be anyone but herself. Krystal wonders if that was what she loved about her. “The fault lines.”
“What?” Krystal responds, pressing her head back into Amber's chest.
“Fault lines,” Amber repeats, slowly letting the syllables roll of her tongue. She drags a pruned finger along the creases on Krystal's neck, leaving trails of water that do not fade, before slowly kissing every one. Krystal feels her eyes close, and lets her response die in her lungs. Amber did best when there weren't words.
“Jonghyun calls them that, you know,” Amber continues, in between breaths. “Henry told me he did. And when I asked what they were, Henry said that they're just a part of the human anatomy. So I asked Woori if it's true. And it was. But then I decided to ask Jonghyun what he meant and – and don't tell Jonghyun this, but I think he was quoting some book he read recently, it's still nice though – and Jonghyun said that faultlines are what causes this. You know.”
Krystal's eyes flutter open to see Amber's nose pressed against hers. Underneath the cheap fluorescent lights, she notices that Amber's face is all the more beautiful than ever before. Perhaps that is how life is.
“I don't know.” She resigns herself to a night of Amber trying to articulate her feelings into words, the clumsy, careless words that Amber never knew; yet all the same, she couldn't help but allow the smallest of smiles to show.
