SYDNEY SWEENEY in Angry (Official Video) - The Rolling Stones
she’s not one for reticence but is timid in the way she folds her hand into his, slow and delicate, as though the bubble could pop & the illusion could shatter any second. “ the honour is all mine, ” indigo whispers reluctantly, scared any word that leaves her lips could make him change his mind, find company elsewhere and leave her with a dry mouth and heavy heart. if love is golden then a crush must be yellow, she thinks. if tate is the sun, she is an adoring astronomer finding ways to enter his gravity, desperate to feel his pull against her skin. she follows him to the roof, only allowing herself to breathe when they’ve reached their destination, the night sky draping over their shoulders like a navy bedsheet. “ do you have a lighter? i think i have one somewhere.. ” she paws at her pockets, producing a purple lighter with ‘ indigo ’ written in diamantes along one side. “ a gift from my dad last christmas ” she says proudly, handing over the tool.
heart's beating fast enough to make his ribs ticklish, and the sight of her face nearly stuns him into a brief silence—her eyes shine even brighter than the glitter catching in the corners. it's dazzling but unsurprising that indigo glows, incandescent as ever in a space that dulls in comparison. the smile that quirks up his lips is almost instinctive, and who is he to leave her hanging? "why, miss miller, i do declare it'd be my honor." tate's always had a knack for meeting people where they are, sunlight melting through glass to flood whatever space its welcome in, and so her southern drawl is matched with one of his own. ( albeit, a terrible one. ) the joint gets tucked behind his ear with practiced flair, fingers free now to extend toward her in gallant offering— palm up, steady as anything despite the current tap dance in his chest. "careful now."
