of dreamers and princesses
french vanilla ;; dominiquelorcan ;; foam, glitter, mercy
Dominique's always been the girl who stands apart. She's no vanilla ice-cream girl who blends into the background – she's the shineshineglitter girl who commands attention from absolutely everyone.
And oh, she always thought she'd fall for someone who is loved and hated in turns, just like she is, a veritable frozen Prince who would love this ice princess persona that has melded with her heart and soul.
Never did she think she would fall for a dreamer boy with his eyes full of stars.
Oh, but this dreamer boy of hers – well, she wants him, so he's hers – only sees the soft side of her, the one she thought she'd buried under layers and layers of skin and lies and half-truths that hurt no one but herself.
And Dominique just floats along like sea-foam on a crystalline ocean, coasting on this sudden outpouring of emotion from a heart that tries too hard not to care, until she decides what to do about it. So until that moment of decision comes, she'll teach him how to speak French, and he'll teach her to see patterns in the stars, and that ice-cold heart of hers will melt a little more.
In the end, however much she cries out for mercy from this alien that has taken over her heart, she can't let him go.
And so the story of dreamer boy and princess girl begins.
