A/N: Many apologies for the delay. The muse is simply not with me, and I've started college. Also, I am considering leaving this Seth/Eirika one-shot collection and beginning a new one. There will be at least one more chapter here, a somewhat companion piece to Recessional. As for this chapter, well, I didn't quite follow the quote as I'd hoped I would, and it came out… odd.
Undone. She loves to see him come undone. Post-game.
"He wanted to close that distance and wanted to see her come undone, even though he knew he had no right do either."
- Call Me Irresponsible by Philyra
She loves to see him come undone.
It is satisfying in the most basic and carnal ways; the kind that draws a smile to her face that could never pass for a lady's, let alone a queen's. He's seen it enough times to recognize it, and he is still not fully comfortable with it. She knows, she can see the slight dilation of his eyes; she loves to watch the light hit them and watch the shape and color shift between black and auburn.
She giggles. She's not fully comfortable with this either, but when the mood strikes her, the knowledge of power fills her veins, causing her stomach to feel hot and tense, she can't help but take control.
It is utterly satisfying to see all his formalities drop away. To see him act as nervously as all other love-struck men: a blush, a stutter, a gaze not quite met.
She knows she really has no right to make him this way; that his control is something he is renowned for, and although he does not admit, he is quite proud of. She should not pry away the boundaries he has set between the two of them; and yet there is something utterly satisfying in watching things break when she is told she shouldn't.
But even more that this, she loves it when he shatters and she is (almost) unwilling unmade by him.
