Prompt: Dani gets a new tattoo
When Dani walks into Santana's apartment sporting a huge grin, Santana doesn't even bother with the pleasantries anymore.
"What is it this time?" she asks, not taking her eyes off the book she's currently divulging in. Her lips do curl up in a smile when the blonde stops right in front of her with her hands on her hips.
"What about my good morning kiss?" Dani teases, pouting her lips to emphasize her point.
Santana rolls her eyes at the girls antics, but beckons her closer nonetheless. Dani complies happily and places a chaste kiss on her lover's mouth. When they break apart, they both have silly smiles on their faces.
"So?" Santana prods.
Dani doesn't answer verbally. Instead she lifts up the side of her shirt for Santana to see the latest addition. Dani had taken a habit to inking herself with whatever reminded her of Santana, and the Latina found the action very sweet.
This time, the tattoo is located just above her right hip. Santana can still see the red around the irritated skin, but she makes out the words.
"I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair," Santana reads aloud. Then she reels back and shoots Dani a playful grin. "Okay. That does not make you sound like a stalker at all."
Dani punches her shoulder playfully. Then she plucks the book from Santana's hands, places it on the table next to them, and sits herself on her girlfriend's lap. "It's the title of a poem."
"Tell it to me," Santana requests. She knows that Dani is a bit of a literature buff, and she loved that about the girl. That is only one of the similarities they had that drew them together. It's also one where they clash, as Dani likes her poems and Santana prefers the big books.
Dani nods and begins to recite the poem,
"I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.
Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets.
Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day
I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps."
She grins goofily at Santana.
"I hunger for your sleek laugh,
your hands the color of a savage harvest,
hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails,
I want to eat your skin like a whole almond."
To emphasize the words, she gently nibbled on Santana's ear.
"I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body,
the sovereign nose of your arrogant face,
I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes,
and I pace around hungry, sniffing the twilight,
hunting for you, for your hot heart,
like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue."
Dani finishes by placing a soft kiss on Santana's nose and then standing up with a huge grin.
Santana stares at her for a while with what she can only describe as pure adoration.
"Yep. You're a stalker."
