Dawn. You feel the soft rays of sunlight against your face as the sun pierces the darkness of the room, accompanied by a low hiss of anguish. On his side against your back, your Master stirs, moving you from the crook of his shoulder as he pulls his arm from under you. His hand looks scalded as he gives it a shake, the flesh smoothing once it leaves the light.
"Cursed morning, my pet," he grumps, glaring at the curtain that doesn't quite cover the window properly. You feel a compulsion to stand and do so, sheets falling from your naked skin. The stone of the floor is cold under your feet as you move to the window at his whim, and draw the curtain across it properly to shut out the light. "I thought I'd asked you to draw the curtains, my pet?" he asks you, the words felt emanating within you, the room remaining silent as he speaks inside of you.
"I did Master," you respond quickly, looking at him before your gaze goes to the ground. You can feel his displeasure, before you add, "I'm pretty sure you opened them again during the night. You said something about the moon, and how it looked on my skin." Your voice is reproachful, reminding him of what he had done. "Master," you add quickly, a flash of an impish smile on your face as you glance back up at him.
"Mmm...you're right, my pet," he agrees, still silent, a grin coming over his own features as he studies you in the near darkness of the room.
A pause, before you decide to ask him a question that's been on your mind for some time. "Tell me, my Lord. You hate the sun, because it harms you. But, is there another reason? You always seem so...angry whenever it rises, whether it's burning your skin or not." he considers you for a long while, his stare drinking you in. You feel your nipples harden under his scrutiny, and see the faint smile they elicit from him.
"It breaks the night," he murmurs aloud, voice filling the silent room despite your ears having to strain to catch his words. "It hurts me, true, but it destroys the night. While I love the cool caress of the darkness...truly?" he looks slightly embarrassed at what he says next. "It outshines the stars...and I love the stars." A shy smile, hesitant, before he shrugs. The moment passes, before he stands and crosses the room to you. "I think, perhaps, love, that I should capture the stars to put in your hair." he strokes your hair, fingers catching on one of the charms embedded in it. He toys with it for a moment, rolling it in his fingers, before he nods. "Stars for your hair," he agrees with himself before he lets go. "Kneel," he orders,.
