Notes: Happy Halloween, theimpossiblegl! What a pleasure to write for you. I hope you enjoy this little thing. Title is a quote from Poe.
You find him by the water. His face is sharp ivory, turned up to the moon. There's an insolent curve to his smile and he stretches - young and long-limbed, dressed in battered leather. Your hair is peppered grey and your neck all wrinkles and scars. Even when he's dead, Black manages to look more alive than you.
"I know you're there." He's amused.
"Yes." You join him at the water's edge, bony knees knocking together, hands finding one another across rain-damp grass.
Black kisses the lines on your face that another year left behind. "Missed you."
You nod your head; let him catch your cheek in the palm of his hand. "I'm tired." Your voice is thick, tongue heavy.
"I know."
"When I wake up you'll be gone." He comes on All Hallows Eve. Just once, every year. No matter how many furious spells you cast, he always returns to stardust.
"Maybe."
You realise what's happening when the moon flickers out of focus and his voice turns gruff. He's older - a familiar, rough warmth. He looks just as he did the day he died.
He kisses you, soft, sweet and slow. He's warm, now and his lips taste like stars.
