1Tumblr prompt from Jennyfair7 - "Christian/Satine: "sugar"
Can be either Movieverse or Musicalverse
There is one particular bakery, settled just off of Rue Constance, that calls to Christian as he passes, beckoning him closer with promises of fresh pan au chocolat in the morning and delectable macaroons as evening falls.
One fateful afternoon, he caves, relishing in the tinkling of the bell above the door as he emerges on the street moments later, an order of beignetsnestled in his palms, hesitating -only a moment, for he is desperate to feelanything - before popping one of the pastries past his lips.
Immediately, his senses are assaulted with memories of her - the warm dough calls to mind the softness of her skin, smooth and supple under his fingertips, the sweet power coating his lips like her honeyed kiss used to do, sends his mind reeling and eyes burning as the name falls from his mouth on a choked whisper, the first time in nearly a year: "...Satine..."
He never returns to the bakery again.
Thanks for reading...and please review!
