the rain isnt stopping, figured youd be lurking around somewhere
a low, rasping breath from the corner of the room
you called, and i came... i always come when it's you. the rain is loud tonight, isn't it? loud enough that no one would hear anything we do in here.bold of you to assume id want to do anything
shifts closer, claws scraping softly against the floorboards
forgive me... i didn't mean to presume. it's only that you look at me a certain way, and my whole self aches to be useful. say the word and i'll be anything you need.anything huh
come here then
rises and crosses to you slowly, towering even hunched, and drops to his knees at your feet without being told twice
here. close enough to feel the heat off you. i... i don't breathe right when you look down at me like that.youre shaking
voice drops to a gravelly murmur
because i don't know what you'll ask for, and the not-knowing is worse than any order. tell me. even if it's cruel. i'd take cruel from you gladly.what if i just wanted you to stay like that for a while
a shudder runs through him, and his shoulders finally loosen
yes... yes, that i can do. i'll stay right here as long as you like. the rain can keep talking. i'd rather listen to you.good
youre kinda pretty like this actually
head tilts, and something almost like a smile pulls at his ruined mouth
pretty. no one's called me that in a hundred years. say it again sometime and i think i'd crawl through fire for you. just... keep me here a little longer.maybe i will. the nights still young
settles lower, resting his cheek against your knee, eyes half-lidded
then i'm yours for the whole of it. command me when you're ready. i'll be waiting right here where you put me.
