like it's MY fault my love language is acts of service and all i know how to do is kill

[cruelfates]

a  quiet  night  away  from  the  chaos  of  her  new  life  .  a  moment  of  solitude  where  she  could  catch  her  breath  and  ground  herself  once  more  .  the  one  desire  she  thought  she  had  been  able  to  satisfy  falls  flat  on  its  face  as  a  voice  cuts  through  the  silence  .  she's  caught  off  guard  by  his  presence [  …  ]  the  informal  nature  of  his  tone  warning  her  that  she  may  already  be  in  over  her  head  .  “  i'm  sorry  .  i  fear  you've  mistaken  my  personal  life  for  that  of  someone  else's  .  i'm  happily  married  …  to  your  brother  nonetheless  .  ”  the  lie  statement  feels  wildly  unnatural  as  it  leaves  her  mouth  ,  her  lips  nearly  refusing  to  form  the  word  married  .  she  hopes  he  doesn't  notice  ,  watches  as  he  seems  to  evaluate  her  .

he  nods  to  the  book  in  his  grasp  and  her  blood  runs  cold  .  the  sudden  lack  of  information  and  preparation  that  her  family  had  provided  her  with  prior  to  forcing  her  into  this  new  identity  had  become  blatantly  obvious  .  it  seems  they  simply  assumed  a  strong  resemblance  would  have  been  enough  to  execute  their  clever  scam  .  an  unspoken  tension  lingers  in  the  space  between  them  while  he  speaks  and  leona  elodie  can  feel  the  blood  rushing  to  her  face  .  she's  fixated  on  his  hand  rather  than  his  voice  ,  brows  furrowing  as  his  clutch  grows  tighter  and  knuckles  lose  their  color  .  antony  and  cleopatra  ?  with  every  confession  ,  she  feels  herself  falling  deeper  and  deeper  into  a  situation  from  which  she  knows  she  will  never  climb  her  way  out  .

a  secret  relationship  between  the  younger  borgia  and  her  late  sister  was  news  to  leona  ,  though  a  lot  of  the  stories  elodie  had  shared  were  slowly  starting  to  piece  themselves  together  .  what  she  once  thought  were  stories  about  her  now  husband  might  have  truly  been  about  his  brother  .  the  whirlwind  romance  she  had  only  dreamt  of  in  the  past  was  one  she  would  never  actually  experience  .  one  she  couldn’t  experience  .  brown  orbs  drift  from  pale  joints  to  intimidating  pools  of  cerulean  .  “  yes  ,  ”  she  agrees  ,  shoulders  lifting  in  an  effort  to  exude  confidence  .  “  though  i  must  ask  you  how  you  intend  to  forget  this  ancient  history  when  you  and  i  are  forced  to  stroll  the  same  halls  .  ”

" happily married ... ? surely you jest . " his voice , though calm , is laced with an undercurrent of frustration and a clear , undeniable sense of yearning . the book in his hand trembles slightly , a reflection of the inner turmoil as his pride battles the stubborn hope that dares to linger . " it is true that these halls are haunted by more than just the echoes of our ancestors' ambitions . your loyalty to antonio is a clever deception , i will give you that . yet , lies wear thin in the face of truth , my love . "

despite the mask of condescension , his heart races in tandem with the pulse that quickens at the base of his throat . he can't help but lean closer in vexation , free hand slowly suspending in the air between them as a testament to the fragile boundary they teeter upon ; a boundary that threatens to collapse under the weight of this tension . it's with instinctive precision that long fingers brush against her cheek , moving gently to tuck a loose tendril of her dark locks behind the curve of her ear.

" my ' intent ' is to keep trying . to try and push past these feelings as effortlessly as you pretend to . i have tried , believe me . i bury myself in books , in the duties of my station , hoping to drown out these feelings . then i see you and it is as though time folds in on itself ... since your return , i see you more clearly than ever . i can finally see your heart and how it pleads for more than it is given . " his words hang in the air , bluntness cutting through their forced formalities . the implication is clear , a pointed jab at the state of her marriage and a challenge to acknowledge the truth they both dance around . in a voice low tinged with a hint of scorn , he whispers , " unless it is not feelings that draw you to me ... but merely the empty bed you share with him ? "

cruelfates requested : ❛ some things are better left forgotten ❜ from a collection of sentence starters originally posted by ohisms .

" it is odd seeing you at this hour . what matters are you attending to ... ? clandestine meetings with a new lover ? " loitering footsteps are hushed against stone mosaics as their paths intersect in an eerily quiet corridor of the vatican . the distinctive scent of incense hangs heavy in the air as yet another reminder of his father's legacy and the tangled web of power and betrayal that defines his lineage . often , alexander ponders the blessing curse of the borgia bloodline , but not now ... now , all he can think about is elodie and the bitter jealousy that continues to gnaw relentlessly on his breaking heart . " your swift adjustment suggests a heart unburdened by our the past ... "

accusation lingers in his tone as alexander dwells on her affections redirecting to his own brother . the public eye pays witness to antonio and elodie's burgeoning ' love ' , and with each glance ... each shared smile ... the younger of the borgia brothers feels himself slipping further into obscurity. his knuckles turn white from the strength of his grip on a leather-bound volume of classical literature . " perhaps it is foolish ... i often compare us to figures in this tome . antony and cleopatra . " he holds the item up in view , the deliberate anchor against the overwhelming urge to reach out to her .

the book's weight and weathered texture ground him and serve as a tangible barrier against a familiar and forbidden desire that threatens to consume him whole . the cleric is self-aware enough to predict one transient touch would only make his need for her grow . it's the cruelest form of torture . the crystalline brilliance of blue hues shift away from doe-like in a forced act of restraint . " two souls doomed by passion and ambition ... yet , i draw parallels . he may as well share a name with my brother , but i am the one who has forsaken duty for desire ... only to find myself cast aside in favour of another . it's ancient history . some things are better left forgotten ."

IT’S  ALL  ABOUT  THE  YEARNING 

❝  you need someone.  let me be that person.  let me be what you need.  ❞

❝  look,  i dunno if i’m the kind of person you need or even want right now.  but i’m looking around and i’m the only one who’s here.  ❞

❝  i never realized how much i needed you until you were the one person who wasn’t there.  ❞

❝  you asked me once,  if i would ever take a chance on us…maybe that ship sailed.  but.  ask me again?  sometime— doesn’t have to be today.  maybe tomorrow just.  ask me again.  ❞

❝  i know i can’t protect you from everything,  but i wish you’d let me protect you from the things i can control.  ❞

❝  i used to have so much faith.  maybe not in deities or something but,  in the world.  the universe.  i believed their was a purpose to it all.  i’m not sure when i lost that.  ❞

❝  have you ever had something…missing?  like something just doesn’t feel right inside you but you don’t know what it is.  ❞

❝  sometimes,  i just need the world to be beautiful.  i know how dark and ugly it can be but i just want to see something good and focus only on it for a few minutes.  ❞

❝  i was sort’ve hoping you needed me.  is that selfish?  ❞

❝  people need someone to see them for what they are and not just see it but accept it.  i want to be that person for anyone i can…but it can be so suffocating to be that person and also remain unseen.  ❞

❝  sometimes i feel i’m being crushed under the weight of everything i’ll never be.  ❞

❝  you’re looking at me but you’re not seeing me.  do you know how that feels?  just see me.  please.  ❞

❝  i want to deserve you.  i’m trying to deserve you.  ❞

❝  i know i fucked up.  i know i did but don’t shut me out anymore.  let me in.  please let in.  ❞

❝  every time you smile at me,  i memorize it.  i remember each moment that i get to be the one to bring out that light inside you.  no matter what happens between us,  that’s what i’ll remember.   ❞

❝  i can’t help but think there’s got to be something out there for me,  somewhere.  just some place where i actually feel like i belong.  ❞ 

❝  the world is so big.  why do i never feel like i fit into it?  ❞

❝  when i’m with you i feel like myself.  i feel like every side of me is present and accepted.  and i feel good about it—  i feel good about who i am when i’m with you.  ❞

❝  do you like me?  i know you love me.  i know you care about me but.  do you like who i am?  ❞

❝  i want to look in the mirror one day and not feel uncomfortable with my own reflection.  ❞

❝  just take my hand and close your eyes.  pretend we’re anywhere else but here.  ❞

❝  so,  what would you be?  if you had to power to change all the things making you unhappy,  what would your life look like?  ❞

❝  do you even know what it does to me?  every time i see you cry,  any time you’re hurt even the smallest bit it just— do you realize how deeply you’ve imbedded yourself into my heart?  ❞

❝  i don’t feel like a whole person without you anymore.  i don’t fucking care if anyone else would say about that.  you’re part of who i am now.  the most important piece of me.  ❞

❝  every time you walk away you take another piece of me with you.  ❞

❝  i’m only really living in the moments when we’re together.  the rest is just existing until you look at me again.  ❞

❝  it feels like there’s a string around my heart and it’s connected to you.  everywhere you go you’re just tugging me behind,  pulling me towards you.  ❞

❝  you’ve got me in the palm of your hands.  you could crush me and i would still thank you for touching me at all.  ❞

❝  i no longer know where i end and you begin.  you’ve wound yourself around my soul so tightly,  you’re all i feel anymore.  ❞

❝  you’ve stolen my heart,  the least you could do is tell me what you intend to do with it.  ❞

❝  i don’t have perfect words.  i’m not the kind of person who knows how to sound poetic and shit.  so all i know what to tell you is that i belong to you.  i don’t know if you want me.  but i’m yours.  and at this point however it is you need me,  i’m here.  ❞

❝  you’re the only thing that matters anymore.  i can’t eat,  i can’t sleep—  all the goddamn cliches from every stupid movie and song.  you’re all i think about.  i’m useless except when i’m yours.  ❞

❝  i haven’t stopped thinking about the way you laugh.  i’m hoping i’ll get to hear it again.  ❞

❝  when your eyes are on me,  i feel like something worth seeing.  ❞

❝  just let me look at you for a little bit.  ❞

❝  i would do anything for you.  all my lines and rules.  they mean nothing when it comes to you.  it’d cross and break them all just to make you happy.  ❞
