❛ come to me. ❜

❛ a guardian angel. a spirit of comfort. spirit of any celestial sphere. anything. hear my call. ❜

❛ you wakened me from an eternity of darkness. ❜

❛ you are not for the living. you are not for human kind. ❜

❛ and shall you be one with me ever-eternally? ❜

❛ come here. there’s nothing to be afraid of. ❜

❛ i wish i could stay, my love. ❜

❛ why have you killed these beautiful flowers? ❜

❛ i must tell you my dream. ❜

❛ i’d never been so happy as that moment… as i held hands with death. ❜

❛ i wish you to have all you deserve. ❜

❛ you mustn’t leave. i love you too much. ❜

❛ i will stay with you until you are fast asleep. ❜

❛ uh, forgive me. i only wish to stay one night. ❜

❛ by god’s name, never speak of that castle. ❜

❛ i banish you, i banish you with garlic. ❜

❛ beware of his shadow. ❜

❛ the shadow covers you in a nightmare. ❜

❛ you are late. the midnight hour has passed. ❜

❛ i wish you to do as i request. ❜

❛ i will be addressed as the honor of my blood demands it.❜

❛ speak not of it again! ❜

❛ take heed what you do. ❜

❛ i might ease your wound. ❜

❛ come by the fire. ❜

❛ your face shows you unwell. ❜

❛ do you ever feel at times as if you were not… as if you were not a person? ❜

❛ look at the sky. look at the sea. does it never call to you, urge you? ❜

❛ you are fortunate in your love. ❜

❛ now are we neighbors. ❜

❛ it is late. you must wish to retire. ❜

❛ i have been enduring the most irregular dreams. i fear i am taken ill. ❜

❛ it is a black omen to journey in poor health. you will remain and well rest yourself. ❜

❛ dream of me. only me. ❜

❛ oh, he’s coming to me. ❜

❛ i cannot resist you, my love. ❜

❛ i am no one. i am his servant. ❜

❛ look, this is a pretty one. his lordship likes the pretty ones… ❜

❛ you are lost in his shadow. ❜

❛ soon i will no longer be a shadow to you. ❜

❛ soon our flesh shall embrace and we shall be as one. ❜

❛ i have not failed your lordship! ❜

❛ embrace me, my boy. i am so rejoiced to see you. ❜

❛ my dear creature, yes, i am he, and i am hither come to help you. ❜

❛ my dreams grow darker. ❜

❛ does evil come from within us or from beyond? ❜

❛ i shall persist to join you every night… first in sleep, then in your arms. ❜

❛ everything will be mixed with abomination, and you’ll be knee-deep in blood. ❜

❛ you are promised to me! ❜

❛ i will end this plague. this devil. ❜

❛ he hasn’t found you. ❜

❛ i feared i’d never see you again. ❜

❛ you shall crave of me nothing. ❜

❛ the bells of dawn shall toll in despair of my coming. and i shall taste of you. ❜

❛ pray, forgive me for all the troubles i have caused you. ❜

❛ i am only glad you have become yourself again. ❜

❛ may i… stay with you tonight? ❜

❛ this creature is a force more powerful than evil. it is death itself. ❜

❛ i have seen things in this world that would’ve made isaac newton crawl back into his mother’s womb. ❜

❛ i have wrestled with the devil as jacob wrestled the angel in peniel. ❜

❛ if we are to tame darkness, we must first face that it exists. ❜

❛ i have felt you crawling like a serpent in my body. ❜

❛ love is inferior to you. ❜

❛ i told you, you are not of humankind. ❜

❛ i am an appetite. nothing more. ❜

❛ i lay within the darkest pit. till you did wake me, enchantress, and stirred me from my grave. ❜

❛ you are my affliction. ❜

❛ i care nothing of your afflictions. ❜

❛ yet even now we are fated. ❜

❛ your passion is bound to me. ❜

❛ you cannot love. ❜

❛ yet i cannot be sated without you. ❜

❛ remember how once we were? ❜

❛ i abhor you. ❜

❛ i will leave you three nights. tonight was the first. ❜

❛ tonight you denied yourself, and thereby, you suffer me to vanish up the lives of those you love. ❜

❛ you revel in my torture. ❜

❛ upon the third night, you will submit, or he you call your husband shall perish by my hand. ❜

❛ till you bid me come shall you watch the world become as naught. ❜

❛ tell me, what is this insufferable darkness? ❜

❛ nothing you can say will shake me, for there is a devil in this world, and i have met him. ❜

❛ i’ve brought this evil upon us. ❜

❛ i sought company. i sought… tenderness, and i called out. ❜

❛ at first, it was sweet. i had never known such bliss. yet it turned to torture. ❜

❛ it was you that gave me the courage to be free of my shame. ❜

❛ he took me as his lover then, and now he has come back. ❜

❛ all my sleeping thoughts are of him every night. ❜

❛ don’t touch me! i am not to be touched. ❜

❛ i’ll be good. i promise. ❜

❛ you could never please me as he could. ❜

❛ yes! take me! ❜

❛ kiss me. kiss my heart. ❜

❛ let him see. let him see our love. ❜

❛ without you, i will become a demon. ❜

❛ you’re safe with me. ❜

❛ keep away from me. i am unclean. ❜

❛ he will murder you if i do not go to him. ❜

❛ kill him i will. he shall never harm you again. ❜

❛ i can weep no longer, for i have no more tears to shed. ❜

❛ the grim reaper wields his heavy scythe with every change of wind. ❜

❛ the monster left you to the wolves, yet you prevailed. ❜

❛ his pull to me is so powerful, so terrible, yet my spirit cannot be evil as his. ❜

❛ we must know evil to be able to destroy it. ❜

❛ you are our salvation. ❜

❛ i bid you, come to me. ❜

❛ your oath re-pledged. so too shall be our flesh. you are mine. ❜

cont'd ⭐︎ @eternalcharm ft. zhao lianhua

Cheng Xiaoshi sat beside Lianhua, careful not to disrupt her from her sulking. Despite the glumness that dusted her delicate features, she looked comfortable. Without saying a word, he gently brushed back a few strands of her hair. It was a soft gesture, one he hoped comforted Lianhua for at least a moment. His blunt nails lightly grazed against the soft fur of her ears as his hand left her hair. They were quite lovely and Cheng Xiaoshi itched to touch them every time he could.

“I… I was…” He opened and closed his mouth, cutting himself off while he fought the urge to disagree. She was right though. He was going to bring it up, tease her and hopefully lighten her mood.

He gave up on trying to deny what he was definitely going to do. “Who says you can’t! I am here and ready to entertain, m’lady.” He needed attention or he’d wilt away like a forgotten flower. “Pester away.~” She wasn’t the only one unhappy with the rain. They could keep each other company for a bit.

[eternalcharm]

Lianhua  found  it  endearing  that  Cheng  Xiaoshi  was  willing  to  be  a  source  of  entertainment  to  cure  her  boredom.  After  all,  she  also  thrived  off  of  attention,  and  too  long  without  it  could  have  dire  consequences!  This  could  prove  to  be  mutually  beneficial.  Her  ears  perked  up  as  if  sensing  the  subtle  change  in  mood,  expression  now  slightly  hopeful  while  she  shifted  a  little  closer.

"Hm...well,  if  you  insist."  Her  head  tilted  towards  Xiaoshi  and  plopped  gracefully  against  his  shoulder,  a  way  of  silently  attempting  to  goad  him  into  giving  her  more  attention.

"Tell  me  then,  how  do  you  usually  spend  rainy  days?  They're  too  dreary!  I  wasn't  able  to  take  my  usual  morning  walk  and  now  my  day  feels  all  out  of  sorts."  Too  much  time  inside  drove  the  poor  woman  stir  crazy,  alas,  the  last  thing  she  needed  was  to  be  soaked  to  the  bone  in  the  rain.  It  was  one  of  the  downsides  of  the  seasons  getting  warmer:  the  occasional  gloomy,  stormy  days  that  kept  her  from  enjoying  the  sunshine  she  enjoyed.

[heartbloomd]

continued : @eternalcharm !

And there it is, folks: the one topic he absolutely cannot be honest about! Akane chuckles in response to her huff, head tilted in a way that causes the earring to dangle further. Idly, he wonders if Lianhua can sense the magic imbued within it, however carefully its created tried to disguise any trace of it, and if that's what drives her curiosity. But the contract seal and the blood magic used to create it are taboo, suffice to say; he also just doesn't like to admit that he's a wild fox kept on a tight leash.

"It matches my eyes perfectly, doesn't it?" On the bright side, he's not stuck with an ugly piece of jewelry on constant display. "Ah... you're right, though, that there's more to it—-it doubles as a protective charm."

Not a lie, since it's what keeps him alive when his frail health would've failed him years ago otherwise.

Lianhua  raises  a  brow  at  the  rather  tactful  answer,  but  accepts  it  regardless  with  a  thoughtful  hum.  She  can't  expect  Akane  to  give  her  all  of  the  answers  right  away,  of  course!  At  the  very  least,  she's  satisfied  that  he  didn't  attempt  to  blatantly  fib,  whether  out  of  his  own  personal  interest  or  because  he  understood  how  quickly  she  might  catch  on,  she's  uncertain.  Her  keen  senses  did  pick  up  on  the  magic  imbued  within  the  jewelry  after  all,  along  with  the  underlying  sense  of  taboo;  while  it  drives  her  curiosity  to  new  heights,  she  knows  better  than  to  pry  so  overtly.

"I  figured  as  much.  Although  I  do  have  the  sneaking  suspicion  that  you're  leaving  something  left  unsaid..."  The  sigh  that  follows  is  played  up  for  dramatics,  as  if  she's  personally  taken  offense—  she  cannot  resist  toying  with  Akane  just  a  little. 

"You're  correct  about  it  matching  your  eyes,  however;  it's  quite   lovely."

admit it. you're in love with me.

if only i had someone to go out with...

a date would be really nice right about now.

i might reconsider if you bring me flowers.

were you being serious back there?

did you just try to impress me?

was that another joke, or were you telling the truth?

we agreed that if no one asked us, we'd go together.

keep telling yourself that!

here it comes! the big love confession i've been waiting for!

you visited me in my dreams last night.

i'm allergic to tickling.

they said we'd make a cute couple. can you believe that?
