𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 , offering them such a part of you was one thing . but allowing them to bask in the light —– after so long with such isolating darkness , it was like a shock to the system . it was addicting ! in this instance he was gifted the taste of honey from her lips on his . the warmth radiating from her fingertips striking a chord of making him feel both at peace and suffocated . [ that was the most terrifying thing because in her presence , he didn’t feel homeless anymore ! ] being with her , it’s only likened in his mind to being ethereal . really it’s the closest he’ll ever get to heaven . he knew his place after life was the fiery depths of hell , and that was why this whole dance with her was so enticing .
theo had never thought he was anything special as just a human —- a huge reason as to why the doctors manipulation had been such a success . EVEN IF HE WASN’T ! but odette , she showed him that humanity , it was extraordinary . most importantly on her , it was beautiful . it makes him want to be better , to be good for her . so long had passed that he didn’t know how to be anything other than a monster . the gripping of her hands to steady herself , the way the breath is stolen from her by how truly fucking good it feels to finally escape the tension . for their lips to meet and become one . his own breath hitches , the heart that doesn’t belong to him is thudding so fast —— he’s thankful she can’t feel it . this is all beyond what he could have imagined , and in true theo fashion —— HE RUINS IT . it’s an act of survival , monster versus human , fight versus flight . running from the only good thing he’s had in debatably his whole life . lips linger on hers a little longer , and then he’s pulling back and letting his sapphire hues remain on her face . for a minute he finds some comfort in the silence , in the last minutes before destruction where he can be just theo . and then it’s gone with a quirk of his mouth into a smirk so smug , like a cat that got the cream . ‘ see , looks like i’m right . though i’m not complaining , hearing you whimper from that little mouth of yours because of me —– i think i’d like to hear more of you moaning my name , princess . ’
𝐴𝑁𝐷 𝑇𝐻𝐴𝑇'𝑆 𝑇𝐻𝐸 𝐷𝐼𝐹𝐹𝐸𝑅𝐸𝑁𝐶𝐸 ; odette , in her very human naiveté , saw the human before her . having known him so long made it easier to peel back the monster , the beast that brought chaos along every footstep . but maybe [ . . . ] maybe the monster has taken center stage , the beast itself wrapped around his humanity , 𝐒𝐔𝐅𝐅𝐎𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐓 , hiding it . and once again , odette wished she could beat this monster --------- the monster that lay down bombs in every step forward they make . that’s naive , odette . maybe even selfish . but god , how she longed it . for him ( and just him , not the beast that rots within ) . for just a moment , that longing was met ; and it felt wonderful . not only getting a reaction from him , one that matched her own , in such a beautiful , human way . but she could see the shield of the monster veil him once more , and in that moment , she herself felt her own being closing off , actively shadowing herself with frustration and annoyance . because that’s what we do , isn’t it ?
❝ you’re a dick , theo . ❞ with force , she pushed him away from her , creating the space between them that always seemed to return . one step forward , two steps back . and that hurt , even if she doesn’t know that fact herself quite yet . ❝ maybe they were right . . . ❞ a moment of hesistance . you’re not cruel , odette . normally a creature of control , of well thought out actions and words . but he strips her of all inhibition , thoughts warped into those of longing and lust , selfish wants and needs . of those which she can never have or be under the shadows of her family . ❝ maybe you just are the 𝖒𝖔𝖓𝖘𝖙𝖊𝖗 they make you out to be . ❞ although said with bitterness , she fills every space with airiness , much like the ease with which he self - destructs . back to the game .
