life in death

[inspirelove-causefear]

soooo~ you and Sammy huh? 😏😏😏😏

(This is playful trust.)

" Me and Sammy... what? He is a good friend, if that's what you mean. "

[inspirelove-causefear]

“ Hennnss!! Lemme paint your nails!! “

* Sammy almost collapses on top of Henry, a giddy smile on his face combined with a frantic reach for one of his hands promises a great amount of chaos in what should be a relaxing activity. *

~ @sammy-d-cipher

* Henry yelps, pulling his hand away in hesitation. It's clear the creature has almost no idea what his friend is talking about. *

" Why would you want to do that? "

[sammy-d-cipher]

“ Cause it’ll look pretty! “

* Sammy moves back, in his other hand is a bottle of black nail polish. His own nails are painted white. *

“ Cmonnn! “

[inspirelove-causefear]

* Henry sighs, looking at his hands. His nails are short and uneven, like he's been biting them. *

" Okay, okay. "

[sammy-d-cipher]

* Sammy squeals dragging Henry around until they make it to a spot in the forest near a waterfall, a creek and some other random things. *

“ Hang out here all the time. “

* Sammy sits down, pulling Henry close as he grabs his hand and opens up the polish. Taking his time with each nail. *

[inspirelove-causefear]

* Henry admires the concentration on Sammy's face before realizing he's staring, diverting his attention to the scenery around them. *

" It's quiet out here. "

[sammy-d-cipher]

“ Huh, yeah, guess it is. “

* Sammy looks up from what he’s doing, then grabs Henry’s other hand, painting his nails on that one. *

“ You’re pretty. “

[inspirelove-causefear]

* The creature's discolored skin flushes pink for a moment. What is this feeling? *

" Thank you... You're quite pretty yourself. "

* He manages to stutter out, unable to look up from his hands. *

[sammy-d-cipher]

* Sammy chuckles, once he finishes the nails he takes Henry’s cheek in his hand. Tilting up his face so they would be able to make eye contact. *

“ You’re so sweet, I could eat you up! “

* Sammy sticks out two..? Tongues, they’re completely gray and oddly shaped. *

[inspirelove-causefear]

* Henry can't help but stare. It might seem rude, but he finds him so beautiful... He laughs nervously at the comment, responding in a quieter voice. *

" Please don't eat me. "

[sammy-d-cipher]

“ Mm.. I couldn’t, would miss ya too much. “

* Sammy’s tongue’s extend and hit Henry on the nose, then go back into his mouth. *

“ Cool huh? I have five of em! “

[inspirelove-causefear]

* Henry nods, still unable to look away. *

" Very cool. I've only got one. "

* He sticks out his tongue, which is forked and purple, almost similar to that of a snake. *

[sammy-d-cipher]

“ Hah! My dad’s is forked too! “

* Sammy reaches out, just for a second before pulling his hand back. Just barely you can see his cheeks go pink. *

“ You busy today? “

[inspirelove-causefear]

* The creature smiles, his tongue going back into his mouth. *

" I'm never busy. "

[sammy-d-cipher]

“ EEEEE-! “

* Sammy wraps his arms around Henry’s neck, face smushed against his chest. *

[inspirelove-causefear]

* Henry's face flushes pink yet again at the sudden closeness, his arms awkwardly wrapping around the other. This is nice. *

[sammy-d-cipher]

“ You’re red Hens. “

* Sammy reaches up, pinching Henry’s face. His fingers are discomforting, the burns and charr disfiguring them. *

[inspirelove-causefear]

" I am? "

* He brings his hand up to rest over Sammy's, pressing it down to hold his face. He likes the feeling. *

* It takes him a moment to realize what he's doing before he brings his hand back down to rest by his side. *

" Sorry... "

[sammy-d-cipher]

“ No, its.. its okay. “

* Sammy sits up, both hands now cupping Henry’s face. Sammy leans closer, a smile playing on his face. *

“ Its… “

[inspirelove-causefear]

" It's... what? "

* Henry's face is still as red as ever, eyes fixated on Sammy. He practically melts in the other's hold. *

[inspirelove-causefear]

“ Hennnss!! Lemme paint your nails!! “

* Sammy almost collapses on top of Henry, a giddy smile on his face combined with a frantic reach for one of his hands promises a great amount of chaos in what should be a relaxing activity. *

“ AHHA! Got youuuuuuu ~! “

*Henry, startled, yelps quietly before letting out a quick laugh.*

"That you did, friend."

*He pushes himself, and Sammy, off the ground, brushing off his clothing.*

[sammy-d-cipher]

* Sammy seems very proud of himself, smiling with all of his sharp teeth. *

“ Want to go cause chaos with me? I like disrupting people’s normal days with my bull shit! “

[inspirelove-causefear]

*The creature thinks for a moment before shrugging.*

" Why not? "

[sammy-d-cipher]

“ Sweet! “

* Sammy grabs Henry’s hand, dragging him around to wherever the hell he wants. He seems to have no particular idea where he’s going or what he even wants to do. *

[inspirelove-causefear]

*The creature doesn't mind the lack of order, he just enjoys being close to the other. After being lonely for so long, he appreciates any company, no matter how unorderly.*

" So... how does one cause chaos? "

[inspirelove-causefear]

* Sammy sneaks up behind Henry, then tackles him to the floor. *

“ AHHA! Got youuuuuuu ~! “

[inspirelove-causefear]

* Sammy tugs on your shirt. *

“ Whats up loser, wanna go bite shit with me? “

*The creature's face immediately brightens.*

"Of course! Wait- Bite shit?"

[sammy-d-cipher]

* Sammy flashes a smile, grabbing what looks like a rubber crystal hanging loosely around his neck and chews on it between words. *

“ Yeah, my teeth hurt a lot cause they’re so sharp. I bite stuff to help. Wanna join me Hens? “

[inspirelove-causefear]

" Interesting... Ok! "

*The creature's teeth are awfully sensitive, but does he know that? No he does not.*

[inspirelove-causefear]

* Sammy tugs on your shirt. *

“ Whats up loser, wanna go bite shit with me? “

*The creature's face immediately brightens.*

"Of course! Wait- Bite shit?"

[inspirelove-causefear]

* S T A R E *

I always have this weird feeling that someone is watching me...

Perhaps it is only paranoia.

[sammy-d-cipher]

“ Nah, just me. I got bored and they put me on early bedtime so I snuck out. What ya doin? “

* Sammy grins, showing off his sharp teeth. *

[inspirelove-causefear]

' Sharp teeth, eh? Interesting. '

" Just... taking a stroll. "

[sammy-d-cipher]

“ Be careful. The things out here will maul you. “

* Sammy chuckles, lightheartedly but he’s not joking. He lolls his head to the side and his smile stops. *

“ Say, whats your name? “

[inspirelove-causefear]

' Maul..? '

" My name? Well, I've been called many things. My personal favorite, however, is Henry. "

[sammy-d-cipher]

“ Mhm? Henry. “

* Sammy taps his foot and leans against the wet bark of the nearest tree. He checks his nails. His fingers blackened and covered in burns. *

“ Mhhm. Good name, you sound like a Henry! “

[inspirelove-causefear]

" I sound like a Henry? "

*The creature looks confused- how could one sound like a name? Despite that, he takes in the appearance of the other, which is quite fascinating.*

" And your name? "

[sammy-d-cipher]

“ Huh? Oh. Sam, everyone calls me Sammy though. My uncle calls me a freeloader! “

* He laughs, pushing his bangs temporarily out of his face. His eyes aren’t visible in the short time, but a long scar along his forehead was. He stares at Henry for a second, before sighing. *

[inspirelove-causefear]

" Sammy... what a beautiful name! "

*He seems to watch the other's every move intently, wanting nothing more than to build a connection with this being.*

[sammy-d-cipher]

* Sammy hums. Then disappears unceremoniously, then reappears right next to Henry. *

“ Thanks! I named myself! “

[inspirelove-causefear]

" How exciting! My creator chose Henry, though he called me some other names- Demon, hell-spawn, monster... Y'know, family things! "

*The creature seems enthralled by Sammy's abilities, beginning to grow fond of him.*

[sammy-d-cipher]

“ You’re talkative, huh? “

* Sammy smiles, one of his teeth sticking out from his top lip slightly. He begins to walk off, motioning for Henry to follow him. *

[inspirelove-causefear]

*The creature follows eagerly, a slight limp in his step.*

"Ah, I apologize- It's just been quite a while since I've talked to another."

[sammy-d-cipher]

* Sammy shrugs, treading through with no trouble. His shoes are velcro.. he grabs a pocket knife from his well.. pocket. Then begins to carve his name into a tree. Being careful not to accidentally cut himself. *

“ You want one too? “

* He asks Henry, turning to face him. *

[inspirelove-causefear]

*Henry fidgets with his hands, looking at the tree.*

" Does it hurt it? "

[sammy-d-cipher]

“ Haah? Oh… nah, its just a tree. “

* He carves ‘HENRY’ into the bark, then flips his knife away. Shuffling forward and kicking rocks. *

[inspirelove-causefear]

" But it's alive, is it not? "
