her chest vibrated as a laughter bubbled inside of her. childish and taunting , like a child begging to be punished. it was so easy , riling up her boys. so easy && pleasant. ‘ oh , you’ll see ! ’ it was almost sang , fingers finding a home on the railing of the stairs. nestor. viktor. && now michael.
the giggle escaped her , high pitched as her vessel’s soft hand attached itself to the brother’s forearm. a pleasant surprise , to be met by such a vulnerable side of him. temptation coursed through her veins to claw at his skin until the ruby river ran. but this girl was so fragile , she was almost certain she’d break if she strained herself. she loved her boys , yes she did. but it was a different kind of love. a love a mother could ONLY hope to give her children. a love that twisted and bent , broke and changed her boys. perhaps too much. perhaps she had loved them a little too much.
she tightens her grip on his robe covered arms , moving in between , approaching closer. like a cat approaching the mouse. she almost had him , fingers playing with the sharp edge of his jaw. ‘ now , is that how you speak to a lady , my little songbird ? ’ that little name of his - one she used often when he grew up. her SONGBIRD. ‘ play me a song. ’ a mocking statement. a PLEAD for him to act.
not nearly as AGGRESSIVE as the others, he recoils on cue. those eyes of cyan glisten in awe, melancholic & insecure, vulnerabilities at display, slender digits drop to his side. searching for GALAXIES beyond reach, mournful gaze cast to the floor, deaf silence hungry & consuming, swallows each gap between syllables. ❛ i see... ❜ musing aloud in hushed whispers, he doesn’t look up until a LOUD thud ! screams for attention.
❛ step away from her. ❜ there’s a HOLE in the wall & blood dripping from bruised knuckles, hostility molding his posture, arched back & creased brow. michael understands --- much as he loathes pointless violence, but he’s also got more than one reasons not to allow for this to ESCALATE.
❛ what a pain --- ❜ michael LAUNCHES just in time, yanking her by the arm & throwing the serpentine behind him, nimble fingers clutch tightly at the other’s wrists. he’s faster, but viktor’s determined. ❛ damn you--- ❜ the blonde seethes through gritted teeth. ❛ viktor... i know you like her... don’t let that woman force your hand. ❜
