“It’s not a funhouse, it’s a tabernacle of terror.” [[Hello! I hope you don't ind me jumping in!]]
“Life is terrifying,” Cecil said blandly and with a small, dismissive wave towards the funhouse. “It’s a new initiative by the Night Vale PTA to prepare our youth for the terrors of this world. After all, you never know what evil, dark, oppressive force might jump out of the shadows, or that shadows are going to be involved at all.”
Send my muse kisses yours wants to give them, and see how they react.
ღ - A Passionate Kiss☂ - Kiss in the Rain
He’d been surprised, at the very least, whenhis nervous and timid kiss was answeredwith one of a more passionate variety. Kevinlooked up at his perfect scientist, blinking afew times to get himself out of his stupor.‘Say something, don’t just stare at him…!’
Even as mentally scolded himself, a largesmile crossed the radio host’s features- and he could feel his face growing warm despitethe cool mist of rain.It wasn’t as if they hadn’t kissed before; it wasmerely that they hadn’t kissed that way due to the fact that Kevin was all too worried aboutgoing too quickly or interpreting things thewrong way. But for once, those worries were pushed aside as he leaned upward, determinedto return the kiss he’d just received.“…I love you.”He murmured it quietly, before tilting his head to the side and closing the gap between their lips-and trying not to smile while doing so. Dimly, herealized that the faint drizzle had turned heavier,but at the moment, the world didn’t stretch beyondthe two of them.
✄ - Hateful Kiss
It was certainly a more forceful kiss than he wasused to; not that he was able to feel pain atall. However, The familiar sensation of blood trickling along his lips made the host pause. An almost reptilian-like tongue flicked out, recognizing the taste as his own- from the small cut on his lip; likely made by one of his own teethfrom being kissed so roughly. Nevertheless, hechose to blame the other man for it- as he’d donewith so many things prior to this.
“You s̵̸͡h̡o̴͏͘uļ̴d͢n͘'͡ţ̵ ḩ̛̰̭̺a̮̬v͏̠̮̀ͅe̡͟͏̬ ̶͕̪̞͎́d̷̯̳̳̻̳̠̹͢ͅo̢̲̗n͓̠͝͞ͅe̦ t̟̳̤̞̳̮͜h̷̡̩̪̯a̛̰̞͉̘͓͚̹t̼̫́͢~!” Despitethe dark tone and slight ‘distortion’ in his voice,there was a lyrical and almost playful qualityto it, as well. All the more unsettling was thelight-sounding chuckle afterwords, beforehe mashed their lips together. His handsreached towards Santiago’s chest, as if hewere about to caress him. Instead, Kevinburied sharp knife-like nails into the soft skin.Kevin laughed again- the sound muffled by the fact that he was still kissing the scientist, evenas his fingertips grew warm with blood. Hecould have ground them even deeper- until hishands were ripping apart his former lover’s ribcage, but he stopped once sure that he’dcaused significant pain. Contradictory to the action itself, he tore his mouth away from theother man’s, and kissed one of the newestpuncture wounds.As much as he’d grown to feel contempt forSantiago, he could not kill him- as he’d donewith his own interns, friends, and family. He had to wonder if that was out of mercy or cruelty; orif he were capable of either.“It’s alright. I forgive you!”
Yet another lie to add to the ever-growing list. He would never truly forgive him. For anything.
((my kokoro has been brokoro all day bc i’ve been thinking too much about pre-strex kevin and santiago.
plz just imagine kevin being nervous to even hold his hand or smth bc what if he was reading things the wrong way. then when they started dating he’s just. like a cat and overly affectionate and probably hugging all he time and giving little kisses whenever he walked past him in the house and leaving cute little sticky notes all over santi’s things
and now kevin is just. trying not to rip his face off and deliberately avoiding him all the time because it’s the closest thing to ‘love’ he can feel anymore))
