A Promise:
Sirentale Horror Sans X Reader
In which Horror makes an accidental all-binding promise, but can't bring himself to regret it.
~~~
"You jumped…"
Horror's once full and cocky eyelight, was now a small jittery dot within his socket. Gone was his smug confidence, replaced by shocked and confused awe. He knew you had to feel the tremble in his large, bony hands as he held you close to his chest. Not even his tentacles were immune, wrapping desperately around your body as if you would disappear at any moment. You simply smiled, water dripping from his failed attempt at catching you.
"You promised."
Those two words, though breathy and soft, pierced his soul with more weight than he would have ever fathomed. It sent electricity pulsing through every bone and limb. You weren't supposed to… He had thought he was calling your bluff, but instead, you had freely given yourself to the ocean, willingly pushing yourself closer to him.
You truly wanted him. Him. The one most dedicated to the deceitful game he and the others had made to lure you to your death. To bond with. To share such intimacy as to make and create a…
He couldn't understand.
Emotions he had long buried deep within his soul threatened to overwhelm him as he held you delicately to his chest. "You weren't— Ya, ya don't… I'm broken, the least worthy…"
He felt your gentle hands brush against the sides of his skull. Soft. Warm. Safer than they ever should be. Sensations he did not deserve.
"You were the only one willing. The only one who could promise me. Why are you so surprised that you would be the one I would choose to love? You promised me everything. All that you are, and all that you will be. There's nothing more that I could ever want than that."
Because he didn't think you meant it. Because he didn't think you were serious. Because after everything he and the others were planning, he was the least deserving of such love…
His body shook, the force of such a promise complete, already forming the bonding threads between them. There was no escaping it. And he wasn't sure he wanted to.
"You're stuck with me. You know that, right? There is no turning back. A promise made is a bond forged for life…" He could feel his eyelight wobble as his voice became little more than a whisper. "You are mine as much as I am yours."
The soft chuckle that left your lips was as soft as a breeze, yet powerful enough to send another round of lightning through his soul. "I wouldn't have it any other way."
With a stuttering breath, he felt his eyelight expand in its socket and form something other than an orb. It was strange and foreign, but he couldn't bring himself to care. Instead, his body moved on its own accord to place a palm on the back of your head. Then, bridging the gap, it was your turn to gasp as the magic surrounding and protecting his teeth pressed against your lips.
It was soft and gentle against your smaller form, moving in tandem one with another as you pressed further in to reciprocate. Cracking his jaw to cautiously make a swipe with his tongue, he couldn't hear over his own soul when you, in turn, opened for him.
Stars, the radiating heat it brought to the relentless cold...
Pulling back, he began to hum. It was not of malice, nor subjugation. But of hope. Of budding lasting love. It was soft and lulling, one you could easily break away from if you desired. One that was meant to show and ask for, trust. One his intent could speak louder than any spoken word.
And you listened. By the Angel, you listened.
Smiling, you leaned in close to breathe feathery kisses against his throat and chest. Even though you knew what was to come, what he was asking, you allowed yourself to be pulled and lulled. You gave yourself freely. And as the water flowed calmly over top of you, he could feel your soul sing back to join his song.
Forever.
Together.
…
For a second time, despite everything, Horror promised.
