+ TW : MURDER, DEATH, ASPHYXIATION ( STRANGULATION )
the boar writhes beneath him: lips blue, neck surely to bruise in ten streaks. it thrashes one, two, three times before sinking back into the mattress. its breath wavers, its gaze glazes over, but he knows this is not surrender. with the bit of strength it has, its grip tightens on his forearm, and the corners of its mouth widen to a devilish grin. the boar then whispers its final words: a wheezed and wounded i like your eyes.
it wants to taunt.
so be it.
he leans down next to its ear, smirk tugging on his own lips, and breathes a cruel farewell: “what a shame, i don’t like yours.” he draws up then, and in the same motion, lifts its neck ever so slightly before driving it back into mattress, hard. the grin fades, as does the twinkle of amusement in the boar’s eyes.
disgusting.
to be so accepting of death, to hold no fear in one’s gaze.
he climbs off the lifeless body, his feet hitting the ground with a soft thud. and that’s when he hears it: another thud. and another, and another. shit, the bitch is early.
the knob turns.
he slinks into space behind the door, his eyes narrowing. if he takes the bitch out, then it’ll be evident that there’s a third party involved in the murder. that’s risky. but it’s also risky to show his face. there’s absolutely no where he can hide in a split second, so he makes his decision.
the door creaks open.
he’s quick. the moment he catches glimpse of the intruder, he grabs their shoulder and shoves them against the wall, kicking the door close in the process. his left hand hastily collects their wrists, pinning them firmly against the spine, as his right reaches up to keep their forehead pressed hard into the wall. and it’s only then, when his body’s slotted against their back to hold them in place, does he realize it’s a guy.
his grip tightens.
“i’m only going to say this once. i will let you go, but you will stay in this position. if you move, if you make one sound, i will slit your throat. understood?”
