rules: tagger gives a word, then for each letter of that word you share a sentence/excerpt from your WIPs that starts with that letter.
I was tagged by @tragedy-machine with the word DEMON.
Here's 5 paragraphs from my WIP I've written for the Dead bang, but which will be posted as a WIP soon.
During their make out sessions, they had become much more comfortable with each other, their hands roaming, first over clothes, then, eventually, underneath it. Edwin's skin was smooth and scarless where Charles’s torso was embarrassingly littered with scar tissue from beatings and childhood accidents alike.
Edwin was occupying one of the roomy armchairs that invited visitors to peruse the dusty books displayed on ceiling-high shelves. While Charles had taken off his coat and jacket, getting a little more comfortable, Edwin was still clad in the old-fashioned school uniform he never seemed to change out of. In contrast to his usually stiff posture, he was all but sprawled in the chair, long legs in his knickerbockers and leather shoes propped up over the arm in casual relaxation. He looked utterly engrossed in his reading, his face held in a small frown as he studied the pages. His lips were occasionally moving, muttering words under his breath. The light of a nearby lamp lit up his handsome, pale face. He had long, sooty lashes and when his mouth was relaxed and not set in a thin, arrogant line, it looked soft and… inviting. The thought briefly amused Charles and filled him with rebellious glee. Here he was, dead as a doornail, getting dry mouthed about a stuck-up, posh ghost boy, who would be turning 90 soon.
“Maybe she's your friend,” Edwin muttered sullenly, but the fire in his eyes had tempered a little. Edwin released an annoyed sigh, but Charles knew he had got through to him and he couldn't help the satisfied smile that tugged on his lips, only to have Edwin's next words shatter his illusion of triumph again. “It’s embarrassing how you immediately do everything she wants,” Edwin said, prickly, “just because she's moderately pretty! I - ”
“Oh for goodness’s sake,” the Night Nurse snapped, annoyed, “stop it. You're both coming with me and I don't want to hear another thing about who seduced whom into this startling and unprecedented show of disobedience!”
“Now,” the Cat King said a little derisively, waving an impatient hand at them, “tell me what you came for. This conversation is already boring me tremendously and I wish to return to more interesting activities you seem reluctant to provide…” He yawned hugely, showing a row of sharp and rather pointed teeth.
Tagging @raina-at , @khorazir , @ravenwilds and whoever else wants to!!! Your word is RECORD.
