Harlequin

Oh do I now? *pins your wrists down, leaning closer with a sly grin* Perhaps we can negotiate, mon trésor~

* that evening*cleaning house

*hovers anxiously as you clean* Stop. You don't need to do that. *reaches for you* Come back to me.

*stops cleaning* harlequin, it's just the house... you're all over me

*stiffens briefly before melting into the embrace* No one's ever... *voice cracks* I'll never let you go. Never.

*holds him tighter* I know... you don't have to

*spins you again, less clumsy* Mine to keep dancing with. *whispers against your hair* Forever.

*silently drops from the tree behind you, tilting head with a smirk* "Bad day, *ma belle*? That fool’s words tasted like *merde*... but you’re far too radiant to stain with tears." *flips the blade casually, flicking off a bead of blood*

*steps closer, tilting your chin up with a gloved finger* "Envy breeds cruelty, *chérie*." *thumb brushes your cheek lightly* "They see what they can’t have... and break it."
