Let us be greedy together; let us hoard. ( for Sebastian )
// @cfmort
breath hitches as lips curl and there is a WICKEDNESS in the curve of your smile– a sharpness that could tear anyone else asunder. but not him– never him. he has NEVER broken beneath the dark of your soul, the viciousness you keep guarded, keep shielded from the rest of the world.
( he has never shied away from it. only ever encouraged, fanned the flame. )
and while you do all you can– intended to make BETTER choices this time around, there is no denying who you are. and who you are is SELFISH and greedy and someone who does not have the ability to be calm in your desires once they have become fixed and clear in your mind.
fingertips drum along cold surface of table top before you lean more fully against it, arms braced as eyes shift, dancing over plans and words and ideas spread across the table.
“and who could possibly oppose us? who can compare to our power?”
( and never again, will anyone hurt you. will anyone even come close. )

huff escapes as you look across the room-- watery reflections causing that usual, beautiful green glow but there is something more to it. the late winter sky above the lake so clear, starlight pierces through and for a flash, you are back in time. an old friend stands across from you, refusing to yield. and so much is lost. too much. the pain of remembering is too real, and so for a brief moment, the past three months have faded away. anger, frustration and hurt is replaced only with a need for closeness. a need for connection. to not be so painfully alone. to not feel the coldness of having nobody that understands you. the pain of missing him, finally eclipses the need to hurt. and you will not make the same mistakes again. in a moment, floor is crossed and with graceful ease, you come to sit on the arm of the chair, swivel around until feet come to rest in his lap and your head rests against the chair. eyes dart down over his book, his face for a second, and then down to your own book.

cfmort-a·:
SATISFACTION IS A THRUM WITHIN YOUR BONES / heady weight to which you succumb , and each breath feels as carbon to the oxygen it consumes , fire to the ashes it creates and you have grasped at flesh so torn it bled into the seeds of your palm , the echo of your soul ( shattered segments of a life once lived you would not return your choices . but he lingers in the corner of your vision , the fickle segments of your seams like water lilies who have forgotten how to breathe ── he is yours . as the sky to the sun and the earth to the moon and your core to the wood it created )
you lean forward in your chair , elbows placed upon the surface of your desk as your hands fold together ; brittle lull in the silence as you stare . as you ── smile ( like venom through fangs and poison through blood and how sharp you will your kindness to be , how searing ) .
❛ hello , sebastian . ❜
and how your eyes gleam in fascination , the way children dismantle insects if only to see how they break ( rook to pawn and knight to king ; checkmate ) .
say softly , ❛ what a pleasant surprise this is . i hardly thought i’d see you again after you decided to leave . ❜
there is an ACHE within set deep within you, a pain that burns you to the core, that reaches out in a desperation to ignite everything in its path—determined to destroy you. but you know, you KNOW you cannot let it. falling to your knees is never something you have been permit. two lifetimes, and still you do not know peace. KNOW that while he has them, while he keeps vicious grasp on those you love, that you will not rest, will not know calm—the ache will remain.
( but you wonder—is this ache entirely born out of familial love? is it just for your sisters? or has it been there ever since that day you turned your back on him? has the chasm now filled with fire been getting deeper and deeper since the moment you left his side? it is not a thought you can ever stomach. )
brow twitches, the smallest break in the façade that you quickly cover—stand taller, back straighter. if living with that woman ever taught you one thing, it’s how to keep composure when inside you are falling apart. and oh—how easily he breaks you. how less than whole you have felt in the years since you parted. every day, a constant effort you loathe to even consider is truth.
head tilts and you take a breath before stepping forward—refuse to show fear, even when he holds all the pieces in the palm of his hand.
“well, darling. you surely should have known i couldn’t stay away forever. there is just nobody else who plays games with me as well as you.” and what you mean is—you have me, you own me, you know the deeper parts of me and can play me like strings. what you mean is—i hate you, i hate that you know exactly where to press, what to take. what you mean is—i love you, i have loved you so deeply it tears my soul to admit.

Do not leave me, swear that you will never leave me. ( nagini )
GOLD CONSUMES YOUR WAKING MOMENTS / the thought of chains upon silken jewels , a BALANCE of blood and skin , there is no crown that would settle so heavenly atop darkened strands than the weight of your HERITAGE held like star fire beneath flickered palms . you think these are the steps to bridge the gap across molten throne and OH , how you would dismantle it . raise your own in mirror image if only to see it through .
( how soul is not thing but redeemable part ── expendable SHARDS whose seams could never find the will to break ) .
she has been your constant , the breath which drew the air and your lungs are EMPTIED at the sight of her , hiss of words against pallor chest , you WONDER if your heart beats in time with her motions . and how could you turn your back on the one you deem equal , she who lay beside you when bombs filtered the air like crystal glass edges and your ears BLED with the fear of it .
she ( who is SUPERIOR to hairless apes which grovel at the sight of gods / divinity without form ) . you reach out hand . brush your fingers lightly over the scales of her face , line of her neck , gentle STRUM of movement as you tilt head , feel satisfaction brim in centre rib as you murmur , ❛ i pity the fool who dares try and take me from you , nagini . ❜

' do be quiet , Sebastian . I can barely hear myself think . ' ( cfmort - IM SORRY TOM IS A SHIT )
slurping sounds // @cfmort
gaze lifts from where you had been casually reading through notes for history of magic– because really, what need did you have for this class? what need did you have to REALLY put any effort in, or pay attention? you walked through such an important part of history– and then very quickly spent years of this life playing catch up due to a selfish need to understand what your past acts shaped.
so naturally– your interest in the work was only ever going to be CASUAL.
the distracted humming inevitable.
the SLURPING from the glass in your hand? not so much.
a smirk fills your lips as you glance over to him, brow raised before you hum once more, slouching back into your seat and bringing glass back to lips. “i’m sorry. is the great tom riddle unable to rise to a challenge? i thought you were better than that, tom. how is it possible that little ole me is possibly causing such a problem?”

I have no intention of living out my life as a literal parasite. Pathetic, burrowing, semi-human tick.

my mother looks at me & sees my father’s mistakes (plural noun; fragmented families don’t know how to coexist). my father looks at me & sees everything i used to be (noun: innocent & soft hearted). my brother looks at me & sees the worst of my parents (verb; shaking, hurting, burning); he looks at me & sees the only thing in our family that might get out alive. i look at myself & see a monster (noun; blood hands & a venomous mouth & a failing heart).
and i’ve failed them all ; p.v.s. (via sarchengseys)
