THIS MONSTER IS BIRTHED FROM EVILS , THE BLOOD BENEATH HIS CLAWS FROM THE SOULLESS & HUMAN. BUT THERE IS SOMETHING WITHIN THIS CREATURE LYING DORMANT : A MURDER, A HYMN, AND AN ALTRUISM.
vere learns that trust is myth and fable cursed, but there is glory to be found beneath it all-- the violence and sanguine a wretchedness intertwined with exhilaration that serves as reminder of one's true form. he swallows hard, the collar around his neck too tight yet not tight enough-- a known presence that will be a haunting until the end of days, a punishment in existence, a dreadful binding to fate deserved and undeserved.
the little proximity between your bodies is too close a recollection of first encounters; you fight the urge to shrink away, pride on the verge of vanquish, nerves frayed.
"what have you done," your fear ever so present in a whisper, "to be bound like this?"
something flickers in vere's eyes : disgust, hatred, cold fury. it sparks, ignites, but dies in moment's notice, replaced with utter amusement. he reaches out to you, finger curled under your chin, forcefully tilts your head upwards. he wonders what is worse : your curse or naivety? it doesn't matter, he thinks; they will both end in your demise.
"does it make you sad, this leash?" his words are gentle yet taunting, seductive and heavy with warning. he leans closer, lips brushing against your ear. "don't be. not even that will save you from being torn apart by me."

SOLITUDE AND LONELINESS ARE NOT OF IMPORTANCE IN A LIFE DEPLORABLE, THE OUTCAST'S HEART OBSOLETE AND WORN ON ONE'S SLEEVE.
mhin is desperate, heart pounding in desire for answers. how daunting the senobium is-- the answer, the solution, the cure. how many days has it been since they've been here, stuck in endless loop, sanity slowly slipping? you share the same goal, the gaining of entry to a place mysterious and despised, but you are too persistent, too unreadable, and they hate it.
"i need you, mhin." your words are clear, straight to the point, but there is an edge to them that is desperate and wanting.
they blink, eyes wide for a split second before they shift their gaze elsewhere. the red that blossoms on their face is too endearing, but you keep focus, speak up once more.
"you need me, too." your skin burns, fingertips etched with an aching. "please, mhin. we can work together, find some way in. that's all i need."
silence. they do not dare look at you, scowl on their face nearly muscle memory at this point.
"obnoxious." a sharpness that fails to match with one's flustered gaze. "fine. i won't help you after this."
nothing good will come from this ; something foreign burrows in their chest, warns them of a future to come.
--no, nothing good will come of this, but there is a cruelty in denial, and even mhin cannot fight the humanity that still fights to exist in a rotting heart.

For the OC kiss prompt....
How about the continuation of this? You can go wild with your interpretation of what happens next after this 🤣👍
This art was drawn so long ago haha but so happy to continue of this!
Their lips touched. Gently at first like a summer breeze. Just at the right moment to let you catch your breath from the unspeakable heat yet leave you hazy from it as well. You had waited too long for the connection. But you cannot dwell on it as Nielh was already leaning away from it with a calm smile on their lips.
"Hmm."
"What it is?"
"I think I didn't taste it enough." You said.
A chuckle rang into your ears. "Let me show you my care, dear."
This time the kiss marked your lips longer.

They finally talked (at least a little bit. enough to snuggle)!!!
After Solus gave Rieker the Sending stone, after talking some more and dinner, there may have been two beds in their room but Solus being like "Hey, you're welcome to sit with me while I read and do some research on stuff to try and help Amala" and Rieker being exhausted from getting beat up on purpose going from sitting to slumped to snuggled (telling himself he's totally gonna get up in a moment and move to the other bed no really) and eventually Solus put his book down and just got to enjoy getting to hold Rieker (and pressing one more Cure Wounds in, just for good measure)
