PALE PALETTES AND SOFT SURFACES ; the woman stands like a painting . to his eyes a figure poised in reverent piety . she is the image of a GODDESS and even so , he decides she is wrong . the young man stands upon the top floor , watching her with a cautionary disposition . he does not doubt that she too is watching him , if not with her eyes then with her silent regard -- he can feel it under his skin . another unsettling feature of this place ; the way in which eli felt he was never alone . hands graze the wooden banister on the way down the spiraling staircase , fingertips smooth against the delicate engravings . he reaches the bottom , straightens the unfamiliar clothes he had been given , and finds her gaze .

“     DOES EVERYTHING AROUND HERE smell so strongly of flora and fauna ??     ”     he’s not used to his surroundings and the lack of familiarity leaves him feeling powerless . no longer the top student behind the walls of lockwood university , eli can’t help but feel insignificant -- ( this will not stand this will not stand )      “     i thought about what you said last night and the answer’s still no .     ”     he liked the ATTENTION when he garnered it himself , not if he were to be a OBJECT on display .

     ❝ EVEN IF I could stomach such an offer, I know better than to drink from the fae’s chalice. ❞

HE’S NEVER LIKED THE WAY THAT SHE MADE HIM FEEL ; belittled , powerless , wrong . she made him doubt everything until his faith began to wane . with the doubt his walls began to crumble . shoulders stiffen as they always did when she brushes her fingers across his back , circling him like a hawk . her green eyes pierce something within him . he would not break , not for anyone , not for her . but her LIPS ARE LIKE DAGGERS as they twist into him and pull something out that he had long since believed had died with the old eli . drowned in that tub of ice . 

A WARMTH SPREADS FROM HIS CHEEKS , up and up and up . it’s a head rush , a high of moments forgotten . a primitive need , one he knew he shouldn’t desire . but he did , and he damned her for reminding him . 

HE DOESN’T THINK TWICE WHEN HIS LIPS move to where titania’s had just parted . having only grazed his cheek ; dipping lazily to his jawline , he makes the final gesture bringing his lips to hers . he feels the rush consuming him , filtering through his bones , and he knows it’s a mistake . but this time it’s a mistake he no longer feels guilty of . she was an angel afterall , wouldn’t He be pleased ??
