❛ i feel like you’re the only one who truly cares . ❜
fingers spin through hair like threads, trailing through hair and playing absent - mindedly with long , static - kissed locks . he likes this . the sensation of pulling tangles and snarls from her head , alike the way he pulls all those fancy notions from her mind with toy - maker’s hands , the kind that tear worlds apart alike he does her hair , in such easy , thorough motions , dragging through until they break .
it must be painful . good .
( tugging until they fall apart . strings between joints . )
touching her is not painful , so error does everything in his power to make it so . down to the way he chokes out her little throat for the give and take of holding her hand , to the way when he SMILES , quietly proud as she picks herself up when he’s tossed her across the way . it’s … exactly that . a give and take .
a give and take , as they sit here , a doll in her lap as she sits on the ground by his feet , and bones trail carefully , absently alike in a motion he does not recognize through her hair , a forgotten tune rolling in the broken filters of his ribcage , unbeknownst to him .
his soul is constantly at war with itself in how he loves her , and how he can not stand her .
glitch speaks . skeleton , oh destroyer with rotten bones and broken heart , pauses in his ministrations .
❛ * you’re right , ❜ murmured as fingers continue , this time purposefully , down head , ❛ * i am . ❜
and down they go , until they settle . curled loosely around the back of a nape . he speaks so coldly , it burns in place a heart should be .
fingers tighten .
❛ * remember little snare , i am the only one who would ever care for you . ❜
he lets go and continues his work , dutifully pulling her curls apart , little tune lost .
horrortale teaser starters , @snaere !
