Sneak peak (uneditted):

You don’t see what Red sees, and you most certainly didn’t see Red shooting a man to death all in the name of your honor and his possessive jealousy. All you saw was a kind interaction between the man harassing you and your boyfriend, Red protecting you from the perverted eyes of the drunk stranger. 

You didn’t hear Red’s gun go off, the screams of the people around you, everyone’s panicking, calling the police. Until everyone shuts up, everyone calms down. And everyone leaves, bodies limp like zombies as they make their ways back home.

Red promised to never use his magic on you or any human, a Shiko never does such things to their human siblings! Of course his hands— which were spread across your back at the time of his confession, bodies close but too far— gave away to his lie, fingers crossed in a dishonorable way. 

But you didn’t know that, you didn’t need to. Humans are fragile idiots, skin breaking apart with barely any force exerted to it, barely strong enough to carry a car, and most of all, too stupid to understand the vitality of magic and power.

Though their gods, whom the humans forget and barely give any thought to, themselves graced them with elemental magic, the puny humans had killed off any elementals. The monarchy behind such genocides excusing the brutality with the calls for equality, that all humans are born as one, and the elemental humans were against the so-called natural order of the human race. 

They attempted to spread their genocide to the Shiko. But much to the humans’ dismay, the Shiko were the children of their goddess, all blessed with their own types of magic, fought back and committed their own atrocities against those who dared to hurt the soil of their village. 

Red sighs, mind swirling with hatred, rage, disgust, but most of all, insecurity. He was a jealous, obsessive man, Red knows who he is and what he does. There never will be a moment where Red makes an unconscious regretful decision, anything and everything he does will always be purposeful. And the manipulative tactics he used to make you fall in love with him were more than a conscious decision. He had planned it all out, to this very moment. Now he’s faced with the possibility of you thinking there’s someone out there better than Red.

A man who isn’t violent, a man who has a normal white collar job with a normal amount of love for you. Most of all, a human man. 

Your parents weren’t exactly overjoyed with the man you brought back home, showing off your boyfriend to them only to be met with faces riddled with disgust. That was when it started. The thoughts of self-doubt in his ability to be enough for you. Maybe he’s too much? Maybe you’re only with him since you’re scared of him… Maybe you’re using him for his money.
