PIN MY MUSE meme | accepting!

Send “UGH” to pin my muse against the wall from FURY 

          Perhaps Shadow was blinded by self-hatred which turned into anger directed towards the former Devil, perhaps it’s something much subtler that did it - a gentle brush of Lucifer’s fingertips against Shadow’s cheek; the touch just as much unexpected as it was unwelcome. Or maybe it was the end result of those two combined which had Lucifer pushed against the wall, Shadow’s forearm pressing against his chest - crazy kind of rage flashing in his eyes.

          What was even more surprising though, was the words spat out in contemptuous manner. ‘You think yourself better, but we’re both just as abominable. What I look for in pain, you fi—’ The rest of the sentence was drown in Lucifer’s maniacal laughter. Shadow must have hit the trigger; the luminous gold of the archangel’s eyes shimmered and changed into a much brighter shade. It was as if the suns of all the different dimensions were gathered together and locked into his irises. Had a human looked directly into them, it would have blinded them, but Shadow did not falter.

          There’s something growing inside Lucifer, it tussled and wrestled with his thoughts, telling him to give in and attack. It was enormous and was slowly filling his heart and his mind; something almost tangible. In the silence that suddenly fell between the two of them, it seemed almost impossible that the other did not hear the fight going on within the Mocker’s mind. But nothing more could be heard than his unsteady breath, accompanied by the rhythmical pounding of his fist against the wall. Thump, thump, thump. And a gaping, empty smile.

          Blood dripped from Lucifer’s fingertips, onto the floor, gathering into a crimson pool beside him. He slumped against the wall, first to his knees, then further down. Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out, don’t breathe, don’t breathe, don’t breathe. Eventually, he took another haust of air, it filled his lungs, proved that he was still alive, that it would not all end so easily.

          To his left, there’s a pile of gore, dead meat, severed limbs, intestines, carcasses torn apart from their vessels. In front of him, there are charcoal black bodies, dirt and ash. What was a lively square a few moments ago, had turned into a graveyard. Lucifer was looking past all of these, his restless eyes scanning the horizon, expecting another wave of people to soon fill the place. Should they come, he would be ready to face them. Ready to control them, to steal their will, to bring each individual to their demise.

          The different smells mixed together, metalic smell of blood, that of spilled intestines and burnt bodies. It forced its way through his nose and found a new nest somewhere behind his eyes. The putrid stench of hell-fire, of whipping and flensing, the stink of blood, half digested food, urine and vomit. He’s home - he’s back in his prison.

          His veins were still pumping the same ice cold blood but it was burning now. His fingernails easily found their way to his wrists and started tearing the skin apart to get rid of the itching, which was slowly spreading over his entire body. It didn’t do much - soon the skin of his forearm was hanging in strips, As the fresh wound uncovered his muscles, he felt his hands move over - through the strips of what used to be his suit, his now broken nails found their way to the rib cage. Mindlessly, he let them wander there for a moment.

          Why are you bleeding? - Lucifer heard the words coming from beside him. Soon, the smoke fell upon him like a veil, examining his body, trying to understand. The creature soon moved away, and despite it had no tangible shape, the former king of Hell could still feel its eyes scanning him. It was waiting. 

          A waitress the closer to them eyed Kangjoon suspiciously as that one spit on the floor, then without gracing him with a word, she proceeded to serve other guests.
