Summary
Yet he wonders what it’s like as you trace a finger over your shoulder. Feeling for the bite mark left behind, the warmth still tingling on once unmarred flesh. Your eyes a gentleness feigned before they drift again. Empty. An abyss too void staring back. (And it’s too late. It’s too late for him to turn back. To salvage this. It’s too late.)
You let him have only one moment to pull you close before you pry him away. Finger by finger, nail by nail. Cold again as you slip out of bed and he wonders how it feels — to not want even when you are wanted, to not need even when you are needed. To not love, even when you are loved.
Or: when you fall for what is unfeeling.

Summary
“Last time we talked, you said I had issues,” he reminds her. The way he tucks a strand of her hair behind her ear is sickeningly sweet. Deliberate; a graze too gentle and too loving. “That it was all my fault, that I was too jealous and possessive and I suffocated you.” He presses his lips together, tight like he has to hold back the whispers of devotion. Like he has to stop himself from getting on his knees and begging again. “You wanted me gone.”
And something tightens in her chest then. A pang of guilt that she tries to hide before it could show on her face. Yet she knows he catches on anyway, because he frowns before he sneers, remorse before slight satisfaction that he managed to hurt her back in some way.
Even then, it’s still nothing compared to what she put him through. So she says nothing this time, lets him as he pulls away. Her nails almost catch the edge of his sleeve — but then her hand falls. Limp.
Love lies bleeding.

Summary
“I thought as much,” he says, head thrown back in arrogant confidence. The air feels cold as it cuts into her skin — but not as cold as the flash of something dangerous in indigo as he rakes nails, only lightly, across the skin of her stomach. Teasing her, giving her only the slightest touch because she also gives him so little. “Only been gone for like a minute and you’ve already stolen something again. What are you, a pervert?”
That felt like a slap across the face. Lumine is heady, close to combusting as he glares her down like she’s nothing, like she’s below him and he could step on her and she’d thank him for it.
Every secret spills eventually.

Summary
"You took every good thing I have," Lumine accuses him. And she sees it — that edge in his gaze, the slight tear on red eyeliner.
"Everything good in your life is because of me," Scaramouche says, calm if not deadpanned. But she notices how he tenses, how his breath slows and how his face contorts into hurt. For a moment, it doesn't even seem like he's breathing. "You're alive right now because of me, Lumine."
"You mean despite you," she's quick to cut, and he's quick to react. Eyes narrowing like he could choke her right then and there and she wouldn't be able to do anything about it. His fingers twitching — considering.
Or: if love was a metal cage and a hand around your throat.
