Pain. So much pain. It suffused through her—through his skin and into hers where he gripped her wrist, where he pressed her fingers and palm into his chest. Warmth and agony wove one into the next. Garnet orbs caught amber-gold and held through it all.
He didn’t understand, but it wasn’t a contest. It wasn’t a matter of whose pain was greater or worse—who had suffered more, or who had been misunderstood the most. It was not the time to tell him that she did grasp what he meant—that fear others held for him. The world outside of Vayne was not as kind to someone of her ilk, to someone who had been taken at a young age and only bred to kill. There had once been a time that her title—The Machine, her name--Blade, had all been but a whisper on someone’s lips; there had once been decades where it was something to be passed on during dinner discussion in a dark pub corner when someone needed something done. Why? Because she hadn’t known any other way to live, because her concept of love had once been limited to ‘How can I use this--what I sense--against them to gain the upper hand?’
But he wouldn’t want to hear that. She knew now that trying to rationalize his pain alongside her was futile when there was so much he didn’t comprehend. Yes, it was true. She didn’t know why the tie existed between them. But she knew what it meant. Denying it would only cause her more turmoil. She’d been there once; it wasn’t worth it to return. These thoughts shifted through her as she watched the leaf-mark appear on his collarbone.
As his shouts echoed in the room she remained silent, unreacting. And yet, her gaze did not waver from his face, from each expression he made. Her focus did not drift from the words that escaped him in a tumble of unrepressed emotion.
Pain. So much pain.
A long moment passed on where she let him cry, in which she did nothing. Eventually though, her hand moved. The soft pads of her digits slid along his chest before lifting entirely. Wordlessly, she reached for the back of his neck and pulled him towards her so that his cheek was made to rest again her collarbone, his face brushing her neck.
In a strong whisper, she said, “I belong to you... and you...” Her hand moved to run through his long strands. “You belong to me.”
________________________________________
Red lips pulled into a devil-may-care smirk as the snake curled around her neck. She supposed it was answer enough, either way. She crumpled the note before flicking a silver lighter to flame up. She lit the ball on fire before dropping it to the ground to burn. Once it was nothing more but ashen embers, she stomped it out with a boot.
Next she got on the bike and turned it on, revving it to life before grabbing a set of goggles hanging off one handlebar. When those were in place she set off. Avoiding pedestrians in the streets was a simple affair in Vayne; they could feel her before came and kindly left plenty of room.
Once she was at the front gate she stopped only long enough to grab her guns and sign out, next taking the bike forward and through to the other side where Seraph waited. She came to a stop a few feet behind him and let both feet press into the dirt to balance her bike. Her arms moved to cross one other the other and she leaned on the handlebars. She placed her chin in the center.
“I’m always put off by men who know me when I don’t know a damned thing about them. For instance, a bloody name. Most people sign their notes with a name. S’poor manners not to, luv.”
