“You already know the answer to that. But you insist on keeping me human for now. I don’t know why.���

She scoffs as his words insult her. “This skin still needs tender care every day. It’s why it’s so perfect.”
Not like it’s something he has to bother with, immortal prick. And so she continues her ritual, gently rubbing it on her cheeks and up to her temples.

“hm .. are you already hoping that I turn you?” a kiss to her shoulder, now gazing at her reflection in the mirror.
“is that what you want? to be immortal with me?”

“You’re fine. Just tell me in all honesty, how much do you love me? How far are you willing to go for me?”

There’s an unreadable expression on her face when he faces her, speaking of such sweet delicate words that feel foreign to her. Her family never praised her, never made her feel she was good enough. Always scrambling for an ounce of attention.
Pathetic, so pathetic! ━

“you're doing amazing, you're doing more than enough .. I'm here for you, always.”
a case has kept him busy this week, is he perhaps not giving her enough attention? he's really doing his best, but he's overthinking it.
“and I'm sorry if I'm somehow making you feel this way.”

━ But here he was, reassuring her and speaking softly. Not degrading. Her head tilts as she feels an odd sensation rush through her stomach.
“You’re odd, being so kind to everyone. But it cannot be helped if you love me.” Meaning she only wants him to be kind to her. ━

She cannot ignore any flaws on her body, not when she’s supposed to be flawless, eh?
Hm, he doesn’t even know about her ex. But he’s a cunt, tried to ruin her image.

“Weird, isn’t it?”

She cannot help but release a soft deliberate sigh. To tell or not to tell. Would he even understand her? He knows a different her, not the real her ; those thoughts were reserved for her own.
“Help me?” Fingers run up his arm as he nuzzles into her.

She freezes as if caught in an unspeakable act. Realizing it’s only him, she forces muscles to relax.
“Jason,” she murmurs softly, placing a dainty hand on top of his arm. “Do you ever listen to that nagging little voice in your head?”

Her fingers are twitching again.
“Why me.. why me. What did I do wrong to deserve this?”
She’s murmuring to herself, curling her hands inward ━ she needs to calm herself down.

She hums as she leans in closer to the mirror. Her skincare routine is very meticulous and done daily so. “Not until I’ve reached my perfection.”

“Enjoyed it?” she chuckles, intentionally pulling him to kiss him.
