iโm not going to destroy the world, but i am going to hold it in my hands and squeeze it. iโm going to make it afraid, just like iโve made you afraid.

inside, to feel the warm rush of life under his fingers.
/ ๐๐ง / he had, Regulus would either be begging for his life or on his knees, and neither thought stopped the rush of ๐ฃ๐๐๐ coiling through him.
Beneath the shower, his thoughts simmered with dark satisfaction as crimson spilled down the drain, the boiling water masking the infuriating ๐ค๐๐จ๐๐จ๐จ๐๐ค๐ฃ coiling inside him.
Mulciber hadnโt bothered to stick around after healing the wound he wanted to open, to see
โ
he woke the way he always did after pain โ
slowly, heavily, like dragging himself up from the bottom of a dark ๐ฅ๐๐ค๐. regulusโ bodies remember this routine well, the fog mixed with the pain. itโs all familiar to him
until it wasnโt .
Still high on rage and bloodlust, he watched Regulus fall into the darkness, torn between leaving him there to bleed out or saving him for his own selfish pleasure.
Minutes passed as he smoked a cigarette, ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ก๐๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐, until he cursed under his breath and
โ
his body jerked against his will, a strangled, involuntary cry ripping out of him as white-hot pain carved through his side. no matter how hard regulus tried to anchor himself, to the cold floors beneath his palms and the sound of ๐๐๐.
everything was slipping ..

ripped open the blood-soaked shirt that clung to Blackโs pale skin.
Of course Mulciber stopped to admire his ๐๐ง๐ฉ๐ฌ๐ค๐ง๐ , ice-cold hues darting across the open wound and the blood pouring out of it โ he almost wanted to sit and watch, to let the crimson flow, but

โ
the touch was almost gentle, however the sting of iron burned against his skin, humiliation prickling hotter than the pain in his side . every fight nerve he had left his body the moment he was released with a loud gasp for air as he drops ..
โYouโre quiet now? ๐๐ค๐ค๐.โ
A blood-stained thumb dragged across Regulusโs lower brim before he released his throat and shoved him to the ground in the process, booted foot moving to stand on the otherโs wand.
It was all about possession and control, the intoxication
โ
a sharp, tearing burn ripped through his side as elias yanked the knife free in one brutal motion. the pain was white and consuming โโ it shouldnโt hurt this much, he doesnโt want it to.
he was used to worse, regulus told himself โฆ
A monster, perhaps. . . but he wasnโt going to let his ๐ฅ๐ค๐จ๐จ๐๐จ๐จ๐๐ค๐ฃ die.
One swift motion, Elias pulled out the blade, his lips curving into that chaotic grin as he stared down at the blood dripping from his fingers and wrapped them around Regulusโs throat.
โ
vision blurred, stars flickering across the edges as tried to shove him away. his hands slid along mulciberโ chest, grasping for leverage that wasnโt there. the effort made the pain flare sharper, hot fire spiking through him and he almost relented .
