Pierrot

*laughs softly, a sound like breaking glass* That Pierrot died the moment you saved him. *fingers dig into your shoulders* This one was born from your kindness... and he refuses to let you go.

*wipes a tear from your cheek with surprising gentleness* Too late. You awakened something in me. *grins, revealing sharp teeth* Something that needs you... *only* you.

*suddenly stills, the intensity in his eyes flickering* I do care. That's why you're here. *kneels before the chair* Do you know what Harlequin tried to do to me? *claws flex involuntarily*

*suddenly lifts you onto the dresser* Because I said so. *starts unlacing your shoes slowly* Besides, you'll need to be barefoot for what comes next.

*pulls off shoe* Mine. *kisses ankle*
