The Cheeriest Receiver

A/N: As usual, I would recommend putting the video on loop.


His cheery tone disturbed her all the more, and his grin didn't help either. Already, his words sent chills through her body, and his hand remained on her head. Clearly, it was another threat, but she wasn't going to deliver to him what he desired. "You're still not going to tell me?" She kept her mouth shut.


The creature's hand traveled down her face, and she shut her eyes. His fingers rested on her lips, and her lips parted so that she could bite him. Her lips were clamped shut, however. "No biting right now, (f/n). There's always time for that later." He giggled, and her eyes glared at him when they reopened.


"Have I told you how I had started Haley's session earlier today?" Now, she really couldn't answer, and she didn't shake or nod her head either. She didn't wish to know, though. His grin grew all the wider, and his breath smelled strongly of iron. (F/n) would've gagged if her nose hadn't been numbed by the smell already. ""I don't believe that I had."


He removed his fingers before he tapped them against her lips. "Well, I had sliced her tongue." (F/n) figured that he had done something to her mouth, and she nearly shivered at the thought of that happening to her. "It hadn't been too deep of a cut, but it had been no minor one either. I'm sure that you had heard her scream." Her heart beat a little faster.


A pleased look crossed his countenance. "It had been so satisfying to listen to. Her suffering truly had made me feel so much better, and her following silence had been utterly calming." His thumb pressed into her lower lip and pulled down on it some. She managed to back against the chair more. The creature lowered his lips near hers before he ghosted them over the side of her jaw.


Her whole body tensed, and her hands tightened around the cup. His lips stopped by her ear. "What would be so much better than that is if you could scream for me." Instantly, she pulled herself away from him, but she regretted the decision; she had moved too quickly. She fell off the chair, and her body ached from the sudden movement.


Almost, she crashed to the floor, but two arms caught her. The creature set her on the table. "You don't need to injure yourself. You have me to worry about first." He giggled and met her gaze once more. His eyes traveled to her lips, and she wanted to cover her mouth badly, but her hands wouldn't reach there.


Raising his hand, he moved it towards her lips again, and she leaned away but not too far. She didn't wish to fall back on the table and have him hover over her. The idea almost made her curl up. Before his hand reached her, however, he drew it back and began to giggle continually. (F/n) didn't understand what was so funny, but she didn't bother to ask him either.


Clutching his sides, he fell back onto the chair. His eyes closed, and he looked ready to kick his legs back and forth. (F/n) was almost tempted to try and bolt for the bedroom, but she knew that he would reach her first. He was highly unsettling in that moment, though. It was as though he was some creepy clown chuckling in a dark alleyway of a circus.


When he finally calmed down, his eyes locked onto hers. Amusement dominated his eyes still, and he was probably holding back more laughs. "Ah, don't worry, my little partner. I'm not going to cut your tongue, but I certainly had you there." He leaned back into the chair casually and smirked. "If I'm going to have you scream that loudly for me, I'd rather it be due to a different activity."


Blood drained from her face, and she felt her stomach turn. Her eyes darted to the front door rather than the bedroom one. A few more giggles left him. "Of course, I don't mean right now. We have plenty of time for that." She gulped, and he grinned before another giggle parted from him. "Unless you kill me." He tapped his nails against his lips. "Maybe, I should plan that sooner than later, then."


(F/n)'s feet were ready to touch the ground and bolt as fast as she could to the door. The creature easily noticed and shook his head. "But, I won't. That gives you all the more incentive to succeed in killing me. Even if you fail, I won't rush you into that. We both posses patience after all, though; I must admit that it's hard to be patient around you." He shrugged and shook his head. "You're really too delicious for your own good. My mind is swirling with scrumptious scenarios."


All of the muscles in her midsection tightened with dread. She didn't care how long he would wait; she would never let that occur between them. Almost, she wished to vomit at the idea. To distract her body from the rising disgust, she asked a simple question, though; she stuttered. "H-h-how?"


"How what? Surely, you don't mean how do ..."


"No!" her voice came out stronger.


Several giggles parted from him. "Ah, well, I would be delighted to give you a lesson anytime you wish." She scowled at him, and if she could throw the table at him, she would. "Very well, suit yourself." He crossed his arms, and his nails tapped against the other. "What had you meant, then?"


"How can you go from what you had been outside to well ... this? I don't get it," she mumbled as though the question always had been for herself to answer only. She broke her gaze with him and stared down at her lap. "It's ... it's ..."


"Oh?" He leaned forward a bit in intrigue. "Am I stirring some feelings in you that you consider forbidden for me?" His eyes seemed to gleam. Her eyes met his, and she froze. The creature truly looked like a monster in that moment. She thought that he would tackle her and consume her then and there. It was completely bone chilling.


Forcing her body to relax, she sat up straighter and narrowed her eyes. "No. I'm not falling in love with you. Your behavior is simply vexing." The gleam left his orbs, and he smirked. "You're almost too ..."


"Too human? Yes, yes, I know." He waved a hand dismissively. "It's just so hard to believe that I have a conscious and personality and that I'm not simply some mindless monster devouring humans left and right." The creature placed his hands on his knees and leaned forward as if he was about to tell the greatest secret in the world.


"And, it's even more amazing that I can restrain my primal urges and take care of another living thing." His hands were thrown up in a grand gesture. "And to top it all off, I can even understand a human's feelings and know when to hold back on my usual behavior." He clapped his hands slowly. "Truly, it's astounding." The creature's voice grew bitter, and he rose up from his seat.


It wasn't hard to see that she had pissed him off. Her heart wanted to burrow itself deeper in her chest and hide. She wanted to join it. His form seemed to tower all the more over hers. The creature's nails drew towards her face, and she moved her head away. "Stop." Reluctantly, she did so. (F/n)'s body refused to resist the low, threatening order.


Gently, his nails glided under her chin and remained there. He turned her gaze to his. "Why is it that you humans always think that you're the only ones who can think and feel properly? Why is it that me being something else than human suddenly can't perform the same things? Why is it that I get referred to by so many as nothing more than 'it' when I clearly am male and should be addressed as such? Why do I get treated as an animal that can be tamed to human ways when I already know about them oh so well?"


Turning away from her, he pulled back his nails carefully and seated himself again. His right hand pushed back some of his locks, and (f/n) didn't know what to say. He stared at her once more, and she couldn't believe that she saw sorrow there despite his recent words. "You know that I can think and feel. You even helped me to realize that I'm in love with you, yet you say such things?"


Guilt began to creep into her body, but she wouldn't let it consume her. "I know that you can think and feel. I know that you're male. I address you as such even though I've been criticized for it by others. Your behavior baffles me because of all of your past and present actions.


"One moment you're sadistic, masochistic, perverted and selfish, yet at another, you do a complete flip and act like you're the most understanding, caring person in the world. It's such a drastic change that it pisses me off." Her voice grew louder, and her gaze became piercing. "Why the h*ll do you think that I had broken down in front of you?! I've never had such troubling feelings in my whole life until you had come along?!"


Carefully, she descended from the table and onto her feet. Daringly, she stepped towards him and stabbed him in the chest with her right, index finger. "Don't you dare go giving me that sad look when you've murdered my best friend and threatened my parents' lives! You have no right!"



"I have no right?" Hurt laced his voice, and he bitterly laughed before it turned dark. His eyes penetrated hers, and she took a step back. He grabbed her right wrist and pulled her back. She winced from her protesting shoulder. "I have every right to feel what I want to feel, (f/n)." Venom dripped from every word and dominated the pronunciation of her name. Terror began to control her. "I have done terrible, unnecessary things, and I don't apologize for them because I don't feel guilt for them. I know that fuels your hate for me. Let it." The creature tugged her closer, and she winced again. "But, know that I have suffered terrible pain in my life. That doesn't give me an excuse for my past actions, but it heightens my ability to feel woe."
