꧁♡ 𝓣𝓲𝓶♡꧂

By the time I got to his room, the door was already slightly open.

I didn’t knock.

I just pushed it open and stepped in.

Eric was already up, not fully standing but sitting at the edge of the bed like he had been waiting, like he had been ready for a while now and was only holding himself back because he had no one to leave with. The doctor was still there, standing beside him, going over something, probably instructions or precautions, the usual things they say before discharging a

    ꧁♡ 𝓣𝓲𝓶♡꧂"The shower?" I asked quietly, my voice barely steady in the dark. We had gone back to the bar but surprisingly Sheila and Phil weren't there and after calling their numbers numerous times, we decided to just go back to the hotel."Later," Frank said.He didn’t wait.He crossed the space between us in seconds, like he’d already decided how this would go. His hands came up to my neck, still cold from the rain, settling there with a weight that made my breath catch. Not tight, not choking, just there to control and ground. His thumbs dragged along my jaw, rough enough to make my pulse jump."You’ve been in my head all night, Tim," he murmured, his mouth close enough that I felt every word against my lips. "The things I would do to you""Not my fault, you're obsessed with me" I said, even though we both knew it was obvious. My hands moved on their own, fumbling with the buttons of his damp shirt.A low sound left him. "Yeah. I am."He caught my wrists before I could get far,

    ꧁♡ 𝓣𝓲𝓶♡꧂The kiss came hard, rough, stealing the air from my lungs, but I didn’t pull away. I couldn’t.Frank didn’t kiss like a man who asked. He took. His mouth crashed into mine like the storm around us, fierce and hungry, heat cutting through the cold rain. His hands locked around my waist, dragging me flush against him until there was no space left, until I could feel exactly what he wanted, what he was holding back.My fingers clutched at his shoulders, gripping the soaked fabric of his jacket as if letting go would send me back into the fear we had just escaped. But that fear was gone now, drowned out by something sharper, deeper. Every nerve in my body lit up, the shift from terror to raw need hitting me all at once.The alley didn’t feel cold anymore, instead it burned with the desires ripping through our bodies.His tongue pushed into my mouth, slow at first, then deeper, more demanding, tasting like rain and something darker, something that was only him. I answered w

    ꧁♡ 𝔉𝔯𝔞𝔫𝔨 ♡꧂The moment I noticed it, I didn’t react immediately. I just kept walking like nothing had changed, like nothing had shifted, but my eyes had already caught it. The distance they try to keep so I won't suspect a thing.The way they tried to blend in but still stayed too consistent to be random. But they were wrong, we were being followed.I pulled him closer without making it obvious, my arm sliding around him like it was nothing more than a habit, like I just wanted him closer, but my attention stayed sharp.“Act normal,” I murmured low enough for only him to hear. I felt him stiffen for a second, just a second, then he adjusted, leaning into me like he understood without needing anything more.“What are we going to do?” he whispered back, quiet but steady. “Please, no guns. I don't want another blood bath.”I chuckled at that. “Your wishes are my command, Cariño.”“Fuck off.” Tim laughed against me.“On three,” I said calmly, still not looking back. “We run.”There

    ꧁♡ 𝓣𝓲𝓶♡꧂Sheila and Phil were still going at it, and at this point I wasn’t even trying to interfere anymore. They had moved past subtle jabs into full blown verbal warfare, throwing words at each other like they were trying to win something neither of them was willing to define. It was exhausting just listening to them.I leaned back slightly, letting out a quiet breath when I felt Frank shift beside me. Then he leaned closer, his lips brushing lightly against my ear as he spoke, his voice low enough that it didn’t carry beyond me.“Should we get out of here?” he whispered. “Go for a walk instead?”I didn’t even hesitate.“Yeah,” I replied under my breath.Honestly, staying there any longer felt like volunteering to sit through a fight that had no end. Sheila wasn’t backing down, Phil clearly enjoyed pushing her, and if anything, they were only getting worse with every passing minute. I had already tried earlier to step in, to slow it down, but they ignored me like I wasn’t even

    ꧁♡ 𝓣𝓲𝓶♡꧂“You did what??”Sheila’s voice rang louder than it should have, and a few heads turned our way, but she didn’t even care. We had barely stepped into the bar, barely settled into our seats, and I already knew I had made a mistake telling her this here, but it was either now or later when it would be worse.“I invited them,” I repeated, quieter this time, like lowering my voice would somehow reduce the damage.Her eyes widened like she didn’t hear me the first time. “No, no, no—say that again slowly because I must have misheard you.”I let out a small breath, already tired. “I invited them.”“Them?” she echoed. “As in plural?”“Yes.” She stared at me for a second, then leaned back slightly like she needed space to process what I just said. “You invited him,” she said slowly, emphasizing every word, “the one person I cannot stand in this entire hospital, and you brought his… whatever he is too?”“My boyfriend,” I said.She blinked, then blinked again.“Your—” she stopped, t

    ꧁♡ 𝓣𝓲𝓶♡꧂“Let’s hope I can tolerate him today,” I muttered under my breath.I didn’t rush this time as I walked down the hallway, my steps steady, not dragging but not fast either. There was no reason to rush into that room, not after what happened the last time I stepped in there. If it were left to me, I would leave the sucker to die. I know it wasn't very professional of a doctor but hey, even doctors have feelings and he trampled on that during our last meeting. So yeah, I have every right to hate him like Sheila does.If anything, I was already preparing myself for whatever nonsense Phil was going to pull this time. I adjusted my coat slightly as I walked, I pushed it open and stepped in.Then paused.For a second, I just stood there, staring, because what I was seeing didn’t immediately make sense.Frank.He was dressed in the same black suit that he had on when he left this morning and was inside the room laughing at whatever that bastard was telling him. I blinked once, th

    ꧁࿇ Eric࿇꧂One Day AgoThe knock on the ward door was soft, careful, almost hesitant.I had been staring at the pale hospital wall for so long that the sound snapped me out of my thoughts immediately. For a moment I didn’t move. My chest tightened as a familiar possibility crossed my mind, one I had

    ꧁♡ 𝓣𝓲𝓶♡꧂By the time I arrived at the restaurant, my nerves felt tight and tense.The place was tucked away on a quiet street, far from the crowds and noise of the city center. From the outside it looked understated, almost ordinary, but the moment I stepped inside it became clear that it was an

    ꧁♡ 𝔉𝔯𝔞𝔫𝔨 ♡꧂The hotel lobby looks exactly the same as it did on Eric’s wedding day, and that alone makes something dark twist inside my chest. The polished marble floor reflects the yellow light from the chandelier above, and for a brief second I see my own shadow stretched out in front of me

    ☾♡ Eric ♡☽Hatred has always come easily to me.People liked to say brothers should love each other, protect each other, grow up side by side like two trees from the same root. But Frank and I had never grown like that. From the moment we were children, he stood taller, brighter, louder than me. H
