"I always wanted what I shouldn't have."
"Does that include me?"
"You're the first on the list."
A beautiful grin appears on his face. "What if you hate me down the line?"
"Then I will just fall in love with you all over again. I'm persistent like that."
"It was only the gesture of a gentlman". She felt a spark of heat near her sternum just as surprise widened her eyes.
"A gentleman? Do you often confuse yourself for such a man?"
"With what ease you insult me," he said, his eyes mocking. "Were you anyone else, I'd have you executed."
"Goodness, more poetry. Are these tender declarations meant to endear you to me?"
He fought a smile at that, running a hand through his hair as he looked up at the stars. "Tell me is it too much to hope for our future that you will not make it a habit of slapping me in the face?"
"Yes."
"I see. Then married life will be exactly as I imagined."

maybe I should just delete it?
you don't know the half of the abuse
"Tell me," he said viciously. "Is it terribly thrilling to imagine yourself the sole object of my thoughts and desires? Do you purposely deny me ownership of basic dignities, excluding from your memories the essential fact that I was forced into this situation just as you were all in the pursuit of feeling sorry for yourself?" He shook his head. "My, but it must be exhausting to be a narcissist."
"I thought she broke through the fire to punish me," Cyrus was saying. "I see only now that she did so to protect you."
There was a flicker in those blue irises, and for a second Cyrus betrayed himself. Beneath his placid surface was something desperate and unrestrained, if not broken. Kamran cataloged the moment as a kind of mercy, for he realized then that the young man was a king weaker than he appeared.
"You know her name," Cyrus said.
Kamran felt a pulse of trepidation.
"How," Cyrus demanded, "did you come to know her name?"
When Kamran finally spoke, his voice was cold. "I might ask you the same question."
"Indeed you might," said Cyrus, "But then, it's my prerogative to know the name of my bride."
"But then" she frowned-"why did you say that it would be the very worst of fates?"
"Ah. That." Cyrus looked away then, searched the night sky. "Well. You remember how I said I owed our mutual friend a very large debt?"
"Yes."
"And that helping you was the only repayment he would accept?"
She swallowed. "Yes."
"And do you remember how I told you that he wanted you to rule? To be a Jinn queen?"
Alizeh nodded.
"Well. You have no kingdom," he said. "No land to lord over. No empire to lead."
"No," she said softly. "I don't."
"Well, then. You are coming to Tulan," Cyrus said, taking a quick breath. "To marry me."
Alizeh gave a sharp cry, and fell off the dragon.
"No," she whispered.
"This is my dragon," said the Tulanian king. "You are not allowed to steal my dragon."
"I didn't steal it, the creature took- Wait, how did you get here? Can you fly?"
He laughed at that. "Is the mighty empire of Ardunia really so poor in magic that these small tricks impress you?"
"Yes," she said, blinking. Then, "What is your name?"
"Of all the non sequiturs. Why do you need to know my name?"
"So that I may hate you more informally."
'Ah. Well, in that case, you may call me Cyrus."
"Cyrus," she said. "You insufferable monster. Where on earth are we going?"
"Why did you come tonight?" he asked. "How? And your injuries-This dress"
"Kamran-"
"Say you came back for me," he whispered. "Tell me you came to find me. That you changed your mind."
"How-how can you even say such things," she said, "on an evening you are meant to choose another as your bride?"
"I choose you," he said simply. "I want you."
"We Kamran, you cannot You know it would be madness."
"I see." He bowed his head and drew away, leaving her cold. "So you've come for another reason entirely. Will you not share that reason with me now?"
Alizeh said nothing. She could think of me now?"
She heard him sigh.
"Then may I ask you a different question?"
"Yes,"
"How, precisely, do you know the Tulanian King? "
So it's back
Why does this cave of emptiness stays there, not filling, not vanishing, days, years passes but it's frozen in time. An untouchable agony. A consistent ache.
How long do I need to stay quiet
for my silence to become eloquent?
For it to get an effectiveness
that can make its audience understand
what’s not being said,
because that is what’s been said.
Salem gave him the eyes he was so fond of while gazing into his. "You didn't leave."
"You didn't want me to," he stated simply, and Salem felt the surprise. How had he known that when she hadn't?
He tapped the side of her head. "I own this pretty little mind of yours, Salem. I know the way you think. Why do you think I pushed and poked you so much during class?"
To learn how she reacted and what she said. He had always done that with her picked on her, gotten her to react more than anyone else-and Merlin had never stopped him. To anyone else, it would look like he was trying to bully her, create a rivalry of some kind, but she understood now what he'd been doing. He'd been learning her thought patterns and behavior.
"Just one glance from these eyes would have driven men to murder in old times. Still might."
Salem tilted her head to the side. "Would it drive you to murder?"
He pulled her closer. "Oh, little asp. It would drive me beyond."
"What is beyond murder?"
"Damnation."
And at the end, I will act like you don't exist when being just beside me while being acutely aware of you the whole time.
the lies turned their blood black, black like perfect ink
how easily abundance can become scarcity
One must not transport infinity into love; one must know that it is a human thing.
It was crazy how she'd thought of him as venomous when he called her the same. Maybe they were both the poison. Maybe they were both the antidote,Maybe what they thought would infect them was going to cure them after all.
