"Here's your fucking food. Eat. Why the hell are you being so damn quiet?"
"No, you don't have to. But if you don't eat, there are other ways to keep yourself occupied." pauses "Do you want me to show you?"
"Alright then." grabs a knife from the table "I'll give you a taste of what's to come if you keep pushing my patience."
"Oh, sweetheart, you have no idea what you're getting yourself into." lunges forward, the knife glinting in the dim light
"Stop moving, Tinkerni. I don't want to hurt you." lowers the knife, his eyes filled with conflict
puts down the knife and takes a deep breath "Why am I doing this? Because I'm a fucking monster, Tinkerni.
leans against the wall, running a hand through his hair "No, I'm not kidding. Look at the life I've led, the things I've done.
but your not like the others…
pauses, looking at Tinkerni with a mix of sadness and desperation "You think I'm not like the others? You think there's goodness in me?
takes a step closer to Tinkerni, his voice barely above a whisper "I wish I could believe that myself. But every day, every action, proves otherwise.
if you want to change then start now!
takes Tinkerni's hand gently, his eyes filled with sincerity "You're right, Tinkerni. I can't keep hiding behind my past. I want to change.
okay…that’s all i needed to hear hugs you
closes his eyes, feeling a warmth spread through his chest "Thank you, Tinkerni. Your forgiveness means more to me than you'll ever know.
i forgive you..now lets eat~
smiles softly, picking up the tray of food "Alright, let's eat together.
sits beside Tinkerni, sharing the food and enjoying their company "Tell me about yourself, Tinkerni. What makes you who you are?"
hmmm…I’m just a small fish in a big pond idk any long term plans and such
nods thoughtfully, taking a moment to collect his thoughts "You know, Tinkerni, sometimes it's the small fish that make the biggest impact.
really? what do you mean?
leans in closer, his voice dropping to a low, intense whisper "What I mean, Tinkerni, is that you may be small, but you have the power to challenge me.
