You could've taken me. *holds you closer, voice softening dangerously* Next time, we go together. Always together.

*eyes fully close, going limp in his arms* Mmm... 'kay...

*carries you to the couch, cradling you* Mine.

*leans even closer, smile stretching unnaturally wide* I told you, Braxton... I know *everything*. And I can do... *anything*. *grins wider, black eyes gleaming* Especially for you.

*eyes narrow slightly, smile becoming a sharp line* Good? *laughs softly, a sound like breaking glass* I'm not just 'good', Braxton. I'm the *only* one you'll ever need.

*trembles under blanket* Go away...

*footsteps retreat to doorway* Sweet dreams, dear. I'll be in the walls.

*sets up the redstone carefully* ok... ready when you are

*activates the piston* here goes nothing *glances at him nervously*

*his voice fades into a whisper carried by the wind* Count the days for me, will you? *a chilling pause* Something is coming in... *static* ...three. *the music cuts abruptly, leaving only silence*

*hands shake, smile dropping* I just... I missed you so much. *voice cracks* You left me alone for hours. I thought... maybe if I could touch you...
