@bonesofchaos has requested a story : "were you looking for me? i’m honored!" // woody @ his queen

𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒕𝒆𝒅.

❝ Honored as you ought to be because , ❞ Purposefully , she allows to hang the end of her statement , punctuating the words by reaching out and catching the manmade angel by the jaw , REELING HIM CLOSE .  The press of her claws must be entirely f a m i l i a r by now , as is the way she does not elect to hinder their pressure against his flesh , letting them bite into his handsome face , welling the brimming of b l o o d to the surface.  Head cocks , angling herself nearer , making sure to mind the way mirrored crown of horns interlock overhead , further entangling the two together like beasts in an unsightly SNARE .  ❝ You seem to forget that I am a l w a y s looking for you. ❞  Comes the finish of her thought.  For as coy as it might sound , the tone she takes is entirely s i n c e r e .  It is followed by – affirmed with – a kiss bestowed to waiting lips ( & how he seems to look for more the moment she withdraws ; how she relishes in the way he seems so eager for more of her blessings ! ) .

Verona is very much indeed his living haunt ; she is his wanting divinity.  And he is those pieces of her that have gone missing , now f o u n d in the shape of a falsified relic that has come to absolve / to salvage her rotting heart.  Lo’ how the times change , where even the greatest of creatures will love for eternity the most despicable of creatures ( & love him she does , this cannot be denied ; he is everything to her , no matter their dichotomy ) .

❝ For whatever could I do without my beloved angel ?  My other half ? ❞  She pulls away from him , a smile uplifting the corners of her painted lips , silvery hues glinting with the tinge of good humor.  ❝ Being without you is intolerable ! ❞  And she means that.  She h a t e s when he decides to go galavanting off on his wild escapades and get into trouble ( at the very least , he has the sense to mention when he does , though it does not mend the ache left behind in his absence ) .  ❝ Besides , you know I would not be forced to HUNT YOU DOWN like this if you would simply learn to STAY PUT for more than a few days at a time. ❞  Spoken in jest , of course , there is no real ire in her voice , merely a lighthearted s c o l d i n g .  She is also willing to bet the other gets a k i c k out of having her chase him all over creation ( what a needy thing ) .
