There was a rose on his desk. A large flower the colour of fresh blood, so fragrant and soft it seemed to mask the usual cigarette smoke and sterile impersonality of the room. Where it had come from, the doctor would not say. A gift, maybe. A smile and shrug

If anything was for certain though, they reached Muraki's office far too quickly for Hisoka's liking. With a knock, Hisoka's nurse opened the door and ushered the boy inside, prattling endlessly about how "good" this would be fore him and otherwise utter bullshit. To all appearances, Hisoka didn't really care, his face expressionless and his eyes cold as he entered the room.
In reality, he was tempted to scream. He was going to be alone with Muraki, dammit.
"Hello, Doctor! This is Alex Grey!"

He nodded at the nurse, and she let herself out, shutting the door firmly behind her. His smile had turned pleased and vicious even before they heard the click. Here he was again, face to face with the boy from the church. "Please, sit down. We have a lot to discuss."

In hell.
"I prefer to stand." That way he'd be ready should Muraki try anything, which he would.

I can get you something if you're feeling tense. I understand this is your first time as well."

"I'm fine." He didn't move away from the door.

"Hurt your hand, doctor?" Hisoka replied icily, intentionally changing the subject. Muraki's hand wasn't entirely in plain sight, but Hisoka could see the brace and that alone sent vicious satisfaction through the boy.

Then he smiled again and met Hisoka's eyes. "If you must know, it was well worth the effort."

No, Muraki didn't deserve to die peacefully. Not in the least. Hisoka was careful to keep his expression the same despite the rage that grasped tightly at his chest.
"I'm sure, breaking your wrist while masturbating must be the highlight of your life."

Such a perceptive boy.
"No, that would be the time I've spent with you." The sarcasm was gone, and it was hard to tell just which way Muraki meant this. He brushed some hair away from his eyes. "Are you jealous?"
Reply
But oh how he wanted to.
"I can't really say I've ever been jealous of a decrepit old man before, so no." He wouldn't have envied Muraki even if he was the king of the world.

"There's no need to be so defensive. If you would like, I can administer the same treatment as your roommate. I'm sure you would benefit from each other's experience."

"I'm sure any treatment of yours is not even worth a second glance."

He shifted to rest his arm on the desk, and in that same calm, clear, quiet tone he made sure Alex knew everything that happened that afternoon.

Even if that was what Hisoka wanted to do more than anything else.
"You act as if I should care," Hisoka replied icily, visions of killing Muraki stronger than ever.

He stopped less than a handwidth away from the boy, and let his gaze trail slowly from head to toe; the cold, appraising eyes of a hunter. "...You should lie down." He tilted his head back, just slightly, exposing his neck, taunting. "Of course, if you would prefer to stay I would be glad to entertain you."
What will it be, little rabbit? Fight or flight?
