Pete’s thighs were parted, revealing a strip of chipping linoleum countertop that he took the liberty of sliding a fingernail beneath and picking at, assisting in its demise to add a few more to the list of ‘comfortable flaws’ that composed Patrick’s not-so-swanky apartment.

“Could you not do that?” Patrick asked, lips drawn tight like they were poised for battle and gaze firmly focused on the uneven rows of tomatoes lined up on the chopping board in front of him beneath the ends of his copper hair. Pete’s eyes rounded out a bit around the edges and he promptly plucked his hand away from the counter, settling it innocently in his lap. “No, not… okay, well, don’t do that either, but I mean. Seriously. Stop.” He nudged Pete’s knee with his hip, never missing a beat in his studious slicing, to try to convince him to halt the discordant swinging of his ankles into the cupboard door that was throwing off the steady rhythm of the blade silently parting the pliable flesh of the fruit before making a hushed thud against the cutting board.

“Oh, right. Sorry,” and as if the apology wouldn’t suffice, Pete offered up one of his award-winning grins in an attempt to make the ordeal seem more sincere. Patrick was about to wonder whether or not Pete was aware of how forced and fabricated his smiles could appear, especially in such wantonly endearing moments, but his thought process was cut off by an ambassador from his nervous system rushing into his brain to deliver the message of pain.

“Fuck,” Patrick hissed in a sharp breath through the spaces between his gritted teeth, retracting his hand hurriedly from the diced tomatoes, the knife clattering to the floor and narrowly missing severing one of Pete’s shoelaces. Hand cradled to his chest, Patrick looked up as Pete dutifully hopped off the counter and took a gentle hold of his wrist, lifting the singer’s pale, limp hand and meeting Patrick’s gaze with some pressing tacit message that didn’t quite wriggle its way into Patrick’s understanding. Pete was still regarding him down the line of his blanched arm as he took the wounded finger into his mouth, inches of shivery skin disappearing behind ripe lips as the tip of a tongue traced the slit of the cut.

“Don’t,” Patrick gasped, jerking away and feeling his fingertip catch on the lower row of Pete’s teeth.

“Why?” Pete half-laughed, making another grab for the fine bones of Patrick’s wrist and betraying a hint of a frown and furrowed brow when the shorter man only backed away from him again, gradually cornering himself against the stove.

‘Because I love you and it hurts.’ “It hurts,” Patrick said, voice soft as if the will to summon breath to speak had bled out of him and was gracelessly mixing with the paler shade of red tomato juice already staining the counter.

“Well, I think the point is to heal you.” The grin was back, twitching to life at the corners of Pete’s mouth as he advanced, almost close enough for their knees to brush.

“You can’t,” Patrick said, quivering almost-against Pete, his own blood seeping through his fingers as he tried to grip his hand hard enough to stop the bleeding, stop whatever part of him he was losing from spilling from himself. “You can’t,” Patrick said, like a dying breath.

“It’s a shame,” Travis sighed, glancing over at the untidy mess of blanched limbs and bed sheets. “You were so pretty.” The cuffs of his shirt neatly fastened and hair, tousled by desperate hands, tamed, he walked back to the side of the bed, which probably should have been emitting the soft murmurs of sleeping breaths from the recently ravaged young man occupying it, but really, that’s just a slight detail. He threw back the covers, which had, apparently, been a little too white for Travis’s tastes, as he’d seen fit to add some stains of vibrant color to them, and flipped over the corpse. A few beads of sweat that had been born from living pores only a few short minutes ago still clung to the skin between the body’s defined shoulder blades, and Travis allowed himself a moment to smile sweetly over such adorable ironies before promptly removing his dagger (one of the best in his collection) from its resting place between the dead man’s thighs.

There was a seeping bullet wound placed decisively in the center of the body’s forehead, too, but Jeph had screamed so melodically when the knife was sheathed in his ass, and Travis, tickled by the idea of fucking his victim again in a slightly new fashion, had simply been unable to resist the urge. He always did have a problem with impulse.

But really, he thought as he let himself silently out of the apartment, almost bored by the knowledge that, yet again, the fumbling police would be entirely incapable of catching him, these victims were making it far too easy for him nowadays.

sphinx38: Travis?
CheshireCat: Yeah?
Sphinx38: I know that this is like, way out of left field and all and we haven’t been talking that long and hey! Creepy axe murders and child pornographers and shit lurk in chat rooms all the time, but do you maybe wanna… I dunno, like…
CheshireCat: Why, Jeph! Are you asking me to marry you?
Sphinx38: …hilarious. Really.
CheshireCat: What can I say? It comes naturally.
Sphinx38: But like, seriously. Do you maybe want to… come by my place? And… well, y’know.
CheshireCat: Of course I do. Have you SEEN yourself? I’ll even grammatically demean myself and use the term “hawt.”
Sphinx38: Gee, thanks. I’m eye-rolling right now. Do you wanna come now?
CheshireCat: Sure.
Sphinx38: Awesome! I’ll see you in a bit.
CheshireCat: Jeph?
Sphinx38: Yeah?
CheshireCat: Does this mean we’re not getting married?
Sphinx38: Dude, shut up and bring your lube.

“It hurts,” pouts the Patient with lips fit for rescue shelters cast in chain link fences and cement foundations laid with the intention of enticing bill-flipping pity.

“What does?” Asks the Nurse, smiling because his face has forgotten everything else.

“I don’t know. Nothing.” He dies, blood at the corner of a cerulean mouth.

Everything.
