50 looks at Isaac and Cruella
1- Motion
Isaac only wished to put her heart into motion, like she did with his many years before.
2- Cool
He had almost forgotten how the cool in her eyes could burn him.
3- Young
He never was actually young – except for one night.
4- Last
Just because she was the first and last woman he would have ever loved.
5- Wrong
There was nothing wrong in the way Isaac treated her. And that was exactly the problem.
6- Gentle
On their first time together, Cruella felt secretly almost afraid; she had never been used to such a gentle touch.
7- One
It didn't matter her new frightening look, it didn't matter her hideous soul, it didn't matter the time passed: Cruella was still the only woman he wanted.
8- Thousand
There was a thousand subtle ways in which she showed to be able of having feelings; she didn't know them, but he did.
9- King
"You are the King of pathetics, you know darling?" - But pathetic or not, she was his Queen.
10- Learn
With Cruella he had learnt to do a lot of things: love, suffer, live.
11- Blur
"Darling, what happened between us last night? It's all a blur…" - But if it were a blur of memories or feelings, it was hard to say.
12- Wait
In the end, all his life had been nothing but waiting for her: to meet her, to see her again in the flesh, to see her again in Hell.
13- Change
He didn't believe he could change Cruella's nature, but sadly he knew that he couldn't even change the way he felt about her.
14- Command
And now it was time to teach herself a new command: love.
15- Hold
"Just hold me close, alright?"- It was that kind of sentences that didn't allow Isaac to hate Cruella's excess of alcohol.
16- Need
There was nothing of material that he could give her anymore, but yet she felt like she still needed him.
17- Vision
"Am I having a vision or are you really smiling at me?" "You are having a vision, darling." – But that rare sincere smile was still on her lips.
18- Attention
A smile had been enough to draw Isaac's attention and, since then, Cruella never lost it.
19- Soul
It was absurd the way he had entered her soul, most of all because she didn't believe to have a soul at all.
20- Picture
Isaac still kept their only picture together in the pocket of his jacket, along with the handkerchief she had kissed.
21- Fool
"You are really a fool, darling!" – Especially because he didn't understand that she meant is as a compliment.
22- Mad
It wasn't clear who was the maddest of them: Cruella with her homicide fury or Isaac with his undying desire of loving her.
23- Child
She believed to be no mother material, maybe because she felt like she was herself still a child.
24- Now
The difference was that this time she wanted him too.
25- Shadow
Cruella always considered Isaac like a shadow, not because she had lured him into the dark, but because too see a shadow a bit of light is required.
26- Goodbye
Actually, despite everything, they both hoped that that goodbye wouldn't have been a definitive one.
27- Hide
He didn't have anything left to lose, she didn't have anything else to hide.
28- Fortune
Despite how it ended, Isaac still felt he had fortune in meeting her.
29- Safe
Truth was she felt safe with him - especially from herself.
30- Ghost
He hoped that once dead he would have ended up in Hell, just because he knew Cruella would have been there.
31- Book
After all those years, her eyes were the only book Isaac wasn't able to read.
32- Eye
Cruella would have probably never known it, but Isaac only had that strange twinkle in his eyes when he looked at her.
33- Never
Married with the man she wanted to kill, two kids and even a cat: she had never imagined her life to be like that, but yet she would have never changed it for anything in the world.
34- Sing
He was happy to live with her - even while he listened to her singing Marlyin Manson from the next room.
35- Sudden
It just took to see that angel at the window to suddenly understand what Romeo must have felt seeing Juliet at the balcony.
36- Stop
"Stop, stop loving me, you fool! It hurts me, okay?"
37- Time
Maybe their tme together didn't only belong to the past.
38- Wash
Her soul would have always been dirty, and yet Isaac wouldn't have stopped to try and wash away her ontological darkness.
39- Torn
She was constantly torn between the girl she had pretended to be, the monster she actually was and the woman she suddenly wanted to become.
40- History
It was an unexpected kiss in front of the Rabbit Hole to officially blow away their past history and give start to another one. New, but no less dangerous.
41- Power
A dispenser of power without real power: she was almost sorry not to be able of seeing him in any other way.
42- Bother
In the past his love had amused her, but now it only bothered her somehow.
43- God
His Jewish family had called him Isaac as a symbol of the sacrifice made to God; who knew what they would have thought now, seeing him literally sacrificed to the devil instead.
44- Wall
A wall divided them and another wall divided each of them from the rest of the world.
45- Naked
"Look, darling, you're not the first man I see naked…" – But he couldn't tell the same.
46- Drive
Cruella drove like a mad, but the most dangerous thing was that she drove him mad.
47- Harm
This time she was no harm to him – not only because a spell prevented her.
48- Precious
For him, Cruella was like a diamond: precious, rare and… coming from black dust.
49- Hunger
She just couldn't understand which was the moment she stopped being thirsty for blood and started instead to be hungry for love.
50- Believe
Maybe the problem wasn't that he had stopped believing in her, but that she had to start believing in him.
Hello! I know, I have my collection of one-shots to continue, but I couldn't resist to write this thing. I followed a table found on LiveJournal, by the way. Actually, I wasn't supposed to publish it tonight, but I consideri t a way to celebrate the excellent mark on my last exam and the official end of my first year at university:) Anyway, hope you like it, I will come back for more Authella soon!
