Prompt from Gerkyhen: 'Somebody (anyone of your choice) cheating on Somebody else, and having to sneak them out of the apartment. Can be done in any genre you want :L' Hope you like, Gerkyhen!
Knock. Knock. Knock.
The sound at the door is the death knell again. Aarch's whisper sends shivers down his spine as he sends him into the cupboard to hide.
He watches through the crack as Aarch lets Adium in; Aarch's face is so happy, so normal, he doesn't miss a single beat in his response to her question.
"Of course you can come in; you know I always have time for you."
They sit on the bed and begin to talk, well Adium talks and Aarch at least makes a pretence of listening.
Aarch doesn't even glance at the cupboard that houses Artegor. That's how scarily good he is at this.
Artegor shifts his position, slightly, which causes the door to creak. Perhaps it was purposeful; he's sick of hiding in the dark, part of him wants, just once, for Aarch to get caught.
To distract her from the faint sound, or as revenge on Artegor for making said sound, Aarch kisses Adium, with full knowledge that Artegor can see and hear everything.
It occurs to Artegor that Aarch could have turned Adium away, that he could have pretended that he wasn't in, could have done so many things.
But it seems he has to make Artegor see this. He has them both exactly where he wants them; Adium in the dark and Artegor knowing the painful truth.
Panic sets in as their breathing becomes heavier; how much of this was he going to have to see?
Eventually, Adium excuses herself to nip to the bathroom.
Aarch hastily opens the wardrobe door and gestures to Artegor to leave. Aarch is never consciously cruel, never accountably cruel.
Artegor leaves.
He hates himself for looking back.
That's it for this part- when Gerkyhen gave me this prompt I could immediately see two options- the angsty route and the comedy route, I liked the idea of both, so I'm working on a comedy version as a second chapter. Hope you enjoyed; please review!
