He plays games.
Awful, horrid games.
He tells her that he will break her.
His breath—hands, the pads of his fingers, his lips—ghosts over her skin.
(His fingerprints—his fingers digging, hard, into her skin—will leave marks on her skin, she is sure.)
He tells her that he will break her with that smile tugging at his lips.
And all Naminé can do is close her eyes and keep on breathing, pretending.
(Even as he steals her breath away.)
Marluxia plays games. He tinker-toys with the mind—the nonexistent heart—because they have no heart that beats, breaks or aches, pulsating inside of them (her).
He toys and toys until, finally, the thread has snapped and there is nothing but a husk of what they once where.
Naminé knows this. She knows to bite her lips when he touches her shoulders, when he traces the thin, pressed-to-the-bone skin on the under-side of her wrist, when his lips brush the pulse-point along the curve of her neck and shoulder blades, when his fingers tugtugtug at her hair.
She knows not to cry—for he, in his madness, relishes it—and to keep, silent, stiff because trembling will just make everything worse.
(The bite marks on her skin are proof of this.)
He tells her that he's creating something out of the parts of her he breaks. She knows that he isn't.
When he looks at her, her blood runs cold in the empty space in her chest where her heart should be (but isn't), and it hurts for a reason she can't grasp.
(And Naminé hates him.)
"I love you," he whispers sweetly.
And all Naminé wants to do is make him stop.
The game will never stop.
Even in the end, it will live on.
Through her, it leaves its mark—it thrives.
And with it, she feels a bit dead inside (like a liar)..

Author's Note: Um, yeah, I know. This is crap and, um, will be the last thing I post before the New Year 'cause of, um, stuff. Inspired heavily by yell leader and Raihu—I highly recommend that you read them both as they won't leave you disapointed, I'm sure. ;) – pixie paramount (12/12/2007, 12:15 AM)
