Waiting


Spoilers for around up to chapter 28 of the manga


"Stein…" She cooed, the words rolling off of the tip of her tongue like silk. "Stein…"

He gripped his head, torn between a tossup of confusion, annoyance, and maybe even delight.

"Stein…" She chuckled mercilessly, delighting in the spasms of his heart, in the confusion of his current state.

"Go away!" He growled.

She drew her fingers across his chin, "You don't want me to…" She snickered. "You want to know. You want to know." His body shuddered – with anticipation or fear she couldn't be sure. "Give in, Stein. It'll be so much fun if you do…"

"I won't…I won't…"

"It's not so bad…Rather fun if you really think about it." She pressed more firmly into him. "I love you." She sang.

Then quickly, snap, shudder, snarl. She's gone. Medusa is back inside the darkened room surrounded by her candles, her books, and her plans. She fingers the hair of the child she's inhabiting and giggles lightly. "I'm waiting, Stein." He fights the insanity rather well, but he can't hold on to his sanity for too long.

Soon he'll give in.

Soon.

She can wait.

She might not know how to love, but she certainly knows what she wants when she sees it. This is as close enough to love as she or Stein will ever let themselves feel.

Medusa looks calmly to the stars. He gets weaker every day, every day she can worm her way into his illusions, into his insanity. She wants him to be hers, and no matter how hard he fights it, it's obvious – he wants to have her.

Murder is the most flattering form of flirtation – a dance of life, blood, and desire.

"Stein…" She cooed to the stars. "I'm waiting." She smiles. "I'm waiting."


A/N: Not particularly a fan of SteinxMedusa (at least currently anyway) it's merely that their relationship (or lack thereof) interests me. Enjoy
