Title: Reminiscing
Author: Klebkatt
Pairing(s): Skullmaster/Virgil
Summery: After being caught by Skullmaster in the first part of Pandora's Box, Virgil remembers how old his 'friendship' with the villain goes.
A/N: I meant for this to be a fleshed out fic, but this is all that will come out at the moment. I will hopefully add to this later, but I have a habit of not doing that. :C
'Old friend' indeed. It rolled off his tongue in a growl, no longer the purr he remembered from so long ago. He was warped and dangerous before his reign down below in the deep, but it seemed five thousand years had brought out what evils had been in him, buried in camouflage under his pale white skin.
Virgil was a prophet, a philosopher, but he had always been a teacher. He had taught this man, this Skullmaster, all that he knew; even the things that he should have never taught a pupil.
When Skullmaster pulled him up by his robe, he remembered when the hand was gentle. When that clawed hand plucked feathers within the same grasp, he remembered the strange pleasure he felt from caressed feathers, how goosebumps prickled to life on the skin underneath. The move was not intimate, but Virgil's mind flashed to a time when being that close to the other was not so revolting, but desired. Back then, white lips and tongue would have another type of training in mind; beneath willow trees on cool summer nights.
