He can sense the intruder's presence, disturbing his personal space.
He smiles mockingly into the night, awaiting his victim.
He knows before he hears a single sound- Harry.
His son's voice fills the empty space, calling out for his father.
Harry's constantly holding out for Norman, even though Norman's abandoned him countless times before.
The cries are begging pleas lost amidst time and space, the sounds echoing off into the darkness he's created.
Harry's eyes search nervously in the blackened night, craving the affection he's been deprived of for all these years. The years melt into decades, Harry losing time and rationality.
He craves his father, needs him to validate these overwhelming feelings crashing upon him. Emotions pull at him, tugging with invisible strings.
Every time Norman's shoved him away with cold hands, Harry loses reason. That brief touch alone ignites desire; the coldness burns, flames engulfing bare skin.
Harry's questioned the relationship boundaries of father and son over and over, the lines shifting until they blur together as one.
After all, isn't fatherly love unrestricted by boundaries?
Norman can make out the shape of his son, mingling with the present darkness in his heart.
Harry's upset, he's hurting.
Norman's guilt surfaces, regretting every missed hour with his son.
Norman braces himself against banister, hands seeking refuge from every dark thought consuming his mind.
I'm his father, I'm his father.
Norman forgets this silent mantra as he looks at his son.
Tortured, hurt, begging, lonely- I could change that.
He welcomes Harry into his arms, embracing this unfamiliar individual he helped create. His son tightly closes his eyes, pressing his body against Norman. Both father and son bridge the gap they've created, patching each blemish and bruise.
Harry fights his emotions, shuddering from this sudden contact, every nerve rising to meet this welcomed, comforting touch.
He's forced from those protective arms to be held at a distance for Norman's inspecting eyes. Harry stays still, waiting for his father to reject him once again.
Rejection never surfaces, Norman watches his son in amazement.
How had he ever looked past such beauty? How had he ever deprived himself of this pleasure?
Harry's afraid that he'll wake up with a memory, a ghost replacing this embrace. He couldn't face a mere memory without this present reality.
Both father and son thirst for more of this forbidden touch. Norman pulls Harry back against his chest, savoring every contour of his body. Together they blur into one, much like the lines separating lovers from relations.
Norman meets black eyes clouded with conflicting emotions; Harry avoids his father's eyes, still recovering from that burning touch.
Norman can see the layers of hurt, the same hurt he's successfully driven back into the hellish parts of his own soul.
Harry desires everything he can and cannot give. Weak, needy, hungry- and tragically beautiful; Harry's white face contrasts with the framing dark fabric shielding his body from his father's inquiring eyes.
He's restrained himself for too long.
For the first time, Norman frees himself from these chains he's anchored himself to. Restraining shackles fall against bruised skin, Norman revealing his true feelings to Harry.
Harry's confused by this new warmth in his father's normally cold eyes.
Norman's revealing his hidden secrets to his son, the darkest desires rising to the surface, awaiting judgment.
Norman desires intimacy without boundaries, possessive uninhibited touches. Looking at Harry, he marvels at the strength he possesses.
Have I been the weaker one all along?
He can hear Harry's voice justifying his absences, always defending his father, even from himself.
Such loyalty, such respect.
Harry can feel the strong hands stroking his back, relaxing him until Harry trusts him completely.
Norman gently pulls him closer, Harry watching his father with widened eyes. He can still sense his son's fear with every step backward he takes, leading Harry throughout this haunted labyrinth.
Together they pass doors, shut tightly from curiosity. Windows frame their secret world, Norman guiding his son to the familiar furniture.
Harry allows Norman to lead him, whimpering as his father lifts him unto the brocade couch. Harry remains motionless, bending to his father's slightest will. Norman watches his son intently; every movement sends Harry into his trap.
Like a cat playing with his prey, Norman positions Harry to his liking. The gentleness is gone, each touch burning with urgency. Harry whimpers as Norman lifts up his shirt, ignoring the questioning in his son's eyes.
Norman reveals alabaster skin with each shred of fabric. Harry's skin glittering against the contrasting furniture he lies upon.
Norman runs his hands curiously across Harry's chest, exploring each and every forgotten curve. Harry responds to his touches, offering his body to his father.
Norman can feel Harry's uncertainty reflected by the tension in his black eyes, he trusts his father, but he's still unsure of these emotions pressing against him.
Such smooth and wondrously corrupted flesh.
Norman massages his son, fingers spreading across virgin flesh, gradually moving lower until Norman's hands collide with Harry's belt.
Harry remains calm, surrendering himself to each of his father's touches. If he could, he'd suspend this moment forever, his father stroking his skin, spreading warmth with every motion.
Norman runs his hands over the cold steel thoughtfully before unbuckling the tip. Harry closes his eyes in fearful ecstasy as Norman slides the black fabric down his legs.
Norman smiles with every intake of breath from his son. Norman believes Harry's been craving this intimate dark pleasure for a while, satisfaction marking his features with this sinful thought.
Norman traces Harry's outline, gliding across dampened flesh. He marks his son with each possessive touch of his lips, saliva wet across his son's previously hidden delicate skin.
So beautiful, so desirable- and mine.
Norman sweeps a finger inside his inner thighs, tracing the thickened muscle.
Harry's moans of incoherent pleasure send Norman over the edge, abandoning composure.
He couldn't stop now even if he wanted to- he needed it, they needed it.
Norman tastes Harry for the first time, sucking on his son's member greedily. Harry whimpers in torturous pleasure, every desire burning until Harry feels feverish.
Norman releases Harry's erect member from his mouth, feasting on his son's expression. Harry refuses to meet his eyes, still shameful of his reactions to his father's ministrations.
Looking at his son, Norman wonders how he ever neglected this stunning creature. He vows to never make the same mistake again.
He'll make up for certain inequities, heal the scars.
Norman alternates between gentle and firm touches, the inconsistency mirroring their own relationship after all these years.
He wants to know everything, touch every inch, learn every curve, imbedding each mental image of Harry positioned here for eternity.
Norman spreads Harry's legs apart, running a finger down until he reaches his tender anus. Norman grasps Harry's hands firmly in his before twisting a finger inside.
Harry cries out loudly, his screams lost on Norman's ears.
Harry's never experienced this pain before, each movement cutting, unforgiving.
Harry fights his father's restraining hands, Norman tightening his grip warningly; they've both taken the journey to hell together, it's too late to return.
Once lost, lost forever.

Norman strokes Harry's lower back soothingly before joining a third finger with the others. Harry's body glistens with sweat, shuddering against the unfamiliar appendages.
Harry's cries turn into moans as Norman crooks his fingers inside. Norman shifts his position once more, sending Harry closer to orgasm than screams.
Norman abruptly withdraws, Harry's eyes closed tightly to block out the painful exit. Norman lifts him against his chest, muttering reassurances to soothe his bruised and trembling son.
Harry screams once more as Norman presses himself inside, his hands clawing against his father's back.
Norman quiets him, stroking Harry's abdominal muscles before drifting down to wrap one hand around his member to distract his son from the torturous pain. Harry surrenders to his own orgasm, crying out into the darkness.
Norman thrusts urgently inside his son, focusing on his own pleasure.
Harry's tears break the silence, shuddering as his father pumps harder into him. Norman joins Harry's cries with his own, climaxing forcefully.
He's never experienced this pleasure before, each articulate thought vanishing from his mind. For the first time, he's satisfied.
Norman slips out of Harry, gently placing him against the fabric once more. Norman touches his beautiful son, comforting the young man before abandoning him to complete restful darkness.
