Sinful Obsessions: Drabbles for Ruby & Bela
Title: Come Crashing in… into My Little World
POV: Bela's & Ruby's
Song: Enjoy the Silence ~ Anberlin (It's originally a Depeche Mode song and while the Lacuna Coil version is my favorite, this one has become far too addictive as well)
A/N: 400 words since there's two povs. I've come to think of writing drabbles as being very therapeutic. Especially when you feel like shit and can't find much else to do but write. Anyway, as always, hope you enjoy. And don't worry, it's gonna get much more exciting very very soon.
Can't believe I'm doing this. That I'd ever drag myself down to this level of need. This is a new low, even for me. The thing is though, that I can't live without her. Wouldn't ever want to in a million years…
Ruby helps Bela off the sidewalk, starts walking in the direction away from the club and neglects to pay attention to see if Bela's following. If she knows what's good for her, she will. If she's too stupid to realize it, like earlier, then oh well, the demon's tried.
She's given the human one last shot, just cause she couldn't live with herself if she didn't. Now it's up to Bela to make her new move on the fucked up chessboard of life.
Ruby can't hide her smile when she hears, actually catches the strong scent of Bela behind her, doesn't let herself turn around until she reaches her favorite diner in town.
Seems like Bela's playing her game after all… and it tastes sweeter than French fries ever could at a time like this.
Oh, Ruby. If only you could forgive me for all the times I've failed you. All the things I've done. I can't stop thinking about hell and even what happened before that, when I would think of never seeing you again…
As much as she longs to feel the demon close beside her, Bela reminds herself that she still must sit at her designated spot in the booth, across from her demon. It's a much better place to view her from anyway.
Ruby orders herself the usual and Bela requests a small salad, something that'll perhaps settle her roiling, emotional stomach but if not then the ginger ale should do the trick. She can't cease staring at Ruby, remarking on how beautiful she is and it's not just because of her vessel, Bela's known that since the day before being dragged down into the pit. It's purely Ruby, the mysteriously haunting demon who still has so much love in her it's intoxicating to the human.
Ruby glances up, her eyes flash black for a moment before she settles down to her meal, sighing softly as she munches. Bela waits.
"We're gonna have a serious talk soon, Bela."
Bela nods, swallows a little but it's for the best.
She owes this to Ruby. And she'll give it in the end with an open heart.
