novelistcore:the slaughter of finches character introduction [ ii. / v. ]caspian emlyn : a boy of ghosts and fingertip lullabies. | his tag.The abhorrent ghosts, each a faux companion, trickled into his opaque vision in a blur of purified malice as he beheld his lover from afar, a man masked by a spectrum for every shrewd ally who’d teased him about his lack of admiration for the female anatomy and booze, dreading that now, he’d finally hold the hand of his drunken wraith.“You awful fuck,” it cooed into his ear, “you’re going to lose him, too.”It then leered against his flushed cheek, and just the slight thought of it lingering near plunged the anthem of its cackle into his core, shredding his own refrain beat by beat, rhythm by cowering rhythm.

To fall, to please so many ghosts, still holding his hands.He breathed, densely so, and Milo was there. “Cas?” a voice murmured, though it sounded so much like home that he wasn’t sure if it, too, was a beast in his own mind. “Shit.”The scar trimming his jaw, set about by this beast, capered about his chin as he wavered there, the phantom fingers now tracing a course on its path to his lips, silencing him. Milo was there before the malevolence had poisoned his tongue, blending into the soft motion with a trace of his own fingtertips, pulling Caspian back into the reality in which only one ghost still remained. “I’m here.”A foreign ghost that would not, could not, wound him. “Thank you.” tag list (let me know if you’d like to be added/removed) | @writerightmegpie, @thewriterkatie, @eunoiadream, @ava-burton-writing, @mirror-of-too-many-books, @lefttowritee, @forlornraven, @cavewriter, @caretaker2125, @artiewrites, @gloriyous, @sheeplymade, @priyaele, @natalierosewrites, @delphwrites, @softegods, & @scriptuurient. -- source link
