Carnal desires of infinity [Deuce]

16 🐙

A/N: sorry y'all. Got hit by a car.

Kiki woke up alone in her apartment, asleep in her bathtub filled to the brim with water. She dried herself and changed into different clothes for school. Scrolling on her phone as she came out to collect her boots.

Pausing when she sees a man judging her possessions. Her eyes narrow and she waits for him to finish.
"Leviathan"

He turn back to her, having a fishlike appearance with long spikes going across his head. Fangs and tusks protruding past his lips and a crisp blue suit on his body.
"Cthylla..."
He took a quick look at her appearance, his silence saying everything she needed to know.

"I don't need to be babysat. You're wasting valuable time"
She walks past him and puts her shoes on.

He runs a finger along her spine and shone his head.
"I needed to make sure you upheld the family values. Tell me, do you have an enemy here."
He questioned.

She nibbled on her cheek as she thought about it.
"Well Manny and Bram kinda suck... but they leave me alone. I guess Cleo? She calls a freak and hit me"

"That's... acceptable. You know what you must do then"
He reaches into his sleeve pulling out an ornate dagger. Holding it out to her.

"...you want me kill Cleo? Overkill, don't you think?"
She pushes past him to sling her bag over her shoulder.
"And even if i wanted to kill her... a dagger?! We have GODLIKE POWERS why would you waste time with this gothic bullshit?"

"Respect your heritage!"
He yelled as she slammed the door behind her.

At monster high Deuce was rummaging through his locker when he saw Cleo waving at him. He waved back politely not thinking much of it. But as she got closer he prepared himself for the argument. Instead he was greeted with a warm smile and a hug.
"Are those new shades?"

He looked around to make sure he wasn't having a hallucination.
"Uh... yeah. The old ones snapped."

"Thought so, it's the good colour on you Deuce"
She trailed her fingers along his arm. Move closer to him with a smile on her lips.
"I've been thinking a lot about that whole 'are we even dating' thing... and you're right!"

"I'm... right?"
Deuce had no idea how to react to this.
"Did you have a stroke? Am I having a stroke? One of us probably needs medical attention..."

"Funny. So funny babe. But it got me to look back and realise, maybe it's time I really tried to work on us?"
The mummy wrapped her arms around neck, looking at him batting her eyes.

He was at a loss for words, looking into lidded eyes before taking a big sigh and stepping away.
"Cleo... There is no us, there hasn't been for awhile now. You keep doing this, making mistakes and feeling bad but you don't learn from it."
Deuce rubs the bridge of his nose shaking his head.
"At the end of the day you can promise as much as you want, but I think it's time we end this. For good this time"

Standing in place, Cleo thought through his words, looking away from him. Her brows furrow, but she turns back with a smile. Pulling him to her and pressing their lips together. Her fingers caress his cheek softly as she held him. Deuce was in shock, but kissed her back wanting to get it over with quick.
After a few seconds Cleo pulls away tapping a finger against his cheek.
"Think about what I said, ok babe?"

She walks past him, her hand lingering against his cheek for a few seconds. He watches her leave, his eyes widening as he sees Kiki standing at the entrance. She'd certainly seen them.
"Kiki..."
Her eyes narrowed and she let out a breath, walking upstairs before he could explain. Deuce could only watch, waiting until she was far enough away before slamming his locker shut and kicking it until the metal dented.
"DAMN IT!"

Kiki opened the door sitting in her usual spot, stopping herself from smiling as a familiar wolfman slid into the seat beside her. She took her textbook out of her school bag, setting up her desk as she talks.

"Wolf"

"Lu"

"Talked to him yet?

"No. He's back with her."

"He wouldn't..."

"He has. And my brother wants me to kill her. With a dagger."

"But... you're not going to do that... right?"

"No. If I wanted to then I would make her lose her mind. But even that seems like too much effort."

"O...k. Want me to hit Deuce with my textbook when I see him?"

"...I wouldn't hate that"
