scars. kth x myg / taegi (bones sequel)

prologue

snakes.

that's what's inside of him, and that's why he needs to slit his wrists.

to let the snakes out.

because they're always inside of him, slithering under his skin and making his arm itch, and they can't find their way out unless he cuts open the skin they're under.

they whisper things to him, in their sly, demonic voices. they whisper to him how he just needs to cut a little deeper, and then they'll be gone forever. they whisper to him how easy it is to end a human life, and how easy it'd be for him to end his own. they chew on the skin of his wrists and keep whispering to him, their voices slowly rising to shouts and screams and shrieks, and yoongi can't get them to be quiet until he lets them out.

but they always come back, and he is never able to bear their voices and he always cuts again, covering his ears with arms covered in his dark, red blood, begging them to stop.

begging them.

but they never listen, and they come back every time.

and then yoongi always leaves his bathroom with new cuts lining his pale skin, with a watch and bracelets clasped around his left wrist to hide them.

to hide the scars.

and the scars are the snakes,

that whisper things to him.

they whisper to him that he needs to die.

or; yoongi cuts to quiet the voices whispering within his skin, and taehyung's there to stop the voices for him.

snakes?

the snakes.

what snakes, yoongi?

the snakes that tell me that i need to fucking die.
