Toxic Romantic

Tricked

Ivy-Riddler

------------

"That bitch !" Taehyung shouted as he came to. His plants shot out, flowers, leaves and vines all coming to comfort him. His cheek hurt, he could feel the blood and the bruise.

Getting up slowly, Taehyung didn't know how long he was out but he went upstairs. He was surprised to see no hoseok. Groaning, he walked to the kitchen to rise out his mouth. He pulled out his phone and blinked as its been almost a day and a half since he was out. Did that cat pack something in his punch ? He had a few text from Jimin and missed calls but that was it. None from the riddler.

"Son of a bitch." Taehyung swore as he wrapped a herbal leaf on his wounded cheek. He could almost cry about his pretty face but it wouldn't take long to heal.

Getting up, Taehyung frowned. It wasn't safe here now. He made his way towards one of the other safe houses, coat covering his bruised cheek as he walked through the bustling streets of Gotham.

Taehyung was getting pretty tired of getting jumped at as soon as he stepped inside the room of his safe house, he was attached. He was confused to see the Riddler glaring at him as he pinned Taehyung down.

"You tricked me beautiful." Hoseok said and Taehyung scoffed.

"Get off of me." Taehyung said shoving Hoseok off of him. Or well tried but Hoseok's grip on him was tight.

"You really don't have a heart do you ?" Hoseok said and Taehyung glared up at him.

"What do you mean ?" 

"You. I think I could solve you right beautiful. You're broken. So you break others too." Hoseok said.

"Shut up. I don't have to listen to you." Taehyung said. "You don't know me." 

"You wouldn't give anyone the chance to." Hoseok said. "Who hurt you beautiful ? Who turned your love into poison ?"

Hoseok wasn't expecting Taehyung to start crying. He didn't expect those green eyes to look so broken as they closed with tears. He loosened his hold on Taehyung and pulled the younger closer to him. Taehyung curled up to him, sobbing hard. 

"I don't like you." Taehyung said through tears. "I can't like you. I won't I won't." 

"Shhh beautiful." Hoseok said, stroking Taehyung's red hair. "Do you think you're the only one who can't love ?"

"Can't ? I won't. There's no such thing." Taehyung sniffed.

"Can I prove you wrong ? Oh this will be another mystery." Hoseok grinned before tilting Taehyung's head up.

"Stop. I was serious. Every person I kissed has died." Taehyung said. 

"You don't want to kill me ?" Hoseok asked and Taehyung smiled, wiping his tears away.

"How wonderful it would be to rid you of this terrible world. But your end won't come from me Riddler." Taehyung said. 

"No. I don't think so either beautiful." Hoseok said wiping a stray tear from Taehyung's cheek.

"Shouldn't you hate me though ? I used you." Taehyung said and Hoseok pondered on that.

"I don't really hate anyone. We all have our reasons so I forgive you. But you're not off the hook that easily. You're still a mystery in so many ways. You intrigue me." Hoseok said. "These lips, your heart."

"Is it lust you drive on Riddler ?" Taehyung asked.

"You tell me Doctor." Hoseok smiled.

"How do you know that ?" Taehyung.

"That's for me to know and you to find out."
