post neck stabbing!Jerome

"For the longest time I've waited for you, I couldn't believe them when they told me you were gone." My words surged through the stern tension enveloping the room, emotion riding strong. Light jazz complementing the romantic undertone of the evening.
"Princess, I'm so glad you held onto the memories I left you with, I never intended it to end that way." He softly presses a kiss to my temple, his hands powering electricity into mine by a sole touch.
"Look at Mr.Vocabulary over here." I teased him, winking directly after, he leans his head down, adorned with wispy auburn locks. His nose pressed against mine, I fought the urge to kiss him right then and there but he insisted time to heal, not wanting the unpleasant taste of blood and flesh imposing on me. But to be frank, I couldn't care less, I couldn't hold back if I tried.
Slowly inching my protruding lips forward, he doesn't wave me off, engaging in it. The first time our lips met since his preconstructed fate. It wasn't as unpleasant as my first thought, quite enjoyable, neglecting the fact that I'm not the sanest person alive.

"I Love You"

My eyes widen, now that's a first.
"Are you feeling okay, Jerome?" I feel a slight tremble arise.
"Doll, I know I've never been one for this type of stuff, and I know I said to you that I'm emotionally unavailable most of the time but...this feels different than anything I've known. Don't expect it often but, just know that I do." I took this opportunity to play with him once more.
"You love..who?" I grant a cheeky smile, although he fully understood that I cherished the affection.
"I'm not saying it again, I sound like a pussy." He gives me a small laugh, uncommon of his nature and trademark cackle.
"I Love You Too, Jerome Valeska."

That was then, this is now, things have changed a lot since Jeremiah came around...
