WHEN THE RAIN STOPS- Scrutinized [TANNER x LUNA] 2 IN 1

Death

|LUNA|

"Will?... cmon please this isn't funny. WILL." I started looking around frantically, talking out loud to myself "Oh no...no no no. OH GOD PLEASE TANNER! NOT WILL! FUCK." That's when I felt hands grab me from behind "aha! Got youuuu." Wills started laughing while hugging me from behind. Resting his head on my shoulder. I held his arms that were around my neck "will..." I chuckled out of relief "Thank god..." my voice started cracking up "Whats wrong moonshine?" He got off my back and turned me to face him. I wiped my tears away. "Nothing! I'm fine. I'm just glad you're ok." I chuckled one last time before going in to hug him. "Yea, Why wouldn't I be?" I stayed quiet. "Luna, why wouldn't I be?" We pulled out of the hug, but before I could answer we heard a voice down the hall "well...this is awkward.." "Tanner.." he walked to us down the hallway, but judging by his twitchy fingers I could tell he wasn't happy. "Wh-what are you doing here?" "Yea and who let you in her house man?" Will became defensive, and stood in front of me. "Will, don't." "No no It's ok. Aye Doctor dude, Who Let You In?" Tanner finally reached us. But he looked at me. He pulled out a pocket knife and his syringe. "You choose moonshine."

Tanner was mocking Will. "Hey! Jackass! LEA-." In the middle of his sentence Tanner swung at him with his knife. I managed to shove him out of the way before anything grazed him. But that's what Tanner wanted. I pushed him back and we fell the floor. I grabbed his face "Tanner! Please..please don't hurt him. I'm begging! Please I'm begging you... DONT HURT HIM." I grabbed his collar and dug my head into his chest "you can hurt me all you want. Just let him go." I cried into his shirt. When I looked up I felt dizzy. Light headed even. "fuck..." I fell limp on Tanner as I saw his hand take out the needle from my neck. He pushed me off of him and got up. His knife screeched on the floor as he picked it up. "Tanner.." I grabbed his pant leg "don't worry Luna. It'll be quick." I felt so weak that i couldn't fight anymore. I could only keep my eyes open while he made his way over to Will. "Will! W-will." The drug was more effective by the second. There was a struggle for a minute. But as soon as Tanner had the advantage, Will lost. I laid in a puddle of my tears as I saw the lifeless body of my childhood friend in front of me. "W-will..." I looked at Tanner who was sitting on the head of the couch, covered in Wills blood. He had an empty gaze with a smile, looking down at the body. "You said I had a choice..." he looked at me, his crazed eyes glaring into my soul. My voice became strict and harsh "You said I had a say in this." He stood up and walked over to me. He flipped me over to my back. "Oh Luna...you got to decide if I had to waste some formula." He smirked. I yelled out "NOOO, STOP! YOU SON OF A BITCH YOU-. AGHHHH!" I wanted god themselves to hear me cry. I wanted the Devil to know what he did. I wanted Tanner to know what he did. "TANNER! YOU'LL PAY! YOU'LL PAY.." my sobs stoped my confession. He got on top of me and leaned down. Will's blood decorated his face. On his cheeks, eyelids, lips and chin. He tucked hair behind my ear and massaged my cheek "shhhh, it's alright. You're fine now." My sobs died down. It calmed me down a little but the next thing he did made me sad again. I tasted blood on my lips as Tanner kissed me gently for once. I closed my eyes to hide the pain. His lips were smooth, his hands were generous, and he didn't treat me like a toy anymore. Well at least not in the moment.

When his lips left mine he sighed and picked me up. Covering my eyes whenever Wills body was in sight. We laid on the couch. Him spooning me. He ran his fingers through my hair. I guess this is his way of making it up to me? He lifted my shirt to show my underwear. "Why aren't you wearing shorts underneath?" "You know why." "Hmph." He took my shirt off and gently kissed my back. He went all the way down to the seem of the lace underwear. But instead of taking it off he licked up my spine. It sent me shivers. I even got goosebumps. "Still taste as good as ever." His hand rested on my waist, I didn't like how close he was. But what else could I do? Nothing. He just killed Will. I'm in shock and my body is numb. The best thing I could do is to wait out the drug. Hell, that's the only option. "Can I ask you something?" I spoke softly "hm?" "Why did you.. want to kill me before?" He thought for a minute "because , from an outside perspective, you were doing nothing but mopping around about your cousins untimely death. So to me, you didn't really have a purpose."
