Manipulated

"You don't need a heart to love."

That's what he said, it was true, yet unbelievable.

"A puppet needs to be used, yet you treat me like human."

Venti, Barbatos, has fixed his life up and turned away from alcohol, he had been in love with a Yaksha who was dating another man, Aether, instead of trying other methods or waiting for them to just break up, he manipulated Xiao's close friend, Scaramouche, to get near him. He was a gentleman at first but then he soon showed his abusive and crazy side to the puppet when he had gone even more obsessed with him.

Would he be successful in this act or will he realize the one who is heart belonged to when it's **too late**?

A reason why he could love only The Yaksha? Xiao had an immunity to his disease, so did Scaramouche, but he chose Xiao instead of the person who would choose him over again in exchange for a million daggers to the heart.
