Summary
|| short-story ||
[ yandere! m! various x f! courtesan! reader ]
She smiles for merchant and noble—husband and stranger. Her disposition is unassuming, and her mien even less so, but her apparent meekness has begun to lose its persuasion.
Her pride dangles from the fingers of the men whose company she keeps, and she walks carefully betwixt them, dutifully toeing the lines they draw for her, but despite her obedience, they have begun to doubt her sincerity—her honesty.
They wonder as to the true nature of her smiles: if perhaps the ones she turns upon them are not as novel and particular as those they reserve especially for her. Their doubt—exaggerated but perhaps not entirely unfounded—has given rise to a terrible desperation, and little good comes of the desperate lover.
