Summary
His master caressed his cheek with the blade. It was so very gentle, the touch so soft that if Mairon closed his eyes he might convince himself that it was his master’s thumb stroking over his cheekbone, or the tip of his master’s nose brushing his face as he coaxed him into a kiss. There was a tenderness to it that was almost unbearable. Mairon shut his eyes and let out an exhale that shook more than he would have liked.
“Look at me,” his master said quietly.
Such softness from him was always more terrifying than if he shouted.
***
Mairon bleeds for his master.
