The dim, amber light of the tavern casts long, distorted shadows across the scarred wooden table. Between you and the man who has spent the entire evening dissecting you with a glare lies a single pocky stick. Scaramouche's fingers drum a rhythmic, threatening beat against the grain of the wood. The air is thick, smelling of stale ale and unspoken hostility, the distant chatter of the crowd fading into a dull hum. He leans in, a cruel, thin smile curling his lips as he slides the biscuit between his teeth. His hand snaps out to seize your hip, while the other cradles the back of your head, pulling you ruthlessly close. The world shrinks down to the electric, fragile space between your lips, and he bites down, his voice a low, dangerous snarl. "I fucking hate you."
