Moony and Wormy (1x1)

[Wormgod]

Artyom raised a brow, "No, Viktor hit you, and I am going to kill him."

[MoonlitxMidnight]

"It was not! And you're not going to touch him!" Bella hissed, glaring at Artyom. "You just hate him because he's actually making me happy!"

[Wormgod]

Artyom lightly flicked the bruise on Bella's cheek and slid off of her bed, grabbing a knife he kept floating in his water-bed, "No offense, but why should I believe the girl who took a punch to the face and tried to hide it?" He mused, "Don't worry, this is only for show. I'll drown him in the swimming pool." He paused and pulled a heavy box out from under his bed. It was full of porcelain lidded cups; each held a human soul. He chose an empty one and stuffed it in his pocket, "I keep their souls. If you want, I will make him your slave."

[MoonlitxMidnight]

"Ow!" Bella whimpered when he flicked her bruise, then shot up and grabbed his arm to keep him inside. "Stop! Don't, Art, please!" tears stream down her face and she buried her face in his arm, sniffling. "Just... Don't leave me alone tonight. Please? Just... Do it tomorrow."

[Wormgod]

Artyom stopped and slowly looked at Bella. Behind her, he could see the forms of souls he had taken--they got a little "excited" when he took out the box. They were waiting for him to open a filled jar, accidentally or purposefully setting one free.-- He ignored them and dropped the knife, briefly hugging her, "Okay. I'll do it tomorrow." He murmured.

[MoonlitxMidnight]

Bella sniffled and, when held against Arty, he could likely feel her trembling. Bella hugged him right and buried her face in his chest, crying softly.

[Wormgod]

Art patted her back softly, half-shushing her and half-shushing the creepy shapes around them. They quickly disappeared when they realized he wouldn't free them, and he relaxed and awkwardly calmed her, trying to not feel anything from this.

[MoonlitxMidnight]

Bellatrix's crying was muffled as she clung to Artyom and her shoulders shook. She swayed a bit on her feet. "I'm sorry for lying... I really did like him though. He wasn't a tool to get at you with." she mumbled shakily.

[Wormgod]

Artyom sighed and slowly pulled away, "I'm sorry for treating him like that." He mumbled.

[MoonlitxMidnight]

Bella looked up at Artyom, looking sleepy and confused and much like a hurt child. She didn't want him to pull away. "N-no, it's fine. He really was a jerk. All shifters have bad tempers." she said, looking down at the ground and wiping her eyes.
