Horror's POV

Lust and I were strolling down the streets of the city that never sleeps. People were walking past us without any care for anyone else.

Lust was in a happy mood until we arrived at his work. He stopped walking and stared at the scene in front of him. There was a box resting on the ground with items pouring from it. The ocelot gal was kneeling down, crying while picking up her belongings.

Lust: Victoria!

Lust ran over to her in a blink of an eye. I followed not so quickly after him. Victoria was gathering things from pins to makeup brushes.

Lust: Victoria, sweetie, what happened?

Victoria: I was fired. All because of my race.

Lust: Who fired you?

Victoria: Mrs. Jennifer did. She just forced me to put my stuff in a box and then threw me out. Like a neglected kitten.

Lust: Oh, sweetie.

He embraced the small cat. She purred lightly. They started picking up the items together.

'Might as well help.'

I bent down and gathered some makeup palettes. Some of the colors were damaged but not enough to be a problem. I handed them to her. Her ears dropped a little out of fear of me. Well, I'm not exactly a daisy, now am I?

Lust: It's okay Vicky, he's with me.

Victoria: Oh, sorry. Nice to meet you.

I simply nodded to her. She gently took the makeup from my hands and put them in the box. Once we were finished, I carried the box while following Lust and Victoria to Lust's apartment.

I was met with Lust's modern white home. The window displayed an astonishing view of the city during the night. I carefully set the box down and rested myself on the couch.

I closed my eyes because of how surprisingly tired I was. Somewhere along the way, Victoria started giving Lust a manicure. I don't exactly understand but, whatever floats his boat. Soon after, I fell asleep.

Lust lightly pushed me awake. He was laying on top of me. He leaned up after he got my attention.

Lust: Look.

He pointed at the window. I looked at where he was pointing. It was lightly snowing outside. The roofs just started to get covered by a soft white blanket. I sat up and admired the view. On the coffee table in front of us, was two glasses of champagne. He gave me one and sat next to me. He tucked his legs under himself as he leaned against my shoulder. Lust's hand glided against my chest and stopped when his arm was hugging me.

Lust: Horror.

Me: Yeah?

Lust: Do you think things will go back to normal. You know, with all the protests and stuff like that.

Me: Knowing this country, if it ends, it will take a long time to recover from it.

He leaned further into me.

Me: I believe that legal killing is the beginning of all of this. It's like a disease. A pandemic. We're all going to get sick eventually.

Lust: I like to stay a little positive. Maybe the monsters and humans will see equal again. I have hope, Horror.

I laughed at Lust's cuteness.

Me: Yeah maybe.

He softly clinked his glass with mine and began to drink from it. I took a sip from mine with Lust snuggled into the fluff of my jacket.

I love nights like these

A Quick Discussion

Sorry I haven't made a real chapter. I'm in a place that is not my normal work setting. I've also been hanging out with my cousin.
