You put your wounded hand into his hand, feeling electricity pulsing from the touch, making you shiver from excitement. You watch as he carefully put disinfection, which is not stinging as you expected.

You notice he was checking you, waiting for any signs of your pain. This side of him surprises you, as it's so different than the mad man who forced you to cut yourself.

"Why are you doing this?" You ask, breaking the comfortable silence.

He's silent for a few seconds, and if he was thinking about the answer he successfully hid it.

"Your parents still haven't paid. I don't want to take care of you in case of a blood infection," he replies casually.

His words reminds you that you're practically his prisoner. That behind this soft looking appearance, he was just showing you, there still was the crazy psychopath.

He starts to bandaging your hand, his fingers so soft and skillful, making you feel so good in his treatment. After he's done, he simply looks at you.

There's yet another moment of silence, his hands still holding yours. The silence isn't awkward, or heavy. It's comforting, almost electrical. You're definitely lost in his blue eyes, and you snapped out of whatever hypnosis he put you in when you feel his breath on your face as he's too close now.

You're already holding your breath, butterflies in your stomach wake up and your heart is pounding so widely.

"Sorry," he whispers, standing up.

You're so confused over yourself, mainly because how you even let him be so close without even realizing. And the worst thing was how nice it felt.

He walks away, leaving you alone with your thoughts. You're kinda uncertain what to do now, when he left without any other instructions.

So you just sit there, enjoying the softness of the couch for a few more minutes, when he returns back with your favorite pizza, which is still surprisingly warm.

"Here. I promise it's not poisoned."

He turns himself, walking away. Suddenly you feel alone, your social instincts start to kick in.
