Antlerboy and Satin are playing Dominos on the filthy carpet when Asher comes home. It’s 2:00 in the morning. Antlerboy raises an eyebrow and Satin sighs; Asher looks between the two of them and continues to wipe Lauraline’s lipstick off his chin.
“Screw anyone famous?” Antlerboy asks, forgetting that Asher’s quicker.
In a moment, one of Antlerboy’s horns is grasped between the seraph’s fingers, and he’s being dragged along to the kitchen.
Satin cleans up to the sound of a beer opening and Antlerboy screaming.
For the first time in days, she’s smiling to herself.
The stir reminds her of Damien.

Antlerboy sounds like someone I would strangely like. I'd like to see more of him in the future :) I like Seraph too; her inclusion in the scene made it slightly comical (not meaning she's a silly character, but the idea of Asher ripping Anterlboy's spleen out through his throat while she does dishes is darkly hysterical.)
ReplyDeleteKEEP WRITING CAUSE I LOVE THESE.
Due to my poor writing skills, there's been a slight misunderstanding.
ReplyDeleteSeraph isn't a character; Seraphim is a term for angel, so Seraph is an alternate name for the race of angelic being Asher represents.
