sylus was never one to be injured. with his ability that makes him almost invincible, you never expected to see blood on him that was his.

however, today would be the day that the universe would prove you wrong about that speculation. you are at his house, as usual, exploring his home.

you passed by luke and kieran, his loyal men. they waved at you as per usual. they were like little critters always watching by. you were about 99.9% sure that sylus ordered them to do so whenever you were at his place. he was protective like that.

eventually, you made your way to the common room, and you spotted him inside. upon entering, you saw that he was leaning against the table, his black tank top lifted up to his chest, some blood splattered on his torso while he tended to his forearms with bandages, which he seemed to be pulling on with his teeth. his eyes landed on you soon after, seeing the obvious worry now etched on your features. this was the first time you saw him hurt, after all. what could have happened?

"kitten? my eyes are up here, in case you forgot."

his voice shot through your thoughts, causing your eyes to shoot back up at his. he smirked, tilting his head to the side nonchalantly, as if he wasn't quite literally bleeding out at the moment.

"before you say anything, i'm fine. my ability somehow malfunctioned so i wasn't able to heal properly. i'll figure out what's wrong in a while."

he explained, wanting to keep you at bay.
