Effervescent You

Edward Nashton x GN!Reader

A little ficlet about Edward's feelings for you. TW for stalking and voyeurism. Suggestive.

Edward laid in his bed, thoughts consuming his ragged mind each night the way they always had – aside from one tiny detail, that was.

Tonight they focused deeply on you.

He wondered when it was, exactly, that he had fallen for you. When it was that his mind decided to insert you into the messied fray of mental gunfire, tried to force you to fit into the fragments of a framework he couldn’t afford. And he knew, deep down, that you couldn’t afford it either; if he abducted you into his world you’d fall ill immediately and become a withered rose, the last petals of your pure intention rotting in the decrepit vestiges of his mind. You had to be a savored candy, to be preserved like a limited gem; you were the sparkling foil mastercraft card of his mind, legendarily glinting in the light.

Oh... He could never say that one out loud. You would make fun of him… would you? For all the truth he could unfold from you, he couldn’t understand the absence of your outright social rejection. He waited, and waited, and waited on it, ears back and tail tucked, but the guillotine of cut contact never descended upon him. Hypersensitive hearing that focused on every word you spoke as he trudged past you in the office had you defending him when your coworkers called him a creep. Why? You were making things worse for yourself. He was a creep. Edward Nashton was a massive, horrible, gnashing and terrible creep, the kind that wanted to be the monster under your bed if only it meant another moment of you.

He sniffled and blinked as his tired eyes burned with salt. No more of that. He needed a distraction, now. But… he needed your distraction, yes.

His eyes sweeped across the litter of photos he had taken of you. You were snagged in time, the tiny crooks of your upturned smile radiating through him warmly as you pressed a wad of ones into a waitress’s hand. Oh, you were always so kind and giving, it comforted him at night when the cold crackled in his bones; he could imagine you there, pushing your jacket across his shoulders, and his cheeks would warm him. There was one where you bit into a sandwich, eyebrows knitted in savored concentration, the ends of your fingers paling with the size of it in your grasp. Cute – he wished he could feed you. One he loved, where you were walking home, hoodie raised to shield you from the cacophony of life as you adjusted a pair of bassy Bluetooth headphones. He had loved listening in ever since. He was so glad you’d purchased them.

And, then, another. This one... that made his face flush and guts churn, shamefully: your delicate tongue rasping across the surface of a swirl of ice cream, the flat of the soft pink muscle cream-covered and draping out from the pillows of your lips. Edward swallowed as his eyes lagged across it, taking in the little bumps of your tongue and the soft curve it made, wishing so badly that he could snake his own against it, mentally writhing with the need to have you for his own. But he couldn’t! You? You would never want someone like Edward, you barely knew he existed, and he knew that the less you knew the better off he was to stoke the flames of this… hobby. The more attention he drew to himself, the less of his mask of normalcy would be left for your curious mind to recognize, and you – unlike his other coworkers, he thought – were smart enough to rip it off of him if he didn’t checkmate your every reply.

He shook a little. He needed you like a drug, like drops, he was diseased and disgusting and deathly and delirious and… and you were dovish, decadent, pillow-plush and dreamlike. He needed to distract himself again, from… from you, this time. Edward coughed, a shaky hand fumbling through dusty crosswords until he felt the staple of a fresh one, snagging it with one finger pad and into the bed before pulling a pencil from his pillowcase. Silence. Silence the spiral.

All he knew was that he needed more of you. He'd get more of you.

alright folks, I'll probably finish SVSSS v4 by this weekend (pray for me) and then I'll be done all of MXTX's books and I have no idea which series to try next... So!! I'm going to pose the question to people that might have more experience in the genre! These are ones I've either incidentally acquired or been recommended

I want to play the ace attorney trilogy again but it's only been like a year and a half since I played it for the first time and I remember everything. How to beat the game, where to 'go' etc. Plus I haven't even played the apollo justice trilogy yet

[writeouswriter]

Hrghggh I want this book but can only find the ugly cover version anywhere to buy, usually wouldn't be a problem if I was getting a better deal, but I just really dislike this one for some reason and can't find the good cover I know for a fact exists anywhere

[pardonmydelays]

First time, yes!! She just announced on June 13 that her new musical, “Redwood”, is going to Broadway next year!!!! (It ran earlier this year from February to April) The Queen™️ is back on Broadway! I will definitely try to go to New York next year. Anyways, I got a balcony seat and I hope I don’t regret that lol.

damn, that's exciting! need to do my research on redwood then! i may have heard something about it but now i definitely want to know more 👀 i'm happy for both you & her then. i really hope you will manage to go to new york to see it!

as for the seats, honestly i think there's no such thing as bad seats as long as you're able to attend the show & see your favourite artist. hope you're gonna update me on everything! 🥰

being back in okayama is really cool and is weird only because it doesnt feel weird. i still know where everything is here and i sort of feel like i never left. all of our friends, too, have said while meeting up that it feels like picking up right where we left off. but that is, in itself, weird, because the last time i was chilling here with jake and our friends, he and i werent dating, and now we are, so i get a little caught up sometimes in thinking things are just as they used to be (happy style) and then look over at jake and remember that in addition to everything being pleasantly the same, we get to kiss now.
