CLEMENCY, CORPSE HUSBAND

38

"Have I scarred you?"

"Perhaps?"

"I'll sleep on the sofa... I'm just playing with you." She smiled lightly, reassuring him that it's fine.

"Oh. You-" started Corpse but he stopped himself.

"Hm? Spit it out."

"Never-mind."

"Say it."

"If you want to..." He tried again "You can sleep beside me." spoke Corpse hesitantly.

"You don't have to force yourself-" She started

"I want to."

The wind from outside became louder. Knocking on their windows, begging to come in.

"I want to sleep with you." He repeated, staring at her.

Mei didn't respond.
Instead she stared back at him in shock. She had never expected those words to leave his mouth. She suddenly understood how Corpse had felt when she said the same thing.

"See how It feels?" He spoke, breaking the taunting silence.

"Mmm." hummed Mei absently. Her mind taking her places...

He waved a hand in front of her face.

"Mei?"

"Are you sure?" She asked. Their eyes connected, dark eyes meeting hers.

Corpse swallowed hard before responding. He was thinking it over but once he glanced back at Mei, he knew what he desired. "I'm sure." He confirmed.

Mei pushed away all the weird thoughts and composed herself. "Take me to our bedroom then." She spoke, knowing well how It sounded.

"Always have to make it weird, don't you Mrs Riddle?" He laughed.

"I regret telling you about my secret lover." sighed Mei jokingly.

"At least you told me." He shrugged

"I called myself Mrs. Riddle once." started Mei "Once!" She repeated.

"Twice." corrected Corpse

"There's no difference!"

"Yes there is, maybe you need to go back to school."

"Fuck off."

"Okay bye."

"See this is the good thing in real life, you can't actually leave." explained Mei

"Watch me." Corpse spoke as he took a step towards the door.

"You're going to leave your own house? That isn't very smart, is it?"

"Good point." spoke Corpse, turning back.

"Bedroom." spoke Mei as soon as he turned back towards her.
