echo, narcissus

Who: Echo and Narcissus
When: Friday evening
Where: Narcissus' place
What: Echo comes over because he asked her to.
Warnings: We'll see...

There was not much more in the world Echo could possibly want than for Narcissus to care about her. As of late he had been quite bearable, even sweet at times. She couldn't describe the joy she felt that he was finally, finally letting her into his life. He was being nice. He even complimented her from time to time. What more could a girl ask for?

(How about a guy who wasn't a complete dickhead and in love with himself?)

Echo showered and changed into something comfortable before heading over to see Narcissus. As always, she wondered what he needed to see her for. There would always be that doubt in her mind about them. That every time he needed to see her for any reason, it was to call everything off. This was no different. It came with the territory.

When she arrived a little ahead of time she contemplated whether she should wait until exactly when he said he wanted her there or if she should go ahead and ring the doorbell. Biting her thumbnail nervously, she thought about what to do and then realized it was nearly time so she rang to bell anyway. For once she didn't wear her earmuffs. She had become that comfortable around him. But she still had them stashed away in her purse.

Echo let him guide her to the couch, still wondering how things would go. If he would be insistent about taking things a step further. (She just wasn't ready.) Or if this was one of those visits in which he would point out flaws. (They usually went that way no matter what the visit was about.)

She had gotten used to his presence and perhaps even more confident than she should have been. But somewhere inside that beautiful head of hers she doubted this entire thing.

When Narcissus looked at Echo he didn't see beauty. He saw a creature that had latched onto him. He could even say that her being around physically was a drain on him. He could stand it when she was just an idea, a thought, or a name. In the flesh it disgusted him.

"Don't act so nervous, it makes you twitchy." He took a seat beside her. If he were to get this over with now he might feel better about himself later.

	The more he spoke this way the need to put on her earmuffs grew. She felt she had every reason to be nervous. The vibe he was giving off didn't exactly scream let's get intimate. She merely nodded at his words and hated how she had to repeat them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He sat down beside her, pretending that her face didn't completely disgust him. He could feel her heartbeat practically leap out of her chest when he took her hand into his lap.

He wouldn't spend another listless night seated in front of the television or listening to music. They'd kissed, made a few advances, but in the end physically Echo was a distant body. Narcissus needed to feel desired, just her presence alone didn't make him feel that way. It was abusing her in the end, but Narcissus would never be able to think of anyone but himself.

He gave her a pleasant smile, easing the tense air. He leaned in, petting her blond curls away from her face, his nose a soft touch against her cheek. He knew she'd thought about this more than once before.

As he took her hand Echo suddenly felt a sense of ease. Maybe she was just being paranoid. She released a sigh of relief without realizing she had been holding it in.

As much as Echo wanted to give him everything he wanted she still had her limits. He had said he wanted her to think for herself, and she did. All the time. Especially when it came to intimacy. Men were few and far between and the one she really wanted was right there making advances. Or so she thought. But it still didn't make her comfortable.

She allowed him to touch her but other than a shy, gentle touch to his hand or his face she made no other advances.

There was a tick of annoyance that she stayed still like a little rabbit awaiting an attack. He kissed her cheek, smoothed her hair back on either side of her face then a soft kiss to her lips.

Narcissus was mistaken at thinking that Echo would give him everything he wanted to make him happy. It was there that he was foolish because no one would ever give him everything he wanted. It was part of the curse.

Echo had very little experience with men. Either she didn't know what to do or she was simply too shy to try something. Who could blame her? Plus her experiences with men in general had been a mixture of dread, sadness and panic. The girl needed to take it slow, Narcissus!

If it was in Echo's power she would have given him anything he asked for. (Why had she been doomed to love a heartless bastard?) But right now he asked something she could give in return. A gentle smile appeared as he kissed cheek, and then when he moved to kiss her she returned it gently.

What Echo lacked Narcissus wasn't exactly a winning teacher. He abused her kindness every time he asked to see her. He was willing to see how far he could take her, power play her for his own self-esteem. He didn't care about how scared she may have been.

His kiss was soft and gentle, but her own was as timid as the rest of her. He peter her mouth open with his tongue. Gentle at first, just a soft lick against her lips, guiding her along.

Whether she had a good teacher or not she would always feel that she needed to do whatever he wanted. Short of sleeping with him until she was ready and sometimes she thought he understand, while other times she thought he was going to be incredibly angry. She was scared of it.

For now Echo allowed him to guide her. At first she was comfortable with this, this she could handle. Even a little tongue she could deal with, so she did.

	Both hands clasped her face, this time with more than a gentle nudge. "Stop being so timid." He was growing tired of this game. She either loved him enough to do as he wanted or she was useless. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hehehehehe. I figured something went wrong but now that makes SO much more sense.

Echo felt suddenly very uncomfortable. Yes, this was the man she loved. But she just wasn't ready. Even as she echoed his words she pulled away firmly and shook her head. She hated disappointing people, especially him, so it wasn't an easy thing to do. But she couldn't just do something because he wanted or told her to. Just the other day he had told her to think for herself. He had even said it pleased him, which in turn pleased her. Surely he would understand she was speaking her mind so to speak.

	He should have cared for her insecurities but it just agitated him. "Are you saying no?" he said with a flick of his dark brow, an indigenous look on his face. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Echo frowned, forced to repeat what he said as she nodded slowly. She hated disappointing him, even right now when she wanted to give him everything he could possibly want. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He made a displeased noise pushing her off of him, turning it on her. "Get off me." He stood then brushing himself off as if she'd left some kind of disease on him. If she couldn't even bother she was of little use anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Echo made a little sound as he pushed her off, surprised at the turn of events. Her voice had grown to a whisper as she repeated his words, watching him with agony. She hated this. She hated that because she refused he had turned so easily. She jumped up, unable to really do anything. She came closer, trying to hold him as she had so many years before.

	Narcissus pulled a glass from his wine cabinet, pouring a glass and ignoring her pleas. "Don't try to persuade me. It's pathetic when you whine." He kept his eyes on the blank wall. He waved her off with his hand, not once turning to face her. "Go home Echo." (Reply to this) (Parent)
