Yami no Matsuei Suzaku/Touda he deserves the punishment, at least that’s what she thinks
Suzaku dug her talons in a little deeper, disappointment flickering through her when the snake refused to make a sound. His blood seeped over her hands, tickled slowly down her arms to drip onto Tenku's stones. An unholy baptism.
Naked, bound, forgotten by most of the world, he still managed to enrage her with his calm golden glare. In her dreams he burned, black heat so great it shredded her feathers, consumed her meager fire and remade it his own, venom like ice sliding through her heart until she sang for her own death.
The Queen of Sparrows is afraid. The fear lies in her heart, a weight of stone pinning her to the unforgiving earth. Afraid of a snake that dares to fly. To burn hotter than the sun that gave her life.
He stole everything from her, this man, without ever baring a fang. He stole her innocence, her childhood, her safe illusions. He deserves to have his hair cut, power broken and fangs pulled. He deserves to have his wings clipped to the bone so that when he lifts his head, his belly still scrapes the dust. He deserves all that and more for making her afraid.
His blood is cold, black because she's gripping his liver. She could kill him. Tear and shred just like the stories little humans tell themselves about eagles and serpents. But the dead can't suffer.
She digs her talons in deeper, thinks about digging them into softer flesh than his belly, and makes a disgusted noise at her own imaginings. She wants to burn him, wants to see him bathed in the cherry red glow of her flame, but that would be... too close. Too intimate. And too obvious.
Gold reptile eyes glimmer in the dark and she knows he knows. He could take her, here, in chains that hold only because he doesn't bother to fight his punishment at all. He could fight her, overpower her, and consume her in his flame. He chooses not to. To be weak and soft and something she can rend.
She growls and rips a piece from his hide, nails finding a new home in the meat of his arm while she shakes and tries to hold on.
