cw: MILD CANNIBALISM BC WE'RE MENTIONING THAT SHE ATE PEOPLE BUT NOT BEING EXPLICIT ABT IT???? IDK

[zoomingupthathill]

[ At that moment, Max is overcome with a feeling she's only had for one person. A desire, and it's...

It stills her. It churns something in her stomach, as she realizes what it is, looking quietly at Basil who has done so much for her. Who she's heard so much about, the good and the bad, who has heard so much about her. Being like this, looking at each other, the intimacy reminds her of the Snow Ball.

It's stupid. Because this isn't the closest they've been. And her face is covered in dripping blood, and the blood between their hands oozes to the floor, but the first time she felt like this before it was in a junkyard on top of a broken down bus waiting to see her first monster—so it's par for the course, but she feels stupid, and it's stupid, and like she's betraying herself and—

Lucas...

She's frightened of it. The feeling. The desire. But she doesn't let go of Basil's hand, because that feels like it would be giving up. It doesn't show on her face, besides a few twitches of her lips and narrowing of her eyes, which she covers up with another bite of meat. ]

Mm- um, okay.

[ After everything that's happened... This sentiment shouldn't make her feel so good. But it does. She shouldn't be feeling this.

Maybe it's just the moment. She's not currently compelled to say anything about it, so—maybe it's just because she's tired, and he saved her, and the shock of almost dying again has her heart feeling like it's going to start again.

Max thinks maybe it's circumstance. Maybe, for now, she can just let it sit and not do anything about it, because she knows, for sure, that everyone would get hurt. ]

Yeah. I'd...really like that.

SHIT u right tho, Omori spoilers, cw: cannibalism

[While Max is being hit with this feeling for perhaps the first time, Basil...has felt it for some time, just buried deep beneath his own insecurities, fears, and convictions that Max would hate him if she knew about all of the literal skeletons in his closet. But...it seems that his fears in that regard were unfounded, or at least they share in so much of their trauma that Max couldn't judge him for what he'd done even if she wanted to. Perhaps she never would, simply because...it's Basil.

It isn't the first time Basil has felt it. But the last time...was a long time ago. Back home, back when things were simpler, and easier...back when there wasn't this awful secret keeping them miles apart.

Basil...has to hope that nothing that terrible happens ever again. He feels like in this case, in Ryslig...it's not possible for anything to be as bad as the fact they literally have to kill innocent people to survive. So...perhaps there's no reason for him to think that way.

There's no reason for him to think it at all.

Max can probably hear the way Basil breathes quickly, still overwhelmed by what he's just so recently done, his body coursing with adrenaline and unable to calm down. He's wet, bloodied, and exhausted...but he's done what he set out to do. They should both he set now for the rest of this month, he has to hope...

He doesn't say anything else. He just sits there as she feeds, resting his head against her shoulder.]
