As he opened his mouth, Arthur's large, stiff, strong, and sturdy hand covered his mouth and pulled him closer to an inch of his face.
Leo's eyes trembled as he was being treated like a toy.
A doll that a psychopath would play with, that is what Leo was and the psychopath in question was Arthur.
"Didn't I praise you!? Didn't I tell you that your declaration was good?" Arthur whispered right into Leo's ears with a raspy voice.
Leo's legs had already given up as one was already lifeless and the other one was trembling to the point where he couldn't even stand straight.
'Why?'
'Why is this happening to us?' Leo wondered as he felt a pressing force that crushed his mouth without any resistance or slowing down.
"I would never do this to the worst of my enemies." Arthur moved Leo away from him and said with a sad look in his eyes.
The sad look was a precursor to a traumatic smile that Leo would never forget.
