Blood. Blood everywhere.

What the hell was this!?
Blood, guts, bone, gore. Littering the floor in tiny chunks and pieces… meat…?

The young man, trembling, dared to look down the deserted alleyway, palms sweating and fist clenching the strap of his cloth grocery bag. Blood… what was this? A murder?

Past experiences allowed Honeymilk to summon his courage and step into the alley, though he had never in his whole life been able to calm his beating heart once it started hammering against the inside of his chest.

A chill ran up his spine as he lifted his shoe to take another step, and found that it was sticky….

Blood… not even dry.
Another step.

Crunch.
……some sort of food wrapper. Not related.

Crunch. 

Wait. He hadn’t moved.
So what was that sound?

Crunch.

Remember to breathe, Honeymilk.

“…hey? Be careful.”

He froze.

A boy with red hands and a red face hidden by a curtain-like fringe of sapphire hair sat crouching near the end of the alley, over… no. He tore his eyes away and returned his startled gaze to the boy. 

Long fingernails, lightly muscled and obviously so… his eyes was obscured, but an impish smile, though looking slightly puzzled, peeked out. As Honeymilk watched, the boy’s tongue – long! And purple! – flicked around his lips, cleaning the space around his mouth of… red.

“I spilled a lot. It’s not easy to step around it, I know…”

An awkward silence.

Remember to breathe, Honeymilk.

“What… what are you doing?” the cat-boy asked, his tail wildly swinging from side to side behind him. He swallowed, trying to take his nervousness away. 

“Lunch.”

Remember to breathe, Honeymilk!

“L… L….” He gasped. “L-Lunch?” 

“S’right.” He hummed a tune and there was a sharp cracking sound as the boy reached over and twisted something off of the object on the floor. “She was really tasty."

Remember to breathe! Remember to breathe!

“Mm…”

He slid the finger into his mouth and sucked on it. 

Breathe! Breathe! Breathe!

“Want one?” 

THUD.
