"A Glimmer of Hope"

Shizuo's eyes snapped open, and he glared at Vanitas with a mix of anger and hurt. "Do you even love me, Vanitas? Am I just your sex toy?" he screamed, his voice echoing through the room. "Is that all I am? Someone you can fuck all day?" Vanitas turned to face Shizuo, his expression softening as he took in Shizuo's tear-stained face. He gently wiped away Shizuo's tears, his touch tender. "I'm sorry, Shizuo. You are more than a sex toy. I do love you. I'm so sorry." Shizuo's anger faltered for a moment, and he searched Vanitas's eyes for any sign of deception. But all he saw was sincerity and a deep affection. Vanitas pulled his dick out of Shizuo, and got out of bed, his movements gentle. "I'm about to run your bath water," Vanitas said, his voice soft. "Then we can explore my world. I'll show you my favorite restaurant, and this magical waterfall. It's beautiful, Shizuo. You will enjoy it." Shizuo looked away, his anger resurfacing. "Please, Vanitas, I miss my world," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. Vanitas's expression fell, and he looked down at his feet. "I'll think about it, but for now, go take a bath. I'll be there in a minute." Shizuo groaned, trying to get out of bed. His body ached, and he felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him. Vanitas noticed his struggle and quickly got back into bed, helping Shizuo into the bathroom. As the warm water enveloped Shizuo's body, he closed his eyes, feeling a small sense of relief. Vanitas was being gentle with him, and for a moment, Shizuo forgot about his anger. Vanitas whispered, his voice barely audible, "We might go to your world today." Shizuo's eyes snapped open, and he looked at Vanitas, hope rising in his chest. Could it be true? Was Vanitas actually considering taking him back home? He searched Vanitas's face, but his expression was inscrutable. Shizuo's heart skipped a beat as he waited for Vanitas's next move. Would he get to go back home, or was this just another one of Vanitas's cruel teases? Only time would tell.
