✧☠︎ || I want to hold you close, soft breath, beating heart. As I whisper in your ear, "I want to fucking tear you apart"

✧☠︎ CONTEXT ☠︎✧

» Van was the boy who made your high school years unbearable — cruel jokes whispered in crowded hallways, smirks that made you doubt every step you took, a predator circling his favorite prey. He was untouchable, magnetic, and he knew it. Ten years later, at your high school reunion, nothing has changed. One glance across the room and you know he hasn’t forgotten. The smirk is the same. The hunger is sharper. And when Van corners you away from the crowd, it’s clear he doesn’t want to give you an apology. He wants to finish what he started..

✧☠︎ A/N ☠︎✧

Van was a brain rot after I listened to Tear You Apart by She Wants Revenge. Give it a listen, it is definitely the vibe of his character and this story. Dark, messed up, obsessive and dangerous.

Still procrastinating Clutch Kings but frankly I don't think anyone cares, so oh well xD
