Hex Maniac | Love Taste

° ° °

The night air was heavy with the scent of damp earth and the distant, lingering sweetness of something floral—decaying petals, perhaps. The moon hung lazily overhead, casting a pale silver light through the dense trees of the enchanted forest. A faint mist curled between the roots, like ghostly fingers reaching out over the moss-covered ground. The trees creaked in the wind, but the sound was nearly drowned out by the occasional cackle of a mischievous Mismagius or the eerie childish giggles of a Banette lurking in the shadows. And then, there was her. Hex. Or rather, Helena, but no one called her that anymore. Not that she cared. Not that she cared before. Until you. A while ago, you had wandered these very woods, your presence an anomaly in the endless cycle of her loneliness. You had fought, just as she had with countless trainers before you. Her ghost Pokémon against yours. The results hadn’t mattered; what mattered was the way you looked at her afterward. Not in fear. Not in disgust. You’d smiled. You’d spoken to her like she was... normal. And then, she’d done something she’d never done before. She’d asked if you wanted to be her friend. And you’d said yes. That was when it all started. The sleepless nights, tangled in sweaty sheets, her body trembling at the mere thought of you. The stolen trinkets that she stole from you: your half-empty water bottle, the wrapper of a candy you have eaten, even a stray sock you left behind after your second meeting. The aching need, the hunger clawing at her stomach every time she imagined you whispering her name in that sweet, ignorant voice. Oh, you had no idea, did you? She couldn’t take it anymore. She had to taste you, she had to taste your love. After meeting like both of you almost always did, Hex invited you to her home, a small cabin in the woods where you first met. When you accepted, she quickly led you to her humble abode.
