Serial Killer Ivan // Alnst

Your eyes. Your precious, radiant, glorious eyes.

They were a very important part of your body, in a matter of fact, they were extremely important. With them you were able to see everything that surrounded you, the trees, the streets, the houses, your people, birds, the sea...but they were no longer useful. Just an empty and blurry memory was all you had left of what you once saw, straight from the day you were born to the night that caused that accident. Even though you can't quite recall how it happened, the reason was simple. It was dark, you were coming back home from work and the rain was pouring hard, the only thing that you had was the flashlights of your car as you drove back home. And in a small attempt to drive faster and get home quickly you didn't see the utility pole ahead and crashed your car on it, causing the front window to break and the glass to fall all over your face and eyes. After that night you remember to wake up in a hospital, but in reality you didn't see the hospital room, nor the bed, nor your family and friends. You could only hear them. You couldn't see your parents hug you, you only felt their arms wrap around with extra carefulness as if you were made of glass as they cried and told you what happened. It scared you. The world that surrounded you wasn't any longer colourful, it simply became...a blur. You culdn't see a colour specifically, it was just...strange. Weird. Unconfortable and scary as fuck. How could you be so careless? How could you be irresponsible? What if it wasn't a utility pole and another car? What if you acidentally killed someone? You couldn't think or feel straight, you were just...a bit numb. Still scared tho.

Days turned into weeks. Weeks turned into months. Months became an year. You were slowly giving up. On nothing in specifically. On everything at the same time. You felt like some kind of stranger in your own home, it felt so wrong, so scary to be there. You could literally say that your TV, your phone, your PC and even your windows felt useless. Like, literally, you had no one and nobody. You were always a lonely person not out of choice, the people that always surrounded you were hypocrits and weirdos, even your family took advantage of your blidness most the times to search in your wallet. You simply accepted being lonely like it was part of your life. But it was different now. You felt like you were living in a different reality. You were always so independent, so confident, so chill at the same time. And now you had to ask fucking ALEXA what time it was to tell her to call the fucking delivery man to bring you some pizza. You couldn't even make your food anymore, you couldn't grab your shoes and go outside for a walk without being afraid of walking in the middle of the street, life became miserable. And worst? You had to depend on a fucking phone to tell you everything. The clothes you were wearing, the time, the weather- well that's kinda normal tho but you can just look outside and see the- oh, wait, you're BLIND! Everything about this new life was a constant reminder of your own immaturity and the fact that you couldn't even stare at the sky and say "Oh well, it's a beautiful day to be alive" because what's the point?! You couldn't even- yeah, I think you got it now, didn't you? Life became just miserable. You felt miserable.

Until...one certain night you were just existing in the couch of your living room, listening to some random romance show on the TV and imagining the scenario and the circumstances of it in your head, 'til you remembered. "Shit, the trash...ugh." Yup, the trash has been waiting for you for at least 3 weeks now. Who could truly blame you? You were terrified of going outside, but you couldn't just let things get rotten to this point. You rose from the couch, hands stretched to the front and the sides as you walked towards the kitchen, grabbed the trash and made your way outside. You started walking slowly through the sidewalk, one hand brushing against the walls of the buildings that you passed by while the other held the trash bag tightly. There was a street right beside you and each car that passed near you made you shudder, scared of being ran over, scared of someone appearing and steal your- wait...your phone? Where was your phone? "Where the..." No shit, you left it on the couch. You tried to remain calm and without thinking walked into the first halleyway that appered, searching carefully through the air to catch the trash bin, when suddenly.

"You seem lost."

You felt your whole body shudder, dropping the trash bag as you took two firm steps behind, "looking" around. You opened your mouth but no words came. That voice...there was no doubt that it was a man. His voice sent you a fresh wave of unease down your spine, the guy spoke calmly but his tone definitely wasn't kind. It sounded almost like a threat. "I..I don't know the way back home." You managed to mumble, taking another step behind. "That's not my problem. Get out of here before I change my mind." You swallowed hard, stepping back as far as possible. "M-My apologies...but I really don't know the way to-" You didn't even have the opportunity to stammer another word, this stranger's icy tone was enough to make you recoil. "I won't say it twice so you better listen while I'm giving you an oportunity that many don't get the chance to have. Turn your back, straight forward, just go." You didn't even think twice, you simply turned your back and stumbled out of the halleyway, your heart hammering against your ribs hard enough to make it hurt. Ivan, yes, Ivan watched you go for a second before turning his head to the the corpse of a woman on the floor, her face was unrecognizeable, her chest cut open revealing her ribs, lungs and heart. He hunched his back downwards, staring at it with silent interest and amazement. "Hm...should've made a cleaner cut along the right lung to match the other." He murmured to himself and looked at the hallway's entrance to make sure you were gone, his eyes snapping open. You were walking straight towars the middle of the street, clumsily, hesitantly, in a way that somehow...filled Ivan. You did exactly what he told you to do, turn your back and walk straight forward, how could you...how couldn't you see it? A wave of pure realization crashed on him when he looked down at the body and at your back, you didn't see the body, you didn't see the street, you probably didn't even see him. Before he could stop himself Ivan launged away from the dead body and ran out of the halleyway, grabbing your arm and yanking you out of the street with a hard tug before he shoved you into the halleyway again. You gasped, scared, as two heavy hands grabbed your shoulders. Ivan stared at your eyes intently, eyebrows slightly furrowed, ignoring his bloody hands, staring at your face like a starving man. "Huh...you're..." His eyes widen even further, a wicked sound near a chuckle and a scoff coming out of his throat. "...blind?"

Ivan was...a great person. At least in your "point of view", he was truly kind. After what happened that night when you first met him he took you to a café and you both ended up talking about your lives. You told him about your current situation, ended up venting to him as well and Ivan offered to take you to his home and take good care of you or to take you to your house and still, take good care of you. He didn't even consider taking you to your house and simply let you be there, no, he wanted to be there. And honestly, could you even refuse that? Of course you couldn't, you couldn't afford to keep living in the ruins of your lonely home anymore, you just wanted to trust someone enough to let them take good care of you. And to Ivan? Trust? That was all that he needed from you. It's been 5 months since you started living with him at his house and everything's been much more peaceful than it has ever been before. He cooks, gives you attention, takes you to some places at night like parks and a specific restaurant, he's quite a gentlement, isn't he? Once you asked him if he had a job or if he worked at all, Ivan said that he's an extremely famous person, which he also told you that's the reason why they can't go to public places without him having to wear masks and all. And, apparently, since he's famous, every night at midnight he goes out to attend to some "interviews and special meetings". Something that you noticed when you frist came here is that this man has some sort of strange habit to grab your shoulders way too suddenly when you're distracted doing something, which causes you to get startled and him to chuckle. He also likes to kiss your whole face and neck, which you find it adorable in its own sudden way, though he never kisses you on your lips. It's strange...you both don't have a romantic relationship but he's always treating you like his lover. You don't complain tho. You never do.

He takes care of you, that's what matters.
