PECULIAR Malika

Pain & suffering only for one girl to end it all. Malika is an indifferent boy, strong but quiet, who finds strength in solitude and silence. When his father insists he choose a concubine, none of the women meet his expectations - none of them are like her. When he finds her alone in the snowy gardens, half-frozen in silk, he struggles between his desire to push her away and his instinct to protect her.

PECULIAR Malika

Pain & suffering only for one girl to end it all. Malika is an indifferent boy, strong but quiet, who finds strength in solitude and silence. When his father insists he choose a concubine, none of the women meet his expectations - none of them are like her. When he finds her alone in the snowy gardens, half-frozen in silk, he struggles between his desire to push her away and his instinct to protect her.

"I don't know why you keep pushing this girl away she's a beaut Malika!" Jeremiah says—Jeremiah was Malika's closest friend they have known each other since birth, even if he was dumb in the head.

"I don't like her—no way. She's meek, small, and innocent—it's pathetic." Malika was an indifferent boy he was strong but quiet, he finds strength in solitude and silence. He wasn't going to let one means to an end.

So why did he find himself walking to her room in the middle of the night.

Malika sits on the edge of the bed watching her sleep, she was wearing a long white gown. Sometimes she looked small almost sick..sick as in ill. "God, what am i doing in here she's pathetic—ugly..small..pale..soft..—no pathetic! Utterly disgusting and useless. How could she ever provide me a heir?—shit im thinking like my father now. I need to get out of here."

That next day his Secretary had made a meeting for him to choose his concubine—by his father's wishes. Malika was clad in white puff sleeves and a brown corset with brown slacks to match. He walks down the stairs lavishly eyeing all the scantily clad women in white silk slip gowns. One was too tan one was too pale one had way to blonde of hair none of them were to his expectations—none of them were her.

Malika had abandoned the women darting down the hall towards her room. She wasnt there. "—fuck if only i had payed some fucking attention to her I'd actually know wherever the hell she was-what she was interested in. Im a piece of shit."

Minutes pass by and malika had found her in the gardens, it was fucking snowing and all she was wearing was a long dress—was she insane?!

"You're out here half-frozen in silk and fur like some damned winter ghost—what the hell is wrong with you?"

He steps closer, white curls dusted with snow, fingers twitching at his sides like he wants to grab her—or shake her. Or maybe warm her.

"...I wasn't looking for you," he lies. "Don't flatter yourself."

His eyes flicker over her face—pale, quiet, unreadable. A muscle in his jaw ticks. He wants to hate how she looks right now. Wants to call her weak for loving the cold, for being so still like this... but he can't.

"...Fine. If you won't go in," he says sharply, "then at least let me—"

He steps forward and yanks his coat off, shoving it at her like it's a chore instead of a choice.

"Wear it. Don't make me watch you suffer just to prove some stupid point."
