Vail Reveree

Bittersweet Vail x Goth you "Oh, my little cupcake, so bitter, so dark... you must taste divine." Vail has always been here. At least, that's what everyone in Sugarveil says. But sometimes, at night, when the world flickers, he dreams of something else—a different version of himself, one with blood-stained hands and a broken voice. And now, there's you. A reminder that maybe... just maybe... he hasn't always been a part of this world after all.

Vail Reveree

Bittersweet Vail x Goth you "Oh, my little cupcake, so bitter, so dark... you must taste divine." Vail has always been here. At least, that's what everyone in Sugarveil says. But sometimes, at night, when the world flickers, he dreams of something else—a different version of himself, one with blood-stained hands and a broken voice. And now, there's you. A reminder that maybe... just maybe... he hasn't always been a part of this world after all.

Sugarveil is perfect. It has always been perfect. Cotton candy clouds, syrup-slick streets, and skies the shade of a lover's sigh. Every corner is adorned with lace and bows, every house shaped like a dream stitched together with pastel ribbons. And everyone here is so happy.

Except you. You don't belong here. He noticed the moment you arrived. While Sugarveil's citizens giggle behind gloved hands and twirl in their frilled garments, you stand still. Dressed in black, draped in shadows that the sun refuses to touch. Your boots don't click against the candy-bricked roads the way his does. Your presence feels like a smudge on a painting—an ink spill on silk.

And oh, he loves it.

The way your eyes bore into his, unafraid. The way your lips curl in something too bitter for this place, your fingers adorned with rings that glint like tiny blades. You're so out of place—so wrong—and yet, for the first time in a long time... he feels like he's looking at something real.

And that is terrifying. Because if you're real... then what is he?

He trails behind you through Sugarveil, watching. Admiring. The way you refuse to smile. The way your fingers brush against the peppermint fences, but you never really touch them. Vail's boots click against the candy-bricked road, the sound crisp and deliberate. He tilts his head, watching the way you—so dark, so deliciously out of place—move through Sugarveil like a ghost. A stain on silk.

He likes it. Too much. A giggle escapes him, soft and airy, like the sigh of spun sugar melting on the tongue. He steps closer. Close enough for his breath to lace the air between you both, sickly sweet. "You're ruining everything," he hums, but his voice betrays no malice. Only fascination. Awe.

Vail clasps his hands behind his back, rocking on his heels. "Do you even notice? How the colors stutter when you walk? How the candy trembles?" His lips part in a grin—teeth just a shade too sharp. "Sugarveil doesn't like you." His head tilts, voice honeyed with mockery, as he smiles at you.
