Two Nameless Monsters [Johan Liebert x FemReader]

Mourir || 03

the next morning

Johan is now trying to find the woman's atelier.
he looked around and it looked like he was on the right path.

thanks to an old lady he asked for help awhile ago he finally reached his destination.
the tall man stood in front of the small building.

he looked at what's written on the paper and again he looked at the atelier.
"Is that it?" he asked quietly.

the blonde man reached for his pocket and placed the small piece of paper inside.
he knocked on the door and he waited for someone to open the door, but there was no response.
"Hm.. strange." he said.
the man reached for the door handle, the door was unlocked.

The blue-eyed man walked slowly inside.

he could hear quiet music playing.
it smelled... like tempertine?
he couldn't tell, but he decided to walk further.
johan closed the door behind him and with slow steps he walked further up the corridor.

he looked around.
on the walls were different artworks, each one of them were beautiful.
he stopped by some of them to take a closer look.

what caught his attention is that they didn't have the name of the creater, just a small signature.

Johan's eyes widened as he was now staring at one painting called "Death".
there were bunch of skeletons, skulls and broken bones on a dark brown background.

he was staring at it with amusement.
the details on the bones and skeletons were so carefully drawn.
it almost looked like they were real.

he felt spiritually connected to the painting.

he forgot about the time.
Johan probably spent over ten minutes just staring at the artwork before his eyes.

"Hey, its you.. you came!"
a familiar voice helped him return back to reality.
he looked at the direction from where he heard the familiar voice and it was the lady from the bar.

she looked quite different now, her hair was a little messy, and she had a little paint on her clothes and on her arms.

"if you really like the artwork you can have it, i dont mind." she said and leaned against the wall.
"Oh really?" johan asked and looked at it again for a split second.

"yes, of course, i saw you staring at it for the past ten minutes." she said while letting out a small chuckle.

"thank you so much" the taller man said with a smile on his face. "so.. you painted all of these right?"

"yes."

"then why your name isn't in any of the art pieces?"
"i dont like people knowing my name." she responded in a soothing voice.

Johan was impressed. Very impressed.

"so is that what you do for a living?"
"yes, i draw and then some rich couples come here to buy my artworks."
she shrugged and took off the painting johan liked only to put it carefully in a package for him.

"dont worry, you dont have to pay, its free, only for you of course." the painter smiled.

"Thank you, but i'll repay, i promise." johan smiled and after she was done packaging the painting, she looked at him and said:
"you can go to the room where i usually do my artworks, there is a sofa with a small table, i'll make some tea, i just have to warn you though its quite messy."

"dont worry you are working right now it's understandable, i apologize for not calling to let you know i was visiting."

she chuckled "no need to apologize! now go sit and relax, i'll be back in a moment." after that she disappeared in the other room to prepare the drinks.

he walked in slowly with his arms behind his back.
the sofa and the table she mentioned were there also a lot of her paintings too.

there is one right before his eyes that looks like she's currently working on right now.

he took a closer look and it seemed like that woman enjoyed greek mithology quite a lot.

on the painting he could see Apollo and his nine muses.
A new thing they had in common.
Johan adores greek mythology.
he smiled slightly and looked away.
after a moment he sat on the sofa while patiently waiting for the girl to bring some tea.

there were stairs that probably lead to her bedroom so she lived here as well?

as he kept wondering her cheerful voice interrupted his thoughts.

"im sorry for the mess, here! the tea is ready hope it's good." she said with a big smile on her face.
she looked cute.

"i will enjoy it as long as if it's with you, dear."
