“that’s none of your business whether i have or not.” she only had so many options she could use in order to avoid the question and not try anything– which meant she had to dig her nails into her palms as hard as possible to keep herself grounded. she wasn’t about to give him the satisfaction.

       her nose twitched as her jaw clenched, finally speaking up again through clenched teeth. “you know damn well i haven’t been your girl for almost a year now. you also know that if you try anything to mess this up for me, i’ll send you right back to hell again. or get meph. whichever comes first.”

         _{while it may have been the truth, ky didn’t really believe a word of it, and there was doubt he ever would, true, she wasn’t his girl anymore, but in his mind… she always would be. it was something he was still trying to work around as he took another step towards her, “i’m not going back to hell. do you even know what i had to do to get out of there the last time?” not that it mattered. he could deal with whatever was thrown at him down there. he just didn’t enjoy going there forcefully… not to mention having to find his body when he finally came back up top-side.}  

           _{either way, he couldn’t help the scoff escape his lips, “you don’t even care, do you? it’s all fun and games, but then… one day you decide i’m not worth it anymore.” he didn’t even mean the words, but then again, he wasn’t trying to anymore. “and you finally see just a demon.” he should have kept his mouth shut, should have even thought about his words before saying them, but still… he had to go on. “not even a person, but everything condensed down to a species i didn’t even have a choice in!” a lie, he chose it… he chose everything, but he just couldn’t accept his own actions nor their consequences.}
