. unfortunately roman’s a creature of habit and today’s bad habit includes mouthing off to someone who can snap his spine with a snap of his fingers. NOT a prize-winning moment, to be sure. his face actually pales when ky’lar grins, reminded again that he’s DONE WORSE. there’s nothing that will stop him from doing exactly that to him.
reluctantly roman mutters a response, because this arrangement? it’s worth a shot at getting his brother off the hook. his brother, who’s always been the one fighting for BOTH of them, who’s always putting ROMAN first, who’s suffered the worst kinds of things and still keeps fighting. ❝ no. if it helps wes, i’ll do whatever it takes. ❞
❝ whatever it takes. ❞ he was about to say bold words, but even ky knew that everyone had their limitations. put enough pressure on someone and they can break. friendships can be destroyed and people will die. oh, it was so easy to break people, but he wasn’t about to do it to roman. not yet.
❝ see, that is what i like about you. loyalty – even if you know deep down you’re never getting free of our little deal. a life for a life, a servant for a.. ❞ his tone lowered ever so slightly as it darkened ❝… servant. ❞
❝ i know what you’re thinking; middle of nowhere, a guy comes up to you in a very fancy suit, and he has an offer for you. not just any offer, but a great one – all you have to do is sign a paper and you can rule the world. so, tell me…what is it you want, but instead of your soul… i just want a favor. one that i can claim at any time up to and past your inevitable demise. ❞
[SMS→HELLDOUCHE]: I was a neurosurgeon, jackass. I didn’t just give myself a title. [SMS→HELLDOUCHE]: I’m about as far from on your side as it is possible to be. [SMS→HELLDOUCHE]: Oh? I’m yet to see a shred of proof of that.
[ SMS→ STRANGE ]: do i have to google what that is? [ SMS→ STRANGE ]: and come on! [ SMS→ STRANGE ]: i am great! [ SMS→ STRANGE ]: come on strange, give me a chance! [ SMS→ STRANGE ]: i’m always decent! [ SMS→ STRANGE ]: sometimes anyways~
“one
favor, that is not that but anyway my soul and you can get it after I die that is my final desicion “ a pause follows as he is swallowing hard , hands fold over his chest as eyes meet the other’s , he thought had suspected that it would be that but in the position he was at there was nothing he would not do
“you drive a hard deal.” he could have said a few other words, but instead, ky decided to go with the simple facts, and avoid getting into unnecessary details. “some could call it… unfair.” not that it mattered to him – all he was doing was pointing out the facts. “either way,” he said, arms folding across his chest. “i agree.”
‘one could argue humans the worst of all because they are innately awful. angels are giant babies with their training wheels off for the first time and demons have endured hell.’ a bleak outlook on life, but that’s what hers had become. everything was rather awful and all of the suffering on earth really held no purpose.
‘most demons have endured hell.’ ky was no exception to the fact, but he had willingly gone. he just didn’t spend time on the rack and hoped to god he never had to suffer such a cruel fate. ‘most angels are babies and the rest? humans… with no real purpose in life.’
“…some restrictions are good you know.” Peter said. “‘cause stealing…murder…destroying a city, those…aren’t good things.“ He said. “I don’t wear a mask because I’m hiding, I wear a mask because I have something to protect.” Besides, it’s not like anyone would believe he’s Spider Man anyway.
“not everyone cares,” he said bluntly. “restrictions are… restricting. not to mention all rules are meant to be broken.” and that was just the start of it, but this wasn’t the time nor place for that sort of debate. “you wear a mask as you want to protect things, but i don’t as I am not scared of who knows my face.”
“GOOD LUCK with that. Even if they were both dead, my brother has grown quite FOND of them. Plus my father likes to let them have MORE FREE PASSES than any being I’ve ever known.”
“everything will run out EVENTUALLY.” well, more than likely, but ky wasn’t really going to BET on it. “they can’t get free passes for EVERYTHING.”
