“You… are doing great.”

_{was he really? honestly, no one had told him that before – no one really believed in him either. so, what was he really doing great in? he wanted to ask, but doubted it would get him anywhere. still, the news almost made his stomach churn, and it was all due to the fact he didn’t know how to react or… even what it meant at any-rate. “— thanks… i guess?”}

“what makes you think i give a shit?”

_{“better yet,” he said, making his way forward, and placing a hand on eli’s chest, “what makes you think i won’t rip your chest out?” a simple question and a threat. one he wouldn’t go forward with, but he could… if he was forced to do so.}

“fucking demons.”

_{“one more word and you’ll be sorely lacking something needed to speak.” ky had attempted to be decent, but as per-usual, it always ended up badly. a reason to why he resorted to violence or even threats most of the time to ultimately get his point across.}

“i like your smile, its a great look. wouldn’t mind seeing more of it” ;) (BLAME THIS GIF 78(.)media(.)tumblr(.)com/9ff1c18a373b2af93adb408bfe2ba5a0/tumblr_p9s1f6BKdQ1w2jhfwo7_250(.)gif )

_{“well, i’m quite sure that could be arranged.” ky moved to poke eddie right in the chest. “however, just for you. no one else.”}

Ky’lar, you hate vampires sure, but would you still fuck one?

_{“what do you think?” he wasn’t going to give a proper yes or a no. instead, he opted to folding his arms across his chest with a grunt. “they are leaches – being near one is revolting enough. do you really believe i’d fuck one of their kind?” possibly, actually, that was a yes.}

“What’s the matter? Silver-tongue turned to lead?”

^{it hadn’t exactly turned to led, but he did make sure to hold his tongue for the moment. he’d been caught in something he couldn’t exactly get out of. so, in his mind, it was best to cut his losses, and remain silent. that way, he could attempt some sort of damage control down the line, and not lose his head in the process. “no,” he said sucking in a deep breath. a few moments later, he let it out slowly. “i just… made a mistake..”}

“Well, I want to know why!”

_{“No, no you don’t want to know.” It pained him to say the words, but he still said them. “Sometimes, it’s best to be in the dark – trust me on this.”}

❝ Darling, you have no idea what’s possible. ❞

_{"Doesn’t matter,” he said, hands running through his hair, “I thought I knew what was possible years ago.” A short-two second pause. “Now? Even the entire world dying wouldn’t surprise me – nothing ever does these days.”}

Barbara sighs. That lithe touch of his is something she adores. Eyes flutter as he finally bridges the gap and of course she succumbs, she melts, right into that kiss. She lingers afterwards, forehead pressing to his. “Thank you.” she whispers.

_{ky wished he could have kept his lips on her’s forever, but he couldn’t. no, he knew how careful he had to be around her, and he wasn’t about to let that control slip. not now and not anytime soon. not if he had the chance to stop it. “no matter what anyone says… i care about you. i really do.”}

lydia sits on his lap :)

_{“…. do i look like a seat?” a beat as he moved to shove her off his lap. “get off.”}
