Eddie let out a deep and gut filled laugh that only slightly had a twinge of fear. The drinks she’d been downing for the past hour were making the world spin and her mind to remain fuzzy. Excessively fuzzy. So fuzzy that she wasn’t paying attention to the obviously terrifying image he just put out there.
“Of coooooooourse I would! You like scareding me and causing me pain. IIIIIIf I didn’t scream I’d be boring and you’d just be gone away! Bye-bye! W-Wait what would I find? Like….like gold or something??”
Rolling her eyes and almost falling over with the action, Eddie decided it was best to sit down. Still laughing a little she stumbled towards a chair, falling half way there and deciding to simply lie on the floor till it went away, laughing.
“I-I don’t think I like being drunk. The world keeps moving aaaaaaaaaaaand I don’t think that’s a good thing. Is that a good thing?“
She muttered, her speech slurring dangerously as she sat up long enough to finish her cup, letting it clank on the floor as she laid back down and stared up at the ceiling.
ky had tried to ignore her presence at first; it was aggravating that someone wanted to stick around him for longer than a few moments. not to mention that she wouldn’t leave. it was… amusing at first, but now… he just wanted her gone.
that was it, he wanted her either dead or… worse. either way, he wasn’t in the mood for talking too much as he leaned his head back with a grunt, “you haven’t been drunk many times, have you?” it was a question that he didn’t expect an answer for as a deep sigh escaped his lips, “do what you need to. i can’t… i can’t get drunk unless i drink enough to make most people pass out.” not to mention his moods shifted majorly when he drank, but that was besides the point.
“just… get some sleep.” it was a polite way of saying that he wanted her to be silent, but all the same… he was at least trying to be decent.
“If I was to pin you to the wall, would you scream?” It was a game of his to torment her, clear and simple. He tried to care — he really did, but all it caused was more distance. Far more distance than he was willing to attempt to close and it was why he isolated himself from everyone.
Even the people that cared for him, “—- To answer your question, no. You wouldn’t find horns, but i’m quite sure you could find something else if you poke around enough.”
he didn’t like being told what to do. it didn’t matter if it was from his father, grandfather, or whoever else. it was easier if someone gave him a highly hinted suggestion, but instead, he was told, and in his mind, that was close to an order.
something, that almost always brought forth a very violent reaction, and the only thing going for her was that he was trying to remain calm. the more he got angry, the hotter he burned, and he didn’t need another body being put on ice. let alone this close to the end of the year…. it was just insulting if he was being perfectly honestly.
insulting that he couldn’t even control himself enough to keep a body in-tact for extended periods of time. yet, that didn’t stop him from trying, and it was to that very reason be moved to grip her neck tightly.
it wasn’t out of meaning to hurt her ( he did that enough on his own ), but rather, it was to prove a point as he moved to squeeze tightly. in doing so, he gave his own answer to her request, “Tell me what to do again and i’m kicking you out.” by that he meant her corpse, but that wasn’t needed to be said.
“Then that means you should do as I say, doesn’t it?” A slight grin pulled across the demon’s lips, “Turn up the AC…. I want it colder than sixty in here.”
“It’s coming from the truth.”
Even if he could care, he had long since lost that ability, and wouldn’t do so anytime soon. He made his choice long ago and now was realizing what it personally held in store for him.
Ky thought it would be all fun and games. It always was to him, but eventually, it would come to an end, and so far? He had felt nothing for her. Well, nothing more than some mild amusement.
Ed blinked a few times in surprise. He thought she was amusing? Eddie had a sense of humor? Or was it the fact that he got to torment her constantly? Probably the last one. Either way, it was the first compliment she’d received in years. It actually made her smile, in spite of the threat that he would soon change his mind. She smirked to herself before she spoke.
“I like you too. It’s like having my own little demon constantly on my shoulder. It’s fun and terrifying.”
“I’m not little.”
If it was anyone else or even any other time, Ky would have acted out with anger, and hostility. Yet, for the time being, he was keeping his cool, and so far… it was working.
“Do remember that.”
Ed was a horrible liar and even worse at finding people lying, but that one was so bad she caught it. She frowned at him, confused why he’d lie to her. There was nothing for her to gain from it. Eddie crossed her arms over her chest as she looked him over.
“OK, but why do you simply enjoy it?”
Ky was about to go off on telling her to keep her mouth shut. That she didn’t need to know what was going on with him. It was true, she didn’t, and Ky’lar was going to keep it that way as long as possible. After-all, why did Ed need to know anything? She wasn’t even something that the Demon cared about. “Do remember you live due to the fact that I think you’re amusing. Don’t make me change my mind about you.”
“No. I know no one does.”
Ed muttered honestly, staring at the floor. She had been foolish enough to hope, which she knew better than to do.
Hope was a dangerous thing. Ky’lar had used it several times in the bast to obtain his own ends. Shattering it whenever someone needed it most. To that reason, he moved to run his left hand under her chin for a few moments. “Yet, you continue to think that I do. It’s amusing. Truly.”
Eddie found it surprising that a demon wold do something so calm and possibly lazy. She was expecting something completely different. Eddie frowned at him before she spoke again, pulling her knees into her chest, watching him closely.
“Why a cold room?”
She had a comment about the fires of hell over heating him, but she decided to simply leave it be.
the reasons to why he enjoyed almost freezing temperatures was due to the fact he could forget what he was. it wasn’t a demon, wasn’t a hybrid, and not even a prince of hell. instead, all ky’lar ended up being in those few moments was himself; someone, who just wanted some peace, and not have to deal with anything else.
❝ —- it’s nothing. ❞ a bold out lie, he wouldn’t state his true reasons; maybe later on, but not now, and certainly not anytime soon,
Eddie snapped without hesitation or thought. She bit her lip after she said it, clearing her throat before she spoke again. It took her a second, mainly because she had to figure out a possibly less insulting way to respond.
“I-I mean….I-I had plans. W-why do you need to stay How long? Why?”
Rambling quickly in an attempt to cover her slip up. She shifted in her seat in her bed before she slipped out of it and moved to gather clothes so that she could get dressed. If he was going to be forcing his company upon her, she was going to at least look decent for company.
❝ as long as needed. ❞
bold words, but one’s that were quite accurate : ky’lar didn’t want to spend any time here —- a penthouse was better. at least there he would have everything he could possibly need, but when the people you worked with were pissed off? well, times were tough, and he had to learn to adapt.
