Tag: v;; yesterday’s world was soon undone ( 616 )
Nostrils flare and Peter keeps his eyes on the other, hands still on his hips. “Why didn’t you just leave me?” It’s something that’s been bothering him. He knows what the other man said, that he needed his help but it’s also quite peculiar. Even with the mask gone he still had no real idea who he was. He rolls his eyes at the pun, shoulders dropping and he leans back just a little, is far more relaxed at the moment. There’s still too much sensory input and it’s hard for him to focus, to not get distracted by the light seeping in through the window despite the curtain.
“I wouldn’t have died if you left me, and I don’t believe that you’re going to try and kill me.” Large brown eyes stare back at Ky, “You haven’t even told me what it is that you’re wanting me to get or why.”
“I wouldn’t put your hopes too high in that regard.” That much was clear as Ky took a step forward. “You see, I might not want you dead for the moment, but that can change.” More importantly, if Ky didn’t get his way, he would be forced to dispose of the other. However, for the time being, he was giving Peter the benefit of the doubt. though, for how long that would last… was uncertain. Even to him.
“—All you need to know is that it’s a game changer for me.” It wasn’t the truth or a lie, but it would change things. At least, Ky thought it would. “And that it’s the first of several tasks i’ll have for… someone like you.” Not to say that he couldn’t have obtained what he wanted himself as it was quite obvious he could have, but he was hoping he could somehow get Peter to do this for him. Even if he had to resort to a few…dislikable actions.
“Not to be that person, but I’ve never met royalty from… well, hell. Do you have a crown? A throne?”
“Do you always have to ask the most idiotic questions?” A grunt as he ran a hand over his chin. “I have a birthright – not to mention several thousand who want my head on a pike. Thats not even including my own family – hells… complicated. The royalty even more so.”
💀 – “If you’re hear to start some trouble, can it wait? I’m really not in the mood tonight.” Johnny sighed, grumbling to himself, agitated as he patted his jacket, trying to find his lighter.
“Doesn’t matter if you’re in the mood or not. If I was going to start it? Well,” he said slipping his hands into his pockets. “It would have been already done. Luckily, I’m not in the mood to attract attention tonight. Well, not in that way – need a light?”
“You don’t, but you could~” he’s having way to much fun right now and only takes a step closer. “C’mon, I’ll be able to say the prince of the underworld has literally smack my ass. If that isn’t goals I don’t know what is.”
“You also could say that I ripped you to shreds, but we’re not going down that road, are we?” He could have very easily, but Wade wasn’t worth his time. Well, maybe he was, but Ky didn’t see it that way. At least for the moment. “I don’t like it when people tell all of reality what I chose or chose not to do.”
‘ Facts that I don’t CARE about… ‘ finger RUBS against the spikes of hair that poked through skin. ‘ Listen, I ain’t here to listen to all your TALKING… or your bad attempt at persuading me to help you. I ain’t no goddamn hero, you hear me. ‘
‘FAIR ENOUGH, but i’m not looking for a HERO. what i’m LOOKING FOR is someone who can get the job done. ‘ he could have explained more, but instead, ky decided to ZIP his lips for the time being. no, he’d ASK for the price later, but for now? he was going to see if SILENCE suited the other better for the time being.
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..”
he wasn’t sure why he was at this coffee shop — didn’t know why he sat near the window, watching people pass by as he sipped idly at his latte.. he didn’t know why he was even back in this world, not really; he likely should just stay gone, giving his efforts to the other dimensions that’d see him akin to a god.. but that wasn’t him, and he has a responsibility to this world.
sipping quietly at his drink he’d sigh, completely missing the fact that there was another man there — the sorcerer being far too lost in his thoughts.
“ you look like shit. ” ky should have just kept his mouth shut and finished drinking his coffee. that was what he should have done, but it looked like today was going to be one of those days – the type where he’d get out of his comfort zone just to spite himself. either way, there was no going back now. not when he’d already crossed that threshold.
“i’d say it gets better, but truth be told? it doesn’t – need company?” a pause. “or maybe a drink… or twenty?”
“Bring it on.” She huffs and tilts her head back slightly and uncrosses her arms. “I can handle anyone.”
“An’ how much are you willing to bed on this?” He asked, taking a step forward. “’Cause, the way I see it? You might be able to handle most, but not anyone an’ not everyone.”
“not everyone has great fashion taste.” then again, ky would have gone with out a shirt on all the time, but he couldn’t. not with-out too many looks his way – something he tried to avoid most days ( unless he was in a good mood ). “an’ for the record? i don’t think it looks that bad – not entirely. i do like the shoes though.”
