Glory and Gore

“You make it sound as if I’m jumping at the chance to be sold off to someone of father’s choosing.” She muttered with a roll of her eyes, bitterness seeping into her voice. “Don’t get used to it.” She then mumbled, turning to bury her face into Amycus’ chest. Her brother was the only one who saw all of her, with nothing hidden. No one else would ever see the sides of her that Amycus did. “Let’s go up to your dorm.” She demanded after a moment, noticing the trickling of students that had begun to enter the common room.

“I certainly didn’t mean to darling.” He spoke in a soothing voice smiling at her retort. “Of course. I wouldn’t dare to get used to such a thing.” When she demanded they go to his dorm he got up from the chair. Taking her with him he set her on her feet and started to his dorm.

“You won’t ever have to.” Alecto responded back immediately. She didn’t want to marry, and she certainly didn’t want to marry someone her father had picked out for her. But along with that, she had never held the slightest bit of interest for anyone, nor did she think she ever would. For her, all she would ever need was her brother.

Amycus was satisfied with her answer. Knowing he would never have tolerated it anyway he was pleased to hear her agree. Pressing a kiss to the top of her head he squeezed her gently. “I love how sweet and agreeable you’re being.”

“I’m just pulling your leg, my love.” Alecto murmured, rubbing his chest soothingly. With her last two betrothals, she had managed to worm her way out of them fairly early, but the problem now was that their father was catching on to her, and she feared one of these times, she wouldn’t be so lucky. “I’d like to see Rosier come anywhere near me.”

Amycus loosened his hold on her now that she had reassured him. He knew that their father would soon try to make her marry again but the thought sickened him. “I refuse to share you with anyone.” He murmured softly as he drew little circles on her back.

“You really should considering you love me.” Alecto muttered with a roll of her eyes, absentmindedly tracing shapes on his chest. “Besides, it seems I might have to start cosying up to Rosier. Father is considering him for my next betrothed.” She stated, her lips curling into a sneer. The keyword in her response had been next, as she had already wormed her way out of two betrothals already.

Amycus hated hearing about her betrothals. Even though he knew that he would never allow any of them to actually happen he didn’t enjoy the rouse of them. “I’ll kill Rosier and father myself if either of them thinks that is going to happen. Rosier is nowhere near good enough for you. The thought of you even cosying up to him makes me sick.”

Alecto gave a quiet huff as he tugged her back towards him, though she didn’t put up a fuss and settled back into his side. “I wouldn’t have to if you didn’t throw it back at me.” She muttered.

Amycus ran his fingers lazily through her hair rolling his eyes at her statement. “You know well enough that I won’t put up with your crap and not give it back to you.”

“Tell me sister is it your goal to displease me as much as possible tonight. Perhaps while you run off with your Rosier I’ll go track down Miss Vanity. Surely we’re both entitled to our fun.” The ice in his voice made it perfectly clear that he was not pleased.

Her grin had remained on her lips until he flipped the tables, in which case her grin fell in almost an instant. Now scowling, she moved some from him, though not completely. “There’s a difference between fun and disgusting choices.” She snapped with a roll of her eyes. “Really, I pegged you to have better taste than that.” She continued. “Besides, it’s as if you hardly know me at all; as if I would go anywhere near Rosier.”

Amycus gave her a satisfied smirk as he not so gently tugged her back to him. "I see you're as displeased as I am. I would suggest you pick a different game sweetheart."

Her brother reacted just as she expected him to, causing her lips to curl in satisfaction, especially when she heard his growl and felt it rumbling in his chest. “Does that bother you, brother?” Alecto inquired innocently, tilting her head to look up at him, knowing he was bound to be struggling with his silence.

“Tell me sister is it your goal to displease me as much as possible tonight. Perhaps while you run off with your Rosier I’ll go track down Miss Vanity. Surely we’re both entitled to our fun.” The ice in his voice made it perfectly clear that he was not pleased.

Making herself comfortable by curling into his side, she draped an arm across his middle and smirked against his shoulder. “I wouldn’t play it if I knew you would be.” She murmured. “Besides, I could have said I would go off with Rosier or one of the Lestrange’s.”

Amycus had been running a hand through her hair as she spoke but as he continued to listen to her his hand stopped bunching up a bit roughly in her silky strands. A growl escaped his lips but he said nothing on the subject. Preferring to play his favorite game of silence.

Alecto saw her brother deflate, and felt her resolve break. “She’s probably off with her own little toy by now.” She responded nonchalantly, and made her way over to where he sat, welcoming herself onto the chair beside him.

Amycus was resolved to be cold towards her but it quickly faded. As she sat in the chair he wrapped an arm around her. “I’m not pleased with your game.”

Visibly deflating, Alecto narrowed her eyes at her brother and crossed her arms. “She’s better company than you, I’ll have you know.” She muttered crossly. Her words weren’t a complete lie, though she wouldn’t go as far as to say such a thing if she were actually being honest. No one was better than her brother, in her eyes.

Amycus also visibly deflated a bit. Tugging the throw from the back of the chair he draped it over himself. “Fine. If you insist on going to see your little blonde pet then go.”

Alecto finally gave an exaggerated sigh, and stepped away. “Fine. I guess I’ll go have more fun with Cissa.” It actually pained Alecto to use the nickame for the blonde, but she was trying to toy with her twin.

Amycus quirked a brow as he moved to sprawl out in a nearby armchair. “If you think I believe for a second that you would rather be with her than me you’re lost your pretty little mind.”

All of her previous annoyance gone, Alecto leaned close to her brother and began to whine. “Amy.” She dragged out, jutting out her bottom lip. Of course she knew plenty of ways to make things up to her brother, but she also knew how to toy with him.

Amycus only looked at her with a smirk as he pointedly ignored her whining.

One of Alecto’s perfectly sculpted eyebrows rose high as she stared at her twin, an amused grin pulling on her lips. “I’m so sorry, brother.” She cooed. “How can I ever make it up to you?” She continued, a hint of sarcasm dripping into her voice.

“If you truly wish to make such a horrid offense up to me my dearest sister you will think of a way yourself. Instead of cheating and asking for advice.”

Rolling her eyes, though hardly in annoyance, Alecto swatted away her brothers hand while fighting off a smile at his antics. “An alibi.” She admitted, casting a quick glance over his shoulder. “I may have been a little careless, and need to make sure nothing leads to me about something.”

“I’m rather disappointed in you sister. It offends me that you would run off and have fun without me. You know how much I’ve been wanting a bit of sport.”

Despite her foul mood, leave it to her brother to cause it to simmer down. “Sorry.” She muttered reluctantly, lowering her arm.

Amycus grinned tugging lightly on a piece of her hair. “What did you want hun? Don’t leave me in suspense.”

“-I’d like a word.”

“Of course dearest. Put the claws away kitty cat.”
