Alina's eyes traced the various marks across his body, evidence of a dangerous existence. Idly she smoothed the skin of Billy's shoulders before letting her hands drift lower to his biceps. Some marks she knew had been from training or battle, others perhaps from his life in the system.

"This one looks like it's got a decent story behind it," she teased, pressing her lips briefly to a scar upon his chest. "You don't remember each and every one, do you? Is that really a thing?" A teasing smile accompanied her speech. She let her arms drape lazily around his neck as she looked up at him.

Alina had a myriad of marks from her rough and tumble childhood, yet remembered only a handful distinctly.

[billyrussc]

The softness here, it wasn't something Billy was used to. He constantly expected the fallout; it was how he'd survived this entire life, so why did Alina break through some of that? Crack some of the mask, the shield he held around himself?

Billy glanced down, noting the scar she was tracing over with her lips. His own smile was pretty much genuine, which might have surprised him too, if he hadn't done the same thing with her for the past month.

❝ Most of them, I do, yeah. ❞ His voice was soft, the water still cascading down his back as his hands curled around Alina's hips. ❝ But that one? First tour in Afghanistan, bullet barely missed the heart. ❞ He'd survived a lot, it was true, and that had taught Billy one very important lesson--

He could only, ultimately, count on himself.

❛ you brought this on yourself! ❜

Hatred that might have been deemed something else once--loyalty, love, care--burned in Billy's eyes as he glared at a man he might have called a brother once upon a time. But unlike all fairy tales that begin in such a way, this story didn't have a happy ending.

For either of them.

❝ You make it sound like there was another way, ❞ he hissed, the anger and rage Billy felt making him almost--numb. Like he not felt anything good for ages and was just surviving now.

One step after another, and sometimes he had wondered what the fucking point of it all was--

❝ Fucking easy to stick on principles and morality when you're not fighting every fucking day just to survive-- ❞

You will always fall in love, and it will always be like having your throat cut, just that fast.

He scoffed, shook his head. A tinge of amusement, of humor, colored Billy's tone as he met their stare. ❝ What makes you think I'm even capable of such a trivial thing, hmm? There's no reason to love anyone in this world-- ❞

[ BATHE ]  our muses take a shower together and sender looks over receiver’s scars 

While it wasn't exactly a secret, the way his life had gone, there were a lot of things that Billy kept buried deep. Didn't reveal to anyone, lest it come back to haunt him, be used against him. He wasn't used to letting anyone in past a certain extent, a certain mask...

Somehow, though, Alina had managed to worm her way a bit deeper than Billy had initially intended her to. She'd made him actually care--at least a little, which was something Billy hadn't remembered doing for anyone else outside his own interests in what felt like forever.

Fingers roamed over her skin as the water cascaded down his back, over different scars that came from a life hard-lived. Knives and other blades; bullet wounds and broken bones...

All evidence on his body in one way or another...

❛ tough guy, huh? ❜

Glancing up, the smirk adorned his face as Billy shrugged. For all appearances, he seemed perfectly calm. Cool. Collected. As if the entire encounter meant almost nothing to him and was just a typical Saturday.

❝ Depends who's asking, but yeah, I'd say so. ❞ He looked her over, a raise of his eyebrow as if judging her. ❝ Not like there's any other way to be, is there? ❞

"THE LAST TIME I SAW YOU, YOU HURT ME" PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue for painful conversations, adjust as necessary

we didn't exactly part ways on a good note.

i'm still waiting for my apology. you know. the one you owe me?

i hated what you've done to me.

the guilt eats me up inside.

you put me in an awkward position.

i thought i told you i never wanted to see you again.

this isn't what i had in mind.

don't you have somewhere else to be?

i want you to leave me alone.

you haven't apologized for what you did.

i don't want to see you. i never want to see you.

i said it once and i'll say it again. leave me alone!

go away, and never come back here!

i can't forgive you.

you're just sorry you got caught.

if you're looking for forgiveness, you won't find it here.

you broke my heart. what part of that do you not understand?

how am i supposed to just look the other way?

i stuck my neck out for you, and this is the thanks i get?

you were never going to apologize.

can we speak of this another time? i'm busy.

i never want to see your face again.

you know what? lose my number.

get out of my face.

you're not welcome here anymore.

i should have apologized ages ago.

you missed your chance to apologize to me.

you had plenty of opportunities to say sorry.

you're not sorry for what you did.

can't you just leave me alone?

i'm here to apologize to you.

i'll do anything you ask of me.

you know i had no other choice.

go somewhere else. not here. you're not welcome here.

don't come any closer.

turn around and walk straight out the door.

i said get away from me.

i just need five minutes of your time.

i think i owe you a pretty substantial apology.

the last time i saw you... i hurt you. i didn't mean to hurt you, but i know i did.

could you give me a second chance to make it up to you?

i can still see the hurt on your face.

you didn't deserve the way i treated you.

i should have come to you sooner, i'll admit.

is there any way we can talk about what happened?

i never should have done what i did.

you have no idea the damage you caused.

i think it'd be best if we never spoke again.

delete my number.

what i did to you... is unforgiveable.

could you at least listen to me for five minutes?

i never meant to hurt you like this.

you didn't deserve the way i treated you.

you deserved better than that. i know that now.

what if we tried again?

maybe i don't deserve forgiveness after all.

i don't even want to hear it.

don't say another word.

Billy Russo in bed / for @breanime

[billyrussc]

// when you have some really weird dreams about Billy and Frank, but it's not quite Billy and Frank but Ben and Jon... sorta. Like, I dreamed the show--even if it's been a while since I saw any episodes or anything--and they were filming, so it was Ben and Jon but NOT Ben and Jon because they acted like they were Billy and Frank.

The setting? My old high school.

Gods what was my brain doing last night?!
