i can’t believe keith is alive again

#u thought he was dead???#no he's thriving #ooc.

“i’m sure you have.” it comes across as callous, though he doesn’t mean it so ——— all it means is that he’s reflecting. much of the worse things, as well as the scum comment itself, have one single root, and that is pegasus himself. it’s the humiliation handed to him that cost him much of his career.

pegasus probes the air for something (but nothing in specific). gaze travels over the lines of keith’s hair, both out of admiration for it, and to help him focus. despite efforts, nothing concrete comes of the other’s aura, short of surprise. with nothing to distract him, he is left with little but his own guilt.

“…i’m sorry, keith.” it comes out before he knows what he’s doing, but he finds he doesn’t quite regret it, much as it rips at him to hand over that power. “for… what i did to you.”

“ i ain’t never lied. ” that’s a double-negative, keith. but he’s watching, growing silent as he patiently waits for him to continue. he isn’t sure what else he’s expecting, but it definitely isn’t this.

“ i’m, uh- ” he can’t even hide his confusion - how could he? he never asked for an apology, in part because he wasn’t expecting it to ever come, but truthfully, there’s that underlying factor that he probably deserved MOST of what happened. he manages to pull himself together, and he sighs.

“ neither of us were exactly innocent, were we? ” he responds, a brow raised. “ i appreciate the apology, though. let’s just agree to let bygones be bygones, yeah? our lives are probably stressful enough without this shit hovering over us. ” he holds out a hand with an actual smile this time.

seriously, he says. have the two of them ever been serious in their lives ? save for duelist kingdom, maybe… he crosses his arms, in an emotion somewhere between reluctance and sheepishness.

“you aren’t scum.” short and sweet. “i wouldn’t know you if you were.”

oh. that makes him double-take, he really wasn’t expecting that kind of response. running his fingers through dirty blond hair, a sure-fire indicator that he’s stalling, he clears his throat.

“ oh, that. ” he grins, but something’s forced about it. “ they got no idea what they’re talking about. it’s chill. i’ve heard worse. ” keith that doesn’t make things better.

ah. it’s good, to have confirmation that keith deserved it. still… something irks him about the whole affair.

“mm, early afternoon and you already need to shut up ? ”

guess he won’t be letting that on.

he has to chuckle. his tease lacks some of its usual gusto - a little bit of his enjoyment. maybe he’s still a little bit upset. but standard keith howard AVOIDANCE makes him smirk instead of facing his problems.

“ yeah, okay, okay. you made your point. seriously, what’s eatin’ you? ”

-stares at keith’s anon.-

… hmph.

“ what’s gotten into you? it’s early afternoon and you’re already pouting? ”

#destineyed #hhdufjdkds

How does it feel to go from the top all the way down to scum? No, scum is better than you. You're nothing now

ouch. that one stung a bit. he puts up a good front, leaning back in his chair and crossing his legs, tapping his boot against the table. but his face is very clearly troubled. “ yeah, yeah. everyone’s got their downtime. just wait ‘till my comeback. i’m gonna duel circles around everybody. ”

#ic. ( open to mutuals )#he's.....#keith....

it is actually painful watching you avoid talking about your crush on pegasus.

“ crush? you mean crushing him with my beautiful singing voice? i ain’t avoiding that in the slightest. he’s going down. ”

#that ladies and gentleman is the standard keith howard avoidance #Anonymous

what’s this ? is keith a little flummoxed, maybe even flustered ? surely, the term of endearment was meant as little more than intimidation —- and turning it around is working wonders. his previous giggle has nothing on his nigh-evil one now.

“we’ll see,” he coos, and he wiggles his fingers playfully at him. “it’s a date, then, keith-boy. ”

“ a da- ” he really can’t wrap his head around what he just said. he shakes his head at him, eyes narrowed. his sunglasses are so fogged that he can barely see. oh, man.

“ yeah, yeah. we sure fuckin will. this weekend, karaoke. ”

#destineyed #peg you've killed him #he's destroyed

destineyed‌:

“hmph. we’ll just have to see about that, now, won’t we ? but i will warn you… i have more talents than you might think.”

he pauses, and then: “babe.”

“ i guess we will. sure, you’re probably talented. but i’m still gonna mop the floor with your vocal cords. ”

he also pauses, frowning. “ what? i didn’t say- ” another pause. oh, god, he did say that. there’s kill bill sirens going off in his head. oh fuck. oh no. “ uh- ”

this is a 4kids editor, your singing voice is putting children into comas, but as you are a proud american, we cannot simply censor you. instead, we've decided to use EXTREME AUTOTUNING to fix the problem.
