how much he’d want to wipe off that stupid smirk off her face.
“why not,” he commented from above, “he has awesome pixie dust. one of the the only reasons why i’m still rooming with him. also he’s stupid and that puts me above him– which i clearly appreciate.”
renly was a good kid, he thought to himself. perhaps a little too soft for the warrior’s liking. subconsciously, he glanced around the room, and to his relief, his roommate wasn’t around. their relationship had been improving ever so slightly, and slipping back into the constant war would drive him mad. the tape that divided their two sides had been freshly ripped– he didn’t want it pasted back on too quickly.
“if you were juliet, i’d kill myself in a heartbeat.” seth joked, poking fun at the fact that he’ll never see her as a girl. he has always seen her as a brother, and the incident of her chucking her phone at the wall out of sheer anger further enforced that vision.
“correction, power nap. beauty sleep are for wimps.” he rolled his eyes, holding back the urge to flash her the finger once more. “don’t piss me off or i’ll never come down.”
now fully dressed, he made his way down to her, a stick already in between his fingers and a lighter in the other hand. it has been his fourth pack in three days, and he’s almost sure that he’s going to die of lung cancer at the age of twenty five.
“want one?” he offered, extending his pack towards her.
“You forget. I hate people. It’s kind of my thing. You’re the exception because you’re barely a person; more like an annoying pet or something.” She cocked her head to the side, shaking it slightly. “I don’t need pixie dust. What the fuck would I do with pixie dust? Yeah, well, sorry but I’m the smart one in our duo. That’s not changing anytime soon.” Perhaps she wasn’t the smartest woman on the planet intellectually, but she was mediocre, and incredibly clever. Her skills were just more suited for combat.
“Oh please. If I was in Romeo and Juliet, I’d have the personality of Tybalt and the lifespan of Benvolio. Fuck Juliet; she’s got nothing on me,” she commented offhandedly, waving him off. To Ziyi, Seth one of many thorns in her side, although he was the least aggravating of those thorns. The mere thought of him possibly being her Romeo made her want to vomit. He was her partner in crime, not her companion. And sometimes depending on her mood, he was barely that. She was much too bitter and hostile for her own good.
“Whatever. Same thing,” she shrugged. “Right. As if you have anything better to do. You’re awake now; at least do something useful with your time and entertain me.”
At his offer, she gave him a skeptical glance. “You’re kidding,” she muttered with a small chuckle and a roll of her eyes. She was reckless and did stupid, impulsive things, but her body was her temple. Without that, she was nothing. She even had trouble justifying alcohol the few times she’d had it. A small smile appeared on her face, and she held out her hand. “I’ll take the lighter though.”
