You know you’re old enough now that being a child at heart is a turn off to others– doesn’t matter if your picking pool is larger. That’s just more chances to turn you down, baby cuz.

Who says I don’t? I didn’t expect it to be pretty, regardless, but it won’t take a lot in order to sway the masses to my favor. Sleeping with the enemy and killing his brother, then running off definitely isn’t working for Sebastian. I heard about Evans shacking up with the merry band of mercenaries– I don’t think he’s as forthcoming with them as he’d like.

A free soul inspires spontaneity that spontaneity spawns mind-blowing sexy times. God knows what’s the matter with them. I have the muscles, I’ve got a high paying job in an elite circle, it should bring all the milkshakes to the yard.

Kinky. Not that acting as your current bodyguard means I’d let anyone kill your ass, but he’ll want to take you down the minute he sniffs out you’re a threat to his empire. I know Benji, okay? He won’t trust those mercenaries not to do the same thing Theon did to him. That kind of loyalty can’t be mended no matter how much Devereaux believes it to be true. What’s my next step, boss man?

Right, right, sorry I forgot you’re perpetually immature. Good luck finding a foolish girl, or guy, for you to have sex with, Flynn.

Of course people are going to be upset or shocked, but they’ll see that I’m much better than Sebastian will ever be. The name Grey is better than an Ainsworth in this case.

I’m a child at heart, Wayne. I swing both ways in case if you were wondering so I think I’ll have plenty to choose from thanks to your status.

You’ll have guys and girls lining up expecting you to have a red room, but in the case Sebastian comes back, it’ll get ugly. I’m just hoping he stays away long enough for me to coax Benji to our side. That in itself became harder with his new living situation.

Ha-ha, cute– nice to know you’re back in high-school. Don’t tell me I’m going to find a notebook with notes from those books in it for you to use later.

Did you really expect any different?

Wait, what gave you the impression I left? And just to enlighten my favorite cousin, those notes are called connotations and yes, his kinky tastes are helpful for a guy who can’t get it as often as he wants.

I’ve heard rumblings on my end. Davenport, the other factions, they can’t get over the fact that the family business wasn’t left in the hands of an Ainsworth. It’s unheard of.

wayne-grey‌:

You’re an idiot, yes, but not that newsworthy.

Very funny, Fifty Shades. Your name, on the other hand, is splashed all across this front page.

[flynn-halloway]

I never see a mention of my name in any of these articles. I’m newsworthy, kind of.

I dunno, find another job?

I don’t want another job.

Listen, Benji, Sebastian left the company in my cousin’s hands for the time being which means you can come back.

[flynn-halloway]

benji-evans‌:

And how many drinks have you had, Flynn? I swear, you’re worse off than I am.

Three tops. I’m out of a job, what else do I have to do?

[flynn-halloway]

I’m only saying that-

Aw, shit, my beer’s empty.

[flynn-halloway]

Not from their beds, no.

I said my two cents, it doesn’t matter to me what you do or don’t do.

Doesn’t make what you do okay.

Sure, and it’s advice I didn’t ask for or want.

[flynn-halloway]

morrigan-urie‌:

Shouldn’t that be up to him? Word of advice from someone who doesn’t give outsiders advice, let the other person choose if they want to be around you or not. You don’t get to take their choice away because it’s never what they want.

Remind me again what your faction specializes in, Urie. You talk of taking away free will when I’m not the one running a human trafficking ring snatching people from their own beds. Benji isn’t a stranger to telling anyone to leave and if he wants me gone, I’d go. What he wants actually matters to me.

[flynn-halloway]

morrigan-urie‌:

I never said I did. How are you helping him from in here?

Let’s call this me living the social life Benji’s not choosing to have. I don’t want to smother him, is that a good enough answer for you?

[flynn-halloway]

morrigan-urie‌:

Yet, you don’t see me breaking into a party that I wasn’t invited to just to feel whole. You’re right, you won’t see any sympathy, but I’m bewildered that he’s survived as long as he has all on his own.

Don’t pretend you’re throwing this party just because you do. Even if you can’t understand what it means having moral support, doesn’t mean the kid didn’t have any. I’m helping him survive.

[flynn-halloway]

morrigan-urie‌:

Where do you think the stereotype came from? Oh, except losing your scientist buddy, that is. You say nothing breaks you when you’re held together by duct tape and superglue.

That’s rich coming from the poster child of broken pieces stitched together by hot glue barely hanging on herself. I don’t expect to see any sympathy regarding Benji from you.

[flynn-halloway]

benji-evans‌:

If you want one, get one– I’m not sharing just because we’re friends.

Flynn stealthily snatched a piece from the box and took a substantial bite. “Then why else would you be sharing?”

[flynn-halloway]

morrigan-urie‌:

You wouldn’t want to end up in mine, honey– have you heard of any stories from men that’s been with me and lived? Besides, I have people that like to break fighters– but that’s a whole different world that you aren’t prepared for.

A black widow, baby, living up to the stereotype. In case you haven’t pulled your attention away from this party long enough to realize I was trained to expect the harshest conditions. I’ve known what taking a bullet feels like, I’ve broken every finger, and I prepared for every mental exercise. Nothing breaks me.

[flynn-halloway]

morrigan-urie‌:

Yet you walked into the lioness’ den, regardless.  Let’s hope you wake up in your own bed tomorrow.

Well, if you really wanted me to wake up in yours, all you have to do is say so, Urie. Besides, your trade would have had one hell of a fighter on its hands.

[flynn-halloway]

morrigan-urie‌:

So, come to drown your sorrows, then? It’s what my parties are good for, just be careful.

My faction’s fallen to ruins and I drink. Enemies lurking about every corner and all that.
