He’s quick to spot the iron in the other’s hand— the solo doesn’t blame him. It’s late. Nearing 2AM. And the knocks had been more frantic then he had realized. Val doesn’t follow till a quick glance is throw over his shoulders. Looking into the darkness for any movement in the dim street lights. Obviously paranoid. He followed River inside to his bed, dropping down with a heavy sigh. Of relief? Or because he’d been holding his breath? He wiped at his face with the back of his hand, smearing blood further across his face and staining his dirty hands. He looked even more rough in better lighting. Like he got in some kind of fight he hadn’t won.

Blue and gold hues shifted up to meet River’s worried gaze. “I— I, uh, I got set up. Szajs.” He spat, swallowing hard, “I took up a job, got sold out to… Tyger Claws. We’re not on good terms.”

river listens to val speak as he gathers all the medical supplies, returning back to his side with the kit and a wet, warm towel to clean him off with. thankfully with his many years of being in the force, dealing with injuries like these comes like second nature to him. he’s seen worse after all, both on himself and on others. still, he cares about val and seeing him like this makes his heart tighten with anger. fuck. he should have been there. could have helped. would have done anything to save val from getting beat up so bad. coulda, shoulda. so many of those in his life.

“and the person who hired you?” he begins running the warm towel across the younger’s face, cleaning off as much blood and dirt from the injuries on his face, worry pinching his brows. “you put them under dirt, or not yet?” he squeezes the blood and guck off the fabric, dipping it again in more water to continue cleaning his face off, attempting to be as gentle as he can so he doesn’t end up causing any more pain.

“i really hope i’m not taking up too much of your time, arasaka-sama. the department could only spare my partner and i for this case, but you’ll mostly be seeing me.” the murder of saburo arasaka is much, much larger than the NCPD, but since it was done in the city and it involved such a massive figure, they had to get involved. on the surface level, at least. because river knows there’s much more going on in this case than just someone having poisoned saburo. he can’t help but be awfully suspicious of everything. it’s why he was placed on the case-- so he could finally shut the fuck up, according to his lazy goddamn superiors. 

it’s his first time in embers and it’s rather obvious by the curious glint in his eyes the second he steps through the lavish doors, though his attention soon is solely focused on the man before him. “thank you for agreeing to this. and i’m truly, deeply sorry for your loss. it’s never easy... losin’ a father.” he clears his throat. “could we go somewhere more private?” // @yorinobu

rip river has only ever been to pride while on the force and just supervising so no fights break out or whatever. he either gets scowls or the title of “hottest police officer at pride”. he much prefers the latter.

crrpo​:

“River—” the solo’s words were heavy, short of breath as if he had carried himself here by foot. His nose was busted, spilling blood down his face.This was the only place he could think to come. The one place NO ONE would come looking. “I… I’m sorry I didn’t… call… Can I stay here?”       @formerlyofficer​​

of course when he heard someone knocking on his door this late at night, he immediately went to pick up his pistol and slip on the nearest shirt. it wouldn’t be the first time someone’s found his home and has tried to kill him or rob him during this time of the night, so he’s prepared for the worst. he sure as hell wasn’t expecting val, though. the relief immediately turns to worry upon seeing the blood on the other’s face. he ushers val in quickly, locking the door behind them and leading him to his bed before going for the first-aid kit in his restroom. “val-- what happened? don’t apologize. are you okay? who did this to you?”

after a tough day at work river likes to get into his truck, lock all the doors, roll up the windows and BLAST heavy metal until his ears start to hurt. the funny part is he doesn’t headbang, doesn’t visibly jam to the music, but he’s hardcore vibing. he just has a steel cold expression the entire time bc he’s a fucking weirdo. but, yeah, he enjoys hardcore music a lot and people are always surprised about it because he comes off as very... kept together and calm, i guess. appearances are deceiving or whatever.

river does not particularly harbor any negative feelings towards corpos. CORPORATIONS themselves yes, corporations as a whole he Does Not Like because just like the police force, they prey on poor people trying to get out of poverty while the ones on top just sit in their fucking gigantic mansion all day just polishing their nails and eating the best food. but people who are part of corporations who aren’t pieces of shit? he fucks w them. he’ll never toss someone to the curb just for being a corpo. he’ll be a bit more suspicious of their intentions, yeah, but he won’t treat them any more differently than he’d treat a stranger he just met. however if someone has a mentality of fuck all corpos/all corpos are trash/etc then he won’t argue with them about it because everyone has a reason for thinking how they think and honestly he carries the ACAB mentality with him lmaoooo so he can’t and won’t say anything who thinks all corpos are bastards too

river is such a fuckin romantic when he’s in love with someone lmao. will remember every anniversary and everything his significant other likes and will constantly gift them Personal surprises. not expensive ones because he doesn’t have that type of money but definitely gifts that clearly received a lot of thought and effort and love. loves going on cliche dates.... brings his s/o food and texts them a lot to check in on them/talk to them throughout his day. not to be biased but he’s lowkey a Perfect boyfriend.

“you always been this good with kids? usually they’re not too eager to meet strangers, but they love you.” it’s been a while since he’s seen dorian and monique so excited around someone who hasn’t been their own family. he’s so grateful towards v for everything she’s done, but this especially... offering comfort and distractions to the kids after everything that happened to their brother randy? he can’t even begin to express how grateful he is, so he just offers v another chilled beer, sitting at her side comfortably. dinner from joss left him full and bloated so he has no problem with just relaxing until the sun goes down and v has to go back to the city. might as well enjoy her company while he can. //  relicd

oh yeah so river has never had a Deep Relationship before. he’s had a couple (literally two) hook-ups and a handful of short lived relationships but they never lasted long because the other person was either annoyed with his lack of free time due to all his time being focused on his police work, or they were irritated by how focused he was on his sister/his nephew and niece. which... yikes, really fucking shitty of them. but uhhh he’s never had s*x or been with a man in any way... but he is into men and he DOES identify as bisexual, he’s just... never had the chance to be with one, but he’s pined after a couple men. he’s just Inexperienced with them.
