hey guys, iâll be putting alpha on a hiatus for a little bit to sort out life things, but iâll queue some replies/anything i owe and iâll slowly reply to messages as i can- so while things wonât be totally quiet for alpha, activity wonât be up to par for a while!Â
and, a small welcome to all our new members! iâll make my way to each of your IMâs soon, but for now... this'll have to do. iâd love to plot with all of you soon ;-)Â
thereâs something sickeningly satisfying about the feeling of a fist connecting with his jaw; a painfully sweet thrill sending shivers down his spine. he canât help the ragged laugh that escapes him when jiminâs blows land, a smirk pulling the edges of his lips up. this is the shit he lives for, the kinda thing that keeps him getting out of bed every day. cheap thrills, maybe, but god does that metal tang of blood in his mouth taste good.Â
âoh, hitting heavy today are we?â alpha coos, tongue laving along his bottom lip. âwhat, did i strike a nerve this time? are you still as sore of a loser as ever, jiminnie?â
his taunting earns him exactly what he wants- aggression. heâs tired of soley being looked at with fear when he fights, and jiminâs eyes sparkle with something far more dangerous, the look of a predator, not prey. he doesnât want to be treated like heâs breakable, like heâs worth more than he is. and jimin, bless his soul, never fails to deliver.Â
for all jimin always plays like heâs sweet, like heâs innocent and unassuming with humans, with anyone- alpha knows the truth. he knows the anger that lurks, carefully waiting under the surface. and so heâll taunt and tempt, stroking the fire until jiminâs temper gets the better of him and heâs indulging alpha in his masochistic tendencies.Â
of course, that also means that alpha gets to hit without fear, gets to swing and know that whatever he hits, however he hits, is fair game. theyâve got an interesting arrangement, the two of them. something like a rivalry, something like a mutual penchant for pain. itâs so good though- god alpha feels as though heâs soaring when jiminâs bikaku slams into his gut, rips a ragged groan from his throat.Â
âfuck,â he laughs out, panting hard and heavy through his mouth as he staggers to his feet.Â
man, jimin looks gorgeous like this, wearing a mixture of blood and sweat on his skin, fleeting bruises and cuts creating and recreating art over and over. a perfect canvas.Â
so when they go tumbling to the ground, as they always do, alpha takes a moment to admire the way jimin looks above him, chest heaving, eyes blown with anger, with something that pushes alpha closer and closer to temptation (and he always, always gives in). he watches, teeth glinting in the dusky lighting, tilts his head and gives a quirk of his eyebrow, challenging. and then, he hooks his leg around jiminâs thigh, grips tightly at his arms and flips them.Â
maybe he slams jimin down just a little bit harder than heâd needed to, maybe he just wanted to hear the rough, forced exhale when jiminâs back hit the ground. the pain mixed with pleasure that drips like honey from jiminâs breaths is better, sweeter than any alcohol, than any drug.Â
âyou,â alphaâs voice is huskier than before, the beginnings of something near animalistic roughening the edges. âyou look so fucking good like this. youâre almost too pretty.â
he pauses then, takes care to push jiminâs bloodied shirt up his body, admiring the temporarily marred skin below. he almost wishes that they didnât heal quite as fast as they did, if for no other reason than to make jimin wear his marks that much longer.
alpha kisses down jiminâs neck, his chest, down to his stomach and sucks hard on the muscled skin there. he relishes in the sounds jimin makes, the jump of touch sensitive muscles under his teeth, lips, tongue as he maps out constellations on the soft skin.
tonight, he was intoxicated. actually, there wasnât a moment when jongin wasnât drunk since he practically kept a dose of something addictive by his side at all timesâa pretty girl, a pack of cigarettesâ
without it, he felt quite empty, like a doll missing its stuffing.
heâd been wandering the party aimlessly for an hour and a half, dancing with girls in skirts too short and pretending to drink cheap bitter drinks, when he came across alpha.
âyou too,â he grinned back.
of course at the time, jongin didnât know him. all heâd gathered about him from the single minute they had spent in each otherâs company was that they shared a similar sense of humor. fortunately, two-person mass murder didnât have too many requirements.
he smirked, his head lifting up to reveal more of himself in the light. his eyes had already turned black and red with ignited hungerâa definite yes to the unspoken question.
from across the room, a young girl stared in horror. her scream, signaling the presence of a ghoul, pierced through the air. jongin flashed his new partner-in-crime one last grin before springing into actionâsharp teeth, blunt claws and everything to die for.
ah camaraderie, alpha muses, mirroring kaiâs grin with one of his own. itâs always refreshing to meet like-minded people, especially in places as bland as these, where thereâs little more to do than play with the same boring kinds of toys. thankfully, they donât need words to seal the deal here, and when the first shrill scream rings out, alpha feels that deliciously giddy shiver running up his spine.Â
itâs about time he got to let loose a little. thereâs only so much substance abuse can do in place of good old fashioned bloodlust, after all.Â
he relishes in the panicked shriek that graces his ears when he reaches out to grab ahold of someoneâs wrist, head tilting curiously.Â
âwhatâs the big hurry?â alpha purrs, pulling the girl closer, tongue dragging along his lips. one of the tentacles of his rinkaku trails along her jawline teasingly, drawing out the prettiest broken whimper as the rough scales cut her skin. âthe partyâs just staring you know, itâd be a real shame if you left early.âÂ
he lets the remainder of his rinkakuâs tentacles wrap around the girlâs limbs, biting his lip to stifle a groan at the tears rolling down her cheeks. âwhatsâa matter, hm? you scared?âÂ
she nods, and he laughs, a dark kind of glee dripping from the notes. of course sheâs scared. what else would she be? what else would he settle for? âdonât cry baby, i promise iâll make it feel so good- youâll forget how to do anything but scream.â
when she opens her mouth, to scream, to plead, all he lets her get out is an oh- before heâs sliding the tentacle in roughly, giggling a little bit as she gags on both her protests and her own blood. âlook how pretty you are,â he coos, pulling her limp body closer to him and licking at the spatter of blood. âi kept my promise, didnât i? now be a good girl and wait for me here. iâll go get some of your friends to join us. i bet youâd like that,â
the ghoulâs teeth sank in more than eunjae wanted them to, but not deep enough; he couldâve pulled his arm towards himself and used that opportunity to punch this dick hole in the face had the guy not decided to step away. how disappointing â eunjae didnât even get a single hit in.
already his muscles and veins are stitching themselves together, and eunjae can feel the crawling sensation under torn skin, painful when exposed to the air around them; and how rancid this air has become. the healing process, however, is significantly slower, and eunjae drops his arm (out of order, for now), clenches his fist to keep the blood flowing faster. maybe thatâll make it heal faster, too, but heâs no scientist, and heâs probably just making it worse.
âitâs not fighting dirty if youâre fighting for your life,â he says, bikaku wrapping around the leg braced for impact. and when the ghoul suggests tossing his groceries, he actually frowns even more. âi like food,â he mumbles at first, and even louder: âjust because you canât enjoy chocolate doesnât mean you have to be bitter about it, you goddamn animal.â
so he lifts his fists â one where blood is dripping from the crook of his elbow, and another holding tightly onto the plastic bag â âcome at me, bitch face.â
heâs actually taken aback at the insult the half ghoul filings at him, eyebrows raising in surprise. bitch face? really now. alpha gives a little sneer in response, widens his stance a bit and watches. for a moment, his attention zeroes in on the blood, heart rate spiking in excitement at the sight- before heâs distracted by that fucking grocery bag again. why the man insists on holding onto it is beyond alpha, but if he wants to crush all his damn food while he fights then so be it.Â
âwhat a clever retort, first you call me an animal, then you resort to petty insults. i, for one, wouldnât stoop so fucking low,â he totally, most definitely would, but thatâs neither here nor there. âeveryone knows little shit is like, a term of endearment- but bitch face? bro. youâre that offended over little human snacks? i do hear that theyâre good but goddamn. you wound me.â
he canât help but smirk at the irony of his words, eyes flickering briefly back to the wound heâd inflicted and back up to the manâs face. heâs not an idiot- he knows heâll get hurt just as bad if not worse if he doesnât keep his guard up. no one has a body like a statue without the muscles to back it up. it just doesnât happen.Â
âanyway, about the chocolate, dogs canât enjoy chocolate either but you donât go around yelling at them for it. let me dislike whatever i fucking want to, jesus dude i didnât tell you to throw it in the trash can i just suggested sparing them getting crushed but whatever. suit yourself.â
thatâs certainly the last time anyone will catch alpha offering some kind advice to a stranger.
he heaves a sigh then, assessing the situation briefly once more before deciding fuck it, and surging forward once again, rinkaku lashing out. that bikaku is gonna be a pain in the ass to deal with, unfortunately, but hopefully heâll be able to avoid getting punched in the dick by it at the very least.Â
kiko has always intrigued alpha. from the way she moves, to the way she presents herself in every day society- so stable, so serene in spite of her countless murders, in spite of everything. really, it should make him bitter. he should resent her for being able to control herself in ways alpha has yet to learn. yet, for some reason, all that he feels when he looks at her is admiration.Â
if he were to cannibalize, heâs certain the little bits of sanity he has left would slip through his fingertips and heâd get himself killed faster than heâs already on track to. thinking about it sends a little thrill down his spine, has his mouth watering for reasons he doesnât quite want to think about (heâs always been self destructive, but heâs not eager to go out unless itâs with a bang).Â
heâs drawn back from his thoughts when she shifts in her seat, hazy gaze focusing once more. she looks so at peace, writing away in this sickeningly quaint owl cafe- itâs not alphaâs scene, god knows, but if this is where she prefers to hang out then so be it- and he almost feels embarrassed at his own eagerness to meet up with her again. itâs probably a little bit unhealthy to be so fucking interested in another person, but alpha has always adored habits that leave him dizzy.Â
of course, his free time dwindles all too quickly, as does the amount of time sheâll allot him to annoy her, and he rises from his seat. heâs not quite sure what possesses him to do it, but heâd later blame it on a need to extend his gratefulness to her for allowing him to spend time in her presence, when he bends at the waist and presses a gentle kiss to her forehead.Â
âthanks for putting up with me again today, hope writingâs goinâ as well as you want it do.âÂ
with that, heâs out the door, walking a bit faster than he normally would, should she decide to throw something his way for the display of affection. for some reason, thereâs a feeling of content that settles in his chest as he rounds the corner. maybe itâll be a good day after all.Â
for all alphaâs shit, and for some reason unbeknownst to him, ahreum always manages to stick around and put up with him. itâs certainly not for lack of fuck ups on alphaâs part, nor is it for lack of testing her patience, but somehow heâs simply landed himself a small sliver of good fortune. today, heâs irritated her for his own amusement, just to watch her cheeks turn pink with a muted anger, to listen to her gripe at him. it might be kind of silly, but itâs a good reminder that heâs- that theyâre both- alive.Â
alphaâs learned to be grateful for the days where he can laze about, where the most excitement he gets is from petty bickering between friends (actual friends, not âfriendsâ who take the title because they want something). heâs grinning in spite of her annoyed expression, the cutest beginning of a pout that has alphaâs smile widening, almost a bit wolfish. sheâs too precious.Â
on impulse alone, he leans forward and gives her reddened cheek a quick peck (and maybe he made a loud, obnoxious smooching noise too, but heâd certainly deny it in a court of law), pulling back with a wink.Â
âyou know, for someone as menacing as you are when it comes time to wreck shit, you sure do have a way of lookinâ cute as fuck when youâre mad,â he reaches out to pinch at her cheek, giggling at the murderous look it gets him. âyou gotta know thatâs why i fuck with you so much, right? i mean sure, part of it is just me being an ass, but the other half is me being a sucker for cute shit. cut me some slack.â
the red light district isnât alphaâs usual hangout spot, though thatâs more for lack of ever traveling that way than anything else. tonight is different. tonight, alpha finds himself lounging, legs spread, eyes hooded as he regards the man draped prettily on his lap. heâs payed well for a private show, and heâs definitely getting his moneyâs worth- fingers gripping the manâs chin, using it as leverage to tilt it from side to side.Â
âyouâre a pretty thing, arenât you?â he murmurs, free hand resting on the manâs thigh, fingers scratching slowly, oh so gently. alphaâs lips curl up at the corners, just enough to tease at a grin. heâs nearly salivating at the temptations before him, and he would certainly be an angel fallen from grace were he not already doomed to be the demon who drags them down.Â
alpha tugs the other closer, the beginnings of a growl rumbling in his chest, possessive of something thatâs most definitely not his to take. not here, anyway. but for now, heâll play pretend (itâs what heâs paying for, after all) humming appreciatively at the delicate slopes of the manâs face, eyes trailing down his cheekbones, his nose, his jawline and then resting on his lips. when he leans in, grip on the manâs thigh tightening as their lips brush, the urge to sink his teeth into the soft flesh is almost obnoxious. truly, thereâs something too intoxicating about holding a human in his lap- such a fragile creature- and getting to play.Â
he wastes no time in slotting their lips together once more, licking into the manâs mouth almost languidly. alpha is grateful to get to savor the experience- most of the time he spends lip-locked lately heâs drunk or high or both, whereas tonight heâs neither- a low, pleased groan lost between their mouths.Â
âfuck, i could just eat you up,â alpha breathes, eyes blown, lips swollen and slick when he pulls back to speak between kisses. âis itâŠâ he pauses then, looks up through his eyelashes coyly.  ââŠagainst the rules if i have a little taste?âÂ
and if his words have a double meaning, well, who can blame him?
whoops sorry for disappearing for a couple days! life has been Kicking My Ass so i didnt have time to do replies but im here now and will be getting to replies+messages etc! Â
âwhat?â he canât help the way his voice shakes, struggling to get past the lump in his throat.Â
truthfully, taehyung feels like his world is falling apart. with yoongi, heâs always just been taehyung. not alpha, not anything other than yoongiâs boyfriend. but now that the catâs out of the bag and yoongi wonât even look him in the fucking eye, heâs left with the sensation of the rug being pulled out from under him.Â
of course he never could have been happy with yoongi, no matter how hard heâd fought to ignore the sinking feeling in his gut that relationships donât just work out for people like them. (for people like him.) heâd braced himself for the day yoongi found out- really, he had- but for some reason it stings so much fucking worse than heâd ever anticipated watching the love drain from yoongiâs eyes in favor of disgust.
âyou want me to leave? am i suddenly that fucking different, yoongi? because iâm a ghoul youâre just not attracted to me anymore? all the time weâve spent together just means fucking nothing now?â
he wants to lash out, wants to smack the look of horror right off of yoongiâs pretty, pretty face. yet at the same time, he wants to beg yoongi not to do this. he doesnât want to believe that yoongi would be this kind of a person- just like everyone else out there, mindlessly terrified of something they didnât understand. blinded by prejudices.Â
taehyung takes a step forward, reaches one trembling hand out and fists it into yoongiâs shirt. he canât tell which is worse, the sadness or the betrayal. itâs two sides of the same fucking coin and taehyungâs head is spinning. he wants to believe this is some kind of sick dream, but even in his nightmares heâs sure he could have never conjured up an image of yoongi looking at him quite like this.Â
âfucking fine then, yoongi,â he chokes out, the edges of his voice ragged as he yanks harder on the fabric in his hand. âif all you want to see is a monster, then so be it. iâll be a goddamned monster.âÂ
he always would do anything for yoongi, after all.Â
taehyung leans in closer, eyes shifting into the black and red shades heâd always wished yoongi would never have to see. âyou scared now? you think iâm gonna kill you?âÂ
he lets out a mocking, humorless laugh. âwell, i never thought about hurting you. not even once, yoongi. but now? now you should be scared. i promise if i ever run into you again after this, it wonât just be me youâre dead to. itâll be everyone else as well.âÂ
taehyung is lying through his teeth, because even with a knife through his back heâd never harm yoongi, but the anger makes it hard to keep from adding fuel to the fire. in the end, if his relationship is going to go up in flames, he may as well be the one holding the match (even though yoongi was the one who struck it).Â
in the end, he should have known better than to think heâd ever be anything other than a monster in the eyes of a human.Â
"locked up because my eyebrow game was too strong,"
club penguin ask meme ( status: accepting! )
âiâm sure thatâs exactly why youâd be locked up,â alpha snorts, stirring his coffee idly. itâs been weeks since he was first able to finally, finally get a chance to sit down with kiko, and so far sheâs done nothing but supply him with sarcastic answers to genuine questions. itâs driving him up a fucking wall.Â
yet he would never even dream of expressing that irritation, because not only is she capable of killing him without so much as breaking a sweat, but heâs also determined to get onto her good side. heâs pretty sure the absolute last way to get onto someoneâs good side is to continuously piss them off and then get frustrated over it. positive, even.Â
âbut really, thereâs gotta be some kind of merit to all the stories people tell about you,â he continues after taking another sip of his drink, eyes sparkling in delight. âi mean, thereâs no way you get a reputation like that from just having killer brows, yâknow?â
her calm demeanor coupled with the quaint place she chooses to do her writing at would normally deter alpha from believing in all the hushed rumors. normally. but he knows better than to play into that- spotting danger from a mile away is his forte, after all.Â
"when i see stars i think of you. because you're only beautiful from a distance,"
club penguin ask meme ( status: accepting! )
itâs not often that alpha finds himself being called beautiful, whether itâs in the form of a backhanded compliment or otherwise, unless one or both parties are drunk and trying to get laid. so hearing eunjae say that is nothing short of a shock. it takes alpha a moment to process, between being compared to stars- which is fitting, given how quickly heâll probably burn out too- and the implication that he isnât beautiful up close at all.Â
âyeah?â he mutters, flicking the end of his cigarette and shooting eunjae a sidelong glance. âso what, am i gorgeous up close then, huh? if im only beautiful from a distance?â
his joke is a little flat, sure, but heâs on edge now. the rudeness laced in such pretty words is making him feel a little bit like he should bite back, but in all honesty he canât when itâs true. heâs sure as hell not the prettiest person inside, not when heâs spent years and years cultivating the bitter shell around the small bits of decency he has left.Â
alpha glances back up at the sky, watches the smoke trailing past his lips with a little laugh. he could say something like yeah, well youâre not even beautiful from a distance, or continue to give himself shallow compliments- hell, he could even comment on eunjaeâs apparent need to keep an eye on him from afar. Â instead? he just tilts his head back and takes another drag.
 âat least that means you think about me.â  even though thereâs hardly any fuckinâ stars in the sky this far into the city anyways.Â
alphaâs gaze drifts between ahreum and the makeshift sled, perched precariously on a large hill of autumn leaves. thereâs an uneasy curl to his lip at the idea of actually attempting to slide down the orange and red pile, given the likelihood of disaster via their sled toppling over and a leaf avalanche following.
 truth be told, he hasnât done anything like that since he was a child, and nowadays the thought never even crosses his mind.Â
but ahreum looks as though she wonât take no for an answer, and really, when has alpha ever really turned her down? (the answer is never, because for all his talk, heâs still weak to those fucking puppy eyes.)
âfine, but if we fucking die or something- dont look at me like that, i know theyâre leaves but you never know- then just know iâm gonna be really pissed.â
â i have NO idea what youâre talking about. â seulgi comments snidely. grabbing her usual drawing paper which was used for the basic sketches and attaching it to a clipboard, she smirks at his words. â i canât believe you in general. â shuffling at the faint nudge, she playfully sticks out her tongue and sits down on her designated stool, rolling across the marbled floor to linger beside alpha.
â oh my god. well i canât blame him. â she retorts, snatching a pen from the array on her workspace. beginning a faint outline of taehyungâs desired tattoo, itâs a good thirty seconds or so before she looks up at him with a cocked brow. thinking he was about to divulge somthing important she pauses, only to groan aloud and slap him on the thigh with the clipboard.
â youâre so stupid. â thereâs a longer pause.
â i mean maybe. he seems like he wouldâve been a top though, he fucked a lot of people over for being an asshole to him. itâs plausible. â Â
âi think you do, though,â alpha singsongs in response, an amused little smile tugging at his lips. âand iâll have you know iâm plenty believable, actually. generally or otherwise.âÂ
he watches her sketch, a bit transfixed as quick stokes of her pen turn into art. itâs always been incredible to him- seeing things like that come to life without even needing a heartbeat. of course, his fascination is short lived thanks to his need for annoying seulgi, and so the groan coupled with slap that graces his thigh is almost too good.Â
alpha bursts into laughter, raising his hands to defend himself from any other possible attacks before slowly lowering them. âiâm actually pretty brilliant, seul, you just donât appreciate good humor.â
he takes a moment to lift his hips and shimmy his pants down to below his ass, leaving his boxers still sitting snugly in place as he waits for her to finish everything up.Â
âwell like, can you blame him? its not like we donât do the same thing anyways, yâknow?âÂ
he wouldâve forgiven the stranger for punching him in the gut, ghoul or otherwise. no human would actually do that if they just wanted to mug him, and anyway, no human could possibly punch that hard. the only reason eunjae could take it was because of the stupid health foods and training regime in the quinx.
heck, eunjae wouldâve let this guy go despite the vulgarity. eunjae doesnât mind that one bit.
itâs the loss of his beef jerky that has him distracted.
if he had more expressive emotions, they wouldâve been contorted to that of horror. instead, he watches it fall through the air in that slow, brittle way towards the ground. and he stares at it with silence, hand frozen like heâs about to take a bite out of his beloved food.
âahâŠâ
teeth sink into his skin, and without him really wanting to reveal anything, the kakugan forms, all creeping black tendrils and glowing red eye. he doesnât budge, and tightens his grip on the plastic bag he holds with his good arm. eunjae isnât into exposing himself to any stranger during first meetings, but the bikaku tears through his skin and shirt without so much as a second thought, curling between his legs, part of it threateningly poised at this ghoulâs crotch, ready to snap upwards as if in a kick.
âthat hurts.â and, in a mumble: âlet go or i will crush your balls.â
the last thing alphaâs expecting is for his meal of the day to be a fucking half ghoul. just his luck. he glances from the manâs face down to the bikaku aimed somewhere he definitely doesnât want it aimed (he doesnât really want it aimed anywhere, but there are much less horrible places for it to be threatening) and back up again before heâs slowly taking a measured step back.Â
âthats a low blow, dude,â he mutters, tongue dragging along the remnants of blood on his lips. the guy certainly doesnât taste like any other ghoul alpha has had the displeasure of sinking his teeth into- heâd make a really shitty cannibal- though his composure is anything but human. âi mean i know i took a bite out of your arm, and iâd say my bad but it was definitely on purpose, but still.â
his body is screaming at him to finish what heâd started, to eat and eat until thereâs nothing left, but the teeny tiny bit of self preservation he keeps locked away is choosing now of all times to rear itâs head. in all honesty, alpha is way too fucking sober for this.Â
âiâd say we can just drop this and iâll go find another meal, but that bullshit you pulled kinda pissed me off,â alpha sighs, kicking at the ground with his foot before shifting his weight. âso now that i know youâre a little shit who fights dirty, whaddaya say we get this back underway? iâll even give you a second to toss your groceries over to the side- kinda gross, not gonna lie, but if you enjoy torturing yourself with human food then who am i to comment, right? to each his own i guess.â
itâs funny how the universe works. one second youâre saving someone who nearly killed himself right in front of your face, the next you find himself making your way to the bar where that very dumbass is waiting for you. itâs not that he objects, really. itâs just that the universe hasnât been particularly nice to him from the moment he was born, so kyungsoo grew to be a cautious individual; always ready for the next surprise waiting around the corner. but with the way taehyung grinned just now makes him think maybe itâs okay to let loose once in a while.
ânice seeing you too.â he rolls his eyes as his butt lands on the not-so soft cushion of the bar stool. finally. a sigh escapes his lips before being replaced by the tip of the glass and he drinks. the alcohol burning their trail down his throat seem to unwind all the knots forming in his limbs after a day of work. âwhat do you exactly do to think you have the right to say that anyway?â a small quip with a hint of smileâheâs feeling generous today. heâs not exactly someone who likes mixing his professional and personal life together, but itâs actually a miracle how he hasnât blurt out his job in his drunken state all these times. âyou donât strike me as someone with a 9 to 5 job. itâs probably the hair though.â
beneath all the âextremely friendlyâ exchange they call as a greeting, the doe-eyed male actually finds their friendship almost like a breeze of fresh air. and itâs not like taehyung would get offended at anything he says or does. kyungsoo swears if he has to stay another second longer smothered in all those plastic smiles and feigned courtesy of his workplace he might start killing ghouls while singing barneyâs i love you.
alphaâs hand flies up to his chest, a gasp of mock offense slipping past his lips. âexcuse you?â he chokes out, impressing himself with his own sub-par acting abilities. âiâll have you know that i was not only the one here on time, but iâve got a job as well. one that i work very hard at. though 9 to 5 isnât exactly the hours i tend to get. not to mention- they happen to appreciate my hair,â alpha finishes with a sniffle before breaking into a grin. âit helps with getting tips.â
âhonestly though man, what the fuck? my hair is fantastic. your boring job would be grateful to have someone with locks as luscious as mine brightening the office.â his words taper into a laugh, and with a shake of his head the remnants of his charade fall away.Â
âyouâd better have a damn good reason for makinâ me wait a whole ten minutes. ten! you should know better than to stand someone up in a bar- who knows what kind of attention i could have attracted, hm? what if someone bad had been around?â
the irony of his words is lost to the other, but the twinge of satisfaction is still there. he doesnât think heâd really have any issue fighting off anyone, were someone to actually approach him. alpha waves the bartender over and orders them both another drink, regardless of being done with their first ones (because really, heâs not looking to have a conversation about kyungsooâs line of work sober, thanks) before turning his attention back to the older man.Â
he leans his elbow against the counter, propping his cheek against his hand. âwell, you gonna gimmie the rundown of todayâs antics? ya run into any unsuspected issues?â alpha probably shouldnât sound as hopeful as he does, because he doesnât want kyungsoo getting hurt, but the idea of any ghoul outsmarting the ccg sends thrilled little butterflies fluttering through his chest.Â
