     ❝ MM … I dunno but I swear ‘m not drunk … ❞  Without much warning, he lazily threw his arms around Hikaru’s neck and was practically snuggling him.   ❝ ‘s cold … I wan’ some warmth. ❞ He retreated back slightly but not enough to release him. He blankly gazed at him from below with glazed eyes and tilted his head to the side. An unusually silly grin unknowingly stretched at his lips. There was a sense of innocence worn on his face – perhaps even playful. 

     ❝ ‘ve never noticed … how fluffy your hair was. ❞  It wasn’t long before he reached to fluff his hair. ❝‘s soft … so soft … I like it. ❞

“Yes. It should be easy.” Well, Hikaru hopes it will be an easy delivery. He honestly is dreading talking to them. He has trouble keeping up with their thick Italian accents. His aunt had always followed along with them better than he ever could on the phone.

Hikaru noticed the box cigarettes Leone took out and then chuckled lightly, taking the one offered to him. Hikaru listened as Leone listed off what they could possibly do, but nothing caught his immediate attention. “— I dunno.” The young male sighed, putting the cigarette between his lips, lighting it and then offered the light to Leone.

He seemed thoughtful and took a long drag. There were many things he’d like to do here, but there wasn’t much he could schedule around five to six hours. He was going to be staying an additional day after the delivery, but no more than that.

At the beginning of ‘by the way’ Hikaru lifted his brow—then he chuckled as Leone went on. “I’ll listen to your proposal— if we can write on paper that this little secret of ours will not come out.”

Footsteps returned to the dock as Hikaru’s men followed after Leone’s carrying off the requested items together in sealed containers and packages that appear to be normal, shipyard items.

“And yes, if you don’t mind, Luca. I would appreciate being called Akihiko.” Hikaru turned his attention to the men carrying the items off the dock. “Also, it appears your men are satisfied with what they found. Are you going to go with them?”

     ❝ UNDERSTANDABLE. ❞ There wasn’t much to do in these parts after all and it wasn’t as if they had all the time in the world. Honestly, what could two friends do in the span of five to six hours ? Might as well stick to the more mundane choices for now. 

     He gave a nod to his terms and made sure to keep that in mind for later. He soon returned his attention towards the returning men who were loading the cargo off the dock. ❝ No. If they’re satisfied then we’re good to go. They know what they’re dealing with so no need to. They’re going to bring it back to the warehouses nearby then they’ll deal with it from there. I’m mostly here to watch over the process of the transaction. ❞

      Even if it was a bit early, he flicked the cigarette to the ground and stomped it out.  ❝  Anyways, I suppose we’re nearly done here. Do you need me to sign anything ? ❞ A deal was a deal after all so there had to be a form of proof. Speaking of which, he called one of his subordinates over to hand Hikaru a booklet to sign. It was to keep record of all deals that were made just in case for future deals.  ❝ Just sign here with your name and signature. We’ve already filled out the other details. This is just to keep track of things and don’t worry, it'll be confidential. ❞

lucian-silvestris:

Lucian laughed at the other’s comment. “Ah, you could say that, I suppose.” Of course, being a cat himself had its perks. But Lucian didn’t feel comfortable coming right out and saying that to a stranger. Most people didn’t take it well, and besides Lucian preferred to keep his secrets close to his chest anyways.

“I work as a curator of sorts for a museum. I travel around looking for artifacts and pieces for the museum to exhibit.” It was an easy lie, one that came of many years practicing the telling of it. Lucian of course had no ties to any museum, but as long as no one looked too closely at his cover story, there would be no awkward questions and confrontations.

“What work do you do?”

     SUCH an intricate, digestable lie that even Leone couldn’t even doubt. After all, many were often placed in jobs that one wouldn’t even expect them to and besides ... he hardly knew this man so in a way, it wasn’t a surprise. Though, it was certainly interesting. It wasn’t something one heard everyday after all. Ah, but perhaps he did doubt it a bit. After all, it was a bit strange given his appearance but he wasn’t going to question it any further.

      ❝ So in a way, treasure hunting ? ❞ It was a childish way to put it but it was in a bit of a jesting manner. “ That must be an interesting thing to do though. I’m a bit envious that you’re able to travel so much. ” Given his position, he couldn’t exactly travel much for the sake of leisure especially with an internal war gradually igniting between families at this time.

      He returned his gaze to the baby feline still snuggled in the other’s arms. What an unfortunate place for it to be born in. He subconsciously reached over to tenderly stroke beneath the kitten’s jaw. 

      ❝ I can’t say. It’s been rather complicated after all but I suppose I’ll end up riding my father’s coattails. ❞  A vague answer as if to avoid suspicions with specifics but he was aware questions were certain to arise. He was under no obligation to answer his questions anyways so it was fine.  

      ❝ So, how long are you planning to stay here ? As nice as it is ... it’s not exactly the safest place to roam -- but you mentioned you had a bit of work on the side right ? I doubt there’s much here for you -- unless you plan to meet with somebody. If you want, I can show you around the area for a bit.  ❞

He was speechless, his lips tightly pressed together while his eyes avoided looking at the others face. Renzo didn’t come back to Italy for this. Of all things to happen, his bastard of a father had to drag him back into his mess. The small, shitty room didn’t bother him. What was affecting him was the situation he was in, it was reminding him of what he previously had gone through. 

The day where his life changed for the worse. He didn’t like reminiscing on it, god he wanted to leave as soon as he could from this. Renzo knew that he had no chance of escaping this easily though. If it was anything like what he dealt with before.

“Of all people to capture for this, you’ve gotten the wrong person. I did leave, and when I left, I left all ties to this lifestyle behind. So whatever information you want out of me? I don’t know it. Really, this is just a waste of time. “

     HOW nice it must’ve been to believe that he could easily cut his ties with this lifestyle. He was almost envious of such naivety however, that was just merely a passing thought. It was hardly relevant. 

     His eyes carefully scanned the younger’s expression in attempt to detect any form of insincerity but to no avail. Was he honestly telling the truth ? 

     “ So, then, why have you returned to Italy ? ” He rose up from the ground and settled for leaning against a wall next to Renzo. He folded his arms with his expression a bit more ... loosened than earlier. There was no need for heavy tension seeing as he was basically harmless at the moment and not to mention, he was curious about the truth now that this was brought to light.  “ Wouldn’t returning only throw you back into this lifestyle ? You should’ve known that as soon as you step foot here. ”

Hikaru is throwing a water balloon at Leone. It's hot out--and playing with water is fun!

     LEONE immediately evaded the incoming attack ( fortunately from the front ) and furrowed his brows in mild irritation. “ Hey. Don’t get my clothes wet and, you should’ve asked me before even doing that. ”

Hikaru was officially irritated and yet also flustered at the same time. His cheeks beginning to turn red with anger and embarrassment at the same time.

“You either know or you don’t know cuteness, Leone. You don’t just ‘hear’ things.” Hikaru added sharply with a huff and pocketed his hands roughly into his jeans. “You make no sense sometimes. I’m not cute–I’m hot. Just so you know.” And with that, Hikaru turned his back on Leone and started walking away.

     “ WELL ... bunny ears are considered cute right ? At least I think so ... ” He lifted the ears off the ground and watched as he was beginning to walk off. 

      “ Hot ? ” He tilted his head. “ I guess you could be considered ... hot by some standards. You just seem ... normal to me. Maybe ordinary is the right word. I honestly don’t think you’re that hot at all. ” In all honesty, he couldn’t deny that Hikaru was a bit attractive but Leone had no right to speak. After all, he’s never ever completely thought about that sort of thing. Sure, there were a few times in which he found that someone could be beautiful or attractive but it had never gotten to the point where he would ogle or admire them. He really didn’t have much of an opinion on this matter honestly.

     “ WHAT a surprise. You’re already awake. ” Were his first words upon approaching the imprisoned boy. “ Sorry we couldn’t get you a more comfortable room but I’m sure you understand there’s no time nor space for luxuries like that. ” 

     He crouched down next to him and stared down at him with a cold, calculating gaze. He recalled memories of their brief meetings in the past but alas, they held no value to the situation. After all, they were never friends or comrades in the first place so there were no conflicting emotions present. “ I was surprised when my men suddenly reported that they captured you. After all, there were rumours that you left Italy or even went into hiding but ... no matter. Enough small talk for now. I hope you understand what our goal is here. ”

“I AM taking the damn bunny ears off!” Hikaru retorted with a shouted and ripped the ears off his head and then threw them directly at Leone’s face.

“BESIDES, why the hell would you send the picture to Vince of all people?! How am I even adorable?” Adorable is just as bad as cute in his mind. He’s manly!

…Right?

     “ AW -- ” He winced as the pair of ears were pretty much smacked into his face. He watched as the ears clattered on the ground in mild irritation but he was going to let that slide.

     “ Why not ? I mean, it’s not everyday you get to see a deadpanned rabbit and besides, little things like this adds onto the cuteness factor ... I think. Or at least that’s what I’ve heard. ” He slipped his phone out slightly to send the said picture and with the tap of the screen, there it went.

“YES!” –Hikaru tried to react to the cell phone and cover his face, but he knows that that wouldn’t even help that much. He is still identifiable, spelling him out to be Hikaru Madden with bunny ears on his head.

“Cute?” The young male questioned with sudden confusion. He never thought of himself as cute— more of hot. Cute was such a demeaning word to him. “I hate you so much right now, Leone. I hope you know that.” He hasn’t taken the bunny ears off yet… The ears are kinda comfy sitting on his head, and he is a sucker for warm things.

     THE heir simply gave a chuckle at his words. It sure was fun to be on the side that teased for once since he was often on the receiving end. It was a nice change of pace and besides, Hikaru’s reactions were amusing.

     “ If you hate me for what I did then why aren’t you taking the ears off ? You seem to be enjoying them to an extent. Maybe I’ll send the picture to Vincent. I’m sure he would admire how adorable you look. ”

Hikaru sighed, taking the cigarette out of his mouth and putting the bud out onto the nearest thing next to him. Leone had snicked at him–briefly but snickered. Unlocking his phone, he went into the camera function and turned it into the selfie camera.

Then he stared at the depiction of himself wearing–bunny ears similar to a certain Looney Toons cartoon character.

“You’re awful!” Hikaru laughed and pushed at Leone with a slight scowl– still sporting the hilarious bunny ears.

    “ AM I now ? No need to get so worked up. It’s only a small joke. ” A slight smile remained stretched across his lips despite the push. He swiftly snapped  a photo of him with his cell phone then quickly slipped it back in his pocket. Now it was time to retreat a few steps back, just in case.

    “ They sure ... ” Snort. “ Look cute on you. ” 

[insanguinatopeccato]

@incxnerated // response to ask

     HE briefly snickered since that deadpanned bunny sure brought visual hilarity. “ I don’t know. Perhaps you should take a look yourself. ” 

[insanguinatopeccato]

lucian-silvestris:

Lucian shrugged. “Sometimes, but I am pretty good at finding them,” he replied nonchalantly, hoping the other wouldn’t ask exactly how Lucian found them. It wasn’t normal, after all, to use one’s sense of smell to track felines through the town.

“Yes, having a cat is a blessing because you don’t have to walk it, just play with it and scoop out the litter. If I ever settle down,” not likely, “I would get a cat or two.”

“Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Luca.” Lucian held out his free hand for the other to shake. “Ah, I am here sightseeing and a little bit of work on the side.” Lucian hoped the other wouldn’t ask about his work. It was not technically a paid job, since no one really paid to have demons hunted and executed. Not that Lucian needed any more money. But still, he couldn’t just go around telling people what he actually did.

     “ HUH. You must have some kind of feline instinct or something. ” He was simply jesting but perhaps he carried instincts specially engineered for animals ... or something like that. Well, not that it mattered to him too much. He was just surprised to know that he was apparently skilled at finding the same cats even after awhile. That aside, Lucian sure was selling him on this whole cat business. 

      He eventually accepted the offered hand to shake and moved on shortly after with a nod. “ Hmm. I see. ” While there were certainly quite a few jobs that required travelling, he couldn’t quite figure out the possibilities to what this man’s job was. He didn’t seem to be a business man or anything like that -- judging from his appearance anyways. 

      “ What kind of work do you do ? If you don’t mind telling me. ” 

[insanguinatopeccato]

     “ IS it wrong, being unable to feel for the suffering of others ? ”
