the stares they were meriting only added to her discomfort, seemingly more frequent and harsher than usual. it wasn’t as though she could typically wander about without any unwarranted attention, but having another rust survivor in her company seemed to capture the eyes of many strangers, more than usual. she even felt the cafe staff adamantly staring her down, burning holes in the back of her skull.

❝ …. black coffee, please. ❞ – her voice was feeble in tone, avoiding eye-contact with the server as she spoke.

#rimedi #kao's voice cracks in the distance

Even in the presence of an enemy, Sabitsuki showed no interest in taking advantage. White teeth clamped down on his bottom lip as he waved his hand for the server’s attention. Hesitation was evident, but he made sure to go through with it regardless, pale lips lagging behind the flurry of flustered thoughts clouding his mind.

“Can you actually add...--hm --a parfait and a fruit tart, too?”

He turned back to her, a flush dusting his cheeks lightly. Though, he wasn’t about to give her any kind of explanation. There was just something about her presence-- even just the thought of her that made him lose his composure. He’d given this meeting a lot of though before, but that was nowhere to be found. The boy cleared his throat, avoidance evident in his darting gaze. It was better to get it out now before she had to pry it out of him.

“Sabitsuki, I brought you here because-- I wanted to apologize... for everything. Obviously, that doesn’t change what I did But I just wanted to let you know... I’m sorry.”

HE SNEERED … encouraged by the sound of monoe’s hushed laughter from behind him. the two made eye contact once again, and their giggles carried on a moment longer. it seemed monoe hadn’t changed a bit since they’d last been in one another’s company– [ well, it hadn’t been more than a few months ago, but, especially where they lived, that was plenty of time for a person to change completely ]. the glances they exchanged were both coy and humorous, flip-flopping between emotions as if putting their unusual relationship on display for any eye keen enough to take notice of the meaning in their gazes. the two had, in fact, met several months back through a shared acquaintance, quickly jumping into a ‘more than friends ( but not by much )’ type of relationship. the majority of interactions between them, however, had been based around their mutual amusement for the RUIN of others– working together for some time to deceive, steal, bribe and threaten either’s respective enemies. after a specific incident came to the unforeseen point of police involvement, the two temporarily cut ties with the intention of laying low– and since then, months had passed, and restlessness had peaked, leading them where they stood now. it was time for something new– something BIG.

“ — big plans, man … we got us some BIG plans. monoe’ll explain ‘em t’ya, … right, DOLL–? “

Smile and his friend contrasted unexpectedly– the disinterested expression and general lack of enthusiasm was somewhat unusual for an acquaintance of someone like him. There was also something different about the interactions between them however, giving her the impression that the two were actually closer than previously thought. Raising an eyebrow at the thought, Monoe found herself wondering as to why he’d failed to introduce him prior– though, in the end, that was also very much like him, she’d decided.

Stepping forward as her name fell from his lips, the girl turned to her unfamiliar company, the corners of her mouth curled up in a cheshire grin. It was an opportunity to look him over, up and down, almost similar to how a predator might examine its prey– and ‘prey’ wasn’t terribly unfitting for a first impression based on appearance alone; he was pale, sickly in color, and definitely too thin to be considered healthy. Sharp eyes grew narrow as her smile widened, boldly stepping forward to significantly lessen the distance between them.

“ I’m Monoe… It’s Kao, right? Smile and I have discussed it and… …we want to start a gang. “

#meme gang or die #muteiko #lrezumi

A pensive gaze followed each speaker’s expression, trying to gauge the severity of what ever proposal was to come. Lips slowly pulled back in distaste, a grimace at the thought of the three of them initiating the start of some sort of foolish little club. The words left room for a punchline, but he was positive it wouldn’t come. He hadn’t expected too much from a girl that hung out with Smile, but he was hoping to hold her to a higher standard.

“Is that...it? You’re joking, right?”

A chuckle left his lips, a hand moving quickly to cover his mouth. Things like that weren’t child’s play. Although Smile was one of the most reckless people he knew, Monoe didn’t seem the type to be playing games. It’d be a lie if he said she hadn’t captured his interest. Pale fingers reached back into his bag for his flask before finishing off the remainder with the hint of a smile.

“Look-- Monoe, you’re going to need more than a pretty face to convince me to do something that idiotic.”

lrezumi

GRIN PULLING AT HIS LIPS … smile’s expression expressed a fondness for the girl, obviously quite pleased to see her. he found it amusing that the two of them hadn’t encountered one another prior, curious as to the unconscious reason that he’d always failed to introduce his two closest friends – [ by bare-bone definition ]. glancing back in monoe’s direction, in his eyes there was a glint of something knowing– sly, easily returned with a wily grin from the girl, herself.

“ — she’s monoe … ‘ FRIEND ‘ a’mine. “

Diverted tone of voice, his words seemed as though meant for kao, but a quiet snicker from the girl behind him betrayed a second inclination. smile’s gaze strayed only briefly from his friend’s, glancing back at monoe as she flipped silky strands of long hair behind her back and brought coy, low-lidded eyes up to meet his. the grin he returned was a perfect match for hers, seemingly exchanging silent words between one another.

#lrezumi #muteiko #kills u

Kao was quick to respond with a gesture, wrinkling his nose in a childish manner. His suspicions were now confirmed, impression of the girl now soiled by his over imaginative thoughts. Anyone that hung around smile wasn’t worth anyone’s time, including himself. Pale lips remained silent, only parting as he brought his flask back out. Something told him it was going to be a long day.

“So, now that I’ve met your girlfriend, what’s the plan? ---If you’re done eye fucking her, that is.”

His voice held no malice, dead in tone, but simply unamused by the situation. It almost surprised him that he held no jealousy towards Smile. It just served as a reminder that his attention had already been stolen in that aspect.

“If not, by all means-- Carry on. I’ll find something else to do.”

Something about his witty rejoinder rubbed her the wrong way. She’d been through her fair share of discourse in her life– most of it instigated by other parties, some of it by her own doing– but it never made it any more pleasant, nor did it make any more comfortable to be on the receiving end of less-than-lighthearted jabs. He wasn’t vying to rip her limbs off, at least; she could give him that much credit. This monster was already rating higher in her eyes than others of his kind — despite his provocation. Mockery trumped murder any day.

Her fingertips drummed the surface of the bar in a manner that seemed impatient, and as if summoned by that action, the gas-masked maid emerged from the back room with Sabitsuki’s cake and coffee in tow. Her hand reached blindly for the cup as the Cleaner put it down; no other acknowledgement to the woman’s presence was made. ❝ You bored, Kaibutsu? It looks like you’re havin’ a grand ol’ time to me – gettin’ shitfaced and all … ❞

She sipped at the bitter liquid ( tasting much like a watered-down version of the unsweetened drink she often forced down in lieu of breakfast ) and finally removed her blank stare from the vicinity of his facial features, staring ahead at the bar’s unchanging row of bottles. All of them were labelled with characters and terms she couldn’t understand… She’d never taken any language electives at school, though, so that wasn’t surprising. Maybe Monster Boy could translate for her sometime.

( If this encounter didn’t end up with evisceration, that was to say. )

❝ I was just asking. Your friends don’t exactly seem to have th’ same hobby. ❞

#oxidyzed #she's so cute i'm dead #kao tips fedora m'wifey

His red eyes followed her as she took her drink. Bitterness ingrained into every movement. It was mostly likely the only thing they held in common. Her attempt to reciprocate the unwanted banter wasn’t very impressive, though he’d still give her the credit where it was due. It wasn’t exactly a lie, neither Kuchibutsu or Mebutsu liked to join him in his extracurricular activities.

“Yeah, I’m having the time of my life, of course.”

With the subtle wave of his hand he ordered himself another one. It’d been a minute since he’d seen the others, but that just meant less stress. There was always a struggle between choosing between boredom or annoyance. Lose-lose situation no matter what. Though, the girl didn’t seem terribly annoying. No need to try to cut the meeting short. Elbow placed on the counter, he leaned into it as he turned to her.

“We all make different decisions. Obviously not the one i’d make. Maybe if you did less running and more talking you’d realize that. --Or there’s a chance they’ll come after you anyways, depends on their mood. Actually, probably best to leave them alone.”

“My time is precious. To think I’m wasting so much here and you want a better prize?”

A sneer, impatience rapping away at the inside of his skull. He had half a mind to just open the bottle and have it himself--- bid adieu to the annoyance he’d managed to seek out. Wavering balance reminded him that wasn’t the best idea. He’d already filled his quota for the time being. His chest rose with a frustrated intake of air, the rapping ceased, his mood lifting slightly.

“Fine then. If you really insist on being so difficult... Come up with it yourself since you’re so hard to please, your highness.”

@kaobutsu·

If Sabitsuki were being completely honest with herself, the reasons why she shouldn’t so much as give this place a second glance greatly outnumbered any points it had in its favor– so why, pray tell, did she keep coming here? A craving for sweets couldn’t be solved by cake that didn’t taste like anything. The alcohol couldn’t get her drunk, as much as she wished it could, and the lack of atmosphere left her attention wandering… Every avenue it went down, she was uneasy. That seemed to be a recurring theme in her dreamscape.

She knew exactly what went on behind these closed doors, after all. It had been her life.

…But, if she were being honest, there were also worse places to take downtime. Much worse. At least the Sugar Hole had a marked lack of monsters; the only one who came here seemed more inclined to drink up the bar’s alcohol reserves than to pay her any mind. ( Was that even possible? The stock had never changed once in all of the times she’d looked at it. ) While waiting for the Cleaner to return from the back room – from whatever laid back there – she cast a furtive glance in his direction, watching him sip from the spotless glass.

The calmest monster in this place. The others could take a page from his book… If it was genuine, anyway. Benevolence from anything resembling a part of her past was a laughable notion at best — she knew that much from experience. His controlled countenance and guilt-inducing likeness to memory was the only reason she dared open her mouth at all.

❝ You, uh… You ever give that stuff a rest? ❞

#oxidyzed #lmao poor small sabi

Time was an odd thing in a place like this. Days were monotonous and lacking in any kind of significance from the last. Kao almost always found himself in the same position, ice cubes clinking against the glass that he continually pressed to his lips. Anything to distract from such an exhausting existence.

White hair, same tired look in her eyes, the girl pranced in and placed her order. The only thing that seemed to change from time to time was her presence. She was the only one that seemed to experience anything different around these parts. Curious and stupid, but somehow he still felt a bit of envy. He placed the glass down on the bar, turning to her with a bemused expression.

“Why? Are you here to entertain me instead? Don’t you have some monster to be running from?”

He chuckled to himself lightly at the thought. It might have been smarter to not antagonize her, but his bitter disposition just wouldn’t let him. Kao’s attention moved back towards the glass as he finished the putrid liquid in one go. It made him wonder when he’d acquired a taste for it instead of nearly retching almost every time.

“Never. You’re disgusting.”

Kao did nothing to hide the recoil from his last statement, nose wrinkled in blatant disgust. It really made him wonder why he put himself through this. Boredom, such a driving force, enough to make such reckless decisions. Pale hands served to present the bottle of liquor, nails tapping on it pensively before he placed it on the ground beside him.

“Tell me two lies and one truth. I’ll guess which one is which.”

she shifted nervously in place, a newfound weight in her step as eyes fell away from her company. there was a stiffness in the air between them– one that she felt was difficult to describe, and his words, unexpected, left sabitsuki in restless discomfort … what could he have possibly wanted from her? – rummaging through a mental list of makeshift possibilities was surprisingly exhausting.

❝ …. okay. ❞ – was all she could manage.

#rimedi #sabi pls love mEEEE

“Follow me.”

His eyes fell upon the pavement, urging the nervousness in his stomach to leave. He’d pondered over what he was going to say for quite some time, running through every possible scenario. Though, somehow that still wasn’t enough to prepare him for this. It was taking all his will to not find a reason to leave.

Once they’d arrived, he picked out a seat for them away from murmurs of the cafe. Kao and Sabi earned enough looks as is, but together, they proved to be an even bigger eyesore. That just added on to the weight in his chest. Luckily, he could put it on the back burner while they ordered.

“Sabitsuki, you can get whatever you want. I’ll have a cappuccino, and a blueberry scone.”

` a game? with me? ’ INCREDULITY REIGNS PARAMOUNT in cadence of bronze knell, fester’s barb at chalcedony’s jaws rousing in plume of SALACITY ‘round him flickers the air, a chattering jubilation to adulations SADISTIC in pestilential design serving as SMOTHER to timbre hitherto KEENED in titan’s hubris, rancour hellish in firecracker - fury ( eulogy to the pyre ‘pon which he’d sought his lionheart: a candescence of discord thrumming, disembodied arcane of carnal antechamber jeering CONDEMNATION to the masses who from him besought SALVATION ) dimming to dulcitude somber from within TOMBSTONE TEETH.

#erorisus #guess who's back 2 hurt u some more #steps on smile

Kao squeezed his eyes shut as he winced in an exaggerated fashion. Was it really so hard to just drop the act even for a second? Nothing really irritated him more, yet, here he was still conversing with the object of his annoyance.

“There you go again with the pet names. I’m going to have to revoke the offer unless you stop. It's revolting.”

He shrugged, smug expression ingrained into the curvatures of his face. It wasn’t smart to keep prodding, but he really felt that he had nothing but time to lose. Anything to escape the monotonous discontentment of everyday life. Even annoyance was a better feeling.

“So, do we have a deal?”

lrezumi

A SNICKER AT HIS LIPS … Smile reached proudly for the flask, betraying obvious discontent as it was withdrawn from his grasp.

“ — Are y’supposed t’be my fuckin’ mother…? “

Although unmistakably irked by his friend’s attitude, Smile was quick to move past his irritation and in no time at all, his trademark sneer was making its way back onto his features. With both hands buried deep in the pockets of his jacket, the boy leaned enthusiastically forward, encouraged by the newly-detected burst of energy traveling through his system. “ So, I got a friend who wants t’meetcha. She’s on ‘er way here now.“

The rhythmic tapping of heels against pavement echoed through the lifeless alleyway in which she tread, gaze directed stiffly forward in disregard of the surrounding litter & decay. A glance down at her cell phone reminded her that there was no need to move so hastily, yet she continued at that pace, anticipation serving only to quicken her step.

Her company was in sight not long after she’d turned the corner, finally back on the open road to meet the chilling winter breeze head on. Despite the hairs of her body standing on end, the girl approached the others with a prideful stride, straight posture complimenting the confident half-smirk that tugged at one corner of her lips.

“ It’s been a while, Smile. So this is your friend? “

#muteiko #lrezumi #BRING ME 2 LYFEEEEEE

“A friend? --Look, if this is sketchy, I’m leaving...”

His voiced trailed off as he took another swig and quickly placed it back into his pocket. Smile was never one to hold on to his irritation, but he’d make it up to him regardless. Kao was in a generous mood. His attention moved to his phone as he tapped away haphazardly, this person was definitely taking their time. His eyes peered over the screen to try and see if he could identify the person.

Red eyes met a cold gaze filled with confidence. He found his eyebrows furrowing as she approached. It was surprising, but not that surprising. Smile wasn’t exactly bad looking. Though, it was still weird that he’d want to introduce someone like Kao to her. Something was probably up. Phone still in hand, he feigned disinterest as he continued to compose his message. No way he was going to let Smile get the better of him with whatever stunt he was pulling. The boy stopped, eyes locking once more as he took it upon himself to give his introduction.

“I’m Kaoru, call me Kao.”

her expression changed as their eyes came to meet, uncertain of whether or not accepting such requests was truly wise. hesitance played across her visage, sabitsuki unconsciously withdrew from her company in posture, shifting nervously amidst her hushed response. ❝ …. talk ? about what ? ❞ she couldn’t possibly imagine what he’d have had in mind …. should he have had good intentions at all.

Her response was to be expected, why should she trust him of all people. Though, he couldn’t help but feel a bit dejected in return. Teeth bit down lightly on his bottom lip as he felt his discomfort grow. The whole situation was taking an embarrassing turn. Chin tilted downward, he hid his anxious expression, eyes glued once more to the pavement.

“Look, things are different now. I’m not here to bully you.

---can you just take my word for it?”

“Now, that’s no excuse to not play nice...”

To each their own, but there was just something he wanted to hold against his company. Boredom or curiosity? Did it honestly really matter? Instinctively, he took a few careful steps back to widen the gap between them. Threat or not, Smile’s presence wasn’t the most comforting. Well, it was about time to pick fight or flight, but Kao was more willing to override that to press some more buttons. Reckless and stupid, both fitting the criteria of most of his decisions.

“You know I don’t like to share. How about we play a game instead? You win, you get it. I win, you leave me be. Deal?”

@kaobutsu: welcome to hell!

` whatcha got there, kitten? HEHE, you look awful eager to HIDE, yeah? ’

#erorisus #looks up every word in the DICKtionary tbh

A jaded gaze lingered on the obstruction in his path. That nuisance usually caused more trouble than he was worth, but he was equally as entertaining as he was exhausting. He nearly shuddered at the pet name. Of course, nothing like meeting up with an old friend without wanting to retch within the first five minutes. Anything else, just didn’t fit the description of friendship. Hands placed behind his back, tapped at the glass in between them.

“Kitten? Really? Why don’t you cut the shit? Then, maybe I’ll comply.”

#WHAT U DOIN OMG #erorisus #.inbox

blinking away saline from the corners of her eyes, sabitsuki winced against the breeze, clutching her shoulders for whatever warmth she could retain against the brutal winter wind. the cool air was dry, chilling as it tickled the back of her throat, and a weak series of coughs left her lips to be followed by a quiet sigh. it would have been best for her to hurry indoors– glancing around in search of somewhere to warm up with fingers tingling as she shakily tucked them into the thin lining of her jacket pockets.

the sudden call of her name was unforeseen, unusual, in fact, and the girl turned with a pensive expression, unsure of what she’d find.

❝ …. ! ❞ her initial reaction held back her words, lingering with weight on her tongue. a face she’d nearly forgotten with the passing time stood before her, an unsettling– almost ominous feeling writhing in the pit of her stomach. ❝ …it’s been a long time… ❞ she began, nervously trailing off at a loss for what to say.
