❝ i’ll tell you my sins an' you can sharpen your knife. ❞ ━━ @praecher

JESSE FUCKING CUSTER ; what a pleasant surprise . the bprd had asked hellboy to drag him back to their headquarters . they wanted to either recruit him or stop him . but big red had enjoyed the man’s style enough to let him slip away a couple of times . ━━ what can i tell ya , chief ? he’s just too damn slippery .
so they met and they drank . jesse told him about his girl and his vampire pal while hellboy told him about liz and abe . it was somewhat comforting , having a friend outside of work . sure , he was overpowered and a possible menace to society if left to his own devices , but hey , HELLBOY COULD RELATE . the people from the bar downstairs sang louder and he thought he could almost make out the words : 𝙸 𝚜𝚎𝚝 𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚛𝚞𝚗𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚋𝚞𝚝 𝙸 𝚝𝚘𝚘𝚔 𝚖𝚢 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎 , 𝚊 𝚏𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚗𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙳𝚎𝚟𝚒𝚕 𝚒𝚜 𝚊 𝚏𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚗𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚎 . ━━ hellboy scoffed . fucking hippies . amidst the several emptied beer cans , the preacher suddenly made a suggestion . tell his sins , let hellboy be the judge . sounded like he was looking to confess . but the big red guy really wasn’t up for any of that . just that morning he had been sawing off his horns , making sure they didn’t grow into UNHOLY PROPORTIONS . what business did a preacher have confessing his sins to something that had , literally , crawled out of hell ? his big stone hand snatched jesse’s can away from him .
❝ ━━ yep . that’s enough beer for you . ❞
