Not What It Looks Like || Dirk & Claire

@crimsonxcarnations;

[ ✉ ] — Dirk frowns as he stands in front of the Guild’s request board, eyes focused on the date request that still sat there. Did he not make Kana sound appealing enough? Were people just not into handsome, horse-obsessed studs? What was the problem here? Why was no one jumping on this!? 

He sighs. Looks like he won’t be able to get his bro the birthday present he (i.e. Dirk) wanted...

“Man. What does a guy have to do to get a date around here?” He mumbles this to himself, though it had been loud enough for the blonde walking nearby to hear. To anyone else, saying something like that while staring at a date request would certainly be a cause for curiosity.

☇: What is the worst emotional pain you've had to endure?

Every man has their breaking point. Danny had thought that it was going to calling up the man who wanted to buy his shop. That had been a pretty low point- but the actual deal went over smoother than one might expect. It was hanging up, with a heavy feeling like lead in his stomach, and realizing what he’d have to do next, that finally did him in.

He’d have to call his family. He’d have to say that he’d failed. That he’d already sold the shop. That he’d made enough cash on the sale to give them money for a few weeks, but after that, it was all up in the air. When he went home, he’d have to look them all in the face. They’d all be looking at him, wondering how to budget the next few months. Maybe they’d even give him a look of pity- and that he just couldn’t bear at all.

He didn’t deserve pity, least of all from them! He’d failed them! And why? Why had he failed them? He couldn’t even say that he’d tried his hardest, could he? No, he’d been lazy and cheap, and lost all his customers! If only he’d tried a little harder! Been a little smarter! What was wrong with him!? This was supposed to be his dream job, wasn’t it?! Why had he sucked so hard at it?! Why was it always a struggle to get up in the morning and do his goddamn job when this was all he was supposed to have wanted?! Why did he lose it all by doing nothing?! Why?!

Danny crossed his arms, on the table, and buried his head onto them. He wasn’t really sure whether he let out a scream or a sob. He did know, however, that that was the very moment he realized that no matter what anyone ever said, he would never be good for anything.

♚ What is a habit that you don’t want people to know you have?

Oh, God, the automatic physical response to being overstimulated-- too happy, too sad, too angry, too tired. The crying. If he could will those tears back inside his face, he absolutely would.

“... I can’t tell you that. I don’t like talking about it.”

Or maybe the fact that he feels things so deeply in the first place. If there’s one good thing that came from it, it’s knowing that he’s painfully in love every time he hears Gray’s voice in his darkest moments.

“... I can’t sleep, sometimes, so I’ll kiss Gray’s neck until I get tired.”

❝ everything’s gonna be okay. ❞

♥ - It all happened in a flash. Felicity had been walking along the streets of Arcadia, high off of a delicious meal from one of the local restaurants when a strange man suddenly accosted her, demanding she hand over her purse.

But before she could do or say anything, another woman arrives and fights the man off. The waitress was still frozen in shock by the time the other girl turns to her, and it isn’t until Felicity hears that string of reassuring words does she snap back to reality.

     “Y-yes, of course… and thank you for helping me! How about I treat you out, as a show of my gratitude~? ♪ ” Sure, she might have already eaten, but there was nothing wrong with enjoying one last helping, was there? ♡

♕: What is your biggest flaw when it comes to relationships? Has it ruined a relationship before?

“I’ve never been in a relationship before... Well, until very recently, at least. That in itself may be a flaw, depending on how you look at it. I have little experience to go off of, and so, I sometimes wonder whether or not I am doing the right thing. Only time will tell if this ‘flaw’ will wind up ruining our relationship... But I am hoping that it won’t.”

♘: Does any physical intimacy scare you? (Example: holding hands, hugging, etc.)

“A-A little...” Violet admitted, “I-I do enjoy h-holding hands and hugging a lot...b-but initiating it is very intimidating.”

✧: Describe how you feel when you are in distress.

“Have you ever read the Cask of Amontillado? Poor Fortunato... Knowing that you’re cut off from everything, down in the dark where no one can see you... It must have been quite scary at first. But, I wonder how he felt a few hours later... Once the adrenaline ran out and he accepted his situation, was it any less awful than being scared, I wonder?”

♪: Is there something you avoid because of the negative memory attached to it?

“Well... I don’t really have any sort of memories at all, much less bad ones...”Lest scratched the back of his head. “...Well, that’s not true. I guess I have a few bad memories. But, I don’t think that I’d avoid anything just because of those.”

“There’s one thing I tend to avoid, though. It’s not because there’s a bad memory attached to it... Quite the opposite, actually. I... like to avoid bringing up my amnesia. Not really sure that counts... But there you go.”
