❛ ha, told you i’d win, ❜ prideful teeth glimmer with a deep set confidence, hand arising to swipe at his brow beading with sweat. triumph paints him well, victory inbred in ones bones, it saturates his golden tones ---- an achilles in the making, bred to bring armies to their knees ; to watch gold liquidate and form, personified. panting in exertion, hands on hips before flashing a boyish grin at his sparring partner ( always young at heart ). he makes an active effort not to dwell on the previous proximity he spent to gabriel reyes -- the last thing desired is abrupt feelings akin to being flustered. ❛ unless you let me win. because then i’ll have to kick your ass twice, gabe. that’d be embarrassing. you may have been able to throw me around in sep, but i’m a new man who faces omnics now. ❜ childishly, his tongue peeks out of his mouth, ❛ and i’m twice as handsome. ❜ // @deathrife
