The cult leader swiped the smartphone right out of Jennifer’s hands, curiously glimpsing down to see what she was looking at. The brightly lit pixeled screen showed a news headline; Two Bodies Found in Local Landfill - Is There Serial Killer in Brookfield Heights? Kai scrolls through the article with an indifferent look on his face before he lazily hands the phone back to her. “ I’ve lived in this town my entire life. I haven’t seen anything like this until now. “ 

Kai maneuvered around the coffee table, settling right beside Jennifer and purposefully squeezing himself in so that their arms and legs would surely be forced to press together given the lack of space. “ You know, shit like this happens and people wonder why I’m doing what I’m doing   Why I’m a strong advocate for making us come together and protecting our community. “

A slow exhale leaves the blue-haired man’s nostrils and his tongue swipes out, briefly licking his lips in thought as his facial expressions shifts into something even more unreadable. “ It really makes you think, doesn’t it, Jennifer? How someone can do this and for there to be literally no current suspects for these killings. No wonder they keep happening. “ Kai catches her eye, a vast ocean of dark brown nothingness staring intensely into her blue-green orbs. “ I’d imagine for them it's as easy as 1, 2, 3. “

“You don’t look like a walking tragedy to me.”

There’s a sarcastic note to Mary’s words that’s a little too sharp for comfort; she sets the newspaper back down on the countertop, gives the girl – twenty-two! twelve years her junior! – another look up and down, then extinguishes her cigarette into the printed counterpart on the front page.

“What are you going to do when they get bored of you, huh?” She bares her teeth in something that’s barely a smile – too aggressive, almost predatory. “Or is that why you came all the way to Gotham?”

morning after starters

@firstdead​

Contrary to what everyone in their friend group believed, Kai wasn’t a virgin. He hasn’t been since his freshman year of college. So when he wakes up in bed with a warm, much smaller feminine body next to him he isn’t surprised. He even attempts to hide his face against silky locks of hair, inhaling deeply, wanting to get dragged back into the lull of sleep already. It takes a good solid minute for the realization to kick in, memories of the night before come flooding back to him and his muscles stiffen. The young man slowly cranes his neck, shifting forward to get a look at his partner’s face, confirming his worries. Oh shit. 

He actually slept with Jennifer. Kai wasn’t going to complain about it, he’d be an idiot to complain about sleeping with the girl he’s had his eye on for months. And tapping into his memory, he remembers last night being amazing. However, Jennifer wasn’t some random girl he met on campus, they were friends that actually communicate with each other on a regular basis. Now he had to deal with the added awkwardness of this whole situation. 

One by one, the brunette untangles himself from Jennifer’s form, sliding himself across the mattress and crashing onto the floor with a loud thump as he immediately went searching for his clothes. He had just slipped on his boxers when his heart jumped into his throat hearing Jennifer speak. “ Wha  ? Oh! Nah, no, nothing’s wrong. I just...you know   I was going to go make some coffee, you want any? “ Kai stumbles over his words clumsily, grabbing his jeans and fixing a strand of unbrushed hair.

CRINGEY RIVERDALE SENTENCES STARTERS

“ Okay, Xena, chill out. “ Kai laughed, ducking his head down slightly to stare at the items on the store shelf with a surprising amount of embarrassment for a man that has no shame or verbal filter. He should’ve known taking Jennifer to the store to stock up on food would turn into an adventure all in itself, they haven’t been around each other since college. In a way, seeing her again almost made him revert back into that personality. 

The blue-haired man peeks up at the other and the long, snake plushie draped around her shoulders, shaking his head in amusement. As he drops two party sized bags of Cheetos into their cart, he quirks an eyebrow, “ You look like a knockoff Britney Spears   still pretty hot, though. Are you wanting anything specific by the way? “ Kai nodded down to the shopping cart pointedly. If Jennifer was going to stay with him and Winter, she might want to have more than just unhealthy snack food, frozen meals, and Mountain Dew in the kitchen.

Sentence Starters

There’s a frosty chill in the air, uncharacteristic for a summer night, but admittedly refreshing. It makes Kai suddenly miss his home state, preferring the cooler temperatures of a Michigan autumn rather than the blazing heat that they’ve been experiencing for most days that week. He’s walking side-by-side with Jennifer, chatting about topics that really don’t matter in the grand scheme of things. 

Out of the blue, she demands his hoodie and Kai nearly chokes on his own saliva when he laughs. “ Okay, fine! I was getting too warm in this anyways. “ The brunette tugs the black hoodie over his head, grateful to have the cool rush of air hitting his bare arms. 

“ Put your arms up   “ Kai instructed her, grinning as he guided her into the oversized piece of clothing, making sure to put the hood up and over her head and eyes teasingly when he was done helping. There was something about seeing Jennifer practically swimming in his hoodie that was particularly endearing to him. And maybe he was staring a little too long at her   okay, definitely too long. He quickly averts his gaze to the sky, acting as if he’s admiring the last moments of the colorful sunset instead.
