All I have to Give

Archer's hands were shaking as he made his way back into the Glitch!Verse. His clothes dirty, face unshaven. A permanent expression of exhaustion on his face. 

Oh god what had he done. The horrors he had committed onto those he loved. And Death... Death was one of the worst. He had tortured him, broke him almost completely. Impossible to be forgiven for that, but with the way Death was now- He wouldn't know how to take care of himself without Archer there leading him by the collar. He had to fix it.

He held his breath as he slowly opened the door to that bedroom. He remembered what condition Death was in last night when he left. Maybe seeing Archer as himself would help him come out of it?

"Death?" His voice was soft as it echoed through the dead air.

Bitter Being

"Tired?" Archer pouted, pulling more goodies from the cabinet. Not even lifting his head as the automaton walked in. "I can’t remember… did we test these titanium cuffs on you? Or did you break them?" 

He stood, holding the metal bars in his hands. Usually he would have been weighted down by them, but today he seemed more sturdy on his feet. “I wanted to give you a special surprise.” He smiled wide. Now obvious the red change in his eye color, the fancy new satin shirt. “Just to show you how much I… appreciate you.” His words laced with venom as they poured from that charming smile.

Death was clearly, too tired to notice. He didn’t even lift his head to look at him, just continued mumbling into the sheets.

Dunno. C’n we sleep?

[archerwhiterp]

Archer tilted his head to one side, walking around the bed and dragging tools behind him. “Oh… oh Death… You can sleep sure.” He crawled onto the end of the bed, over Death’s legs and onto the curve of his back. A leg on either side. 

There was a click as a thick titanium cuff was attached to one of Death’s upper thighs, and then quickly to the other. “Don’t move now.” Archer instructed as two more were tapped to his ankles. The rattling of chains as they were suddenly tightened. Pinning his heels against the back of his legs. 

Archer leaned closer against his back, whispering behind his ear in a breathy purr. Trying for Death’s wrists to bind them in a similar fashion. “If you can sleep through this Dog…”

[glitch-spine]

He let out a startled sound as he was shackled together, optics opening and head twisting to look at him, smirking.

Feeling a bit dommy tonight babe? I’m a robot hun. I can sleep through anything.

[archerwhiterp]

 Archer pouted as he clicked his elbows together, then his wrists. "Yes yes... I had thought about that. So I took some extra precautions." He stood from the bed, admiring over Death to make sure he was in fact, restrained. "First... lets see if you can break these..."

He pulled something from an overnight bag. Pressing something cold and metal against Death's side. He pulled a trigger, there was a sound like a bullet being fired. But it wasn't a pistol, it was a nail gun. 

One 4 inch long rusted nail fired direction into the metal of Death's side. "How did that feel?" He asked with a tilt of his head.

Tiny Archer. Soft Voice. Very cute. (Open RP)

He had to pause to catch his breath, laying across the face of the phone. That was a struggle! Now if he had the strength to push a button. THANK GOD! Steph set up his speed dial.

He mumbled, pressing as hard as he could on the number, and then on the call. Pressing his face against the receiver and yelling as loud as he can. "HELLO!? I NEED HELP! ITS ARCHER! PLEEEASE!"

Jealousy is an ugly color

Archer swallowed hard as he stepped through the portal back to the Glitch!Verse. It had been so long since he visited. Stuck between portals visiting new worlds, staying with Steph or Peter most of the time.

The air felt different in the Glitch!Verse this time. Heavier. The realization that this was no longer his home. Yes it was, he could always call it that. But it felt different. Like he would feel awkward wanting to take a shower here. That thought sank deep. Finding courage he cleared his throat.

"Death? I'm Hoo-back. I have presents!" He hoped maybe bringing Death gifts from his adventures would help soften the blow that he had kind of left.

Can't Escape the Past

It had been a week of Archer being on 'vacation'. Besides a brief message sent to Death, communication was quiet between him and friends. He explained it as a nice quiet trip away from the Chaos of Walter Manor and the Glitch!Verse. A place where he can sit and read without being disturbed. He missed the day he was supposed to return home. Still no communication. The day after he was supposed to come home and still no word. He had promised Hatchworth they would go to the zoo. He had told Peter they would finally finish that tour. He promised Death the distance would make things more fun for when he got back. Walter Girl Steph he promised showing her the rest of his book collection. Alice had told him about this new theme park that had opened up on Perseai 8, he said he'd give alien roller coasters a try.

3 days late... and then the messages started coming in.

He licked her face and nudged her towards the pills. It was okay.

Shojo struggled to keep from shaking. She kept muttering apologies over and over to Glitch, saying how weak and stupid she was. Walle took two of the first pills out and one of the second one, and offered them to Shojo. She reached out for them with a visibly shaky hand but nearly dropped them to the floor. Walle caught her hand and took them back.

ºHold on to Glitch, Shojo. He always makes you feel better,º he said, picking up one at a time to feed them to her.

[miss-shojo]

He froze, not moving, his eyes looking at her in some hope that she was lying. But then he knew she wasn't. Slowly, he laid down and rested his head on her chest, mourning the loss of one of the few things that gave him joy for the future. Yet another loved one, gone to the depths of time.

Shojo burst into tears, hugging him close to her chest. Walle backed away and went into her room.

"I’m so sorry, Glitch.. I’m so so sorry…." she sobbed. "I wasn’t.. I wasn’t strong enough… I’m sorry.."

Walle came back with two pill bottles and some water, setting them down on the coffee table.

ºYou should take some of these, Shojo.º
