an angry or hateful kiss / @greyfacebob
another day , another argument. only this time ; instead of it being bob’s cheap shots at him that he usually ignores , it had been something said about seth. which as of late has been happening way too often for his liking , and he’d snapped. raising his voice to yell back at the grey.
a few home truths between the both of them shared , the two of them twisting the knife deeper into each other’s backs. he already knows bob thinks less than little of him and vice versa , why would he enjoy the company of a man who judged him before he even knew him ? it’s because of this they don’t shy away.
“ maybe if you stopped torturing him he wouldn’t be so bent out of shape with you , dude. you blow hot and cold with him all day long , his head is twisted. how the hell is he supposed to know where he stands ? “ vile words thrown back at him in response has him scoffing. “ you have a lot to say about other people , maybe you should take a long hard look at yourself. you call yourself some kind of trickster ? nah , man. you’re just a dick. no regards for anyone but yourself. “
“ you call yourself his friend and yet you did everything you could to break us up. everything you could to end what we had and it worked a couple of times ‘cause yeah , i’d had enough. you might get off on it all but it was exhausting ; and you can say or think of me whatever you want because i left. but seth being crushed because of it was on you , buddy. “
another round of verbal punches. anything and everything that needed to be said thrown out there. no more bottling it up. stiles is a terrible husband , bob is a terrible friend. maybe seth would be better off without either of them and yet here they both were , snapping at each other’s heels because neither of them , whether bob wants to admit it or not , wants to be without him.
“ you gotta stop fucking with us , man. i don’t like it but neither does he. and you gotta stop fucking with him. he might not love you but man he has something for you and playing on that isn’t fair. “ a breath , a pause. “ so we need to figure out a way to get along for his sake and stop all of this. “ what follows is the last thing he was ever expecting. bob’s hands on his cheeks and for the briefest of moments he thought maybe he was about ready to just crush his skull and get it over with but no , what comes next is a pair of lips against his own.
it’s surprise that has him frozen for a few seconds , unable to really react. but once that surprise shifts and he’s caught up he shoves the other off him. “ what the actual fuck , man ? that - that is not what i meant ! “ he wipes his lips , staring back at the grey.
