Striker's honest reaction:

Blitz @ Striker:

*BITING YOU BITING YOU && SHAKING YOU LIKE A RAG DOLL*

It had been about two months since the trial, and his transition from royal life to fending for himself. He had the assistance of I.M.P. of course, but he wanted to be independent. He had gotten his own apartment, and worked for his own income. It was all so strange to him. At the end of this particular evening the Goetia found himself at a shitty dive bar on the edge of town, leaning forward against the rail as he sat on a stool, ordering a vodka soda and rubbing his temples. His gaze cast around the room after a long sigh, trying to shake the mental stress away. Red eyes fell upon the other, his head tipping slightly. He recognized him, vaguely. He was known among royals as someone to look out for, someone who was usually hired for nefarious means, but beyond the familiarity there wasn't much else he could recall. "I feel as though I've seen you somewhere." He said simply, making casual chatter to hopefully give him a distraction from the voices in his mind.

"Sup. Cool weapon set, imp dude." She'd just sage nod at her fellow badass.

It had only been a little over a week since Striker answered any of his calls or texts. After the first day or two, he shrugged and rationalised that his partner must be busy with some extended contract or another. That didn't bother him any. He himself worked long hours between his studio and all of his other business ventures.

But then that day or two turned into three.

Then four.

Then by the fifth, the gnawing feeling in the pit of his stomach started to win over. Sure, they'd saved each other's lives. Sure, they practically lived at each other's houses. They were even intimate. That didn't necessarily mean Striker was obligated to stay if he found something better.

Al breathed deeply, grimacing as he attempted to dislodge such bothersome thoughts. This wasn't like Vincent Vox. This was different. They were different. Striker was too honest and impatient to string anyone along.

And yet--

Growling at himself, he took another deep swig of rye whiskey. Sure, there was no message for Christmas or New Year's. But that meant nothing. "Get it together," he murmured.

Against all hopes and expectations, the door bell rung.

Surely, it wasn't. Was it-?

"Fuck." He quickly inspected himself in the mirror. Tucking stray locs underneath his silk bonnet. Wiping away mascara residue from an impromptu cry. He was normal about this. Absolutely. No matter what happened, they were adults who could communicate.

After wrapping a dressing gown around himself, he went downstairs to answer. At the familiar outline, Al seemed poised to interrogate-- that is, until he registered how beat up and worn down Striker really looked. A hand splayed to cover a loud gasp, eyes threatening to well with renewed tears.

"You idiot. You should've called me. I could've helped. I could've--"

Breath lodged in his throat. Crimson eyes darted between Striker's solemn expression and the velvet box he offered.

It was... beautiful.

No one had ever gifted him anything like this before.

He briefly turns aside, blinking away moisture, before boldly meeting Striker's gaze. "Okay. Here's what we're gonna do. You're gonna come inside 'n sit down. I'mma pour you somethin' strong for the pain. You're gonna put that jewel 'round my neck so I ain't never takin' it off, and then we're gon talk. Sound good?"
