SOO ( @ichorkind ) said, “i can’t say it.” here / accepting
𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓'𝐒 𝐀 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐌𝐄. it’s a real and horrible shame that they can’t say it, because VERSO isn’t going to say it either. not because he doesn’t know — he’s had his suspicions for a little bit — but because his mother raised him to RESPECT the secrets of others. let them have their mystique, she said, there’s no harm in it. if someone wants to hold their favorite color or food to their chest, prying it away from them is tantamount to BLASPHEMY in the eyes of a long-dead artist.
the problem is what he suspects soo’s favorite food to be. the problem is that there’s an urge to accuse and spit out insults until his throat gets raw from yelling. the problem is that verso is himself, and he is decidedly NOT a patient man.
❝ yeah you CAN, ❞ verso corrects, crossing his arms over his chest. he keeps his eyes on the street ahead of them, but keeps tabs on the dazzling figure in his peripheral. gods, he doesn’t want to chase someone down for answers. his legs are already sore from last night (courtesy of someone whose name he’s already forgotten, and whose number hadn’t been put into his phone).
his gaze slides to the idol. from the side, his glasses do precious little to hide the intense focus swimming about in those tumultuous brown-made-gold hues. JUDGMENT is being passed as silently as he can; a shame, then, that he has always had a habit of wearing his ANNOYANCE on his sleeve.
❝ you just don’t WANT to. ❞
