Their lives together had always been RAGGED, considering how they’d met. Raised voices trailed along with the intense glares and STUBBORN pulls and tugs from each other. The gentle redhead was nothing but the highest paying target – one he intended on receiving ACCORDINGLY. Her, a weapon tailored and suited to create such a DESTRUCTION that pushed so outside of everything she stood for, with such high hopes for the very GOODNESS she believed in others. It’d been almost a month since they’d met, since she’d been shackled – and perhaps she’d RUN, blast that escape pod the minute the very feeling of such test tube production and cybernetic enhancement dripped into her head.
She’d grown to almost ENJOY his company, strangely enough. The smiles and knowing SMIRKS were undeniable, cooperation simply managed to blossom without restriction. The shared gazes, the way they blinked away such silly ROMANTIC ideas that their lives permitted against – her CODE forbade it, his own MANTRA disallowed it. They were impossible – it was better to shoo away such childish fantasies.
The very idea seemed to get much more difficult to ignore with the way she’d noticed his so called PROMISE to turn her in for the payment he was promised seemed to have it’s deadline pushed further and further. Tidreen had questioned, an intelligent thing to do, to question her own kidnapper – BRILLIANT, Tid. And it felt as if the atmosphere became less TENSE. Lips pulled together all while they battled the perking at the corners. She was RIGHT.
“ ————— I knew you weren’t so BAD after all.”
A hand drifted to his shoulder, lifting her off of her seat – her smile grew the moment it was out of sight. || MEME.
