seth catches blythe’s gaze, jaw moving slightly, but a sudden shrill pulls him away from the storm’s eye. he pulls a blank face. then he clenches his jaw again and turns back. “so i guess you don’t want to hear the punchline, the end game, the cliffhanger.”
he strolls past the movie poster and chews on his second tic-tac, hiding behind husky laughter and stardust eyes, a 24-karat bangle shimmering prettily on his toothpick wrist as he points somewhere further inside the cityscape on a whim. seth contemplates continuing down the sidewalk and leaving blythe to his own [insert interchangeable adjective here] self, because as much as he siphons off of his company, the inevitability remains that he needed to tell about an ending; one he wasn’t even close to.
“blythe,” harsh with piercing undertones, his eyes are sweltering dark with something deeper than any rage, “if you’re done showing me around, i have a fitting in less than two hours.” picking at a stray hair when he looks back, he wears that smile everyone likes. “catch a cab with me or go home alone. your choice.”
Blythe takes his time answering, his cold hands shove themselves into the pocket of his jeans. He shrugs, not wanting to give the male beside him any reason to continue harassing him with the ever life ruining, mood spoiling idea of telling him yet ANOTHER spoiler to another movie he wanted to see eventually.
“Listen. I get your excitement, but have you ever thought about... what’s the word I’m looking for ?” Blythe taps his lip, faking a thoughtful pose. “Oh, I know! How about NOT spoiling shit for everyone else? I mean, not all of us get to binge watch an entire series in one night. Some of us like to pace ourselves.” Aside from the fact he’s already been given the gruesome details of yet another episode of Game of Thrones he can’t find it within himself to remain too irritated—— admittedly, he jumps a little, got off guard by the sudden change in tone but a smile curls onto his lips to hide his initial state of surprise.
“I’ll catch a cab with you on the condition that you pay the fee.”
