“ in our lives, it’s rules and narrow margins. ”
over their discussion, he had come to two working conclusions. of course none of them exactly CHANGED his perception of the other in the slightest. then, it felt nice to be able to talk as openly as he wanted about this stuff. maybe david’s experiences were ultimately different but -- some kind of understanding was needed at times. “ this one time, there was a woman at a restaurant. the kind that has outdoor seating, right ? and i couldn’t see through that one -- no one else saw her, i was sure. and the waitress just pushed the chair in and she disappeared. back then i was certain it was a ghost of some sort. but -- i’m not entirely sure now, knowing what else is out there. what about you ? do you see them at times ? ”

at first, it feels like his vision’s blurred. static erupts at the edges of his sight -- the image, splits. a vivid blue like the sky, no like the depths of a featureless ROOM sprawls out before him. his face, is distorted, too many people seeing out of two eyes. eyes like windows, and the man he’s a puppet. the static grows, and the blue warms, warms. it’s a pleasant orange, or peach color now. but there’s danger lurking in the REDS of such a shade. it’s uncomfortable seeing, who is he now ? there’s a pull from the sky, and a pressure at his forehead. the colors above the man’s head change erratically, and some occupy the same space. a fear is present -- words frequent the space : CONTROL , CRAZY ? , THURSDAY. and the voices, there’s a multitude -- he feels the pressure building, and he can see the man LOOKING BACK at him. looking back and the look says i know what you’re doing, and the pressure is coming from the man with an army behind his eyes and static erupts until there is . . . . blue, he is staring up at the sky.
what tarot card are you ? , from @teletropic
the lovers ! your lover’s back does not look quite the same this morning. no one else would notice the difference, if there even is a difference, but you could swear they have more vertebrae than usual. something in the breathing, as you stare at them in the morning light. the light in the kitchen is just as warm, as it always is. the coffee just as hot, but you cannot meet your lover’s eyes. they kiss you on the forehead, go off to work, shake their keys on the way out as they always do. did they eat anything this morning ? did they speak ? of course they did. you’re probably losing your mind. you would call your friends to ask, if you had any friends left. you don’t of course, haven’t for months. you only need each other. you only need them. you haven’t spoken to anyone in months. you count the notches on their back. you watch them breathe. you pray they don’t turn around.

IT WASN’T ERIK’S CHOICE to bring david. it never would have been. he's not a child anymore--not by any means--but his comfort resides somewhere else, and david haller does not meet it warmly. he is strong, a being of utter subjugation in the same ways wanda was (in fact--he loathed the idea of the two of them in the same room, what utter hell they could pave), and it is not his ability that is the issue. it is his intimacy to erik's person. he loved charles. therefore, he loved david.
sometimes he could see gabi when he looked at him, in his eyes and teeth, the blunt crop of his smile. and he'd feel sick all over.
this wasn't a part of him he desired to share, but there would be no stopping a boy like david, a man with all of his father's strengths, and a shifting perception of the world. the domination he wielded--did he even know it, erik wondered? he watches the rain patter against the car windows, wishing he was flying instead. blood has dried in the grooves of his hands, and it isn't enough.
' .. no. '

“ david, ” charles starts, swallowing thickly, cautious hands reaching towards him, “ i know this must feel frightening, but you’re going to be all right, ” the kitchen, however, charles is not so sure of - he eyes the way the pots rattle where they hang against the wall and turns his attention back to david, slowly moving forward. “ look at me - you’re all right, david, calm your mind, ” the closer he gets, the harder his heart pounds ; to feel david’s precarious situation so closely makes it difficult to focus. “ it will stop, my darling, i promise. just focus on me. you are in control, david. ” and perhaps there’s a tinge of guilt in him, a flash of disheartening familiarity, at having experienced this himself so many years ago ; for having given david this unwanted legacy.
“ WHAAAT! we’re hair twins! ” he says enthusiastically , pacing around him to get a full view. however , his demeanor changes as he stops in front of david, eyes squinting. “ this town ain’t big enough for TWO wacky-haired protagonists. got it , partner? ” his emblemed chest puffs up slightly in a form of intimidation as he tips a cowboy hat that has just appeared down to cover an eye , making his hand in the shape of a gun. “ are ya feelin’ LUCKY , pal? ” ( hi , freakazoid here! i know that that quote is from clint eastwood’s claimed movie ‘ dirty harry , ’ not ‘ the good , the bad , and the ugly ’ like we’re parodying here , but also , i don’t care! if you have a problem with it , write a complaint to corporate. )
