Not one for feeling, or at least expressing emotions, Titan fell silent. Tasha was always the more talkative in their relationship, and he was happy for that balance then. Even now, heād rather have her speaking than an uncomfortable silence fall around the pair. Silence is worse, he decided in the past couple months. Silence means one of two things - you have so much to say and no place to start, or youāve run out of things to say. He wasnāt sure which is worse.
āYouāre not a hypocrite.ā He rebutted, shifting himself to stand in front of the much smaller girl as opposed to next to her. Titan would rather have photos of his back surfacing as opposed to anything else. He was hoping that, unless someone had watched him walk over to Tasha, no one would be able to tell who the pair was; he was thankful for the low, flashing lights that filled the room.Ā
āI think getting caught on the third floor would be worse for me than anything right now.ā He mused, remembering the few conversations heād overheard about the activities taking place on the third floor. As of late, Titan is trying to publicly distance himself from illegal situations, despite still partaking in a select few in the privacy of his own home. He didnāt want to take the risk of being caught.
Titan was drawn back to their conversation by Tasha asking after his upcoming album. Truth be told, it was horrible. Heās managed to record one song that he doesnāt even like anymore, but was so excited that he finished it and announced a new album on all of his social media, despite his managers advising against it.Ā āItās nice being back in the studio.ā Titan didnāt want to mention that majority of the album was bits and pieces of lyrics scattered throughout his various homes, note apps, and twitter drafts.Ā āI hear youāre working on something.ā
Even as Tasha spoke, she could see herself falling back into the rhythms of how it used to be. Sheād provide the commentary for the night with Titan adding a few short sentences here or there, floating them along until a new topic came up. It wasnāt bad per say, sheād always been the more communicative between them and Titan was quiet by nature. Still, separation from the man and their relationship had made her realize that she couldnāt do all the talking for the both of them. It might work, but it wasnāt what she wanted. It wasnāt a scheme that could last - go figure.Ā
Tashās lips twisted up, a little wry, mostly just accepting of the present situation.Ā āYou sure about that, big guy? Iām not one of those girls who takes out their emotions on others, yet here we are...ā Even if itād been for wildly different reasons before, they knew this dance. Shift, shuffle, move away from the center of attention. Make a single profile instead of two, donāt give any fodder for the paps to make into a headline for the next day. Before itād just been so that they could pick up their takeout without being accosted overmuch, but the same rules still applied.Ā
Shrugging, she conceded that point with a nod. It was early still, the privacy of the third floor wasnāt liable to be used illicitly instead of just as a sanctuary until later in the evening, but one couldnāt be too careful she supposed. Sheād seen temptation ruin more than one life of someone close to her. Itād be a damn shame if Titan messed up his second chance because of some other idiot.Ā
Tashaās smile turned into a grimace, lips pressed together until the color leached from them.Ā āIām always working on something, arenāt I? Itās just... not going so well right now. I might go out of town for a while, get out of my head. Maybe then itāll all come together a little better, turn into an album that the fans will actually want to listen to instead of the wreck that it is right now.ā
