Familiar Torture : Nix x Carter
cdoman:
"You make it sound like i’m not worth your time. I’d be offended if I gave a shit,” he laughed as he shrugged his shoulders, Valerie being the only Vanderbuilt that he cared about more than life itself. "You just saying that because it’s the polite thing to do? Something tells me you weren’t chomping at the bit to meet me…“ He didn’t necessarily mind though, "I can only assume Valerie’s said nothing but nice things…wanting to paint me in the best light possible to get your stamp of approval. Let me guess, he even told you to behave tonight? Don’t worry, I got the same damn lecture.” He groaned, that fucking Valerie was so tightly wound sometimes but Carter didn’t mind. He loved him, flaws and all.
Phoenix lifted an eyebrow towards the other male. It was... Oddly comforting to be with one who didn't give a shit. No need to play games the other wouldn't fall for. "I just wanted to... See you for myself." He said simply. "Valerie told me to be nice and be careful with what I say..." He rolled his eyes though he knew himself and he knew how sharp his words could get. "It's... Odd... To get a lecture from Valerie. But then again... He's my brother and I'm not about to let him get out of my life again..." He slipped his hands into his pockets as he walked. "I was honestly hoping you'd be at least a bit of a douchebag... Especially after the nice things Valerie said about you... My brothers... Have the tendency to put their boyfriends in a pedestal... And I'm a bit of a skeptic at heart."
