Run the Black Parade

Moth just smiled, “ It’s okay, I can do it between jobs. ” He replied, just enjoying the closeness with him. It was a nice change to condemning souls to the abyss. Hearing Cin’s stomach growled he smirked, “ Oooh someone’s excited~ ” He teased playfully, before reluctantly letting go of the gods hand so he could start to eat his own food; however not before he shifted a leg to press against Cinder’s so there was some contact between them still. He chowed down in some fries and a few nuggets before sipping his drink and then getting to the main meal. The burrito. Taking a big bite he had sauce smeared onto his cheeks in no time as he ate happily only to swallow hard and lick his lips before replying, “ It’s been hectic, plus I’ve had an annoyance occurring for a while that’s really been getting on my nerves. Not to mention I’m not authorised to kill the cunt. ” He grumbled annoyed.

He looked unsure but nodded when Moth said that he could message him between his contracts. It would help getting reminders to stop and actually eat so he wouldn't grow too weak and have an episode where he annihilated another city due to his hunger. That was always embarrassing when he came to and realized what he'd done. At the tease he blushed and looked embarrassed. "I can't help its been awhile since I actually ate anything." He pouted before pressing his leg to Moths and fully digging into his burger. The meat was soft and shredded easily between his teeth so he wouldn't need to chew it too much. In the end he went through around six burgers and several orders of fries. Once he was filled he sighed and leaned back in his chair feeling better. "I really needed that. We really should do this more often." Looking over to Moth he smiled after wiping his mouth clean.

Moth missed him when Cinder forgot, he felt lonely and hated that what they had was gone. But in the end they still stuck together and that was all that mattered. “ Yeah it’s… tiring but you kinda get used to it. ” He replied before pausing to blink surprised before he gave the god a genuine warm smile, a rare thing from him. “ Thanks Cin, wouldn’t trade you for anything. ” He replied squeezing his hand back gently, being careful of his own strength. “ Thanks for being here for me, and being patient with me. ” He told him softly, for him alone to hear, he wouldn’t be there if it wasn’t for him. He had been the one to keep him from loosing his mind.

He knew far too well what living from the beginning of time did to somebody. Sure he had his resets but he still existed in the beginning and had to continue living until the very end. Smiling a bit at Moth he knew they'd always have each other. No matter what happened they would find each other and reconnect as if nothing had happened. "I'll always be there for you Moth. No matter what happens you've got me at your side. We're a right pair aren't we?" He smiled and glowed a bit as his flames seemed to kick up to show off a bit.

Moth was so grateful Cinder was in his life, he had been at his side at numerous resets, he stayed with him until the end before everything began again. It was an endless cycle with no end, so he was just glad he had someone to keep him sane. Moth smirked slightly at Cinder’s response before he lifted his hand and gently kissed his knuckles, “ Indeed we are. And I wouldn’t trade it for anything. ” He replied before sighing and leaning back in his chair, still gently holding Cinder’s hand, “ Shall we order some food? I really haven’t eaten much in a while. ” He asked curiously, gently rubbing his thumb against Cin’s hand.

It was so comforting holding Moths hand like this. It made him feel like he was almost remembering something he'd forgotten. Smiling a bit he just relaxed and scooted his chair a bit closer so they could keep holding hands without having to stretch too much. "Yeah food sounds good. You know I'll just get my usual but what sounds good for you this time?" He asked as Moths tastes changed from time to time while he had to keep mostly the same due to his mouth and the difficulties it made at eating. Putting in his order he waited to see what Moth would want this time. His stomach growled a bit as it had been a good while since his last meal due to having to work so much as of late.

He tried not to let go of Cinder’s hand as he relaxed in the chair, as they spoke about food he thought about it before ordering a sweet bbq pulled human burrito with extra cheese, a side of mozzarella sticks, fries, and some chicken nuggets, he also ordered a mango energy drink and then returned his attention to Cin, he hadn’t been able to eat properly by being overloaded with tasks to complete. For now his phone was silent, he was on a break which was hard to get from them really so he wouldn’t waste a moment of it. Hearing Cinder’s stomach growled he gave him a look, “ You need to keep on top of your eating, we don’t want your fire to falter. ” He remarked concerned.

He ordered his usual charrus burger with extra veg and sauce and a side of spider fries dusted with cinnamon and sugar. For his drink he got a blood soda as he needed the iron and other nutrients to help replace what he was lacking. Hearing what Moth ordered his mouth watered and he wiped at his lips trying to keep from accidentally drooling all over himself again. "Yeah I know I gotta keep up on my eating. I've just been so busy with work and trying to keep up on my paperwork." Sighing he squeezed his hand again enjoying the comfort that being together with him brought. "What about you? When's the last time you had a proper meal?"

Moth wasn’t surprised with what Cin ordered, it was his usual and it amused him. When answered about the eating he gave a sympathetic look, “ Yeah I get that, if you want I can message you every now and then to remind you? ” He offered with a warm smile, feeling the squeeze he kept rubbing his thumb against the god’s hand assuringly. He then paused and sighed, “ Not for a good while, not sure when exactly. I’ve been backed up on sacrifices to collect and deals to complete. Most people don’t ever seem to realise just how many people fall into absolute despair. ” He sighed with a tired look.

He gave an awkward smile when Moth offered to message him occasionally to remind him to stop and eat. Sure it would be helpful but he didn't want to take up too much of his precious free time. "You can but you don't have to. I know how rare your free time is." Rubbing his own thumb against Moths hand he wanted to share the comfort he was getting. It felt like they were two sides of the same coin sometimes and closer than he remembered. When the food came out his stomach grumbled and he blushed a bit as he was starving. Digging into his fries first he enjoyed the burst of sweetness against his tongue and how they seemed to melt against his tongue. He usually got food that didn't require too much chewing as with his teeth he could easily rip his cheeks open and bleed out. "Yeah I can understand that things get built up with how things have been as of late. You're about as busy as I am anymore."

Moth knew it would be short lived, but he took every moment he could get to just breathe and remember he existed. To try and forget his endless tasks. They were both so demanding of the two, they had found it so much easier to be themselves around each other because of it. He just enjoyed the creamy drink and just eased back in his chair, teasing the god some before he blinked and turned faintly red, he scratched the side of his nose and glanced away with his glowing deep blue eyes before he huffed, “ Always have been the cream of the crop. ” He muttered. He then looked back over at Cinder, “ So how’s things been for you? ” He asked with a smile, finishing his cocoa and setting the empty cup down on the table.

It was nice to just sit and talk for awhile without anyone demanding anything of him. How long had it been since he'd actually had some free time to relax and enjoy? Usually when he got too comfortable they would do something to cause him to rush around and try to fix before things fell apart. Finishing off his cocoa he felt his cheeks darken a bit at Moths words. So he really did think that highly of him? Smiling a bit he leaned towards Moth and licked his lips a bit to clean up the remnents of chocolate from his drink. "Now you're just flattering me. What's really on your mind Moth? What's got you seeking me out? Couldn't just be because you missed little old me could it?"

Moth enjoyed these moments, they were his little moments of joy that kept him going through an endless life of tasks with no escape… And gods had he tried to escape. Seeing Cinder flush he smirked slightly before Cinder leaned close and licked his lips causing him to go bright red and shove him back into his seat, “ Asshole! ” He exclaimed flustered. He huffed and gave him the stink eye before he gave him a look, “ What am I not allowed to hang out with you just because? ” He asked with a small frown.

When he was shoved back into his seat he just laughed at how flustered Moth had become. It seemed so easy to rile him up by just flashing some teeth and giving him looks. Maybe he was being an asshole for working him up but he couldn't help it. Leaning back in his chair he ran a hand through his spiked hair. "Of course you can hang out with me for any reason. I'm just fucking with you Moth. You don't have to get so worked up. Its okay." Reassuring him he reached out to touch his hand. "We can hang out anytime you want."

Moth tried to calm down, Cinder could always get to him in ways others couldn’t. Maybe it was the loops, the repeats after he reset. He half wondered if he even remembered any of their time together. He snapped too when the god spoke and he released he was being messed with, “ Oh. ” He said half deflating as he eased back and let out a breath, “ Asshole. ” He said it affectionately. When the touch to his hand came he twitched before relaxing feeling warmth spread up his arm even as the cuff around his wrist stayed icy cold. He gently grasped his fingers and smiled at him, “ Thanks Cin, I think I’m just stressed out from everything. You know how it is… wars, sacrifices, despair, it just… wears you down y’know? ” He mumbled with a tired smile that showed his unfathomable age.

As he held his hand he tried to comfort him with the heat of his flames. Letting his warmth spread through him he just smiled a bit at how affectionate he'd been to him. Sometimes he remembered their times together but sometimes he didn't and that hurt. Losing big chunks of his memory due to resets he did his best to try and always be there for Moth no matter what. "Yeah I know the feeling. I've had to live through them too but you are more on the front lines of it all. You know if you ever need a break you can always come over to my pantheon and just relax for awhile. I'll read my poetry to them to distract them so you can have some actual time off for once." He smiled a bit and squeezed his hand softly.

She nods “y-yeah…” she was quiet, pulling her knees to her chest. She wasn’t moving to come out. She honestly didn’t meet his eyes this time.

Dropping down to sit next to her he summoned a fuzzy warm blanket and offered it to her. "Hey? Is everything okay? Something seems to be bothering you today."

“My head…” she mumbled “just very tired of the same bullshit” she hesitated to take it the blanket. Her eyes seem more sunken in. Her arms were bruised.

Seeing that she looked as if she were struggling he just scooted over to her side and pulled her into a hug. "Are you sure you're okay? What happened? Whose ass do I need to kick for you?"

She winced. Yeah she got hurt. She took a deep breath and leaned into him “they died by a volcano. Angry mob of confused scared people. I was the big bad villain. It’s apart of the gig. It hasn’t been a great week…”

He frowned and just pulled her onto his lap to hold her without having to make her lean too far. Resting his head on her shoulder he sighed. "Chaos isn't always the good guy in other people's eyes. Sometimes you end up the villain for just doing what's needed to keep the balance." Using his flames he gently healed her injuries.
