Dark Side ;; Greg & Cyrus
prodicy:
   There was nothing that Greg could say to convince Cyrus that he was a good person, not now especially. And the fact that he had just appeared where Cyrus lives, where he goes to school! The fact that he had someone spying on him, it was all just⌠Overwhelming and awful. And he just happened to be in town? âPromised you wouldnât show up in my life again! I paid you, I-Iâ I paid you a lot to leave me alone, to let me leave and live my life,â Cyrus said, it was hard for him to keep his tone steady while he could feel all the terrible emotions bubbling up inside him. Cravings he thought he had killedâŚÂ âYeah, Iâmâ Iâm happy here, Iâm in pre-med⌠Life is good. Because you werenât here, cause the cuâ because I felt free.âÂ
Cyrusâ panic was well within the realms of his expectations, but instead of working to suppress it he decided to let it run its course. There would be time to reshape him later on, when heâd had some time to think on his old thinking patterns. âI promised to let you leave without consequences,â he corrected gently, reaching out to place a hand on Cyrusâ shoulder, âand Iâve held my end of the deal. Iâm not here to punish you for leaving the community, Cyrus.â He nodded, giving the teenagerâs shoulder a comforting squeeze before he pulled back. âIâm glad to hear youâre doing better in your new life.â It was such a shame heâd ( partially ) come to turn it upside down, if only to the point where heâd willingly realign himself with his family. Their family. âBut... if I may... why are you hiding?â He gestured toward his arms. âYou donât have anything to fear from these people.â
