son of satan

“ this is koda ! you can pet him , i promise ! he might be like a small bear but he’s more like a giant teddy bear than anything ! “

                      “shadows do tend to follow you, though. that’s sorta how they work.” sora shrugged, not even looking up from her notebook. it was a habit she had, not looking at peopple when she talks to them… she hoped it would help end the conversation quickly, but it never had

    “ swoon !! who swooned over you ?? don’t barge into my place and start lying. it’s rude. ” she shuts the door with her foot, apparently resigned to daimon’s presence despite the months she’s spent wondering how to approach him. this isn’t what she anticipated, but, in all honesty, it should have been what she expected. “ there’s nothing charming about someone who has one shirt to their name. people might think you don’t know how to do laundry properly, daimon. it’s a real turn off. ” 

    for the record, the more daimon talks, the more evident it is that hellnerd, for all it’s simplicity, is really just timeless. besides, if the shoe fits, right ?? he’s a total nerd. “ a little rain never dampens this cat’s parade. ” she responds, tossing her coat to the side as she passes daimon and heads into kitchen. “ i’m trying to stay away from the whole freeloading thing these days, but i’ll keep that on the table as an offer to clean out your food if that’s what it comes to. ”

    “ who swooned over me ?? ” daimon repeats incredulously.  he scratches his temple like he’s thinking and then points to patsy.  “ if i’m remembering right, i think you swooned over me once or twice.  you really, really loved my very sexy cape. ”  it was either the cape or the bad hair, daimon’s absolutely certain about it.  he opts for falling onto her couch instead of following into the kitchen.  

     is there not a superhero clause for that ?? something like til death do us part until the dead inevitably come back to life thing ?? now that’s an idea to take to the bank. “ far from scary in my book. i’m just saying margaret in 2b might think otherwise. ” then again, with daimon’s natural aversion to shirts and her neighbor’s nosy ogling, there might yet be a chance for patsy to keep her apartment. 

     “ mangy !! ” she retorts immediately, “ i’ll take the alley over anyone calling me mangy. ” or jen – jen wouldn’t do this to her. “ that a new line you’re trying out, hellnerd ?? because i gotta say, you’ve lost your touch and you didn’t have that much charm to spare anyway. ” this part is easy. this part has always been easy with daimon. for now, patsy holds on to that and allows the smile on her face to grow into an easy girn.

   oh, and she thinks she’s soooo clever.  ‘ hellnerd ’ is stale, and patsy can come up with better.  maybe.  daimon invites himself in, slides past her and into her home.  “ i ooze charm, and you know it !! ” daimon retorts, pointing an accusatory finger in her direction.  he scratches idly at his chest, fingers on the edge of his odd birthmark.  “ once upon a time, this hellnerd used to make ladies swoon. ”  

letting out a frustrated HUFF of air , gabriel shifted in his seat and was quiet for a moment before grumbling , ❝ — alright , i’m only gonna say this ONCE , understand ? ❞ he raised an eyebrow at the INNOCENT BYSTANDER , ❝ i’ll get you a free coffee , on the house , if you can give me a seven-letter word for colds that last a long time .. ❞ the man looked up at them expectantly , pencil hovering over the new york times’ sunday CROSSWORD PUZZLE .

        lucky snoozed on top of his feet- clint could’ve easily moved the lazy pup but the man was comfortable as well. he sat on the bench with a slice of pepperoni in one hand, a lukewarm slice of cheese next to him waiting to be next. the man may have seemed at ease but his eyes still tracked other people throughout the park, keeping tabs in the way shield had trained him to- it was a part of his brain that he could never shut off. 

      “ if you want to sit, i’ll move the slice, but there’s no way goldielocks is moving before he’s good and ready to, “ he shifted to look at the person who had seemed to be approaching the bench, senses on alert.

    “ you know, i get the whole flair for dramatics thing, but one of these days you have to learn to call ahead of the whole appearing in smoke and ash bit. ” ‘course, there were no scorch marks on the carpet so – small victories. right now, she’ll take what she can get because this is a little awkward. it shouldn’t be, right ?? it’s daimon. they were married. they are married, technically. what’s a few months of radio silence on patsy’s end to change that. “ there’s a little old lady across the hall. you’re gonna scare her half to death and then i’m gonna be kicked to the streets like a common alley cat. ”

     long is the way and hard, that 

out of hell leads up to light.
