Five in My Inbox Get Kisses // Not Accepting

Not dead, again, dammit. 

He didn’t exactly try to get shot, but he sometimes, perhaps, begged for these fools to be better at murder. At least better than him. 

He steps over the bodies of the gangsters half caked in the dust and metal of the hideout and whatever drugs were scattered by the skirmish. A chill moves up his spine as he moves down the narrow hall. Sirens ring behind him while dark vapor curls lazily around him. It whispered softly, and he scoffed.

“No.”

The whispers urged, he rolls his eyes.

“We aren’t killing cops.”

Disappointed sounds, half serious. As if it mattered what he said. He slips out the back window, red and blue flash down the allies behind him. The vapor shifts, spins around his form, watches the ally, insinuating.

The solider breathes out a sigh, “Fine, Deal. Last thing I need is bodies on both sides.” He reaches out as soon as the vapor forms solid, pulling at the back of Gabriel’s neck. His kiss is always cold, though this time he didn’t have to fight with him, this time he decided to be slightly softer. How interesting it was to kiss someone that could rip him apart in seconds. And he waited for the moment for years now.

He doesn’t twitch at the bite one his lips, actually biting back with whatever rebellion he decided to have at the moment before pulling back. He tastes the same blood his demon indulges in, watching him fade back into the shadows. He moves again when he heard movement heading along the paths. 

Going down alleyways would never end well for the pair, but this time around, they needed to find some place away from the streets. Having caused a little more than just the usual chaos that night and needing a little bit of cover. 

An alleyway sounded like the best option for now. ..It was either that or the roof and honestly? He didn’t feel like bumping into a certain someone else and he really didn’t feel like jumping around right now either. So, this would do. For now.

What Eddie Brock didn’t expect was to see another shadow in the same place he was. A little bit of a distance away, but something felt.. Off about them. Alerting him to be at least a little careful-- Not that finding someone else in an alleyway was strange, but it was the vibes he was getting that were.

               THE FACT IS, GAEA NEVER EXPECTED THIS WHEN TALON HAD FIRST APPROACHED HER. AS AN ACCOMPLISHED BOTANIST DEALING IN THE MORE DEADLY FAUNA AND FLORA, SHE HAD ANTICIPATED THE LAB. The gardens, the loft overlooking them; they were unnecessary and greatly appreciated. But even more than that, she would never have anticipated Reaper. He had been the monster that her father had threatened his enemies with, a major player in Talon. Living her life surrounded by sympathizers, she had heard all the rumors, all the stories, all the information that was circulating about him. THEY COULD NOT BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH.

               The botanist is not STUPID; she is aware that the man she shares her bed with is dangerous. But his appearance is NOT MONSTROUS to her. She does not immediately fear when mist seeps into her room from beneath her door. No one needs to know about the QUIET MOMENTS they share, how he rests his head on her lap while they read. No one needs to hear about how he falls asleep, back pressed to her front and the hand of the arm beneath his head held by his own. THOSE MEMORIES ARE JUST FOR THEM. She refuses to let anyone attempt to twist them, to refute them. Gaea cherishes them far too much for that. LOVES MOMENTS LIKE THESE.

           so the holidays in retail are starting this week. i work at a candle store in my mall && they’re giving me pretty aggressive hours for someone that’s seasonal && part time. while i was expecting this, i wasn’t expecting an infection in my mouth && getting sick due to the rapid changing of temperatures where i live.

          so if you want to thread with me, please message me beforehand. if we have a thread && i missed a reply, please feel free to nudge me. feel free to poke, prod && otherwise bother me. the distraction will be welcome, as i don’t have a very good way to release stress && frustrations. while i love my job, i worked there the past holiday season && it wasn’t fun.

          i’ll drop my discord below! please feel free to add me && we can plot some things out? i love you guys, && i’m so very thankful to be able to come back to this blog with some very high hopes.

decide his fate ○ accepting ○ @adflicte

     It was too late to speak any word of thanks, but he appreciated such kindness from a soul of his caliber regardless.     He would have to find a way to pay this kindness back.
