#atticus sinclair.

the boy ( tall for his age ) stands over the girl with hands grasped in front of him. posture perfect, grin bright and engaging ( unsettling ). the air around them smells like peaches, and atticus’s hair blows in a light, georgian wind. ‘a friend, a’course,’ southern drawl blesses the words as he speaks. ‘thought that’d be obvious!’

her words amuse him. so much so that atticus laughs a hardy laugh, one from a still developing chest. once recovered, he wipes away a tear, flicks it towards the grass they both stood on. ‘and how d’you think yer gonna do that, miss max?’ tone is sickeningly sweet, entirely unfazed by her threats, knowing that there was more blood on his hands than would ever be on hers. ‘well, if nothin’ else- i’d really like t’see you try,’
