"adriel, don't give me no bullshit ⸺ who the fuck is she?" underneath the anger that she felt, what she hadn't taken a second to think about was why she cared? this was just hooking up, right? dark hues see nothing but red in the moment, and she didn't have any sense of remorse for the girl that was standing just near him.

"darling, i'd  never  throw  this  away,"  he  says  while  gazing  right  at  fenix.  there's  weight  to  those  words,  an  unspoken  promise.  no  matter  how  much  time  passes,  or  how  many  miles  stretch  between  them,  ezekiel  will  always  be  there  for  fenix  ( and  kill  for  him  too. )  seeing  that  smile  makes  ezekiel's  usual  sharp,  wild  edges  calm  down  a  little  more.  feels  like  he  can  breathe  when  they're  together.  "i  use  it  a lot.  actually  it's  my  favorite."  deft  fingers  spin  the  knife,  something  he  does  subconsciously  most  of  the  time.  "been  a  while,  since  i've  been  to  your  bar.  maybe  i  should  pay  a  visit  next  time?"  a  playful  smile  accompanies  that  question.  at  fenix's  words,  ezekiel  lets  out  a  laugh.  it's a  sound  that's  genuine  rather  than  whatever  artificial,  deranged  joy  he  shows  when  torturing  nicely  interrogating  people.  "perhaps  a  bit  of  flirting,  but  mostly  worry."  he  reaches  out,  fingers  skating  down  fenix's  arm.  "think  the  real  question  is  when  do  i  not  miss  you?"

a bitter scoff filled the space between them. ❝ i bet you have an excuse , you were always full of them. ❞ but there was a sliver of hope , as if maybe this was one big misunderstanding. those simple words still do love you echoing in her ears. ❝ i'm more than annoyed. i'm . . . ❞ hurt , was what she wanted to say. but instead , she went with , ❝ angry. and i'm allowed to be , free country and all . . . i might as well see how dumb you think i am since you're already here. go ahead , i'm listening. ❞

of course she knew he wanted more than that. he wasn't exactly shy about his feelings towards her, no matter how hard she tried to ignore them. "i don't know if that's such a good idea." she frowned, eyes catching his for a beat. "we drive each other crazy when we're together, noah. it's toxic."
