Ow ow ow

Slasher: (leaning on one foot, grinning slyly) Aw, come on, Mittens! Did you really have to introduce us like that? Couldn’t you have gone with something like, “my ridiculously handsome creation and his sidekick”?

Aegis: (snapping his head toward Slasher, voice dripping with sarcasm) “Sidekick”?! Tch... And you said she made us dirty... (He folds his arms, glaring with his usual sternness)

Slasher: (chuckling as he shrugs) Fine, fine, my bad. Guess I should’ve said “her brilliant creation and... the other one” (He flashes a teasing grin at Aegis, clearly enjoying himself)

Aegis: (stiffens, eyes narrowing in disbelief) Did you just— Tch! You said I’m the “other one”?!

Slasher: (snickering, clearly unfazed) What, you’re mad because it’s true? Come on, Hexy, don’t take it so hard~

Aegis: (gritting his teeth) DON'T test m—

Slasher: (cutting him off, leaning in with a smirk) —What, you jealous you’ll never be as charming as me~?

Aegis: (rolling his eyes, scoffing) Tch…Like I would ever want to be like you.

Slasher: (tilting his head smugly) Eh, fair. That would be a goal set too high up for you anyway~

Aegis: (clenching his fists, muttering under his breath) Oh my god. I’m surrounded by idiots...

Me: (finally stepping in, pinching the bridge of my nose) Boys! (They both freeze slightly, looking at me expectantly) Did you really have to act like that on our FIRST post? Can’t you two get along for one second? At least for me?

Slasher: (raising his hands in surrender) Okay, okay, no need to get snippy, Mittens. I’ll be good. Promise. (But he shoots Aegis a sly grin, clearly not planning to behave)

Aegis: (rolling his eyes, muttering under his breath) He never means that...

Slasher: (grinning wider) See? Even Hexy knows me so well already. (mock gasp) Does that mean we’re best friends, tech boy~?

Aegis: (bristling, turning to face him) I’d rather delete my own code than call you that.
