CRY WOLF.

@wolveswrath· continued from here

Upper lip curled into the beginnings of a snarl, tips of vicious jaws peeked from behind crimson lips. Within her chest, a deep and rolling growl erupted, like thunder, it made the air tremble. How dare he. First instinct was to punish him for such blatant disrespect, not just anyone could get away with speaking to her in such a manner. 

Yet in the next beat, the growl tapered into a low chuckle. Her indignation rolled off her, replaced by amusement. But there was no mirth in her laughter, if anything it could only be described as sinister. While she could have ripped his insolent head from his shoulders, she saw opportunity. It had been a while since she’d had some fun. Someone brave enough to stand up to her, and who else could that be other than the big bad wolf. Could this be a new plaything?

“Is that courage or stupidity that I detect?” Drathenia retorted, sharp teeth glittering in her bitter smile.

           despite  how  his  actions  may  make  it  appear  ,  he  does  have  good  survival  instincts  .  staring  life  as  the  RUNT  of  his  litter  —   smaller  &  weaker  than  all  hell  —  there’d  have  been  no  way  he  made  it  to  present  day  without  them  .  despite  not  being  afraid  of  her  ,  his  instincts  are  telling  him  to  tread  carefully  .  

           he  KNOWS  the  carnage  she  can  cause  ,  seen  a  good  dozen  human  corpses  mutilated  by  her  claws  .  good  thing  i’m  not  human  ,  part  of  him  thinks  before  he  internally  groans  at  how  stupid  that  sounded  given  just  who  he’s  standing  before  .

          ‘  no  ,  ‘  voice  is  gruff  &  could  very  well  be  heard  as  a  GROWL  ,  eyes  careful  &  unmoving  with  threads  of  an  unnatural  yellow  swimming  in  their  tawny  brown  hues  ,  a  mere  hint  at  what  lies  beneath  sheep’s  clothing  .

          how  many  armies  has  he  destroyed  ?  how  many  monsters  has  he  taken  down  ?  how  many  lives  has  he  ended  ?  after  hundreds  of  years  ,  he’s  forgotten  &  has  done  his  best  to  abandon  such  a  cruel  way  of  life  .  although  . . .

          that  doesn’t  mean  he  won’t  defend  himself                                                                       ———  however  he  sees  fit  .

          despite  it  all  ,  it  doesn’t  make  him  FEARLESS  .  nightmares  plague  what  little  sleep  he  gets  on  occasion  .  but  he’s  found  he’s  rather  good  at  managing  his  fear  in  the  moment  ,  burying  it  under  layers  &  layers  of  stubborn  confidence  in  his  own  strength  .

                                         she  doesn’t  need  to  know  that  ,  though  .

STEVE HARRINGTON (STRANGER THINGS)

a key figure in the himbo revival. you might come across as one-dimensional or vain, but in reality you're a very good person. you fight to protect the people you love, and no matter what crap the world throws at you, you keep going. you do the right thing and expect no reward in return (and you usually don't really get one). you might get a little wrapped up in silly things like popularity, but when push comes to shove, you'll do the right thing. also you deeply crave love and probably have some daddy issues.
