〝you’d be right、 hyojin.〞 name uttered、 like it belongs ﹔ tongue rolls over teeth with interest、 flitting stare up ﹠ down、 along other’s anatomy afore returning onto eyes. 〝are you like this to everyone you meet?〞
eyes dart to his hand , every muscle in his body freezing . —— taking a moment to reflect as fleeting as it came and went .
" how else am I supposed to scratch my itch . "
snatching the touch from his face with a firm grip, tutting under his breath.
" i'd advise you don't test your luck for the sake of a fight, jinnie ~ "
the sarcasm makes his face turn to something resembling confusion. hands slip into pockets, and head tilts just a smidge.
" thank you ...? but i dom't particularly think having a black eye is considered pretty. " raising a brow.
nose twitches , lips pressing thinly –— brief . when he realizes that his efforts took no affect .
" . . oh , sorry . ugly . I meant ugly . " sarcasm ever so laced within his words . " pretty. obviously. "
the corners of lips twitch ... like they don't know what expression to take. brows furrow...
" why would i fight you when i'm not mad at you? "
a pause ...
" pretty boy? "
shit —— .
chin rises as he approaches , biting back another smart reply . . . " will you spar with me now , pretty boy? "
a look of fear flashes over his eyes , but his expression grows smug .
he hums like that's news to him, looking over his hand as he stretches it out, clenches it in a fist, then repeats the process a few times.
" and what do you know about augs, normie? "
standing & intentionally towering over jinnie now.
his eyes narrow for a moment, like a playful warning.
" i knocked him on his ass, at least. i can't just not let him get a hit. saving his pride and all that. "
