stops.

slowly glaring at her.

[(retired)‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇! 🔪 @KlLLERBUSINESS]

doing a silly little gay dance.

[(retired)‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇! 🔪 @KlLLERBUSINESS]

you're a disgrace.

[(retired)‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇! 🔪 @KlLLERBUSINESS]

(there's a slight twitch on william's left eye at the mention of her name.)

. . . didn't you just say you were trying to move on?

[(retired)‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇! 🔪 @KlLLERBUSINESS]

(stopping to glance back, raising an eyebrow.)

. . . what do you mean? they /are/ perfect as they are, those kids' safety wasn't exactly our responsibility.

[(retired)‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇! 🔪 @KlLLERBUSINESS]

you'll rot on your own, michael. (eyes narrow.)

just quit acting like that and come home.

[(retired)‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇! 🔪 @KlLLERBUSINESS]

we'll think of more as we work. (turning around to head to the workshop- maybe a bit too eager.)

come on.

scoff, staring.

gross.

[(retired)‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇! 🔪 @KlLLERBUSINESS]

side eyeing the papers.

". . .right." now getting up to his feet. "then let's get to work on it as soon as possible."

[(retired)‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇! 🔪 @KlLLERBUSINESS]

"security system to the. . ." leaning back on his seat, rubbing his chin in thought. it doesn't sound too bad, but it could backfire.

". . .it could be done, i think. it would be expensive though."

[(retired)‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇! 🔪 @KlLLERBUSINESS]

(scoff, stepping closer.)

quit lying to yourself. we both know /no one/ wants you.

[(retired)‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇! 🔪 @KlLLERBUSINESS]

"that's the attitude." that girl was in the way, he'd much rather. . .have henry for himself.

"ah, you do? let's hear it."

[(retired)‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇! 🔪 @KlLLERBUSINESS]

— "and. . .im so sorry about charlie." not.

[(retired)‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇! 🔪 @KlLLERBUSINESS]

the thought is enough to curve his lips into a slight grin, but feeling that, william covers his mouth so his old friend wouldn't see.

". . .i know, i know. but we can't do anything about that now, all we can do is prevent future incidents." a hand is gently placed on henry's. —

[(retired)‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇! 🔪 @KlLLERBUSINESS]

". . . i'll help." tired sigh, rubbing his face.

"im so sorry, henry. we should've been more careful. . ."

[(retired)‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇! 🔪 @KlLLERBUSINESS]

"all these." pushing the lawsuits and othrr papers over at his old friend.

". . .im worried of losing everything we worked so hard on because of them."

[(retired)‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇! 🔪 @KlLLERBUSINESS]

"ah- yes, of course it is." ocean blue hues glance back down at whatever they were working on. lawsuits, mostly.

". . .worried, i guess."
