and indeed, he took a long sip, clicking his tongue and letting out a sigh.

“you should start drawing planes, sure your brother would love it.”

[𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐒 @KlNGOFDECAY]

as he walked over, atti reached for his drink, knowing he'd need one by the end of whatever speech he was about to give. he never took his gaze away from vin's face, looking all amused by his deranged ideas.

“wow, when I thought you couldn't get crazier.”

" nah nah think about it. "

he'd say as he began to walk back over, kneeling one knee on the cushion beside Attis thigh as he practically lent over him with a crazed look, feeling like a fucking genius.

" a massive hedge maze, fill it with humans and vampires — something

atti couldn't be bothered to stand up, he was too lazy. instead, he just followed the other around with his gaze, turning his head around, letting out a laugh.

“you're crazy insane.”

[𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝙎𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙯𝙖. @SinfulKobra]

" I have just . . . thought of somethin' . . . "

snapping his fingers, he'd down the rest of the alcohol and stand, bringing his phone up, googling . . . something.

" oh my god I — "

and if he wasn't already the most insane of them.
Vin suddenly walked off towards a window

[𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐒 @KlNGOFDECAY]

he let out a hum, leaning forward to leave his glass on the table in front of them.

“i love it when they're willing to be drained.”

a beat, inspecting the other's face as a grin appeared on his own.

“i can't keep a dungeon, too lazy for that. i like the hunt.”

[𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝙎𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙯𝙖. @SinfulKobra]

" oh. absolutely. they like it. "

he'd readjust so he was sitting side by side to the younger, taking another sip as he sat back.

" but sometimes I just . . mmh, can't be bothered giving them what they want.
obviously they don't know that we don't keep them for very long

[𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐒 @KlNGOFDECAY]

“do you ever drink straight from them? or do you just drain them?”

atti preferred other ways to obtain his food, but he most definitely admired the system the Sforza's created from themselves.

[𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝙎𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙯𝙖. @SinfulKobra]

" I don't keep shitty alcohol or humans you know this. "

he'd wink as he normally did before slowly using his abs to raise up into a sit, shaking his hair out and carding his free hand through it.

" gotta circulate 'em every month at / least / . . . if they don't die anyway. "

[𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐒 @KlNGOFDECAY]

he chuckled at the picture on the screen, lightly shaking his head as he drank some more, keeping the liquid in his mouth for a moment before swallowing down.

“they're funny.

with his free hand he pointed at the glass, staring down at the other vamp.

“really good.”

[𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝙎𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙯𝙖. @SinfulKobra]

the blonde would let out a giggle, biting at his lower lip as he moved the phone so Atti could see it.

a meme, obviously, of himself that he'd found.

" so fuckin' stupid, man . . "

he'd mumble out with a grin, taking another sip and settling back down with a hum, lowering

the sudden sense of movement and the mild scent of blood made atti open his eyes, accepting the drink without thinking, not a word on his side either. he'd also take a sip.

[𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝙎𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙯𝙖. @SinfulKobra]

eyes flashing lilac for a moment . . and within a minute one of his vampires was walking over with two glasses.

whiskey infused blood taken straight from a ' cattle ' moments ago.

he'd not say any ' thank you ' though — reaching out and taking it before taking a sip from it.

[𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐒 @KlNGOFDECAY]

chilling back with his arms crossed under his head, keeping his eyes closed.

[𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝙎𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙯𝙖. @SinfulKobra]

laying across @KlNGOFDECAY's lap holding his phone up, perusing.

[𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐒 @KlNGOFDECAY]

@saintlikehunt “no, I knew it. I just like getting in trouble.”

once near the car, he opened up the door for her, waiting for her to get in to then step into the passenger seat.

[𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐒 @KlNGOFDECAY]

eyes squinted, something about it didn't felt quite right.

“sounds as if I'm about to get sacrificed.”

”want to see where i grew up ?”

brows lifted, head tilting slightly.
⠀

[𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐒 @KlNGOFDECAY]

@saintlikehunt “we were in this same exact position before.”

he wouldn't turn around completely, only his head, looking at her out the corner of his eye.

“ezra and me, I told you we were always competing, no matter the context.”

[𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐒 @KlNGOFDECAY]

“we've tried, thalia. we're broken forever, as hard as we try, it just never fully works.”

and that'd be the end of it, at least on atti's side, turning around to stare out the window again.

[‎‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎‎ ˢʷᵉᵉᵗ ᵇᵘᵗ 𝑷𝑺𝒀𝑪𝑯𝑶 ✞ @saintlikehunt]

”i’m not worried. i’m not holding your past against you .”

she fired back, gaze intense as it bored into his eyes.

”but maybe he’d be ready to make amends, have you ever tried talking to him about it after all these years ?”
⠀

[𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐒 @KlNGOFDECAY]

@saintlikehunt “well, I'm fucked.”

he took her hand anyway, interlacing their fingers together, ready to follow her lead.

[𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐒 @KlNGOFDECAY]

@saintlikehunt “i don't care what you do as long as you stay my partner.”

easier saying that while looking somewhere else and not at her.

[𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐒 @KlNGOFDECAY]

@saintlikehunt slowly he let go of their embrace, still looking rather dubious but accepting at the end with a shrug.

“fine, I trust you.”

[𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐒 @KlNGOFDECAY]

“i beat myself up about it for years.”

he said sharply, playing the same game by walking back to where she was, leaving barely a space between them.

“you don't have to worry.”

[‎‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎‎ ˢʷᵉᵉᵗ ᵇᵘᵗ 𝑷𝑺𝒀𝑪𝑯𝑶 ✞ @saintlikehunt]

⠀
”i didn’t ask that. i asked if you regret killing her .”

her expression unfazed, staring at him.
⠀

[𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐒 @KlNGOFDECAY]

“what kind of date?”

he asked, arching only one brow.

[‎‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎‎ ˢʷᵉᵉᵗ ᵇᵘᵗ 𝑷𝑺𝒀𝑪𝑯𝑶 ✞ @saintlikehunt]

⠀
arms tightened around him, holding him close to herself before breaking their kiss.

”want to go on a date ?”
⠀

[𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐒 @KlNGOFDECAY]

“i don't regret turning.”

he leaned back against the wall, crossing his legs at the ankle.

“two hundred and twenty six.”

[‎‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎‎ ˢʷᵉᵉᵗ ᵇᵘᵗ 𝑷𝑺𝒀𝑪𝑯𝑶 ✞ @saintlikehunt]

⠀
”but you regret it .”

that was more a statement than a question, hoping she was right about that gut feeling.

”you’re … two hundred years old ?”
⠀

[𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐒 @KlNGOFDECAY]

“about two centuries ago.”

he rounded her, walking over to the window, taking a quick look outside like that could distract him.

“that's how old I am.”

[‎‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎‎ ˢʷᵉᵉᵗ ᵇᵘᵗ 𝑷𝑺𝒀𝑪𝑯𝑶 ✞ @saintlikehunt]

⠀
”that’s cruel, even for you .”

clicking her tongue. this day, it kept on spiraling, and she was honestly not sure how much more information she’d be able to take in.

”how long ago was it ?”
