" I had this really strange dream..

Eh, that would never happen to me. "

[ on the couch, cooling his swollen black eye. ]

[Matthew @Matthew6687]

@_TRXGGERHAPPY " if I see you again you're dead. "

[ He.. Honestly can't even be leave what he said. He'd never openly threaten anyone like this normally, but there was something about the other that drove him up the wall in a bad sense.

Gathering his things, he'd leave to lick his wounds. ]

[Matthew @Matthew6687]

[ The man is moving something ; more specifically he's got a wheeled board on which he's balanced several boxes and items precariously.

Otherwise, he's wearing a long coat and a green scarf, nicely contrasting with the orange hair on his head. ]

[Matthew @Matthew6687]

@_TRXGGERHAPPY [ Crouching down to survey the damage. ]

" You broke it. You fucking broke- you absolute troglodyte. "

[ his hands went through the cutlery box, grabbing a short but sharp looking knife. ]

[Matthew @Matthew6687]

@_TRXGGERHAPPY [ he watched as his boxes fell to the floor, cutlery spilling out of one, another breaking something inside.

He stares with this hollow look at the mess on the floor. ]

[Matthew @Matthew6687]

@_TRXGGERHAPPY [ He gasps for fresh air as he steadies himself against the wall. They're both in rough shape. ]

" Great, now I'll have to explain why I'm so banged up. "

[Matthew @Matthew6687]

@_TRXGGERHAPPY [ his teeth snapped shut on nothing as Matt managed to save his fingers, though the whiplash from moving his fingers back like that made his entire posture go down with him rolling onto his back.

Breathing heavily, he shakily got up. ]

[Matthew @Matthew6687]

@_TRXGGERHAPPY [ this one hit his other eye, and while the hit isn't as bad as the first one was, its bound to pop a few blood vessels.

This didn't get the dazed man off, however. He just shook his head, focusing, before attacking Tords face again, aiming for the already black eye. ]

[Matthew @Matthew6687]

@_TRXGGERHAPPY [ I mean, he's already still on the floor so he didn't fall as much as he got dragged along with Tord, landing on him with a grunt as his chest collided with the other, knocking the air out of him again. ]

[Matthew @Matthew6687]

@_TRXGGERHAPPY [ his own face had gained some nasty blemishes from the punch via metal hand, an eye reddened with a gentle purple ring around it from the damage to blood vessels. Looks swollen, but nowhere near as his pained chest... Still, he dropped the box and caught the foot to pull. ]

[Matthew @Matthew6687]

@_TRXGGERHAPPY " You REAP what you SOW! "

[ he WILDLY scrambled forward, at the same time grabbing the closest thing he could. It was a box, glued closed and it was somewhat heavy.

With the box, he rose his hands, attempting to bring it down on Tords face. ]

[Matthew @Matthew6687]

@_TRXGGERHAPPY " You provoked this for fun! "

[ he clammed his long fingers around the bottom of his shoe, preventing the sole to make contact with his face. At the same time, he slammed his leg up to kick the other away. ]

[Matthew @Matthew6687]

@_TRXGGERHAPPY " you're.. A bastard. "

[ he gasped, breathlessly as the stomp drove the air out of his lungs.

His chest hurt a lot; he probably cracked a rib or something. Still, he grabbed the others foot and pulled it over his head to try and make him lose balance. ]

[Matthew @Matthew6687]

@_TRXGGERHAPPY [ Matthew isn't exactly built for fighting. He was easily pulled to the ground, grimacing and mumbling /something/ unintelligible - as he now tried to kick tords knees in. ]

[Matthew @Matthew6687]

@_TRXGGERHAPPY [ He stumbles from the force, ending up with his back against the wall. Matthew ended up a little dazed from the impact, but once he could focus again on the other he rushed back forward, grabbing him by his hair horns and pulling him close to try and punch him in the eye. ]

[Matthew @Matthew6687]

@_TRXGGERHAPPY [ he reels back, and just. Punches him, straight in the nose. Then, he drops him. ]

[Matthew @Matthew6687]

@_TRXGGERHAPPY [ his right arm is trembling. Despite the weird fucking facial expression of his, his still looks somewhat calm when in reality he's boiling inside. ]

[Matthew @Matthew6687]

@_TRXGGERHAPPY [ inhale. Exhale. ]

" I get it now. You want to get under my skin, so that you can count yourself superior. You want to make me angry, don't you. You want to make me mad for shits and giggles. "

[ There's a little smile on his face, an empty grin between glee and despair. ]

[Matthew @Matthew6687]

@_TRXGGERHAPPY [ OHHH now you've stuck a nerve. He reaches forward, pulling Tord close by his scarf. ]

" You don't know shit. I'm there for him, helping out and supporting him. And I'm trying to keep him safe. "

[ there's venom in his voice. ]

[Matthew @Matthew6687]

@_TRXGGERHAPPY " You don't have a single idea of what Edd needs, but I can tell you he doesn't need a silent freak and a crusty kid as friends. "

[ why you talking about edd now.. Ofc it relates to why he wants tord gone and everything but goddamn matt you're looking obsessed here. ]

[Matthew @Matthew6687]

@_TRXGGERHAPPY " so what? He shouldn't even be here, he should have hauled ass back to whatever hole he came out of. "
