@daysflo That ind chapter in complete works after the t&r squad leave and ilay and taeui are left alone in kyleโs houseโฆ (that is the scene that i found is more leaning toward ROMANTIC. i find that the other scene leans more to "devoted to you" vibe)
"i can't do this anymore. i'm done playing nice. i'm /done/, princess."
"khas... lhana?"
phainon gives her a sneer so distant and chilly he forces himself to not flinch at her shocked, deeply hurt look.
"i've no use for us anymore. i'm breaking up with you."
(tbc?)
dread and realization, shrieking in his head. anger and rage, frothing in his veins. there's no proof, he might just be getting baited, and yetโ!
"youโ" phainon barely keeps his voice steady. "what did you do."
"me? i've done nothing," lygus sounds innocent. surprised, even.
"a moment of vulnerability captured by my own ears. what a... delightful gift from my muse."
the sound makes his skin crawl, and he shoots up from the bed, alert. "how the /hell/ did you get this number."
"such hostility. i'm honored," lygus purrs back. phainon's jaw clenches.
ehehehehehehehe.... ๐๐๐
i have to end the rockstar au on a bang, don't i?
i hope i made lygus as creepy and as unsettling as he is in canon
but now i'm going to run away, bc i KNOW y'all won't be happy with me
still, i hope you'll enjoy this twist, see you next week! ๐ซถ๐ซถ

"what happened?"
unease flickers through her face, but she answers him anyway.
"mr. aventurine's in the hospital. it's his doc hubby on the other line."
phainon's stops breathing. "... what?"
cipher swallows.
"and they don't know if he'll pull through or not."
(tbc?)
more bluntly than intended. he doesn't know what robin is like drunk. better to be safe than sorry. "my girlfriend and i are retiring for the night. if you can get out of our way?"
"of course." the man hums back, a slithering note that gives him chills. but he steps aside
they've ended up in an empty meeting room of sorts. phainon follows, closes and locks the door behind him.
the silence is oppressive. heavy. tingling. in front of him, mydei's running a hand through his hair, agitated. "why don't you just leave me alone?!"
"i just...
mydei shouts back, crimson and gold silk swishing behind him like a lure. "stop following me, hks!"
his voice is hoarse, rough with emotion. phainon doesn't listen, hot on his heels, barely managing to catch the door that mydei attempts to slam onto his face. "mydei, wait!"
