Dmitri goes through flings like a chain smoker goes through cigarettes. And they usually end up heartbroken. Most people are charmed by him, but he’s very good at that game.
…I, uh, don’t have a lot of friends. But the ones I do have hate his guts, too!
Like I said, he’s a rich kid who’s used to getting his way. I don’t know how far things have gone between them, but if Dmitri made a move and Viktor turned him down, I can’t say I’d be surprised if he refused to take no for an answer.
And it’s not just him. His family has a pretty shady reputation, and this wouldn’t be the first time one of them got caught up in something underhanded.
@mor__arch I tried… He wouldn’t even look at me when I went to pick him up for Paraphysics. So I came clean about what I think of Dmitri, and he just rolled his eyes.
@para_Dmitri@para_Viktor {Jayce fixes Dmitri with a long, hard stare. He still can’t shake the feeling that he had something to do with Viktor getting hurt. Eventually, though, he lets out a sharp snort.}
…Fair enough.
{He turns and guides Viktor down the hall.}
@para_Viktor@para_Dmitri …Yeah, okay, honey.
{Jayce crouches down and helps him to his feet, keeping a secure arm around his waist in case his legs give way.}
@para_Dmitri@para_Viktor Well, one of us has thighs, so clearly I know what I’m—wait, hang on.
{Jayce pushes himself to his feet and marches over to Dmitri, jabbing a finger into his chest.}
What the hell did you give him?!
Where’s he going now? I—oh, shit, he looks so pale. And he’s walking funny. Where’s he…? I think he’s going to the bathroom. He looked fine until—
…until he drank the tea. Oh, fuck. Fuck, I knew it! I knew that fucking—
Dmitri’s getting up. He’s going after him now. I have to do something. I have to—
I climbed a tree to look through the window. They’re having tea in one of the 300 rooms. I hope Viktor had the sense to watch him make it in case he put anything in his cup.
I don’t like the way he looks at him. Every time Viktor looks away, he’s staring like he’s waiting for the chance to sink his teeth into his neck.
That’s mine.
