@tinyredlawyer - from THIS POST

In spite of Apollo's insistence that the coast is clear, Kristoph remains hypervigilant of the doorway. His fledgling apprentice still has yet to earn his complete trust as an accomplice, and his final remark sparks enough worry to stop mid-way as he prepares to hoist the body up to some piping on the ceiling with much more ease than his partner, suspended by the same cord that had been used to end his life just moments prior.

"What makes you ask that?"

Was anyone going to miss him? This lowlife scum? The thought had never even crossed his mind.

But clearly, it had been lingering on the conscience of his partner -- enough to voice those doubts out loud, to which Kristoph's expression twists with concern. Were they not righting a wrong in the world?

"You're not having second thoughts about this, are you?"

Well. Too little, too late. There's a footstool in the corner, which he uses to gauge the height at which to hoist the body up. It need only be raised just enough to make a hanging and subsequent strangulation look like the most logical possibility. Set the drop point any higher, and there'd be questions as to how this fellow didn't break his neck on the way down.

"You agreed; filth like him isn't fit to go on living."

Kristoph is careful to rest the toes of the deceased upon the stool, and then swiftly kicks it aside to properly set the scene. He watches the body sway, checking to see that the knots he'd tied were secure enough.

Satisfied, his attention returns to Apollo -- and to their eventual exit from the scene. Perhaps he could manage to contribute to that much.

"Well? Is the coast still clear?"

god can i just talk about this stupid man.

like he's so fucking self obsessed that he was driven to commit a whole series of murders because he thinks he only lost a game instead of the fact that he was rejected for being a deeply dishonest human being.

like he'd literally convince himself that he was fired for no good reason at all. it's not HIS fault, it's the fault of his stupid client who clearly doesn't know better.

it's perfectly rational to imagine that every human being has a couple of shortcomings, but kristoph gavin is a highly irrational man.

he aggressively denies that anything could be wrong with him and that's... an incredibly grandiose and egotistical way to view oneself, but i also suspect it's more rooted in the idea that he KNOWS his own character flaws full well and is too terrified to face them. he's actually so incredibly insecure and lacking that it's driving him to literal neuroticism and paranoia because he wants so badly to be everything he says he is.

he knows he'll never actually compare, and just spends his life trying to convince everyone into believing what he says he is. he's terrified that people will see the real him, and zak pretty much realized that fear when he rejected him.

what a sad way to live your life. i wonder what led him to become THAT insecure.

@tinyredlawyer - a continuation of THIS THREAD

"You were doing the right thing. How can I fault you for doing precisely what I taught you?"

Apollo might think him concussed -- as if being knocked around had turned him sentimental. But in the end, he had never meant for it to come to this. No student should ever have to shoulder the burden of their mentor's guilt.

And yet.

Kristoph spares a glance toward his unwanted guest -- and for the briefest moment, he might even appear mournful. Indeed, Gavin had never factored Apollo into his schemes, precisely because he had never intended to let him be involved. His relationship with Justice had come separate to all of that, and their once-friendship had fallen to the wayside as a result.

Bitterly, some part of Gavin was still proud of the way he'd flown the nest and carved out his own career. Even if Justice's unwavering sense of right and wrong had led Kristoph to his own downfall, his conviction to do right was solid and unshakable, and that made him a far better man than most.

Better than himself by miles.

"You can't fix every wrong in the world, try as you might. But I thank you for wanting to, either way -- though you shouldn't have to clean up my messes."

If there was any sort of evidence that Kristoph Gavin, convicted murderer, had done any sort of good in this world, it stood right before him at this very moment. Pathetically loyal, even in the face of his teacher's unspeakable evil.

He turns his face away and rests back into the pillow, preferring not to witness Apollo's reaction to the indignity of it all. It would be easier to continue to play the part of the villain, but he's only human.

"For what it's worth... I am sorry for how my actions continue to affect you. This isn't what I wanted for you."

MILES.​ :

     how…  how  is  he  supposed  to  feel?  or  rather,  what  should  the  conversation  supposed  be?  miles  had  cast  a  long  look  at  kristoph  over  the  top  of  the  car,  swallowing  before  finally  dipping  down  into  the  driver’s  seat.  it  doesn’t  feel  like  going  to  war,  it  feels  like…  defeat.  before,  he  could  feign-  but  now  what?  he’d  purposefully  sided  with  the  murderer.  he  feels-  sick,  not  relieved.  but  he’d  chosen  this.  he’d…  thought…  

     once  settled,  his  thumbs  move  over  the  leather  braid  on  the  inner  side  of  the  steering  wheel,  an  anxious  habit…  lord,  and  he’s  had plenty  of those  moments  in  this  car.  especially  recently-

@devildefense​

‘All’s well that ends well’ is what he’d like to say... Except that it’s not.  How could it when he’s been lying through his teeth the entire time? His clean, perfect image has been dragged right through the mud -- and come out of the other side mired with blood and filth.

If he could have managed to walk from this at all, Gavin had fully expected to do it alone. 

Instinctively, Kristoph reaches for his husband as he settles beside him, palm hovering over his thigh for a beat or two. He seems to think better of it at the last moment, setting it upon his own lap instead. Perhaps he’s asking for far too much. 

The silence between them is stifling and oppressive. Too much has come to light since they could last speak without a pair of eyes and ears upon them, and the atmosphere is too tense, too awkward. He turns his gaze out of the window and breaks the ice, not daring to look at him through the mirror. 

He cannot bear to witness the disappointment. Not when Miles knows what he is -- what he’s done. 

     “You did the right thing, you know.”

For me. For us.

          “It may well be out of anyone’s reach, but is it truly so TERRIBLE to want to            come as close to perfection as possible? It seems only natural to want to be           seen without fault, forever at our best. Anything less might be embarrassing.”

And if there’s one thing that Mr. Gavin loathes, it’s making a fool of himself.

Ace Detective he may be, but he’s certainly not an Ace Charmer.

Honestly, I don’t think any other reason would satisfy me at this point.
