Sometimes you have to kill what you love

[wickianaa]

DO NOT RELBOG.

              He had thought he could have gotten used to being greeted with silence when he opened the door  ( and maybe he had, for a time )  , but the soft padding he hears over tile is a welcome noise.  ( The house feels a little less empty. )  The gray pitbull sniffs at John’s shoes, wondering where he’s been, and John leans down to run his palm along the top of the dog’s head, muttering some sort of  ‘ hey, there ’  .

              As he walks past, the dog  ( as yet unnamed – for now )  follows at his owner’s heels. John sets plastic shopping bags on the kitchen counter. Reaching inside, he pulls out two collars, different colors – black or purple. He squats down to the dog’s level –  “ Alright – ”  – balancing on the balls of his feet, and holds them out.  “ Which one d’you like? ”  He watches in light amusement as the dog sniffs both but presses his nose against the black one, and nips at it, thinking it’s a toy  ( and he has plenty of those now too )  . John chuckles,  “ Black it is. ”  So he puts the second back on the counter and rips the tag from the collar.  “ C’mere, ”  he murmurs, patting the pitbull’s neck before he clips the collar around, rotating and adjusting it.

              The dog looks up at John with those wide, sad eyes  ( the same ones from behind that kennel door )  and sniffs towards John’s face.  “ How’s that? ”  he asks, letting himself smile.  “ Not too tight? ”  He scratches behind the dog’s ear and the dog steps forward, reaching his muzzle up to lick John’s face, unsuccessfully. And so John laughs and pats the dog’s back.  “ Good boy. ”

Hey

[wickianaa]

❛   tap .   tap  my  muse  on  the  shoulder  to  garner  their  attention . welcome to the ledger, mr. wick, bet you didn't expect one of your former students to be working in the underworld post-grad

              Bittersweet, to be reminded of things lost, things seemingly out of reach from his fingers in this moment.  ( Who knew the worst pain would come after lying down the weapons? )   Even more so here, the den of thieves he’s known so well. It’s second nature all the things that gather around him -- smoke, secrecy, the unspoken rivalries. People might say he missed it, this piece of him he left behind, but it simply all came naturally to him  ( the truth ... nostalgia and instinct are separate )  . 

              Two fingers prod the back of his shoulder amidst a decent crowd of patrons, all his former ilk. He knows it could be any number of faces when he turns -- those wishing to ask questions, welcome him home, send their condolences. But he turns and this is something much different : a piece of that other side, that ideal life, staring right back at him. 

              Something within him is hard pressed to say he’s surprised to see her  ( maybe he could have guessed, in another time )  . Brows lift, however softly, at the sight of her. His name had it come from anyone else in the room would feel so formal ; from her, it’s nothing  ( no matter how many times he told her, and the others, they could call him  ‘ John ’  )  . 

              “ Jordan. ”  His voice is as friendly as it was back then. John is different in this space, his shoulders more squared, mind more alert -- but recognizable. He smiles lightly, vaguely, and nods at her with an amicable gaze.  “ Congratulations, then -- on your degree. ”

i’ve decided that the reason miss perkins and john aren’t on the best of terms is that they both worked for the tarasovs at one point, before viggo decided to just take on one of them for exclusivity. john was asked and perkins was pissed about it. hence why she was so comfortable with breaking the rules to kill john.
