❝ i don't believe, miss somsri, ❞ the left corner of his lips tugs upward in a show of smirk, voice lowering to resemble a purr, ❝ i know. ❞ his belief may not have scientific proof to back it up, but twenty-five years ( give or take a few months ) of experience affirming the truth of it must lend some credence to it, does it not? not that aras has long to ponder the issue, for somsri continues speaking; and my oh my, what she is saying certainly sounds worthy of his interest. ❝ did you have something specific in mind? ❞ he leans forward in his seat, his attention fully devoted to her now. ❝ because i do love a good challenge. ❞ ever the dauntless boy, he is. ❝ but it is a non-legal challenge, yes? ❞ aras leans back again casually, though the focus of his gaze is no less intense than it was mere seconds ago. ❝ i would hate for a promising lawyer such as yourself to get in professional trouble because of, say, frivolous litigation or malicious prosecution. ❞
such confidence was common amongst the underworld of verona, yet the onyx haired woman could not understand how they all seemed to think they were invincible. how many times had she not seen their minions fall in court ? for having or portraying the exact same confidence as their bosses ? with a tilt of her head, the vixen questions the young demirci with her eyes. " so you believe in any situation you can smooth talk your way out ? would you like to test that theory sometime Mr. demirci ? for I would love to watch such a spectacle unfold. " she would, there is no denying that. for no matter the blood upon their hands, the steel in their pockets or bullets in their guns ⸻ pride would be their downfall, all of them.

it is not that he does not hear kayra's demanding tone ringing through the halls of the demirci house. unfortunately, aras very much does; it is just that he actively chooses to ignore it for now. when was the last time he had heard her voice rise in an airy pitch of a question? no instance comes forward as he quickly goes through his memories of previous visits home, of phone calls, of childhood. it has always been a demand after another; and suddenly he recalls one of the reasons he had oh so unfortunately neglected visiting his blood relatives before his return.
but today, if only to prevent that nagging sound from ruining his day, aras acquiesces. he shoves his phone into his back pocket and, with careless elegance, places one hand on the door. a minute passes still ( let your entrances be extravagant, especially if you are late, someone whispered to him once ), before he finally pushes it open. ❝ here i am, dear abla. ❞ aras announces, voice dripping casual vainglory befitting someone of his status. practiced ease guides his movements as he steps in the hall, leaning against the wall. ❝ how can i be of service today, sister? ❞ another pause, before a dramatic sigh slips past his lips. ❝ if it's something kemal wants me to do, please lie and say you just missed your baby brother. ❞
location: demirci estate stauts: closed ( @ademirci )
Kayra could hear her heels clicking across the floor of her parents home as she made her way towards where she always found her younger brother. Him being back wasn't complicated but it did put a thorn in her side sometimes. She was his older sister, she had a responsibility for him... Or something like that.
She sighed. "Aras." she called out loudly towards him. "I need to speak with you." The brunette said as she flipped her hair quickly. It hadn't settled yet from the curling iron. She was planning on going out with some friends but her brother was the first priority.
"I know you're probably extremely busy doing god knows what but this is important." She explained as she crossed her arms and waited for him to appear.

“he is dangerous not because his teeth are made of daggers and his eyes are made of sniper scopes and his bones are made of rifle barrels. he is dangerous not because his steps leave land mines in the earth and his voice fractures like bursting grenades and his tongue dances with cyanide foam no, he is dangerous because he shines like a galaxy lost in space and he burns like a thousand dying stars and he reels you in as effortless as gravity no, he is dangerous because you will walk into the black hole at his heart with gratitude singing soft on your lips and hands clasped close in holy prayer”

so self-deception is the name of franco's game these days. it is such a dull game to partake in, at least for boys like him who had mastered the delicate art of appearing like an open book upon first glance. where is the fun in voluntarily trapping one's self within a cage, no matter how gilded, and throwing away the key? what is the point of that when the foolish charade is painfully visible to everyone else? aras does not understand, but then again, it is not his business to convince franco to change his mind. he has chosen this path of false belief of his own volition; it is not a demirci's job to guide a moretti away from their poor choices. and so, he does not bother with a verbal reply to franco's first words. he only allows the corners of his lips to tick upward, tilting his head in amusement.
but then franco tacks on the rest of what he intends to say, and for all he perpetuates an image of an unfazeable cool guy, a flash of unexpected bewilderment crosses aras' features. on the list of twists and turns he had expected to face during this encounter, honesty had failed to make the cut. there is a sharpness to his eyes now; they keenly seek any hint that this is a game of some sort; a cunning move preplanned to shake the foundations of his being. for that has to be it; why else would a moretti be genuinely honest with a demirci? it has to be a game. it has to be. has to.
a minute or so passes in silence; an answer does not reveal itself to the demirci scion. oh well, aras thinks. it is up to him, then, to decide how to proceed. a game. yes. even without a proof, it is easier to consider this a game, so he can play along without having to consider the deep implications of it all. ❝ no, i don't revel in it. ❞ he answers, tone flippant. ❝ you know why that is? ❞ while he speaks, his hand sneaks out, his fingers casually touching the lapel of franco's jacket. then, before giving the other time to process his brazen action, with the lapel held tightly within, his hands becomes a fist and he tugs franco closer. there are precious few centimeters separating their faces now; aras cannot help but smile. ❝ i don't think about you enough to rejoice because of your misery, ❞ then, only to add insult to injury, ❝ baby. ❞ he chuckles then, the sound surprisingly soft and cruelly mean at the same time. ❝ do you think about me often then? or have you just become a very bold boy? ❞
had he always been like this ? so dramatic and centered to irritate ? in truth he had, he couldn't deny that. even when they were younger the demirci had been ahead, he had always been next to him, watching as he made decisions and calls. had he enjoyed his seat next to areas? yes, but he would never tell him that, his ego would inflate too much at the rivalry between them would for sure be heightened. it would be a lie to say he didn't miss aras, he did ⸻ after all they had once been inseparable like their parents, enjoying dinners together, talking amongst themselves and having small secrets which no one else knew. however, that was a past life, one filled with sunshine and colors while their reality was now clouded and colorless. " I do not want your attention. " he murmurs and drinks from his coffee cup, sapphire orbs turning to look outside wondering how long he would need to suffer throughout his company. " do you revel in this aras ? is it empowering to watch me alone while you thrive amongst the masses ? " it was pure and the truth, no lie concealed in his confession. for he thrived amongst the people, while he hid away. if their roles had been reserved even, he knew aras would still come out on top, for even if the had once been closer than most, they were completely opposites too.

there is a sensation rearing its head somewhere within the dark crevices behind his ribcage. it is an unfamiliar one; he cannot identify it nor can he recall the last time he experienced it. as a consequence, some of his trademark joviality diminishes. his mouth becomes a straight line; his gaze intensifies as aras cants his head, searching for an answer from the features of the third moretti child. unconsciously, he even shifts forward in his seat, as if that will bring him any closer to an explanation he seeks.
then franco continues speaking and, all at once, it hits him. pity. the sensation that he feels toward the other is pity. no wonder the realization took its sweet time to hit him; considering how much he lives in the present moment, unbothered by the negativities around him, it cannot be said he often feels pity toward someone. he leans back in his chair, the focus of hazel eyes now renewed with curious interest. does this resemble observing a snake after it has been defanged? trying its bad to strike, only for his efforts to be in vain.
what a terribly miserable existence.
❝ you are the one who first spoke to me. ❞ aras reminds, not exactly meanly, but certainly not kindly either. there is another beat or two of silence ( for the dramatic effect; he is a dramatic boy, after all ), until he schools his expression into that of faux shock. ❝ heaven forbid, moretti, don't tell me you missed me! ❞ right afterwards, his expression relaxes, but his eyebrow raises like a silent challenge. ❝ well, franco, you have my attention. now revel in it. ❞
when was the last time he had looked upon aras demirci as a friend ? even his closest one at that. his childhood was filled with moments where he and aras had been as close as friends can be, and look at them now, children of forsaken men where one stabbed the other, tearing them apart with nothing to repair what had been destroyed not by them, but by the men who created them. " stop flattering yourself. " the words come out harsh, venomous even and it takes even him by surprise. does he truly hate aras ? when did that begin ? was it when he abandoned him when they were children, did not listen to his words of pleading and apologies for actions he did not commit ? to this day he does not understand his own fathers actions, then again when did he ever understand that man ? he was stoic, distant ⸻ as if he was just a figure but not the one who fostered him into life.
" sit somewhere else aras, i do not intend to argue nor discuss with you. " the mask is once more in place, the blonde son of a murderer who did not wish this at all.

it almost makes a startling sight — the stillness with which aras holds himself, his exuberant aura deliberately dimmed. even his usually vivacious smile has a tempered quality to it, all to allow u-jin to finish the seemingly endless phone call without distractions. it is not often demircis grant such respect to anyone. this time, though, aras will make an exception to the rule. even if it is only fueled by the promise of being allowed to let out the excitement bubbling beneath the surface sooner rather than later.
when the call finally ends & u-jin gives that compliment, the mask's death is instantaneous. a wide smile creeps up on his lips as he bends over, hand thrown to his side in a grandiose gesture, highlighting the purposeful ridiculousness of his bow. ❝ a saviour, at your service. ❞ aras chuckles at his little lie as he stands up again. ❝ no thanks, because i have something even better in mind. ❞ a dramatic pause — an effect mildly tamed by his inability to hold back his excitement. ❝ were my little birds correct in telling me you've lived in london? ❞

nestled away in the corner of verona. ivy growth crept up the exterior, sadly the flowers weren't in bloom yet. usually, a lovely pop of colour to look at whilst one has their morning coffee. upon mornings he had business in seoul or busan to attend to by phone calls, sometimes even facetime if need be, he can be found here. on a table under the veranda, large latte with an extra shot of coffee ( making it about five shots altogether ), and mini sketchbook always within his reach.
a slender pointer finger kept his phone to his ear, fingertips barely resting on the side of the phone, long and distant glazed over his eyes. the call had been going for a little more then an hour, heat radiated from his phone making him that much antsy to end the call but there was no polite way of excusing himself. until an opportunity arose. ❝ 감사합니다. 예. 좀 더 얘기해야 하는데 나 지금 가봐야 해. ❞ beckoning for the nearby person who caught his attention to come over, before continuing on. ❝ 안녕히 가세요 친구 ❞ finally being able to finish the conversation that took for too long.
with his glass halfway to his lips, it didn't take long for him to sip of the latte, replenishing him. ❝ you saved me from my ear burning off. ❞ he said across the table, noticing the morning rush had settled in and all the tables around them looked occupied from the quick scan he just did. ❝ join me ? my way of saying thank you. ❞ he gave an easy smile, one that could melt butter. lightly kicking out the chair across from him, politely so gesturing for them to sit down.

the pair of hazel eyes scan the floral displays around them with seeming disinterest — regal apathy suited for young princes such as him. ❝ roses. ❞ aras finally breaks the silence. ❝ always roses. ❞ they may not be the most original choice ( he would know, courtesy of his league of admirers throughout the years ), but they are a timeless classic for a reason. his feet lead him forward, hand gently brushing over all the rose variants, their bright colors blooming in technicolor.
❝ is there a further message you want to send, though? ❞ whether the woman is interested in additional small talk makes no difference; aras is in the mood for a little lighthearted socializing. ❝ because it's imperative you pick the right color if you want to be taken seriously. ❞

‘ i think i’m gonna take these ’ she says as she analyzes once more the bouquet of lilies she’s holding.
flowers — or plants in general — are one thing giulietta’s not really good at. it’s probably that they’re able to perceive her true aura and that’s why they die the second they cross the door to her apartment, but she’s resilient to make them work and stay alive for once, no matter how long it takes her.
‘ what do you think? ’ she asks the other person at the flower shop, showing them the bouquet even though she's not truly interested in their opinion — she's just trying to make her presence known. ‘ are they as pretty as me or should i get another type? ’

he has always had a flair for dramatics. it is a delightful dance people should find irritating, but how many times has he been treated to a sight of a reluctant, charmed smile tugging the corner of their lips upwards? too many to count, over the years. the lawyer's audacious, yet playful, accusations provide another opportunity for a show of theatrics — and aras is not one to deny himself such a simple pleasure. ❝ perché mai! ❞ he presses a hand over his heart, draws in a sharp breath of shock. ❝ i'll have you know i've never been arrested nor have i been in handcuffs. ❞ well, not in this sense, at least. ❝ besides, ❞ aras continues, his hand dropping back to his side, ❝ i can guarantee that, should an unfortunate event such as that transpire, i could talk myself out of it before i even step a foot inside the station. ❞

picking up papers for one of her cases was a weekly ordeal for the lawyer. she did not like it when others touched her papers before receiving them, so retrieving them herself was the safest bet. however, on her way out one of the demirci children also seems to walk out of the door. " are my is deceiving me ? it is not often one meets a demirci walking out of this place without chains to their hands. " onyx hair flies with the wind, saccharine smile upon lips. " did you behave so they let you out early ? " always a tease, never afraid of the consequences.

the hint of irritation lingers in the air, and aras notices. it is a small miracle, to be handed such a convenient piece of ammunition on a silver platter, a fact made more inexplicable by the fact that it was given by one against whom it can be used. nevertheless, it is a gift aras will not let go to waste. ❝ aren't you a darling, ❞ he responds cheekily, mirth sparkling in his eyes as he turns to face the moretti scion, ❝ keeping up with my schedule so i don't have to. ❞
without another word, and most certainly without an invitation, aras moves until he plops himself down in the chair opposite of franco. what a pair the two of them made; an effervescent dark prince, and a golden one chipped from ice. almost a shame there would never be common ground between them in this bloodied kingdom.
❝ would you be so kind and remind me of my usual order? ❞ aras quips, a chuckle slipping past his lips. ❝ surely you know it too, since you know me so well. ❞

perhaps it's the fact that he shows up from nowhere that triggers a certain reaction from the blonde. had they not decided to avoid each other ? of course, not by words by just glancing at one another. today he'd wanted to get a cup of coffee, perhaps try to forget the predicament his father had placed upon him and his family. peace of mind was perhaps the last thing aras demirci would grant him. " I thought Mondays weren't your day for coffee. " his voice carries to the door he occupies and thankfully, chianti didn't allow anyone to fight in its vicinity ⸻ otherwise perhaps the two would run at each others throat, just like their parents.

BIOGRAPHY.
( tw: parental death, murder )
It's not often something bright is birthed within the confines of darkness as encompassing as the underworld of Verona, but from the moment he drew his first breath, Aras Demirci appeared to have different plans. Whereas the rest of his family bloodied their hands with ugly business behind closed doors, Aras drew people in with his natural magnetism. Given that he was the third child, he had fewer obligations within the mafia business and thus, had more time to mingle with people. It was no wonder Verona soon found itself enamored by the young prince — his boyish charm, his ability to smile just the right way to make you forget every naughty deed of his, his skill to make anyone feel included in his circle regardless of your background. In return, Aras reciprocated Veroneses' affection with the same kind of adoration. Life was perfect — until it wasn't.
Aras' carefree and beautiful life came to an abrupt end in 2011 when his father was discovered dead in the grim alley, a fate brought forward by his dearest friend. Everything was in sudden uproar; chaos and grief reigned over their family and the city; a need for blood and vengeance took root in the hearts of his relatives. But the young prince himself, he just felt hollow. It was hard to comprehend all of it, especially when his world previously had been as untouched by the ugly side of it as it could have. Furthermore, the pitying looks from people without anyone really asking how he felt about it all soon became unbearable.
To cope with the weight of it all, in addition to placing flowers on his father's grave, Aras buried a part of him that had exuded genuine joy. His mates at school saw little to no change in his demeanor; he was still the same charming boy, laughing and grinning, with a mischievous spark in his eyes. However, the air of genuine sincerity had vanished from his actions. Aras would seek people out and beguile them, only to drop them a moment later with no remorse as soon as his interest in them had waned. It was better this way, wasn't it? No one could crack a hardened heart, after all.
In the following years, he maintained a polite distance from Demirci family's activities and, purposefully, withdrew from his family members as well. And when the chance to brush off the dust of Verona's crimson streets came, Aras seized it without hesitation. London became his new home; and to describe those years as eye-opening and transformative would be an understatement of the century. No one knew him or his baggage here; he could just be and breathe. It was an exhilarating thing to realize, and Aras soon made the most of it. Indulged in lovers, made friends, explored the country and the world, proved to be a surprisingly gifted academic as well. His visits to Italy became less and less frequent, until they ceased entirely at the beginning of his master's degree studies in September '23. It was as if old self had slowly begun to return, for life was perfect. Until it wasn't.
In early autumn of 2024, Aras received unwelcome news from Verona — now would be the time to take the next step in their vendetta against the Moretti family. No doubt things would get messy and, given his experience in the field of communications and his natural charm, his assistance would be required to turn the tide of the war in Demircis' favor. For the briefest moments, he considered ignoring the command or fleeing. But as seeing that would've caused unnecessary meddling from the parts of his family, he decided against it and, reluctantly, returned to Verona's cobble streets. It's not his intention to stay any longer than absolutely necessary; he'll manipulate the masses to gain their support for his family and hopefully see someone pay for his father's murder. But once that's done? He'll drop this damned city like he's dropped anyone fooled by his amiable exterior and honeyed words.
