‘‘ ​ ... what's your deal with damien ? plannin' on stalkin' him for the rest of his life ? gettin' dirt on him so you can rat him out to the cops ? to use him for personal gain ? ’’ kayden's got hadley cornered against a brick wall, giving an intense stare that's void of any remorse. they're leaning uncomfortable close, both hands remaining in his jacket pockets. ‘‘ ​ don't think about givin' me that 'i love him' bullshit either, i'm not buyin' that for a second. you don't love him. ’’ ( from kayden !! )

@sacri1egious / Kayden .

back pressed against a cold wall, his eyes stare widely into Kayden’s . they’re far too close to his face, probably able to easily see the TEARS forming . Hadley’s main pitfall — physically insensitive to even the harshest of lashes . but emotionally ? he was HURT so easy, brought to tears with every little prick .

and what could hurt more than THIS ? being accused of working against the person he’d gained such a deep affection for, being told he DIDN’T LOVE DAMIEN . long moments pass, and tears have already streaked down Hadley’s pale cheeks .

❝ but, I — ❞ he squeaks, shrinking into himself and appearing that much more meek . he can take physical hits like no one else can, and he’s never been useless in a fight . but how was he supposed to counter an attack on his heart like this ?

❝ I would never do that to him . I don’t c - care what anyone offered, if someone wanted shit on him, I’d — I’d do EVERYTHING I could to keep that from happening . ❞ he had morals, but when it came to Damien, he’d let them fall away to make sure he’s SAFE .

❝ I do love him . I love him so much . s - so you’re just gonna have to fuckin’ live with it . I ain’t goin’ nowhere . ❞ and his brief boldness was replaced by a shuddering gasp and another timid look . ❝ … please . don’t — I love him . I love him … ❞

[avoidnll]

❝ you realize my job is ILLEGAL, right ?? ❞ he knows he did not just get compared to a cop . the pepper spray would have stung less .

❝ and … uh, well, I can’t say exactly, but … I mighta accidentally got caught up with a fella who isn’t … my NORMAL clientele . ❞

for the first time thus far he looks properly nervous, eyes following her as she moves .

❝ usually, I try to AVOID the crazies, but — anyway, i actually was hopin’ you’d catch me, cause now I have an EXCUSE to come back empty handed — would you be offended if I roughed myself up to sell it ? me backin’ out, that is . ❞ not that he usually backed down, but this circumstance was special .

❝ fuckin' seriously ? A PI ?! ❞ this was just getting worse and worse, wasn't it. SHE'S ALREADY PARANOID ENOUGH AS IT IS.

❝ you're just SLIMIER THAN A FRIGGIN' COP, aren'cha. ❞ she stands up, walks past him – hands in her pockets, in case she'd have to pull out the beforementioned spray and knife. ❝ you're wastin' MY FUCKING TIME. do you really expect me to chat it up with you so you can get your pocket full ?! ❞

❝ who even HIRED you ?! ❞

[avoidnll]

hands coming up defensively, a nervous smile catches on his face . ❝ whoa, now, madam, I don’t mean ya any HARM . ❞

smoothly, he reaches into a pocket and produces a business card, simple in design . it’s offered to her, scribbled with an abbreviation of his name, along with ‘ PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR ‘ and a phone number .

❝ this is how I make a LIVING, that’s all . I was hired, an’ I can’t exactly name names . but I WILL say that I haven’t gleamed much from ya . I don’t even know yer name, as it happens . ❞

❝ I do … apologize . I know that don’t mean nothin’ from me, but the last thing I want is anyone to end up hurt . ❞

@darkestaken / cont .

SHOOT . he knew he should’ve hopped onto the fire escape before this point . ❝ aren’t you SMART as all get out ? ❞

❝ I’m not at liberty ta explain — but I’m surely no stalker, madam . I do apologize for the tailin’, plumb IMPOLITE, that was . ❞

❝ Hadley Redmond . consider that piece’a information consolation fer the inconvenience . ❞ hopefully she’s not vengeful or something . giving out his name was definitely not smart in his line of work . but he was nothing if not a RISK TAKER .

@sacri1egious / starter call .

his heart is thrumming in his ears, so loud it drowns out everything else . a constant CHANT for the one in front of him . Damien . Damien .

❝ you … you know that I’m in love with you, right ? ❞ what was he saying ? he didn’t know . it was TRUE .

[avoidnll]

// sorry for the delay on starters and such, have this hadleycore image as consolation

@hivemuse / tim : starter call .

❝ AHH - !! wha — LAND SAKES, Robbie, someone should put’a BELL on you !! ❞

startled, hadley held up his hands defensively, and rightfully so, as he was DEFINITELY not supposed to be here .

❝ I know this LOOKS BAD, but — I ain’t snoopin’ on ya for anybody, I swear ! I was just … curious ! ❞ he’s telling the truth, but the massive amount of nerves he’s experiencing makes it hard to tell.

❝ I was born at night, but not LAST NIGHT . ❞

he sits next to them . ❝ I know how easy it is to accidentally hurt yer own body cause’a not takin’ CARE of it . now, I ain’t tryin’ to pry, but is there somethin’ I can fetch ya while ya take your sand nap ? ❞

“…”

they sit up. Their bones creak as they do. They’ve got sand in their hair, and on their clothes.

They understood maybe thirty percent of those words. Ree exhales slowly.

“I’m fine.”

(It hurts)

// you’ve heard of incomprehensible British now get ready for incomprehensible southern

[avoidnll]

he blinks, still looking at them with what vaguely looks like concern . ❝ I don’t mean ta interrupt if you’re fixin’ to spend the rest of your day inhalin’ dust … ❞

his accent is approaching indecipherable . ❝ but I wanted to make sure ya weren’t climbin’ the golden staircase, if ya know what I MEAN . what’s got ya so downtrodden ? ❞

who the fuck is this clown…

Ree glares up at the stranger, looking as annoyed as somebody can.

“what do you want.”

[avoidnll]

leans over them . stares .

❝ you’re not DEAD, are ya ? blink twice if you’re dead . ❞

they’ve been laying facedown on the floor for a while.

seems like somebody’s been pushing their body too hard and it’s coming to bite them in the ass.

take pity on them …

" i don't mean any disrespect to you, but what the hell does a cattywampus mean ?? " she's completely boggled, trying to wrap her head around it. catty wampus. whomp whomp ??
