❝ don’t try to hide your feelings from me. i know you. ❞

— Anti (👁)

Anti's voice startles Chase out of the trance that he's found himself in, having been staring blankly into the distance for several long minutes before the glitch had made itself known. He whips his head around to face him, fear flashing in his eyes momentarily before he squints at him, trying to ignore the way his heart pounds in his chest.

"Right. 'Cause you're in my head or whatever," Chase replies, doing his best to sound... well, not terrified, but the entity just seemed to invoke that kind of response in him.

Chase swallows thickly, then turns his head back around. He probably shouldn't turn his back to Anti. He doesn't trust it. He's got no idea what it could do to him.

"Get out of my head," he says after a moment, clearing his throat.

❛ you’re not getting rid of me that easily. ❜ — Anti & Gin (👁)

“that’s not fair!” gin’s forgotten he’s floating in midair when he tries to stomp his foot. he ends up spinning head over heels. a frustrated growl escapes. hands on hips! still staring back at the glitching figure, just upside down. “what are you?” they demand. some kind of incorporeal static thing! gin can touch him. they can grab him. but why can’t they do anything with him?

@cinematiicuniiverse continued from here.

Tragedy clings to him, inside and within the corners of his mind. His arc and entire existence are a tragedy, perhaps that’s why it’s so easy to spot, or why he’s drawn to what lies beneath another poor soul. To prey upon, to dig under the skin and learn more about it.

But Anti is so much more than that.

“Have you never looked at yourself before, and saw the tragedy held within you, or the tragedy you have inflicted onto others?”

And what hides under this being’s skin? The outer shell, nothing more than a stolen vessel. Flesh that belongs to another. How does it fit around the contours of your bones? Unfamiliar, before it is unwittingly yours.

“A mirror only shows what is skin deep, unfortunately. It can’t reveal much more than a reflection that might not even be yours.”

Why could this not be a mutual understanding? A beneficial meeting of minds?

“What lies beneath is far more intriguing.”

“no, i don’t hate you.” — Anti { misses his Hosty-O 🥺 }

The words surprise The Host, enough to cause him to pause his typing for several seconds. His narrations even pause momentarily, before they pick up along with his typing, whispered under his breath.

"...The Host was under that impression," he admits, adjusting his typewriter as it dings to let him know he's reached the end of one line.

@cinematiicuniiverse​ asked ;

“No— NO! You do NOT get to fuck with me like this—! Yeah okay, I get your anger, I GET why you’re the way you are but you DON’T get to push yourself onto me for your OWN amusement, I'm not your toy; I’m not yours OR Anti’s little plaything!”

Seán wasn’t an angry person and honestly? He HATED confrontation, he hated having to deal with the paranoia of Anti WATCHING him; he wasn’t going to let Dark crawl into his mind and make things WORSE.

❝ As you have every right to not to be . I never meant for this to come off that way . ❞

AN APOLOGY IF YOU WILL . Trying , anything really , to make someone else see that there was far worse as there was FAR GOOD . And now it has backfired . He pushed too hard ! Really , it was all his fault .

❝ I never liked being hung up on strings either , watched through a microscope . But I suppose years of it had made me do onto others . In which , I regret . ❞

HOWEVER , he will attempt this once again . GIVING AND TAKING FORGIVNESS AND A PITY OF BEING PREY ; for he knows it all to well . He was not going to allow Dark to slip by so easily as others did .

❝ Are you alright to continue another line of conversation ?  I will not be as mean as I was before , I promise . ❞

[ CHALLENGE ]:   in a motion designed to challenge the receiver’s authority, sender pins receiver against the wall. — Anti

IT HAPPENED SO QUICKLY, MARK hardly had time to think. He gasped — and then he was against the wall. Back slamming into metal (that hurt!) and then his skull. His ears were ringing, a leering smile inches away from his face. He swallowed hard. “What … What was that for?” His voice came out more like a limping half-whisper than the indignant shout he’d been aiming for.

[splitsuit-moved]

@cinematiicuniiverse​ asked ;

“why do you like to irritate me so?” — Anti.

prompt

❝ It was not my intention , you see . I do not like to do anything , it just happens . ❞

Flicking through pages , young adult drama and surprisingly dangerous tips for the best summer ever .

❝ I take it you did not like the story very much , perhaps this next one will be better suited for your taste . It is a test to see ‘If he is the right one for you’ , so answer truthfully . ❞

❝ You should know this better than most . ❞

DREAMS , sleep and the lack of it was a specialty in the glitch , or HAD given enough impression to make Dark believe that . While he was similar , working better with the world SLEEPING and CRAWLING in the minds of who fell for his charm and lies , even in their wake was there terrors chasing him .

ANTI WAS THAT TERROR , that monster to his own world . He was the star rather he knew it or not , or WANTED to be .

❝ You have your own philosophy as I do mine , and always will . ❞

@cinematiicuniiverse​ asked ;

Having an awful timekeeping and organization skills, it was no surprise that Anti had been the last person to see Dark. He had made an effort, the virus stretches out it’s arms to hand him a tattered and SHREDDED wrapped gift. “Happy late birthday to you~” It sung in various pitches; the little black box containing a small set of decorated red and blue cufflinks. He MIGHT care about Dark. Only a little—

Happy Birthday

Was there such a thing as tardy or early ? WHY NOT BOTH ? Time worked different in ALL corners of this world and no one was certain they had it right . But as a collective there are clocks and calendars that speaks a well enough truth , and for this SPECIAL day and the hours after belonged to Dark .

He did not mind the late after thought . These things take TIME , Anti would not be himself if his next move was ALWAYS a surprise . And as he was handed and gift , inspecting the outer paper of it .

❝ You really went to hell and back for this , I see . You never cease to surprise me . ❞

As he opened the paper more and found what had been hiding , for what they were , they were RATHER PRETTY . It was best not to ask how he managed to find something like this for it was the thought that counted . 

❝ Oh , oh Anti . Thank you . ❞

Before much more talking , he clipped them in and fixed his jacket around them . And along with ANOTHER YEAR OLDER , was another WISER . Was it the fact he had a good birthday that kept his mood in high spirits or that with age he did not care very much in making enemies out of ones that could be so much more .
