#just the two of them toying w eo. playing cat and mouse

[ventigh]

-> ingo as a dark and brooding detective ft. emmet as that deceptively pure-looking femme fatale. yep yepp

And now I can't help but think of a New York/Chicago, or better yet: Unova; during the 1940s and 1950s, controlled by gangsters and where crime ran rampant and no one was safe. A bit noir, one might say.

And in the dark night, you see Ingo strolling through the empty alleyways lit intermittently by the street lamps, with his hat pulled down over his face and his long coat billowing behind him as he walked through the city fumes.

And illuminated by the faint light of a bedside lamp Emmet, sitting at a window, with a provocative dress on, smoked a cigarette with a cigarette holder while waiting for his beloved

Meanwhile the whole city is sinking more and more into an abyss made of sex, crime and alcohol and from which Ghecsis controlled everything with an iron fist

And the two of them, in black and white, who lived lives on the edge between right and wrong, legal and illegal and so much more… they find themselves entangled in each other's lives at the hands of fate

But with all the mysteries that lurk around the city, the biggest of all, and important to them, is the one about their shared past that they don't remember

oh my god anon,, exactly!! jesus christ this is stunning!! ;w; def talking abt it more under the cut!

what a vision! those darker, smoggier days of unova, yet untouched by its potential for bright lights, entertainment, and innovation-- as if it doesn't mean the city's any less bustling of course, crawling w all sorts of ppl, especially the wrong types

their frickin outfits too!! anon is a genius,, letting emmet wear a provactive little thing that shows aaaall his best parts, skin in places to make u salivate, onlyy hidden by a suspiciously similar coat in a different color that our dashing hero wears ଘ(⁠≧ᴗ≦⁠)ଓ* ੈ✩‧₊˚

but imagine their dynamics most of all--

a more unforgiving yet thoughtful ingo with a passion and *cough* ideals bright enough to burn unova's scum to the ground,, too curious n romantic for his own good. hess got that charisma,, but unfortunately also that damned loyalty to his highest beliefs-- as all heroes r

and a hardened, more cunning emmet who's seen far too many truths to be as clean as the white he likes to wear to lower people's guards.

but ingo's out there waking and pulling at emotions emmet's thought long gone,, making him hope n love n noble n a needy mess at times, u know it!! emmet cant help visiting that one irresistible p.i, w his charrrming frown n the softest eyes emmets ever seen directed at him. even when ingo's most infuriated. haunting him even when he's elsewhere. such good feelings that should just stop :'33

and if he happens to drop a few names,, clues on the way. ppl and places. little tidbits abt this and that wrapped in a sarcastically candid tongue, disguised as banter wo a hint of concern. well, who knows, he might be luring ingo into a trap after all. yepp,, thats all there is,,,

in fact,, he's proud to say he's even learning to shut up more and more now. see? all it takes is time to control himselfff,,, hes now been witholding more information. ghetsis' dangerous plans catching in his throat as he looks at his lover n thinks of those victims of crime. ideals lost and trampled by the darkest of the city.

yepp,,

u see?

a noir romance indeed! :'D
