My biggest regret over having black dogs is that I'm blind as a bat and they scare the living shit out of me every day because they just
Disappear
Because my house is dark as fuck
And the 3kg one is a funny scare because it's a big soot ball so it just hides in your shadow
But the 45kg ones are a heart attack that proceeds to tackle you when they hear you screech.
Then they lick your soul out of you because they're still babies
I'm 60kg I don't stand a chance

"You're so pretty."
Victoria's movements are soft, half formed, as though she'd not quite thought the action out before it started. She feels her ears heat up with embarrassment. It had been happening more often lately - moving before she can think clearly, as though dealing with two separate entities within herself, brain and heart. Perhaps Jennyanydots' amused diagnosis of "twitterpated" was not too far off the mark; there had certainly been enough reasoning to back it up.
Plato blinks, slow and confused, as though being pulled from a dream. And perhaps he was; he'd been staring at Victoria for the better part of an eternity, focused, but very clearly somewhere else. He did that sometimes - disappear somewhere she couldn't quite follow him, eyes hollow and dark. Victoria wishes she knew where he went; perhaps one day he'd tell her.
The staring, she couldn't fault, however; she'd been staring at him right back.
"What?" he asks, furrowing his brow.
"Pretty," Victoria signs again, submitting to having been caught, exaggerating the movement so he'd get it. Perhaps he'd been half paying attention, and only seen the tail end. "You're very pretty."
Plato wasn't much for laughing, Victoria had come to know - smiling, yes; Plato had developed such an easy smile over the year spent with them when they could coax it out of him. Laughing, on the other paw, not particularly, though he was never able to put quite into words why that was. Perhaps he was self conscious of the way it sounded; perhaps he hadn't much in regards to a sense of humour.
Be that as it may, for some reason, that affirmation plasters bewildered scrunches between his brows and his eyes practically disappear under his eyelashes. It even gets that odd, wheezing noise he'd make when particularly amused.
The queen could only be partially annoyed and a teeny bit embarassed - he was very handsome when he smiled, afterall, one fang hanging slightly lower than the other. An in consequential flaw that did nothing, Victoria thinks, flustered, than make him even prettier.
Victoria huffs. "What's funny?"
Plato tosses the motion back haphhazardly, as though brushing the thought aside. "You're funny."
"Not funny." Victoria frowns. "I'm serious."
Plato sobers immediately, smile gone as quickly as it came - it's like a candle being blown out; a night and day difference. The temperature in the clearing seems to cool as he continues to study her. There is an undeniable feeling creeping at the back of Victoria's neck that she may have mis-stepped somewhere, but all she'd said was...
She presses on, feeling an ache begin deep in her chest. She repeats herself, motions firm. "You're very pretty."
"I am not," he says after a long moment. There is an expression on his face that is difficult to read - he does not look embarrassed or pleased, even humbly so; he almost looks as though he is about to cry.
"Yes you ar-"
"You-" he points at her firmly, cutting her off, jaw set. The motion towards her is quick and harsh as a result, unsheathing his claws in the process. He startles as she does, horrified, staring at the space that has swelled between them; he is a breath away from scratching her.
"You," He points to her again after a moment, claw carefully pulled back this time. "Are very pretty. Not me. Look." He motions to the whole of himself, as though that were enough to dissuade her feelings. It only steels her resolve further.
"You look-" she insists, touching her paw pads to the delicate skin of his cheek to demonstrate. Plato flinches as though she'd hit him in retaliation; it looks to have been a struggle for him to resist moving away, but the desire is clearly there. There is fear burning in his eyes -anger and remorse and upset - like a bird trapped in a cage of teeth, waiting for its bones to snap in on themselves after the hunter had toyed with its prey.
Victoria pulls back, tangling her paws in her lap. The ache becomes a gnawing hurt. The fear in Plato's eyes burns hotter, guilt shining just beneath the surface.
"Please." Plato sets his jaw, and the fear fizzles slowly - forcibly - last of the flame suffocated. But he does not get near her again. He is gone to that place she cannot follow. "I cannot...do not lie to me."
"I am not lying," she manages, tears at the precipice of her eyelashes. The silence grows even heavier between them
"Then," he continues at last, breath hitching eyes wide and astonished, and Victoria feels ice settle at the base of her spine. After a moment, his expression dulls again. The smile on his face returns in a flash, a plaster over a wound, but it is bitter, cool. Empty. "You are being cruel? I did not think you had it in you."

OKAY SO I FAILED A ROLL IN MY FIRST PASS OF THE MIKE HANGOUT WHERE YOU ASK 'WHO'S DEBBIE' SO I DIDN'T KNOW THE WHOLE WHOLE STORY UNTIL LAST NIGHT BUT...

I AM JUST... DAMN. LIKE I KNEW SHE WAS IMPORTANT TO HIM (since she was the one who made - like legit sewed herself - that hat he always wears) BUT LIKE... OH MY GOD. SHE'S GONNA BE HIS CLOSURE I CAN TELL. HE HAS TO LEARN TO FORGIVE HER, BE HONEST WITH HIMSELF THAT HE STILL SORTA CARES IN SOME WAY ABOUT HER AND NEEDS TO MOVE ON. PRETTY DAMN SURE.

Oh my, radiostatic is all i have in my mind rn so this song is now a Vox and Alastor duet for me. It is so perfect.
Alastor: On the verge of no return, why'd you keep fucking it up?
Don't wanna have to bury you, but nothing seems to get through your skull
One day, the only butterflies left will be in your chest
As you march towards your death, breathing your last breath
I hate to say, "I told you so", but look how the bruises show
Vox: Tell me, how is it gonna feel without my arms wrapped around, wrapped around you?
Alastor: Bet it feels pretty real when your skin starts to peel from the bone
Vox: You were dead to the world, now I'm dead to you
Alastor: Haunting your own house, nothing to lose
Vox: How did I let you sink your fangs so deep?
Alastor: You know you can't breathe on your own
Vox: Past the point of rescuing, why'd I keep pushing my luck?
Alastor: The hole I wore into your soul has got too big to overlook
Vox&Alastor: One day, the only butterflies left will be in our chests
As we march towards our death, breathing our last breath
Vox: I thought we had a future, but we ain't got a chance in hell
Alastor: So tell me, how is it gonna feel without my arms wrapped around, wrapped around you?
Bet it feels pretty real when your skin starts to peel from the bone
Vox: You were dead to the world, now I'm dead to you
Alastor: Haunting your own house, nothing to lose
Vox: I let you sink your fangs so deep, ah
Alastor: You know you can't breathe on your own
How can you breathe on your own?
Vox: The sun is setting on our love, I fear
Letting our loneliness out into the atmosphere
The tides have turned in on our chance to turn it 'round
I never thought I'd see my fingernails fall out
Alastor: Love isn't in the air, love isn't in the air
Vox: Love isn't in the air, love isn't in the air
