Vendetta (boyxboy)

[14] Mess.

     Vladimir focused on the piece of crunchy, small cube of meat in his hand, his dark eyes following it as he threw it in the air. Leaning his body forward and parting his lips, he victoriously grinned as it landed in his mouth, after so many failed tryings. He chewed on it, not able to keep back the way his face crumpled at the weird, unexplainable taste.

     No, he wasn't too much of a fan of cat food, but it was something to crunch on, and the taste... well, it was plain odd. It surely didn't taste good, but there wasn't a specific thing to not like about it...

     From his spot in front of the building he and Vendetta lived in, he watched his cat, Jack, as it munched on the numerous cubes of meat on the ground, each one rubbing his lack of throwing-food-in-mouth skills all over his face. He was sitting on a bench, under the dull ray of a street light, in his villain glory. He wasn't planning on doing something evil or anything, he just simply didn't care if any citizen saw him. Besides, it was long past midnight, so the streets were more than empty. 

    Six days have passed since the whole scene with the chocolate box, and he regretted ever accepting Vendetta and Blaze's relationship in the first place... He, once again, found himself having to leave the apartment in order to give them some... privacy, he thought with a shudder. But he didn't really mind leaving that apartment from time to time as he quite enjoyed hanging out with his ever so loyal cat.

     Reaching his hand in the small bag of cat food, he took another cube and repeated the process of throwing it in the air and leaning, his lips parted and much to his joy it, too, landed in his mouth, making him grin at the way he quickly managed to progress. Well, not that quick, judging by the mess he left on the ground, but it was still progress...

     "Vladimir?! " he heard a voice and, much to his confusion, it didn't sound scared or hateful but surprised instead. Looking at what he considered to be a citizen, he eyed the man up, taking in his looks which much reminded him of the way he dressed up whenever he'd go in public when hiding his identity.

     The man was wearing a black beanie which unsuccessfully tried to hide his hair which was plain black, with a dirty blond strand on the side. His eyes were covered by big, dark shades, and the collar of his black coat was raised, hiding his mouth. He was taller than Vladimir and, judging by his firm shdeoulrs and the flat chest, he was more muscular as well. 

     "Random citizen..." Vlad replied, unsure.

     The man lowered his collar to reveal a strong jaw, outlined by a short and thin dark beard which also covered a small portion of his chin. Then he removed his sunglasses, his blue eyes glistening under the street light's gaze. Then, without hesitation, he walked to Vlad and sat next to him on the bench, extending his hand.

     "Name's Zero. Vendetta's older brother."

     "Whoooah. Are you shitting me?" Vlad asked dumbfounded, not believing what he saw. He recognized him, of course, Zero was the well known villain in Vladimir's old town, whom he much idolized while he lived there. It was kind of funny to think he left the town in order to become a villain, and ended up teaming with his idol's brother... 

     "I am not shitting you, that would be very much uncomfortable..." Zero laughed and gripped Vlad's hand the moment he held it out. "Vendetta told me about you, and I wanted to see how his new roommate is, to make sure my brother is in good hands. " he nodded, then broke the hand shake. "What are you doing out at this late hour anyway?" he asked curiously.

     "Well, Blaze decided to come over, and I'd rather not witness your brother being butt fucked, so here I am... again." he sighed, rolling his eyes.
