caged emotions

Chapter 7. body-art

Nobody knew how it happened but right now Geno and Rurik had a professional talk about cooking, cleaning and other stuff the others had no idea of.

"Hey Rurik. Are that tattoos?" interrupted Raven. Rurik snapped his head up just to look down on his now naked arms. Normally through his army uniform covered were thin lines on the white bones twirling around in a hypnotically manner. Thin lines just a little bit whiter than the pale bones underneath them. His whole body seemed to be covered in them except his slender fingers. Rurik stiffened and stood up. "Excuse me. I'm going to change clothes. I didn't realize I was still wearing this stuff." came the answer from Rurik and he stood up, going up a nearly hidden staircase.

"Now that was weird. Since when is anybody polite in this place? Now that I think about it he's always polite..." Reaper said. Everyone looked at Goth for answers. Goth looked at the ground, fiddling with his fingers. "It's his way of not opening up. He keeps people away, not showing any emotions or weaknesses. At the same time he doesn't make enemies who have a personal grudge against him. Why should anyone. He never sees anyone as a friend so it isn't a betrayal when he fights against them. Showing any personal reaktion means opening up. I came that far in getting him to open up and now my little brother needed to destroy all of my effort. Do you even have an idea how long it needed to let him to let me date him? Half a year." The last part came out as a snarl.

"What do you mean with 'let me date him'? I think you need to explain how you got together." Demanded Geno with an expressionless face.
