New Beginnings (LizardHat) Villainous

If you hate me so much

"If you hate me so much, why don't you just kick me out?"

An outburst from Demencia. Unexpected, yes. Black Hat scanned her silently, only pissing her off more.

"Say something!"

She never usually got this angry at him. What did he do wrong? Break her guitar? Last time he did that she only said it was an act of love from him. So what was so different this time?

"You are just so-- ugh!" She stomped her foot on the ground, her face petulant. It was like dealing with a teenager.

Black Hat was good at ignoring. And that's what he was doing now. He resumed his paperwork, looking it over for any mistakes.

"Wow, real mature!"

He seethed. What was her deal? She had marched right into his office and began to yell at him. The one day he forgets to lock the door. Black Hat inhaled sharply, then finally met her hardened stare.

"What."

"You trashed my den!"

"Your... den?" He repeated, confused.

Demencia sighed dramatically, throwing her hands up into the air. "You really don't know what I'm talking about? My blanket fort! You scorched the living hell out of it!"

Black Hat thought. Then kept thinking...

"Ah. That thing..." He mumbled while tapping his talons on the desk. They clicked in unison.

"That thing took days to make!"

"Dedication doesn't matter. That thing disgusted me."

"It was in my room! What were you doing in my room anyways?!" Her eyes lowered into slits.

Ah... that. He couldn't... he couldn't answer that. Not because he did not want to, just because he had no real reason. Black Hat loved exploring his own house... often that included going into different rooms. Even though he had seen it a trillion times before, the architecture fascinated him.

"There you go again!"

She was testing him. How dare she raise his voice at him and belittle him? He guessed he deserved it just a little, and that was an exaggeration.

"Why do you keep--" Demencia growled, grabbing her hair and pulling on it. What was her issue?

"Why do I even..." She sighed, yelled, then finally, stomped out of the room.

"I thought I'd have to kill myself..." Black Hat grumbled, putting away his work.
