₍     @bindedcurse        ₎  ˖⠀ ݁        its difficult to do that when its starting to involve me.

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @bldshots ꓹ⠀⠀"  .. mind your business.  "

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @bldshots ꓹ⠀⠀"  did that startle you?  i apologize.  "

/               heh…. i’m insane like that..

/        thats ok.. i mean who said that..!

@bindedcurse     Oh I wouldn’t know.  I’m just trying to start something!

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @6theyes ꓹ⠀⠀"  and what has made you come to that conclusion?  "

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @cursebets ꓹ⠀⠀"  i suppose it's only fair for you to match my style.  " ⠀regarded kiryuin.  he certainly looked proud,  as if the latter didn't just use（his）money for the expenses of such an elegant garment  ..  not that it mattered albeit.

〝  i have to look good for our patrons after all.  what assistant would i be if i didn't look the part﹖ ＂ he commented as his gloved hands were rested upon his hips,  a confident smile appearing on features〝  plus,  i'd never think of being seen not dressed in such lavish attire all the time ＂

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @cursedbets ꓹ⠀⠀some kind of  ‘surprise’  this was⸺he'd thought it was so urgent but..⠀ "  it certainly compliments our palette,  " ⠀ discerning the attire,  a hum is heard.  likely pleased despite the stoicism.⠀ "  suits you in all the right places.  "

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @cursebets ꓹ⠀⠀"  ah,  you insist on speaking?  " ⠀reluctance lingers（...）undoubtedly tied to the constraints of their contract holding him back.   ‘if only it didn’t exist,’  he thinks bitterly⸺without it,  he might have unleashed far worse.   with visible frustration,  grip slackens,  only to shift into a firm hold against the latter’s cheeks.   his fingers press harshly into the skin,  tilting the cursed one’s face upward,  forcing their eyes to meet his, unyielding,  so..  intense.⠀ "  you must've forgotten,  hm?  must i remind you that you serve me?  your recklessness will reflect to me.  "

a dull pain spread throughout the curse's head at it hitting against the wooden table,  but his crazed smile still remained as he laughed〝  if anything,  you're the fool for thinking you can attack me so carelessly~  look at you,  you'll choke yourself to death at this rate﹗ ＂
            
            ২ ✶  hehe :3c

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @cursebets ꓹ⠀⠀"  i frankly don't care.  " ⠀he hurled the blond man against the wooden table,  the dull thud of the collision ringing out whilst an unforgiving hand clamped tightly around the other's throat⸺his lividity palpable and unrelenting.⠀ "  are you a fool?  "⠀ a slight wince,  he clenched his teeth.
            
            ∗     o-oh dear!

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @cursebets ꓹ⠀（..?）an inquisitive look,  idly shaking his head⸺ he then turns his back from the blond. ⠀"  no,  that's different.  " ⠀the answer laced a hum. ⠀"  my hair.  unbraid them,  then brush it for me.  "

the curse,  ever so curious as he was,  walked over to the other at his inviting gesture〝  is it yet another one of your 'special plans' like last time﹖ ＂ questioned the blond once he was close with a smile

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @cursebets ꓹ⠀⠀"  why don't you come here?  i'll show you.  " ⠀ a come⸺hither motion of his digit,  he invites.

@bindedcurse         ＊     Ah,  do you prefer coffee instead?    (Caught by a bit of surprise,  his eyes widen.  Perhaps even a bit embarrassed?)    I’m sorry,  that wasn’t meant to sound like a demand.

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @arekulikesmen ꓹ⠀⠀"  ... oh,  tea?  " ⠀he turned,  those simmering thoughts had been disrupted（thankfully）otherwise it could be troublesome. ⠀"  certainly.  what kind of tea would you like?  "

@bindedcurse       (    ♱    )      (Helia swallows thickly.  There’s a certain thick tension that he can’t exactly cut with a brush,  but he tries to salvage what’s left of their conversation.  Although his face devoid of much emotion,  most likely wasn’t helping his case either.)    Thank you,    (Throat dry,  he began.)    Do you have tea?  I’m rather thirsty.

@bindedcurse         ＊     It’s surprising how status changes a lot between people.    (Eyes lift finally,  gaining to courage to meet such an unwavering gaze.  The confidence that the other wears is unlike his own,)    You praise me too much.  It’s you who deserves it more than I do,  I just hope to express it better.

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @arekulikesmen ꓹ⠀⠀"  no matter how different  ..  i don't think that would change anything.  " ⠀one's erubescence is observed   the same hue that blossoms,  he does not point it out regardless of how ingratiatingly cute it appears. ⠀"  i'm glad you do.  you deserve more.  "

@bindedcurse       (    ♱    )      You can understand,  hopefully.  We’re rather different,  you and I.    (A hand brushes over his mouth,  as if to hide how he clearly felt from the red—head.)    Although the attention doesn’t go unnoticed.  I do appreciate it,    (Cheeks flush,  clearing his throat.  For once,  such a cold exterior melts.)    and I like it.

@bindedcurse         ＊     (Had he been too honest?  Whether it was shame or the fact that Helia was inherently a reserved person.  His shy nature led him to immediately glance elsewhere,)    If only you’d like to.  Tattoos aren’t for everyone,  it’s a heavy commitment.  You wouldn’t want to regret it and have to take it off the week after.    (A pause,)    I look forward to seeing you.

⠀⠀  ৎ ﹡    ៹⠀ @arekulikesmen ꓹ⠀⠀"  oh?  " ⠀quite uncalled for that was.  though at least he won't be making an excuse to him no?  certainly makes the transaction smoother. ⠀"  i've never thought of getting one  ..  i might reconsider depending on the style.  " ⠀does he want him to personally stop by?  it seemed like it,  or was that just an excuse? ⠀"  sure,  i'll stop by then.  "

@bindedcurse       (    ♱    )      (Eyes stare a bit longer,  carefully watching Areku beneath a cold guise.  Drifting from his expression to the crevice of his neck,  he pondered on what it would be like if the owner himself bore a tattoo.)    Just call me,  if you need me again.    (He swallows,)    or you can come find me personally.  You know where my shop is,  and..   I’d hope to give you a tattoo as well,  someday.
