"No... No you don't..." Amil whispered. "No one should be forced to do anything like that.... To kill someone they love... I understand why you can't do it, Nace, really I do! And..." His grip tightened on the balcony's railing as he glanced back to Nace. "...I'm sorry you got stuck with me... Like I said, if I knew at any point that I was going to... that WE would be soulmates, I.... I wouldn't have..." Amil swallowed hard, cutting his statement off. Who was he kidding? He would have made the exact same choice. Nothing would have changed it. It was either become an emotionless husk or.... Amil let his hair fall back into his face as he spoke up again. "I get why you're mad at me, and I deserve it... I wish I could take it all back! I wish things were different, but they aren't! There's nothing I can do about it anymore! I made this decision back when I thought someone else was my..." He stopped after realizing he'd been screaming at Nace, his head bowing again. "Everything was different back then... I was just some stupid, lovestruck kid... And when that didn't work out, I.... It was either THAT or..." He felt as though he would dent the metal from how hard he'd been gripping the bar, the man locking eyes with Nace. "I'm sorry, Nace!" He whimpered. "I wish I could fix this more than anything else in the world, but I can't!!" Nace raised one of his knees up to prop his chin on, the fire starting to burn out as the clothing turned to ashes. "I don't know what to think anymore." He muttered. "But just because I can't get over him doesn't mean that I don't...That you're not..." He couldn't finish the thought and sighed, pushing his forehead to his knee. "This is all so convoluted and ridiculous. I tried to play it off as some sort of fun thing that I didn't care about, but that's not how relationships work, open or not." He peeked over at Amil, trying to decipher the other besides the obvious guilt on his partner's features. "You deserve to be upset to, you know. It's not like you're the only asshole here." He folded his legs once more and hesitated only slightly before patting the ground next to him. "Well, come on. We talked about the serious shit so let's just.....let's take a break." He sounded exhausted, like he might collapse right there on the spot, but his expression had softened. "We deserve a break." |

It was only after Cyrus had managed to form a coherent thought that he finally opened his mouth again, gaze not moving up from the ground but a grimace forming on his face. "H-How the hell would you feel if for some reason I just went and started groping and sensually feeling up that bodyguard? Or Alraada? Or fuck, if we switched places at the mall and it was me all over Aberdeen, huh?" He tensed up suddenly as the new weight resting beside him tilted his body toward his partner, the man jolting himself in the other direction before his shoulder could make contact. His guilt-plagued eyes narrowed at his downtrodden presence despite still being glued to the carpet. What could it have meant? Clearly, the man had still been angry with him; that was obvious. But had the decrease of anger in his offensive mien and the newly closed gap between them perhaps signaled his partner's forgiveness? Or at least represented the scientist's understanding that he really wasn't making an attempt to hurt him? Alti wasn't sure, but with the silence in the room growing heavier by the second, he couldn't help but start to feel that neither could've been true. That is, until the man finally spoke again, this time expressing his reasoning in a way that rivaled the therapist's not too long ago. At first, his immediate response went along the wrong lines of But you'd never do that to me! until he caught himself the second it dared to reach his lips and thought hard about his answer this time, the feeling akin to swallowing a boulder afflicting his insides once he let the question digest for a moment. " N-not great..." he lamented softly with a breathy sigh as he fiddled with the locks of hair between his fingers. "W-Worst comes to worst, I-I'd rather you not fucking cheat on me to get out of a confrontation. Hell, I'd rather you not grab at other people at all," he swallowed hard, dropping his head a little bit. "I-I don't understand why the fuck it's so difficult for everyone here to avoid a fight..." he mumbled bitterly. Throughout his adult life of poking, prodding, and provocation, he could count the number of times this invoked a violently physical response on his fingers. No matter how hard he tried he just didn't understand it. "Same reason we can't seem to find somebody unless some corporation tells us it's 'destiny': because we're terrible people." he muttered bitterly after chewing on his words briefly. He raised his line of sight up and stared blankly at the wall opposite to them. "Terrible people who don't know when it's time to stop, I guess. L-like me...." He trailed off. It stung to admit to his problem just as much as it did to lump the couple in with the other pairs he found to be so much lesser than him, but unfortunately that was the only answer that he could find. And it sucked. Hesitantly, Alti sat up from his slouch and turned his head to face his sullen companion with a similar sort of grief in his eyes. "I-I-I'm sorry, Cy....." he weakly professed, "I fucked up.... again. I didn't mean for it to come across as cheating, I really didn't....." |

Amil nodded and slowly moved over to his partner, sitting down next to him and pulling his knees close to his chest. He kept his gaze focused on the ground as his nails began digging into his legs. "I.... I am upset.. Not at you, just.... over everything I guess. This whole stupid experiment is way different than I imagined it would be. What I imagined was more like.... I don't know.. our first day together, sorta..." He whispered. Amil let his legs slide out in front of him and leaned back, keeping himself up with his arms. "Nothing really mattered, then. It was just fun. Just sex and messing with other people. The whole soulmate thing in general was a stupid concept in and of itself, but.... now.. now its way different...." He swallowed hard as he looked over towards Nace. "There's.... more to it now, more than I thought there WOULD be..." He chuckled lightly as he looked up at the night sky. "If someone had told me THIS is what the experiment was gonna be... The fighting, the arguing, the stress of it all.... I wouldn't have bothered coming! But...." He looked back towards Nace, a somber grin on his face. "I'm...glad I did..."
{Aberdeen and Beck - Part 3}"Did you ever go to that therapist I recommended you?" Beck asked after a few minutes of him picking glass out of his feet and soaking up the blood passed. "I know you're more of a 'keep the emotions bottled up' type of person, but.... well, you can see where that got you today." Aberdeen shot Beckham a glare, the man throwing his hands up defensively. "Hey, I'm just sayin'!"
Aberdeen turned away from the man, knowing he was probably right but also having no intent of admitting it. The fighter peeled the skin around their neck off, removing their head and placing it on the coffee table. "No, of course not." They snapped. "I don't need a therapist, I'm fine! Bottling things up worked for three years, and it only came out cuz I had a few drinks, that's all-"
"And what happens next time!?" He cut Aberdeen off, anger clearly visible on his face. "Next time that asshole tries something like this and gets you flustered! What then? You're just gonna stand there and take it and just HOPE your fetish doesn't pop up again!!" He shouted.
"BECK-"
"Because you and I both know where that gets you!! You did that with Morgan all the time!! He'd do some sleazy shit in public to get you embarrassed and flustered, you'd try and avoid it and he'd just keep doing it!! It never mattered if you asked him not to, or you tried to get away! He'd make it impossible to get out of it, same way that douchebag in that stupid experiment did!!" He sneered. Aberdeen's face was red with anger, but Beckham kept yelling. "All they have to do is get a hold of your head and you're fucked! There's nothing you can do without that prosthetic getting taken off!!"
"I KNOW, ALRIGHT!?" Aberdeen shouted back, getting in Beckham's face as they did.
"NO!! NO, CLEARLY YOU DON'T KNOW!! BECAUSE IT HAPPENED AGAIN!!" He stopped his tirade and stood up from the couch, taking a few deep breaths as he walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water. "People like that don't change, Aberdeen! Now that he KNOWS how to get under your skin and knows what makes you...tick.. he's just gonna do it again! Same way Morgan did!"
"N-no! Not if I tell Cyrus!" Aberdeen managed to stutter out.
"Hollow threats, Aberdeen!!" Beck shook his head as he walked out of the room for a moment and grabbed his ukulele. "How many times did you threaten to tell the dean, or one of the professors, about what Morgan did to you? And what would he say?"
Aberdeen sunk into their seat as their head dissipated. " 'G-go ahead... They w-wouldn't believe a f-freak like you anyways..' " They muttered.
"Uh huh, and did you threaten to call Cyrus when all that bullshit was happening?" Beckham asked as he sat down next to Aberdeen and began tuning his instrument.
"My partner did...."
"And?"
"He... didn't care.. He just threatened to burn her clothes if she didn't delete the message..."
"Uuuuuuuh huh. Sound familiar?" Beckham raised an eyebrow at the headless fighter, pity washing across his face. "Look, I know you have this weird... kink, I guess is the best way to describe it, but that shits rooted in abuse and just... bad places in general! You need to work that out with a therapist or something! Get some help! Get that weird shit outta your system, y'know? I'm worried about you! I don't wanna get into a fight with this asshole like I did with Morgan!" Beckham frowned before chuckling lightly. "I don't think I could win this one! I haven't been exercising much lately!"
Aberdeen giggled. "You didn't win the first one, dummy. You were a stick in college!"
"HEY HEY! You don't know that, you weren't there! I coulda decked Morgan and you wouldn't be any the wiser!" He boasted in a playful tone before strumming his ukulele a bit. "Ready to jam out? That's what you came here for, yeah?"
"Uh, yeah, lets do it." Aberdeen nodded.

Alraada heard Vale push himself up against the door and she jumped. "Alright, make some feeble attempt to clean up all the shit you broke in there." muttered. She rolled herself away from the door. "And I'm in here because Elenara told everyone to stay in their assigned bedrooms until a certain amount of time. Maybe you would know that if you didn't fucking bolt from the scene." Alraada stared at the sort of familiar room that had held memories of her actually having a good time with Vale. She thought back to that and a look of contempt and anger crossed her face. Too bad he was never going to fucking learn. Vale's heart was still pounding, even though she'd made no move to open the door. He pushed away from its surface slowly, looking at the remains of his tattered suit he'd made even worse in the process of ripping it from his body. His make-shift shorts looked close to coming off as well. Luckily, his mask was unscathed, and he put that carefully back in place. He did the best he could with the shirt, but most of his metal body was still on display, his hands and forearms the only decently obscured piece. With a heavy sigh, he picked up the shower curtain and wrapped it around himself like a large towel, completely covering his whole body in it. If he hadn't of broken the mirror, he was positive he looked like a fuckin' mummy. Speaking of which, he did his best to move all the pieces of the mirror and the bits of plaster he'd ripped out of the wall into the trash. There was no way the bar was going to be fitting back in the wall. He propped that up lightly against the sink. With a deep breath and another quick adjust of the make-shift robe, he opened the door and half walked, half hopped inside, turning off any lights as he did so to try and hide his ridiculous outfit. "I...I figured it was better for me leave." He spoke awkwardly, trying to seem natural and hoping she wouldn't ask about his great new toga. Which she might not, considering how pissed she sounded.
Nace stared at his partner for a moment longer before, in an almost surprisingly cheesy change of atmosphere, he leaned over and laid his head on Amil's shoulder. "Everything's shit and you're shit too," He mumbled, slightly ruining the mood, "but so am I. So yeah. We do deserve each other." There was a long pause before, almost inaudibly, he muttered. "...I'm glad you came, too." |

"...I'm glad you came, too."Amil smiled as Nace rested his head on the man's shoulder, giggling lightly as Nace proved to be his same old self by attempting to ruin a touching moment. "Yeah, I guess so..." He whispered as he leaned his head against Nace's. What came next caught the man completely off guard, his heart skipping a beat when he heard it. He did hear it, right? He wasn't just imagining things? He lifted his head to look over at his partner, a warm smile spreading across his face. He kissed the top of Nace's head as he leaned against it once more. " Thank you..." He whispered.
After nearly half an hour of singing, laughing and reminiscing of their college days, Aberdeen pulled their jacket on and grabbed their head. "Well, I should head out. I wasn't exactly SUPPOSED to leave the hotel, but to be honest I'm glad I did." They chuckled, grabbing Beckham and bringing him in for a hug. "Thanks, Beck... I needed this after today.." They whispered as they let go of him and headed towards the door. "No problem, Aberdeen! Don't be a stranger! You can come around any time you want! Hell, you could even bring your partner if you want!" Beckham chimed, cheerily. "I'll call you a cab to get you to the hotel faster!" With that, Aberdeen left the apartment and trekked downstairs, the cab Beck had ordered having already arrived by the time Aberdeen stepped outside. They decided not to question it and got inside, recognizing the driver as none other than Deep Pond himself. Aberdeen simply nodded and the two took off back to the hotel, the drive only lasting a few minutes given there was little to no traffic. Aberdeen hopped into the elevator once inside the hotel, taking it up to their floor and stepping out only to hesitate. They looked down the hall towards Cyrus and Alti's room, guilt beginning to brew in their stomach. Does Cyrus know yet? If so, is the story skewed in Alti's favor? It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.... Aberdeen chose not to pry, given they had their own issues to work out with Maicy. Aberdeen opened the door to their hotel room and trudged inside, glancing over at Maicy. They quickly walked into the bathroom and set their head on the counter before removing their jacket and walking back into the main room. The fighter sat down on their bed, facing away from their partner. "Sorry I was gone, I needed some time away. Today drained the fuck outta me..." They muttered. |

After a few minutes of breathing in and out, Maicy looked up at the ceiling. Not going to lie, she is still worried that her partner was not back yet. That is until she heard the door opening. she looked to the direction of sound and it appeared that Aberdeen did came back. The fighter sat down on their bed, facing away from their partner. "Sorry I was gone, I needed some time away. Today drained the fuck outta me..." They muttered. "Oh! I guess I cannot blame you. Today was just hell." Maicy spoken, with the hint of nervousness still lingering. A lot of emotions are coming about within Maicy at the moment. On one hand, she is relieved her soulmate is back safe and sound. But on the other hand, with what happened earlier, it's making her a little nervous on what she can say. Regardless, she took a deep breath to cool herself down and just... try."Aberdeen.... I think we should..." Maicy paused for a moment. Just say it, dummy!! "I think we should talk...not only about today... but about things we have yet to tell each other. And that does include some things I haven't got the chance to tell in the therapy session yesterday." That's a little different than how Maicy worded it earlier but the context is still present. |

And that does include some things I haven't got the chance to tell in the therapy session yesterday." That's a little different than how Maicy worded it earlier but the context is still present. Aberdeen sighed at the idea of talking even further about there problems, having just chatted with Beckham about the day at hand. They rubbed the back of their neck. "Talk, huh..? Well, there's nothing much to, uh... talk about. At least, not in the context of today. If you're still worried about that, you don't have to be. Nothing is gonna happen. I was just tipsy after all." They spoke dismissively, still keeping their back turned to Maicy. "And, uh... like I said at therapy, there isn't much IN my past that's worth talking about... But if you wanna talk about what's on your mind, go ahead. I'll listen. I just don't know how much I'll have to add." They huffed. |

I was just tipsy after all." They spoke dismissively, still keeping their back turned to Maicy. Maicy's not sure if that is really the case, given the pink stream that was coming out earlier Maicy sighed a bit. "Look, I just wanna know.." Maicy spoken "Because I feel like there's a lot more than what has lead on..." Maicy looked over to Aberdeen as they are facing away from her. This is going to be tough. "I don't know, I just feel there some things I still don't know about you" Maicy looked down. "I mean, I feel like I shouldn't be the one to criticize, if you feel the same way about me as well..." Maicy gripped her bedsheets "Though.... there is one thing I found out today that.... made me feel like.... I just don't know" she sighed, with her voice becoming a bit waver. "I couldn't be able to ask you about it because Alti took my phone away up until this shit show of a day is over.." She remember what Alti said at the cafe earlier.
Even if it was true, she didn't wanted to hear from Alti of a people. |

Aberdeen immediately tensed up the second the conversation wasn't resolved immediately through their dismissiveness. That's new... The fighter gripped at their bed as Maicy attempted to get them to open up, the fighter doing everything in their power to keep their head from turning green at the idea of explaining their past to their girlfriend. "There's a lot of things we probably don't know about each other. And that's okay. Its only been two weeks. That being said, anything that happened in my past doesn't define me as a person anymore. I'd rather you see who I am today rather than have that vision obscured by my past.. There's nothing WORTH talking about. My whole life up to this point was a shit show." They growled. And then Alti was mentioned. The fighter's head immediately ignited into a red flame as they turned to look at their partner, rage visible in their eyes. "Don't listen to a word that asshole tells you. He doesn't know what he's talking about." They spat as they turned away again, nervously tapping their foot as the red began fading into a slight pink. "What'd you want to ask..?" |

"It's about... what happened during the first date.... while I was stuck inside with some of the other contestants that... strangely aren't around anymore......" Maicy said a little nervously, with a hint of confusion. Whatever happened to most of those people? "...and you were outside.... there was something that....... was mention about you "grinding up on Cyrus" then..." Maicy began to look worried. "Did.... that actually happened....?" |

They screamed, their head slowly shrinking back down to its normal height. They grabbed at the back of their neck and turned away from Maicy, almost wanting to run into Alti's room and beat the ever-loving fuck out of him. "N-no!! That didn't happen! W-well.... Not exactly like that!" They stammered out. "Cyrus was drunk and wobbling all over the place, trying to scream at Vale and Alti who were already in fight mode! I didn't want him to get hurt so I walked him over to the planter and sat him down...." They swallowed hard as their aura glowed with pink intensity. "A-and... I s-sat on his lap.... B-BUT IT WASN'T LIKE THAT AT ALL!" They turned around to face Maicy, waving their hands in front of them. "It was just to keep him in place! He was walking around waving a bottle and glass around! I didn't want him to trip and break the glass over his face or something!! P-plus...." They gripped at their arm and averted their gaze. "I-it was only the first day. Its not like anything would've happened. It was just to deescalate everything..." |

"I...I figured it was better for me leave." He spoke awkwardly, trying to seem natural and hoping she wouldn't ask about his great new toga. Which she might not, considering how pissed she sounded. Alraada inspected the changed Vale to the best of her ability, admittedly curious about what he hid under that eyesore of a suit. Well, it was probably what she expected. That being a bunch of metal. That she wasn't going to judge him for. What she WILL judge him for, however, were his actions. "Well, whatever. It doesn't matter. At least you don't have to worry about your soulmate giving some useless rant that will go in one ear in out the other in public" She said, annoyed. She shook her head lightly and gave a grim, humorless chuckle. "No, instead you'll have to worry about me droning on at you about something you don't care about in private." She spoke, her volume rising slightly from it's previous place. She knew this would happen again, so she wondered why she would even try to lecture him again. "...why do I even bother." "Oh, my day was pretty mixed." Piami said "On one hand, Cyrus and Giaile were arguing with each other, which was not good." Piami sighed a bit "But on the other hand, I get to try something new coffee smoothie drink and I was able to sing on my own during the singing while Cyrus was on his on his phone.... I believe? But I do a little bad that I might've acted hyperactive. Ehehe" she chuckled nervously "It was a little hectic." Piami yawned "Ohh boy, I feel more tired than usual. Guess the caffeine has got me into a rush, huh?" Piami looked over to Galystris "How about you? Was today okay for you or was it hectic as well?" "After your first cup, you always want to crash afterwards." she said with an indifferent shrug. Recounting the events of her day, wondered what answer to give. Some parts were fun, like telling off maicy, and other parts were painstakingly boring. She'd answer the latter, as Maicy and Piami were friends, and Piami would most likely get angry if she told her what she said to Maicy. Well, probably. Sometimes she wondered if the girl could even react. She wouldn't want to bother pushing her buttons though, as a crying child isn't something she would want to deal with. "Excruciatingly boring. Aberdeen doesn't bring too much to the table for me." she said plainly. At least she got to play baseball, though. She looked over at a photo of her and her friends from years ago.  She missed everything back then. Before that happened. |

Its not like anything would've happened. It was just to deescalate everything..." Maicy listened in one what Aberdeen had to say. On one hand, she is upset that she didn't know about the whole thing to began with until recent. On the other hand, they tried to stop Cyrus from getting killed from Alti and Vale, who at the time was drunk as all hell, according to her soulmate. "Well, I guess I can understand, if it's only to stop Cyrus from getting hurt from Vale and Victoria's Secret" Maicy spoken "Guess I should've found that out when I wasn't already upset about what happened at the mall." Maicy took a deep breath. "I'll make this fair. If there's anything you wanted to ask about with me, feel free to ask." Maicy reassured
"After your first cup, you always want to crash afterwards." she said with an indifferent shrug. She wouldn't want to bother pushing her buttons though, as a crying child isn't something she would want to deal with. "Excruciatingly boring. Aberdeen doesn't bring too much to the table for me." she said plainly. "Ohh, that's too bad it was boring. Hopefully tomorrow will be a good day, hehehe." Piami chuckled. She checked her phone, as she hasn't been able to check it all day. Piami looked through and see... oh! There are voice messages from Maicy. Piami was about to listen to them..... but her drowsiness made cause to accedently delete the messages. "Oh.... Oh shoot! I accedently delete the voice messages!" Piami cried, while still sounding quiet and tired. "I gotta... On second thought, I'm a little too tired. I'll just change into my PJs." Piami got up, walked over to the bathroom, change into her pajamas, walked back out and laid on her bed. "I'm going to be an early bird tonight" Piami said "I'll see you in the morning. Good night~." |

Maicy listened in one what Aberdeen had to say. On one hand, she is upset that she didn't know about the whole thing to began with until recent. On the other hand, they tried to stop Cyrus from getting killed from Alti and Vale, who at the time was drunk as all hell, according to her soulmate. "Well, I guess I can understand, if it's only to stop Cyrus from getting hurt from Vale and Victoria's Secret" Maicy spoken "Guess I should've found that out when I wasn't already upset about what happened at the mall." Maicy took a deep breath. "I'll make this fair. If there's anything you wanted to ask about with me, feel free to ask." Maicy reassured Aberdeen sat there for a moment, trying to contemplating what to ask Maicy. After therapy yesterday, there wasn't much they didn't already know by now, at least past wise. They rubbed the back of their neck and looked toward the wall. "There wasn't any real reason to bring it up in the first place. Alti was just trying to be an asshole and make you paranoid. And clearly it worked." They muttered under their breath. "I don't know, is there anything you've done during this experiment that I don't know about?" They turned to look at Maicy slightly before turning away again. "If not you can move on to any other questions.." |

"N-not great..." he lamented softly with a breathy sigh as he fiddled with the locks of hair between his fingers. "Same reason we can't seem to find somebody unless some corporation tells us it's 'destiny': because we're terrible people." he muttered bitterly after chewing on his words briefly. He raised his line of sight up and stared blankly at the wall opposite to them. "Terrible people who don't know when it's time to stop, I guess. L-like me...." He trailed off. It stung to admit to his problem just as much as it did to lump the couple in with the other pairs he found to be so much lesser than him, but unfortunately that was the only answer that he could find. And it sucked. Hesitantly, Alti sat up from his slouch and turned his head to face his sullen companion with a similar sort of grief in his eyes. "I-I-I'm sorry, Cy....." he weakly professed, "I fucked up.... again. I didn't mean for it to come across as cheating, I really didn't....." Cyrus's angry expression softened as Alti began to answer his questions genuinely, his shoulders that were far more tense than he'd realized now slowly starting to drop. His normally over the top and self-assured partner was now showing a new face, a surprisingly humble one to the point of self-deprecation. Terrible...? It was an adjective he never expected to hear from Alti about himself. As his grieving partner finally faced him and offered him a genuine apology, the scientist felt the threat of a new round of tears pricking at the corners of his eyes. The scientist wasn't fully over his upset, nor was he sorry for the things he'd said. But at the same time, he felt as though he'd gained a new sense of understanding, not about what Alti had done or why he had done it, but rather how he felt about him. After some quiet contemplation and mental digging for words underneath the insufficient and inaccurate 'it's okay's and 'I'm sorry too's, he finally let out a sigh. Gently Cyrus took Alti's hand in his and gave it a slightly squeeze before nodding, an attempt at assuring 'even if I'm angry, I don't hate you'. "A-Alright. ...Do you promise it won't happen again?" he asked, making eye contact with him. A small, sad crack of a grin tugged at one of the corners of his mouth. "...You know me, I don't believe in 'destiny' or any of that shit. I didn't come here expecting to find a 'soulmate', I came here to give the researchers a hard time. What a load that turned out to be," he chuckled hollowly, looking down at the hand that was holding his boyfriend's. "I don't like you because someone slapped a shock collar on my wrist and told me 'that guy is your destiny', alright? Terrible person or not, I'm head over heels for you," he mumbled, his gaze remaining trained on the bed. "I dunno what that says about me but... I guess that's what's got me so damn upset," he began chuckling as he failed to string together any more rambly words, his face now a tomato-colored mess of leftover tears. |
