Vale stared at the keychain whale for a moment before carefully closing his hands around them. There were tears in his eyes. "I......" "LOVE IT."He sweeped Alraada into a big hug, twirling her around and laughing like an idiot. "IT IS SUPERB. THE BEST! A LITTLE ME IF I EVER WAS A WHALE. HOW COULD I EVER MEASURE UP TO SUCH A GLORIOUS PRIZE?!" There were tears streaming from his single eye. Alraada, being picked up for even though what felt like the millionth time, was still predictably flustered. She felt rather happy, though. Even though there was a possibility Vale was pretending to be happy, it felt like he was as happy as he was when he first joined, and before she became his soulmate. Even though she believed herself to be contributing to his less than fun time at this project, she felt...happy. Her heart beat faster once again at the thought. She was almost immediately annoyed with herself at the thought. It had been five days. Her childish crushes were completely stupid, and not to be taken seriously. When he put her down, she couldn't help but smile, though. "I-I'm really glad you--" She cut herself off when she noticed Vale was crying. Alraada was taken aback by the reaction, and wiped his tears away as some weak attempt to console him for something she didn't even know about. "Y-you're ok, right??" ------------------------------ Elenara and Tyreithillis stood at the Wisney Palace Balcony. After a long but serene silence, Tyreithillis spoke up. "I'm really happy to see them like this." Elenara snickered. "Happy to see they're mostly not at each others throats for one day?" Tyreithillis pouted. "Well, if you word it like that...." She trailed off. Elenara laughed lightly and turned her attention back out to theme park in front of her, which was shrouded in darkness, but was lit up from the almost garish lights of the rides. "Thank god for that Nace kid." Elenara said with a laugh. "He's probably the one who brought a bunch of them together." Tyreithillis checked her phone Idly, seeing the camera following him around. "Yep, him and his soulmate. If it weren't for them, this would have become a disaster. Thank you, 29 year old Tronald Dump." Tyreithillis said with a giggle. Elenara shrugged. "Well, I had assumed Viktor would have taken the role of the group's punching bag, but someone worse did end up appearing. Shocking, is it not?" "No one worse than a racist." Tyreithillis responded, idly twirling her finger, where a small fire resided on the tip. After a long bit of silence, the fireworks began to crack into the ait. "Ah..." Elenara smiled at Tyreithillis' fascination with the lights. "Want to check the footage more when we get home, and collect the data there." Tyreithillis shut her phone, and wrapped her arm around Elenara. "Yeah....let's have this moment." she said, leaning her head on top of the other's. The two wondered only briefly what the other couples were doing at this time. |

The comment of one of the annoying teenagers stung slightly, but it wasn't until a scream of pain was let out that Amil turned to face the group once more. One of the teens had fallen over, crying and clutching his head, while the another was busy shouting at their partner. Amil couldn't help but burst into laughter at the boys' misery, the little act of 'kindness' bringing a genuine smile to his face. Looks like Nace doesn't hate me after all...He smiled warmly at his partner as he waved the ticket around. "Oh, I should think so, babe! After all..." His sincere smile turned into one much more devious as he leaned in and whispered into his partner's ear. " You just lost the bet~" He gave Nace a peck on the cheek and began walking towards a food court. " Ooooooooooh, you're going to look adorable in that leash, tomorrow~" He chimed as he pulled his map out. "That's going to be fun! I should make you wear my gym outfit all day. Though...it may be a bit snug on you.... not that that's a bad thing~" He giggled Nace grimaced when he realized he'd completely forgotten about the competition the two had been partaking in. And one of the rules he himself had set up. "Fuck," He muttered, slapping a palm to his forehead, "Suppose that's what I get for being 'nice'." The fighter glanced up to see lights breaking into the sky. How had it gotten so late already? It felt like only an hour ago they'd arrived. Sighing deeply, Nace placed the ticket into his pocket. "Well, a deal's a deal. Just don't make me do anything where I could be put away for life." He half joked, honestly not positive if Amil would stick to that or not. He dramatically extended a hooked arm to his soulmate, gesturing with the other to a small outdoor restaurant that appeared to be serving sushi. Whether it was good or not inside an amusement park would be up for debate, but it was surely the most expensive place in sight that qualified for the prize he'd won. "Well, like I said, dinner is on me. Want to watch colorful pollution stream through the air while eating imitation crab?"
Vale pounded his chest, shaking his head a bit as though to throw off the tears. "I am fine! Better than fine, I'M WONDERFUL!" He leaned down to twirl Alraada again--thought better of it, and simply went for a quick hug instead. He pulled away, his hands still on the green-haired woman's shoulders, a warm smile beneath his mask and a genuine sparkle of joy in his eyes. "I didn't think I'd be able to have a good time today with that creep wandering around the park somewhere, but you made it a great day indeed." He hooked the whale keychain to his belt as he spoke. "I'll cherish this always! The first gift exchanged between us!" A dazzling array of lights cracked into the sky, making Vale jump a bit. "Oh!" He cried, looking up as the firework show started. He fell down dramatically to his knees, his hands thrust towards the colorful sparks. "WHAT A MAGNIFICENT ENDING TO OUR ADVENTURES!" He fell backwards onto his back, not even caring that they were still in the game section. It was relatively empty now, anyways, as most had moved to one of the locations designated for viewing the show. Vale pointed up at a particular firework--a large green explosion with a haphazard smile attempted to be formed in the middle. "IT'S YOU!" He said with a laugh. "Or is it me? Perhaps it is the both of us!" He patted the ground next to him to invite her to sit. |

"Well, like I said, dinner is on me. Want to watch colorful pollution stream through the air while eating imitation crab?" Amil giggled at his partner's sudden realization that the two never called off their competition and grinned at his request. "Oh, no no. Don't worry. I'm not gonna force you to do anything TOO extreme!" He waved his hand dismissively as he walked into his partner's inviting arm. "Yeah, sushi sounds good. Not sure how great Wisney Place sushi could BE, but its worth a try." Amil looked up at the sky, fireworks lighting up the night in a beautiful array of colors and sparks. The man blushed slightly and turned to look at Nace again. "Hey, I know it cost you the contest but....thanks for standing up for me back there." He looked off towards the sky so he wouldn't have to make eye contact with Nace. "I, uh.. I shouldn't have let them get to me like they did, but...I dunno, I have bad experiences with people like them.." He scratched the back of his head as his face continued to burn brighter and brighter, the man becoming visibly flustered. "Soyouknowthanksforbeingasweetguyandallthat." He muttered really quickly before breaking away from Nace's arm, his face as bright as the fireworks. "SO! WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ORDER!?!?" He shouted a little louder than he meant to, due to his own embarrassment.
A loud crack caught the fighter off guard as the couple continued to search for a ride, Aberdeen jumping at the noise and letting out a small yelp. They looked up towards the sky and noticed red sparks filling the air, their eyes filling with wonder. "THEY HAVE FIREWORKS HERE!?!?" They shouted as they shook with excitement. Their question was confirmed by another blue firework bursting in the sky. "THEY DO!!!" Aberdeen quickly sat on the ground and continued looking up towards the sky like an amazed child. "Maicy Maicy!! Sit down! Lets watch the fireworks!!" They exclaimed excitedly as another firework cracked in the air, causing Aberdeen to clap. |

Maicy heard the the fireworks already starting. Whoa! Already? She sat next to Aberdeen on ground as she watched a lot of fire works bursting in the sky. Some fire works were in the shape of the Winsey Mascot characters, which is pretty rad. She clapped with amazement. Maicy turned to Aberdeen.
"Heheh! I'm glad that this is the way to end the day! With a bang!!"
Maicy's face then turned red, realizing how stupid that joke was. "With a bang"? Really Maicy???
"Uhm! Sorry! That joke I made was so stupid, heheheh..." Maicy chuckled nervously before one of the big fireworks bursts "Oh! That's intense!" She clapped as she said that.

The next few hours were spent in blissful merriment, with the new couple spending their time in each other's company and as far away from any of the other contestants as possible for the rest of the afternoon. They played more games, heckled more park-goers, rode more thrilling rides, overturned a few mascots, everything a new couple would want to do at an amusement park! But eventually, the sun did begin to set, leaving Alti with a bittersweet feeling stirring in the back of his mind which only slightly relieved itself at the sight of the rides brightening up in response to the lack of natural light in the sky. Eventually, they had to leave, but he so did want to squeeze one last activity in before he had to inevitably whisk his partner away into one of his many portals and back to their hotel room-- --again, which wasn't really that much of a bad thing-- --except he was having too much fun here already. He thought he'd end the day with something "simple", initially dragging his soulmate over to the Millennium Force ride again as a way to ease his way out of all the fun. To him, there was nothing worse than doing the same thing twice (unless he had no other choice but to do so), and even though the ride held the sentimentality of being his very first, riding it a second time would probably just bore him, so that's why he headed over there. At least, at first. Alti stopped somewhere in the middle of the park, bewildered at the sudden shift in action the other civilians had taken on, prompting him --and his partner, as an extension-- to turn around and follow the current as the large group of people gathered to one end of the park, drawn to the radiant explosions that sparked across the sky. " Woah..... WHAT'S THAT???", beamed the skimpily dressed man pointing a finger up into the air, one of the individuals scattered around the two --a small child holding his mother's hand-- replying "Fireworks, mister!" with a similar tone of excitement. Ultimately ignoring the judgmental look the woman gave concerning his choice in questionable attire, his eyes filled with wonder as he parted his lips to speak again. "THEY GOT FIRE??? IN THE SKY? ?"
Aura led her small group of friends over to where the fireworks were being shot off. While she herself didn't exactly care for the sparkly sky-bombs, she thought it to be a good way to end their day of cheering Piami up. Already, they had went on a few of the rides that the sad former idol suggested (because hell if she was gonna let Arenia decide), took pictures with the mascots, and even bought her cotton candy, all in the name of giving her "soulmate" the space he required as well as getting Piami in a good enough mood to inevitably re-unite with her new boo. Having already been spent enough by entangling herself in all this relationship nonsense, she glanced around the group of people for the guy, occasionally looking to Piami to see if the girl was also seeking out her date. After a few moments of ignoring the fireworks and the oohs and aahs of the mesmerized crowd, she grew bored with her passive-aggressive attempts at getting this whole thing over with and turned over to her once-forlorn friend. "So, uhhhh....." she stammered innocently, her expression showing no signs of her inner exasperation, "What did you say your, uhh.... 'soulmate', looked like again?" Man, what a weird word. |

Having hours to his lonesome in a theme park he didn't particularly care about, Iksel set to wandering around the place rather aimlessly. There was no point going to the water park, not after the mood was completely soured, and he couldn't face Piami again yet... As he wandered, he started to notice pieces of trash littering the ground, and before he knew it be his aimless wandering had turned into park beautification as he went out of his way to pick up every bit he came across... much the the janitor's confusion. (And relief)
Iksel had gathered by now a pretty impressive collection of plastic bottles, to which he struggled to find a recycling can for. Being too stubborn to throw them out, the man had no choice but to wash them in the bathroom sink and store them in his bag. At this point he had become the weird bottle guy, people would occasional opproach him with their empty bottles wondering what be might possibly be up to.
"I'm just picking up trash,this place is gross," He'd insist.
-
"Galystris, look!" Cheri beamed as a friendly, creamy colored alpaca approached the two. The animal eagerly reached it's head over the fence in hopes of either food or pets. Cheri's dainty hand timidly reached over the top of the alpaca's head before plopping down on the animal's plush carpet of fur, a smile lighting of Cheri's face on contact. They spun to face Galystris eagerly, "it's smoooo soft! And completely different from people hair. And look how pretty it's eyes are, it has cute eyelashes."
A plume of light lit up the sky, followed by a loud boom and crackle. Cheri squeaked and jumped back, the wombat that they and Galystris had just visited did the same.

Piami hung around the Aura and Arenia. She's starting to feel better after spending time with her old friends. Once the fireworks starts, either though it was fun. It was pretty much a nice sight to see. Once Aura asked what Iksel looks like, Piami thought about it, trying to remember the features. "He has blue hair that is by the right side and blue eyes... I think he has some earrings..." She should have spent time with him more but then again, she usually waits for him to come back. |

Once Aura asked what Iksel looks like, Piami thought about it, trying to remember the features. "He has blue hair that is by the right side and blue eyes... I think he has some earrings..." She should have spent time with him more but then again, she usually waits for him to come back.
Aura raised both eyebrows at her friend's description of her mate, questions running through her mind concerning the authenticity of this experiment Piami had been a part of. Judging by her words, this guy didn't exactly fit her interpretation of what a "proper" man for Piami would look like. She shuddered especially at the mention of piercings and how casual such a detail flew out of her friend's mouth. Being too chicken to puncture anything save for her earlobes, the thought of this dude having multiple holes in his face was... unsettling, to say the least. But Piami didn't seem to care about any of that, so who was she to judge? "OK.. that shouldn't be too hard to find..." she mumbled, looking around the group of people around them and ultimately finding no blue hair. She raised a finger to her cheek and tapped it inquisitively, her mind going back on the day's events for more spots to check, a new clue revealing itself in her limited memory. She had seen blue hair here before, but at a passing glance. The.... the bottle guy? she asked herself in near-disbelief, but soon shook those feelings away. It couldn't have been anyone else, right? She turned back to Piami. "You mean the bottle guy!?" she inquired out loud, grabbing onto her friends' wrists ( because lol hand-holding) and moving them out of the bunch and away from the fireworks. "Well, he could be anywhere! Let's go!" And with a sudden burning sense of determination, she dragged them through the park, even if she wasn't all too sure whether the man was still on park grounds or not. Turned out the former was true and eventually they found their guy. Oh. He wasn't all too bad-looking, but the bottles were still pretty weird, and that was coming from her. "HEY, BOTTLE DUDE!" she yelled unabashedly at the walking recycle bin, stepping a few paces forward and presenting Piami before him. " Here's your 'soulmate'." She appeared to have mellowed out after that little outburst, holding her friend by the shoulders as she waited patiently for a response. |

IT'S YOU!" He said with a laugh. "Or is it me? Perhaps it is the both of us!" He patted the ground next to him to invite her to sit. Alraada followed him out, and stood in awe of the fireworks briefly. "They're so....pretty..." she muttered in a childish bit of surprise. The unfamiliar sight left her fascinated once more. She smiled widely at the pretty show of lights, remembering her younger years of watching the fireworks through the trees on the fourth of july. She snapped herself of her daze and ran over to Vale, sitting down next to him. "Yeah...we're the green team." she said with a small laugh. She stared more at the fireworks. "It's really really pretty out here...." she whispered to no one in particular with an awed look still on her face. ---------- A plume of light lit up the sky, followed by a loud boom and crackle. Cheri squeaked and jumped back, the wombat that they and Galystris had just visited did the same. Galystris jumped as well, alertly looking for the source of the suspicious sound, letting our a relieved sigh when she realized it was just fireworks She sighed at her own stupidity, and wrapped an Arm around Cheri. "It's fine, just fireworks." She spoke, with relief lacing her tone. "Want to stay behind here or get a better spot?" she inquired politely. |

Nace did a double take at Amil's shift in volume, a look of surprise flicking through his features. After a few moments, a grin cracked on his face and he laughed, ruffling Amil's hair even though he knew he hated it. "Don't be so nervous, ya fucker." He chuckled as he slipped into his seat. "It's cute, but not sexy." He flipped through the menu for a moment, placing an order with a waitress for two orders of shrimp tempura and a couple glasses of water. Their water was brought to them shortly as their food was being prepared. "Cheers to beating up children." He said with a sarcastic wink. "My favorite pass time hobby~."
"Yeah...we're the green team." she said with a small laugh. She stared more at the fireworks. "It's really really pretty out here...." she whispered to no one in particular with an awed look still on her face. Vale looked up at the sky in child-like wonder. He scooted along the ground on his back until his head lightly nudged Alraada. "Yeah," he murmured, shifting his eye up to look at her for a moment, "it really is." They stared for a few more moments, Vale whispering a few 'ooohs' and 'ahhhs' and the occasional 'oh ho!' at a particularly bright display. He clapped his hands together when a large amount of fireworks went off at once, although his claps couldn't be heard over the deafening booms. "Amazing!" He cheered with a small fist pump to the air. As the fireworks returned to a simpler performance, his hands fell back to his sides and he fell silent. There was a long moment before he managed to speak again. "Say, Alraada?" He whispered, a sobering tone to his voice that sounded out of place. His eye was closed as though he were just intaking the moment with his whole being...he sounded his age for the first time. "I always wanted to come to something like this one day...with a family. I never got the chance, and I never thought I would be able to." He scooted his arm closer, but hesitated, unable to grab her hand as his own clenched into a fist. "I'm just...glad to be here is all. I'm truly grateful. I know we aren't a family or anything like that, but this feels...nice." His voice broke a bit and was reduced to almost nothing. "...So thank you, for today at least." |

Maicy heard the the fireworks already starting. Whoa! Already? She sat next to Aberdeen on ground as she watched a lot of fire works bursting in the sky. Some fire works were in the shape of the Winsey Mascot characters, which is pretty rad. She clapped with amazement. Maicy turned to Aberdeen. "Heheh! I'm glad that this is the way to end the day! With a bang!!" Maicy's face then turned red, realizing how stupid that joke was. "With a bang"? Really Maicy???"Uhm! Sorry! That joke I made was so stupid, heheheh..." Maicy chuckled nervously before one of the big fireworks bursts "Oh! That's intense!" She clapped as she said that. Aberdeen snorted as they burst out into laughter at how cheesy Maicy's joke was, the fighter clutching their stomach as they tried to contain themself. "You're such a dork!" They joked as they nudged their partner. A large array of fireworks burst in the sky in rapid succession for a moment, prompting Aberdeen to coo out of wonder. The fighter reached into their backpack as they were about to offer the orange soda they had saved to Maicy, until they remember what they had done with that and simply removed their hand. "Whoops." They whispered to themself. They began to consider apologizing for that, given they may have let themself get out of hand, but decide not to bother. It was unlikely the man would give them the time of day anyways. The fighter brushed the idea aside and went back to watching the beautiful display.
Amil scowled as his partner messed with his hair, the man quickly combing through it with his fingers as he sat down next to Nace. It seemed Nace had ordered for the both of them, so he simply handed his menu off to the waiter as they received their glass of water. He chuckled at his partner's remark and clinked his glass to Nace's before taking a sip. The glass shook in his hand as he set it back on the table. The boom of each firework prompted Amil to flinch slightly with each loud burst. They're just fireworks. They're just fireworks. They're just fireworks. He continued repeating this over and over again in his head as he hurriedly drank the glass of ice water he'd been given, his foot beginning to tap out of pure irritation. The man gripped his own wrist and closed his eyes as he tried to force the toxic thoughts out of his head.
GET THE HELL OUT!! WE DIDN'T RAISE A FUCKING QUEER!! YOU AREN'T MY DAMN SON!!Another, rather loud, firework burst in the air, causing Amil to spring up from his seat and slam his hands on the table. "I'LL BE BACK IN A MINUTE!" He shouted, frustratingly as he rushed towards the bathroom. Once inside, the man peered around the area and once he confirmed no one was inside, he locked the bathroom door. Amil walked over to the bathroom wall and sat down up against it, hugging his legs tightly to his body. "They're just fireworks!! Get a fucking hold of yourself!" He growled, his body shaking like a leaf. "You're fine! Stop being such a fucking baby!" Amil dug his fingers into his wrist, the amalgamate gloves moving out of his fingers' way as they dug deep into his skin. The sensation of warm liquid against his finger tips snapped Amil out of his panicked fit. He stood up from the ground and looked at his wrist, four new gashes where his fingernails had been gripping. "God damn it..." He mumbled to himself as he flipped the bathroom faucet on and held his wrist beneath it. He began grinding his teeth as the fireworks continually bombarded his eardrums, no longer causing distress but rather anger and annoyance. Once his wounds ceased bleeding, the amalgamates made their way over his wrist once more. "Couldn't have just stayed in place, you fuckin' assholes?" He questioned his gloves, to which a few red eyes looked at him for a moment before closing again. Amil rolled his eyes and exited the bathroom once more, making his way over to the table and sitting down next to Nace. "Sorry about that. Really had to use the bathroom." He lied as he sipped what was left of his water. |

He lied as he sipped what was left of his water. Nace sputtered once Amil came back over, as he'd been drinking from his previously concealed flask. "YEAH, SURE." He said through a coughing fit. He'd been expecting some authority figure who might try to confiscate his liquor. He twisted the cap back on and shoved it into the gun holster once more, carefully covering it up. He leaned heavily on the table, drumming his fingers nervously as he side glanced at his partner. Vale had always been on his ass about drinking. It annoyed him that he felt like hiding it suddenly. One nice date and you're already concerned? what he thinks. You fucking moron. As if to prove something, he pulled the flask back out, took another long drink, and then forcefully pushed it across the table and towards Amil. "Want some?" He asked gruffly, not looking the other in the eye. "You seem a bit shaky. Could calm your nerves." Or just numb them entirely. |

He took the flask from his partner's hand and took a large swig before passing it back to Nace. He let out a sigh of annoyance as another boom echoed throughout the area, the man clutching his fist out of irritation. "I'm just in a pissy mood, that's all. When we're done eating, lets call up an uber or something and go back to the hotel, okay?" He looked to his partner with slightly pleading eyes. The waiter from before reappeared with the shrimp tempura Nace had ordered and set it down in front of the two. Amil immediately plopped one in his mouth and chewed it to bits in a few seconds. They were about as good as he expected for fast food, and he picked another one up. "I think I oughta ice my eye when we get back" He muttered as he lightly tapped on the swollen flesh around his eye. "And probably drink some more. I need to either calm the nerves or just clock the fuck out." He chuckled as he took a bit of the second shrimp. |

The following hours led up to the end of easily the best date so far. With the two keeping their distance from the other couples, the rest of their Wisney wonderment went off without a hitch, sans the couple run ins they had with disgruntled security guards when a couple of the top-heavy mascots just happened to end up on the ground. But several rides and games later, the sun had begun to set on their rather enjoyable day, Alti suggesting that they end their date with the first ride they'd ridden. And while the scientist was now about to ride Millenium Force for the third time that day, he wasn't about to tell his partner 'no'. "Woah..... WHAT'S THAT???", beamed the skimpily dressed man pointing a finger up into the air, one of the individuals scattered around the two --a small child holding his mother's hand-- replying "Fireworks, mister!" with a similar tone of excitement. Ultimately ignoring the judgmental look the woman gave concerning his choice in questionable attire, his eyes filled with wonder as he parted his lips to speak again. "THEY GOT FIRE??? IN THE SKY? ?" Cyrus grinned brightly as his partner's amazement echoed that of some of the smaller children around him, laughing softly and watching him gawk at the fireworks. "Is this your first time seeing fireworks?" he hummed. "They're real pretty, right?" Despite the temptation to follow that up with a lengthy rambling explanation, he kept his mouth shut, letting the display of colorful lights and smoke speak for themselves for once. After a few moments of deliberate silence, filled with nothing but the the sounds of the explosive crackles and the delighted squeals of the surrounding families, he began to muse as he watched the display. "As a kid I'd build little firework rockets like these with gunpowder and bottles. Launch 'em off in the backyard. I was too young and stupid to know that there's no way they'd make it anywhere out of the stratosphere but, I liked to think they escaped the world and made it to space." He grinned. "Guess it was obvious what my career would be from a young age, eh?" he laughed, squeezing Alti's hand gently. "These are way flashier than anything I did though and nowadays, making them explode while full of people is the last thing I'd want," he snickered. With a gentle squeeze of his partner's hand and a few more moments of simply being with each other, he flashed the other a warm grin. "Today was a lotta fun." -------------- Once Aura asked what Iksel looks like, Piami thought about it, trying to remember the features. "He has blue hair that is by the right side and blue eyes... I think he has some earrings..." She should have spent time with him more but then again, she usually waits for him to come back. "You mean the bottle guy!?" she inquired out loud, grabbing onto her friends' wrists ( because lol hand-holding) and moving them out of the bunch and away from the fireworks. "Well, he could be anywhere! Let's go!" And with a sudden burning sense of determination, she dragged them through the park, even if she wasn't all too sure whether the man was still on park grounds or not. Turned out the former was true and eventually they found their guy. Oh. He wasn't all too bad-looking, but the bottles were still pretty weird, and that was coming from her. "HEY, BOTTLE DUDE!" she yelled unabashedly at the walking recycle bin, stepping a few paces forward and presenting Piami before him. "Here's your 'soulmate'." She appeared to have mellowed out after that little outburst, holding her friend by the shoulders as she waited patiently for a response. Arenia's eyes lit up almost simultaneously with Aura's realization, chiming in right after her with, "Yeah I saw him earlier!", her other band member dragging her off before she could get in another thought. Just like they thought, it wasn't too hard to find the ombre-haired male carrying around half the park's trash with him. He wasn't exactly her type but he certainly had enviable and luscious locks. The less brash idol raised her hand to signal their presence and the presence of his soulmate, but that gesture turned out to not be necessary as Aura shouted out to the 'Bottle Guy'.

Amil glanced down at the flask of alcohol and back up at his partner, a bit of confusion on his face. "Yeah, sure." He took the flask from his partner's hand and took a large swig before passing it back to Nace. He let out a sigh of annoyance as another boom echoed throughout the area, the man clutching his fist out of irritation. "I'm just in a pissy mood, that's all. When we're done eating, lets call up an uber or something and go back to the hotel, okay?" He looked to his partner with slightly pleading eyes. The waiter from before reappeared with the shrimp tempura Nace had ordered and set it down in front of the two. Amil immediately plopped one in his mouth and chewed it to bits in a few seconds. They were about as good as he expected for fast food, and he picked another one up. "I think I oughta ice my eye when we get back" He muttered as he lightly tapped on the swollen flesh around his eye. "And probably drink some more. I need to either calm the nerves or just clock the fuck out." He chuckled as he took a bit of the second shrimp. Nace replaced the flask moments before their food came. He ate quietly and quickly while Amil spoke, an itching in the back of his head telling him that there was more to this than just a pissy mood. But who was he to confront the other after blowing up earlier? Thinking about it made his teeth grind. The no soul thing would need to be discussed again at some point. Pretending it didn't happen was working for now...but that only worked for so long, as Nace had brutally realized many a time. If he was going to stay--and if Amil was going to stay--some sort of ground lines would have to be drawn. He couldn't risk getting too attached. "Alright, sure," He finally spoke, holding the final roll in his hand. He chomped on it and tipped his head back like he'd just taken a shot before standing up and looking around with a tinge of anxiety in his posture. He seized up suddenly when he noticed Vale and Alraada gazing up in the gaming section they'd just come from. His eyes locked on the wrestler, his breathing speeding up for a moment, before suddenly he turned away from the two with a pained look in his eyes. "Let's just fucking leave now." He muttered. "No need to wait for the rest of this shitty fucking team of misfits." There was so much malice in his voice every word sounded like a death threat. |
