Two months.
[ Wow. The absolute difference in those two answers.
There's a moment of dead silence as the dissonance of their very different answers settles in the air, the guard at the door absolutely dumbfounded as to the audacity of these two men trying to sneak into the club without having even consulted each other.
Wriothesley's smile freezes on his face for one second before he composes himself and bulldozes on. ]
That is, we've been engaged for two months. We'd been seeing each other for six years before that. [ He elbows Yuwon in the ribs none too gently. ] Isn't that right, sweetie?
[ Via the oculars, he fires off a message. ]
I thought we agreed to let me handle the talking?
[ They didn't agree to shit, which is why they're now here, suffering. ]
no subject
when he sees wriothesley open his mouth again, he almost speaks in tune. the beginning of his explanation clipping with the other man's before eventually pausing on his tongue. if they weren't already being judged severely, they're being absolutely glared down. the guard even seems to reposition himself as if keeping the door more tightly behind him. when he feels the elbow and sees the colorful light up of the message on his ocular,
he places his heel on top of wriothesley's foot. ] I let you talk and look at what happened.
[ says yuwon who truly is the other half the problem here. ]
I'll fix it. [ but how...
he leans into wrio's arm, but even this seems aggressive somehow. ] That's right, honey. How could I forget when you're always repeating yourself and running your mouth. [ they're definitely not a normal couple by any means, and is it worse that they're now causing a slight scene here... ]
no subject
He bites back a grimace, careful to keep the cheerful smile on his face (though there's a definite undercurrent of annoyance running underneath it now). There's nothing wrong with taking orders or following someone else's instructions - he is a team player after all, now that he's been stripped of all his authority - but somehow having to follow behind Yuwon of all people makes the whole thing insulting somehow. As if he's just some useless peasant beneath the other man's notice.
But what else is he supposed to do if they want to get in? ]
Alright, Mr. Big Shot. Don't let us down then.
[ He'll play the role he's been assigned if he must. Which is apparently that of an idiot as he looks over and pouts at Yuwon. ]
But babe [ gagging ] I thought you liked it when I run my mouth. Especially on you.
[ 100% confirmed idiot. ]
no subject
(they both should have known.)
unfortunately, it's an undeniable fact that while yuwon could be flexible, he definitely worked best when he could map out an idea of where he was going. now that their "plan" is already crumbling... it's a pretty shitty place to start. it's only made worse when wrio seems to squeeze those words in there. ]
You— [ he catches his initial displeasure and seems to collect himself. ] I thought you promised to be a good boy tonight.
[ dies inside while typing this.
both fools.
it's true that they seem to be confusing the guard though. but, whether that's a positive or a negative. ... it's definitely a negative and it's amazing he's letting them both argue back and forth like this. ]
no subject
The good boy prompts even more of a kneejerk reaction of distaste from him, though this time it has nothing to do with Yuwon himself. Old traumas flare up briefly, a fifteen-year-old negative association sticking its nose into the air before he tamps it back down. There's no room for that, not tonight.
Obediently, he casts his head downwards, gaze sweeping the ground as he tries (and fails) to look repentent. ]
Sorry.... I'll do as you say. [ And then, lifting his head so he can address the security guard: ] So please won't you let us in? You really don't want to know what he's like when he gets mad.
[ I guess....Yuwon is just an abusive boyfriend now???? I'm so sorry Bijou, I derailed this so badly. ]
no subject
...
why is he being made to sound like this?
while yuwon runs several scenarios though his brain, he can't find a single one that leads them to success. but, that's not to say he gives up. ]
Why would I hurt you? [ he places a hand on wrio's forearm, it's tight, but he then slides his hand to his, intertwining their fingers. there's nothing gentle about this though as he lifts it to his mouth, as if pretending to place a kiss on it. ] I only want to be let in so we can buy you a new toy.
[ if they didn't seem like a freaky weird couple before, they definitely are only be further leaning into this. though, to be fair it doesn't help that yuwon just seems more menacing than he does loving. the guard also seems to have called for backup in the meantime, so.
🧍‍♂️ ]
no subject
Even the kiss on the hand, which should have been romantic, only serves to further the suspicions of the guard at the door and it's not long before the front door's opening and two more guards are stepping out.
Well, Wriothesley knows a lost cause when he sees one. Sighing, he drops the act, eyelids briefly closing as he rubs at his temple with his free hand. ]
Now, gentlemen, there's really no need for all of this. I admit we may have gone a little overboard but surely we can all have a good laugh over this and consider it water under the bridge.
[ Regardless, they should probably walk away fast unless they want to end up in a scuffle. ]
no subject
this is pretty much over. yuwon barely waits, before he's already turning on his heel. he figures there was probably no arguing their ways out of this. while they could have theoretically carried on, he also sees that it would probably end up the same no matter how he minces it. when he begins stepping away, still not releasing wrio's hand... he realizes, he isn't following.
so he shoots a quick text. ] I said follow me. [ once again, he actually didn't say anything, but he tugs his wrist firmly.
actually, why is he still holding his hand.
he releases it just like that, almost shaking it off. while normally, he didn't mind a fight, he presumed if they still wanted to preserve their covers for later, it'd be best to cut their losses now and try again in a few hours. maybe ... not even with each other. ]
no subject
Since there's no point in hiding things anymore, he shoots Yuwon a flat look as he's tugged along, following behind with steady steps even after he's freed from Yuwon's grip. (RIP their extremely non-romantic handholding….) ]
I didn't think you meant it literally.
[ In a situation like that, wouldn't anyone assume it meant follow orders and follow along with the act? But whatever, it's all over now. Once they're far enough away, he drops the messages. ]
So what now?
no subject
when they finally get far enough and wriothesley questions him, he can only release a heavy sigh. ] This is what happens when you can't follow directions. We almost had it before you got all wordy. [ they really...
didn't. ] All we can do is regroup. Not immediately, either. [ they didn't talk enough to need brand new covers, per se. but, definitely a different appearance. which he figures he should also browse through his style chip and see what else that are working with here. ]
no subject
As I recall, neither of us spent much time planning out our approach.
[ Every word is curt and biting, because while he can admit that was a foolhardy thing to do, he's not about to let himself be the only on thrown under the bus for that. He props one hand on his hip, tipping his head to the left as he continues to glare at Yuwon. ]
But I'm glad to hear there's still some rational thought rattling around in that head of yours.
[ That's sarcasm, by the way. He's really not happy with anything about Yuwon, despite how hard I've tried to make this CR work. RIP all my best efforts....they will just have to fight forever. ]
Here's a tip for you: try not to control everything next time. Work as a team instead of on your own.
no subject
I... [ damn.
yuwon normally wasn't the type to be affected by other people's words. on the contrary, he was fairly secure of himself and if any one was going to be critical of his own actions, it'd be him. this may have been the first time in a while that anyone's called him out without any semblance of reservation, and where they've actually been right.
he opens his mouth, before he closes it. he wants to say it'll be different next time, now that he knows to factor in his stubbornness, or lack of compliance. but he has to admit, it isn't just on wriothesley. maybe he got too comfortable with knowing the future. even though he's regressed and came back...
there are some variables he can't always control. while he knows everyone else's actions fairly easily, it wasn't an overnight consideration, and so he can only stand there awkwardly. he shakes his head. ] Don't make me laugh. You say all that, but are you saying you thought of me as your teammate for even a second?
i'm crying, sorry bijou
Wriothesley likes to think of himself as a reasonable man. A man willing to look out for those under his supervision, a man who is fair and just and willing to listen to all sides of a story. So to have his efforts shrugged off like they were never worth anything in the first place….it's more than a little insulting. Not that he's been the perfect example of model behavior either, but at least he's tried. ]
I have, actually. [ For once his voice is entirely solemn, devoid of its usual goading tone. ] I have tried to get to know you and work alongside you, to little avail each time. I'm a patient man but even my patience has its limits. If you want to work together as teammates, then the onus is on you next time to make that happen.
[ Goodbye!! Can't believe he really said that and is now just walking away….sorry Yuwon. Ah wait, he does have one more thing to say: ]
Good luck with your next attempt.
i'm dying.... friendship drama
🧍‍♂️
they're words he said without any actual expectation, so he didn't exactly envision they'd be responded to at all, if at all like this. it's probably all the more insulting for wriothesley if he knew yuwon potentially wanted to check if his words were true. (LMAO) human relationships were complex. as much as they had their back and forth, he never thought anyone would really have a threshold. but, wrio was different.
even in all his time of debating if he could use someone, even people theoretically in closer proximity to him like hargaan, he never thought they'd be offended. rather, he didn't think of it at all. it was probably a conscious decision on his end, and yet. this looks like it was his limit.
instead of saying anything, he decides to not. he also just says: ] I don't need it.
[ except, this is probably really not true, but what else can he do but decide to let the man go. ]
