He didn't push to the guy anymore, but instead he sighs. He infuriates like that and then ends up being the bad guy – well done, Sling. He stopped to that and just remained settled on the countless matters that he was doing, not to upset the guy, specifically for three straight reasons: he's a new friend, he's a blond one who needs help, and he's one of the boss' siblings – it'll hurt his pay check if he did something stupid. So as much as possible, the Locwell studying at Vongola didn't counter much on the explanation. “Okay I guess I went kind of overboard, sorry about that.”
[/b] He wanted to say 'yikes' to himself while pushing on his mind mentally, kind of stressing things and all that.
This is why sometimes he would end up solving other people's problems then deal up with his new problem – his management when it comes to control. Not only him, but sort of all the Locwells and he is one of them through flesh and blood. This ticked him off somehow, wanting to cut the blood relationship and even wanted to leave but for the sake of the villa plus the other extended families, he ignored his bes not to forward in such case. They're not the only people affected anyway, and he was well aware of this situation, like a mere boss.
The black incubus ruffled the blond's hair for now, while he tilts his head away, not to show the disappointed look that he wanted to give towards himself, which was kind of silly in sides. “Don't mind it anymore. I am not pushing you through. Just... think of another reason to change that kind of attitude. It's your body anyway around.”[/b] By that, he simplified the meaning of 'you're on your own despite the friends and the fakeness that you would encounter everyday' or something similar to that. He was just cautious plus it is indeed a food for the thought. Somehow he shared that kind of lesson towards the other youngster with him. That wasn't a bad idea, right? He just hopes that his silliness won't take over, or even his sadistic sides counting on a cause in this theatre.
Now isn't the time for that anyway around, if one would see. “You don't?”[/b] That was totally not right here. He's turning to a father mode again as if he had a son already, but who knows, that is some kind of weird practice giving some advice towards children. “So you've been suffering like that for at least years... poor boy.”[/b] He has to say that, definitely. Not offensive to his court but being honest is what matters the most – that is his own morale as a person. He made a small frown to that.
Memories of him before flashed back again. He never did keep secrets from his brothers but he did not tell honesty towards the mother and father, kind of blinded with the world he is living on. He wasn't a bad guy, selfish but never did he covet some sin of a cause that young age. He would only run and tell and cry while his brothers did much the payback. It was good to have that relationship once more. “You can tell things to me then starting now... that's if you trust me. I actually need some company despite me being mister perfect nicked in this damn school...”[/b] He didn't brag on that. It was actually a girl who nicked him off which spread on school parts and stuff.
He didn't matter much on the boss' ideals since he knew that he was pretty off limits. Nevertheless he shifted to the family. “You're all separated just like mines. God, why do we have things alike...?”[/b] He chuckled to that a bit but it wasn't so bad after all. Everything and everyday is part of his cycle of life.
He just giggled more to the last sentence. “Oh boy toy... Sounds like boss.”[/b] He has to agree with that. He works on the cafe anyway, and as much as he would observe he cannot avoid seeing Gale and the other guy much together but didn't focus on that – he's more on the ladies and costumers.

Sling was speaking his mind and trying to help him after all, so Zephyr wasn't about to complain. Not that he would have to begin with even if it was not actually helping him, he wasn't that type of person. At least someone was trying to help him out and be nice rather then just pick at him cause they could. Simple as that and he wouldn't say much more about it, nor was he calling Sling a bad guy. "N..no it's okay! you were trying to do something good...and I understand." The boy just gave another nod like he was understanding even if he was a bit nervous about it. Maybe the boy had been used to people doing that to him no way did it mean he liked it though. It would be much easier if some people were like Sling, where they did it cause it was the right thing. Not for selfish reasons but can't fix everyone of course.
Looking up at Sling again he wondered if he was blaming himself for what he had said. It wasn't all that bad, but it was just something that Sling was probably doing. Which Zephyr really didn't like he hadn't wanted to make him do that. He worried about his new friend after all it wasn't right to just ignore things. While he could be oblivious about other things, most of the time with his friends he wasn't that way. Blinking the boy seemed to smile a bit but it didn't hide the worry that was there, he was only so good at that. Why he was worrying well of course he knew that, but would Sling even see it part of him hoped not.
"But I mean if you say so. I guess so...but If Sling says it's bad then it probably is." Showing that he wasn't exactly used to people saying that, a few did but then they were no better most of the time. So it was a little odd to hear someone he just met say that even if he knew now even more so that it was true. The boy actually thought about it like he was really listening this time, so he wouldn't make the same mistakes maybe. Who knew it was a learning process not something that could just be done in one day. If that was the case then that would also be fake for sure, and he knew that already.
Tilting his head and giving a small shake of it like he was responding to the question. Because yea he really didn't, it might not be a good thing for him but it was true. Now if only Sling knew what he meant by that, or how to take that but maybe he already did. There was only so much Zephyr would worry about or only so much he wanted to. "I guess...I can are you sure. I mean...I trust you. If you don't mind me being around." Though he didn't see it as all bad so he wasn't really sure what to make of some of this. All he could wonder was how would people in this school react to him hanging around with Sling, the whole difference in age thing was one part of that.
"Yep...wait we are?" That was a bit of a shock to him...while he didn't really know what to make of it. So Sling's family was like that too...it was a bit of comfort knowing they had something in common. As much as he really felt bad about that...but he was learning new things as he went along with this really. So that had to at least be something good. "Brother is odd like that I guess...though don't tell him I said that." Not that he wanted to anyway there was something he never wanted to tell his brother at all.
Though it wouldn't surprise him if he already knew.
[/b] He gave a smile towards the kid, the usual one that the black incubus would give because he doesn’t want the other one to worry about. This is such a relief for him, even in insane times – if ever he had gained sanity for some good reason. He wasn’t at a mad state at the moment, but still he looked at the brighter side of things. This is why he really loved people and their expressions. They break his barrier and incognito in some manner. For an instance, Zephyr at the moment, after reading through, did catch up on him.
Well, he was well informed that his new friend is the brother of his boss, plus it seemed legit. Looking at the face structure, the eyes plus the stature, he does resemble a younger version of Gale. Now he wondered if those Yuuki and Roeli siblings of his do look like him, and would be a family of awesome blond people. Now what if he adds the father and the mother? Sling would only think that his mother would be like an angel, and his father would look an older version of Gale. The raven haired lad chuckled to that, seeing more blonds. He doesn’t have blond fetish of all sorts but to find a family like that is nostalgic.
Supposedly looking at his family side back from the past, he cannot even recall the old looks of his brothers. They’re not changed but more of modified when the appearance shows. Looking back at his old ripped family picture helps – the pictures of Dager, Nayfe and Sling holding hands while they’re young, having the same height and hair color, those pink eyes plus the equal tone of their skin complexion. Their parents looked at them proudly while they were smiling together as if connected forever, their other hands holding the same three teddy bears with their respective colors. However, going to the current, looking at them now, they seemed to change faces and mannerisms: from the hair color, their eyes which they distinctively stressed that they hated, breaking their parents’ hearts and their relationship.
Waking up from that kind of flashback, he lifted up his thoughts to think of what else he might advice for the blond in front of him. He couldn’t help but give another ruffle on the hair of the blond while sighing quietly, his eyes still coveted of sincerity. He looked at the blue orbs of the other male, only to reflect his own eyes with the shade of gold, but can see through the pink jewels which are his original eye colors. He didn’t frown to that. Good thing that the contacts weren’t getting itchy yet.
“That seems to be pretty reasonable, but yes. You trust me so much by the way you sound…”[/b] Great – he decided not to play with this anymore and be all natural for times, the raven haired lad thinking that not everyone are liars at the moment. He didn’t plan to lie towards Zephyr from the beginning and stiffed up on being a good person. He won’t use me like the rest anyway, plus I am pretty sure that the boss is not like that… He judged Zephyr based on the sibling for awhile and the actions that he was pertaining to him.
This is why he just loves kids better than those who are mature. They sounded silly and very pessimistic. “I really don’t mind. I like your company. If we were at the same age I would have been happier – people of my age nowadays are kind of boring…”[/b] He fidgets part troubled with that while he sighs inward. “Maybe that’s the reason why they call me pedo but don’t care, ain’t true anyway.”[/b] The slight sides of people are common in any angles. He didn’t want much of that anymore, he got too much already.
He nods towards Zephyr. “Yeah, but not all. You’re not as… extraordinary as me.”[/b] He didn’t want to be bad influence just like some people and the other bullies there, but at least he was frank. Extraordinary, not by means of being cocky, actually meant being sadistic and what else is there. He was positive that he wouldn’t tell the boss, and smiled. [/blockquote][/size][/div]
[STYLE=font-size:9px; font-family: arial; width: 295px; height: 300px; overflow: auto; text-align: justify; background-color: #39B7CD; border-top: 4px solid #4E310A; border-bottom: 4px solid #4E310A; padding: 12px; color: #2B1B06; margin-left: 3px; margin-top: -11px; float:right;]At that moment yet again he felt like he was doing something wrong. Really he had to stop doing that it wasn't helping him or anyone. No point in blaming himself when he might not have, shaking those thoughts away quickly. He knew he had to stop and was trying his best that was for sure. His brothers would get mad at him if they knew he was still doing that, it probably included Sling as well. And he didn't want to worry or make any of them mad, that would be harder for him to deal with anyway. 'I should say sorry again...' The boy kept that thought to himself and just smiled a bit, like it was all over. Part of him was even tempted to lean against Sling, a brother like thing he did. But he had to remember he just ended up meeting Sling, and that would be awkward. Specially if someone ended up walking past and seeing them doing that.
Though he did wonder if Sling would mind at all, part of him had the feeling he wouldn't. But he never knew...he did say he could trust him but that didn't mean at the same time he would be able to act like he did with his brothers. Most of them anyway since Roeli wasn't that way and getting him to smile was way difficult. They barely managed to and they were related to him, so that just spoke of that even more. At the same moment he wasn't so sure why he even worried about all of this and yet it happened, as much as he wouldn't want to admit it. "Yep I do!" there it was that excitement again, like nothing had brought him down or ever would. Really a twin was like that, probably feeling some of what his brother did.
Blinking and tilting his head it was like this person was really thinking about something. But what was it, did he end up triggering something he didn't mean to. It seemed Zephyr and Yuuki were bother really good at that, his father had mentioned it a few times. Along with giving them the watch what they say and do lecture but they couldn't be liars that was for sure. The blonde haired boy just seemed to lean back a bit swinging his legs, he was relaxing a bit now. So that was at least good, they weren't so hard on each other and he had never been to anyone anyway. That was true to Sling too he would care way too much. Another thing he was lectured for but never bothered to change.
"Yea it's not so who cares! They are...? I guess...but at least you can have something interesting!" Pretty much anyway if Zephyr was maybe he could drag his twin down, they would both keep him a bit distracted. Twins were good at that in some odd way as much as they tried to deny it at times. As if they really even could this time. "Yea..." Not sure what to make of that it didn't bug him of course because well he didn't speak of it but he knew he wasn't. No way would he say anything about it and make himself seem more like he was.
Better to be who he was really was then just some person hidden behind a mask. As much as people weren't going to like the real him Sling didn't mind after all.
This didn't trouble him at all, while he smirks and give off a smile that would at least inform the guy that he should not worry anymore, since this is quite delicate. The look on his face tells this incubus that he has been mean and his apology should be further extended, but knowing this kind of man, he rather not such as he doesn't cling much on words and the like. Truth is, he is fine with whatever he is doing, plus it didn't seem to be much bothering. Anyhow about families, bonding and those things, he appeared used to everyone, says the ironic person who doesn't value much of families. Truth is, he envies most of them being complete and would rather say that they're pretty lucky they didn't end up like him. It was like a tragic tale of Locwell for not only Sling, but rest assured for Dager and Nayfe which started on the very simple but contagious arguement of love and affection.
Most of the time, Sling would think that the parents are at fault; not only when it comes to the triplets but also to the rest of the children. In the bible, he would recall that there's something saying that parents carry the sins, thus children carries and inherits the sins unless if they are confessed on their elementary grade. That is how he interprets it - he's not much of a bible reader but hence he didn't mind of it. He doesn't even know if he has to believe in this so-called bible anymore since the world itself is changing every now and then, not to contradict on the religions of many people, specifically those that would be affected. He kept it all to himself while he looks at the male in front of him, trying to figure out what else is bugging him. Seems pretty to give assumptions but it would be great misunderstanding if he had it wrong himself.
He was fine with that, at least he wasn't a full liar. He had lied many times on different sorts, but there's no changing fact that he had been honest for the latter, since he believes on what things would pay back when he has done something wrong. This is why he really didn't like those kinds of things much, as if there's something troubling him, blocking him all the way. This wasn't good for him. "I'll trust you with that then."
[/b] He mouthed that important sentence, for not even everyone hears that, since he says it rarely. He would usually be picky with people knowing that there are more devils surrounding him, and not all are as angelic as the ones that he has encountered, plus it did matter to him. Being used was way over, but him using others is fun knowing that he's a sadist of all sorts, and a deem full blood Locwell.
Like he said, he didn't care way much anymore of what the other bastards would think of him, because Zephyr knows that it wasn't true and he was well informed, more like a lecture this person would give. But then he didn't bother much on it anymore knowing that he would just trouble the other person and that he shouldn't be bothered also. This will just make things confusing and all. "Supposedly, but I am glad that I informed you already. That's enough said well. Do you question that further though?" He has to ask that thing towards the blond just to make sure, at least he is still here to answer most of his questions before anything else, and the rest would be all done solved.
The raven haired lad smiled to that, leaning more on the chair, while he looks at the sides seeing the free seats. "Anything else you are troubled with though? I don't want to bring this up but it seems you are holding on to something... and it's kind of bothering you, correct?" That thing also, anbd he was pretty sure of that. His eyes were on the blond anyway, even if there was some mere distraction. [/blockquote][/size][/div]
[STYLE=font-size:9px; font-family: arial; width: 295px; height: 300px; overflow: auto; text-align: justify; background-color: #39B7CD; border-top: 4px solid #4E310A; border-bottom: 4px solid #4E310A; padding: 12px; color: #2B1B06; margin-left: 3px; margin-top: -11px; float:right;]The boy didn't get it...well not all of it but at least he was trying. Sling didn't seem that bad so he was not sure if it was even something to apologize for. But he wouldn't correct him that was probably stepping on things he shouldn't and it was really the last thing he wanted to do. Giving a small nod like he understood just by that look, which since he did that was good enough for him. While Zephyr might have been a bit hurt by that if it was someone else and in different circumstances this time he wasn't. It made things just a little odd and possibly hard to understand for him.
Shaking it off quickly he wouldn't let it get to him or show if any of those thoughts he had did. There was no point to the matter and it would probably just make people worry more. The last thing he needed of course. Tilting his head the boy couldn't help but wonder if Sling was thinking way too hard again. Knowing him it was probably true they did that a lot and he didn't like it, or at least he didn't want them to hurt like that anyway. If Zephyr could do something about it he would the kid always would do that no matter what the cost was to him. If he lost Sling as a friend though he wouldn't be sure what to do, and he would probably still try to fix it.
While he didn't know what Sling was thinking he did his best to just pretend it hadn't happened. Not to think of it or bring it up with him, only when Sling wanted to. Maybe he should push a little bit no that would be against his personality and just plain rude sometimes. "Okies!" The boy seemed to relax again though he was still worried who could blame him, he just hoped Sling would be okay. That and he wasn't upset it was truly the last thing he wanted to do to him. Now this was getting back to a better point again at least in his mind, so maybe there wasn't as much to worry about now.
Little could be said or done to shake off that feeling the back of his mind though. It was there poking him with a hot stick over and over again. "I don't know. I don't think so.." At least he really didn't but could he be wrong, or was this just not going to make things easier for them. He didn't know what to get into or if he even wanted to anymore.
Blinking part of him wanted to just shut down at that, biting his lip and then looking up at him with that smile again. No way would he tell it, but then again maybe he should after all he said he trusted him. But he hated to drag people into his problems just because he felt so alone out here and split apart from the family. Well it didn't mean much or at least it shouldn't right. "It's nothing really! just a few...issues really. Family and stuff..." The boy would try to leave it at that but he didn't see it working.
People could get things out of him even when he truly wanted to keep quiet about it.
Sling was not getting to this, as if he’s going to direct questioning and more. He was pretty bold with sharing ideas, such as these instances, specifically if it’s about a girl, or merely being close to them. This is why he is termed as a living black incubus, with that demonic aura nickname, but much charisma and appealing approach towards the person who is quite involved, majority girls and some other guys. Unfortunate for those kinds, he only has a sweet eye on fair ladies and those that would catch up on his interest, or short to say, people as interesting as him. He was quite picky of that. Come to think of it, he guesses himself that he’s kind of interested with his boss’ young brother who goes by the name of Zephyr, but not that ‘kind’ of relationship or sorts, but the longing of some company by his own blood. He didn’t flash back towards the memories of him and the two brothers anymore, for he felt that it would be useless.
On the other hand, Zephyr here has loving siblings, since he said it himself. He was envious with that. He wanted that. He has brothers in the ‘family’ as his cousins and the biological ones but how come he felt so off? He once thought what would the two Locwell think whenever they are gone despite the angst they have with each other, but not to boast – being the smartest and calmest one there is, the black incubus is well informed that he has to think of things that are related to him. Based on Zephyr’s story, siblings look out for each other and are pretty sad when they get separated, but how come he felt at ease plus with the relief when Dager and Nayfe are away? This is all too wrong. When he thinks of it, it becomes much worst, the reason why he went all poker-face with the topic whenever family gatherings are introduced. Best not to feel disturbed with it, that’s what he would say and shrug to him self.
He listens to Zephyr which happened to share more than anything he can. He felt kind of shameful that he was regrettably evil, not by giving information, but telling quite the opposites of his bad sides. He himself cannot manage to do part what he was saying since he lost trust with his life, the only living hope he has were his other cousins, and probably some women which entertained him. He didn’t think about it further while his eyes wander at the ceilings of the theatre. "Yeah, be an obedient kid like that..."
[/b] One may hear this quite offensive but this is how he acts on things to begin with. He was nice with all sorts but then this doesn't change that there's still off with him, even at the slightest sides.
Then again, Sling was not in the mood to play rough or breaks some fingers with people. He just wishes that people with bad hearts just disappear. Technically and sadly, that includes his real brothers. Knowing that it would be much of a hassle to rant over a kid, he didn't do so even if he feels like he's going to break a nerve. Still, he wasn't that immature to think which is why he still held up to that normal attitude of his and so, the reckon of everything that can be doubled.
He sighed to that. "Good then."[/b] At least he is pretty honest.
He wasn't that bad to talk to, and so he responses to that straightly. "Really? Then tell me about it. If you like, that is."[/b] He leaned back on his chair while closing his eyes and thinking that this is pretty fair for counts, if ever this was a debate. He has been fairly honest with everything that he has told and also things such as this wouldn't be really much of a problem for a guy like him. He held to that again. "You can rant at me right now if you feel like it... holding it inside you will do no good also."[/b] He made his point that way too. He wasn't doing this to extract information, but moreover to help Zephyr. [/blockquote][/size][/div]
[STYLE=font-size:9px; font-family: arial; width: 295px; height: 300px; overflow: auto; text-align: justify; background-color: #39B7CD; border-top: 4px solid #4E310A; border-bottom: 4px solid #4E310A; padding: 12px; color: #2B1B06; margin-left: 3px; margin-top: -11px; float:right;]Zephyr looked around, he felt okay for now the most part of what had happened passed already. But at the same time he wasn't so sure what to do this time. Maybe it was yet again another matter of him being way too cautious. He needed to break out of those little walls he tried to keep up around himself. It only worked so much while he wasn't completely secretive he was for the most part. But what was he supposed to do anyway. Sling could end up learning how to read him...turning him into something else. Not that he minded any of that at all, things like that just happened. It would be the whole trying to wrap his head around it sort of thing anyway. This hadn't been all that bad to them though, or at least so it seemed.
Shaking it off again and just kinda looking up at Sling, he was half tempted to lean against him. Or curl up on his lap like a little kid or kitten would do but he didn't. He had to remember this person didn't know him well enough and while he felt as if maybe he could trust them. He didn't want to end up pushing them way too hard and upsetting them instead. Zephyr would have welcomed him into the family if he knew what he was thinking but he didn't. So for now he would try to treat him the best he could, and figure out a few more things about him. Tilting his head again still he wasn't very sure what to make of any of that.
It was like Sling was trying to keep to himself he ended up doing that a lot as annoying as it was anyway. "Yea I guess..." Just looking down and then back up again, no way was he about to act like he cared. Why would he people said that before or they had said worse and Sling wasn't like them. It was probably something else bugging him this time anyway. "I guess it won't but I never liked to complain my problems...not often anyway. But um...What would you do if your parents split apart and wanted you to pick a favorite?" He was more of just going around the subject not bringing up the fact that they split him from his twin too in the process of doing that.
But at least he was speaking up about something and it wasn't really ranting it was more of just asking questions. Which was definitely something he did quite a lot of. It made him wonder how Sling would react to that he never said anything about it, and he just said split. He didn't say they had divorced and split up the twins why would he do that he didn't need to or have to really. It was better off not to anyway most of the time. Sling would probably find some way to get it out of him though.
It really seemed like he was really getting good at doing things like that now. "I mean I'm just wondering...you don't have to say anything..."
That question was pretty easy to answer, for Sling that is. “I have been there like I said. So far I am the family favorite.”[/b] He even gave a small smile to that, the much insulting one for insulting himself, not his brothers. He is pretty sure that the source of all their problems was not him, but the fault of the parents. Sling was never a bad kid to them, until they changed and chose a favorite. He, at first, never expected that he would be the parents’ choice and the two who were part of the Locwell triplets would be half mesmerized and half tempted to kill them. Just like what most people would say, “The Locwell isn’t ordinary, as if their play is killing each other”, it stays like that and until now it doesn’t change. To think that his parents wouldn’t really caress much if they ended up like that as long as Sling is still favorite. Being the smartest one but never admitted and accepted by the latter, he knew of these things ending up like scrap. Scrap is the awful term for trash… that’s what this black incubus learned.
As if they were part of the play of tragedy, that is. It was a living nightmare, but then the three learned how to cope up with their desired nightmare and had themselves their own minds, probably being rebellious in hidden factors. Around parents they look like angels but deep inside they have their own demons, such as those who had seen them would describe and agree, staying away from them or probably taking sides like usual parasites, which they don’t matter much… unless if there’s entertainment and reality on it. They only knew the hard facts of life and coping up will just waste their time, so blending in was another option. If their brains would have been cracked like certain nutshells, this would have been pretty productive – but they wish not one of it to be done… kept on to their so-called ‘normal’ cases.
This wasn’t even normal at all. The black incubus just smirked with that more but deep inside it does give insanity a trigger. He eyes at Zephyr normally, his gleaming cat – like eyes contrasting to the kid’s. “It’s hard being favored though: you get the hate and competition most, while not knowing what your brothers or enemies are thinking behind your back… though it seems much challenging.”[/b] Sure, he wanted to cackle on that loud but not on the theatre, and it would be too creepy to do so. Since Zephyr ask, might as well response fully to that while holding no delays, like the usual things he does when he talks towards his closest friends, but not naming them since he doesn’t want anything bad to happen to them.
Maybe Zephyr can be one? It depends though.
The black incubus leans on his chair again while he fades the smile, and talked darkly but normal, about the irony he is feeling when it comes to favoritism and the question. “I might be evil when it comes to this, but you are way luckier than me… If I was really from a mental hospital I would have wished that my parents divorced and split us up just like your situation. I am a bad son, yes?”[/b] He sighs to that, still comfortable though the words really play sharp as blades that would pierce directly on him. Well, like he said, his body has been thoroughly numb already on these kinds of situations so he went with the indirect flow. “If that’s the case I would be happy, at least I know that splitting us up would be better than trying to kill ourselves with jealousy.”[/b] He was flawless with that answer.
There are times that Sling would think of killing his brothers like a madman which sometimes haunts him, but the one keeping him to do that is his siblings Dager and Nayfe themselves – they didn’t act like brothers but more of prisoners trapped inside a cell, which is why they are a problem and their only source of play and diverts would be the cousins with him just to lure each other far away, even on the boundaries of his barrier. They thought of it like they were part of the killing sprees too often, which gives him too much problems. “God, I am an evil person…”[/b] He presses his hand on his face that instant for awhile, reflecting on what he said.
While he was on that state, he questions. “Now I ask you, what would you do if your brothers wanted to kill you because you existed?”[/b] His question might be deadly, but he has to know. [/blockquote][/size][/div]

At least it meant he was strong enough and maybe Zephyr could learn from him too. In a way anyway, try to get his family to realize he wouldn't do that. Really the only one he truly needed was his twin brother and the others, but he loved his family. So a child couldn't be forced to pick between them it never worked out very well. But Zephyr hardly stood up to anyone he just most of the time let them do as they pleased. Unless his temper snapped or they brought his brothers into it, that was just a no with him. Simple as that but most people were too space cased to get that anyway. "You would though? You are?" That didn't sit well with the others probably, it might have been why he didn't like his family. But Really not Zephyr's place to judge why would he do that.
Most of the time he had other things on his mind, but now he was focusing on what Sling was saying. Still no one deserved to have those things happen to them regardless of the family. If they picked favorites that was them not the person who was the favorite, but jealous things and rivalry was bound to happen. Even more so with siblings so he had to accept that and try to understand it. But then again he also didn't know that family very well so it was a matter of getting to know them. If he ever could at all which most of the time he wasn't so bad at that. Giving a small sigh not out of annoyance more of confusion and worry mixed in with each other.
This just meant Zephyr might have a lot to do, if he was going to do anything at all. Which well this was him so of course he would end up doing so. As much as he wasn't really sure about any of it anyway this time. Tilting his head but listening he wouldn't have any room to go against it not that he would if he could. All he wanted to do was learn a little bit more and hopefully be able to help somehow. "But that's not right...parents shouldn't do that. It's like trying to make it a contest for affection or something." The boy didn't like that thought but it was true, specially because of how Sling talked about it. Just made him sure that he would never do that to his kids or anyone for that matter.
Really he felt like he was just a bit out of it, this wasn't his place but he wouldn't shove anything away. No way he was a bit too nice for that as always. "Not really? It would just be easier for you rather then what they put you through. If that makes you evil then what does it make them?" Really They had been the ones putting these kids through all of this, if he was a jerk he might have slapped them. But he was one too short and too nice to do that to anyone. Specially not the family to his friend as much as they annoyed him even just hearing about them.
"no you aren't don't say that." He was saying it kinda simple like that, then again there was only so much to worry about. he wasn't evil they just did things they weren't supposed to. "If I was a jerk kill them first...but I'm not so...either let them do it. Or find a way to smack some sense into them." It was a simple response really...but then again Zephyr didn't put any thought in it so maybe that wasn't helping, he always put others before himself so that was a bit of a problem.
At least sometimes hopefully this wasn't one of them.
Sling made his face much blanker the moment he heard that. “…”
[/b] He admits that he was speechless for a few seconds after letting him finish all his words before he replies more.
This kid… He didn’t mutter on his name much while he releases a smile, not a chuckle, because his answers are fit for his thinking. He wasn’t being a bad influence here but then he has to reveal the truth, just like what people would do when they give off the extras. The black incubus just realized all his wrong doings and at the same time, all the bad stuff that his brothers would have thought and caused for him. This is way troublesome but for someone like him, this is just easy to live on to. He wanted things to be back normal, but how can he even do that? He doesn’t even know much how to distinguish the normal and off the odd for him, since his eyes were already poisoned enough? This didn’t work no matter how many times he would propose, and then the two would complain or just leave like they’re sick of him. He wonders sometimes what’s wrong with him, but technically, ‘what is wrong with them?’ His mistakes he point but they didn’t.
He didn’t go well with this anymore and just cursed inside his head for he doesn’t want dear Zephyr to hear all his badmouthing. It’s not because of the salary and the talk that they might get with Gale, but he was still a man of pride and a calm one. Ranting and swearing isn’t much of a thing it was Nayfe’s thing[/i], since he knew that calming would be the better option. He was like that most of the time, free to think of anything else just like having good times with the ladies and everything. This really made him glad, as if he was always entertained in circles and never gets bored with it; good thing actually, if one would look at his personality.
He speaks and breaks his silence while he nods to that. “I’ll answer you in order.”[/b] He starts off, placing his hands on his knees quietly, not bothering the leather gloves and the silk – like shine that it produces from the theatre’s rays. “I would protest, because I have the right. I have the right because I have the choice…”[/b] If ever Zephyr asks him why not be a good kid and obey, he blocks it immediately while he wings his hand on his face for awhile, not hitting his cheek or anything. “If I was a good kid, I would have been too manipulated. I call it that way because I feel like I lost the freedom of speech and so.”[/b] This is what he has been trying to point towards the blond with him since he lacks confidence. He didn’t commenced farther to that because like any Locwell, there’s a tendency that he can go snappy in the worst cases.
Affection… now that it rings on the back of his head, he nods to that small. This is why they fight, actually. He doesn’t even know why it went this way, or maybe their parents are doing this on purpose? Anyway around, this is what Sling blames them. He doesn’t even know why he is fighting for affection – probably he’s scared of losing to his brothers, or he wanted to remain the family favorite? His reasons were like loose screws and more importantly, can you even consider that a reason? Sling doesn’t know either, and as well, his brothers. “That’s why I wish they’d split up instead.”[/b] He wasn’t on an off tone or a bad mood while saying that – it’s just the matter of truth and his opinion. Sometimes he wished that there’s equality all over but no matter what he doesn’t see a hole to it.
He mustered up his reply to the rest on these sentences while avoiding having him too risky. “Yeah sure thing. Maybe we’re born natural devils.”[/b] Being called as devil was a standing ovation to them, they don’t even know why. They prefer being one since the parents were already their roots of evil, if people would ask them and much avoid situations like that. It cannot be avoided though that there’s much jealousy on families that would be too loving and caring, as if they were in heaven, but to the triplets it won’t happen anymore. “That’s some kind of answer, hah.”[/b] He smirked to that, relaxing himself more. “Let’s say you were a jerk then. Even so, can you kill your own brothers?”[/b] It was a darker question but still, he wanted to know.[/blockquote][/size][/div]
[STYLE=font-size:9px; font-family: arial; width: 295px; height: 300px; overflow: auto; text-align: justify; background-color: #39B7CD; border-top: 4px solid #4E310A; border-bottom: 4px solid #4E310A; padding: 12px; color: #2B1B06; margin-left: 3px; margin-top: -11px; float:right;]Not that he knew why Sling's face seemed to change for a second had it been something he said. All he had really done was speak his mind but yes he knew sometimes that caused problems. Not that he was really sure he did anything, all he could do was be patient and find out. If Sling got upset then he knew he had done something wrong and would ask what. Just so he didn't do it again another way that Zephyr ended up working. This kid was really nothing more then a child who thought things worked out if they were supposed to, and if people really wanted to make them work. He knew it also applied to his family so the divorce annoyed him but that just meant it wasn't supposed to work. They should have left the siblings together rather then splitting them up, just because Gale was living in his cafe. And well Roeli was at Shimon school working on his fencing and other studies.
Tilting his head and blinking this person had acted a bit different for a second, he was smiling though. So maybe it couldn't be all bad he had to stop worrying so much. Zephyr had to listen only because he wanted to it wasn't that someone was forcing him too. Now that was not the case at all he did things like this because he really wanted to, there was no rushing this or even trying to force it to change much. All he had the ability to do was work with things and respond to the questions when he really ended up needing to. 'Is he okies?' The boy didn't speak that out loud but he did look at him, just as if he was asking it without speaking. He did do that sometimes as hard as it was to deal with.
Also as much as it annoyed a few people around him, but he learned to get past that and not let it bug him. "Okies." He gave a small nod and just waited for the response, it had to mean something but there was also a lot of questions. He had asked more then he meant to and yet it always happened with him. Most people who got to know him would end up slowly realizing that before they left his side. "that's true though I understand." Which of course he really did but Zephyr had not been the way, not always anyway. There was definitely some moments that he didn't exactly like because it felt harsh to him.
'Oh so that's why.' Really he was not sure how to respond to that all he could do was hope for the best. Shaking it off again he seemed to give a small nod. "I wouldn't say that...you don't seem like it. " Which of course was really true because to Zephyr he didn't seem that way even if he called himself that.
Thinking back to that he shook his head, no way could he do that even if he was a jerk. He would just turn it on himself so they could stay alive and hope they wouldn't kill each other. But he knew Yuuki would follow in his footsteps leaving Gale and Roeli, so that wasn't a good thing. "No...I don't think I could would try to stop the fighting or turn it on myself.." which might not have been the right thing to say but it was speaking the truth. And he hated to lie so he tried to tell the truth as much as he possibly could.
He nodded to that for awhile, and for that second, Zephyr kind of reminded their only prince-ss when he acted like that. Though there was some denial (actually, pure denial to be precise) with such implemented actions, he would protest more. Yes, for awhile Zephyr acted like Gannobei, even some seconds this is why he slapped himself mentally again. That’s weird but cute… He wanted to reminisce more of that. Gannobei was the head of the villa yet she’s the one who caused much problems, but he just thought that she’s the barrier that blocks the Locwell siblings whenever they fight over. Heh, I have to thank that woman sometimes… Instead of venting anger too much until they all create blood, they all tease on her instead.
This might be the reason why they were all rounded up on her – she was like the rant absorber for some reasons but Sling knows to himself that too much will anger her… to something else they hopefully don’t want to know. Based on the family history and her attitudes, they tried to ease things up on it. This is what Sling is also doing to Zephyr at the moment, but much lighter for he’s not as insane as the brunette. It makes things way positive moreover and so complete on their traces. Still, when it comes to parents and siblings, he would best ignore. All he has to do is lie about it. For Locwell children, lying was pretty convenient – whenever a person asks if they have brothers they would reply that they’re orphans and of different mothers, much to the fact that their parents didn’t know. Sling told Zephyr that they’re natural born devils, but not all of them are murderous such as the one who is standing before the blond.
Rounding up wasn’t a bad idea after all. He was practically okay with that, and so as his current situation at the theatre. The black incubus didn’t falter on other words such as being pushed down much. He was the one pushing people, for he feels like it. As long as he was entertained, that’s the case. For now, pushing Zephyr and being mean to him is pretty awful. “Would you dare protest then? You’re too angelic.”
[/b] He did notice that side of him. He wonders if he’d die eventually when there’s a murder because he’s an angel… for now, on Sling’s view, that is.
Even if he was thinking of evil and quite sad things, the incubus straightened up to his word and didn’t back up on it like a sick pup. He wanted to know if Zephyr can even protest because on those ages, he almost does – a bit spoiled he was for he is the favorite for many times, but he was at the same time, sad with anything he is doing. Those times, he hated himself so much for being mean and repaying evil only, instead of being obedient and quite clingy towards his other triplet brothers. This is weird, but he didn’t move on it much anymore and it was too late for anything like that happening anyway. It would have been too troublesome for someone like him to be kind of worried with smallest things.
For other people, families are treasures… but for Sling, they’re kind of things that you wish having yet too hard to handle. “Really? Well how did you know that I don’t seem like it?”[/b] The black incubus tested the blond now. “I’m the black incubus if you want to know. I was given that nickname here in Vongola, now how can you think I don’t look like one?”[/b] He’s not scaring the kid, but he looked at him directly, pretty interested of the answer that he would give. Sometimes he wanted the honest people to his company more than those that he can use.
Speaking of using people, he feels kind of tired doing that anymore. He wanted to be much productive, and it wasn’t that fun at all. He listened to the last response of the male before him who nodded and quite questioned it. “You’re a masochist.”[/b] That was his first comment. “You suddenly acted like a hero on that, but it ain’t worth it. You know why? They’ll kill each other next after killing you. It didn’t solve the problem.”[/b] He made a smart move with that but didn’t hurt Zephyr. He was stating facts… for short, the reality.

While he was the younger ones in the family, well other then Roeli it just didn't make sense to him. Why would they have to fight and hopefully it never got to that point. Was Sling's family really like that...? They shouldn't be that way either but he didn't know them. So it wasn't like Zephyr could force them to change even if he wanted to. Not that he knew what was going to happen really...Zephyr had a feeling he would just get into trouble. Wondering how Sling was going to act or what he might end up asking. Not that it could be that bad he could trust him and work with it.
Thought it did make him wonder more about Sling's family, and what they were really like. He wanted to meet them eventually even more now. But he wasn't quite sure how that would end up going just because of the way he sometimes talked about them. He wanted to know Sling was his friend and all he wanted to do was help him, but maybe he was just not ready for that. Or the boy thought that so he didn't complain he just ended up working with it. Figure things out as they went and then go from there it would work anyway. He didn't understand why Sling said that it wasn't true and he knew it. But he couldn't force someone to change what they wanted.
"I guess...I don't know. I mean I wouldn't want to make anyone mad at me." The boy gave a small nod he never wanted to make anyone mad, and it just happened sometimes. But he didn't like the way his parents were doing this, he was still a child and had little control over that. Really Zephyr just had to remember the way he was raised wasn't the same as Sling, so there was always going to be differences. "Because Sling is my friend...and that doesn't apply to you it really doesn't. You don't act like that." He knew Sling could be blunt and maybe mean sometimes, but still it was true and he knew it. Now just if he could Sling to realize that it was not his place anyway though.
"Masochist? I guess so...but I still wouldn't want to hurt them. And preventing the fighting between them....there has to be a way to do that." He was always usually looking at the bright side of things but would throw his life away in a moment to save his brothers, and his friends. Just how Zephyr worked and maybe as much as he feared death it might happen. Someone had to break him out of that probably it would be hard to do though,
Not that it would end up getting them anywhere in the long run, well who knew really. Someone had to want to try and Zephyr felt like maybe for a second he was making a mistake.
"Maybe when we have a family reunion you should come..."
[/b] He suggests that, tapping his chin a bit but had his smile faded. Family reunions... did he even need to attend one? As if they're still a family, and he knows that he and the brothers are too sick of acting way kind in front of their parents who were too busy of work, not monitoring them much and probably have forgotten their times. This all in all, makes not a family reunion to his approach, but more of a broken family. Who would love that anyway? Even the incubus has a good side, so he knows pretty well that this is all too wrong. He just hopes that he didn't give a fright out of it on a young boy. Eventually there were some kids related to them as extended families alike and so they were used to him like that. Some were even proud they had the Locwell like their relatives despite the fact that they are 'monsters'. Sad to say, that term and description hurts them, but they never admitted that and went with the flow. As for the black haired lad, he eyes at the blond before him. "Then again, I think that's not a good idea."[/b] He didn't mock on him just like that - it just proves how he dislikes being touched with them.
Before when there were seminars and awarding sessions, as of flashbacks, the three Locwell would sit together in the same table while the representative of their family watches over them and so reports only further to the parents. There are times the mother and the father would be present but most of the time they are busy at work, and what's worst they leave the nannies behind or some assistants at the same area. Because the nannies and the caretakers couldn't take their attitude, they were forced to resign, only hearing the three stressing out that they want their parents, not them, even if their heads they clearly understand that they are at leave and on work. Whenever there's vacation, they would be happy at first, but then go sober at last knowing that it was all for business. That single love and affection wasn't even divided equally, as if they are craving for it too much. The last one they can remember is when they were young children who talked back almost forgetting their promises. There, they knew that promises were meant to be broken.
Sling really accepts that, for it was done before his eyes. THe family ripping apart is something bad, but how come he feels much at ease now? This is weird. Not breaking the trust of the younger one, he speaks fluent and normally. "Being mad wouldn't save you. The world is unfair. There are haters everywhere, and I bet no one will dare get mad at you because you're too nice."[/b] He smiled to that, knowing that what he said was true. He figured Zephyr out like the hardest lock, took him some minutes of his time to do so, but eventually he did. He was glad with that and achieved something moreover. He knew that innocence can save somebody, but as well, can break the hearts of many for being blinded with the bold truth. As much as possible, he wishes not only to be blinded but to forget everything just like having an amnesia. Still, he kept those dark thoughts to himself while he taps his other fingers on the arm of the chair.
He was kind of shocked, admittingly, with the next answer becoming a real friend. He didn't really expect that. Sling was often teased and often thought to be a flirt but going with benefits and less trusts on others, but this kid... He took a few minutes of silence with that but smirked next casually. "Friend, huh..."[/b] he was simple with that, still smiling while closing his eyes to give himself some peace. It was pretty nice than the rest there. "Sure."[/b] Hearing that eased his mind, after being paranoid that he might back out with that question since it was pretty mean and bold, not to mention straight to the point and blunt. When he asked that towards others their responses would be the same such as "We don't really care much about that because you're awesome" which kind of saddened him inside. It only proves that people cling on the awesome and look on the outside, not the inside.
"Yes, you are. You're going to die if you're in the middle of the war."[/b] He knew that now since the answer proves his well being, but being a masochist isn't that horrible or evil, it is pretty interesting, but then like he believes those are the people often taken advantage of.
'There has to be a way with that', he says. I hope so. I have given up on that way long, long time ago. As much as he would be pretty concerned with all of this, he couldn't. He just thinks that this is nothing but a living nightmare. He didn't spoke to that further for awhile resting his mind from queer thinking. There, he let off a small sigh and opened his eyes. The theatre was still silent and it was good instead of keeping up with the other people, eating their time one by one. How he hated that. "My shoulders are being numb... I wonder why..."[/b] He tried to sit up properly again, while he moves a bit but only felt numb again and again. [/blockquote][/size][/div]
