          he even  sounded  like him  .  not just the tone of his voice  ,  or the way sarcasm laced each and every syllable  ,  but the unconncealed confidence and nonchalance of his statement  .  if she wasn’t as smart as she was  ,  maybe she’d  actually  believe it was him  .  but she had  endured  enough throughout her lifetime to be fooled by a supposed doppelgänger  .  they named me after him too  .  his words enough to  confirm  her theory  ,  that the man before her was non other than  malvado  blood  ;  the very family that once  cursed  her name  ,  wanted her burned at the  stake  .  she’s taken  aback  by his forwardness  ,  though she couldn’t say she was  surprised  .  if he truly was a  mirror  of her beloved  arrio  ,  he wouldn’t let her leave without  answers  ,  that she was sure of  .  but her past was a large burden to  bear  and the  last  thing she needed was a historic recurrence  .  it was the  first  time emerald hues had departed from his since they’d laid their gaze upon them  ,  nervousness causing her to  shift  awkwardly  in the night  .  she had trusted arrio  far  too easily  ,  as she was a woman who cared deeply  ,  regardless of what the tales may convey  ;  to make that mistake again would be mindless  .  nataša laughed in  disbelief  ,  the situation she had found herself in was quite  incredible  .  eyes had found his once more  ,  her head shaking as if she were  forcing  herself to keep her guard raised  .  “  i trusted a malvado once .  ”  she admitted  ,  “  i won’t do it again .  ”  and with that  ,  she was turning to leave  ;  but  curiosity  was her biggest weakness  ,  along with the inability to  ignore  her desires  .  she stops in her tracks  ,  eyes  squeezing  shut as she mentally tells herself to  let it be  .  but she was always one to act on  impulse  ,  her frame turning back towards him  .  “  i do … -  have one question though .  ”  she states  ,  “  you said they named you after him .  why ?  ”  anger was boiling beneath her skin as she tried to figure out their  reasoning  ,  she was sure it was nothing short of  vindictive  ,  “  your family  hated  him .  ”

           within seconds she’s merely  inches  away from him  ,  emerald orbs peering  upwards  in curiosity  .  it wasn’t him  ,  that she  knew  .  there wasn’t an  ounce  of recognition within his eyes and  her  arrio  ?  he’d recognize her  anywhere  ,  she was sure of it  .  even if he’d spent centuries in the  dirt  ,  his soul would recognize hers as if it were his own  ;  regardless of the  poison  his family had  poured  into his head  .  perhaps she was a bit  too  close for her own good  ,  studying him like he was a sensational masterpiece hanging in an art gallery  .  his question lingering beneath the moonlight  ,  the soft  hum  of the wind being the only  answer  .  and nat  ?  she was  still  staring  .  her brows furrowed  ,  her hand reaching upwards only to stop just moments before making contact with the skin lining his jaw  .  perhaps some boundaries should  remain  ,  after all  ,  if he bore the  malvado  name  ,  he might just want her  dead  .  though her fascination was hard to resist  ,  her vampire heart only beating for  him  within that very moment  .  a man she’d  never  met  ,  one who wore the face of a lost  lover  .  “  remarkable .  ”  in a soft whisper was all she could muster  ,  reality beginning to tap against her skull  ,  forcing her to take a couple steps backwards  .  it was only  then  had she realized her failure to comply  ,  his question still bouncing between the trees  ,  his confusion  begging  the stars for an answer  .  “  i’m sorry you -  you just look  exactly  like someone i used to know .  ”  she confesses  ,  unable to peel her gaze away from his  .  everything about him felt so  familiar  ,  even the  energy  he radiated  .  but there was still a  fear  within her  ,  that her name had been battered over the centuries and his family had  cursed  her existence  .  “  again ,  i’m really sorry ,  i was just leaving .  ”
 it’s   curious   how   he   does   not   pull   away  ,     doesn’t   flinch   at   the   proximity   of   the   other   to   himself   but   stays   rooted   in   place .    dark   gaze   remaining   glued   to   the   emerald   eyes   staring   back   at   him .   examining   him   with   such   vigor ,   almost   like   she’s   trying   to   look   into   his   soul .   it's   strange ,   the   crux   that   clouds   his   focus ,   it   begs   him   to   speak   but   he   remains   tight - lipped  &   unmoved .   as   soft   whisper   breaks   the   silence   that   fills   the   barely - there   space   between   them ,   he   snaps   back .   blinking ,   twice ,   thrice ,   watching   as   she   moves   away ,   her   words   signaling   her   departure   and   all   he   can   think   about   is   how   she   never   answered   him .   its   the   questions ,   always   the   questions   sitting   in   the   smooth   curve   of   his   irises ,   unresolved   &   waiting .    he   can’t   just   let   her   walk ,   not   after   what’s   just   happened .

PIECES OF HEART were falling more and more as she stood next to the man , oh chica - did you really think a supernatural would love you ?  EMOTIONS ARE WEAK.  remembering the words her father told her when she came back from seeing dom - the day he broke her heart.  which came with a smack to her face because of how reckless she was . how dumb and naive to think of a romance so forbidden.  god - why did her father have to be so fucking right .  her eyes gloss over at the man she still loves.  why don’t you love me ? why was i not good enough ?  we would’ve been great and we almost were.   she has so many things to say , but she stands there - frozen and stunned. she sucks in some air and stands infront of dom.   closing any distance and she can feel his breath on her as she looks at him. her hand lays on his cheek - running over his scar. “  why are you here . mi amor ?” knowing the male was focused on her , but who was focusing on the male himself ?  ronnie knew he wasn’t .    the smell of ash and ciggarettes are on both of them . she inhales it as she closes her eyes . let him go , ronnie .  her forehead presses on his and she lightly lets her lips brush his . “ you can’t keep doing this.” she whispers to him before she sighs and steps away from him . now there’s so much distance and it breaks her , but it needs to be done.   she’s looking up at the sky and watching the clouds go by. “  it’s where i belong - this shithole.  it’s my new home.”  she doesn’t even look at him as her eyes start to water.

          a lot had  changed  since she’d last stepped foot in arcane  ,  since she’d last called it  home  .  back when there were less monsters amongst men  ,  less creatures  lurking  in the night  .  it was easier to go unnoticed then  ,  easier to be  normal  .  she’d spent quite a bit of time upon this soil  ,  in gowns that reached the floor and antique pearls that draped across her collarbone  .  a time of elegance and  love  ;  perhaps the only time she’d ever actually felt  love  .  her fingers graze across a gravestone  ;  ARRIO MALVADO  engraved within stone  .  he was a good man  .  a  lover  disguised as a  fighter  ,  burdened with his family’s reputation and loyalty  .  a  bloodline  like that is  bound  to make someone go  crazy  .  she didn’t blame him though  ,  she didn’t despise him for following their commands  ,  she  understood  .  it was between  her  and a  legacy  ;  and she was nothing but a  monster  .  which is why she was here now  ,  kneeling upon his grave with  sorrow  .  “  i miss you .  ”  she whispered  ,  masking her pain and guilt with the  love  she still possessed  .  two thousand years and the four with him were the  only  ones that mattered  .  she jumps slightly as a leaf crunches behind her  ,  a hand raising to wipe the dampness from her cheek  .  she shouldn’t be here  .  she turns  ,  prepared for any type of encounter  ;  emerald orbs focusing on the stir of motion  .  moonlight defining undeniable features  .  her eyebrows furrowing  ,  eyes glancing from  him  to  his  gravestone and then  back  .  tears still  fresh  against her skin  ,  disbelief written upon delicate features  .  “  arrio ?  ”  her words were  quiet and breathless  ,  her head shaking immediately after the words fill the open air  .  perhaps  she  ,  herself  ,  had gone  insane  .  @assidvous
Tumblr media
   an  unlit   cigarette   rests   between   two   fingers ,   curiosity  crossing  his  countenance  as  words  have  been  seemingly  forgotten .    it’s  a  rarity  to  find  anyone  in  this  part  of  the  cemetery ,   isolated  &  alone ,   sectioned  off  solely  for  those  that  carried  dominic’s   family   name .   not  many  came  to  mourn  the  ones  that  laid  buried  here  six  feet  underground           honestly ,   who  could  blame  them ??   throughout  their  lifetime  in  arcane  falls  the  malvados  had  made  it  quite  clear  they  weren’t  ever  interested  in  making  friends .   they  did  not  deal  in  the  art  of  pleasantries  &  soft  smiles .   (  certainly  not  when  it  came  to  those  foreign  to  their  own  sort .  )    no   no ,   they  stayed  ever  so  merciless  &   malevolent ,  wreaking  havoc ,  taking  weakness  and  turning  it  into  fear ;   power .    this  was  their  legacy ,   hollow  words  etched  onto  cold  marble ,   never  to  be   read  aloud . . . .   because  the  living  do  not  grieve  the  dead  they  do  not  miss .   his  curiosity  melts  into  confusion ,    the  mere  mention  of  the  name  causing  a  ripple  effect  within  him  .    questions  burning  at  the  back  of  his  throat .   he  stares  for  a  moment ,   giving  her  a  cursory  evaluation  before  he  finally  speaks .   ❛  do i  kn          . . .  who  are  you  ?   ❜    words  stumble  over  unsure  lips ,   vigilant  gaze  rooted  to  the  girl  standing  before  him ,  demeanor  matching  that  of  his  own .

 looking down at the ashes of her cig ; sadness over-taking her as she remembers how happy they were . or was it only just her ?  was he using her ? it’s thoughts she would tell herself weren’t true , but a part of her went home crying as she knew they possibly could be. god - he was her weakness.  it was disgusting to her family to see her wanter off . they knew damn well , but now here they are . in arcane falls to keep an eye on their daughter - with an enemy .  ronne was never going to get her parent’s happiness if she still drawing herself back. she tells herself she doesn’t care about him and that he means nothing. lies . lies that mariana tell herself and her family.  once she looks at that curly haired man - it all changes.  it made her sick. rolling heres - oh so he wanted to do that , huh ? well mariana can do it too. “ well -  you tell me , babe … what are we talking about ?” shes pressed against his back and lets her finger trail his jaw .  she breathes down his neck before taking steps back.  she’s walking a few distances and hears what he ask her , turning her head .” you should know — i truly never really want to be alone.”  her voice softens as she stands there and sighs . god - just walk away mariana ! just do it !
Tumblr media
     brows   lift   in   a   sort   of   disbelief ,   but  not  quite  surprise .     if  anything ,   the   gesture  is  closest  to  a  voiceless  scold .   for  a  moment  he  lets  the  silence   &   all  his  evident  knowing  simmer  between  them .    resisting  the  urge  to  walk  over ,   pull  her  close  and  tell  her  no  harm  will  ever  come  to  her  again .    (   fuck  ,   he   can  still  feel  her  fingers  tracing  his  jaw  )    concoction  of  cowardice   &   contrite  swirling  through  his  veins ,   this  is  who  he  is .    hurts  people  so  he  doesn’t  get  hurt ,   but  in  the  process  manages  to  do  exactly  that  which   he  set  out  to  avoid .   a  coward  who  can’t  speak  the  truth  even  if  it  means  being  happy  for  the  first  time  in  his  miserable  life .   maybe  his  father  was  right  all  along ,   and  all  of  this ,   in  its  entirety  is  his  fault .   from  the  moment  he  was  born  to  the  moment  he’ll  die .    he  wanted  to  stop  being  afraid  ;   so  the  monster  he  became .  tell  her  its  going  to  be  okay  !  he  sighs ,   the  source  of  her  grief  ,   how  could  he  ever  ?     ❛   i  can’t  think  of  a  lonelier  place  than  this  shithole  --  why  are  you  out  here  ?   ❜    words  are  sharp ,   acerbic .  trail  of  his  gaze  is  mapped  out  between  the  trees   &    the  vast  void  of  darkness  that  surrounds   them  before  finding  their  way  back  to  mariana .

a hint of a smile on her lips. she didn’t plan it, they’d simply risen up a bit, but once ivy became self-aware they were fixed in such a position. always in control, always in control. it was hard to keep charades, but ivy would rather think of it as secrets, and oh, was she great at those. “ what’s your favorite? ” the girl spoke while pouring another drink, filling his cup, his hubris, his vices, his whatever-the-hell-she-needed-now. the offered bottle, their language for the first few times, had simply stuck, making a dent in her paycheck that she did not care about. “ of all the ones you did on me ? or haven’t yet. any wishes ? "  make  me  your  canvas . she did always dream of muses and her skin dripping in ink, too deep to ever physically overflow. ivy’s shoulders were covered in the other’s art, a touch of magic disguising the marks of all the fantasies she’d ever GUTTED open. the irony made her smile a bit more. 
Tumblr media
    shoulders   rise   &   fall   in   a   shrug .      ❛    that's  like  asking  someone  to  pick  favorites  between  their  kids .   you  can’t  do  that  shit .   ❜     oh ,   how   he   lies ,   so   boldly  yet  so  completely  unconvincingly .   words  are  offered  with  a  chuckle ,   coy  smile  playing  at  his  lips .   raising  his  glass  to  take  a  sip  he  isn’t  even  sure  he’s  buying  what  he’s  selling  here .   if  there’s  ever  anyone  patrial  to  nepotism ,   (  when  it  comes  to  this  particular  question  )    its  dominic .    not  all  his  children  are  equal ,   especially  not  the  love  he  holds  for  them              &   that  guy  that  came  in  the  week  prior  who  asked  for  a  place  boob  here  tattoo  on  the  inside  of  his  right  palm  was  definitely  not  a  child  he  was  particularly proud  of .   leans  back ,   shoulders  relaxing  as  he  fixes  his  gaze  on  ivy ,   soft  nod  of  his  head  towards  her  right  arm .    ❛             bottom   left .  ❜    coy  smile  finding  its  way  back  onto  his  face .

YOU’RE SUPPOSE TO ONLY SEE THE DEVIL ONCE - but oh how lucky mariana was , she saw him everywhere. curly haired , chizzled jawline , and fit body type.   plus it wasn’t hard not to feel the presence of someone you once cared for.   plus ronnie felt the stare .  what did he want from her ? why the pit of all place ?  she knew the answer.  just didn’t want to listen to her head.  taking a drag from her cig as she looks around at the scenery. gasping it all in before somebody ruined it .  a quick gesture of the middle finger is given . no answer - no reply given .  she flicks the ash off of her cig as  she contemplates what to do next.  her head turns and her eyes meet his .    she sets her cig on the floor and crushes it .  eyes rolling in the back of my head.  hearing the nickname he has given her - only he called her that.  “  so - then why are you here ? aren’t you trying to stay away ? ‘ she asks him as she gets closer to him , her shoulder brushing his .   a smirk on her lips as she nibbles down on her bottom lip.

 there’s   an   unreadable   set   to   his   jaw ,  when   she   raises   her  middle  finger  at  him .    he  stares  for  a  moment ,   lost  in  thought .   he  doesn’t  know  if  her  acting  like  this  makes  it  easier  to  deal  with  or  harder .   it  just  is .   certainly doesn’t explain  how  he  always  finds  himself  back  here  again ,   with  her .    doing  the  same  song  and  dance  over  &  over  again .   she  pretends  it  doesn’t  get  to  her ,   he  knows  this .   he  pretends  he  doesn’t  know  she  cries  when  his  back  is  turned .   he  hates  it ;   having  that  effect  on  her .   its  curious ,  the  feeling ....    its  got  a  hold  over  him  and  that  scares  him  more  than  anything ,   and  one  look  in  her  eyes  tells  him  she  knows  this  too .    ❛   depends  on  what  you’re  talking  about ,   babe .  ❜    last  word  is  exaggerated  for  full  dramatic  effect .   what  should  he  have  been  staying  away  from  ??   danger ;   from  the  pits  unknown ,  or  her  . . .   like  she  isn’t  both  those  things .   play  it  safe ,   play  it  dumb .   she  brushes  passed  him ,    he  doesnt  flinch ,   doesnt  pull  away  from  the  touch  either  but  vigilant  gaze  trails  the  others  movements .    ❛   unless             you  want  me  to  leave  you  alone ?  ❜    words  fall  from  his  lips  with  a  shrug  ,   hand  reaching  for  his  cigarettes .

* aesthetic ;   honeyed  eyes  rimmed  with  red ;   serving  as  a  cruel  reminder  of  restless  nights  spent  wandering  aimlessly  as  sleep  evades ,   notebooks  &  pages  full  of  sketches  and  words  left  unsaid ;   strewn  about  haphazardly  in  an  unmade  bed ,   the  smell  of  cigarette  smoke  clinging  softly  to  day - old  clothes ,   saccharine  half - smiles  gracing  charmingly  handsome  features ,   alcohol  tainted  lies  that  make  the  stars  align  for  the  night  but  ultimately  leave  him  feeling  more  hollow  come  daybreak ,   old  scars  marring  delicate  flesh ;   a  stark  contrast  to  the  fresh  bruises  his  knuckles  hold  and  the  bloody  split  that  kisses  his  lips ,   the  weight  of  expectations  stacked  so  high  that  even  standing  on  tiptoes  can’t  possibly  reach ,   tired  hands  running  through  perfectly  unkempt  curls  coming  to  rest  at  the  nape  of  one's  neck  &  ink - stained  fingertips ;   telling  the  tale  behind  another's  story .

 *  trigger  warning  ;   child  abuse ,   domestic  violence ,   neglect ,   death ,   alcohol  &  drug  use . 
+  the  malvado  name  is  one  that’s  been  around  for  centuries ,   dating  back  to  the  early  1500s .   a  very  powerful ,   incredibly  successful  and  highly  feared  family .   known  for  their  proficiencies  in  dark  magic ,   they  did  everything  they  could  to  get  ahead ,   unrelenting  and  ruthless .   if  you  stood  in  their  way ,   it  wouldn’t  be  for  long .
+  dominic’s  parents  got  married  at  a  very  young  age .   a  loveless  arranged  marriage  brought  to  be  by  their  two  respective  covens  as  a  show  of  ‘ good  faith ’   and  peace .   the  son  of  a  great  warlock  and  the  daughter  of  a  powerful  witch ,   together  they  would  stand  and  show  them  all  that  no  matter  the  differences ,   the  two  covens  could  coexist . 
+  not  long  after  their  marriage ,   dominic  was  born .   an  heir  to  what  they  would  leave  behind ,   a  soft  small  boy  that  would  carry  on  the  malvado  name .   do  right  by  them ,   make  them  proud .   and  so  he  would  try ,   doing  whatever  his  father  would  ask  of  him ,   without  question .   keep  quiet ,   play  nice ,   “ don’t  make  me  tell  you  again ” .   his  father  was ,   after  all ,   a  prodigy ,   a  manipulator  and  a  good  one  at  that .   and  every  day  dominic  would  grow  to  look  more  and  more  like  his  father .   (  a  carbon  copy  of  bad  decisions  and  regrets  that  he  only  would  later  come  to  learn .  ) 
+  his  mother ,   if  you  ask  nic . . .   he  can’t  remember  the  last  time  he’s  seen  her  smile .   lifeless  and  cold ,   day  after  day  she’ll  sit  in  the  same  spot  and  not  utter  a  single  word .   his  aunts  would  tell  him  stories  of  when  she  was  younger ;   how  her  smile  could  light  up  a  room ,   and  her  voice  could  be  compared  to  that  of  angels  singing .   stories  of  a  girl  full  of  passion ,   and  life ,   who  held  love  for  all  things ,   especially  small  and  beautiful .   for  dominic ,   hard  to  believe . .   he’s  only  ever  known  her  this  way ,   to  him ,  she’s  always  been  melancholy  stares  and  dark  eyes .   beautiful ,   broken  and  absent . 
+  the  nights  his  father  would  come  home ,   the  smell  of  whiskey  clinging  to  his  breath  he  would  tell  dominic  about  how  it  had  all  been  his  fault .   how  he  was  to  blame  for  the  state  of  his  mother .   she  had  changed  after  he  was  born .   had  he  listened  more ,   had  he  been  a  good  boy ,   she  wouldn’t  have  been  this  disappointed .  she  would  have  then  wanted  him  more ,   cared  for  him .   (  his  father  of  course ,   was  a  massive  piece  of  shit .  )  nights  like  these  would  only  ever  end  one  way ,   bruised  and  broken ,   much  like  his  mother .   his  father  would  beat  him  with  whatever  he  could  find .   for  a  man  so  very  well  versed  in  the  dark  arts  he  never  did  use  magic ,   his  fists  were  enough .   it’s  here  dominic  learned  how  to  fight ,   and  never  really  stopped  since . 
+  once  school  started  for  dominic  it  meant  more  freedom ,   away  from  the  toxic  environment  he  calls  a  home  and  away  from  the  man  that  breathes  down  his  neck  ever  moment  of  every  day .   do  better ,   be  better ,   be  stronger ,   learn  more .   too  many  expectations  thrust  upon  a  little  boy .   as  dominic  grew  older  he  started  listening  less  and  less .  rebelling ,   first  in  small  ways  and  slowly  but  gradually  less  subtle  and  harder  to  ignore .   the   consequences  not  really  mattering  to  him  anymore ,   having  become  more  than  used  to  the  punishments  he  would  endure  at  the  hands  of  his  father .  his  body  a  battleground  of  scars  to  show  for  his  work .   he  would  become  his  own  person ,   not  the  person  he  had  been  groomed  to  be  since  birth .   he  had  been  living  his  life  for  his  father ,   and  his  father  couldn’t  have  cared  less  about  what  this  meant  for  his  son .   he  would  take  back  his  life  piece  by  broken  piece  and  glue  it  all  together  again . 
+  a  year  before  dominic’s  18th  birthday  his  mother  passed  away .   unusual  for  a  witch  of  her  age  but  the  truth  was  she  had  died  a  long  time  ago .   no  one  thought  about  it  twice ,   and  some  even  saw  it  as  a  relief .   for  years  everyone  had  watched  his  mother  deteriorate .   after  that ,   there  was  nothing  keeping  dominic  at  home  anymore .   he  barely  returned  back  there  except  from  night  to  night ,   using  it  merely  as  a  place  to  sleep .   some  nights  not  even  bothering  to  return  at  all .   come  his  eighteenth  birthday  nic  was  out  of  the  malvado  house .   by  this  time  nic  was  far  too  old  to  control  and  as  much  as  he  tried  his  father  saw  that  it  had  no  use  left .  he  had  lost  him ,   rightfully - fucking - so .
+  dominic  was  supposed  to  be  a  leader . .   like  his  father .   always  like  his  father ,   a  fighter ,   a  fraud ,   a  fucking  monster .   it  had  become  everything  he  had  grown  to  hate .   but  as  much  as  he  loathed  it  there  was  something  underneath ,   a  feeling  he  couldn’t  quite  pinpoint ,   something  dark ,   something  dangerous  he  wouldn’t  dare  admit .   mostly  because  he  was  afraid  yet  mesmerized  by  the  power  that  he  felt  growing  inside  of  him .   he’s  yet  to  love  anyone  but  the  rush ,   the  high  that  accompanies  a  fight ,   a  magicless  fight ,   bare  hands ,   skin  to  skin ,   the  sound  of  cracking  bones  and  the  smell  of  fresh  blood . . .   it’s  the  closet  he  likes  to  think  he’ll  ever  come .
+  after  that ,   finding  a  job  was  easy ,   he  started  small ,   an  apprenticeship  at  the  local  tattoo  parlour  that  over  the  years  grew  into  so  much  more .  ( dark )  magic  infused  tattooing  had  never  been  this  interesting  and  he  was  the  best  at  what  he  did .   his  own  skin  turned  from  a  cemetary  of  scars  to  the  canvas  he  had  been  looking  for  all  along .   people  expected  much  of  him ,   a  big  speaker  a  born  to  be  leader ,   to  be  this  malvado  heir ,   this  regal ,   lavish  thing ,   but  he’s  all  hoodies  and  leather  jackets ,   bruised  knuckles  and  split  lips ,   dark  alleyways  and  illicit  drugs .   a  far  cry  from  the  boy  who  used  to  sit  back  and  be  quiet ,   do  as  daddy  said .   
* personality :  on  the  exterior  dominic  is  a  charismatic  &  intelligent  guy  (  like  all  malvado  men  )   that  has  the  world  at  his  fingertips .   however  the  deeper  you  go  the  more  pain  you’ll  find .   this  is  one  of  the  reasons  why  nic’s  very  guarded  by  nature  (  as  well  as  because  he  doesn’t  want  anyone  to  discover  who  he  really  is  behind  the  facade .  )   at  times  explosive ,   (  fight  him  pls  !!!  )  his  patience  with  certain  things  has  grown  thinner  over  the  years  and  he  tends  to  be  easily  agitated .   as  stubborn  &  sarcastic  as  they  come ,   uses  humor  as  a  form  of  self  preservation .   though  a  total  charmer  he  does  suffer  from  ‘ sloppy  bitch ’  syndrome  and  tends  to  self - sabotage  a  good  thing  when  the  realisation  hits  him .   likes  picking  fights  and  petty  arguments  just  for  shits  &  giggles .   his  loud  mouth  has  gotten  him  into  trouble  before  but  being  the  suave  little ��fucker  he  is  he  tends  to  talk  himself  out  of  shit  easy .   because  he  hasn’t  had  many  real  or  serious  relationships  he  isn’t  inclined  to  allow  himself  to  form  deep  or  more  intimate  bonds ,   (  afraid  that  if  he  lets  his  guard  down  and  enjoys  himself  or  lets  himself  be  happy  it’ll  all  disappear  and  he’ll  be  left  alone ,   again .  )  but  the  people  he  is  close  with  he  trusts unconditionally  ,   and  would  p  much  die  for  them .

king; when did you handcuff yourself to the idea that vulnerability is a weakness? when did searching for temporary highs become more appealing than finding something that nourishes your soul for an eternity? why does the impression you have on your peers matter more than the impression you leave on yourself? why does the search for riches concern you when it makes you feel emptier than fulfilled? i hope you find the answers, and find yourself again.
