Wheels are turning in his mind and he's processing things quickly; filing this away to revisit because this is absolutely and undeniably important, and even he understands that. A man with his face--- even their voices sound alike, if Blue were to speak more confidently and without such strange pauses. He's unsure, always thinking hard about his words; but this man? He already knows just what he's going to say, before it slips into the air between them. Another step closer--- the taller of the two males rounds in until there's the soft static of personal space invaded.
He acts like they've known each other for years---- Blue is perplexed, but the next choice of words sends everything that clicks in his mind like clockwork on overdrive. Brother; he doesn't have one, does he? Doesn't really have much of anyone at all, let alone a family---? So, why, then, does it make so much sense that these two be connected by a force that he simply cannot explain? He'll shift in ever closer just to test its limits, before there's a hard swallow and shallow draw of breath. His eyes will never leave the lock of the other's.
❝ I d----idn't know.... I had a brother. Or
anything like that. No one t-----old me.❞
He watches every move his brother makes with utmost intent and curiosity; like watching an ant from the other side of a magnifying glass as it burns. There’s a kind of adoration that burns in the pit of his belly for Blue—-burns so much that it almost disgusts him. It isn’t very fair that his twin be born with someone who loves him as much as he does, is it? Not when Nico had been made to serve faithfully, only to be sent down at the first chance his father had. Not very fair at all.
And he has to stop himself from closing in to brush calloused fingertips from his brother’s temple down to ghost over lips so much like his own——the resemblance is too uncanny and he can see the way it confuses Blue just in the way brows wrinkle and mouth pops agape. It’s sad, really, but Nico will simply take another step closer, close enough to be able to reach across the space between them to pick a piece of lint off of Blue’s shirt nonchalantly. It’s a gesture reserved for those who are comfortable with each other, and therefore it’s out of place—but are they not both so out of place in a world not suited for people like them?
❝ I’m Nicodemus. But you can call me Nico——-little brother. ❞

He's been placed onto practiced land with untouched skin; easily bruised
and white as a sheet, he seems to emanate the absolute purity he so tightly
clings to, even without notice. How sad; not even worthy of a name, so he
had to choose one for himself----- Blue, because he'd thought the color to
be a nice one, and it'd been simple as that. So, when he hears it uttered into
the space of the bathroom, there's a startle to his motions and the angel
turns swiftly away from the sink--- eyes in search for the voice's owner.
He can't feel it; doesn't know just how monumental this moment is to the
very mark of his creation--- can only feel the confusion that seems to wash
over his entire being at the sight of a face so like his own. A stranger; did
strangers bear your face? He doesn't understand and there's a hard blink
on wide eyes; brows knit and lips part as he tries to process. His stomach's
stopped spinning now, there's no urge to vomit, but his shoes stumble lightly
and Blue takes one curious step closer to get a better look. Is he okay? Why
would a stranger ask him that? Strangers were often unkind things--- he'd
learned quickly during his short stay; they'd often grow cross with him. Another
step closer; eager to know with a newborn mind so hungry for information;
who is this man with features so strikingly close to his own? And so, God
above and the Devil below watch with bated breath.
❝ W-----ho are you? How do you--- know my name?❞
Blue——the pure color of a clear sky.
Blue——holding or offering little hope; dismal; bleak.
Blue——an angel that harbors his vessel.
Blue——his baby brother.
And what a beautiful baby brother indeed; the fallen has been keeping an eye on this brother of his for quite some time now, hasn’t he? Ever since his cruel FATHER had placed him onto the earth with the shaking knees of a newborn doe and with the purest of souls; Nico has been his watchful protector since the beginning—and maybe there a tinge of jealousy in his stern stare, a smidge of a strange kind of hate that he harbors for his brother because he’s everything he isn’t; not anymore. With his purity still intact and bright white angel wings, Nico, at the same time, wants to wrap arms around him to let the world around them fade away until there is nothing left but them and wants to pluck each individual feather from his wings to leave him bare and raw—-tainted.
This time he’s followed him into a small diner; watching from a distance as he always has as his twin orders food Nico knows he will never be able to stomach and without the knowledge that he does indeed have to pay for everything he’s ordered. He thinks it to be pathetic and watches as Blue rises to retreat into the restroom where he will soon empty the contents of his too-new stomach and Nico follows only a few moments later—this is his chance. He strides to the bathroom with ease and a dark sort of grace, pushes the door open with calloused knuckles to see his mirrored image hovering over the sink with a nervous, bewildered kind of expression; he has to document this moment in his mind because this is the first time he’s even come close at all to his brother, with his frail frame and gold for hair. He cocks a brow and takes careful steps closer, ends up leaning against the wall in front of Blue with arms crossed and something of a curious almost-smile.
❝ You okay there, Blue? ❞

Alone-- as usual, he'd tucked himself into a booth;
had ordered a smoothie and some pancakes that
had been absolutely covered in chocolate sauce.
Far too much for his stomach to handle and it'd
ended in the bathroom--- back bent and leaned over
the basin of the toilet as his stomach heaves and
empties. He's far too thin, but his vessel refuses
nearly all foods; much too new to a full stomach.
Rinsing his mouth in the sink, there's a steady
pang of nervousness that hits him now. Food isn't
free and he doesn't have money---- wouldn't know
how to count money even if he had any. Pitiful.

Seated alone—- would seem totally normal, wouldn’t it?
Except for the fact that he perched atop a car— legs
criss-cross-apple-sauce as he nurses a splinter lodged
deep in his thumb. He tends to get them often— forgets
that wood can do such a thing, but also isn’t all too skilled
in removing them. He’ll shift to lie back; bruised and pale
spine arches under his shirt and he’ll allow shoulder
blades to dig into the roof of the car; eyes watching clouds
sip on the sun and slink across the sky.

Weak stomach heaves— he’s tucked away in the bathroom
to empty the contents of his belly; too much for his body to
consume all at once. One day, he’ll be able to handle it; to
to eat as he so pleases without his stomach tossing and
turning to reject it. Boy—- don’t you see it is the sin that your
vessel isn’t accustomed to!? Gluttony; it’s slow-learned and
until he becomes well-acquainted with human food, Blue will
remain thin and lanky—— ill after a meal that’s more than
simple fruits or vegetables. It’s always the same; vomit and
grow upset—- no crying, just a grimace and fingers in his
hair to calm his mind and still the boiling in his insides, before
he’ll rinse his mouth in the sink. Pitiful, really; it’s the dairy
that gets him every time.

Until you feel your heart begin to harden
into a bullet.
Then use that bullet.

Without much introduction to the sin, Gluttony—- Blue hardly ever feels hungry and doesn’t eat much. He likes fruits a lot; his favorite being clementines and red apples. Other than that, heavier foods have a tendency to make him ill and his vessel will often reject the food. Because of this, he is pretty thin, though not too incredibly malnourished.

Blue bruises terribly easy. His vessel isn’t fragile by any means and he’s quite sturdy, but his skin is new and smooth because it’s been recently gifted to him—- it bruises very easily in places like his knuckles and each dot of his spine because they’re usually leaned against things. Eventually, he’ll become tougher and he’ll stop bruising like a peach.
