"You should not be here, Cardinal."
The voice is no more than a deep rumble, one that should make the hair at the back of Terzo's neck stand, but instead draws him in, makes him look for its owner. There, a big, big ghoul, hood pulled down low on his black mask, leans against one of the library's heavy bookshelves.
"It was open," Terzo answers with a smirk, eyes roaming over the hellspawn considering him a few strides away.
"It was not."
There is a shimmer of something in the ghoul's voice, one that tells Terzo he's willing to indulge the human standing before him. With a lazy shrug, he twirls a hairpin between his fingers.
"It was once I was done."
There's a symbol embroided in the ghoul's robe, one that Terzo has never seen on any other uniform. The omega symbol, his brain supplies.
"You live up to your reputation," the ghoul comments, taking a few steps in Terzo's direction. Up close, he's even taller. Terzo has to crane his head back to look at him in the eyes.
"I have a reputation ?" he grins, swiping a hand through his hair.
Of course, Terzo is well-aware he does. But he's curious what the ghoul heard about him.
"They say there's a troublesome, rebelious Cardinal winning everyone over. Papa's little brother."
The ghoul shifts, leans toward Terzo ever-so-slightly, like he's trying to gauge his reaction. He gets a nonchalent chuckle for his troubles.
"Interesting. And what would you say ?"
The ghoul is close enough that Terzo can feel the warmth radiating off him, see the steady rise and fall of his broad chest.
"I say there's a brat who sneaked into the library and disturbed the peace and quiet I was finally getting."
That startles a laugh - a full laugh - out of Terzo. Not many dare to speak of him like that ; especially not ghouls and especially not to his face. It is strangely welcome.
"You're bold."
"I could say the same about you," the ghoul points out, head tilting to the side. Terzo hums.
"True. Then, may I be so bold as to enquire for your name ?"
The ghoul chuckles, but there's a genuine note of surprise in it.
"What makes you think I have one ?"
Terzo raises an eyebrow.
"I know you ghouls have names. Just because the Ministry fails to acknowledge it doesn't mean I don't know better."
The ghoul doesn't answer immediately, crossing his arms in front of his chest, thoughtful. Then he shrugs, the wide plane of his shoulders rising with a disciplined sort of elegance.
"I'm called Omega."
Ah, hence the symbol then. Terzo smirks and holds his hand out.
"Omega. I'm Terzo. It is a pleasure to meet you."
Omega takes his hand with less hesitation than Terzo expected, his rough, calloused palm swallowing Terzo's much smaller one, wide metal rings pressing softly against his skin. With a cheeky grin, he raises the ghoul's hand to his face - not quite kissing it, but bringing Omega's knuckles close enough to his mouth to suggest it. The ghoul huffs, letting his hand drop once Terzo let go of it.
"Run along, Terzo Emeritus. Whatever you hoped to find in here, you won't, not tonight."
There's a smile colouring his words, even if Terzo can't see it. He grins in answer.
"Oh, I think I found it already."

Just listened to "Want it so BAD", the new song by Han and Lee Know and, after reading the lyrics twice, let me tell you:
If there's still people who claim they're just friends, I'll lose my faith in humanity. Those guys are the real delulu here because what the fuck? With this song they basically confirmed everything we've heard since debut and screamed to the world they're, in fact, very much in love and not in a platonic way. They're married, your honour. This song basically confirms it, it states firmly and without a shadow of doubt that MINSUNG is fucking REAL and it has been since the survival show.
So for all those who don't agree with it, go argue with the wall. Us, the minsung whores and defenders, are going to fucking celebrate this gift to humanity.
Now lets focus on the parts where they specifically mention their first meeting, something we've heard from both of them in skz episodes, but now the uncensored version.
Minho: "I fell in love with you unexpectedly, couldn't get any work done, so many thoughts in my head keep me awake at night, spring snuck into my heart and left me frozen with excitement, i'm not used to it i know it's pain but i really want it so BAD" 😭😭😭😭😭 this is so minsung pre-debut coded omg, he's so fucking cute in the early states of love. knowing he was going to suffer but he loved him so much he just kept going.
Jisung: "Ride, come closer, just the two of us"🥺🥺 "together we make a whole romantic comedy movie" "let's get is started, getting anxious, can't think straight" "love you, i wanna place mysef in a spot next to you" "i'll hold you tight and say i've always been waiting for this moment" "the moment I first saw you, it was meant to be. For me, it's you"💀💀💀💀💀my man wasn't even being subtle here, he didn't try
In conclusion: Minsung is more real and solid that my parents' marriage and anyone who disagrees please come and kiss my ass. thank you❤
