In our Blood [Tag: Cybrid]

Viper... well, that doesn't really make a difference to 'reptile'. Kilian forced himself not to speak out his thoughts loudly. "Viper? Okay. I'm Cybrid, if you care." He looked at Viper one more moment before he stood up and went back on his way to his bed. His thoughts went back on Fenrirs adise to hold on to their names because maybe they would be the last things they would have.
Seemed like his baby brother disagreed. He almost got the same opinion because his own name didn't mean anything to him anymore, but what he didn't like about this was the fact he hated his given nickname. But he doubted bridleing would help, so why not accepting and zip it...
"You and your brother..." Kilian stopped and turned around again, glancing at Viper with a careful look. "... you're not meant to be here. It creeps me out someone managed to lock both of you up." He could read in Vipers eyes there was something dangerous within, desregarding his detached face and behaviour. It was scary someone was able to catch guys like them - but more delicate was that they didn't care if they put them with him and the other workers here inside. What a nightmare.

"Trust me, this is maybe the last thing I would do on purpose", Kilian replied placating and went on to his bed. When he layed down he heared Vipers words drawing circles through his mind. Monsters like us... When Kilian talked about himself it came easy to him claiming himself as a monster, but hearing others speaking like that was strange. Sure, Viper and his siblings were way different than the other workers he met, supernatural beings and not from this world. But were they came from maybe it was normal being like... well, the way they were. Some aspects of their behaviour surely weren't part of this world, but everything else?
"When did you reach the point refering yourself and your siblings as 'monsters'?", Kilian asked half loud, not meaning to offend anyone, he became curious why a supernatural would call himself like that. "Did you start it or somebody else?" He clutched his blanket and listened into the darkness. He hoped Viper wouldn't be pissed because of his nosiness. Kilian closed his eyes for a second.
"Describing oneself as a monster is way easier than being called like that by someone else."

Kilian listened to Vipers statement of not being Fenrir with narrowed eyes. “Could be. But you’re still his brother.” He didn’t add that he had a very low trust in Fenrir so far, it was unnecessary and obvious. He expected his roommate to return to his own bed with giving him this I-don’t-give-a-fuck-gaze he already knew from his brother, but the so called ‘reptile’ didn’t show the slightest inclination to get up and instead just settled down on his own mattress and commented about it.
Kilian was kind of surprised and insecure about what was his point, but hid it as well as he could beyond a clinical face. Was that only an ascertainment Viper just experienced or like back in high school when the popular kid just took what he wanted from the weaker one, like a hint to state he occupied it by now to show Kilian his place in hierarchy?
“You can take it”, Kilian gave back sullenly. “I will not sleep anyway in the near future.” Not here. Not in this place and not in this room. After all he was used not to sleep a lot, having dark shades under his blue eyes which could proof it. He learned to keep himself awake. Coming a bit closer Kilian shortly dropped his gaze on Vipers face. “It would be more of use for you than for me I guess”, he added, noticing the guy looked more tired than he actually felt, even if it was hard to figure out on his blandly expression.

Vipers grab took Kilian just by surprise and he ungainly lurched on his bed immediately. With a mixture of indignation and way more unawareness of what the hell just happened and what he could do about it he stared at Viper who managed to make a second elopement impossible. Normally what he said next would have pushed Kilian back into his well-known stadium of disillusionment and heavy worries – but surprisingly this wasn’t the case this time. Instead it was like the guy pointed out something he already knew what made him kind of irksome. The only thing what really made him feel awkward was when Viper was that close he could feel his warm breath on his skin, muffled speaking in his ear as his lips liminal swiped him. Inclining his head Kilian even sensed Vipers fragrance, the supernatural part of him connected with Sváfas longing for precious cosmical presences even conceived it in a quiet heady way.

Irritated by that and Viper himself Kilian closed his eyes and waited, but then the other guy was gone as fast as he grabbed him. He instantly got up and followed him with his eyes how he reached his own bed, still his broad hint in mind. He had to admit he didn’t get the impression Viper was someone pushing people around like Fenrir would probably do so far, but he still scrutinized his motives and nature.
“I may be a scaredy cat”, Kilian said suddenly with steady voice and a strange dark undertone he only got when Sváfa made him to show his vicious side, but this time he used it voluntarily. “… and I may seem naive, but don’t underestimate me.”

At first Kilian said nothing. Vipers snickering surprised him, it was maybe 1 of 3 hints this guy really held any emotions behind his mask, not to mention his smirk – it didn’t matter how small it was. Seeing this strange difference Kilian asked himself if Viper just was the bland type by nature or if there wasn’t a lot to smile about in his life in general. Foolish question… just take a look around and remember where you are - and what he just told you! Of course there wasn’t anything amusing. His mental nonsense proofed he was too tired to think seriously about anything anymore. Slapping himself mentally Kilian fell face down on his pillow and sighed. Maybe he was lucky and would choke while falling asleep.
“Believe it or not, I am only trying to avoid unnecessary trouble like having a stupid fight over a bed what wouldn’t be worth it. So surrendering it to you would have been the most logical thing”, he responded tiredly, his voice muffled by the pillow. In addition there were a lot of other beds around, he would have picked another one. And if Viper really believed his bed was better than his own, then why refusing? He didn’t even have a comparing to other beds so he could have complained.
Kilian sluggishly turned his head until he could see right over to the other male lying on his bed and staring at the ceiling. He still wondered Viper thought he wasn’t naïve. He didn’t reckon this, more the opposite like usual. And he didn’t reckon he would appreciate it.
