One More Night (PoisonousIvee/Mr.Aznable)

[Mr.Aznable]

They scowled and changed back to their formally dressed, but androgynous form. "Hun, you could scratch me once before I erased you from existence." They said. "I'm here to try and help. Give you shit for it, but still, try and help."

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Whale, you're doing a bang up job so far.." He grumbled.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

They rolled their eyes and placed their hand on his head, and the pain began to lift away from him.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

His wings folded gingerly and he pushed himself up, rubbing his nose slowly, "Thanks.."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"Of course, hun." They said, grinning deviously.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He scowled faintly, "What?"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"Nothin, hun. Just fond memories.. after all, ain't the first time I've picked you up off the floor..~" they said with a smile.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He looked away, as if ashamed, "Don't remind me.."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

They smiled again. "Why not? Didn't have fun?" They asked.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"I had a terrible time." He replied dryly.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

They made a noise and shook their head. "You think you did, hun, I remember it a little differently.. but, neither here nor there.. you both'll be seeing more of me~" they said, before vanishing.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He made a dissatisfied noise before forcing his wings back into the tattoo. He sighed softly and stood, moving to the bedroom.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

Raven was already asleep, exhausted from the whole ordeal.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He crawled into bed and held her gently, brushing some hair from her face softly.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She held onto him, breathing steadily as she relaxed a bit under his touch

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He rested his forehead gently against hers, his fingers coiling gently around her hair as he closed his eyes. He had to try and do better for her, but overcoming his nature would be hard.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

Whether their relationship improved after that, is hard to say. It definitely changed, but for the better? That was to be seen.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He stayed home, as he usually did, ignoring the siren call of his booze, the withdrawals becoming terrible but he did his best to ignore them.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She was.. well, she was there. She went to work, went home, went to bed, but it was all still.. quite a bit.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Raven," he hadn't really left his spot at the kitchen table in all that time, "we need to talk.."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She sat down, looking as emotionless as she had been recently. "Yes?"

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He frowned softly, "Look, I...I get it if this is too much for you...you don't have to tough it out for my sake. I won't beg, I won't cry, tell me to go and I'll go.."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"Derek, I.." she began. She shook her head, at a loss for words. "I'm.. I dont even know where to begin.."

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Try.." He said gently, "I won't rush you."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"You lied to me about almost everything I thought I knew about you.. and to cover up those lies, you drank, and we fought and screamed constantly. I have been worried sick about your drinking habits for years, and after all that, all that. You sit me down and say you're thinking about leaving? Without even so much as an attempt to make it up to me?" She asked.
