SAINTS (1x1 w/DarkMukip)

[DarkMudkip]

"Don't tell me I'm suddenly super ugly..." Sasuke said quietly, before his eye peeled open to glance at her.

 

[Jikkah]

“I’m afraid so.” She said with a serious nod. “There’s no other choice, you’ll have to start wearing your mask to bed.”

 

[DarkMudkip]

He gave a dissatisfied click of his tongue, his eye closing again, "Well I'll just go fuck myself, I guess.."

 

[Jikkah]

The bed shifted as she crawled closer to him, leaning over him, propped against the bed. “You wouldn’t have to do it yourself if you just asked..” She said in a teasing tone.

 

[DarkMudkip]

He looked up at her and smiled a bit, "It's that easy?" He asked, equally as teasing.

 

[Jikkah]

“Not really, but seeing your smile is really nice.” She said, watching him, just studying his features. “I think I see a grey hair though.”

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Please don't say that, that's like two or so years off my life span." He said, smiling uneasily, "I don't wanna croak before my time."

 

[Jikkah]

“What’s wrong with having white hair?” She asked, moving to lay beside him again, her shoulder pressed against his.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"For you, nothin." He said, turning his head slightly, "For me, everything.."

 

[Jikkah]

She frowned, knowing a bit of what suppressants did to hair and even sometimes skin color. “How long were you with Matsunaga?” She asked softly.

 

[DarkMudkip]

He shook his head, looking up at the ceiling, "I don't know...it felt like centuries..."

 

[Jikkah]

She frowned softly, turning her head to look up at the ceiling as well. “Do you… want to talk about it..?”

 

[DarkMudkip]

"If you wanna hear about it...I don't remember too much...I was doped up most of the time.." He replied.

 

[Jikkah]

She felt regret for being nosy. “I’m sorry, if you don’t want to talk about it, we don’t have to.” She said, looking at him.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"It isn't that...I genuinely just don't remember a lot of it.." He replied, "I remember meeting Matsunaga and bargaining for your safety...I remember them harvesting me..." He rubbed his shoulder absently, "I barely remember Aki getting me out.."

 

[Jikkah]

“I’m sorry you went through all of that..” She said softly. “What happened after..?”

 

[DarkMudkip]

"After I got out, I holed up in...uh...well, he's not exactly a friend...but Aki asked him to help me, so he did.." He replied, "I stayed at his place for a while before I reunited with dana.."

 

[Jikkah]

She listened silently, a soft frown on her face. “I’m glad you made it, and I’m sorry..” She said.

 

[DarkMudkip]

He shook his head, "I did it for you...or at least I thought I was.."

 

[Jikkah]

“Matsunaga tricked us both.” She said, shaking her head. “I should’ve known better.” She said. “It’s what he’s good at- was good at.” She corrected.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Yeah," he still couldn't believe what Akihime had done, "good riddance, I suppose.."

 

[Jikkah]

“It’s not like we were gonna let him go anyway..” She said with the shake of her head. “He.. Sold me off to go fight- but that much I’m sure you know.”

 

[DarkMudkip]

"I had an inkling..." He replied, "He wouldn't just give you away as food...despite how he felt, you were more valuable than that."

 

[Jikkah]

It was weird to hear, that despite what he told he in the end, he still saw value in her. “Then I met Yan in China, I was about to have my arm removed, they were taking an arm from everyone…”

 

[DarkMudkip]

He scowled softly, "What for...?" He asked, "That's barbaric.."
