He meet’s Abel’s faux cheerfulness with a silent stare of his own, ignoring the falseness utterly. Does Abel take him for an idiot?
(Probably. Navs always did.)
“Cut the bullshit,” he says shortly. “What’s the matter with you?”
The question comes out much more brusque than he’d meant it to, and Cain frowns, wondering if he should soften his words. A brief debate, and then he decides that the effort is worth expending on his Navigator.
“I mean… I saw you,” he continues, “I saw your expression. Something’s bothering you.”
Ugh, why is this so difficult and awkward? Cain shifts his weight from foot to foot, starting to get annoyed. He’s not sure if it’s with himself, or with the little blond in front of him.
“Just… what’s wrong, Abel?”
DISTRESS TWISTED HIS SMILE INTO A FICKLE THING, LAUGHTER falling from his weakened tongue. It sounds like plastic, dull & weak & far too deflated to have originated from him; his fighter’s lack of knowledge in comforting another was endearing, but it stuck a wrong chord in him. It made things WORSE, watching Cain leave behind his egotistic mindset in order to soothe the cavity sadness had dug within him; Abel’s forehead falls in SHAME, blond locks masking his dark eyes. He could get out of this himself, couldn’t he? ❝Ah, I guess you did, didn’t you? ❞
HIS HEAD RESTS AGAIN THE STARFIGHTER WITH EASE.His arm comes up to rest atop of his, leaving it’s twin to hang at Abel’s side. ❝Nothing is wrong, Cain,❞ he assures, but that was as much of a LIE as one could be. There was so much that nothing in particular could come to him, not one thing to fulfill his Fighter’s thirst for an answer. Yet another disappointment to add to his jar; he figured he’d need a bigger one, soon. ❝I’ll go see a medic later, if it makes you feel better. Just don’t WORRY about me; I’m alright.❞
He chose this path. This was what he had wanted-- what he had dreamed of being. He worked && he fought, yes, child, he's fought through it all. && this is who he want to be, he knows this is who he must be, but things have changed; he has more to lose, now.
He has so much more to lose, now, boy. He wants to protect everyone, though he's not so sure you can. He have doubt in your heart but he goes on with him because losing is not an option for him. It isn't an option for his partner, either, but it's better that way; he is your fuel. He is your sun.
His name is Ethan, but they've given him the task name 'ABEL.' The fighter he's been paired with has become the force behind his power && his lover. He cannot let him down. This is his chance to protect who he loves.
HE IS THE BOY WITH THE SPIRIT OF ICARUS.
THE FIRES THAT RAGED THROUGH ALEXANDRIA STARTED AT YOUR FINGERTIPS (ECLIPSE.)
He can't control it; he isn't who he is supposed to be. He is wrong for what he does, he know this & it's painful, not being able to stop hurting everyone he knows. He might kill each person in his path, & he's determinded to fight fire with fire. & If it is himself that stands in his way, then it is him that must perish.
BETWEEN THE PAGES OF FATE (MODERN.)
He is a boy who lives in his dreams. His life is built on them, just as his books are. A writer, a famous one at that, he is, though he says he only publishes his dreams to share with others. He hold each dream dear to him & does not believe that they aren't anything less than visions. He does not understand them, nor do many others; but he knows the future sits in his palms.
WITH A HALO THE COLOR OF SIN (GANGSTA.)
( based off the SF fic, By Your Side )
A tough battle it's always been, between the Alliance LLC and the Colteron. He stands as a Navigator, a normal, paired with a twilight he was supposedly obliged to name his Fighter. A war for territory, against anti-twilights that plage the lands; is the fight worth it?
&& WHAT IF THE STORM ENDS (SNK.)
They were forced to do it. After the serum had been leaked to create titan shifters out of orphaned children, they had no other choice. They made a sub-group within the Scouting Legion, of which goes by the name The Alliance. They call their soliders Navigators, their shifter to be Fighters. They train the atifcials into war objects, into weaponry they had chain to bed. It is where he works, where he trains with a shifter named Cain. They've become one of the best, but one of them is bound to die.
