View MoreIt’s been about three weeks since the attack at Dismal Rentals. Gray Rivers Alto Yuri’s injury was superficial, but still required a recovery time long enough to leave a multitude of duties to Carmine. For one, their location had been compromised. Break-ins happened all the time in their area, but this attack was targeted, and it was believed that the maniac calling himself Psycho Hermes, would strike again. So, where did they stay? Thanks to the money crunch, their options were limited, but some form of mercy did come in the way of Strawberry Cream’s parents, and one of Carmine’s favorite aunt and uncles. Currant was a well respected general among the Solar Army, having been enlisted since the young age of eighteen. He worked his way up the ranks, and managed to climb all the way to the cushy General’s seat. However, the changeling invasion cost him both his right eye. In the aftermath, he took the option to retire and focus on his family. Currant’s a unicorn, tall, with hair that matches his namesake all long and thrown to the side in a loose money tail. His coat’s white, pristine almost, with a slightly eggshell-ish tone. Then, there was Sakura. An earthen mare, and nearly the spitting image of her comatose daughter. Born in Neighpon, Sakura was a simple bar singer with the most beautiful voice who managed to capture the heart of the young soldier stationed there. She taught herself his language, and confessed her love the day before he left. Since then, they were merely waiting for the day they could be together. Nowadays, they’re still living in the same home theu raised Strawberry in. A decently sized, three story home, with a large dining room and a bedroom for guests. Carmine and Currant had just finished unpacking everything from the Dismal Rentals and set it up nice so that Gray could just get home and relax. “So,” Currant began with a gentle clearing of his throat. “You and him are, uh… sharing this room? Sure you don’t wanna sleep in Berry’s?” The detective cleared his throat and focused on setting out some clothes. “Well, uh… you and Aunt Sakura keep Berry’s room the same. I don’t wanna mess with it none, so… just makes sense— Oogh!” For a kind of smaller guy, Currant sure did have a heavy arm. His hand reached on Carmine’s shoulder for a slap. “Just messing with you, Carmine. I hope you two’re happy. Is he nice?” “Uncle Currant…” Carmine’s hesitance did spark a laugh. The former general continued. “Ah, still shy? Man. Alright, alright.” Little did they know, Gray’s taxi should be pulling up any moment now!

Gray was observing him attentively, little by little he returned to lie passively too. With his head right next to his, one arm and a leg partially draped over and wrapped around Carmine’s in a subtle embrace. “…I know,” Gray whispered to his ear and allowed his eyes to close, only a moment. “I mi...

Gray maintained his painfully awkward grin up until Sakura spewed that last little catchphrase she seemed to share with her daughter. Exactly the same thing Berry had said before… The memory of it, as well as the effect that it had to hear it coming from Berry’s own mother served to spark the laught... View More

Well, it seems everyone had a good laugh… some more than others, but they’d all probably laugh about it come tomorrow. Carmine found it funny just on the basis that Currant did, and Currant’s childish humor was one of his biggest downfalls. “Sorry, my love… I thought you picked up on it!” “Well,” ... View More

Gray intertwined his fingers with Carmine’s. It’d be a little longer until his face returned to its regular color, but he was visibly more relaxed after laughing about it. “We had our own pace going but we’ve had to skip a few key steps…” the actor interjected soon as there was no more food in his m...

“Wait, I can still say no?” Carmine played the notion off with an exaggerated, pondering hum. He showed his cards too early by smiling about it, and *finally* dropped the hint by nudging the actor with basically his entire body. The happy couple across from them exchanged a loving glance.

Since he knew Gray would only get more aggressive as the question went unanswered, he chose priority and briefly tilted the microphone away from him. “It’s Trip Wire— the guy that got conked on the head.” Aaaand back to Trip. “He ain’t a diva.

Trip Wire

Trip rolled his eyes, not that Carmine could see it though, and his tone gave no indication of it either. The only reasonable point Carmine had made –at least from Trip’s perspective— was that, perhaps, Gray would actually be safer if they stuck together. Given what had happened the one time he was...

“Trip Wire?” Gray cocked an eyebrow. So that was the guy’s name…! He was happy that the dude had survived but, “…Who’s a diva?” he blinked. It was easy enough for him to put two and two together. “Am I the diva…? Did he say I was a diva?” the actor’s curious gaze turned into a bit of a glare, he fu... View More

Having been literally caught between the argument, Carmine turtled up until Gray finished with his defense. “Okay, okay children. You both got hurt by the same psycho, so chill.” Backpedaling a little, Carmine rewound the conversation to more important bits… such as the job! Since Trip didn’t off... View More

“Well, it’s not like I’ve never held a gun in my life.” The actor huffed in frustration as he recalled his confrontation with Hermes. “…I couldn’t hit that guy a single time… And even if I had hit him, what if I had killed him?

Once Gray offered an arm, Carmine tightened his grasp and fell back, forcing the two to lay back while they continued to exchange words. So, that was the reasoning behind his training. Carmine didn’t expect them to pull the same stunt twice, but supposedly anything was possible. “That’s sweet, Gr... View More

Obvious traps… what constituted an obvious trap? Gray simply laughed it off nervously and shoved it to the back of his mind. Even if it still worried him that Carmine might be taking things too lightly. There was a big possibility that the detective’s positivity was just a device he was using to kee... View More

Carmine knew well enough that “watch a movie” was really code for “snuggle up and pass out before the credits”, but he still treated his responsibility with as much care as one would with picking a child’s name.

What else could Gray do but to lean into that hand? It was honestly a reflex at this point.

True. The three of them did have an Unbreakable bond between each other, one that could have easily been called ‘family’ a long, long time ago. That’s why he didn’t feel too bad either if it all falls out… at the end of the day, he has Gray and he has Berry. “Don’t apologize. You’re all I need, bu... View More

Effectively, Gray was nodding off more and more frequently. By the end of their talk, he was practically only opening his eyes every once in a while to share a tired smile with Carmine.
