Zackary inhaled loudly, sitting up better in his posture. “I HAAAATE SNEEZING!” He hated sneezing, apparently. He more or less told himself this, as he did every time he sneezed. Cus he hated it.
"Why?" Juliet returned to Zack, Qhuinn in her arms. The boy dropped his toy when he saw Zack and his large wings. Squealing, her reached out for him.
Zackary flopped back down onto the floor with a shuddering sigh, his eyes half-closing again.
“They’re… stupid.”
(Qhinn's just like 'Pay attention to meeee!')
(Qhuinn’s such a swwweeetiiieee)
((I love the precious babe so much))
Whining, Qhuinn squirmed in his mother's arms until she had to put him down. He crawled over to Zack, resting his head on the man's chest as he stared at him with wide blue eyes, giggling. Juliet shook her head at the two. "Could you guys not rest on the floor….in the foyer….right in front of the front door?"
Zackary grabbed the child into a hug and snuggled up to him, grinning. “Let’s sleep here. It’s a wonderous idea.” He beamed.
She folded her arms, smiling. "So you two are gonna stay down here?" She asked as Qhuinn squealed once more, closing his eyes as he smiled at Zack.
Zackary giggled as Qhuinn smiled. “Uhuh. We’ll be fiiine.” He waved a hand. “We’ll stay down here.”
Juliet returned the wave as Qhuinn rested his head in the crook of Zack's neck. She gave a faint smile and went towards the steps. "Alright…" She shrugged. "There's a bottle in the fridge for Qhuinn."
Zackary curled his body up around the child and nestled his head into the smol with a faint croon. He shut his eyes, smiling a bit.
Juliet's heart melted at the sight of the two and she went to her room wearing a smile that held mixed emotions. Gooeyness, joy, and a pang of jealousy. Qhuinn was her baby, she had spent months trying to in his little heart, but Zack comes in and he seems so much happier with him than her. It was petty to feel that way, she knew it. As she opened her laptop and worked, she fought the feeling away.
(Did ya wanna skip or did you want to do more with her research?)
((Skip, plz))
(Yeet to when?)
(Maybe a few days later? I can inject some drama *cough, cough With Todd cough, cough OOH! What if he was a demon who desired a deal with Julie, but Zack got there first. After all, he's only know he for a year))
(YES HELLO I FEEL LIKE I WAS SUMMONED.)
(gRRR NO NO MORE TODD
Todd will die a most painful death if he comes up again extremely high-pitched authot laughing)
((Dang okay XD, what should we do next then?
Todd: Why do you hate meeeeee, dude?))
(I’m being petty for Zack.
Great idea for the thing tho but murder isn’t fun.
Maybe we could skip a few weeks?)
((Yeah. Maybe, Todd walks her home from the store or something and is to Zack, "You're still here? Why?"))
(Imminent murder, my friend.)
((Not with Juliet there it won't be. Maybe she'll wear a sweater that hangs of the shoulder and Zack can flaunt the mark on her shoulder. Todd will back off then))
(Oh I’d like that
Just to see Todd have the shit scared out of him)
((XD))
Juliet rambled about her recent interview with world renowned fashion designer, Vance Dio'nae, as Todd strode beside her, pretending to consume every word she said. On a regular day, he would, the sound of her voice hypnotized him in ways he'd never express. But today….there was a scent about her that was bothering him. It tickled his nose, threatening to make him sneeze.
"It was so appreciate. Vance really tries to capture to essence of a woman, all the complexities and simplicities. It's all very gorgeous. He even got some inspirations from his wife. Isn't that romantic?" She sighed. Todd rolled his eyes. "Only you would think so, baby doll." He nudged her as they came towards her house. She scoffed. "I am not…" she laughed as she fished her keys from her pocket and opened the door. "Put the bags in the kitchen." She told him. Todd nodded and obeyed.
That scent washed over him immediately. What the heck? he thought, scrunching his nose in disgust.
Zackary sulked out of the shadows, reaching out with a skeletal, pale hand, then suddenly siezed Todd’s shoulder, flipping him around so the other man was facing him. He didn’t like the dull, stupid look on his face. It disgusted him more than when he had first seen Todd’s face.
“What the hell is he doing here?” He snapped at Todd, though the question was directed towards Julie.
Juliet looked to Zack as she emptied bags, a twitch in her brow. She hadn't even taken off her coats, already they were at it. "He walked me home from the store and carried my things. I invited him to stay for dinner." She answered him. Todd smirked in satisfaction before pushing past Zack. "Wants some help, baby doll?" He crouched down beside her and began to empty bags as well. "What about you Zackary? What are you doing here?" he tossed the question back at him. I knew I smelled a fish…
Zackary fluffed himself out like an offended lion and thrust Todd away with a boink of his curvy hips.
“I think our guest can stay in the living room for now.” He glared threateningly at Todd, ready to rip him to shreds in the best way possible:
Slowly.
Todd stumbled back, straightening his jacket, his stared daggers at Zack. Juliet sighed. "Yeah, Todd, why don't you chill and turn the TV on. Dinner will be done soon and I'll bring some drinks and stuff in there for you." She smiled. Todd melted a bit. "Yeah, okay- sure." Turning he went into the living room and did as he was told.
Slowly turning her gaze to Zackary, she folded her arms. "You gonna help me empty these bags?"
Zackary glanced at her and smiled. “Yep. How was your day today?” He started to take cans from the bags and set them away.
“Oh, and I’m sorry I didn’t call as much today. Qhuinn and I were having a lot of fun.”
