Kazimir "Kaz" Maslov Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Kazimir paced back and forth outside of Joe's. He wasn't accustomed to feeling unease, but the last few days weren't ordinary for him by any measure of the word. He was emotional, frustrated, and quite frankly unsure of how to proceed. But he had to, and that was why he stood outside her home now. Stopping, he sucked in a sharp breath of air before calling out, "Joe!" @Morrigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Sousa Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 It took a second despite the place being small. Joe had to get up out of bed. She stared at her pants for a second but decided, fuck it he's seen me naked before anyways, and went to open the door. "Keep it down will ya. I've got neighbors," she indicated to the people to either side. @Grimscythe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazimir "Kaz" Maslov Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 "We've all got neighbors," Kaz replied smartly, looking at her. He did his best to keep his eyes on her face; he had done enough damage already. "We gotta talk. About a lot of things." He wasn't the best when it came to displaying emotions. Kazimir wanted to reach out and touch her face, to kiss her lips. But he also knew this wasn't the time. He had to fix things as best he could, after already wrecking her relationship. @Morrigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Sousa Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 "These aren't you're fucking neighbors are they. What the fuck do you want Kaz?" she huffed angrily. @Grimscythe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazimir "Kaz" Maslov Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 Kazimir frowned and remained silent for a long moment. The corners of his mouth twitched as if he fought the smirk that usually curled his lips. His gaze fixed on hers. "Does it matter what I want?" he responded snidely. He took a step closer to her. "Joe, I'm being serious right now. I'm sorry I wrecked your relationship, but if you think I'm going to let you go that easily, you're wrong. We need to talk about your father." @Morrigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Sousa Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Joe huffed angrily and rolled her eyes before she moved to the side. "Come in and fucking keep it the fuck down okay?" @Grimscythe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazimir "Kaz" Maslov Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 "That's easy enough," Kaz murmured, and then he stepped past her. He was careful not to touch her. His gaze swept the room before he found a place to sit. He didn't say much. The ranger was at a loss for words, stuck in a situation he wasn't used to. Fucking a girl and dropping her the next day was surprisingly easy, but this? This wasn't. When he finally spoke, his voice was heavy with the weight of his worries. "We need to take the risk and explore the surface, Joe. Even if it means we might die; it's better than living in tunnels. There are houses out there, and beds, And perhaps even peace and quiet, if you get far enough away. Tell me what your father said, and not the cliff notes version." A smirk toyed with his mouth at that remark. The troubles of the past were distant memories, but still there all the same. @Morrigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Sousa Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 "He didn't say much Kaz. You'd be better to see him where he's being held then talkin' ta me. He just said that he's been working at a place called the carnival on the surface for ten years," she shrugged. "What the fuck more do you want from me? I'm as pissed at my dad as I am at you and everyone keeps telling me he's gotta be dying." @Grimscythe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazimir "Kaz" Maslov Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 "I've already told you what I want from you," Kazimir said. "You're just too stubborn to actually believe it, and I can't blame you. I don't have the best history with women, and perhaps it's better that way. But damn it Joe, if you really want me to go away I will." He let those words linger for a moment as he watched her. He was angry too. It could be seen in the way his jaw tensed when he was quiet, almost as if he were grinding his teeth together. Kazimir drew in a deep breath and exhaled. "I suppose I'll have to go chat with your father then," he decided out loud. @Morrigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazimir "Kaz" Maslov Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) "Why would I want it back?" @Morrigan Edited September 26, 2020 by Grimscythe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Sousa Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 "Kaz. I like you. You're one of the better ones to go to the surface with but I feel like I really fucked up that night. I ruined me and Ilia and I ruined my friendship with you. It doesn't feel right to have it really. You keep saying crazy shit like you want to be with me and we both know that's bullshit that you're saying so I don't kick yer ass." @Grimscythe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazimir "Kaz" Maslov Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 "So you don't believe me then," Kazimir said, furrowing his brow. He rose to his feet suddenly, approaching her. At that moment, perhaps he wanted his ass kicked. He reached for her, fingers seeking to cup her face as he leaned toward her to steal a kiss. "Keep the tequila. If you want me gone, I'll go. Just know that if you change your mind, I'll be waiting." After that night, he knew that he didn't want anyone else, He hadn't tried to go for another girl, and in fact he'd spent the last couple nights alone. @Morrigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Sousa Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Joe wasn't sure if it was because she missed Ilia or wanted Kaz that the kiss felt so good. She knew if she pursued it that whatever she had with Ilia was gone and in the dust and she wasn't sure she was ready for that. "Fuck Kaz. Why do ya gotta make this so god damn hard? I had everything figured out a few weeks ago. Now I don't even know what day it is sometimes." @Grimscythe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazimir "Kaz" Maslov Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 Kazimir didn't draw his hand back immediately. Instead, he ran the pad of his thumb over her cheek gently. His stare carried a sincerity he rarely expressed. "What's the point in even knowing the day?" he asked. "Especially down here?" He wanted to kiss her again, but he didn't want to push her either. Even if her lack of clothing made it harder to resist those carnal desires. "I don't think it's as difficult as you think. You have a choice to make, and three options to choose between. I can step back and let you try and repair things with that nerd, I can step up and be your companion and equal, or you can go off on your own. Just know that if you choose the second one, I will do everything in my power to see to it that you find a modicum of happiness in this shitty ass world." @Morrigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
