FIRSTBORN

THE ONLY TRUE BLOOD

“YOU ALREADY KILLED HER FISH.”

fernando does not entertain the smile he wears like some beach encrusted crown. instead, he glowers that matias finds no remorse in his actions. even if he tries to play lip service in the commissioner’s name.

“no need to be polite now, herrera. use your adult words–how do you describe someone with that mindset?”

THE ONLY TRUE BLOOD

“THE FIRST SUFFICED,” fernando admits only after matias wipes out from his deluge of insults. like PRIMARINA TWIST on a near perfect roll, his overperformance means nothing toward the primary point.

“is that your assessment, herrerra? that Melody Miro, fellow elite four, a person who would prioritize a relicanth over a groudon we desperately need, is stupid?”

it's difficult to ignore the facts despite his friendship with Melody Miro. while he values it to some degree, he doesn't value it enough to stop him from potentially throwing her under the bus.[break][break]

still, he softens his words.[break][break]

FIRSTBORN

THE ONLY TRUE BLOOD

“CHILDISH. STUPID. IMMATURE.”

fernando repeats the words despite matias’ final choice, all to wrap his head around it. for a moment, it seems his temperament returns. a cold indifference that’s used to protect himself while intimidate those that don’t know better.

and then it unravels.

“and you’re telling me you couldn’t convince her? why the fuck are you parading around as matias silph then, herrera?”

"because i am a silph."[break][break]

he spits, unraveling all the same as he leans forward.[break][break]

"because your parents—our parents—chose me to replace you even if i could have never lived up to their expectations! even if i could have never been their perfect little boy. even if i could have never been you. they still chose me."[break][break]

unwanted memories surface joined by rage, guilt, and sadness. no longer is his false bravado showing before his grin.[break][break]

"that makes me your fucking brother, fernando, and it's time you acknowledge that."

“THEN FUCKING ACT LIKE ONE.” is the most immediate knee-jerk reaction. the rest follows like a run-on sentence, breathed on a comma splice of thinking that comes right after.

“no, no, no. don’t bring your insecurities into this.”

the distaste on fernando’s face is palpable to the bitterest passho berry.

“selfish. insecure. conceited. yes. but don’t pretend to be one of them," he points to the door. “i know you’re not a fucking idiot, herrera. so don’t play stupid.”

a harsh word for a bitter truth that does nothing other than poke and provoke.[break][break]

"do you despise me that much, brother?"[break][break]

“GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS.”

matias may divert his point but fernando remains rigid. conviction tightens his fingers around a palm that drives his point home.

“you and them—for all your fuck ups and stupidity—are all that i have.”

his fist comes down.

“so when you threaten the stability of this institution, you threaten me.”

"threaten you?"[break][break]

he scoffs.[break][break]

"i miscalculated."

a lie. he was ignorant. uncaring. boastful. he cared more about the outcome than the steps he took to achieve it even if it had meant burning bridges. by sheer luck, perhaps, bridges remain intact.[break][break]

"but what's done is done. i can't bring her stupid fish back so why don't you cut me some fucking slack?"

“YOU DON’T CARE.”

fernando does not see through the lie because matias has any tell. he doesn’t even have to rely on what he knows about matias in order to figure out it’s out of character. his basis for his assessment builds on the one thing he’s certain of.

his own projection.

of what a silph should be.

“you getting a fucking suspension is a slap on the wrist. and what do you do with it? prance around like you got fucking lucky.”

matias cares in his own way. he cares about himself far more than he does anyone else. it's the way it always has been and it's the way it will always be.[break][break]

but fernando is right: his suspension is a mere slap on the wrist. it brings little to no consequence to him apart from allowing him more free time.[break][break]

"i didn't get lucky. i played the person."[break][break]

because he knows dahlia goode values results more than the steps taken to get there. he may teeter the line on what is morally right or wrong but he always has the region's best interest in mind.[break][break]

or at least he presents it that way.[break][break]

though he sighs, his frustration never fully fades.[break][break]

"what would you have me do?"

“YOU PLAYED THE SHORT TERM,” he correct with the silent hiss of condescension and foresight.

“groudon has been recovered,” he passes off, as if it hardly registers as an accomplishment. “great. but now you have fractured the trust and disposition of the stupidest and most childish elite four member along with everyone else who will listen to her fucking sob story.”

his eyes center of matias.

“you’re telling me the great matias fucking silph cannot convince a fucking child to reason? can’t bamboozle her to see the same as him?”

he scoffs.

“you’re selfish, not stupid, herrera. if you want to be a fucking silph so fucking bad then act like it. you’re smarter then them so i need you to act like it.”

the click of his tongue sounds a resentful ‘tch’.

“go make amends. squash this issue so it does not bite you in the ass later.”

he waves his hand as if to dismiss him.

“and do not ever make this fucking mistake again.”
