as guilty as them? matias? he barks out a laugh that's dripping in condescension.[break][break]

"when you've been fighting for as long as i have, you eventually realize that some deaths don't mean as much as others."[break][break]

some are unfortunate. some are needed. he wonders where his own death would fall under.[break][break]

a moment's pause allows his voice to soften. slightly, but enough as he lowers to meet her gaze.[break][break]

"what did you think i was, livy? some saint? some hero that's sworn to protect hoenn and its people? fuck no."[break][break]

far from it, that much he has long known for he has never thought of himself in any other light. right or wrong doesn't matter. what matters is what he feels and what he desires.[break][break]

"the only reason i'm here is because of them. them. nothing and no one else."[break][break]

a truth he has yet to share even with those closest to him.[break][break]

"I thought you were human. You know, like something with an actual fucking heart."
[Break][break]
Instead, he was some carcass, crawling to life with one sole purpose she hadn't fully understood. Maybe, a month ago, she would've swallowed the fact without much of a shrug. Matias never pretended to be something he wasn't.
[Break][break]
But after all they've been through. After everything. For some damned reason, the words didn't quite settle. They stirred restlessly. Helplessly.
[Break][break]
"Why...why are you so hell-bent on them? Are they really worth that much to you? Enough to stake everything on it?"
[Break][break]
Even your humanity?

maybe what he had said was true at some point in time but now they are half-truths at best, for he has found purpose beyond team rocket and beyond the immense HATRED he feels towards them. in that regard, he supposes he is more human.[break][break]

"i've fought them and hated them for the better half of my life."[break][break]

he admits with a breath.[break][break]

"what would you have me do? i'm already the monster many think i am, including you."[break][break]

not even all his pr stunts and efforts could change that perception of him. he's the monster responsible for countless lives lost in the battle of littleroot. he's the monster who betrayed his best friend and turned on him when they needed him the most. he's the monster who burned bridges and a fish just for a shot at power.[break][break]

he shrugs a shoulder.[break][break]

"might as well embrace that shit so no one else has to bear that burden."[break][break]

“You’re acting like a monster. There’s a difference.”

[break]

[break]

Deep down, she didn’t want to believe it so. Penelope wasn’t naïve enough to believe people are naturally good by default, but at the very least, they weren’t downright evil. They were gray—a mishmash of blacks and whites and speckles of red inbetween.

[break] [break]

She was no different.

[break]

“Don’t be delusional. You don’t have to carry the burden alone. There are people around you who are willing to help. Hell, I’m sure they want to help, but you won’t let them.”

Eva Morales, kyle lopez, others...? Hopefully?

almost too quickly, ENVY bubbles to HATRED like concoctions in a cauldron, each one as volatile as the other and each one ready to pop.[break][break]

"i don't fucking want the help! i never did!"[break][break]

he snaps forward to grab her by her arm, grip increasingly tighter with every passing second.[break][break]

"Apparently you fucking do."
[Break][Break]
Penelope doesn't let his grip phase her. She doesn't let anything phase her. Willing her features still, she looked to pull herself closer, close enough to feel the lick of his flame.
[Break][Break]
"Because, for some god-forsaken reason, we're in this shit together."
[Break][Break]
The jades granules, the spirits, their vision of death -- their fates had become tangled beyond belief. A mess that couldn't be undone.
[Break][Break]
She could feel her heart lurch against her chest. It burned, it hurt, it yearned. There was no hiding from it.
[Break][Break]
"I can't let you fall."

they are intertwined in more ways than he feels comfortable with. in fact, it's almost damning because no matter how hard he wrenches or pushes she's always there, stuck to him because of her innate desire to help.[break][break]

it's infuriating.[break][break]

"why? because i'm your ticket to power?"[break][break]

the jades. untamable spirits. moltres.[break][break]

"Are you fucking kidding me? Of course not."
[Break][break]
The lie tasted like iron on her tongue. She knew the truth -- it wore on her every second they stood there, his arm tied around hers, bodies nearly pressed onto one another.
[Break][break]
But, as with everything else, she swallowed it down. She'd die before admitting him right.
[Break][break]
Her good nature made for proper concealment. It shrouded the innate desires that festered, relentless with its growth.
[Break][break]
"Why can't you just trust me? Why can't it just be as simple as I actually want to help you? Like you've done for me."

She stared back at him. Her expression was indiscernible. A mixture of emotions that extended far beyond the envy that inflicted their minds.
[Break][break]
Voice low, she spat out a response.
[Break][break]
"You act like you know me so well."
[Break][break]
Her eyes narrowed.
[Break][break]
"If the roles were reversed, what would you do? Would you stay?"
[Break][break]
Even after the jades, and the power, and everything else they found themselves bleeding over.
