Twisting the Wrist [Augy/Kris/Cor]

[Augusta Davingoun]

Unlike Aione, Augusta felt like he a sinking. Like he was the Titanic in slow-motion. Like everything he had worked for was slipping away. But it was like his body wasn't connected to his brain. His hands kept moving, even though his head wanted him to stop. He was a stereotypical guy after all. Once he was going he found it hard to stop himself. Like running and then trying to come to a complete stop. It was harder then Hell to do. When the dark haired man felt the arms around his neck he pushed Aione down, not hard, but enough to get her on her back, with him towering over her.

The lick to the side of his face must have been his breaking point. He could not control himself now, with his name said like that. This was murder. He leaned in and gave her a good French kiss, which was by far, his specialty. He let his hands wander for a good time, feeling every inch of Aione. His drunken stupor making this seem fun and enjoyable. But really... Trying to tell this to Kris (if he even bothered to tell) was going to be harder then ever. If he ever forgave himself for that matter.

Without hesitation or care in the world Augusta sat up on his knees and stripped off his shirt. His skin was heavily scarred, only his arms were left untouched by the signs of abuse, and of course, the one on his face was by far the most prominent. But the ones on his back were long and thick, whip marks most likely. He let Ai gaze for a bit before going back in for the kill, the air getting steamy as the made out. They were practically vacuum-sealed to each other at this point.

[Kristopher Roberts]

"Looks like somebody is busy..." The Boogie spoke out loud, but made sure the ones inside couldn't hear him. "How long has this been going on, you think...?"

Kristopher almost jumped out of his shoes by the sudden touch on his shoulder. Having been ready to leave the room, he look straight ahead and all he could see was black and white. Slowly he looked up with tearful eyes and gazed at Cor who was now looking on at the show. Then just as quickly, he looked back down. Blushing from the memory of the day before and ticked as well. But now with Augusta giving out pay back in a matter of speaking hurt...and the blush vanished.

The words he spoke stun the blond's heart. "I don't know." He said in a low voice, defeated. "Not long..." He decided to avoid the thought of Augusta having met up with Ai more then once like Corvus words seemed to be directed towards. He wanted to ask Corvus suddenly if he knew if this was the only time or not...but he didn't. Instead he reached up and touched the gloved hand on his shoulder.

"Augusta-kun."

Kristopher pushed Corvus hand away from his shoulder gently and pulled away, walking away from the scene by a few steps. The voice of Ai was enough to make him seriously depressed. He wrapped his arms about his body then, closing his eye.

"I don't know what to do...I could...could stop it...but then Augusta." His voice sounded shakey, weak with having seen Augusta bending over Ai, pushing her to the ground. It wasn't right, he shouldn't be touching her---she shouldn't be touching him! Not at all!

The little green monster popped up inside of his head, telling him it's alright if he took a chair to her head. But he couldn't do that...be violent like a boogie.

"He doesn't...he doesn't know what he is doing..." He whispered to himself more then anything, but Corvus would be able to hear him, the other two not.

[Corvus "Raven" Hunter]

Normally, Cor would have been thrilled by this situation. Augusta, the guy Kris chose over him day in and day out, was cheating on his fiancee with a young girl. It was way to perfect. The only thing that ruined this moment was the fact that it was completely ruining Kris, which really sucked...even if it was Augusta's fault this time. The older man turned once his hand was pushed away, watching Kristopher wrap himself up in himself.

Oh boy.

"Kris..." the Boogie walked away from the lattice and reached for Kris's shoulder again. If he were any kind of intelligent, he would take advantage of this situation, lie about what he was hearing in his head and turn it to his advantage. The only problem was he wasn't that intelligent at the moment...he was to worried about his human. So rather then lie, he was going to help. At least to the extent of keeping Kris from doing something rash.

The gloved hand squeezed on the boys small, skinny shoulder reassuringly. "When you're that hammered, you normally don't know what you're doing. I'm sure that Aione isn't normally like this either, right?" Corvus' eyes narrowed. "You weren't yourself when you were drunk." That wasn't really a lie, but it wasn't really the truth. It was an un-truth, if anything.

"I'm sure he still loves you...if I'm wrong, I swear I'll take of it."

That wasn't a threat. That was a promise.

[Aione Higurashi]

As soon as Augusta's body brought her to the ground, Aione knew exactly where this was going.

She let out another purr, latching herself to him again with a hungry look in her eyes. Damn he was a good kisser: everything she'd ever hoped for and more. The young woman shivered as he pulled back, blinking, expecting something bad to happen, such as a sober-epiphany. Instead he removed his shirt, causing Ai's semi-innocent heart to leap up to her throat. He was ripped, literally in the muscle sense...and in the sense that he was sliced up worse than a scratching post.

She'd seen the scars before, and the hell-o-hot muscles, but for some reason she never got used to it. "Shit..." Aione murmured, reaching a hand up to touch on the the markings on his chest before he lowered and took her mouth again.

I want you. I want you. I want--

Stop it!!!! Stop it!!! Stop it!!!

Aione winced at the sudden stabbing pain in her head, pushing it back by digging her fingers into Augusta's back and hitching her leg to his waist. Little Ai-chan was finally winning here. She wasn't about to let her senses return...not before she had Augy all to herself. Not before she was his...

Her hands moved to pull at her blouse buttons, managing to get the first two before she let out a low, seductive hiss. "T-Take me..."

[glow=red,2,300]Stop it!!!![/b][/color][/glow]

[Augusta Davingoun]

Augusta felt that little high again, a warm feeling inside. He smiled and kissed Ai again and again, lusty and a bit rough for her, but he was very very drunk after all. She kept making noise though, unbuttoning er blouse buttons. He kissed her cheek, then down to her neck. Then he felt something that made him kind of ill, something odd.

"I don't want you leaving me--e--even if I'm a selfish-no-good-worthless-brat-of-a-boy."

"Love, I'm always the odd-one-out but I don't mind it so much. I got you with me. So it doesn't matter so much."

Augusta leaned down and put his head down on her shoulder. He wrapped his arms around her in a hug as he glasses slipped off his face. Augusta just kept flashing back to those moments. His black hair needed another haircut, he was hungry, he was so stupid and got way too drunk. He felt his knees give out on him as he just laid down on top of Aione.

"Makes you look even more charming then you are."

"I just want you to be happy..."

The Frenchman just laid there holding Aione in his arms, hugging her tightly. He buried his head into the crook of her neck and began to silently cry. He shivered and his shoulders shook just slightly. He just needed this, arms to cry in. He just needed a warm set of arms, he was so damn needy sometimes. So he just kept crying, he didn't think he could take much more of this.

"It's alright. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere, you know that Augusta. I'm here with you through the thick and thin."

Augy lifted his head, his face close to hers, tears running down his face he looked down at Ai with a pathetic look. " I--I'm sorry Aione... I-I...I know you love me... But I love Kristopher... And if I d--do this... I don't t--think I could g--go back..." He laid back down and the words he had said were loud enough for Kris and Corvus to hear. But he still laid next to Aione, using her a a big warm pillow to cry into.

"I love you too, but you already know that."

Then he smiled just a little bit. He sat up and held his head. He slowly stood and held out his hand to Aione, to help her up.

[Kristopher Roberts]

"Kris...When you're that hammered, you normally don't know what you're doing. I'm sure that Aione isn't normally like this either, right? You weren't yourself when you were drunk. I'm sure he still loves you...if I'm wrong, I swear I'll take of it.

Somehow he doubted that. He really doubted Corvus words on the subject at hand, but he was certain he would take care of the issue if it all went to hell in a hand basket. But the blond didn't say a word, no. He was distracted by his own thoughts as he stood there, pulled at a stray curl as he sometimes did when distressed. He didn't mind that Cor was close behind him, squeezing his shoulders when he really should.

Afterall, he and Cor had the same adventure not long ago. But what made it really worse was that Ai had admitted she loved him and wanted Augusta. There was a lot of things Ai could do for Augusta that Kris couldn't, he realized that and he couldn't hold it against Augusta if he did pick Ai suddenly after today. He would survive it if Augusta came up to him later today, handed him the watch and said to find someone else. It's happened before, what would be different then? Other then the fact Augusta would have a woman...

It hurt to even think about it. It really did.

By then, he heard the crying and knew who was shading the tears. He turned his head to view the scene, but with Corvus standing behind him, he couldn't see the lattice or even past it. Augusta was crying and Kristopher didn't go to him. He couldn't.

" I--I'm sorry Aione... I-I...I know you love me... But I love Kristopher... And if I d--do this... I don't t--think I could g--go back..."

He seriously, couldn't go to him. Not now. Not after hearing all of that, it made his heart sink. Not because Augusta said he loved Kris but because of what happened between him and Cor. It would of been---easier if Augusta had just played the cheating game too. But unlike Augusta, Kristopher had failed at saying no. Failed at stopping any of it even when he was drunk.

He wouldn't lie either, he had wanted Corvus for a long time and acted on it when he shouldn't of...and liked it.

He looked back towards the door before him, "I don't think being drunk matters..." He said softly, raising a hand to brush the curls behind his ear then he lowered his head. He couldn't go in there, Augusta didn't need to know that Kristopher had heard and seen what went on just like Augusta didn't need to know what Kristopher had done. It would break Augusta...

He couldn't do that to him. Kristopher looked up at Cor then, gave him a soft pat on the chest and walked to the door to leave. A hand rested on the golden knob as he stood there in thought for a moment. He looked over his shoulder once and the look in Kristopher's eyes was pure and begging.

"Please, do this for me..." The blond opened the door as loudly as he could and then slammed it. Hard. Then spoke in a tired voice. "God, I'm so sick of cleaning today!" He declared and went over to the nearest chair and flopped down in it, picking up the rag he lost eariler and stuck it over his face.

It gave him a moment to clear his thoughts, and prepare to act like he saw and heard nothing. He would do it, to the point that where even Augusta would believe him. He knew he couldn't give fake smiles and so---he would just think happy thoughts and act normal---100% and fool his love. He had too, for Augusta's sanity if anything.

It would work with Corvus help.

"Thanks for the help Corvus, you have no idea how much pain you took away for me." he chuckled happily.

At least this announcement would warn Augusta and Aione to get up, dressed and try not to look guilty.

[Corvus "Raven" Hunter]

While Kris was busy playing with his hair and feeling distraught, Corvus was desperately trying to do two things. One was to get into the blonds head and make sure he wasn't thinking of doing anything drastic. That dammed eye made that impossible. The second was to block out all the crap Aione's brain was shooting out. That wasn't working out to well either. He shuddered a few times at how loud that inner persona was. Man, how did she deal with this chick in her head? She was a migraine!!

As if that wasn't bad enough, suddenly all the sappy, sweet thoughts going through Augy's mind hurt Cor in more ways than volume.

The Boogie turned like Kris to the lattice to view the boy's crying. Oh boy, now this was just sad. Really, it was. And the way Kris was responding wasn't to grand either. Even if all his thoughts were kept from Cor (and mind-porn was out of the option now) he could still get the faintest bits of emotions for the Lolita. And guilt was at the top of that list. "Kris..." he started, red eyes narrowing when said human patted his chest and walked towards the door.

He hated that expression. Really, really hated it.

But he followed along anyway.

"You hate it, then why are you always the one cleaning up everyone's mess?" Corvus worked his best smirk to his face, acting a little better that Kristopher. The boy was still a crappy liar, but heaven and hell knew Cor was a top-rate one. "It was a pleasure to help you out, Loli-pop."

Despite his best efforts to stay focused on Kris, red eyes wandered to the spot where Augusta's watch lay. That needed to be taken care of...a loose end nobody could cover up...

[Aione Higurashi]

Needless to say, the look on Ai-chan's face abruptly shifted when Augusta hugged her. This situation felt too familiar to be an accident...head on shoulder, arms around her, and he was starting to cry...it was just like at the amusement park. Ai's eyes went wide as the seductive side of her started to fade, changing from that glazed silver to their normal diamond, and her arms slowly wrapped around the boy's shoulders comfortingly. "Augusta-kun...it's okay..." she whispered softly.

Hey, look a window!

Aione's body twitched slightly as Innerai kicked the other persona from the wheel with a sneer.

You're in sooo much trouble when this is over.

I'm sorry! Sorry!!

Cram it.

The redhead didn't budge, allowing her dear friend to cry as he wanted. She stroked his hair to calm him, smiling weakly as she propped herself up on her elbows. Innerai liked Augy, but not in the physical way Ai-chan did, so the threat of her taking advantage of the broken watchmaker was gone. When he stood and offered her his hand, she paused, buttoned her blouse back up, and took it.

Of course that was the exact minute Kristopher and some Boogie walked into the room.

[glow=red,2,300]Oh snap![/glow]
Aione released Augusta's hand and jumped up (yes, jumped) with a start, staring at the blond man with a mixed expression of shock, fear, and a feeling called "OHFUCKINGSHIT did he see us?!!!". It wasn't a good feeling at all. Though the way Kris and the other man spoke, it was as if they hadn't seen her and Augusta. Or that they had even noticed them when they'd walked in. Maybe they had gotten lucky?

The glint of the watch on the floor caught her eye.

[glow=red,2,300]...or...maybe not...?[/glow]

[Augusta Davingoun]

Augusta helped his friend up, though could he really call Aione a friend? He was confused, this was going to change his friendship with Ai forever. He sighed softly and then heard the dorm slam, and he jumped along with the girl next to him. But the raven-haired man was smart enough not to stand like a deer in headlights. Quickly he went about his business, he put his black shit back on, picked up his leather jacket and started picking up bottles. He pretended to be cleaning, simple and easy. But soon he looked over as he was getting another bottle and saw the same glint that the two other saw.

damn-it!

Augusta literally scampered over and tried his best to casually pick up the watch without anyone seeing him. But the Frenchman was damn sure that Kris would be able to see his black locks anyway. He grabbed the watch and shoved it into the pocket of his jacket as he slid the leather jacket onto his shoulders. He let out a loud cough and ran a hand through his hair and adjusted his thin-framed glasses.

Augusta stood in the archway of the lattice and then shoved his hands into his jean pockets, a habit he often did when he was upset or nervous, and let out a sigh. He tried to act like nothing had happened but he was still drunk, and still a bit angry at Kris, and now Corvus was here to ruin the day. Plus, he felt like he was a criminal. Because he had a strong feeling that Corvus had seen them, that he and Ai had been caught red-handed.

why do these things always happen to me? he asked himself softly before glancing away from Corvus and the blond and heading towards the door. Trying not to stumble and look like a drunken-cheating-bastard.

[Kristopher Roberts]

"Well, I don't mind cleaning so much, but dang, when it gets stacked up like that...makes it so hard to do." He said to Corvus, he moved the rag from his features as he heard a cough. Leaning up slightly, he watched as Augusta came out from around the lattice, hands in his pockets. Not a good sign really, but he ignored it for the time being.

Augusta was drunk and mad, he could see it by looking at him. But he closed his eyes in that fox manner and offered a soft smile, the kind Kristopher gave him when he wanted the other to feel better honestly. "Augusta." He said to him and then, Augusta moved on with just a glance in his direction.

The soft smile faded away and he sighed, sitting up fully now and running a hand through his soft curls. "I'll see you at home then, right?" He said to Augusta, however seeming a bit awkward and unsure. He turned his green eye towards his lover, looking at him curiously, wondering if Augusta would suddenly bust into tears or yell at him in rage...or just give him that non-caring voice with a single word.

He pressed his lips together. "I'll be sure to bring something good home, when I'm done cleaning. Alright." He wasn't sure what he was trying to say or do...he just didn't want to think about the matters at hand or the idea of Augusta leaving. But he also, wanted to avoid Augusta's rage and painful eyes.

[Corvus "Raven" Hunter]

With the way the glasses-wearing human was acting right now, it was a wonder Cor didn't just smack him.

Ignore for a moment he was acting cold toward the man he loved. Ignore that the right thing to do was to confront this issue now before it built itself up into a little mountain of cheat. Ignore that both boys would probably be crushed under said mountain. Right now, the main issue for Corvus was the fact that Augusta was thinking more about getting away with this than making up with Kristopher. So, intervening mind-reader he was, the Boogie was going to do something.

First, he needed to stop Augy. He dropped the smile and put his hand on Kris's shoulder, pushing back some of his curls to whisper in his ear. "If you let him walk out that door, you don't know when you'll see him next. You know that." And then he took his top hat, spun it on his hand, and dropped it on Kris's head. It wasn't a return...just a little comfort to offer the human he loved.

Next, as he stood from Kris and walked in the opposite direction of the door (toward where Ai was frozen), he started to dip into the megane's head. He pulled at the moments Kris and Augy had that were better...memories that quite frankly made him want to rip his hair out. But if this was going to work, positives needed to be the focus. He couldn't try this with Kristopher's head right now, but he could try to get Augusta back on his good side. Or at least on the fence.

Last but not least he reached the tiny redhead that seemed to always be in the middle of a troublesome situation whenever he heard or saw her. He patted her shoulder, a little rougher than he had Kris, the look down at her with cool red eyes. "Don't you have somebody waiting for you, too? Or have you forgotten why you cut your pretty hair?"

Cor watched the young girl with his eyes, but was really watching the pair behind him. This could change everything, couldn't it?

...but for better, or for worse...?

[Aione Higurashi]

Frozen that she was, Ai's gaze had shifted from Kris and the stranger to the floor. She heard everything, from Augusta's picking up the bottles to him gathering the watch and moving to the door. Even when Kris spoke to Augy...she heard that all to clearly. It just made her guilt pile up even higher. I tried to come between them. Kris loves Augusta-kun so much. I shouldn't be here. I'm not part of their world...Augy should never belong to me...or anyone but Kris, for that matter. He and Kris are a dream come true, when they work it out...

[glow=red,2,300]...it hurts...[/glow]

Aione glanced up as the stranger got closer to her, blinking as he shoved at her shoulder and gave her that scary cold look. But it was what he said that really scared her. "How do you...?" the redhead stopped, feeling the weight on her chest this time. Silver eyes darkened with sorrow, lowering from the Boogie's face. "...Tristan-sama...y-you're right...I...I need to talk to him..." Ai reached up and touched at her shorter hair, just before she took a step to the side of Cor and started for the door.

I have my own nightmare to return to.

[Augusta Davingoun]

"Augusta."

He ignored the words he heard, ignored the guilt and shame of everything. Regret was not a strong enough word to describe how he felt. The feelings boiled up inside of him, like his conscious had given up and the black shadow inside of him took over. He didn't think he could even try and cheat on Kris, but he was wrong. Augusta got to the door, he thought he might be able to get out without any emotional or physical damage to his being. Though Kristopher piped up again.

"I'll see you at home then, right?"

Augusta stopped, his feet seemed to be stuck in concrete, he wanted to move his feet, turn his hand. Freedom, escape. Augusta was not one for confrontation, in fact when he got caught up in something he'd rather run away and hide then actually stand his ground, at least when it came to social situations. He took a step back, Corvus's idea of bringing up memories didn't necessarily work as he wanted it to.

Corvus just made Augy feel so much worse. The dark-haired man ran a hand through his hair. A sigh erupted from him as he turned just a touch. " Yeah, of course..." he responded, trying to sound happy, and maybe even normal.

"I'll be sure to bring something good home, when I'm done cleaning. Alright."

Augusta wasn't going to be able to hold on much longer. God he wanted so badly to jut run away and never come back. Never see the blonds face again, but he knew he could;t do that because as soon as he had been a day apart, he'd be longing to be right next to Kris once more. He was damned if he did and damned if he didn't. Augusta turned fully and the face and eyes that held the pain Kristopher didn't want to see were finally revealed. He had a hard time looking ahead, the man stared at the floor. He shoved his hands back into his pockets and felt how his watch didn't catch on the edge of his jeans.

"Kris..." he stopped, like somebody had taken the air out of him, he couldn't breath. For once he was actually scared...

[Kristopher Roberts]

Kristopher turned away and went across the room as if Augusta's words where good enough for him. Too keep himself busy, he started to rearragne some of the things within the room like he would normally do when he cleaned. "Good." was all he said with knowing Augusta would be home when he got finished with his work and checking on the hospital. That was good enough for him.

However, Kris didn't have to worry about the pain filled eyes of his love, he had turned his back towards him while he was cleaning and thus spared for the time being. He heard his name being called but he only smiled over his shoulder with closed eyes. "Anyways, you best get about and finish your things up. That way we can spend sometime together tonight." Kristopher's heart sank even as he said the words with so much happiness that he really didn't feel.

But he needed to be happy, someone did right now and he took it upon himself to be that one. So, when he was done rearranging and the awkward silence came. He went up to Augusta and placed his hand on his shoulder. "Don't look so down, love. It's only Monday." He chuckled and then giving Corvus one look, Kristopher moved past Augusta and left the room, walking down the hallway.
