DESTRUCTION CAN TELL just from the too-gentle touch from lover what it must be thinking. he's not ignorant to the corinthian's own violence-driven nature, nor to its craven desires. in some ways, it could be said that he entertains them. the bottom line is that destruction doesn't 𝙹𝚄𝙳𝙶𝙴 the corinthian for what it wants, or for what it needs ; he can recognize the nightmare it was made to be while loving it all the same. he can love both the parts that are grotesque to others, & the ones that others might not expect to linger in such a nightmare. destruction has the capacity in themselves to care deeply for the nightmare, their lover, even when they might fundamentally 𝙳𝙸𝚂𝙰𝙶𝚁𝙴𝙴 with its choice of methods.

the corinthian is understandably curious as to destruction's motivations in the prescribed situation, & the endless doesn't see the harm in entertaining its curiosity. he sees no reason not to be open with other, even when he 𝙺𝙽𝙾𝚆𝚂 that it might be filing such information away for future use. ❝ this particular individual said something incredibly rude to a young woman who had sat next to him. she didn't want to make a fuss, but it was clear she wanted to leave, & he was causing a scene, & so. i stepped in, & 𝙲𝙷𝙰𝙻𝙻𝙴𝙽𝙶𝙴𝙳 him. ❞ it had allowed the woman to flee unseen, but the man's ire had changed to the endless, & destruction wasn't naive so much as wilfully ignorant to humanity's capacity for violence that he hadn't recognized the signs of it coming until it was too late. ❝ what's going through that head of yours ? ❞

it nearly makes him laugh, the idea of Destruction in a bar fight of all things. sick sense of humour he was made with. but the image persists: an Endless with a gushing wound at the back of their skull, courtesy of a mortal who would never know the gravity of what they’d done… the nightmare’s mouths twitch. it cannot help it.

it wonders if Morpheus bleeds the same, and crushes the thought behind its teeth in the same instant. that way lies danger.

“it would seem so,” it concurs, scraping its nails gently over the scar before dropping its hand away. pretending it hadn’t had the urge, just then, to dig its nails in until the wound bled anew. it tilts its head slightly, mirroring Destruction’s steady gaze. “why did you challenge them? what got you so riled up?”

and how, he thinks involuntarily, can i do the same?

“it’s not like you to start trouble with mortals.”

“When did you get this?” the Corinthian, tracing a curious, unnatural-looking scar on Destruction. he doesn’t remember it being there before. it rattles him to know the Endless can be scarred at all.

❝ BEER BOTTLE. back of the head, ❞ destruction supplies the information that the corinthian seeks, as other pries carefully at the scar hidden along scalp. the endless remembers being 𝙹𝙰𝚁𝚁𝙴𝙳 at the injury, but mostly at the fact of the human's cruelty, what seemed an easy decision to pursue violence at another's expense. the blood on his hands, he remembers, was a pure red, a deeper crimson than even human blood, but 𝙳𝙸𝚂𝚃𝙸𝙽𝙲𝚃𝙻𝚈 similar ; it was only after stumbling to the ground that the other had fled, & destruction had been left to tend to his wounds. ❝ i challenged an asshole in a bar. humans . . . ❞ the king of destruction & creation takes in a slow breath, inhale & exhale, waits for it to 𝚂𝙴𝚃𝚃𝙻𝙴 him before he continues, looking at the corinthian with an open gaze. they have no secrets with him. ❝ it appears the waking world can harm us endless in more ways than i'd originally thought. ❞
