#[ My dead heart beats for you ; Zech/Kass ]

[darktclight]

@vimetxartem​ said to darktclight:“Cuddles. Now.” (Kass and Zech :Dc)

“Yes, dear, right away.” Zech wasn’t about to argue this. Honestly, he desperately needed some affection from his queen, so her timing could not be any more perfect. With a quick sweeping motion, Zech scooped Kass right off her feet and into his arms, heading to their private quarters. 

He’d then set her on their bed, kick off his shoes, and join her on the plush surface. Large arms naturally wove around her, pulling the sith close to his chest and nuzzling his face against her hair with a content sigh. 

“Will that be all, my queen?” The bounty hunter questioned, voice already much softer and more relaxed than it was moments ago.

@vimetxartem continued from here

Well. This put a damper on things.

Kass gave a small hum as she walked around her room. In a desperate call for power, she bound ghosts of the dark side to her soul. …No one told her that such power, and binding more than one ghost, would actually kill her slowly. Now she needed a cure, or she was gone by, she guessed, the end of this week or the next. She wouldn’t have cared, really, if it didn’t damage her reputation or teared Zech’s heart into pieces.

The sith sighed under her mask, the soft thuds or her boots making it known she was heading to Zech, standing near stiffly a little ways away behind him.

“…Zech. You know I do not ask for help often, but there is urgency in the most recent mission I have planned. Sit down. Let me explain.” Just like the mission, her tone was urgent, but there was cautiousness. How would she say this lightly?

Zechariah, to many people, was a heartless, cruel, dead bastard who only cared about himself, if that.

But not with Kass. 

Stars above no, not with Kass. He couldn’t even pinpoint an exact moment she managed to worm her way into his dead heart, but she was there, and she had been pretty much the only person Zech gave more than half a shit about. She was strong, independent, badass, and had a similar kind of sadistic sarcastic humor that he had. Honestly, what more could he ask for in a person? He was surprised that she could love this dead man walking.

He knew the sound of her footsteps all too well, simply turning his head to look over his shoulder at her and offer his usual smug smirk.

It quickly faded with the seriousness Kass spoke with. The bounty hunter turned and, with her being the only one he’d ever listen to, sat against the table he was previously facing. “...Okay..? I’m all ears, babe, what do we have to do?”

[vimetxartem-a]

"Hey" Zech starts out simply, coming up from behind Kass with a large bag. "I got you somethin'~" He grinned, handing over the bag. It had a couple of other, smaller bags, which contained some excellent quality makeup (minding of her sensitivities and shades), her favorite kind of sweets, and a whole lot of fancy bath stuff. There was also a red dress, elegant but not over the top. Perfect for a certain dinner place. "I may have reservations, too~" (~darktclight)

@darktclight

Kass honestly thought Valentine’s day wasn’t her thing, or even Zech’s. For the moment, she was looking out the window into the stars of space, seeing some glitter as she observed.

She looked over to Zech and gave a small nod, but blinked when she was given the bag.

“And here I thought today wasn’t your thing, babe,” She mused softly, a glint of happiness in her eyes regardless. She started to open up the gifts, a grin coming onto her face. She was needing to get more makeup and things for her bath. The sweets would be savored, and the dress is what caught her attention. The grin widened, and she stood to place a kiss onto Zech’s cheek.

“Reservations, hm? Let me guess, it’s one of the Empire’s finest, and you had to wait weeks to get a reservation, or bribe or threaten to get a spot in for us this day?”

[vimetxartem-a]

So you care for an undead hunter, Kass? You do realize he might betray you and be heartless.

“Bold of you to assume either of us have hearts,” Kass started, crossing her leg over the other where she sat. Her expression remained bored, almost annoyed.

“Here’s my thing. Salbone’s heartless, ruthless, bloodthirsty. That’s what I like. Besides, he is my bodyguard, but he also knows I could possibly snap him like a twig with the Force. Or electrocute him until his nonexistent heart explodes. Either one. Besides... Everyone is heartless to a point, are they not?”

[darktclight]

“I don’t think you understand.” Zech’s grin twitched with malice, towering over the intruder. 

“That’s what makes us such a great team.”

His laugh was nothing short of twisted, bright yellow eyes burning with a dark flame. “You think I’m any different than what you just used to describe her as? I let a building full of people explode for fucks sake. I didn’t have to let them die, sure, but who cares?! I did my job, I got out. Done day,” 

“Hell, she’s a better person than I am, what does that say, huh? The fact that she could hurt me if i step out of line is part of the thrill. You know how many people can say that they have true power over the heartless, dark, undead Bounty Hunter Salbone?” 

”One. And that would be her.”

“So don’t come to me trying to spit nasty words about my queen, because you’re only talking to someone worse than her. And that’ll get your stupid existence wiped out faster than you can say, ‘manipulative’“

[darktclight-a]

Salbone your girlfriend is a crazy lil bih, how do you deal with it

“I don’t ‘deal’. I enjoy being around her, she’s the only person I’ve been able to say that about in the entire galaxy.” Zech idly chewed on a toothpick, his posture lax as it is bored. Still, he unholstered his weapon, spinning it in his hand before pointing it at the grey face. 

“Also, insinuate any kind of insult to my queen again, and I will use you as a target. Feel lucky I’m actually in a good mood today.”
