"do you ever get afraid?" -- @inxspacetime ( mickey )

❛ what is there to be afraid of? ❜ brow raises, then. johnny's certain that he didn't understand the question, when his eyes finally land on mickey, seeing the look he's given. stop playing, he could tell, was on the tip of the other's tongue. it makes his own tongue press to his cheek, makes him bite hard on it. enough to draw blood, tasting the iron.

❛ not lately, but gettin' afraid is part of bein' human, ❜ so disgustingly human, it would make his blood boil. as a sawyer, there wasn't room to be afraid anymore. it was kill or be killed. HUMANS WERE ALWAYS A PLENTIFUL RESOURCE. had he been afraid of being caught? ... once. a long time ago. his head shakes, moving side - to - side. his hand raises to go through his hair, pushing back his strays & fixing it back into place, comfortably. feels his fingers press to his scalp, massaging them. cool off.

❛ don't really get much time to think 'bout bein' afraid, y'know, ❜ he chooses to whisper, like it was some deep secret that a guy like him? like them? THAT THEY WERE STILL CAPABLE OF FEAR. ❛ can't get caught if y' leave nothin' behind. n'or can ya get caught when people are too scared to try lookin'. i don't have any ounce of fear or doubt 'bout that, mick, ❜ a little nickname he's adopted for the other, in endearment. they've been through enough. ❛ growin' up the way i did, y' don't get much time to think 'bout it -- bein' 'fraid, ❜ a pause.

❛ just means y' human. to feel afraid. ain't nothin' wrong with that, ❜ the last time, that he recalls, feeling afraid was many years ago -- about a monster lurking at the corner of his room. he remembers what his ma said, that night. ( now, johnny, it ain't gonna hurt ya. it's just watchin' over ya. it's a friend. ) she was right.

❛ mick, what's botherin' ya? talk to me, ❜ johnny offers, shifting his body to face mickey. his arms find home crossed at his chest, one over the other, his head cocking. the corner of his lips turn upward, trying. ❛ what's on y' mind, baby? ❜
