✧ 𓂅 closed for @glacierheart / continued from here .
surrounded by death and all its marvels and caspian was daydreaming about a their exhibit guide . typical . the thuds of her signature laced loafers are no match for the gentle clicks of freshly polished heels . she wondered if that was what caught his attention first . if he started at the soles of shoes and trailed upwards growing dizzier which each new feature he took in . in his head , was there a soft strum of a guitar as the woman he gawked at became engulfed in a bright white light and started to move in slow motion ? something out of those self proclaimed romantic comedies enid punished her with when wednesday accidentally ( though , inevitably ) hurt her feelings . what torture ( and not the fun kind ) . wednesday hated that she wondered . instead of focusing on the history of malevolent minerals , fearsome fauna , or poisonous plants she was coming up with her own conjectures about caspian and their exhibit guide .
it was unlike wednesday to take interest in the thoughts of others , especially with a study of all the ways nature has killed indiscriminately for all of time at her finger tips . when she'd asked ( or rather , demanded ) that caspian come with her to the ‘ death by natural causes ’ exhibit , she hadn't realized why she'd done so . she wanted to share her interests with him . perhaps , in her own dreadful way , wednesday was trying to connect . and he wasn't even paying attention . how infuriating . “ i was more concerned with what was coming out of her mouth . i guess with all the cracking your jaw was doing gaping at her you missed all the parts that mattered . “ she folded her arms over her chest , perpetually wide eyes staring at him for a quiet moment before his accusation made her look away . ” the things i care for usually end up in a box , submerged in water , or electrocuted . " her tone remained stagnant though her posture straightened a bit more . defensive as always . she turned her gaze back to caspian . “ i think we should ditch the group tour anyway , go off on our own . we're capable of reading a few plaques . ” maybe the more nonchalant she was , the less likely he was to notice she just wanted away from the blonde haired bombshell .

her head canted to the side , not from shock or confusion , but something similar to astonishment . usually , when people found out about her creative assault charges there was never any follow up questions . there was awkward laughter and then there was the fleeing . always the running . not caspian , though she should've guessed . he was constantly going against what wednesday had considered her norm . “ they were harassing my brother . ” from the time her brother could walk wednesday knew he would need her protection . he was clumsy , forgetful , a little too trusting , and though talented with an explosive , he lacked the innovation for calculated damage . he was an easy target . “ no one gets to torture my family but me . " it was her hands their father put a fencing blade in when she was five, it was she who performed franken-experiments with her uncle fester in the addams mausoleum , and she who micro-dosed poisonous plants in her mother's green house . she was taught from a young age to stare trepidation in the eye and make it blink first . and wednesday was known for never blinking . she didn't count the eyerolling as blinking , of course . that she did a lot around caspian . his latest question caused them to roll so far back she swore she saw skull . “ your inquiry implies that we ever stopped talking about her . which we haven't . ” wednesday was quick to remind . another jab about dilated pupils or drool encrusted mouth retreated down her throat as he brought attention to her short spurn of aggression . “ i don't know what you mean i'm usually ⸺ ” the thought is lost as he lifts one of her braids up ; the sensation of her hair touching her ear causing her shoulders to lift and her hand to jut out . she catches his index and middle fingers and clutches them tight . “ the last person to tickle me lost a hand . ” that same , weird flushed warmth from earlier veering its sickly feeling back around and tinging her cheeks yet again . “ why did you name him that ? ” the question tumbled from her mouth like a demand . wednesday was both interested and desperate for a distraction . she was too focused on avoiding eye contact to think about her iron grip on his fingers as she led him through the exhibit .
"what did they do?" now he's straying off his questioning on what provokes a smile out of her as curiosity strikes him, somehow not finding any shock factor in her dumping flesh eating fish in a swimming pool full of high school students so caspian moves by that quickly. just more eager to understand why she did it. no rhyme no reason? or reason. it's fascinating to wonder which and what even provoked her to do so. does she antagonize people for fun like he does or no... since he hasn't learned or figured that part out about wednesday yet. hard telling considering she clearly enjoys injuring people, if it's the ONLY time she smiles. but then again, that's why confusions itches his brain. why hasn't she done it to him yet? "i don't. but i'm glad, because i don't want to lose my hands, i kind of need those." and nice– not nice– knowing she seems to only smile when someone's injured, does reading about those serial killers tend to make her smile then, too? the things his mind swirls with , but doesn't ask.
"why aren't we still talking about her, hm? the better question." the taller prods, the smirk deviously curling on his face telling the answer: because she's jealous? yet again... WHY, though. "it's the way you're manhandling that poor ole book that tells me why." a laugh, irritating her distracting him from things to do with swimming. THAT is what makes him smile: being a relentless menace. "wrong. you'd be a terrible villain by not seeing me coming." hand already in the midst of picking up one of her dark braids, tickling her ear with the tip end of it. does the small ball of darkness TRULY never laugh? NO tickle responses at all? she's broken, how does he send this one back and get a refund. "yes," confirming so as he promptly leans up off the wall like a lost puppy following after her, "i have five of them. steel, midnight, shadow, maverick and snowdance. don't let him know that, though. oh– he'll be so offended," caspian playfully sighs, already seeing it now, "and believe me, he knows how to hold a grudge." that part, he's not joking about. "especially when i didn't name him that just because."

tragic was too gentle of a word for a display of joy , wednesday thought . gruesome , wretched , appalling , calamitous were just a few that came to mind instead . she brought her hands up to cover her cheeks at his threat . “ why would you want to go and do that ? ” signature monotonous tone didn't convey how bottomless her curiosity was , especially when it came to caspian frost . she hoped to keep it that way . wednesday preferred that no one ever know where they stood with her . she'd been called off putting , sadistic , morbid , ominous , and other compliments flung out as if they were insults . she liked that she scared people , appreciated that it made them dislike her . it was the most powerful metaphorical scythe she possessed ; cutting down useless bundles of grass so crops more valuable could grow . it kept her circle small . each person that was there intended to be . except for caspian . unlike the others , who came into wednesday's decaying garden for plotted new soil for themselves , the precarious phantom herself dug a plot for caspian herself . she wanted him around .
the implications of that harsh understanding were lost to wednesday . as someone who couldn't regulate her emotions , she treated them like a agatha christie novel . as if feeling something other than disdain was a crime that needed solving . the blonde haired nuisance was becoming a leech , except he was pulling out variations of sentiments she wasn't familiar with . she'd much rather he take the blood . “ quit while you're ahead . ” it was more of a plea than a suggestion ; her hands slowly finding the thick pages of the display once again . “ there's only been two times in my life i smiled : when i dumped two bags of piranhas in my high school swimming pool and watched as they took away any hope of procreation for most of them . and when i nearly sliced my uncle fester's fingers off during a fencing match and he told me how proud he was . ” she took a moment to eye caspian , her shoulders rolling back . “ i don't suppose you know how to fence do you ? ”
each flip of the book's pages became more aggressive than the last as he continued to mention their tour guide . was he under some sort of spell , or something ? “ why are we still talking about her ? ” with an exasperated sigh wednesday turned yet another page , nearly ripping it in the process . “ maybe you need a swim with some piranhas too . ” she muttered . “ you have all the phobias and the ways they can kill right at your fingertips and you'd rather talk about some woman we saw five minutes ago ? you'd be a terrible villain . ” her arms crossed over her chest , foot tapping in what could come off as irritated impatience , but there was something more twisted happening : wednesday addams was nervous ? desperate to change the subject “ you have a horse named snowdance ? so it's not just people you torture , it's animals too ? ” she started walking towards the next diaply , assuming ( or rather hoping ) he'd follow her .
features remained contorted in an odd look, silently wondering how someone gave birth to the strangest being to hit the earth such as wednesday addams. even a stranger being than the said serial killer brought into the conversation. "what is so terrible about it, exactly? that i'm trying to get you to smile? how tragic." caspian sasses, a playful sigh exhaling. "listen up, tiny. graham cracker, or whatever, has nothing on me." chin jutting proudly, smile beaming across his face. when it comes to poisoning her as she claims, he definitely wants to rank number one at being king of pestering– or poisoning, however SHE puts it. "sounds to me i'm almost there." he points out, correcting her on that, "should i keep trying it?" raising his index finger again, ready to start poking, the mischievous smile growing on his face reaching the blue in his eyes– was her cheeks turning rosy or was his mind playing tricks? doing everything he can to contain a laugh, managing to succeed despite his head craning downwards, a victorious smirk creating the dimples in his cheeks to dent.
"that's so sweet of you, you know," sarcasm lacing tone, "that being your very own love language... having thoughts how you want to kill me." a joke to compensate for how familiar he was with drowning. trying to evict those thoughts from his mind. he despised bodies of open water, he avoided swimming, not even dipping a toe into a lake was feasible. all from being a child when he was tossed into a frozen lake to either sink or swim as his first swim lesson was a form of 'punishment'. all of this was kept & LOCKED inside, not daring to utter a word of that fragment of traumatic childhood memories. curiously looking over her shoulder to see what she was reading about had him quickly uninterested... because he certainly didn't want a reminder he was denying having a PHOBIA of his own.
"what was so superficial about the lady back there?" and why did it sound like jealousy again. "hero... yuck." sneering, "even my ego doesn't find interest in playing the hero." a wry laugh sounds from the tall blond, "if i want braggy points, i'll play the villain and confuse people by doing something helpful right after. or i'll just persuade them with a ride on my horse, snowdance. maybe i should ask that lady back there? let's see if things like that really work on the girls. hm?" questioning to take his mind off the fore thoughts of phobias and drowning, back pressing to the wall next to her to lean his weight against.

caspian was a pestiferous problem . the thought came as the indent his prodding pointer certainly made in her cheek began to burn . color blossomed on her pristinely pale features and rather than be concerned with the unfamiliar sensation , she was irritated he caught her off guard . it wasn't the first time he'd done so either . his retorts came without hesitation and his wit undeniable ( at least internally , externally wednesday did nothing but deny ) . it was like no matter how quick wednesday thought she was , he was able to match pace . or worse , over take her . “ your attempt to thwart me with some mysterious toxin was obvious . even a fourteen year old graham young could poison his victims with much less detection than you . ” wednesday was certain he'd poisoned her . some sort of imperceptible venom coated on the tips of his finger that caused her to flush for the child full of woe was not accustomed to the act of blushing . “ it's already starting to wear off . ” there was actually an another unfamiliar sensation of pins and needles swinging around like a meteor hammer in her stomach , but the best defense was a good offense . she couldn't let caspian see her sweat , she'd never hear the end of it . “ maybe without your superficial and conventional distractions you'll actually learn something about quiet but deadly toxins to carry around . ” wednesday turned , hoping her cheeks had dulled back to their usual ghastly shade as she led them away from their group . “ drowning isn't the only way to submerge something ⸺ ” there was a pause as she looked to him . “ ⸺ or someone ⸺ ” her footsteps continued . “ ⸺ in water , by the way . you lack imagination . there's waterboarding , a dripping machine , water dungeons ⸺ to name of few . ” she led them to a display that held a giant book . each page listed a different phobia and she was grateful to give her eyes something to focus on that wasn't him . “ are you saying you never tried to put something you cared for in danger on purpose ? not even so you could play hero ? with your ego ? ” the disbelief coated her every word .
if he had to endure this weird exhibit, then he had to occupy his mind with something else other than it. the guide of the exhibit quickly became that distraction, older but still just as pretty to stare at. "wrong," pestering pointer finger poked her in the cheek as blues watched her cross her arms, "i completely gathered all the information i needed." caspian claims, that of course .. being how pretty and sparkly her brown eyes were. everything that had came out of her mouth however, DID go through one ear and out the other. but his interest quickly draws back to wednesday, he loved the thrill of danger and the unpredictable a little too much... reminding him this is why he allowed her to force him to come with her in the first place.
any chance to hang out with wednesday, was just another opportunity to provoke danger. fulfill his fun of antagonizing someone that'd probably give him a reaction to his antics. see how much closer to the thrill he could get. "you smother, drown and electrocute things you care for? why?" brows creased, visage appearing bewildered. never had he looked at it that way before... hm. maybe that was his father's method. freezing his dear mother's heart until it stopped because he cared so much about her. if it didn't disturb him– the loss of his mother, he'd morbidly laugh. for caspian, he just cold shouldered the entire emotion of caring for others so he could AVOID it all together. maybe he was only believing that, because he had no one else to care about. "okay," the taller coming to a halt, gesturing for her to go first, "lead the way." as much as he'd like to keep admiring the guide, going their own way seemed more favorable now.
