@malumxsubest asked: “Love your costume. What made you choose it?” @ dusty ( probably met a halloween party? o: )

Being at the club for her brother's band performing on Halloween was nice, she loved the shows but she felt a little out of place. Dusty glanced down at her costume, an angel, one wing black and the other a white one and she laughed. "Uh, thanks, I was going for the duality angle. You know, there's always good and bad? Does that make sense?" Her nose crinkled up because while it made sense to her, her thoughts didn't always make sense to others.

"There's already weirdness between the two of you," she pointed out, head tilting. "You both act like brothers towards one another and he's interested in your sister, I'm not sure it can get much weirder than that. There is never going to be perfection in this scenario." SIghing, she rolled her eyes and poked his chest with her finger. "You're lucky that you have a very nice looking face, I might be able to stay mad at you for more than five minutes if not."

he internally grimaced when she pulled away from him. " i suppose he's not the one im enthralled by. i just don't want any weirdness between him and i considering you two are siblings and my sister is friends with you. so, i guess what im saying is that i want this to go perfect. " he sighed, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. " but i will worry less about everything besides you. plus, it is also your birthday week. " then he took a step close to her, " so, forgive me? "

@malumxsubest asked: ❛ i can’t stop thinking about you. ❜ ( dustadeus )

Dusty was attempting to keep herself from getting too attached to Amy. It was difficult though when every time he was within five feet of her, her body felt like it was on fire and it only intensified when he got closer to her. Like now when he was right behind her as she stood at the bar. She'd dropped Raven off and she thought she'd have one little drink before she headed out but then Amy's voice came out of nowhere and those plans seemed to be forgotten for now.

Turning her head to peer over her shoulder, her eyes took in his face, taking in all the details like she always did before she smiled at him. "Oh yeah? Are you going to tell me about them?"

@malumxsubest asked: " I'm gonna make you scream until the neighbour's complain. " dustadeus

Dusty was reading a book on the couch, the newest Stephen King one and didn't notice that Amy was leaning over the back of the couch until his breath was against her ear and she felt goosebumps rise up against her skin at his words. "Is that a fact Mr. Hart? Well, maybe I should look into getting soundproofing for my bedroom then huh?" Clearly, she thought he was joking right now.

@malumxsubest 🎲 to generate a kiss for amadeus and dusty and got A kiss to a scar, birthmark, injury, or other marking

Sharing the bed at the hotel was nice. Not just because she was enamoured with Amadeus but because it was nice to be close to someone when she was falling asleep and when she woke up. It made her feel safe in a way that she hadn't in a long time. When she had fallen asleep that night, she was on 'her' side of the bed but when she woke up, she was nestled against his side, her head on his chest and her arm wrapped around his stomach. Dusty knew that he didn't sleep much and even if his eyes were closed, he might just be pretending for her sake so that she didn't start worrying again.

Idly her fingers started tracing along the one tattoo that was along his ribcage, her head shifting just a little so that her nose could gently nose against his chest with half opened eyes. They landed on the scar that ran down the middle of his chest and she had never dared ask about it, even after the time she had touched one of the ones on his back. Was she curious of course, but it wasn't her place to ask. It wasn't even her place to be this close to him either but this was different. There was something about Amadeus that made her gravitate towards him from the time they first met in the club on Halloween when she didn't have a single clue of who he was. It almost seemed as if her heart had called out and he was the one that answered. Moving her head a bit more, she pressed very gentle, light kisses along the mark before stopping and looking up at him, bringing her hand to rest on his stomach from his side. "I know you're awake," she said quietly. "I'm sorry for doing that, I know you don't like people noticing the marks." However, it was a half-lie. She wasn't really sorry, she'd been wanting to do it for weeks now and unlike her brother, she was willing to take the risk.

@malumxsubest asked: bite+ neck/shoulder (dustadeus)

Dusty was curled up in the bed, having stayed over at Amelia and Amy's house on one of the rare days that she had off for two days. The bed was so comfortable it felt like she was sleeping on a cloud, much better than hers at the apartment to say the least. She had been so comfortable in fact that she didn't feel Amy shift behind her and wrap his arm around her from behind and start kissing along her bare shoulder. Instinctively, her head moved to expose more of her shoulder and neck, her eyes fluttering open slightly as she started waking up. Then came the sharp sting of a bite at the spot right where her neck and shoulder met and she let out a loud moan at the sensation, now fully awake. "I, uh, morning?"

[atrickrtreat]

Dusty was convinced that Amy just didn't know how desirable he was - that had to be it. This moment, however, was nice. Giving in just a little bit without going too far. At least not yet anyway, she was never sure what would happen with him and that brought an excitement of its own. She did like how he felt on top of her, how he was trying to keep his weight off her so that he didn't wind up accidentally hurting her. Sadly she did have to breathe so she broke the kiss and just went to peppering kisses down his jaw to his neck and the spot she could reach of his shoulder.

maybe he was a bit of tease even when he failed to realize it. and he surely didn't realize it. and it made it all more exciting considering dusty seemed to have the same idea he's been having for a while. amy caged himself over her when she pulled him close for a kiss, not wanting to crush her with his body. he angled his head slightly in order to deepen the kiss as he slowly eased himself on to her, but still putting most of his weight on his forearms. a knee slotted between her legs while he shifted his weight so he can cradle her jaw, his thumb mindlessly caressing her cheek.

[atrickrtreat]

Amy was being honest about his feelings towards her brother, she had to admire that even if it bristled her a little and it really shouldn't. He didn't know the reasoning behind it and maybe that's why it bothered her because it meant she had to talk about it. "It's more than being the older brother," she said, sitting down on the edge of the bed and started wringing her hands together nervously. "A few years ago, when I was just starting my job at the hospital, I got involved with someone and it wasn't a good relationship." She paused taking a moment to collect her thoughts before continuing. "He nearly killed me and for a while there, the Dusty you see now didn't exist. I went through a really bad time and Raven just doesn't want that to happen again. I don't think it's that he doesn't trust you, he's never told me that - I think it's just that part of him that remembers what happened and how I was and he doesn't want to see that again."

Raven tried really hard to not nitpick things when it came to Amy. He did but there was that part of him that couldn't stop that switching from clicking over given things. "I know, believe me I know that you'd be the first in line to hit him it's just something I can't switch off, we've gotten better I think. We're not as bad as we were a year ago." It was just an extremely slow process. Setting her bags down, he dropped the one bag he brought with him into one of the chairs in the room before shoving his hands into his pockets. "I'm trying really hard though, I'm always going to worry.."

" i have to ask, is your brother always like that? i mean, i understand he's protective of you. i am as well in regards to my own sibling. but i feel like it is a bit stifling. " amy wondered though he winced to himself when he realized his words seemed mean to say the least. he eased their luggages next to the bed of their shared room before turning to look at dusty. " i mean, i get it. he's the older brother. sometimes older siblings can be a bit stubborn. " amy then rubbed the back of his neck, his fingers lightly brushing the hairs at the base. eugh, he does feel a bit hesitant, to say the least. she was honestly becoming a stable person in his life and he doesn't wish to fuck it all up.

meanwhile, amelia gave a small hum in reply, her heels tapping along the marble flooring of the balmoral hotel. she kept her thoughts to herself as they're near to their designated room for the week. she could understand where raven was coming from. he was protective, simple as that. amelia and amy were the same in that regard. hell, they would even kill for one another if it was a mean of protection. though, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. the posturing between the men were beginning to become too much, and too annoying to deal with. " it's completely understandable, raven. even though she's your baby sister, understand that amy wouldn't do anything to make her upset. let alone cry over him. and i know you wouldn't because i would if he even thought about it. i am fond of dusty. so, rest assured she'd be fine. "

[atrickrtreat]

That was far too much for her, especially since she didn't drink a lot to begin with. Where was there time to do that anyway with her job? She didn't need a hangover the next day. "Well, those girls always tend to have horrible headaches the next day and or wake up next to someone they immediately regret and since I have work tomorrow night, I'd rather avoid both."

"I see," she said in response to his explanation about his sister. Made sense but she was trying to not fumble over her words since he was distracting her with his looks - not that she felt it was intentional, he was just really pretty. "Yeah, my brother doesn't know when to stop when he wants something. My brother's ego will be fine hearing that, don't worry, I've given him worse. Are you enjoying yourself tonight? Since I'm sure you're working still."

Hearing the proof of the vodka made Dusty's eyes widen and she laughed nervously before nodding her head. "That sounds a bit too strong even for me, I think a sip of that I'd be on the floor with no way up.' And that was probably very accurate. Still, it was nice to know there was something like that around here, even if it would floor her ass. "Zombie sounds interesting, might have to try that sometime - I think if I drink anything more than water from here on out I'll be one of those wobbly girls stumbling out the door."

"Well, banning is a lot for just trying to get what he wants, isn't it?" She asked, tilting her head. Though it did make her feel some kind of way that he was willing to do that. Until it clicked. He could ban the person? "You're..your sister is the owner? Or you're the owner, oh well I'm happy I like this place and didn't say anything bad." She was joking though, showing that much by smiling at him. "My brother is relentless when he wants something - he kept sending his music and then um, he claims the door was unlocked but I think he might have jimmied the lock and met her face to face. I think he won her over with his charm. What little he has."

[atrickrtreat]

Just when she thought they might have a moment, he had to mention her brother. Sighing, she pulled away a bit and rolled her eyes. "Are you ever going to stop worrying about what my brother will do or think? He isn't really part of this equation," she motioned between the two of them. "Whatever this is. Less worry about him, okay? If you can agree to that, then I will agree to what you're offering."

he mocked a gasp, placing a hand to his mouth as if what he had heard was the most blasphemous little thing from dusty. was it the truth? no. but would he be opposed to such a thing? also no. but only if dusty wanted him to see and gave him consent. " an excuse? i'd never. besides, if your brother found out, i'll be dead meat. " amy huffed lightly. though he pulled back just enough to peer back down to her. " that's defeat the purpose of me spoiling you. okay, what if i buy ONE decently price item and the rest will be in a range your comfortable with? gotta deal? "

[atrickrtreat]

Hearing the proof of the vodka made Dusty's eyes widen and she laughed nervously before nodding her head. "That sounds a bit too strong even for me, I think a sip of that I'd be on the floor with no way up.' And that was probably very accurate. Still, it was nice to know there was something like that around here, even if it would floor her ass.

oh yes, rest assured that vladan will be confronted by both the nightclub owners. and amadeus knew that his dear sibling would enjoy tearing him from limb to limb. his sister prided herself with the development of the crimson mist. and for it to be considered a hunting ground for others will surely aggravate her as it did to him. nonetheless, vladan will be dealt with later in the evening.

amadeus finished his whiskey and settled the glass down with ease as he listened to her, mulling over some cocktails she may enjoy. " oh, you might enjoy my sibling's taste then. despite enjoying fruity drinks that completely masks the alcohol content, she indulges strong drinks as well. the strongest alcohol we have is the polmos spirytus rektyfikowany vodka which is 96% alcohol, 192 proof. but that is under lock and key by my sibling since that is her favourite. " he mused, scratching at his chin in thought as he leaned closer to her but still leaving ample amount of space between them just so he's not stifling her person space. " but we do have a strong cocktail that is called the zombie which consists of three types of rum; lime juice; alernum; angostura bitters; pernod; grenadine; and ‘don’s mix’ - a combination of cinnamon syrup and grapefruit juice. " amy replied in kind, listing out the ingredients to her just so she knew exactly what goes into that drink.

he could feel his grin widened when he could see her blush despite her trying to hide it. then he scoffed lightly when she brought up the menace from earlier again. " eh, i won't worry about him. if he has a problem with me then i'll just have to ban the guy. but just for you, i'll keep an watchful eye for him. oh, yeah she's here for sure. i mean, i would be surprised if she wasn't considering this place is her favourite place to be. how did your brother get a gig here? "

[atrickrtreat]

Had it made Dusty uncomfortable? Of course, especially when Vlad had tried to reach out and touch her but she knew that came with being in a club. Something was always going to happen. She could only hope that it didn't happen again and she was willing to chalk it up to the other being drunk. Why else would he talk about sinking his fangs into areas that well, were never going to be mentioned out loud.

She appreciated the more quiet area, still being able to hear the band perfectly well from where she was. "Strong alcohol is best if you're looking for something to enjoy. Fruity things you tend to drink too much too fast because you don't have that bang that say, tequila or bourbon does. What's the strongest that you have here?" She asked, looking over at him and listening when he said she didn't have to worry about anyone. Well, that was a relief at least. But then she heard his part about the one next to him and Dusty ducked her head down because she was blushing.

"Oh, no, no one. Unless you want to count the guy who tried earlier, pretty sure he'd have a problem with you. So, better beware of him. Is your sister here too?"

he listened to her attentively as she described the annoying gnat that was indeed a regular to the crimson mist. vladan, that scum. amy could feel his eyes burn with irritation on her behalf but he willed himself to remain calm lest he frightened his new found friend. he shall notify his sister about him at a later time. for now, he had a patron to entertain.

he kept his sweet smile, his dimples being prominent the wider it gets. he lead her to a more secluded spot of one of many bars that the club offered before ordering the blood and sand cocktail for her. he sat beside her with a soft relieved sigh, taking the moment of reprieve since standing on his feet for hours can be quite bothersome even for an immortal such as him. he almost spat into his cup as a rumbling laugh erupted from his chest. " i mean, hey at least you're being honest. it's not your desired preference. i know my sibling adores sweet drinks considering her massive sweet tooth. but she also adores insanely strong alcohol rivaling the most toughest of individuals who claim they can outdrink anyone. " he mentioned, finally able to take a sip of his whiskey. though, dusty almost caused him to snort into his drink again when she expressed her worry about a potential partner. he gave her a lopsided smile and shook his head. " nah, there's nothing to worry about anyone 'cause there's no one of interest. well, besides the one next to me, of course... what about you huh? do i need to worry about someone trying to fight me off? "

[atrickrtreat]

"So you just want an excuse to see me with very little clothing on, is that it?" She teased leaning back against him before tilting her head back to look at him. "I will go shopping with you on one condition. You can't take me somewhere where the clothes are going to be decently priced. Not in the hundreds or thousands of dollars."

he decided to curl his arms around her shoulders and held her to him as he swayed to side for no particular reason. he laughed again, a bit rumbly as it came from his chest. " oh? plenty of bikinis huh? would you, ah, be adverse if i ask to you to do a little showcase of them? if not, i will gladly take you shopping. besides, that's what we're here for right? to shop and celebrate your birthday as well? " he asked almost sheepishly, his chin barely resting on the top of her head so he wouldn't put pressure or make her feel uncomfortable.

[atrickrtreat]

Dusty was used to attracting the wrong ones into her life, it seemed to be some kind of bad karma that she didn't deserve but was handed. Either way, she was able to thwart the advances as kindly as she could. Her brother just couldn't find out because he'd go into a blind rage and that never ended well for anyone. Given this was where he worked now, she didn't want to mess that up for him after all he'd done for her and getting her into the field she wanted to be in. "It began with a V? I think he was trying to say his name was Vlad or something, he was wearing a bright red choker around his neck though, that's kind of hard to miss. It's not a big deal to me, I'm sure he thought I'd be an easy target or something but I avoided him!" She smiled and let him guide her towards the bar, listening to his suggestion and she nodded a bit. "Sounds perfect, I'm happy you didn't try suggesting one of those super girlie drinks that everyone thinks I absolutely have to adore, it's the opposite, I hate them. So are you enjoying the part, Amadeus? Sure someone's not going to come yanking my hair back because I'm talking to you?"

normally hardly anyone would capture his eye within his long life, not after the first relationship where he was stabbed in the chest someone whom he thought was worthy ― literally and figuratively. so to have a mortal woman to have such a enthralling air about her made him feel a bit... tingling. like almost bashful, in a way. however, that feeling quickly morphed into hidden rage when he listened dusty's encounter about one the patrons she had. he'll deal with piece of shit later... though, his eyes did narrow a bit. " no, uh, you're all good. no need to apologize. though, did you happen to catch his name or how he looked like? i could always notify the bouncers to kick that fucker out, if you'd like. that's not okay." he responded, his frown deepening while his fingers steadily curled around the glass. but his sour expression soon turned into something more light as placed his free hand on her upper back, being mindful of the wings. " of course. are there any thing you don't particularly like? i do recommend the blood and sand cocktail. it's a scotch manhattan and cherry scotch mixed in with some orange juice. "

[atrickrtreat]

Amy was pretty, probably one of the better-looking guys around here because he wasn't trying to look good, he was just naturally nice-looking. She did wonder if he was going to give some sort of sign if he was as skeezy as the last guy that tried talking to her was so she could just slip away into the crowd now before it was too late. When he choked on his drink, she bashfully cringed and her nose scrunched up. "Sorry, but it's the truth, I could have been one of those people too if the guy that I was talking to a little while ago hadn't flipped the script and said I'd look great with blood running down my body - thought it was best to avoid him at all cost." Glancing to the bar and then back at him, she nodded. "Sure, since you're buying, why don't you choose what I drink?"

amy used one hand to smooth back loose strands of deep reddish hair away from his face while the other was holding a glass of whiskey on the rocks. he took a sip while he listened and followed dusty's finger, his emerald eyes fallen on her sibling that was performing on stage. oh, what a small world... he concealed his look of surprise by relaxing his brows and meeting the woman's eyes once again. " oh! well i do love when you can make a costume in the last minute. sometimes things work out when you least expect it. and i'm glad your brother invited you here. " he started but almost spat his drank right after he took another sip. but amy coughed out a laugh, his shoulders shaking as he tried to reel himself back lest he wants his drink to spill all over. " well, i'm sure the owner and the clean up crew will understand. it's a nightclub after all. can't be helped. " then he gestured over to the bar with a jut of his chin. " would you care for a drink? i bet they have a large variety. my treat. "

[atrickrtreat]

Dusty was always proud of her brother, especially when he performed because it was really like he was at peace with himself when he was playing or singing a song. She missed that about him for a while there. "Honestly, this was one of the only things in my closet that could pass for a costume, my plans got canceled last minute and my brother invited me to watch him play tonight," she said, motioning to the stage and pointing to Raven. "It's a nice place, though I feel sorry for the owner and the cleaning crew who are going to have to clean up all the condoms that are probably getting used around here - think I've seen at least five different couples disappearing into the bathroom."

well, it seemed the general manager billy didn't fail him this time around and he was pleased with a fully packed ( within the proper vacancy amount ) nightclub with the help of the main attraction of this fine halloween night. amadeus peered over to the woman at his side with a faint grin. " yeah, it makes perfect sense. the world runs on duality or it should be. the costume is simple but it gets the idea across. " he agreed wholeheartedly with a nod of his head. " though, i do hope you're enjoying yourself here tonight. it seems the place is quite packed this evening. "
