But a scream went off in Vargo's ear and the hands holding him spasmed open, and that was distraction enough. He twisted free, lunged for Branek, wrenched the sword from his hand, and spun them both so that the rail was at Vargo's back.
Now he was the one with a blade at someone's throat, which he liked much better.
"If anyone's making the Rook strip at swordpoint," Vargo snapped with more bravado than he felt, "it'll be me. I owe him that."
I am losing
my MIND.

✩ ‧ ₊˚ TO LOVE AND TO HOLD — MICHAEL KAISER
wherein your boyfriend is terrible at pick-up lines, but it's okay he's cute anyway.
your boyfriend of four years, michael kaiser is terrible with a lot of things. namely, with his incapability of cooking meals, his terrible sense of time—if not for you maybe he won't even come to some grand events his team holds in time.
but this main habit of your boyfriend that just takes the prize, is him making awful pick-up lines.
may it be a line he saw from a rom-com movie or he's seen on the internet, he'll make it a mission to use it on you every single time.
what makes it worse, is that he doesn't even say it right.
your boyfriend is a lot of things, but using a good pick-up line is not one of them. your boyfriend is idiotically cute and sometimes a jerk.
it baffles your friends how you ended up with such a man like michael kaiser. maybe, it was his dumb jokes or his stupid face, you'll never know.
love is blind they said, maybe it's true for you.
on a cold afternoon, where you and kaiser are walking down on the road for a grocery run. the sun hides behind the clouds and the breeze blows through lightly.
scrolling through your phone as you check the list of the items you'll be buying. walking aimlessly as your boyfriend leads you, a hand placed on your lower back.
surprisingly he's quiet, looking at the buildings and the speck of white flakes that falls faintly on this day.
you continue to revel in the comfortable silence you were wrapped into, listing down some items you've been thinking on top of your head.
milk, strawberries, chocolates...
mind blanking from the things you need at your home, you turn to your lover. whose attention was taken by the surroundings, it's a rare sight to see.
your kaiser is quiet and deep in thought, an eerie scene in your honest opinion, but you don't point it out loud.
instead, you call out to him.
"what do you want for dinner?"
silence.
for someone who likes talking off his mind, your boyfriend didn't even hear you. well, that's something new.
you only call more.
"kaiser? hello? ...love?"
the same response was met.
you wonder what was weighing on your boyfriend's mind for him to drown out the world. it makes you think if he's ignoring you, but you didn't dwell on it for much any longer.
huffing as you try once more, with a louder voice.
"kaiser—"
your boyfriend's head turns all so suddenly to you, interjecting your words.
"—my hand is kinda heavy, can you hold it?"
your boyfriend is really terrible, you conclude.
a smile was plastered on his face, his stupidly charming smile was hanging on his lips. the kind of one that you're familiar with, the one where he finds another pick-up line to use.
he looks at you expectantly, gauging your reaction to what you think of it, you presume—his amazing lines.
and you try to stop the ever growing grin that makes its way to your face, but failing miserably.
only replying to his charms back.
"that's not how the line goes, but you're cute so fine."
a chuckle leaves your lips, making kaiser pout. compared to the pick-up lines he had uttered before, this was definitely better, but not the best.
but it's fine—it's okay because it was him, you think.
"hey, don't laugh! i tried my best okay?" he cried out.
another laugh leaves your mouth, that you tried to stifle—keyword: tried
you took his hands with yours, squeezing it three times in a way to comfort him, dragging him to the store that comes into view.
"okay, mr. i-tried-my-best, whatever you say." you teased, before letting yourself freely laugh at his antics, that only makes him pout more.
your boyfriend was really bad at this, but you don't mind. it's fine, because he's stupid and yours.
◞♡ likes & reblogs are highly appreciated ! okay,, first time writing for this man i hate him i swear :x based on this prompt btw !!
