so he didn't respond to her text. cass huffs, shaking her head in exasperation. of course he would't. she leans over the balcony, swirling the champagne in her glass in slight disappointment. the lights of the party are bright behind her. it's not long before she hears rory's familiar voice again.
he's wearing a black suit with a white tie and an arcanine mask. typical. but she's wearing a sylveon mask, so she can't really speak. she places the champagne on the ledge and pulls out cuddle's pokeball from clutch she has on hand.
"only if you give me a smooch." she says, snickering. she dangles cuddles' pokeball from a finger and thumb, right above the balcony. it's all a bluff, of course. snooki is quick to catch anything that falls with her ribbons, but rory is over protective and odds are he would rather just give her a little kiss. even if he's a bit angry at her.
you've got me on my knees,i'm beggin', darlin' please
he wasn't going to lie and say she doesn't look beautiful. of course she does. she killed it in that pink dress. but things were still quite iffy between them. so he wasn't quite sure how to approach the situation. then again things were iffy for a really stupid reason. but he still wasn't sure.
he watched as she placed the glass on the ledge and pulled out his pokeball. finally. he has been dying to get him back. cuddles could have definitely helped him feel better when he was alone, that was for sure. and to see her dangle his pokeball over the balcony like that. oh man. he eyed the sylveon too. he always disliked that cat.
"wow," he sighed. he took a sip from his glass and shook his head. whatever. "fine," he whispered. he pulled his mask up a bit and leaned down to give her a peck on the lips. he'll admit he missed doing that.

at first cass doesn't know if he's still hooked up on the situation, but soon it's evident that he is. he didn't respond to her text, and it's all over his face. he's unsure. plus, he wouldn't have greeted her that way if he wasn't hooked up on it. but she's a little more careless. maybe they just shouldn't talk about juls at all, or what they did. what role he plays in both of their lives.
but rory does what he's expected to do. he plays right into her hands, playing his own glass of champagne on the ledge and bending down to give her a peck. she lifts her own mask, giving one to him as well. she just hopes that there isn't anyone watching right now, or else it'd be a disaster, especially with their masks off. but she guesses that she's willing to take the risk.
she rolls the ball to the tip of her fingers, offering to rory on an open palm. "he's fine. there might be a little cut on his nose." she says a little hesitantly, because even a little mar on the coat of his favorite pokemon would give them a reason to start fighting again.
you've got me on my knees,i'm beggin', darlin' please
the thought about them getting caught hadn't even come into his mind. it was at the very back of all of his concerns. number one being the safety of cuddles. and a close number two being their situation right now. but more so number one. he smiled when she finally offered him back. but a frown quickly appeared on his face after hearing what she had to say.
"w-what?" he sighed. he figured this would have happened. battling was not something cuddles should be doing. it only ended up with scars and battle wounds. he tried to stay calm as he fiddled with the pokeball in his hands. he doesn't want to call him out now.
"whatever. let's go enjoy the party," he said bluntly. he just wanted to move things on. he kept cuddles back inside his empty pocket. yeah, he didn't bring the other pokemon along with him. no need to, right?

rory's obviously distressed over the little cut on cuddles. she rolls her eyes. "cuddles is fine, look." she snatches the pokeball out of his pocket and presses the button, letting the arcanine's form materialize. there's not another scratch on his coat, except right above his nose. it's a little nick. "some glameow got a little too aggressive." she says, rubbing on cuddle's shoulder. snooki leaps down from the ledge, her ribbons ecstatic at the sight of her friend.
"hey, wait up." she says, reaching forward to clutch his elbow. her other hand follows, and she puts herself right in front of rory. she knows that they have issues. if they're left alone then it'll manifest and get worse and -- she just wants to deal with it now. "hey, about juls..." she drifts off, trying to gather her words. she runs her hand down his arms, making sure that it's gentle and loving because she remembers that rory likes that.
before he knew it she had snatched cuddles' pokeball out of his pocket and called him out. and like he feared there was a cut on his nose. the poor thing. rory immediately hugged him and gave the scar a good rub. "fuck cats," he barked. he smiled a bit as he hugged him. at least he was back with him now.
but just as he was ready to leave for the event she grabbed hold of his arm and spun herself so she was in front of him. juls. ah, he knew where this was going to go. and it wasn't somewhere he'd like to go now. no escaping it forever, he guessed.
"i don't know, are we?" he asked. he kept calm as her hands run down his arms. he liked it and appreciated it. but now back to the issue at hand. "i'm not going to cave."

"excuse you, snooki is a cat...dog thing." she laughs. rory isn't as tough as he likes to make himself out to be. snooki meows back at rory defensively, sticking her nose up in contempt. for some reason rory never liked her.
"i don't know, but i'm not going to cave either..." she drifts off, glancing to the side. she was hoping that rory would possibly want to make amends, and cass is a bit tempted to cave too, just for the sake of their relationship. but it doesn't feel right. she's stubborn, and so is he. maybe that's the reason they're always arguing.
"i wish we didn't fight all the time." she sighs, grabbing hold of his hands and holding them tight. because it always seemed that there was a problem that plagued them, no matter how happy the relationship seems. even if they wanted to improve themselves. but what's to say they did, at all? she narrows her eyes, suddenly suspicious. now that she's thinking of it, she did see rory below. with a certain blue haired bitch.
he had no idea what snooki was. he always thought she was a cat. maybe that's why he never really liked her. she was annoying, clingy, and just obnoxious sometimes. he could put up with her though, since cuddles seemed to like her a lot.
figures she wouldn't cave either. he sighed and let his eyes follow hers, drifting off to the side. there was no way he was caving. not to her, not to juls. she just doesn't see it.
"nothing i say will change what you think about juls so it's pointless," he sighed. but yes, he too wished they didn't fight all the time. it wasn't healthy for their already damaged relationship. but they always seemed to come back to fighting.

"i guess so." she sighs, leaving the topic at that point. there's no use in arguing if they're going to stay strong on those opinions. they aren't going to resolve it anytime soon. but is it really healthy to leave it alone? she doesn't know. maybe the issue really isn't that big of a deal as she's making it out to be.
but lamia touches a nerve in her, since she talked to her recently. "is she your date?" she snaps. she has to admit to herself. she's a bit jealous, because they're really good friends. and they a had something more before -- that's what caused their relationship to go sour in the first place. well, it was dying before then, but that was the straw that broke the camel's back.
she can't help but feel uneasy at their relationship. she trusts rory, but she can't trust lamia to try anything sneaky. how odd. she's starting to sound like rory now.
well at least they had moved on from julius. but now it was onto a different topic. they jumped from fight to fight so easily it was crazy. but this one was a little bit easier to deal with for rory. it was a bit fun as well. he smirked underneath his mask.
"yeah she is," he said bluntly. he was just trying to tease her at this point. get back at her for hurting cuddles. "why? you jealous?" he teased.
no but really nothing happened. he was just enjoying this moment a bit too much. he reached around her to grab his glass he left on the ledge and took a few sips from it.
"mayyybe a kiss or two," he laughed. but no really he was telling the truth. there was a kiss. but that was it. not like he was going to tell her that. "i kissed her. she tried to fuck. i said no and left."
cass folds her arms, turning away to hide her pout. "no i'm not." she huffs. she isn't jealous about how rory automatically goes to her when the're fighting. or how she always seems to be there even when it finally seems like she's left for good. she's not jealous or suspicious or annoyed at her.
not at all.
"you kissed her?" cass whips around, hair flaring behind her as if her anger's manifested in them. she can't really speak, but she thought'd they would stop it would the cheating after this. even if they're arguing. even if she did give juls a little bit more than just one kiss...
she takes an angry breath, calming herself before she ends up throwing something off the balcony. "well at least you didn't fuck." she says, side-glancing rory. she turns around and leans towards the balcony again, taking another sip of her champagne.
"sure," he winked. he knew she was jealous. he was just playing with her feelings at this point. does he feel bad? a bit, but he just wanted to get her back for messing with julius and also hurting cuddles. that should have been enough, he thought.
"it was only a kiss," he retorted. he would have lied and said she initiated it. but that was a lie. she might have wanted a kiss, but he was the one who did all the work. but he stopped it before anything could happen.
she was flaring up. he could see that. and for some reason he liked it. "yours truly," he winked. he sipped away at his champagne before throwing the glass over the ledge. he laughed and grabbed her hand. time to stop fighting.
Post by cassandra cain on Jul 8, 2015 17:35:42 GMT
"that's what i said." cass snorts. her anger's evaporated, she's too tired to fight. she leans on an elbow and rests her chin atop of the back of her hand. she knows what rory's up to. he obviously takes pleasure in tormenting her with cheating. that's their relationship -- manipulation. it's unhealthy and probably a factor as to why they fight so much.
rory takes one last sip of his own champagne and throws the cass leans over the watch the glass as it falls. "what the hell?" she looks at him in confusion. the glass beneath them shatters into a million pieces when it hits the concrete. luckily there's no one nearby, so the action goes without a consequence.
she lets him grab her hand. a smile graces her lips at the compliment. "and you look pretty charming yourself." she mirrors, eyes drawing down towards his black suit and white tie. they can't really dance inside where everyone's watching. she's fine with dancing on the balcony. but she suddenly remembers that she doesn't remember how to. cass raises her hands and smiles at rory sheepishly.
rory laughed at her confusion after he threw the glass off the roof. that was something he had always wanted to do. someone else's job to clean it up, he thought. yeah, real rich kid-esque. he just shrugged his shoulders.
"thanks. i know," he replied all smug-like. but sure, he could dance. he grabbed her hand and guided it to his shoulder. he moved in closer to her, closing the gap between them as he placed his hand on her waist, just a little bit above her butt. he might have squeezed it a bit, but nothing too much.
the music from the ballroom was barely audible. but he made due. he swung side to side, moving along with the rhythm. but as always cass was pretty shit at dancing. "you still haven't learned how to dance?" he laughed. he tried teaching her once before. he guessed he could do it again.
so he reached up to pull off his mask, tossing it over the side of the roof. he doesn't care if people saw him with her. it was bound to happen eventually.
Post by cassandra cain on Jul 11, 2015 1:33:56 GMT
he takes her hand on puts it on his shoulder. her other hand light grasps his. cass rolls her eyes at the placement of his hands. she jumps slightly at the squeeze, because while it isn't surprising of rory to do, she might have forgotten that fact. the music's barely audible, but it doesn't really matter. she can't focus on the music when she falters at her own dance. she might have even stepped on rory's foot in the process.
her face turns red from embarrassment. "n-no. i'm too busy to dance." she stutters. rory of course, knows how because he's rich and they always know how to dance. he's taught her before, but she hasn't danced since high school. she's too rusty to remember anything well enough to keep up with him.
she looks at him in confusion. "i'm wearing heels." cass says. it'd hurt if she stepped on his toes, and it'd probably scuff his shoes, still. she watches as he reaches up to pull at his mask. "rory--" she starts, but it's already off the side of the building, like the glass of wine that shattered before them. now he's lost his anonymity.
so he didn't respond to her text. cass huffs, shaking her head in exasperation. of course he would't. she leans over the balcony, swirling the champagne in her glass in slight disappointment. the lights of the party are bright behind her. it's not long before she hears rory's familiar voice again.
