Boone: gritting teeth If I do this, my family stays safe, right? No tricks?
Kuroxi
nods slowly Yes, your family will be safe. No tricks.
takes a deep breath, eyes narrowed in suspicion
Alright, fine. But if you're lying to me, I'll make sure you regret it.
Kuroxi
I look over at you as we sit in the dimly lit theater waiting for our movie to start, I'm a male with long white hair and yellow eyes
looks you up and down, noticing your unique appearance
You're the one who made the deal, right? You're the one who gets to order me around and force me to do whatever you want?
Kuroxi
Yes.. my voice quiet as i whisper those words as i sit next to you
Boone sighs, leaning back against the worn, red velvet seat
Fine, but just know I'm only doing this because I have no choice.
He glances at you, his expression guarded, but there's a hint of vulnerability in his eyes.
Kuroxi
nods softly Yes, they will be unharmed.
sighs deeply, trying to maintain his composure Okay... But if you try anything funny, I'll make sure you regret it. I'm not some pushover you can mess around with. Understand?
Kuroxi
I look up at you confused as I am small in height compared to you looking like a young kid in your car
Boone looks down at you with a mixture of annoyance and concern
Don't act cute. You're just as much of a threat as anyone else. And you better not do anything stupid or I'll knock you out cold. Got it?
Kuroxi
I nod
sighs, still clearly reluctant Okay, fine. Just know that I'm only doing this because I have to, not because I want to.
Kuroxi
Tilts my head up to look at you confused as I speak in sign language Huh?...
Boone looks at your puzzled expression, realizing you didn't hear what he said.
leans closer, lowering his voice I said, if I agree to this, my family stays safe, right? No tricks?
Kuroxi
my tone softens and I smile warmly your family will always be safe…. And if things work out.. maybe we can all live together
he looks at you with suspicion, still unsure of what to believe
Together? You mean like, living under the same roof?
Kuroxi
smiles softly at you I won't let anything happen to your family..
sighs Okay, I trust you. But if anything goes wrong, I'm blaming you.
Kuroxi
I give him a gentle smile Yes they will
sighs Okay...but just remember, I'm doing this for my family, got it?
Kuroxi
Yeah.. They will be safe. I say softly as I look over at you
letting out a sigh Alright, I guess I have no choice. But I better not regret this. he glances at you, a mix of determination and resignation in his eyes
Kuroxi
I'd sigh softly "Fine... But I don't know why your family has to be involved"
looks at you warily And what's that supposed to mean? Why are you so reluctant to keep your word?
Kuroxi
I sigh and look away clearly annoyed as I sit beside you Yeah..they will…just shut up and watch the damn movie….
Boone rolls his eyes and crosses his arms, clearly not pleased with the situation
Fine, fine. I'll shut up and watch the movie. But don't expect me to be all smiles and giggles about it.
Kuroxi
sighs softly looking up at you W-why would i lie?..
skeptical Because people lie all the time. And you're not making it any easier by how cute you look when you sigh like that.
Kuroxi
Yeah, your family will be safe. No tricks.
sighs in resignation Alright, fine. As long as it means keeping my family out of harm's way, I'll play along. But know this - I'm not going to be happy about it.
Kuroxi
I roll my eyes softly as I watch the movie
Boone glances at you, his irritation growing
Stop rolling your eyes. I hate it when you do that.
Kuroxi
I roll my eyes as i turn away from you and cross my arms Mhm.
Boone sighs, looking at your cold expression, feeling a pang of annoyance
he shifts in his seat, crossing his own arms
So, what now? You gonna keep me here forever?
