@✦ Kris [h] "Honestly that might be true but lets not find that out," Daehyun teased, knowing exactly how much he depended on Kris. He was his best friend, his family, and he loved him dearly. And Daehyun had to admit that he was quite a little stupid whenever he was left alone so Kris' was most likely right. It had already almost happened once that Daehyun had set himself on fire so there was that.
"I am all innocent when it comes to finances," Daehyun hummed and nodded eagerly. "I did not lose any kind of money in any kind of way," he grinned and then tilted his head. Usually they spent time at Daehyun's place but he had to admit that he felt more at home at Kris'. So it was a welcomed invite to the other's home. "I'd like to. When did I forget it at your place? Or did we decide to store it there." If Daehyun was honest, his memory was not the best when it came to remembering where he stored all the cool stuff but luckily Kris was filled with enough memory for the both of them.
"I told you, I could have hunted something down for us if you just had looked up how to skin an animal and how to prepare the meat," Daehyun said as he watched Kris. The other was really good when it got to winning money and Daehyun left it all to the other, therefore also making sure Daehyun would not just lose the money again. Because he had to admit that he was really good in losing money again. He shrugged then. "I think they eat meat, as far as I know. We can go and check it out and if not we can come back and find a nice place here. Sounds like a plan?" he asked curiously and watched Kris, waiting for the other's reply.
Laughing and following Kris, Daehyun shook his head. "They won't ever be able to proof anything," he hummed as he linked his arm with Kris. "You really know how to win money, huh?" he grinned. It was clearly more than usually but he was glad. Kris was the responsible one and if Daehyun wasn't as chaotic as he was, maybe he'd even feel bad about it sometimes. But Kris had never complained and that alone made Daehyun push the thought at the back of his head. Any other person and he would not even slightly thought about this, but this was Kris and he'd die for him.
@✦ Daehyun “Sure, I will come.” Kris said with a yawn stretching his arms and back before turning to Daehyun. He was honestly a little confused why the boy even asked. “Not like you will survive even a day without out me. You will set yourself on fire or freeze you drown if I’m not around to look after you.” He teased with a bright smile before turning his attention back around to the gaming table.
“Yes, yes…” He shook his head laughing not even looking over to Daehyun making clams. “You are always innocent when the funding disappears and your plans are really amazing.” Carelessly Kris place a bet while sarcastically praising Deahyun his voice had a playful tone to it since they both knew that when it came to money Kris was more reliable but then again reliable wasn’t as much fun. “You still have some old war cannon at my place by the way mind picking it up?” He finally turned to look at the other while throwing the dices.
It didn’t take long at all to double the money they had started off with. “Meat sounds nice. Maybe we find a big meat buffet place in euphoria? I mean they do eat meat there or are they all vegetarian to safe the animals?” He asked scratching the back of his head looking to Deahyun in question. “Not that I don’t like Vegetables but with our budget the last few weeks I at too much of them.” It wasn’t like they were living together or had a joined money account or anything but since Kris only money sources was selling found treasure and using Deahyun and a money cow in casinos, he kinda decided to take care of the other in exchange. When the boy was buried in his evil plans he might even forget to eat or sleep or even take care of himself or at least that’s how it always looked to Kris so instead he started bringing him food and making him take breaks.
With a smile and a wallet full of money Kris pulled Deahyun out of the Casino playfully avoiding the guards that accused them of cheating. Right at the door he turned around one last time. “If you can proof, we cheated come find me otherwise shut up.” With those words he turned around running away with a loud laugh. It was always the same the casino hated the fact that they made so much money of off them but they could never proof them any cheating so they would keep the money and leave while making a ruckus.
@✦ Kris “Maybe but they always think they are so much better while it is them who ruined this place in the first place. And now they feel like giving Malum a chance? They will see what good it is for them,” Daehyun growled. If Euphoria had not banned them away, all of them would have bloomed and not withered away in a place like Malum. So it was on the oh-so-very-great-heroes that the kids of villains who had never done anything wrong, had been ruined and tainted so easily. But of course they would not take responsibility for that. “Oh I am sure and I will go and find it,” Daehyun said and grinned, nodding eagerly. He was one hell of an evil spawn and he was here to hurt Euphoria where it would make it bleed the worst. “I will take a peek for sure.” Oh he would. And then he would find a way to make Euphoria regret what they did. But not as obvious as they had just blown up the building. “Will you come with me though?” he then asked curiously. Having Kris with him would make him feel more comfortable and safer after all. He was his only trusted person.
“Yah! I am good with getting us money too!” Just that Daehyun did not gamble most of the time. But that was only Kris’ and his secret and no one else needed to know about that at all. Ever. Or at least for now. “I am sorry, some cool stuff always stops me on the way, you know me!” He huffed slightly. After all he could easily access people’s money if needed so there was that. He was trying to keep a low profile though it was hard sometimes. “Some things need to be bought or stolen. You know me.” He gently nudged his best friend, a bright grin on his lips. “Also my plans are amazing most of the times!” They were, that was not a lie, though they often ended in a big disaster so there was that.
Nodding slightly Daehyun took the chips and followed Kris. “We should get us some food afterwards. A buffet sounds cool, I am in.” He grinned at his best friend. “Or we could go and get you a meat buffet. Just for the two of us.” But that would mean they had to buy a lot and therefore win a lot of money first. “Mh, nah, lets go to the buffet.” Malum might be one dirty place but it had great food and great places to eat after all though it could sadly not compete with Euphoria. The food was just higher quality. “Deal, we will go eat in Euphoria,” he nodded and huffed. Oh right, he had forgotten that he was not allowed in most buffets any longer – not that he cared. “Okay,” he nodded when Kris’ decided for one game and stopped there as well. “Let’s see how much we can win.” They were both pretty lucky when it came to gambling after all.
@✦ Daehyun “Pity points or not you know that they might have information that can be of help. It would do you good not to forget that. For millennia the people of Euphoria kept supressing evil. I’m sure that somewhere deep within the city is a room full with evil plans and weapons strong enough to take over the world. They have collected them over the years why else do you think they build the city exactly were it is.” Kris said with his eyes at the horizon towards Euphoria. He wasn’t going to move to be a better person. But he would definitely go to the great city of good to discover all its secrets. But that was a story for another day and since he knew Daehyun well enough to not try and talk him into anything he shook his head laughing. “I’m just saying maybe it’s not that bad to take a peek some time.”
Putting his thoughts aside he caught the other when he was tumbling laughing to himself. “Well first we gamble and then what ever money we get and I say we but we both know I mean me… What ever money I get we can used for food and other stuff but this time I will keep the money. Not like last time I asked you to go get food and you come back with some grenade launcher or whatever that thing was.” Kris complained the whole way down the stairs and only when they reached the casino, did he stop. It was convenient to have Daehyun with him sure but that didn’t mean that they should just blow away the money on anything that was destructive. Kris sighed even though he said he would look after the money he already knew that he wouldn’t be able to keep it safe for long. It was always the same he would used Daehyun to make money gambling then he would say this time it was his responsibility but then as soon as the other saw an opening the money would be blown on some crazy plan again.
With a thought full face Kris exchanged the last money he had for chips turning to face the other splitting them in half. “Honestly I’m craving some meat. Or maybe something a little fancier. Or what about buffets we haven’t been to a buffet in a long time.” He nods to himself thinking that a buffet wasn’t a bad idea since they had everything he was craving and as much of it as he wanted. “Let’s first gamble and then let’s hit up some high-end buffet. Heard there is a good one in Euphoria most buffets here in Malum don’t allow us in after the last escaped there so I would say let’s conquer some knew territory.” The chips in his hands were clacking against each other as they moved about in a rather professional manner before landing heavy on a table. “Let’s play this.”
@✦ Kris A bright grin was seen on Daehyun’s lips. “I know, right? It’s beautiful!” But the smell was nasty and he had to agree that even though watching the fire was beautiful, the smell was ruining it. Maybe it was better to just leave now. He was sure he would see pictures of the fire sooner or later. And the fake mourning people of whoever had died. Minor damage often happened.
A snort left Daehyun’s lips. “I don’t need a training camp. And I surely don’t need any pity points from Euphoria. They think they are so much better but they have so much evil in their veins, they just prefer to put a blind eye to it.” Of course he knew that Daehyun was joking. It was not a secret after all. Though he found it funny how many were leaving their home behind so easily. Yes, Malum was nasty. But it was their home after all, people seemed to forget that. Also doing mischief here was more interesting. A surprisingly soft laugh left Daehyun’s pretty lips and he nodded. “Sounds good to me,” he hummed in agreement. “Or maybe I’ll just use my powers a bit.” He winked at Kris. “And then we should go eat something nice.” He wasn’t hungry yet but he liked going out to eat something nice with Kris. “Maybe even check out Euphoria a bit. I heard they have nice food.”
Laughing amused Daehyun followed Kris, almost stumbling over his own feet but he didn’t mind it. There was barely anyone who was allowed to push and drag him around like Kris but the other was his best friend, his favourite person, and he clearly could probably even stab him and Daehyun would accept it. There was no one he easily trusted but he would probably even put his life in Kris' hands of necessary. Luckily it never was. “Anything you want to eat later?” he asked curiously as he followed him to their place to gamble for money. Luckily most people did not know who Daehyun was or that he actually did have powers so it was pretty convinient.
@✦ Daehyun Kris just rolled his eyes as Daehyun was arguing semantics with him over if he actually started a fire or not. With a laugh he knocked the boy on the head shaking his. “Sure, sure oh grand master of fires you truly started a magnificent one this time.” He only replied as he looked up at the sky.
With a wrinkled nose Kris just shot the other an are you kidding me look at the question. Of course, he hated the smell it was discussing and irritating enough to nearly make his eyes tear up and it really smelled like death. So, with a question as obvious as this one, ignored he finally got the other to comply and get up. Now that he was holding on to his arm Kris first got them off the roof and out of the way of that smell. “How about I get you some safety training for explosive substance I’m sure they offer something like that at some Euphorian trainings camp for future good guys.” He answered playful quickly moving out of Daehyun’s reach to avoid any back lash the boy could think of. Tilling his head in thought he suddenly nod. “I think I know what we can do. Let’s go down to the game hall and win some money your last expedition into evil world domination took a lot of funding so we should play some cards and make some money.”
With his decision made he just pulled the boy along not really bothering if he was ok with it or not since Kris had set his mind on it there would do it no matter what so it was easier to just pull the other along then start a discussion. He was with money a little like Daehyun with his evil plans he would make sure to go though with his plans of making money even if they would end in disaster as long as the result were some nice crisp notes in his head he didn’t mind. Then again, he was les chaotic and more organized then Daehyun so it was easier to actually follow his own plans. Thinking about it they would make the perfect serial killer duo. One organized and with some control over the other while at the same time trying to make him happy and fulfil his wishes. While the other chaotic and a free spirit enjoying the world to the fullest. It was really a turn of luck that they didn’t discover the art of serial killing for them.
@✦ Kris Hearing his friend laugh made Daehyun felt awkwardly proud. He liked having Kris around him, it was a nice comfortable friendship they were having and the other knew how to deal with him - unlike many others, after all. A short grimace was seen on his face though as the other ruffled his hair, something he did not like too much but as long as it was his best friend, he did not mind it. "Clearly," Daehyun said as he looked at the other, a grin on his lips, "I can as you can see. Might have started as a fire, turned into an explosion but this is now still a fire after all," he said and grinned almost proudly. "I cannot start a /small/ fire though. That is true." Of course Kris had been right, with everything he had said. But Daehyun would not be Daehyun if he had been stubborn enough to just ignore what the other said and went ahead and cause some trouble. It usually was like this, unless Daehyun noticed that his friend was really uncomfortable. Then, sometimes, he made up excuses to stop being as chaotic as he usually was.
"Aww, you do not like the smell, huh?" Daehyun teased, gently nudging the other but eventually getting up and humming. It was quite a disgusting smell, he had to admit, and maybe leaving now was a good idea. People would know who had caused this but usually no one ever even came to interrogate him anymore. They knew he was dangerous and highly unpredicatble so they rather stayed away. Sometimes that was sad, Daehyun liked messing with people a lot. "Though, where will we go?" he asked and let the other pull him onto his feet, grabbing the other's arm and following him. "Anything you have in mind you want ot do?" He followed Kris of course, staying close. He was probably the only company he willingly accepted so easily.
@✦ Daehyun With the fire heating up his face even though it was a few buildings away Kris really couldn’t help but shake his head. A small fire Daehyun said, just a few chemicals here and there and some other things mixed in and everything would be alright but cobblers it all went up in one big explosion. Of course, Kris had told the other it would happen, he had talked and talked to make him realize it wouldn’t work the way he thought it would but well not like he minded the outcome one bit. With a laugh he placed his arm around Daehyun’s shoulder ruffling his hair. “Just to keep traditions I told you it wouldn’t work. But you are right it is beautiful.” With that he leaned back against the rooftiles his arms crossed behind his head. “Do you believe me now? You can’t start a fire with chemicals that are highly explosive.” Turning his head to the side he gave the boy a look that clearly said You should have just listened to me. But they both knew it was more Kris’ way of showing his triumph about being right than anything. If Daehyun would listen to him more often life would be really dull so even though he enjoyed playing the voice of reason telling his best friend I told you so after the fact, if he know that his word would have an actually impact of reason on the man he would definitely not voice the before the calamity happened.
With an unhappy huff he sat up straight sniffing the air before actually standing up. “Let’s leave the small is really intolerable.” Not even waiting for an answer he pulled Daehyun up and along to find something else to do some new mischief to cause. It was something like week to monthly ritual. His friend would come up with some plan it would go really wrong Kris would laugh and tell him that he saw this happen from the start and then he would drag the other off to have some fun until the next inspiration would struck and the next plan was hatched.
@✦ Kris Of course it did not went as planned. It often did not go as planned but it was never really bothersome to Daehyun. He liked the chaos, he liked when things went wrong, he liked to create more havoc than he had actually planned, just like today. He had only wanted to start a little fire in one of the bigger buildings around here – he had disliked the owner for a long while already so it was nothing new that he wanted to get some revenge on him. Revenge for something the owner never had done, at least not yet. But who was Daehyun to really care, right? So now the fire had turned into a rather nasty explosion, a bright grin on Daehyun’s lips.
“Well, that looks beautiful,” he said while the building was burning brightly in front of them, his legs danging from the rooftop of a vacant house not too far away. “Just sad, that I don’t get to toy with that prick,” he admitted and there was a small pout, something he rarely showed but around Kris it was okay. The other was his best friend and meant the world to him, something he rarely admitted or would let anyone know. But he was his family. “He would have deserved it.” Looking at the other, he wondered what Kris was thinking about. It was not too often that like this and after all Kris had warned him that, of course, it would go wrong.
Slightly Daehyun grimaced when the smell of burned plastic got to his nose – he did not like it. From further away he could hear sirens but the firefighters would be way too late to save anyone. Whoever had been in the building was now long gone, burned to ashes in a beautiful explosion after all.
