"They ARE the same! What are they even doing to stop the chaos then?! You don't see White Moon senshi going out and 'stealing energy' to the point people DIE. What kinda bullshit did they feed you? 'Oh, we're just trying to make the world safe from the White Moon, they don't belong here!' Something like that, right?" The hand that tried to grab Chara's sash was violently kicked at, and he chose now as a good time to walk back to the Dark Mirror Senshi and place his heel on his thigh this time, pressing down hard.
He just kept talking. Nonsense about him not being a hero. The bully part was totally true, he wouldn't even try to challenge that.
"Yeah, a Bully. A bully who gets s**t done. Tell me, Mr. Dark Mirror Senshi," His heel came down to grind the soft flesh again. "Where were you when the Subway station was attacked months ago? Were you there? Did you SEE the bodies on the ground? No, not one was the cause of a White Moon's wrath. Every single victim, every star seed stolen was due to the Negaverse. And I don't give a flying ******** if someone you 'happen to have met' on the Negaverse side was nice or kind or some other complacent bullshit. They aren't stopping the killings. They participate because they are scared and want something that doing the right thing won't get them. I'm sure they were there too, taking the very SOULS of mothers and fathers and children and innocents because some evil 'queen' told them to."
His foot moved away, and he knelt down beside the gasping man, his fingers so tempted to come up and curl themselves around his throat. Maybe he'd stop speaking bullshit then.
"Are you some weak little 'pacifist' too? Some idealist who wants to 'hold hands' and 'be nice' to everyone? Oh, just because you're in some bullshit organization that thinks it's not either chaos or order you can be the 'bridge' between our factions? Ain't going to happen. Go on, ask your own boss what your true purpose is then. I doubt it is something as simple as being 'peace keepers'. If it is, you're doing a s**t job at it."

"Some didn't have a choice becoming part of the Negaverse," Ptolemy protested. "And not all of them murder people. You're making a generalization again. How many have you even met?" He yelped as his hand was kicked at and his eyes widened when he felt the pressure of Chara's heel from earlier return, this time on his thigh.
He grunted at the grinding of the heel again, but the pain wasn't enough to distract him from the information regarding the subway station. He hadn't known anything about that. It was true; he himself didn't know all that much about the Negaverse. Even what Richard - Huntite - had told him hadn't been a great deal because he wasn't sure how much would have been okay to tell to a Dark Mirror Senshi. Richard as a murderer, though? Ptolemaeus couldn't picture it.
"No, I wasn't there," he admitted in a low voice. "And I'm not a pacifist or idealist." He tried to sort things out in his mind as he considered just how much this White Moon Senshi seemed to be taking this battle against the Negaverse personally. He wondered if that had had something to do with that wounded eye or if it had been a consequence of Chara's determination to fight them instead.
"Don't misunderstand me. We are chaotic. We're just not the same kind as the Negaverse. In your way of thinking, they might be considered Chaotic Evil. In that regard, the Dark Mirror Court would be Chaotic Neutral. We're not trying to be a bridge. We just don't care enough to help or hurt either side unless it benefits us." His little smirk returned. "You may be doing what you think is right, but that concept is so subjective depending on what perspective you see it from that there's no point in even trying to figure it out anymore. That's why we just do what we want; what suits us. We don't hurt people, but we don't bend over backwards trying to help them, either. If you stay out of our way, we'll stay out of yours."
Ptolemaeus rolled his eyes. "I don't know why you would even care so much about a world that doesn't do a thing for you, anyhow. If it's all going to go to hell, why not let it?"

"Choice or not, there's ALWAYS the option for change. And I'll KEEP making a generalization over and over again until those 'forced in' get their heads out of their asses and do what's RIGHT"
Oh. Oh boy did Chara's blood begin to boil at that.
We just don't care. That apathy.. They didn't care who lived or who died. They didn't care who got hurt in the process. Chara's hand moved upwards on Ptolemaeus' chest, grasping tightly on the flimsy dark fabric there and pulling his face closer.
"Apathetic, huh? Doesn't matter of a poor child is killed in the process of the world that the Negaverse is trying to build or if a youma mauls a grandmother to death in the park. What right do you have then to question how I think? You're just gonna do you, huh?" His voice was so low, so off that one would notice just something wasn't right anymore. His other hand came up off to the side, bubbling up with the kisses he was just getting used to. Even through his glove he could feel them burn, though never as bad as it would be on an enemy's skin.
"Then maybe you SHOULD just die." Without any further warning, Chara pulled the man closer, and brought up his handful of bubbling, burning chocolate to make contact. That smirk wouldn't last for long, he was sure. He's burn it all away. He'd burn ALL of the chaos away!
Kitomyx Chara is pissed now and isn't at 100% in thinking. Ptole is free to try to escape from the attack, it's the same Super Senshi attack

"Now there's irony for you. You say there's always the option for change and expect others to do so, but then you say you're determined to stay the same in your beliefs. Aren't you being a tad hippocritical, there?"
Ptolemaeus' brows rose as he was yanked closer by the front of his clothes. "If you have such a problem with the way I do things, maybe you should try to change my mind instead of just being so set on condemning me for it." His body automatically tensed at the anticipation of more pain and his heart began to accelerate with the rush of adrenaline, but he kept his expression free of fear. Even when he heard the reasoning leave Chara's voice.
Instead of trying to make a break for it, however, the senshi of change decided to make another stupid decision by using unpredictability and surprise to attack. Being brought to close to Chara's face already, it didn't take much more effort for him to lean forward with the intention of meeting Chara's lips with his own.

Chara had not anticipated this.
Nope, not at all.
He expected screaming, or a fight, or being punched in the face, but soft lips upon his own?
Nope.
And it froze him in place as his mind tried to register what the ******** was happening. The bubbling chocolates in his hand still filled the air around them, but missed their intended target completely, going over the Dark Mirror's Shoulder instead when he overshot the estimated distance between his fist and the man's face. Chara's eyes just widened in confusion as to what the ******** just happened.
All that talk and s**t just went straight out the window while Chara's mind just gave a 404 page not found error for a good long while. Maybe he was stabbed, maybe this was just all some sort of sick joke that his mind was playing on him. Why else would this b*****d have the GALL to steal his first kiss?
And yet still, thinking of all of this, of all the s**t the man was spewing before, he didn't pull away. What the HELL? Why couldn't he pull away?!

As his tactic seemed to have been successful, Ptolemaeus decided to enjoy himself a bit longer, leaning into the kiss with his eyes closed before eventually pulling away to allow them both to breathe. He licked his lips thoughtfully.
"Wow. Even those kisses of yours taste like chocolate. I wonder if the rest of you does, too?" Again, probably not the smartest thing to say, but Ptolemaeus knew for a fact he wasn't the smartest of people. His head was still reeling from the pain Chara had induced and he'd wanted a little bit of payback against the younger teen.
What Chara probably didn't know was that Ptolemaeus, being a sadomasochist, was turned on by both pleasure and pain and while the DMS had been doing his best to act civil and not let the others' actions affect him, the chocolate senshi digging his heel into the older teen's thigh was very unhelpful. Ptolemaeus had almost begun to think the other had been baiting him.
Judging by the Order senshi's reaction, though, that was probably not the first thing on Chara's mind. Ptolemy smiled softly as he put his hand over Chara's to try to ease his grip from his shirt. "I should have guessed that was the problem from the start. Figures, what with you throwing such angry tantrums. You must have a lot of sexual frustration pent up." Chuckling lightly, he put out a hand to stroke Chara's cheek. "Or maybe it was just loneliness...?"

He felt it. He felt those lips push ever so closer into his own and just couldn't fight back from it. His own eyes closed for just brief moment. while images of several different people passed before his eyes, people he had wanted to do this with. People who he worried about and wanted to make their lives better but was just too damned stubborn to change anything about himself.
And when their lips parted, here was no response from Chara after his eyes opened, only the ever baffled expression of 'what the ever living ********, dude?!' plastered on his face.
Yeah, probably. was the first semi coherent thought that came through his mind since the contact happened and Chara was pissed off at himself for it. Of COURSE his mind would respond to the sexual comment about tasting like chocolate. What he really that desperate for some sort of contact from a world beyond what was in his head that he'd even let some sort of psychotic freak touch him in such a way?
Yeah, probably. There it was again and his stunned face finally turned into a scowl and he looked down at his hand that was still clutching at the other's shirt. The other man would find no resistance from him to loosen his grip. In fact, it fell rather limply.
He should have bit the ever living ******** out of that hand that touched his cheek! He should have had himself spitting out a finger after tearing the digit right out of it's socket with his bare teeth.
But he didn't.
Instead he nearly leaned against it, wondering in how this all felt. Was it always warm like this? Could a touch really be that gentle? It was fake, sure, but it was SOMETHING.
"This is all a game to you, isn't it?" He finally spoke up, his eyes turning back to Ptolemaeus'. There wasn't really any rage left, just exhaustion. It was so tiring being the way he was, feeding that desperate need to protect everyone even if they didn't give two shits about him. And yeah, he WAS lonely. and it sucked. It sucked a**. "You don't care about anything but yourself. Fine, you do that. Keep tugging at the world like it's some sort of game for you to play. But if everything keeps up, there won't be any world left, then where would you be?"

Chara's lack of resistance against his touch surprised Ptolemy and it showed on his face for a brief moment. The comment about it all being a game to him earned a pained smile, though; this time the hurt being emotional rather than physical.
"It'd be nice if I could just think of it that way," he replied. "As if this were all a game and I could think about nothing but myself. True; I try to act like that in the hopes that it might come to pass eventually. Because let's face it - it hurts too much to care about others." That's why he had left home, after all.
"But when I see people like you...fighting with all their being to protect others who aren't aware of or might not even want your help...I find myself being pulled in. Makes me want to know what keeps you going; what makes you so strong. I get curious." Ptolemaeus pushed himself up to his feet with some more effort and did his best to help Chara up as well.
Then he tried to give him a proper hug because at that moment he couldn't think of anyone who needed one more than this teen. "If everything keeps up, there won't be anything of you left. You'll run yourself ragged, exhausting yourself to the point of death for people who don't give a damn, and then where would you be? Trying to save people is all fine and dandy, but you need to take care of yourself, too. You've gotta make sure you're okay before you go out there trying to shoulder the world's problems, and right now, you seem like anything but okay to me."

"Tch.. Sounds like more bullshit to me. To hurt is to be human, and you look pretty human to me. Unless the Dark Mirror Senshi have some weird growth or some s**t under their clothes." With his face relaxed and his voice less murderous, Chara's age became a lot more evident. He was really just a scared young man in a world that he himself barely even understood. But he saw the bad things that happened and he couldn't let that go. The hand offered to him was taken just a bit reluctantly and he too made it to his feet.
"Curious, huh? Maybe you should be curious enough to want to save people then." Of course, like the prickly cat he was , Chara flinched away from the hug, but it seemed innocent enough, hell anything would be more innocent than that. And curiously enough, he hugged back. Gods, when was the last time he was even hugged? Was it a year? Maybe two? Even if was with a creepy grinning dickbag, it felt nice... And just a little warm.
"I'm not selfish like you. I don't care what happens to me if others are okay. I'm strong. I'll fight and fight and ******** s**t up for as long as it takes just to know I made a difference in SOMEONE'S life, whether they know it or not." The hug only lasted a few seconds before he started getting uncomfortable and shoved the older man away.
"Try helping someone other than yourself, Mr. Dark Mirror Senshi. Maybe you'll find a reason to pick a side. The RIGHT Side."

"I'm not saying I can avoid getting hurt completely, but it's also human to want to try to avoid it, right?" he asked, his smile broadening a bit. "We all have our defense mechanisms. I grit my teeth against the pain; grin and bear it as best I can. You let your anger fuel you as you try to fight back, because how can anyone see how tired or lonely you are if you're biting their heads off?"
"Heh. If someone tried to convince me that the world was worth saving, maybe I would. I'm the senshi of change, after all; I believe all things are changeable. Minds included if someone can make a good enough argument."
Ptolemaeus smiled genuinely as Chara returned his hug. It was still a bit painful from the burns and other injuries he'd had inflicted on his body from before, but due to his high pain tolerance, he could deal with it. It was worth it, anyway, to be able to do something for the other senshi.
"I may be selfish," he murmured after listening to the younger teen's explanation, "but isn't that also human nature? It's pointless to do things if there's nothing in it for you. You say you want to make a difference in someone's life, but whose? If I were you, I'd want to make sure that person was worth fighting for or at least that it was possible to make a difference in their life before I tried to do so. Doesn't it worry you that whatever you do might not amount to anything otherwise?" He caught his balance as he was shoved away, not seeming to mind.
Ptolemy grinned again at the mention of sides. "Why don't you tell me what makes your side the right side, hmm? If I cared about someone, it wouldn't matter to me what side they were on. I don't bother with politics or things on the grander scale. Being selfish allows me to focus on what really matters to me. For example, if you were asked to choose between saving ten people you knew or a thousand people you didn't know, what would you do? Huh, Mr. The-World-Is-Black-And-White?"

"Don't argue humanity with me. It's a ******** loaded question and you know it." Chara wasn't good at arguing, to be completely obvious. He believed in hard solid facts.
"I know the Negaverse Kills indiscriminately. And I know that's wrong. Were it something else, like they only killed criminals or those who get away with crime, then it would be a bigger issue. But it's not. There's no 'deeper meaning'. And my black and white world only applies to the Negaverse. Talk to me about right and wrong and black and white AFTER you see the blood and the s**t of civilians spray all over a schoolground turned battlefield." As booksmart as he was, the philosophy on life just wasn't something Chara cared about. At All.
"If you're the Senshi of Change, then I'm sure you won't mind me changing the subject." There was an unreasonable amount of pride that came from thinking that dumb phrase up. He really didn't realize he probably only got that from hearing it earlier during the fight.
"In the end, I think you're just an a*****e, and I'm pretty sure even if you WERE on the Side of the White Moon you would be, going through alleyways, creeping on people, stealing peoples first kisses. Yeah, grade A a*****e." The young senshi wasn't ashamed that he hadn't kissed anyone. He was more pissed that he had that stolen from him by some older creep who wanted to lecture him about life. What the ******** did he even know?

"Is it? Sounds less wrong than killing selectively. At least they're fair in their equality," he pointed out. "And who's to say who's a criminal and who's not? By law, someone who steals money to save their dying child is a criminal whereas someone who can get away with murder because they have a good lawyer would be considered a law-abiding citizen. There are no straight lines, kiddo. There are always exceptions."
He sighed heavily. "What you're describing may seem wrong to you, but maybe it's not wrong to them. I mean, I've been told most of the Negaverse are comprised of corrupt, brainwashed individuals, but like I said, everything can be seen from a different perspective. Like what if Metallia or whoever the Negaverse leader is believes that she's helping the Earth because humans are overpopulating it and she's thinning them out so they don't deplete all their resources?"
"Alright, alright, I got it," Ptolemy conceded, putting up his palms in surrender. "Wouldn't want to make you question your moral high ground to the point you lose your balance. I won't deny that I'm an a*****e and a creep. But - wait, what did you just say? Did you say 'stealing peoples' first kisses'?" A funny look came over the dark mirror senshi. "Hold up. That wasn't your first kiss, was it?"

"I'll kill them all if need be. Let humans run themselves into the dirt. Atleast it was THEIR choice, and not the choice of some third party who killed them all." Finally he shut up! It took the old b*****d long enough to do so!
Chara really didn't want anything else to do with him at this point. He needed to punch something and the older man's face was just itching to meet his fist with his stupid grins and sly words.
"Yeah, you a**, it was. What, do you think I go about kissing every mad dickbag I come across. You stole that from me, and now I want something back in return. How about kick your nuts in? One good shot should equal a stolen first kiss. Hell, I'm letting you get off easy. Your nuts will get better. My lips won't ever that that s**t back, though." Hell, even if he didn't get 'permission' to do so, it WAS tempting to just do it anyway. He probably was faster than the Dark Mirror Senshi so he could just zoop right in and do it.
But, he wasn't as pissed off as he was before, so he'd give Ptolemy a chance to make the decision for himself.

Ptolemaeus laughed aloud at the other teen's claim that he would kill them all, but he abruptly stopped and clutched his stomach when it began to protest with the bruises caused by Chara's heel prior. Still, he managed to snicker softly. "You're a riot, cupcake."
He wanted to stop grinning to maybe save the other some dignity if he could, but at this point he didn't think it was possible. His grin was stretched so wide, it hurt his face. "I figured you must have had a girlfriend or at least a prom date kiss in the past. Maybe not for long, given your charming personality, but not even one kiss?" He backed up a bit out of his instinct for self-preservation. There was no telling if he'd be punched in his already-aching gut again. The comment about his nuts only caused him to be more wary.
"Damn...and here I thought that 'first kiss' stuff was something that only girls made a huge fuss about. Alright, princess. You wanna touch me there? Go ahead." He walked back the steps he had retreated with a sly smirk. "I mean, technically it was your fault for giving me no other choice because the alternative was burning my face off with those nasty chocolates of yours. But fine."
"Oh, one thing you might wanna know," he added with a malicious glint in his eye. "I'm a sadomasochist. In case you're too young to know the term, it means I get off on pain." Yes, maybe he was being a creep, but after all he'd had to endure, Ptolemaeus felt like indulging himself a little. Plus the White Moon Senshi was just too fun not to mess with.

That twitch in Chara's fingers had quickly returned the more Ptolemaeus continued to pick at him for his confession.
"I don't have TIME for any ******** dates or dumb school events when there are people out there DYING." He could feel is ears burn hot as the man continued to get awkwardly sexual with him, and that just wasn't sitting well with him.
THEN the b*****d had to go ahead and dig at his chocolate. Sure they kinda looked like melted s**t, but it was HIS melted s**t of an attack. Fine. Fire with fire it was then.
Chara's expression changed completely, his eyes closing ever so slightly and his face relaxing to a more shy expression. Atleast that's what he was going for anyway. A hand came up to grip at the collar of Ptolemy's shirt, pulling him down alot more gently than he had when they were on the ground. The height difference between them was beyond awkward so he had to pull him down way farther than he'd like to admit.
After a moment his other hand came up to rest on Ptolemy's cheek, brushing his thumb lightly over the tattoo that was there. He wasn't that awful looking when his ******** mouth was shut. Chara was so close to the man, he could feel his breath tickling over the other's lips, only a few centimeters away.
But no way in ******** was he getting the man get the satisfaction he wanted. The hand on Ptolemy's cheek shifted over quickly and grabbed at his hood, pulling him down further, holding him in place, and with as much Senshi power as he could, Chara kneed the older man in the gut, right where he was grinding his heel before.
