”Prompt” An old church you are familiar with and have seen many times has recently been closed due to fire damage. The area has been deemed too dangerous for anyone to enter, and yet you notice a strange gargoyle perched on the roof. It is large and imposing and you know it’s never been there before. If you try to climb up the building or if you leave the area and return, the gargoyle will have disappeared. You never see it move, but you know you saw it. Giant stone sculptures don’t just up and fly away…right? Whatever it is you saw, it’s gone now, but you might want to keep your eyes on the rooftops and pay attention when the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
To Chara, however, it was a peaceful place, and he looked at it in almost sadness when he saw it’s charred and soggy remains. It wasn’t the biggest or fanciest of churches but it was nice, with an almost ancient feel to it, even though it wasn’t erected too too long ago. It seemed as if nothing had survived the fire… None of the insides anyway, but there was something strange and out of place there…
“The ********…?” This must have been some sort of prank or something. Chara knew there weren’t any gargoyles up there before the fire. This wasn’t some ******** gothic looking bullshit of a church, it was nice and brick and plain, so just what the ******** was going on? “I swear to god, it’s like people don’t have any respect for anything around here!”
Whatever it was, he was going to knock it the ******** down, and made his way over to kick down the remains of whatever gateway that had been there, letting a loud CRASH to resound in the alley. Whelp, him being here wasn’t a secret anymore.
The yelling and resonating crash startled a dirty blonde young man who had taken advantage of the church being off-limits to sleep within its damaged interior undisturbed. He thought at first that he had been caught trespassing and immediately powered up in order to flee the premises as swiftly as possible. Once he had done so, however, the Dark Mirror Senshi sensed the energy signature of another sailor scout nearby and guessed that said scout might have been the source of the noise. It was a White Moon Senshi, and a super one at that. Anxious but curious, Kissling quietly and carefully ventured outside to locate the newcomer who had woken him so abruptly.
It didn’t take him long to find him. He seemed really angry, though Kissling couldn’t imagine why. When he took a step back to find out where the small-statured super’s attention was focused, pink eyes grew wide. Was that a gargoyle? What was it doing up there? Had it found Kissling while he’d been sleeping and been planning to eat him? And what was the other senshi planning to do with it? Battle it?
Kissling wasn’t fond of conflict, but perhaps he could dissuade the other senshi from trying to engage in a battle with whatever it was. Even if the teen was a super senshi, the the dirty blonde wasn’t certain the kid could take the gargoyle-looking creature on alone and win. Maybe he could get the monster to go away and they could avoid any sort of fight at all. Going around to the opposite side of the scorched building, Kissling began to scale it in the hopes of shooing away the intruder on the rooftop. Hopefully he wouldn’t get eaten.It didn’t take long at all for Chara to break past the gates and take a few steps within the grounds. Everything was scorched and it was just… So incredibly sad. Even if he wasn’t religious, there was something about a burnt abandoned building like this that left his heart aching for it. That was impressive in itself, given the fact that he often prided himself in being a cold hearted young man generally.
For a brief moment, his gaze turned up into the building itself, swearing he could feel eyes on him. They didn’t feel threatening, but they were there, he was certain. Then suddenly he felt the blip of a chaos member in the area and he scowled immediately. It wasn’t Negaverse, that he could tell, so it was probably another one of those Dark Mirror Bastards… At the moment Chara seemed to be on neutral terms with them, given how he made up with Ptolemaeus and almost sought out the ones he had beaten up before to apologize, but this particular b*****d was lurking near this building that had burned down, so he couldn’t help but think they were the ones who started the fire.
“Oi! Who the ******** is up there?!” He shouted from his place on the ground, hearing the building creak and groan under the stress of someone climbing up the side. While normally it wouldn’t have been a noticeable sound, with everything else dead silent around here, it wasn’t hard to hear the shuffling of tiles falling to the ground as someone climbed up scorched remains. In fact, he was sure that the other person who was there could hear his own footsteps collide with the front of the church as he quickly climbed up the side in a few steps.
Chara had expected to come face to face with that goddamn gargoyle that was up there earlier, but the moment he reached the top, it was gone…
“You’ve got to be ******** shitting me…” Scanning the area, he tried to see if he was mistaken… It was there, he knew it! But now it wasn’t and it made no sense and, quite frankly, it freaked him the ******** out. “Whoever’s there, come out here! And bring that ******** gargoyle back too!”
The sharp tone caused Kissling to flinch when he realized he had been discovered. It was possible the super senshi might have been referring to the gargoyle-looking creature, of course, but at the moment he knew he was making far more noise than whatever they’d seen on the roof. Knowing he would seem more suspicious if he didn’t respond, he peered around the side of the church...but the brown-clad kid was gone. Kissling could still hear him, though, and he sounded like he was getting closer. Was he climbing the building now, too? What if he got to the top and the creature before he did?
Scrambling to beat the White Moon Senshi to the top, the blonde eventually pulled himself up onto the rooftop - only to find the gargoyle gone and the golden-eyed boy standing there looking confused. Oh...he has an eyepatch, Kissling noticed now that he saw him up close. I wonder if it’s real or just part of his outfit. Breathing hard, he pushed himself to his feet and smiled at his fellow sailor scout.
He didn’t know why the gargoyle was gone or how it had left, but he was glad there was no longer anything or anyone for the short young man to pick a fight with. Well...except for him, that was, but they could be reasonable about this. Right?
“Hi!” he greeted warmly, raising a hand. “I’m Kissling. I saw the gargoyle you’re talking about, but I don’t know what happened to it. Hehehe...guess there’s no reason to stick around here anymore if it’s gone now, though, huh?” he chuckled anxiously, spreading his arms as he shrugged.”Well, I’m waiting!” He called out again, the irritation growing in his voice the longer he stood on the roof. Using his foot, he shifted a shingle around and noticed that maybe it wasn’t the safest place to be up here. It crumbled pretty easily under his foot, but he was too stubborn to just walk away yet. When the other did finally decide to join him, Chara felt how Kissling seemed to be sizing him up and scowled again, ready to lash out the moment some sort of sarcasm left the Dark Mirror’s lips.
Surprisingly, Chara didn’t expect someone to actually answer him softly. It was far more likely for someone to dive in and try to attack him instead of answering in a friendly way. It was certainly what Chara would have done himself if they were roll reversed. It was a basic Dark Mirror, so he tried to relax and not let the tension and general irritation guide his words and actions. For once in his life, he didn’t really want to make more enemies, especially given the fact that no Dark Mirror had hurt him intentionally in months.
Just how winded was this guy to be breathing like that after having reached the roof? He was a pretty boy, he’d give him that though… And he had a nice smile, the kind that seemed to make Chara relax a bit more.
“Uh… Hi. I’m Chara.” Damn, that felt weird, being all calm during a first meeting with anyone chaos. “You saw it? ********… It must be some stupid ******** crazy s**t again… You’ve heard about it right? The swamp monsters and the ******** bats and all of that s**t that’s going on? I don’t know what you’re doing here, but it’s not safe to hang around here if that gargoyle decides to come back and it has a taste for blondies.”

Kissling blinked. For someone who had been yelling and cursing so much, the super senshi seemed to calm down pretty quickly. Was it because he liked what he saw? The pink-eyed scout laughed at the thought. “You’re cute,” he declared. “And young-looking. How old are you, Chara?”
Upon being asked about the monsters that had been sighted around the city recently, the blonde nodded. “I was sleeping here when I heard you and woke up. If you hadn’t said anything, It might have carried me off or eaten me right then and there. So you probably saved me.” Beaming, he bowed. “I’m indebted to you, now. But, you know, I’m not entirely defenseless.” Rising again, he cast the teen a flirtatious wink. “Even so, thanks for the warning. I’m not used to people caring enough to give them to me.”

What. The. ********?! Chara stood there, mouth parted slightly in disbelief as the man mentioned his looks, his age, and he just sputtered for a moment.
"Did you not hear me, you crazy a** blondie?! My age isn't none of your ******** buisness, neither is whether or not you get eaten! Why the ******** should I care in the first place?!" Despite his adamant protests, his cheeks had heated up to a nice hot tomato color, voice squeaking and cracking as he rushed the words out. No one ever called him cute, not like that, not some random a** stranger unless they wanted something. Especially not when it was some chaos a*****e... He knew better than that now.
"Who the ******** says I care about you?!" He squeaked again, stumbling back some more, feet closer to the edge of the rooftop than he liked. "Seriously, just... Just get the ******** out of here before you get yourself in trouble, okay?!"

The blonde laughed at the White Moon Senshi’s reaction, clasping his hands together in delight. “Easily-flustered, too. You don’t need to be shy! I just like you, that’s all.” Giggling, he asked, “If you didn’t care about me, why would you warn me?” But then he noticed Chara nearly running out of rooftop and his smile faltered. “Oops, don’t fall!” He said, extending an arm as if to be ready to grab the teen if he needed to. “You’re not afraid of me, are you?”
His smile turned sheepish and he glanced off to one side when he was told to leave. “Um...well, I don’t really have anywhere else to go. That’s why I was sleeping in the church. I didn’t think anyone would try to kick me out from there.”

"Dude, just ******** off already! I ain't afraid of your shitty a** pink looking face! I just hate chaos people and you ******** reek of it!" Chara lied through his teeth, moving to the side instead of closer to the edge. That's just what he needed, to have some dumb reason for some random jerk to put his arms around him. Nah, he didn't want that in the least!
For all his angry and embarrassment, he did pause and clenched his teeth together when Kissling mentioned not having anywhere to go.
"Well.. s**t, that sucks, but you shouldn't stay in this place. I mean, it burned down, and I'm sure that some creepyass youma will show up again. I don't give a ******** if you get eaten, but that's more energy for the Negaverse, and that I can't stand! Don't you have like... Some friends to go to see? Or maybe a homeless shelter that can take you in? ********, even a real church might let you snooze in there during the day... Something other than here."

While he listened to the other insult him, Kissling regarded Chara with a self-deprecating grin. "You don't like my face?" he asked, putting up a hand to stroke his fingertips across his cheek. "Oh. I'm sorry it offended you."
He beamed again at the super senshi's sympathetic remark on his circumstances. "Aww. Well I thought if it burned down, it was less likely someone would try to set fire to it again or destroy something already destroyed. But you're right; there still might be youma. I guess I just have to be on my guard. Don't want to be eaten!"
The suggestions about other places he could stay only earned more laughter. "They don't like me at homeless shelters because of...well, probably the same reason a real church wouldn't take me." The Dark Mirror Senshi cast Chara a mischevious look. "I make a lot of 'friends' who let me stay a night or two with them in exchange for a few favors. But the last one left me pretty sore, so...I'm not all that keen on finding a new one so soon." Chuckling, he looked over the edge of the roof. "Hehe...my chances might be better with the youma."Kapoodles ((Soooo I guess Gaia didn't notify me about the last quote. ^_^; Sorry about the delay. Only just saw the post.))

"Ugh... I ******** hate you goddamn Dark Mirror Senshi and your ******** twisted words. Can't you ever say anything plain an simple?!" As much as Chara wanted to sympathize and just.. Try to be nice, it always seemed like the Dark Mirror Court Senshi just liked to taunt him. And he, like an idiot, always fell for it.
Maybe he liked the attention, or was a glutton for punishment and that sort of thing... Either way, he tried to push away his need to be more aggressive and potentially kick the other off the roof in favor of atleast trying to be helpful.
"Look, I don't really care what you do with you do to find a place to stay for the night but... No one should have to put themselves out there to just sleep. And it's getting cold, so why don't you try some of your own people, some of the Court you're in?" He paused, trying to decide whether or not he should drop a name... Ptolemaeus wouldn't mind, right?
"I have a friend, uh.. Kinda friend, who is a Dark Mirror Like you. He's a d**k, but ultimately a good guy, I think... His name is Ptolemaeus. Dark eyes, dark hair in curls and slicked back... Uh, Blue hood, kinda chameleon looking. He's the Senshi of Change... I'm sure if you asked he'd let you stay, if you tell him you met Chara..." His thoughts went back to the fact that Kissling said something about being left sore, and it brought back that same vibrant red to his face.
"B-But don't you dare ******** him, okay?! Like... I mean, he's not mine or anything because, you know, he is on the other side, but You can't ******** him! I swear, if I find out you met him and ******** him, I'll kick both of your asses!"
Kitomyx No worries at all sweetie!

"Huh? What twisted words?" the blonde asked, looking perplexed as he ran a hand through his disheveled hair. "I thought mine sounded pretty plain and simple."
He blinked and considered Chara's suggestion. It was true...he had a compact mirror that supposedly would have allowed him to contact other court members. He hadn't really known what their lives were like outside of being senshi, though, so he hadn't really bothered to reach out. That would have meant revealing certain circumstances about his own civilian life if he'd asked to stay with them and he wasn't sure they would have looked at him the same after that.
"He's a...d**k, but a good guy?" Kissling asked, smiling slowly. "Whose words are twisted now?" He tried to recall anyone of the description Chara gave from the time when their court had been trapped together in Altea's castle. He thought maybe he could picture him, but wasn't sure, and he needed to be certain to contact them using the compact. "Um...does he have tattoos under his eyes?"
He would let him stay? That would be nice. But then the Senshi of Chocolate was turning red again and the older male had to bite his lip to keep from grinning too broadly. What was it now?
Oh, he didn't want them to sleep together. But Chara started babbling about not being his and other sides and Kissling had to laugh again. "But didn't I just say I was sleeping in a burned-down church because I didn't want to ******** anyone?"
The pink-clad young man reached out quickly but gently to try to take the other's hand and move them both away from the roof's edge. "Don't worry. I'll be fine here. Or somewhere else. There are plenty of other places I can find." He plucked his tiara off the top of his head to examine it. "If the other Dark Mirror Senshi know that I don't have any place to stay, they might see me like everyone else does. At least this way, to them, I could be just like any other normal person when I'm not Kissling."
Leaning over, he moved to plant his lips lightly on Chara's cheek. "Thank you for offering to trust me with your crush, though. That's awfully sweet of you."

"Yeah... yeah, that's him... I know what you said, but it's not you that I'm worried about, it's him... Like, I don't know what he does or who he sees but I know that I'm not the only person in his life, and I know that he'd never simply not sleep with someone just because the thought of it makes me sad, but atleast if I ask you now, and you see him, you have a reason to say no." Chara did his best to cool down his angry babbling from earlier, face still read from getting worked up, and his voice almost pleading at the end. He was just a dumb boy in love who wanted to help but knew he really couldn't, so that was the best he could do. When Kissling took his hand this time, he didn't pull away, only following him a little bit as he finally realized just how close to the edge he was. And even after being safely away from the rooftop, he didn't want to let go of the taller man's hand. Not yet.
"Ugh, don't tell me not to worry. I don't want to hear on the news that someone was mauled to death here by a youma or worse, had their star seed taken by those Negabastards. Yeah, okay, I'm angry and what not and I really don't care, but I would help myself if I could but rules are rules, and I have my secrets to keep." Peter probably wouldn't have been too happy with him if he brought some random ol' guy home, so there was that. Maybe one day he really would just have his own apartment and be able to take care of more people. He'd deny it til he was blue in the face, but he still kinda wanted to help.
The kiss... Well, Chara didn't know how to respond to it, his expression between what the ********> and embarrassment, only aggravated more by the fact that his heart was thudding harder in his chest at this stupidly pretty Dark Mirror being so close.
... If he met Ptolemaeus, would Chara even have a chance anymore? Damn, it was like night and day between the two of them, and he wasn't even sure if he cared. How could someone be so ******** aggravating AND nice at the same time?!
"D-don't do that..." He finally spoke up, giving the hand he still held a squeeze, perhaps a little tighter than he meant.
"Atleast try to reach out to him. He's... He'll help. And if not, he'll direct you to someone who can..."

At Chara's explaination, Kissling began to laugh. "Whaaaat? He sounds scaaary! I don't want to stay with someone you're worried will do me whether I want to or not." Grinning, he asked, "What do you mean 'I'll have a reason to say no'? Even without you asking me, my main reason is my sore body. Mostly my a**." He gestured with his free hand to his behind for emphasis.
Giggling, he pat Chara lightly on the back. "Really, though, relax! I'm a senshi too, aren't I? I have a way to defend myself." Which was more he could say for other homeless folk. Honestly, people he knew got mauled and drained and star seeded on the streets all the time. It was far too common for it to matter much to most people. If he himself became a victim, he doubted it would have been on the news, much less reached Chara.
Even if it had, how would Chara know it was him? And what even were they to each other? Nothing more than acquaintances. His death would have been no real tragedy to the White Moon Senshi, Kissling was sure, but he didn't mind going along with the charade that it would have. It was better than making a big deal out of the way things naturally were.
"Worrying is such a drag. Lighten up! You're too serious and it's going to make you age beyond your years." Kissling proclaimed, beaming as he pat the white-haired teen's cheek. "You need to smile more. I bet you're awfully cute when you smile."
Uh oh. This one must not have been used to much affection if he was having such a reaction over just a little kiss on the cheek. He really did take everything too seriously. "What? It was just a kiss," he giggled. "Are you kiss-deprived? You poor thing."
The squeeze to his hand reminded Kissling it was still being held and it was his turn to blush, flattered and charmed by the sweet innocence of the younger sailor scout. "And what if I don't want to listen to you?" he teased playfully, tapping Chara's nose. He failed to specify whether he was referring to the request not to kiss him again or to contact Ptolemaeus. "I don't really want my other court members knowing I live like this, but you found out. You won't tell anyone, will you~?" Tickle-me-pink eyes glittered with mischief as they met gold.

"Now you know damned well I didn't mean it like that!" Chara's face turned completely red this time, and he found himself briefly contemplating pushing Kissling right off the roof from here. Sure, it wouldn't kill him, but maybe it'd make him stop being so vulgar like he was!
"Sure you say that, but if you're sleeping and a youma comes up and takes a bite out of you, even powering up ain't gonna help that!" Ugh... Why was he even trying? It was obvious this was all just some ******** game to the Dark Mirror and it was late, he didn't want to keep playing it.
"You don't shut up do you...? If.. Uh.. If you kissed me again I will just..." What would he do? Kissling hit the nail on the head hard. He missed kissing and hugging people so much, He missed having that fake idea someone wanted him, and maybe if he kept pushing he'd give in. Why not? No one else cared to have him that way, maybe he really should just go around and sleep with people. It make Ptolemy feel better, didn't it?
"Geesh, you p***k.." Finally, Chara sucked in a breath and let the other's hand go, stepping back away from him towards the center of the building. "I'm going to tell them no matter what. Even jerks like you need help and if you're too stubborn not to say anything yourself, I'll say it for yah!"

Kissling absolutely adored Chara's reaction. He knew the super senshi was right about youma being a greater threat to him than he made them out to be, especially as a fairly new senshi himself, but he disliked discussing anything too serious. It embarrassed him, especially when he was the main subject.
"I think you're the one who needs to learn to shut up. Obviously, you don't know how to say what you're really thinking or feeling with your words, so it's not doing you any good." he answered with a smile, feeling sorry for the affection-starved teen. Pursuing the other toward his retreat at the center of the roof, Kissling reached out to grab Chara by his lacy brown bow and pulled him close. "Shut up and kiss me."
Don't tell them. Please.

Before Chara could even respond, he was tugged around like some weird little frilly yo-yo and pulled up flush against Kissling. In that moment, he felt both scared, intimidated by the fact that the other had pulled him so close against his will, and excited. Who else would tug him around like this? Demand something so intimate from him even if they were essentially strangers <********, he couldn't help it and when ordered to kiss him, he did. Chara stood on tiptoe and pressed a brief, almost nervous kiss to Kissling's lips before shoving him away as best he could.
"There! You got what you wanted! Now use your stupid goddamn ******** compact thing and call Ptolemaeus and ask him to go somewhere safe, okay?! Just do it! It won't kill you!"

What he'd wanted was to bestow a kiss so completely dominating of Chara's mind that the younger male entirely forgot to lecture or worry about Kissling's living conditions. His complete and utter failure at that was more disappointing than having been shoved away once the action had been completed.
Still, the blonde wasn't about to sulk. He beamed as brightly as if he could have asked for no better outcome. "Aww, thanks again! You're so kind to worry so much about a stranger!" Licking his lips, he added, "You smell and taste like chocolate, so I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that's what you're the senshi of. But if that's true, it's ironic you ran into the senshi of kisses."
Turning toward the direction Chara had shoved him away in, he gave a final wave as he prepared to make his departure. The sooner he got out of the super senshi's sight, the sooner he would be out of his thoughts and Chara would be troubled by Kissling and his situation no more. Even so, he couldn't help but to toss another playful smile over his shoulder. "It was very nice to meet you, Chara. And kiss you. You're very talented with your lips."

Damn that Kissling... Damn his smile and his words and his goddamn pretty teasing... He just... He got under Chara's skin in a way that Chara didn't exactly hate, but it still bothered the ******** out of him.
It really, truly sucked that Chara coudn't simply tell Kissling that he could stay with him. Hell, where would he have even put the other senshi? Peter would throw a fit, plus the whole powered thing... It just didn't work out at all.
The taunting about his tasted had him blushing, but rather than get mad, he only sighed.
"Just go, goddammit..." He groaned, half waving half flipping the other off before disappearing down the opposite side of the house. Once he was just out of sight, he couldn't help but gently touch his lips, trying to remember the sensation of Kisslings' lips against his own... He hated to say it but... It was nice... And were he honest with himself... It wasn't the worst thing that could have happened tonight, so he left there with a faint smile, still hoping that Kissling would find somewhere safe to stay for the night. Juuust in case, he'd swing back here before too late to make sure the other had gone elsewhere.
