[kavinsky notices some stuff is happening in the death god's head. it's like chum in the water for the vile shark that lives inside his soul. but he doesn't fall into the old frenzy, having been lulled by the metaphorical chin stroke or whatever that divers use to tame sharks ... okay this metaphor is going too far.
but he looks nico in the mirror, an eyebrow ticking upward an imperceptible fraction of an inch. that question wasn't actually meant to be a hard one. but then his eyes drop again and he steers the clippers a little lower, taking more coal-black locks off the base of nico's skull. he runs his finger along the other boy's scalp to make sure it's going to come out symmetrical and then hades' very own son doesn't try to kill him later.
no no he doesn't really think it'd go that way, if he were to be honest with himself. he's just not very good at honesty under the best of circumstances, and he's been eyes deep in his own miserable bullshit all week.] Competition? [oooooo. draaama. okay but not really. somehow, that doesn't surprise kavinsky entirely. he picks up a comb and starts poking around pretending he has any idea what he's doing.] Is it with Vex?
hayley this tag was so beautiful!
