I'm listening, but all I'm hearing is blah blah blah I'm a dumbass.

Where at?

[Heh... Stupid sumbitch is still the same as ever.]

Behind the church. [Last place they'd look.] Make it fast.

[ Seriously, shitface? ]

On my way.

[ He rushes, because as petulant as he enjoys being, it's Ghoul. ]

[Damn right it is. It's Ghoul. He's still him, he's figuring that out despite all the pain and the insanity and the urge to fuck everything up. The anger's always been there, though.

He's waiting. Patiently. Anna's safe and he just wants to see Kobra. Reach out. Maybe get some h--]

Fuck that. [Doesn't need it. Doesn't need help. Just wants to see him.]

Ghoul!

[ He runs up and pounces like only a skinny little fucker can before whispering in Ghoul's ear. ]

Can I have some blood? I promise you won't mind.

[The fuck-- Ghoul almost throws him to the ground before that little voice from before comes back screaming KOBRA KID and sets him at ease. He even smirks.]

Welcome to try, but I don't think you're gonna like the taste of my venom. [Jesse had smelled something off. Galen did, too. They knew.] So you some kinda blood-sucker, now? What're you, a leech? They live in the water, you know. I could throw y'back if you wanted.

I'm a vampire. You jealous, fucker?

[ He grins for a hot second and then his face gets more serious. He came here for a reason. ]

So what's... what's up, man? You okay? What're you doing avoiding Jet for?

[ Come on. KK only avoids Jet when he's doing something he knows is stupid as all hell. ]

Shit. Yeah, kinda am. Lemme see those teeth, Kobra Lugosi, lemme see 'em!

[He paws at Kobra's face, genuinely smiling. Actually happy. It's freaking him the fuck out. Yes, he's jealous. Anything would have been better than this. But the smile vanishes at the mention of Jet and he turns away, shrugging, staring at the ground.]

M'not. Not avoiding him. [Liar.] It's all good, KK, just drop it. I'm fine.

[ Kobra's laughing and showing off his teeth and then all of a sudden, Ghoul's being a total buzzkill. ]

Liar liar hair on fire.

[ He grabs for Ghoul. ]

What's up with you, you shit?

Nothin's up! I said drop it, Kid.

[Just gonna give him a little shove... with that super human demon strength.]

[ Just gonna absorb that force with his vampiric awesomeness. ]

The fuck. Ghoul, just fuckin' tell me!

[Just fucking tell him. He wants to know so bad? Maybe he'll do something about it. Maybe he'll try to punish him and tell him it's not okay and then maybe he'll try to teach him a lesson and maybe that will make it okay to rip Kobra's fucking head off and send it to Jet-- NO!]

... I killed Jesse. Fuckin' stabbed him in the back and dumped him back in bed. Wanted to hurt you, too, still do. I can't-- I don't know what this is. I don't want to be this anymore, I don't know if it's gonna go away.

Fuck, Kobra, just end it. You're strong as shit, you can end it for me. Rip me apart. Go on!

[ Kobra's face twists into a snarl and faster than a human could ever move, he grips Ghoul's jacket tight and slams his back into the hard stone wall of the church. ]

Fuck you. You don't get to fuckin' check out on me. Party's gone. Lydia's hiding. You get your shit together and you man the fuck up!

[ His face loses some of its tension, but he doesn't relax his grip. ]

We got a body to hide?

[Not expecting that. Caught him off guard. He tries to push back, tries to weasel out of Kobra's grip, but he can't. He's gotta look him in the eye. Gotta hear him out.

... And that fucker is right. So many missing, they're all they got. All they should have. Getting attached outside the crew never fucking ends well.]

No. No, it's gone. Didn't do much t'fuckin' hide it in the first place, dumped it in Galen's fuckin' bed. Heh. [Man enough for you, Kobra Kid?]

That's kinda fucked up, man. He's your twin brother.

[ He shoves Ghoul's back into the stone hard one more time before he lets go, taking a step back. ]

Shit, man. What is wrong with you?

Fuck you, Kid! I ain't got no brother. He's just a corpse that had my face. S'all he ever was. [Why does that hurt to say? Because it's bullshit. Because he wouldn't fucking say that. This is driving him crazy. All he wants to do when Kobra shoves him again is see which ways to kill a vampire are true.

Instead, he just tilts his head at an angle, adjusts his vest with a flourish, and steps forward where Kobra stepped back.]

Isn't it obvious? Jet's all feathers and sunshine and choirs singin' on a cloud. I'm the other one. The opposite. Pitchforks and hellfire, Kid, praise no one.

Shit, Ghoul.

[ He scrubs over his face. ]

Shit, you gotta fight whatever urges you got, because there's a good guy in there, okay? Look at me. Whatever you do, we can fix it long as you don't hurt anyone who matters.

[A good guy. Where? Ghoul's not completely sold that there's anything good about him without demonic influence. He's not a good guy. He's the bad guy.

But Kobra's got faith in him. Kobra doesn't know any better. Kobra matters. Ghoul sniffs, reaching out to clasp a hand on Kobra's shoulder. And then he moves in for a hug. Just wanna hold him a while. Just stay close.]

Yeah. Yeah, we'll fix it.

[ Kobra holds him in a tight, bony, point-angled hug. He'll always have hugs for Ghoul. Kobra was born with one brother, but he has three and Ghoul's fucking one of them.

He kisses Ghoul's hair and hugs him even tighter, because he's man enough to be able to say that he loves Ghoul a whole fucking lot. ]

You an' me? We can fix anything, you fuckin' butt.
