—“. . . o- oh.”
he remembers during a a very short job being cashier for vine-staff.
and he definitely remembers the very cute inphernal he saw.
slingshot was basically blasted away at how you stood out from other inphernals to him. your face was cute, your eyes, the way the shape of your horns perfectly shaped your face, the few markings on your face that made you very pretty, yeah, slingshot was swooned.
his hands were trembling when he handed you your drink- and when he heard you say thank you in that voice. . .his heart fucking stopped.
you were just perfect.
as slingshot rambled to skateboard about his newfound feelings for this absolute stranger, he noticed how skateboard tensed up when slingshot started talking about your horns.
slingshot looked puzzled due to the sudden tension,
“skate? what’s wrong?”
skateboard looked a bit amazed, “dude. . .don’t tell me they have (insert color) colored horns, do they?”
“. . .yeah?” now slingshot was a bit scared- were you a criminal? some dangerous person? a walking zombie?
“that’s coil’s sibling.”
okay, now that wasn’t what he was expecting
as realization doomed upon him. . .wait- he actually had a crush. . . on THE coil’s sibling!?
he felt as if his whole world fell apart, until. . .
“-but you two would look cute together, i mean.”
what?
slingshot felt even more stunned, “what the fuck did you just say?”
“look man,” skate held his hands up, “if you’re really that obsessed with them. . .maybe I’ll just be your wingman.” he said with a stupid wink.
what is happening?
something slingshot definitely didnt expect (again), was to be standing in front of coil; the notorious boxer and newly found phighter. . .and criminal in black-rock.
he definitely noticed the way coil was basically glaring at him.
“I-“
“save it.” coil interrupted.
slingshot noticed how his glare increased in intensity, “-look, I know this might be weird. . .but I-“
“-if you do any weird shit around them,” coil jabbed a finger towards slingshots chest with excessive force, “you’ll be dead meat found in a dumpster, y’ hear?”
okay, slingshot really heard the ferocity in his voice.
“. . .okay.”
slingshot was in his cafe, breathing crazy and sweat gathering up in tight places.
skate sitting in front of him in the seat ahead.
“dude, just chill-“
“what happens if they think I’m weird!?” he shrieked, a small voice crack at the end.
skate just looked down upon him, “c’mon man- don’t be so uptight about this- if they don’t like you- it’s fine! then maybe-“
the door swung open.
two inphernals walked in.
coil and you.
his heart stopped-
you’re gorgeous.
as you sat across from him; he stuttered over his words-
“I-“ get it together sling!
