A Head in Heart-Shaped Clouds [active/open]

[mysterious-moi.livejournal.com]

Character(s): Vyers, anyone!
Content: Following the Date From Hell, there's something a little... off about Vyers.
Setting: All around Paixao -- Party style!
Time: All around, week 30
Warnings: All women should expect flirtation.

Never before had Vyers realized just how many beautiful, wonderful women there were in this city. The grace with which they moved, their voices, flowing like a gentle stream... Ah, but the very thought of them made his heart race! And yet, alongside these feelings of elation, Vyers was troubled.

The woman he had longed to see again was once more by his side, was she not? That should be all that he desired. So then, why was his mind wandering to so many others? Of course, the moment he would think of Gwen, his love for her would surge more than it ever had before, but even then...

How strange love was, to be so fickle and yet so strong! As Vyers went about his day, his mind wandered, from woman, to wife, to the entire situation.

Vyers' smile faltered a little bit, but he wasn't deterred, straightening himself up and pulling himself together. Was that a little too forward? It didn't seem like it was, but my did the young lady seem out of sorts. After a half second more of thought, Vyers suddenly looked surprised at himself. "Forgive my poor manners! Your beauty captivated me so, I seem to have forgotten to introduce myself. I am Vyers, the Dark Adonis. Might I have your name?"

The Dark Adonis? Hmm, that rung a few bells, she was pretty sure she heard something that ridiculous once. "Priere... you can call me Priere," she said, trying to ignore the man's obvious attempts at flirting. No, she didn't need to send someone flying right now, she had to stop getting into fights all the time around here. Just ignore him, like she did with all the rest. "Err, I was just heading down to get some lunch, so..." The 'leave me alone' left hanging.

Unfortunately, Priere would have no such luck in getting rid of Vyers. The demon had fallen hard and fast, though he had yet to acknowledge it if he had even realized it. “Then allow me to accompany you,” he said quickly, and for a second he wondered if he had been a little too quick before reassuring himself that yes, he had indeed asked the question flawlessly.

Priere tried to be nice, really she did... but at this point. "Can't you take a hint?!" she said, quickly turning her head to stare at him dead in the eyes. Crossing her arms in front of her, she continued: "Look, I don't know why you keep coming on to me, but I'm not interested. Besides, I already have someone, so I'm not gonn---"

She suddenly froze in her tracks... oops, that last bit WASN'T supposed to come out. "Errrr... n-never... nevermind!"

If one were to listen closely, they might be able to hear a sound similar to that of shattering glass--a heart breaking into pieces. Vyers' entire body language changed with the cut-off statement, the implications of it understood completely. How cruel the world could be! Unrequited love... The pain like a great weight on his shoulders, a sharp pain in his heart! O how the shards of broken love must be impaling him inside...

What a shame it was that there was no corner for him to stay in anywhere nearby.

"N, No... It is fine," he said, strained.

Aw crap, that really shouldn't have came out. Now Priere was pretty sure she'd have to hear all about it. Better start backpedaling now!

... or not. She wasn't sure what was up with Casanova there, but he didn't look so good. Matter of fact, he looked more like he was about to go crawl into a hole and die. Call it irrationality but... that pissed her off. Sure, she was and never will be interested in him, but did he have to just give up the fight to act like a spoiled baby? "What are you, a man or a wimp?" she asked dryly, not caring that she was probably stepping on his metaphorical shattered glass heart.

[mysterious-moi.livejournal.com]

Oh, his shattered heart was being stepped on all right, but he still had his pride! "I stated that I was fine, did I not?" he insisted, drawing himself up a little straighter. He crossed his arms in a huff. "Then I am absolutely fine."

Vyers' voice shook a little at the end, but even so, in his opinion he had pulled himself together quite admirably.

[divine_storm]

"I think I've heard little kids lie better than you," Priere answered disappointed. "Especially for a demon."

At this point, pretty much everything about the so called "Dark Adonis" was just pathetic. She simply shook her head, unimpressed at the man.

Vyers was far from happy that his lie was pointed out so easily, but did his best to appear unaffected by the woman's comments. He had said he was fine, and by this point it was a matter of principle that he would be. Vyers tsked and gave Priere a sidelong glance. "You should not be so quick to judge by first impressions."
