Entrare a far parte del club di teatro, all’inizio, non era sembrata una gran idea. 

L’idea di passare tutte quelle ore passate su un palco, tentando di memorizzare scene e movimenti e dialoghi che serviranno sì e no una volta sola nella sua vita (lo spettacolo di fine anno, tanto famoso quanto atteso nell’istituto), era suonata più come una condanna a vita che una punizione per aver infranto il regolamento e danneggiate delle proprietà scolastiche. Onestamente, avrebbe preferito cercarsi un lavoro ed andare a ripagare i danni che aveva causato piuttosto che quello, ma i suoi genitori avevano interceduto per lui con il preside ed il corpo docenti per trovare una soluzione più... tenue.

Aveva solo problemi di rabbia, dicevano. Tentare di immedesimarsi in altri avrebbe favorito la sua empatia e, con tutta fortuna, anche la sua pazienza. 

Cazzate. Quello di cui aveva bisogno non erano lezioncine di teatro, empatia o altri trucchetti da strizzacervelli per darsi una calmata. Gli serviva solo che le persone si facessero i fatti loro, non gli facessero domande da deficienti ed abbandonassero la voglia di socializzare con lui. Di amici a scuola non ne aveva, ma nemmeno ne voleva. Stava benissimo da solo.

*

SMACK.

«CHE CAZZO DI PROBLEMA HAI?!» Aveva sbottato, istintivamente, dopo aver ricevuto quel colpo sulla testa. Voltandosi verso il colpevole, non si stupì affatto di trovarsi di fronte quel pomposo stronzo del primo attore--la stella del club, il talento della recitazione e tutti quei titoli che servivano solo ad ingigantire il suo già troppo sviluppato ego a non finire--con il copione arrotolato ancora stretto tra le mani.

Stefano. 

Non c’era dubbio che Francis lo odiasse profondamente, soprattutto dopo che questi l’aveva praticamente obbligato a “prendere ripetizioni” di teatro da lui, incastrandolo con qualche semplice parolina davanti al professore. Di tutti gli studenti facenti parte del club, Stefano era quello più ossessionato dallo stesso, tanto da trascorrere ore ed ore a provare a scuola e (sospettava lui) continuare poi il lavoro persino a casa.

A che pro, poi? Essere ammirato ed acclamato alla fine di qualche spettacolino di cui nessuno avrebbe ricordato l’esistenza? Assurdo.

«Vorrei rigirarti la domanda, ma termini così volgari non sono adatti alla mia persona.»

«Ma parla come mangi!» 

Quando l’altro sospirò e scosse il capo mestamente, portandosi una mano alla fronte con disappunto, Francis si trovò a roteare gli occhi. Dramatic bitch era un termine che, nella sua mente, bastava solamente come inizio per descrivere il compagno di club.

«Siccome temo tristemente che il tuo quoziente intellettivo non raggiunga sempre il minimo sindacale per comprendere quantomeno il linguaggio umano, suppongo di poterti mostrar riguardo nello spiegarti indubbiamente “che problema io abbia”.» 

Francis sentiva il mal di testa salirgli. Altro che controllo, in quel club la rabbia gli sarebbe passata per esaurimento!

«Non ci stai nemmeno provando, ad imparare la tua parte. In primis, il tono di voce che hai usato nella tua ultima battuta è completamente sbagliato. Dovresti esprimere confusione, non apatia. Il mio personaggio, come ben ti ho spiegato già tre volte, ha appena rivelato al tuo un passato che aveva dimenticato e così facendo nella tua mente dovrebbe esserci un turbinio di ricordi tanto forte da farti girare la testa. Dovresti mostrarti confuso quantomeno, sofferente poichè catturato in un vortice di emozioni e memorie, i primi anche contrastanti tra loro! Ed invece hai un’espressione ed una voce piatta, sospetto quanto il tuo encefalogramma.» 

Okay, quell’ultima parte sembrava un insulto.

(perchè lo era)

La già scarsa pazienza del ragazzo andò a farsi benedire a quel punto.

«Senti un po’, faccia da cazzo. Se sei così intelligente avrai ben capito che mi frega meno di niente di questo club di merda, idem con la recitazione. Sono qui solo perchè devo, non perchè voglio, quindi non farmi la tua stracazzo di paternale perchè vuoi che tutto sia perfetto.»

«Hmph. Anche se hai così poco rispetto per te stesso, non significa che tu debba mostrarne ancor meno verso altrui persona e proprietà. Non è forse per questo che ti sei trovato qui?» 

«Hah, e tu che problema hai invece? Perchè devi averne qualcuno per essere così fissato. Cos’è, recitando riesci a scappare da qualcosa che ti fa schifo della tua perfetta vita da signorino di buona famiglia?» 

Stefano non rispose, per una volta, e Francis si stupì di essere riuscito a far ammutolire il ragazzo. Soddisfatto ed un po’ gongolante, gli lanciò un’espressione compiaciuta. Eppure, nonostante quel silenzio suonasse come una conferma, qualcosa gli bloccò parzialmente la soddisfazione che gli stava esplodendo nel petto.

«La mia vita non è qualcosa che ti debba importare.» Il tono che usò per quella risposta, secca e gelida, lo fece quasi sobbalzare. Da che s’era unito al club di teatro, era probabilmente la prima volta che Francis udiva una sfumatura simile nella voce dell’altro. «Riprendiamo. Da capo, atto primo. Non ce ne andremo finchè non ci metterai un minimo di impegno.» 

Un verso strangolato emerse dalla gola di Francis a quell'ordine. 

Decisamente, lo odiava con tutto se stesso.

Note: Mild violence nella seconda parte, I think?



 


The first time he found out about the experiments, he wasn't really concerned in the least. He knew his colleagues had been searching a way to isolate the genetic code that brought up the mutations in the mankind and destroy it, but he didn't really think much about it.

Not up until now.

Now that he married one of the "mutated" humans without knowing.

Dunya was the sweetest woman he ever came across. Kind, amiable and most of all so passionate about the smallest of things. Also, the fact that she was the one pursuing him first, like a fiery huntress with her prey, had also been part of her charm.

The long and the short of it, he fell in love, married her and, well. They were a family of three, now.

It was the happiest he's ever been, as cheesy as that sounds, with an adorable wife and a lively little girl as his first born: Irina had definitely taken after her mother in looks and Vladimir could already see that she was bound to grow up as a very gorgeous woman, even as a baby.

(he might also be very partial, but still)

"We're lucky, right? Our little Iri is very cute, isn't she?" Dunya's voice sounded softer than usual as she spoke to him, holding the little girl in her arms. Said little girl raised one hand to grab the long strands of hair dangling before her--he probably should consider getting a cut soon, but the smile on his daughter's face more often than not stopped him from just doing that. 

Vladimir sighed quietly, hugging his family with a contedness he never knew before. Life was good. 

*

His day at work was almost over when he received that goddamn call. Dunya's voice was far from the usual softness: hiccups, heavy breaths, too many pauses between a word and the other. He could tell she was panicking.

Of course, Vladimir literally rushed home to see himself what happened--he got that someone attacked his family, but if Dunya was able to call him then maybe the situation wasn't as bad. Maybe the men he put on protection duty had already done their job. 

He almost broke the door when he basically threw himself inside his house and froze at the show before his eyes. Three men on the left side of the corridor, two on the right. Far cries of a baby shook him into action. 

Where was his family? 

Were they alright? 

(God please let them be, please please please--) 

He ran. Passing rooms and stairs littered with broken furniture and glasses, from where the photo holders fell. Bullet holes looked like constellations on the walls. But the cries continued and he hoped and pleaded so much, until he got to the room the cries came from. 

He opened the door and froze.

His eyes fell on the nine--no, ten lifeless bodies on the floor. In front of them, holding their child tightly in her arms, Dunya sat. She was on the little armchair near the window, whispering reassurances to her daughter while cuddling her. 

"What-" He almost choked on his words when he felt a surge of pure terror, like an invisible hand grasping his heart and squeezing slowly, until it couldn't beat anymore-

A loud gasp left Dunya's mouth and at the same time that terrible sensation left. As if it was never there. She moved slowly, tentatively, towards him and he had to control the urge to step back. His instincts and his desires stood one against each other for the first time in ages. 

"Dear, I'm… I'm so--so sorry, I didn't even… realize i-it was you… and I almost…" 

His arms closed around her waist and shoulder after hearing her voice. Broken by sobs, shaky, but also with a lot of relief.

"Dunya, did you… do all of this?" He was answered with silence. "Love… It's fine, I know it will be."

The man's voice sounded more strained that he meant it to and he knew. He couldn't reassure his wife for real. 

She was a mutant. She could kill with her ability, that much was clear if the dead bodies with no bullet wounds--the tell tale sign of the organization's hitmen doing their job.

He realized then.

The organization will kill her if they find out.

And his daughter. Could it be that she was one too? If she grew up and developed an ability, then--

"Vladimir… Please… At least her… I don't care for myself, but Iri… I beg you, keep her safe from them…"

Selfless, loveable Dunya. He had no doubt she meant what she just said. His mind locked down for a moment, thinking about the possibilities of saving both his wife and his daughter. 

He looked at the bodies. 

The only witnesses were the two (three) of them. 

He could work something out. To protect his family, even if it meant betraying the Brotherhood.

"We'll be fine. You'll be fine."

I've got this.

Note: Sins' Incarnation!AU


 

Mornings were never the best time of the day, if you asked him. Usually, he slept like a damned log until the first hours of the afternoons and anyone who’d try to wake him up before that, well, they’d find themselves with a very angry, very little sociable and most of all very deadly man growling right in their face.

Not much of a good start (and that's only if you got lucky).

«Rouge brought home another guy last night.» Vincent said over lunch--or brunch, if you considered Kastor’s routine. The older brother hummed in response. «Seriously, she shows no shame sometimes… I believe it’s been what, a day since she broke up with her last boyfriend?»

«What about you fuck off with your false sense of morality, Cherry Boy? It’s too early for this.»

A growl echoed in the room. «Watch your language, brother. There’s nothing bad in wanting your own sister to behave better.»

«Behave better? Hah! As if that will help with anything.» Kastor snarled, canines bare in a hateful growl. «You know pretty well that that won’t save us, little brother. We’ve fallen. No matter how much you don’t want to see that, but we’re Sins incarnated and we’re bound to live up to them.»

That was not a conversation he was going to have--again--after waking up, so he cut it short. 

Or tried to.

«You say that because you don’t give a flying damn about anyone else! What about Rea? Fer? Nora? Don’t you care about what it will mean to them?!»

«Vincent, for once in your lifetime, get your head out of your prideful ass and listen to me.» The man (if he could still be called that) all but growled, his grip on his mug of coffee causing it to crack. He was losing his patience. «There’s no fucking salvation waiting behind the corner. I know, you know, everyone knows. It told us when this shit started ages ago. You should abandon yourself to your Sin and stop trying to be the saint of the situation because you’re just as corrupted as we all are.»

A hand went to Kastor’s throat just as he finished that sentence. His golden eyes shot up to meet the icy blue ones of his brothers--both of their stares cold, serious, almost promising of dark desires.

The older brother laughed. «You pride yourself to be better than the others, but here you go succumbing to my sin’s pull. Pathetic.»

Vincent let go after a few seconds, sense coming back to him as a wave of consciousness. «… I will not stop. I know I can just find a way to free us from this curse. I know.»

«As you wish, Cherry Boy.»

Mornings were indeed the worst part of the day, especially when his brother decided to be blinded by his desire and ignore everything else. Even logic and reality. Kastor admittedly accepted his fate of Wrath’s incarnation long ago (and acted upon it since the beginning, committing acts anyone else would be simply horrified about), so he didn’t understand how Vincent failed to notice that his supposed resistance to it was just futile.

His pride blinded him too much for his own good.

Still, Kastor shrugged to himself. They were all damned: when God chose them as incarnations, their fate was decided apparently. Traitors just like Judas. Menaces just like the first Sin that corrupted humanity, according to the legends.

Part of him expected another fight to break off sooner or later, to be honest. Like one of those told since the ancient times, the Greatest Good and the Upcoming Bad that would decide the fate of the mankind.

Oooh, the possibility of going up against the new wave of valiant warriors, defenders of the holy Virtues, just made his Sin ache with longing.

If a war was to be expected, then he’ll bring forth all the destruction he could think of.
