rage!ray is ragey.

[rayofmfsunshine.livejournal.com]

[ he sits there, alone. He's not sure what he's supposed to be feeling besides the anger directed at one person. It wasn't right -- couldn't be at all. After all, what sort of man would he be if he let another get so far under his skin -- one that would force him to ruin a friendship that had kept him sane for years. He breathes in slowly, closing his eyes slightly, humming that song again. It was his fault.

But Rayleigh was never a person to take guilt in stride. Ever. ]

...fuck. [ he growled quietly, shaking his head and shuddering in the sudden rage that washed over him. The book folded in his lap was picked up and thrown against the wall. Body aching with anger. A man of his age -- acting like a child.

Fuck.

He was turning into him, wasn't he?! something he never ever wanted to be. next went the tea cup, listening to the porcelain breaking against the wall and falling to the ground in shards.

It was his fault.

All his fault.]

I'mma just scooch right in here, since I have my own TAG. /smarmy

[ He's now learned to ignore both time and place when it comes to these meetings. Whatever caused he and this man to see one another, it went beyond his own personal control. ]

So a guy like you gets flustered too. Good to see... [ There is a tinge of pleasure in that normally entirely cold voice as he suddenly speaks up, revealing his equally sudden presence. ]

(ooc: I don't know the setting or anything, so... I'm winging it completely. Ha.)

XD THIS POST WAS MADE FOR YOU AND KENNETH. <3

[rayofmfsunshine.livejournal.com]

[ instantly, his face smoothes, a pokerface of sorts. He needs to remind himself that this is all a game -- there is nothing on the line. It doesn't calm him.

But he makes sure it seems like he is. ]

Flustered? Such an unkind way of saying what I was feeling. [ a small cold smile rushes over his features and he moves to sit back down, offering the other a seat. ] Would you like some tea? [ his smile widens, he gets up and moves forwards to a small cart of alcohol and ice. He sets to pouring a glass of whiskey, no ice. His hand shakes slightly as he bows his head, only briefly letting the true feelings take hold over his face for a moment. Then it's gone. The pure rage is gone and all that's left is the cold pokerface that he kept. ] Help yourself, if you'd like. I'll assure you now, it's not poisoned. I just figured I should try something a little more strong.

[ he downs half the glass in one gulp, before he pours more. Moving back to his large red chair, sitting down and relaxing into it. ] Take a seat, Mr. Jailer. I'll assure you that since the games are over for now, I won't feel the need to taunt you all that much.

[ he's lying, but he knows he always lies. ]

|ooc| Ahahaha~ Well, just assume... this is an alternate universe where the games took place? :|a |

Scoochie scoochie. <3

[lastofthelegacy.livejournal.com]

[ He takes a moment to just watch, something he would almost say he enjoys and would definitely say that he excels at. To say he's perceptive, and especially with the eyes that he has, is an extreme understatement. ]

Don't call me that... I take it that you had no part in bringing me here. I can't imagine that you would want to see me anymore than I want to see you. [ He predictably ignores the offer of tea, despite it being his favorite beverage. Sasuke does, however, sit, albeit not without a great pause before moving. ]

I know already to assume that that's a lie.

/scoops up and cuddles

[rayofmfsunshine.livejournal.com]

[ he raises a brow at the other, then shook his head, relaxing back into his chair. ]

Are you so sure I didn't? [ He guesses that doing this so openly would be a problem. He assumed that the boy wouldn't come without a prompt. But this... this is a game, he reminds himself. ]

Oh, I assumed that you'd catch that, so I guess telling you that I'm playing my own style of jailer would be only a bit too forwards. Take some tea, Sasuke, you'll be here a while. [ He sips at his drink once more, tilting his head at him slightly, studying him almost cooly. ]

I know how it is to burn bridges, Sasuke. [ he sighs and relaxes more, out of forcing himself to. ] I'd hate to see you make the same mistakes I did.

Yes, yes, I know, 'stop reading you'. It's impossible not too. I see so much of myself in you that it's almost stiffling.

I pushed my best friend away, you know. I told him that he was worthless almost every day -- but he kept running back and protecting me when I needed it. He had my back even though I told him that I'd kill him every day of my time with him. There was more to us than anyone would ever know, I'd go into it in detail -- but surprisingly I'm being cautious, you're still young. Then he met Ace's mother -- suddenly, I was pushed on the backburner. I was jealous and I hated him for making me feel like that. I told myself that I wasn't a crutch and that I wasn't -- feeling like that for him, but I was and every day since he's died.

I hate myself for treating him like that. I hate him for making me feel like that. I don't do guilt, you know, but he's always managed to make me feel it.

Don't burn those bridges, Sasuke. You'll never know when they'll be needed.

And if you'd like to mock me, go right ahead. I guarente you, I've heard worse.

I'm 5'9", so good luck. Sasuke, however, is a petite 5'5"~

[lastofthelegacy.livejournal.com]

... Are you done? [ His voice is cold but then again when is it not? His eyes, being his chief tension center and all, betray his emotion through narrowing and through barely turned down brows. ]

You brought me here of your own volition, then... to listen to the words of an old hypocrite. [ He leans forward to rest his elbows against his knees, posture lazy but there was a definite tension in the air all the same. ] How many times... do you think I've had to listen to this? Stop interjecting yourself into my life, into my affairs. They have nothing to do with you and whatever kinship you feel with me is error on your part.

I'm accustomed to being alone. And my feelings for the one that you would call my former friend are vastly different from those you express for this other man. Don't lecture me as someone who's admitted to having no purpose of his own.

(Sasuke's being a butt again. Ray can take it, though! And weird question, but could you possibly link me to a full-body picture of Ray? :D Preferably in what he's wearing now?)

i-i'm 5'1" /sobs

[rayofmfsunshine.livejournal.com]

Are you really willing to be alone for the rest of your life? Are you really all right with the fact that you'll end up with no purpose yourself if you keep burning these bridges?

[ he gives the other a small smile. ] Sasuke, do you believe that your formal friend will stop trying to do whatever he can to bring you back into the fold? Are you so sure that he'll stop caring when you do whatever you are planning to them -- that he'll believe that you really and truly hate him?

My purpose is long since gone, that's so true it's almost hilarious. But you... Sasuke, you're still young enough to be able to change, to feel something other than hatred. I'd hate more than anything to watch someone with such potential to squander it on what you're referring to as your purpose.

I'd hate for someone like you -- who despite being so cold and angry at the world, has a glimmer of the things that make a man a man, to lose all of that and become a petty hate machine bent on destroying everything that's all good. I'd hate for you to turn into me, which is exactly the road you're on.

[ he sighed and downed his glass, grabbing the extra tea cup and poured some tea for him. ] Sugar, milk, lemon, Sasuke?

|OOC| not a problem! here >:) This! :3 (http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/331/1/6/silvers_rayleigh_by_dgenezini-d33qss5.png)|

You promised cuddles, though! Hold me! (Incidentally, how tall is Ray?)

[lastofthelegacy.livejournal.com]

What a speech... You're pissing me off. [ He again ignores the rather polite offer, not enjoying the humorous juxtaposition in Ray's mannerisms in the slightest. ]

If you have regret then do something about it yourself. Don't try to apply your damn life principles where they don't belong... I had people that I care about. They're dead. And now I'm going to kill those responsible... Every last one of them. If he wants to stand in my way, I'll slaughter him as well.

I'm not bent on destroying what's good. I'm destroying a rotting corpse of a village that's forgotten what the word means.

(Oh, look how snazzy he is. I'm impressed~ I get the impression that you know what Sasuke looks like just fine, yes? XD)

[hislastcreation.livejournal.com]

[There is a very small fellow watching you from nearby. He's worried about the level of anger your showing.]

[rayofmfsunshine.livejournal.com]

[ he calms almost instantly, eyes rapidly looking around, seeing no one then he realizes who it is. ]

Come closer, 9. I'll pour you some tea.

[hislastcreation.livejournal.com]

I appreciate it, Ray, but... well, you know I can't drink.

[He approaches slowly, caution in his steps. He knows you have negative feelings right now and he wants to get to the bottom of it to help you.]

What's wrong? You were angry.

[rayofmfsunshine.livejournal.com]

Oh? That's too bad.

[ his brow raises, then he shrugs. ]

Don't worry about it, 9. Just come, sit. Talk to me about how you've been since the last game you joined us for?

[hislastcreation.livejournal.com]

[9 wanders over to him and sits down nearby. He continues to look up at Ray.]

I've been all right. I'm still trying to figure things out... where I can go from here.

[rayofmfsunshine.livejournal.com]

Become a pirate. [ obviously he was going to say that. ]

[if-its-a-boy.livejournal.com]

........ [Well this is awkward. After he flipped his shit at her, should she really be coming here?

....too late to back out now, anyway.]

[rayofmfsunshine.livejournal.com]

[ he's going to jerk and look up. He's gonna stare for a few moments then his hands are going to go down and he's just going to stare at her like a lost puppy... ]

[if-its-a-boy.livejournal.com]

[She stays still for a moment or two before sitting down next to him.]

.....what would make you happy again?

[rayofmfsunshine.livejournal.com]

[ He's just going to stare... spread his hands pathetically and glance down. ]

Nothing, Rouge.

[if-its-a-boy.livejournal.com]

[This pains her a bit. Such a good friend of Roger's was so down.]

What about Luffy-kun?

[rayofmfsunshine.livejournal.com]

Luffy-kun knows nothing of what I feel, I am invested in him, I am proud of him. But he does not make me happy.

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

You should really watch your blood pressure old man. {A sly, voice spoke up from seemingly out of no where. Ace had learned a few ninja tricks in his time sailing the ocean. He was perched in his open window, back to the frame, stretched out across the sill, one arm draped over his knee as he studied Rogers old companion.

Did he honestly care? No. That much was obvious in the inflection of his voice. The comment was just him being a smartass brat.}

[rayofmfsunshine.livejournal.com]

[ He doesn't look up from where he's looking. He's simply going to slowly move to sit back down, crossing his legs and shooting the tea a furious look.

He might as well not hide it from Portgas. The man would find some way to use it against him either way. ]

I'm fit enough, you should know. Unlike you -- Portgas. [ wow. call him fat why dontcha ray? :|a He's going to look up finally and then chuckle softly.... stares at him for a few goddamned minutes. Then SMIRKS. ] Oh my, I apologize. I was just realizing how much like Roger you look like.

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

{He snorted, not listening to the little jab about his fitness. He knows better. Though... what the hell WAS he talking about anyway? He was as fit as he could ever be (you know, aside from the whole dead thing but he was alive now! So...yeah that didn't count!) But he does stop to think back to all that food he put away just a moment ago. It was a good thing he fell asleep in it but should he have eaten that 10th plate before hand?

Of course Silvers remark cuts through him and silences everything with deadly accuracy. He shoots the man a glare so strong he was lucky his gaze didn't have the power to strike him dead where he sat. Any lesser man would turn to jello from the mere chill of it or cower back in fear. With a flick of his wrist and point of two fingers a bullet of fire whizzed past Silvers in the blink of an eye. A warning shot... One that left the outer edge of one lens singed, melting the glass a left it still glowing orange for a moment. No doubt he could feel it barely miss his cheek, causing the fine hairs on his face to melt and curl from the sheer heat. He probably singed a few of his blond hairs near his ear too as it continued it's path to burn a hole in the wall behind him.}

Take that back. {He spat despite himself. He was never any good about keeping himself composed when someone mentioned that name or even compared him to the former King. There was no room left for options in that demand.}

[rayofmfsunshine.livejournal.com]

[ The elder male rubbed his beard and hair, letting the burnt hair fall and crumble, he gave a mock sigh and moved in closer. Haki radiating off of him as he almost moved in with the air of a king, slowly, the man's head bowed and lips moved to the others ear, he chuckled so darkly. ]

Make me, Portgas. [ the dark laugh rolled out of him, breath fanning against his ear as he forced the younger against a wall, calloused fingers roaming over the other's throat almost in a mock-up of a loving caress. His body covered over Ace's and his dark chuckle grew and he lightly stroked his neck even more. ] I wonder if you're a screamer.

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

{He held his ground, unshaken and tense, hand still poised to fire another shot at the man even if he knew it would do no good. His whispered words had his blood boiling and as much as he wanted to do just that he soon found himself in deeper shit than he bargained for.

His eyes widened with a brief flash of fear as he was pulled into the others room and off his window perch to be pinned against the wall. He struggled, squirming and trying to break free. He could feel his Haki, reaching out, crawling over every inch of his skin and pushing back his fruit powers like parting the ocean. He shuddered under him despite himself, feeling his warmth stolen from him. He felt incredibly vulnerable, nude, but he still forced his fires to raise through it all, enveloping him the best he could. Not that it would do him much good and he knew that, it was a show, defiant till the end.

Silvers mocking caresses over his throat had him tense, frozen, and his lips were sealed shut. He wasn't a screamer, he wouldn't give him the satisfaction, whatever should happen between them. He knew he was trapped but he still glared at the other man, daring him to do his worst. His Adam's apple bobbed raggedly under those calloused fingers as he tried to think of something, anything that could work against this powerful man.

He knew he was outclassed but like hell he'd just stand here and take it! He had to think of something fast!}

[rayofmfsunshine.livejournal.com]

[ the elder just laughed once more, the stroking fingers moved around to the back of the other's neck and his own head ducked down to lightly bite at his throat. He could feel the spice of fire just lingering on his tongue -- he can't help himself now. He bites harder, sucking and then pulling back only when he's sure that a bruise was raised to the top of the skin. He released him then, stepping back and stares at the other. ]

You're a nice sight, Portgas. [ he purrs quietly, eyes flickering with a deviousness that was unseen for years. ] I bet you're the type to enjoy being dominated. [ he dips back in, forcing Ace's head up as he forced himself down, kissing him harder than before. He could feel the familiar warmth flowing through him-- he hadn't felt this for years. He needed more.

....He could take his time though. That much he knew. His shoulders rolled and he stepped back once more, eyes flashing as he kept the haki up, knowing that he had beaten the other so thoroughly that it didn't even matter if he ran away or not. ]

Going to flee now, Ace?
