[It's the Candle Cavern again, and here's Pyro with a message for you all. But this time, he doesn't look disdainful or angry - in fact, he looks somewhat uneasy, like he's standing on a precipice with toes curled around the edge and only one step away from changing everything.]

I know what you all think of me. I'm used to it.

[The beginning of a challenge? No, his voice softens to match his expression.]

But everyone faces a choice at least once in their lives where there's no other answer but doing the right thing. And yeah, even I can do that.

[And now he stares out earnestly, almost vulnerably.]

Euri... will you marry me?

[More out of character confessions! Is it another curse, or is this one for real? Break out the popcorn, folks. It'll be fun either way.]

[Fucking.

What.]

.....

You're making that up.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Go to a drugstore. Ask for them. They'll be there.

[occulthymns]

No way! You're just trying to humiliate me again! 'Latex' isn't even a word!

[ex_outofcontrol435]

I'll give you a personal demonstration, if you promise not to pull anything stupid afterward.

[Mostly because he's now discovered Kaz, so fucking Euri has officially become both physically gratifying and hilarious as fuck.]

[occulthymns]

Th - that's a little forward, don't you think?

[Not that that's a no, but the first time just kind of happened and it's not like they're dating or she even likes him and fuck this is confusing.]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Only way to get what you want. [Ah, those sweet moments when he gets the upper hand completely.] You could always just ask around, but that doesn't sound half as fun, does it?

[occulthymns]

[Ugh that's a challenge, isn't it? It almost sounds like a challenge.]

Fine, fine! As long as you don't do anything stupid, either.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[Don't laugh in a girl's face when she's just offered you more sex, Py -

- oops, too late.]

Keep in touch, then. And tell your boyfriend I said hi.

[occulthymns]

[Yes that is definitely scoring points here.]

- What?!

[ex_outofcontrol435]

He is your boyfriend, isn't he? He's pretty possessive. I didn't think you'd be the type to put up with that.

[occulthymns]

[Euri groans, running her hands over her face and sounding rather insulted.]

Kaz and I aren't dating, so don't even start.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Seriously? [He snorts.] You have some fucked up friendships, Euri. He promised to snap me in half if he ever "smelled" me on you. Doesn't sound just friendly to me.

[occulthymns]

[Yep, that sounds like Kaz.]

Witch and demon relationships are different than the kind you're used to. That's all.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Still sounds like you pretty much belong to him.

[occulthymns]

So? That's how relationships normally work.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[A long, disbelieving silence.]

You witches are seriously fucked up. And demons aren't much better, from what I've seen.

[occulthymns]

What?? What the fuck, Pyro?? How is that fucked up?

[ex_outofcontrol435]

No one should belong to anyone! That's fucking slavery! Sure, be with someone if you really want to, but they shouldn't have control over you.

[occulthymns]

It isn't slavery. You belong to them and vice versa. You're overreacting!

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Eurgh. And people wonder why I stay single.

[occulthymns]

No, that's because no one would ever want to date an asshole like you.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

You might be surprised.

[Totally empty boast. People weren't really looking for long-term living on the streets, not to mention how much younger he was than the other transient mutants, and all the girls that weren't kids in Xavier's were stuck-up bitches. But she doesn't need to know that.]

[occulthymns]

Yeah, right! I bet I've dated more girls than you.

[Even if her relationships have never lasted more than a month........]
