D --> Are there STRONGER light bulbs somewhere in this e%ecrable place
D --> These terrible orbs of shattering pain are e%temely insufficient
D --> Or perhaps just, assistance with getting these into their sockets might be enough

[His eyes are wide and his head turns fast to watch the yellow tinted spit and blood on the floor. A loud hissed growl leaves his lips as he jerks back to look at Sollux again. He can't help but feel a little proud seeing the other backed against a wall like that, but Equius isn't one to fight someone that isn't 'able'.]

Holding back-?

[His back straightens, adjusting his gloves as he moves forward. It's fast, suddenly he's punching a hole in the wall next to Sollux's head and he holds his face close, upper lip twitching as he glares.]

If anything I'd say you were, peasant.

[Sollux flinches, just enough for it to be visible, but shrugs it off.]

Maybe I am.

[He replies, licking his lips as the other gets closer.]

We are indoorsth. I'd rather not decimate my own rethpiteblock.

[Instead, Sollux grabs a fistful of Equius shirt cloth, pulling it toward him despite how close the two of them are already.]

But you'd dethtroy everything in thith building jutht the thame if it meant winning against me, right?

[His nostrils flare, tensing when he feels his shirt tug. He can smell Sollux's breath and he crunches his nose up, wanting to not have it infesting his nostrils.]

I wouldn't dare lose to you. [But the idea of losing is enough to get his teeth grinding again. He feels sweat trickle down his cheek and his hands clench tight at his sides.]

[He tugs a bit once more, their mouths inches away.]

Tho how about it, Zahhak? Think you can handle thith thort of thing?

[His eyelids flutter, glancing at Sollux's mouth momentarily. He can't help but just stand there and stare at him before suddenly feeling a clench in his stomach. Quickly he tugs away, almost tripping over his feet and nervously brushes at his shirt, as if getting something off him.]

Just.

Get.

Get get out of here, dear mother.

[He closes his eyes, pinching his nose and turns away, trying to stop shaking as he breathes deep.]

[Sollux flushes a deep yellow for the first time, and dusts himself off as well once Equius steps away. Maybe he should leave.]

Yeah, whatever.

Jutht think on it. Theriouthly.

[musclebeast]

[His teeth grind and he subtly glances over at him. The leather of his gloves whine as he clenches his hands tighter, barely noticing the pain in them anymore.]

Leave.

[Action]

[biwinning]

I'm going.

[And really, he is. Cracking his neck to the side, he steps away from the mess of a desk on the floor, and starts to leave the apartment.]

Have fun cleaning.
