"Hey, hey. Shhh." Zeke's grin was confident. It always was. But something about it clashed with his usual evil cockiness. They were both monsters, so maybe they could just be more honest to each other.
As if.
"I already feel great... do you? Come on Val, why don't you tell me what's really hiding in there?" His fist gently clashed against her chest, and for a moment it was like their hearts connected.

"So what is it? An ancient skewed legend of lies, or a royalty that's impossible to reach? Don't make me laugh. We're still people with our own dreams." And for a moment, his twin dark eyes turned into black and gold.
