[ david's gotten pretty good at respecting evan's space, his things. even avoids stealing from him unless he's certain this is the only place he can get something. doesn't disarm more traps than he absolutely has to to get around, and never breaks them. there's something tenuous there, a kind of mutual decency that he'd like to maintain if he can. ]
[ which is all what david would've thought before that last trial. before trapper threw him up on a hook with a terse reminder that david owes him, as if he'd fucking forgotten. maybe it was a rough one for him, or maybe david was just especially annoying that time, he doesn't know, but he does know that something about it pissed him off enough that he wasn't even afraid to die while he hung on that hook. all he'd been able to think about at the time was wishing he could just pull himself off and smash the bastard's head in with a rock. how fucking dare he. ]
[ and david tries not to carry that shit with him once a trial's over, sometimes even successfully, but this time? this time he storms over there the second he's back at the campfire. this time he makes a point to break the traps he has to disarm to get down the mine. if there was a way to wreck them so bad it would be impossible to repair or reforge them, david would with no hesitation. ]
You in here? [ david calls when he makes it to the workshop, assuming sooner or later he'll be seeing an angry trapper ready to take his head for the disrespect, but david doesn't care about that. ]
[ so things between them as of late would probably be best described as turbulent, even for them. david doesn't really know what to think when it comes to evan anymore, but he knows he's doing a lot more thinking about him than he'd like. it's not even all sex and violence, which is baffling to him. that should be all there is to this, and yet. ]
[ is it a subconscious desire to be closer to him somehow that makes david reach out, or just the fact that he suddenly remembered this motherfucker has a bed and he doesn't even sleep? jury's out on that one. ]
[ when yui steps foot into the fog surrounding the outskirts of what is deemed safe for her and her fellow survivors, she never knows where it's going to take her. she always hopes it's one of two realms, but it never, ever is. so she's poking her nose in places they shouldn't be, as always, and it always ends with her getting brutally murdered because she's never learned to keep her mouth shut.
she wakes up by the fire, does it all again like it's her fucking day job, until there's that occasional pull to be food for the spider lady upstairs. rinse and repeat.
yui walks and walks until she finally sees the coal tower beyond the mist. she's probably died by trapper's cleaver lodged in her throat and then her head in one too many trials since their Deal, so dropping a flashbang or a pallet in his face was fair game.
she doesn't know if he's home, and she doesn't care. she keeps an eye out for the traps strewn across his property, and still it's not enough. her left foot gets caught in one — all because she spotted her new precious pet project aka the ✨VINTAGE RED CORVETTE✨ — and a strangled cry is ripped from her throat. ]
Fucking fuck—!
[ she's furious, falling to one knee to try and pry the fucking thing open, but its teeth are biting into her ankle. it takes every ounce of self-restraint she has in her to not dig into her toolbox and take it apart, even through the agonizing pain. she's done more with worse injuries.
but he's lucky that she doesn't. however, she does kick that stupid beartrap away with her good foot once she's managed to free her bloodied one. she plops her ass down in the grass and rummages through her rusty toolbox for bandages, or a shirt, or something —
well, if he didn't know she was here before... he's gotta know now, right? ]

Only said I thought you were smarter. Doesn't mean it's true.
Besides, you could be both. Frank makes that tooth monster look bright sometimes.
[ He means the Demogorgon. Which, in his mind, is automatically smarter by right of never leaving its territory. ]
