Tate was convinced he was psychic. Either that, or he was simply used to the routine. Constance tried to corner him before he could make it to the front door. It helped being able to drop a bombshell while flipping her off, that he was going to hang out with a girl from school. It allowed him to have some money pushed into his hands as he diverted his way around his mom, AND get out the door while she acted all proud of him and oh-so-happy that he actually wasn't gay and she had some glimmer of hope for a grandbaby. Someday. After he became a doctor. Or a lawyer.

It would've been awesome if she hadn't said any of that, outloud. But she did. And that's why Tate kept right on flipping her off, until it reached the point that he either pulled his hand back, or it was going to get slammed in the front door. While the effect and shock value of doing that would've been epic win, it probably wouldn't be so great for him to have to ask Violet to take him to the emergency room for a busted wrist or fingers.

Even though he could all but feel his mother's eyes burning holes into his back from one of the windows, he remained turned away and never once looked over his shoulder to confirm that's what she was doing. He knew already. Both hands were shoved into his pockets and his shoulders were slumped as he stood at the end of the driveway, waiting for Violet to show up.

"Let's promise." Violet found her purse, fishing around in it for her Swiss Army knife. She rolled off of him and with a satisfying click, pressed out the tiny cutting implement. "Here and now, let's promise each other."

She cut her hand with the lack of hesitation that could only come from being a person who habitually cut herself. Handing the knife over to Tate, she grinned impishly at him before admiring the darkness of blood by firelight.

"Looks like you've done that before," Tate was saying as he took the knife, and dug the blade into the palm of his hand before sliding it down, splitting the flesh. He didn't wince, he didn't make a noise, and he didn't even breathe sharply. It was a familiar form of pain.

There were dimples in his cheeks as he smirked at her, holding out his bleeding hand to her, not even noticing the dark droplets as they dripped down and soaked into the sand. "Promise."

	"A few times." She smiled at him as well, taking his bleeding hand into her own and squeezing. She met his eyes, not looking away as they bled into each other. "Always," she murmured. She took a finger of his blood and lightly traced it over her lower lip. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

His own hand firmly squeezed her's, not hard enough to hurt, but to show his conviction. His smile turned into a grin as he watched her rub the blood onto her lip. Even though it sounded ultra cheesy, it was like he found his soul mate...someone that finally made him want to be a better person, whereas the rest of the world could fuck off and die.

"Always," he murmured, and leaned forward to seal the promise with a kiss.

	She kissed him harder, wrapping her arms around him and pulling him closer. For the first time in her seventeen years, she actually believed someone when they promised her something. (Reply to this) (Parent)
