[ you're lucky that he's as apparently hot and bothered as he is, because otherwise he'd be snapping and snarling. granted, that might be preferable to Apollo at the current moment.
(likely the recipient was supposed to be Jan, Gem or Gil, considering the subject matter and how he reacts, cracking open an eye to skim the message before responding) ]
thought you would appreciate me being more open about it.
and what if I ended up making you use your mouth instead?
[ well he always did enjoy the push and pull that Orion managed to give him, the thrill of a challenge that he couldn't find anywhere else. there were those that came close, perhaps, but honestly Apollo couldn't be bothered most of the time.
perhaps this is what one might call a 'weak spot'. ]
consider me very appreciative.
oh, and do you think you could make me do that, darling? you know that I wouldn't make it easy
[ even if he figured it out that he was actually speaking with his ex/enemy, Orion ... well, it's complicated still. he's slowly working through it in actual healthy ways, in comparison. he can't really deny that he wishes that there were some trace of Vel left in there, but he knows that it can't go back to that time. both of them were different people from back then. ]
thought so.
you know I could. and that's half the fun, isn't it?
[ that bridge was burned waaaay too long ago. even if they have the same shared goal of taking out the man that turned them into this, there's too much that's changed. ]
that's the least surprising thing you've said. also surprised that you haven't sent anything else back.
[ Apollo knows that he should not send a picture of himself, knows that Orion most certainly does not realize to whom he is speaking to, but listening to the voice of reason was never his strong suit.
[ the hollow laugh only raises Orion's hackles further, and it's probably for the best that he can't see his reaction. granted, he probably can easily imagine. ]
You can absolutely be blamed for deceiving my crew by being someone you're not.
Tricking Jan into thinking you just wanted a good time with him? Didn't think that shot knocked your memories loose.
[ unfortunately it is something that even with the addition of more crew members and especially ones that he could confide in without feeling any sort of regret...
If that was my intent, it worked rather well, didn't it?
[ can you hear the shit eating grin on his face? surely you can.]
Besides, I did no luring at all. Perhaps you should be keeping yours on a tighter leash there, Orion. No telling what they might get up to unsupervised after all.

I think it might be a little more than half the fun, seeing you that focused has always been a favourite of mine, especially when the focus is on me.

[ welp, it was nice while it lasted. ]

which is why he sends this a beat later.]
enough for you, or should I focus on my mouth a little more for you.
no subject
Not until I know you've left me and mine alone, Apollo.
no subject
I only ever seek you out, Orion. I cannot be blamed when yours go wandering in the dark and stumble into me, now can I?

[ he doesn't need to see you to know your reactions, Orion. unfortunately for you, he still knows you far too well.]

well, some habits die harder than others. ]

[ Jan thought it meant sex and Apollo thought that something that was going to get under Orion's skin in the worst way possible.]

[ you can practically hear the eyeroll. ]
You lured him in to draw me out.

Fuck off. They shouldn't have to look over their shoulders like that.
