'Broken Image' ♡ (MXM) ♡

- wanting more -

Milo flipped the papers around, touching his temple, his eyes looking down. "We have. Nothing comes up from them."

Oxzy couldn't help but roll his eyes. How could the whole station search the small amount of grubs and find nothing? The grubs are full of gangs and drug dealers, yes, but that makes it less hard to find the culprit of a killing. Although, Oxzy could feel like Milo isn't trying very hard. He wasn't trying at all.

Instead of saying his true thoughts, Oxzy stayed silent. That led to Milo continuing, off topic. "Y'know, I was just wondering... What do you do when you're not, I don't know, fighting or doing your job?" His hands moved around in thoughts, "is it a job to you? I mean, you don't get paid for it so I just wonder if you want to?"

The hero felt himself doze off, mind wandering as he wanted to be anywhere but here. Thinking about other things, he just thought about what he needed to get before going home, he could stop by the grubs and search for the killer himself.

Only he knew if he was caught in the grubs and recognized, he might need to do more than what he wanted. But just hearing Milo ramble on about things OTHER than the important matter made him feel like he had to. Randy was, by all means, not an important matter. He continued to ramble about something, Oxzy gave no mind to him. Only wondering if he wanted to look for the killer himself.

Well, he felt like he had to.

A sudden touch to his hand brought him back to reality, he pulled away in shock seeing Milo awkwardly pull away. Putting his hands to his side, he gave a small smile. "Sorry, you weren't responding."

"What did you ask?"

Milo looked taken aback, sensing that Oxzy wasn't paying attention to him at all. He felt annoyed and hurt all at once, but he shot the feelings down. Maybe the hero had a lot on his mind? He didn't want to think too much since he wanted the hero to feel more comfortable with him.

So he kept on asking questions, coming closer with each one until he was almost touching the oblivious hero.

Oxzy had never been hit on before by a guy. A few times by girls, but a guy was a new thing for him. Which is why he hasn't caught onto the look Milo was giving him. In some ways, it was a very different way to "flirt." Milo could get anyone he wanted by being the sheriff in the town, but his eyes were on Oxzy.

His curly dark sea of hair, bright gray blue eyes and long lashes. He didn't know when he started to pay attention, but he couldn't pull it away. All he wanted to do was kiss him.

His hand hovering over Oxzy's, his eyes mere inches from him. Milo was so close, he could do it. But it was washed away when the sound of knocking echoed through the office. Jamisen yelled through the wood, calling for his sheriff to finish and help with training Jayce.

Milo stood and apologized to Oxzy, asking if he needed a ride. Oxzy quickly shook his head, claiming he could get home by himself. The secretiveness of the hero's living place made the officer want to know more. To dive into what the hero kept so quiet and unknown. He couldn't do so now.

But he hoped too soon.

~The Grubs, unknown-
The hero had decided that he could look for the killer himself, he stopped by a shop to cover himself so no one in the filthy area could recognize and target him. An over-sized black hoodie and ripped black jeans, Oxzy blended into the background. Granted, this wasn't the first time he was in the grubs and tried to track down a "wanted" killer, but this time, he came more prepared. He knew bad things would happen if he came into this part of town without hiding himself.

He didn't know what to do exactly, all he knew was to start off by looking around. Find something that gives off what Oxzy is looking for and follow from there. What Oxzy was looking for was a group, a group that was selling things in the dark, maybe a bit of violence against their own people, then Oxzy had a lead.
