A little rain never hurt anyone and the same was true for the pair perched on a roof. They'd been half under the eaves while the downpour had been in full force but now there was a lull they could sit more comfortably. After wringing out their hair and re-tying it back they checked on their mark only to realise he still wasn't done. No matter. The price on his head was more than worth the hours they'd been waiting and as the moon was revealed behind them they were already planning on how to spend it.

A good room for the night; warm and dry and secure. Soft beds. A hot meal and drinks. Things most people in this lavish settlement took for granted but that Ivan and Cazador had to earn. Those days of long, cold nights and painfully empty stomachs was coming to an end though as with each job they took, every contract complete, not only did their savings build but their reputation did too. And people would always pay for the best.

After a long stretch Caz yawned and leaned against her brother. Gold eyes peered through the silvery night but no words were spoken. Words were unnecessary when most of your conversations came in meaningful glances, subtle gestures and soft sounds. Years alone together had given them their own language that had proved vital when silence was key. She gave him a soft nudge and Ivan's cold blue gaze immediately snapped to where hers already was.

There.

While the full moon might have given their mark an advantage... the two of t hem could move unseen in broad daylight. He had a small handful of bodyguards with him --someone had obviously tipped him off-- but that only made it a challenge. Lean muscle tensed beneath leather and fabric. It was time to strike and they could already smell blood.

A gift for  patchesotron who, along with a bunch of other good people on an rp server on discord, have been keeping my idiot ass afloat through a bunch of crap. They're not having too good a time so I started and tried to finish a thing for them based on an AU featuring two of our OCs that, despite being developed ENTIRELY SEPARATELY, converged so much they're like twinsies. So I have dubbed them Stablings (stab siblings) and they are Very Good Beans.

This is set in a sort of post-apoc wasteland scenario where the two of them grew up half feral scrappy survivors who took to murder for hire, found a sponsor who educated them into MORE LETHAL MURDER, and now they're charistmatic bastards who could kill you with a look long before they ever took a knife to you.

So this is to Patches for not only being a trooper but for blessing my life with Ivan and letting me shove my idiot bitch at him so they can be BESTEST FRIENDS.
