( why does julian always have to be the adult here. it's annoying. irritating. he hates it. except he also realizes: being the adult is the role he took on intentionally, it's just that he hadn't planned on bringing quire into the equation. leading the hellions back in the day? fine. outside of jay, they were all on the same wavelength - or, well, sooraya may have not agreed with him sometimes, but she still listened. when he'd cover noriko's ass, people would listen. when he was shoved into the rejects-slash-would-be-villains class? they still listened. but quire? is in a whole other league. that's part of the bullshit with teams, isn't it? compatibility. and the whole blah blah blah leader responsibility to pull everyone together or whatever, which is, admittedly, a little above his paygrade. )
Fuck it. This isn't working.
( it's grumbled out loud, more to himself than anything else, before julian turns himself back around and doesn't bother with the whole i'm coming for you slow walking around routine, because neither of them are limited to crap like that. he's walking through aphaia one moment, and flying at an almost concerning speed straight for quentin, fully intending on just ramming straight into him to grab hold of his collar and shove him back against the closest wall.
because that's what quentin was after, right? the bully routine. )
