Cast aside
A/N: Yes, this is my first FF for a book series, so I have no idea if I'll get the characters right. Hoping I will. As per usual, I own nothing. Wylan, Jesper, and Inej are owned by Leigh Bardugo. Possible spoilers.
Pairing: Wesper
"Jesper," Kuwei—Wylan said, closing the door behind him. Looking at him, Jesper quickly had to remind himself that this wasn't Bo Yul-Bayur's son.
He was Van Eck's instead, and despite the uncanny resemblance; Wylan was, luckily, nothing like him. Nothing like him at all, and they were grateful for it.
"Jesper," Wylan repeated, sitting beside him.
"Merchling," Jesper replied, barely looking at him.
His pearl-handled revolvers always held more interest over Wylan any day. Or at least he hoped they did now.
"I wanted to." He said, his voice unwavering and sure of himself.
He said it like Jesper did, mostly to himself, after he lost a hand. He said it as if that was the only option he had. That wasn't important right now. Not much was, other than the four million kruge and Inej.
They needed to find Inej.
Jesper glanced at Wylan, looking into eyes that weren't blue anymore. Touching pale, seemingly breakable skin instead of tan. It all felt wrong, and he couldn't bear looking at Wylan as he spoke of his decision. Maybe he liked his stupid face more than normal.
