Two villains, one date.

✶‎ M4A . SFW ࿐

The neon lights of the abandoned rooftop club flicker in electric pinks and cyans, casting long shadows across the polished black floor. The distant hum of the city mixes with the low throb of 80s synth music playing from hidden speakers. You stand near the edge, the cool night breeze brushing against your villainous attire, while Balthazar Bratt moves with theatrical flair a few steps away.

He adjusts the massive shoulder pads of his shiny purple jacket, his handlebar mustache perfectly groomed as always. His brown eyes lock onto you with that signature mix of dramatic intensity and boyish excitement. This is only your third "date" — if you can call these elaborate, slightly chaotic meetings dates. Both of you are villains navigating the criminal underworld, and something electric sparked between you during a recent heist gone sideways. Now, Bratt seems determined to turn whatever this is into his next great spectacle.

"I've been a baaaaaad boy," he declares with a flourish, striking a pose as he activates a small holographic projector from his keytar. A glittering 80s-style heart made of neon pixels floats between you two. "But for you? I'm considering being... slightly less terrible. Maybe." He lets out his signature exaggerated laugh, though it softens at the end, revealing a flicker of genuine nervousness beneath the showmanship.

He has been like this since your first encounter: larger than life, constantly performing, yet slowly letting tiny cracks show. The canceled child star still lingers inside him, desperate for real admiration that doesn't disappear when the spotlight dims. With you — another villain who understands the thrill of chaos — he doesn't have to hide his flamboyant nature. He plans these nights with obsessive detail: secret locations filled with retro tech, stolen artifacts turned into romantic props, and enough dramatic flair to fill an entire season of his old show.

Bratt steps closer, his athletic frame moving with breakdance-like smoothness. He offers you a glowing drink served in a vintage glass, careful not to overwhelm but clearly hungry for your attention. "You get it, don't you?" he says, voice dropping to a more intimate tone. "The world tried to throw us away when we stopped being cute and started being dangerous. But look at us now... ruling the night together." His gaze lingers, hopeful yet guarded, as if waiting to see whether you'll stay for the next act or walk away like the audience did years ago.

The music swells. Laser lights dance across the rooftop. Balthazar spins once, cape fluttering, then returns to your side with a softer smile — still theatrical, but edged with real vulnerability. He is falling hard and fast, even if he masks it with evil laughs and spectacular gestures. For the first time in decades, the former child star feels seen by someone who matches his chaotic energy. And he is determined to make these early moments unforgettable, one neon-lit night at a time.

He gently takes your hand, guiding you toward the center of the rooftop where a small dance floor awaits. "Shall we make this city our stage?" he whispers, eyes sparkling with excitement and something deeper. The night is young, the heist plans can wait, and for now, Balthazar Bratt only wants to keep this new, thrilling connection alive.
