A usual friday night, Desmond was walking down the street back home. Aside from occasionally glancing down at his phone to change the music in a singular plugged in earbud, he was transfixed by the lights of the rainy city night around him. Yes, normally he wasn’t the type to stop and gaze starry-eyed at those sorts of details, but the truth was that he was definitely a little wasted. He had decided to get back before the full effects kicked in, when…
As he was admiring the lights and not paying too much attention to where he was walking, a taller bulkier figure nearly slammed into him, whose body mass was clearly much larger than his; “FUck-“ Desmond loudly cursed, partially out of surprise as he was knocked to the ground, this person landing on top of him.
Thankfully he had caught himself by his hands, and he was honestly about to start chewing this guy out for running into him. He was NOT in the mood for this. Clicking his tongue in annoyance, he opened up his mouth in preparation to yell at this stranger …until he looked up, and realized what kind of person this was.
It was a cop. A fucking cop! Desmond immediately froze as his words were abruptly caught in his throat. Great, one of the last people he wanted to see right now! Had someone tipped off the police and snitched that he was selling drugs? What about all of the street fights he had gotten into recently?
It didn’t help that he was currently under the influence and some tiny bags in his pockets had started to feel just a little heavier…
“…sorry. But get off of me.” Desmond replied in a quiet voice, trying to hide his dilated pupils and act as normal as possible. He slowly got up from the ground, trying not to appear as a threat or anyone suspicious… but there was definitely something weird about this cop. Desmond could have sworn that he smelled blood… he knew that smell anywhere. Ah, and was that blood on his uniform, too? It was almost 4 am in the morning, too… did cops usually patrol this late? He couldn’t recall with his cocaine-addled brain at the moment, but decided to leave that question for another day.
He squinted before letting his ringing sixth-sense decide what to do for him as he tried his best to casually abandon the scene. The way the blond had apologized and smiled made his skin crawl. It reminded him too much of himself, of someone who was hiding something. Someone who wasn’t right.
Desmond huffed, trying his best not to break out into a full run for multiple reasons… what a horrible person to have run into! (For him, anyway…)

Desmond's face mellowed into a blush, even the tips of his ears were burning red. Truthfully, he was about to yell at Jasper for knocking him over, but... his reply changed things. Drastically.
"Something tells me that he's not very sorry..." He thought. As he stood up, he brushed his hair back out of his face; "Hey, thanks~ Right back at you..." He replied in his usual honeyed voice, eyes half-lidded with a playful smirk upturning a corner of his mouth.
