           obligation outweighs emotion.

   laura knows this, she practically has it  t a t t o o e d  on her heart, the words    memorized with a quick  (  yet  still  soft  -  spoken,  when  need be  )  tongue.    it's   her   obligation           her   right   as  a  student,  as  a  fighter,  as  a  "self    proclaimed"  journalist          to  save  silas;  even  with  all  it's fractured parts,    wherein darkness seems to seep,  to ache... if one would look close enough.    & GOD, did her weakly,  worn out hands find every crack, misshapen brick &    breach that'd run broken across this university.

            obligation outweighs emotion,  this is of which laura knows.  something she             doesn't, however          for all her poor naivety, this list is ever growing          is             how carmilla can be feet  away,  a stoic statuesque,  apathetic  &  unnerving.             book  pages  feathered  between  fingertips   (  FINGERTIPS  that  only  mere             hours        or days? heartbreak's a drunken induced haze to her         brushed             away tendrils of brown as lips parted just to say,  WHATEVER  YOU  NEED  )             calm, as laura's own heart  is  collapsing  within  itself,  like  a  b l a c k h o l e,             consuming what's left of her tears, just as everything else there.

           hums. but consider this: royalty aus.

            prince / princess being betrothed to someone due to their lineage, but loving another.   prince / princess falling for a servant because they’re forced to live life enclosed within castle walls.                 classic one, where the muses are betrothed, but also can’t stand one another.                                        king / queen dynamics.                                                       monarchs, LIONHEARTS.

                                      fantasy threads.

           though sorrow bleeds into her frown, FIRM in the way their hands have entwined themselves together, it is ANGER that takes hold of her voice & seeps past clenched teeth ; anger, frustration, pain, grief. (  grief ?? you haven’t lost him yet, silly lamb. but how long can PEACE last in war ??  )  “  please, booker. will you stop being an idiot & just LISTEN to me ?  ”  a hiccup of air is all that separates them when she steps closer, eyes wide & pleading, grip unrelenting.  “  don’t go. there’s NOTHING else you can do for them ; all you’ll accomplish is getting yourself killed. & i — i need you HERE. i need you. can’t you understand that ?  ”

war worn is the sinew that just barely wraps  &  weaves shoulders together setting them in   a slouch; thoughts a dull flicker of flame that calm to static when she separates the silence that'd been resting ill upon conjoined fingers         their grip like talons, having no mercy to blood laden bandages that ease against soon placid    flesh. it is nevermore than a dull ache, for sin of his tragedies suffer  &  cover that beyond enough. she speaks, he considers         or, words reach his ears, & he doth not do more than listen to them. mind decided of it's own intent, as   usual.   ’  i won't         i can HANDLE this, i told ya' that already. must've been a hundred times now.  

    wicker of palms itch, tendrils that withhold the injury from worsening like bristle opposite to his skin. an adam's apple bobs & booker doesn't even remember inhaling, only      people are dying. there's blood on my hands   people are   STILL dying.   ’  &  they need me out there! i can't be in two places at once, elizabeth,     flickering gazes slip, shutter - struck from escalation of his tone. this time, when apologies fog like clouds within a columned throat, the swallow is     purposeful.   ’  no matter... how much i want to be         i can't.

Breaths come fast, chest heaving with the effort to breathe. The assassin is unconscious at her feet. She’s still panicking, however, obvious when she spins, paper weight clutched in her shaking hand.

                                  ’  shit          ‘

the word’s spat like a hair trigger         crass & graveled does he divulge it; not once betraying what she may be able perceive to  from his profile.  jaw set,  shoulders quick to imitate such,  beryl jade  -  tinge of his sight seeks ahead,   searching for something.

                          injuries, afflictions, emotional turmoil?                                he’d seen it all.

SHE IS A FOLD IN THE FABRIC OF THEIR COUCH –        a wrinkle in the corner of their apartment, barely noticeable, barely there, the long stretch of tree-limb legs half-hidden beneath a blanket coveted from his bedroom   ( because for some reason she finds that scott always possesses the NICEST blankets,   &   if she revels in the scent of his aftershave   &   the way it LINGERS on her skin,  fog on the water, who’s to know? )   &   the shard of her jaw caught in the web of her palm.    exhaustion snakes over her bones, ivory around the haunted house of her frame   &   a yawn is caught on her tongue, sleep curled beneath her eyelids as daydreams of retreating to her bedroom run wild across her mind.     ——     another sip is taken her coffee       ( three sugars   &   a little too bitter, as always !! )     as the delicate rosebud of her nose    w i t h e r s    with the heavy taste on her tongue.     she clears her throat, voices,      ❛ scott, if you don’t find the movie i’m going back to bed —- ❜    another yawn is stifled between her teeth, a mouthful of      (   long   )      nights at the hospital bursting against her cheeks.    ❛ & i mean it this time. ❜

redolence of withering white hospital walls   sheets of once sick  (  some always sick  )   eclipse beneath the deep, fawn dip that is scott's skin. mist from his shower was a poor condolence to rid himself of        the essence, dew still caught under crookedly set mandibles; a drip coils, diffident  &  slow to fall as he curves crescent in search of star wars. stiles had only stuck copies   from a seemingly INSURMOUNTABLE stack he'd kept? ) within every hidey hole that'd littered throughout their  -  shared  -  space.   s o r r y. it's here somewhere, i have to just          scour an entire shelf riddled with cinematic classics neither had, a presumable thought, ever              watched? or ( as he manages to curl away fingertips that mimic the vaguest form of panic just a fraction  discover it stowed aside, clandestine under a bowl of too torrid popcorn, the... entire time.   uh... found it? that's       yeah, that's my b a d. ‘           cusp of his touch descends in a single, gossamer movement; fever - like warmth of his neck inching the opposite way, chasing to cheeks       where they flourish out a smile, despite the shallow pool of scott's embarrassment.   it'll be worth it, i PROMISE.  feet shift their weight, one to another, band of sweats dipped low as    he scoots in, with commonly gracious nature, beside her         you haven't seen it, right? stiles has been hounding me non - stop for as long as i can remember.
