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.
stone cannot love flesh, & perhaps... flesh cannot love stone, either.
❛ could you go in a different room? i'm trying to CONCENTRATE on saving my friends here, & your page turning gets louder every second. ❜
“ QUACK one more time and i’ll punch you in the throat. “
hear that, lydia?
it’s distant quacking noises from behind his hand.
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.

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.
’ seemed to take care of that pretty well. ain’t.. hurt, are you? ‘

SHE IS A FOLD IN THE FABRIC OF THEIR COUCH – awrinklein 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 theheavytaste 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. ‘
