This blog will move~

{I really miss writing. And I keep saying I will come back, then I do two threads and then I am gone for 4 months. And I have finally realized why.

So to help myself, since this blog has some bad memories on it for me now, that’s why I avoid it, I will delete this blog and start over somewhere new.

Well maybe not delete but archive it at least for now. And move what I need over to a whole new blog.

Fresh start, new memories and so much more love for you guys. And for writing. Because lord I have missed it. And I will not let a bad past stop me.}

“How did I know you were going to twist my words like that, eh?” he teased, squeezing her harder. “You’re getting predictable.”
“I love you Viper. I’d do anything for you. Even if you and Tarrek weren’t together or something anymore, I’d still love you.”

“Hey I can’t help that you make it easy to just twist them into jokes” She teased back, letting out a big breathe.

“I love you too, you big dork. Also don’t say that, it might jinx us or something and I don’t want that.”

Tarren lifted his brows and smiled at her. “Well, you’re a little too late on that front, you’re dating my brother, remember? We are all in,” he chuckled and dragged her in for a hug. “Nothing is going to happen to us. Nothing we can’t handle anyway,” he promised. “If he shows his face around here. Well, it won’t be for long,” he murmured in her ear.
Tarren killed only to protect. Her father appearing would only be to hurt, so he would kill to protect her from that, if necessary.

Hugging the other back when pulled in for a hug, Viper could almost feel the tears start up in her eyes, trying to push them back. It was just a nice feeling to hear that she had people on her side, even if she did know as much anyway.

“Oh so it’s not even because you like me, it’s just because I’m dating your brother? I am a little insulted.”

Ignore the slight hitch to the voice. She is not crying.

“Well, not in a fight, lovely,” he teased, catching under her elbow and shoving it up away from him as his open hand went to shove against her upper chest. There was a big grin on his face, he was enjoying himself, even if he didn’t seem to be working too hard. “You a formally trained fighter or self-taught?” he wondered.

Most other fights and she would have had a problem with not landing a hit yet. This one though she was not sure either of them were fully trying, and honestly it was fun either way.

“Trained some in military. Mostly self taught from street fighting. Mix styles. Make your own.”

Taking the shove from him, but making sure to grab onto the same arm that was being used to shove her, Viper tried to use the momentum of it to yank him forward and trip him.

Hey a bigger person then you when in a fight, use their own movements against them right?

“Sometimes older is better… maybe it doesn’t hurt as much as you think it might…” He offered as he digested the rest of her words, slowly snapping different pieces into place of what he knew of Viper. Like that she was talking about her father. It broke his own heart a bit. He loved his own so dearly and thought of him so fondly, it was so sad that some people just didn’t have the same.
“It is a matter of perspective…and that’s mine,” he smiled gently, still considering his words about the greater issue carefully.
“So the greater conflict must be resolved to possibly find peace with yourself.” Of course, that made a lot of sense. She was still living with her wound, with no justice served. He brought one hand to his chin, his eyes going a bit distant. This was his job. This was what the Capulet crew at the station did. They dealt with criminals who weren’t or couldn’t be dealt with through the justice system…
“You know Tarrek and I would protect you, don’t you? Quinn too.” And to be fair, Quinn could do a lot scarier things than kill someone.

Well yes old wounds were usually the best ones in that often they had healed more then you thought if you looked into it. And she thought it would have been true here as well if not for the fact that it kept being ripped open every time something happened that came from this everlasting conflict between her and her father.

“Yeah well you are one of the sweetest people on this world, so I really did not expect another perspective from you.”She muttered while giving a grin at him.

Peace with oneself? Oh yeah that was a thing that could happen. Not that she knew if she would ever be able to actually calm down enough in her mind to be at peace, but even just a few moments would be nice honestly.

“I know, and I love you guys for it. But I also don’t really want to bring you into it. You guys have enough going on, and I know you guys are strong, but if something happened to anyone of you, I’d be devastated and never forgive myself.”

“I think so. Feelings are just feelings. You feel what you feel. So if you act happy and it makes you feel happy then, I would think you do feel happy,” he smiled. It was a simplistic view but Tarren tried take those where he could get them, the world was complicated so why make it moreso?
“I think it’s never too late to take care of something rotten-something that doesn’t feel good or right. I don’t think you’re a bad person Viper, I don’t think you ever have been. But…I feel like you hurt,” he murmured, his brow furrowing slightly in concern. It was genuine care, not put on or fishing for information. Tarren was very sensitive and intuitive, while he didn’t have a way to know for sure if he was right-and maybe he wasn’t- he’d learned to trust his gut a long time ago.

She could understand his point of view, though maybe it was not something she agreed with fully, but there was some trust to it she supposed. It sounded too simple for her, one who was used to seeing the world in a very complicated matter, changing things to seeing things in a simple light would be a big change.

“I don’t know how much can be done about something this old, nor when part of the reason it is there is still very much alive and chasing after you as well. It’s like two forces clashing at all times, and as long as that war rages, nothing really can be done.”

Her mindset had changed so much in the last few years. Before she would have been happy to go after her father, to take revenge. Then she started getting scared of how being without that purpose would change her. Now she was just...Tired. And it seemed like as soon as she had stopped chasing him down, he started chasing her.

“Bad person is a matter of perspective I believe.”

“Acting happy can make you feel happy,” he noted, reaching out to take her hand in both of his. “I’m usually happy, though, you’re right, no one is always happy. But if you have something deep down that’s hurting and you don’t do anything about it…it kind of…rots and gets worse. Now, I can’t tell you what’s best for you or anything, but if you ever want to open up and talk, or just talk, anything. I’m pretty good at that,” he smiled.

“But is it truly happy if it started from an act?” Where did the line go for what was happy truly or happy like you were faking it so hard that you make it? “I think it is too late for something not to be rotten inside of me, that’s for sure. And to be fair, you are one of the few people I do feel like I would be able to talk with. So thank you very much. And you know I am here for you as well.”

He frowned a bit and tilted his head slightly, golden eyes examining her closely. “Are you really as happy as you seem to be?” he asked. Sure, she seemed bouncy and energetic, but so did he, and he didn’t always feel that way necessarily.

“Is anyone ever?” It was the first thing that came out off her mouth, flinching slightly after saying it. Viper didn’t like admitting to it often. “It’s often easier to act happy then to have people question it and you don’t really have an answer..Plus being happy really pissed off the people who hates you.”

“Wow, you have a lot of them…Are you okay Viper?” he asked semi-serious, semi-teasing.

“Well after like ten years of doing this, you collect quite a few of them. And I love them all. They solve all my problems.” She mused with a slight smile.
