awwww thank you <3

Thank you! I’m really glad you did <3

Hello! I didn’t write anything for a while. A lot of not good stuff is happening in my life, and I’m trying to deal with that first, so I don’t have a lot of time. And sometimes, I’m not in the right writing mood - feeling guilty can truly mess your idea of a story up. 

As for not answering questions - with some of the asks/comments I’ve been getting lately, I thought it would be better not to answer them, to keep the feelings of this blog at least a bit positive, since writing and this blog was supposed to be my hideaways, my feel good places.  

I’m sorry I didn’t deliver a lot of answers. I hope you’re all doing well thought and thank you so much for all your support!

Haha, I really should. I just don’t spend that much time online, lately, since I only have two/three hours of free time a day in the last time and I Do admit, I do a lot of other stuff. But is there a way to get an email when someone writes me a message on tumblr? Because that would amazingly help. 

Why doesn’t tumblr notify me of messages?! So.. if we say Tornado Twins do we mean Don and Dawn or Nora and Dawn? (not really up to date with Flash right now) 

Awww I’m really glad you did, nonnie!

"Didn’t think you’d go along with this charade.” Leonard drawls from the doorway, his gaze focused on Ray and his arms crossed over his chest. It’s the stance that Sara calls defensive, closed off to the world, but Ray doesn’t see it that way any more. Leonard’s simply most comfortable that way. 

“Why is that?” He asks with a small smile, pulling off the cowboy hat - the same he used the first time in the Wild West. From the same batch of clothes that Leonard, himself, is wearing.

“Didn’t know Jews celebrate Halloween.” Leonard points out, pulling away from the wall and slipping into the room quietly, and yet still with enough confidence as if he owned it.

Ray stops in the middle of pulling of the vest, before he slowly turns around. While it’s true that Ray’s pretty open with his religion, celebrates his own holidays, he doesn’t remember ever mentioning that in front of Leonard. Ray’s sure he didn’t mention it Before and he thinks he didn’t mention it After either. 

“We don’t.” He admitted, the question not asked, but clear in his eyes. “But right now, this is not really about celebrating Halloween.” 

Leonard leans his head to the side, refusing to answer the Ray’s question, but still asking his own. The gesture painfully familiar from Before and After both. 

“No?” 

“No.” Ray smiles, finally pulling the hat off. “It’s about celebrating with friends.” Leonard watches him, doesn’t say anything so Ray shrugs and continues. “The way we live? The way we do things? We’re not even part of any timeline currently. It’s like we don’t even exist.” He says quietly, sitting down at the bed, looking down at his cowboy boots. They remind him of the time long ago, a time that was still part of the Before category. “We are the only ones knowing about each other. There is no one else to make memories with.” Their little adventures, short visits into history were important when it came to protecting the time itself, but… “we keep losing people left and right. Friends, lovers… “ His throat is dry, but Ray still pushes the words out, even if it feels like they physically hurt. “The more memories I have with people, the less likely I forget. I don’t want to forget anyone.” 

It’s quiet after that and Ray doesn’t dare to look up at Leonard. They both know what Ray’s thinking about, who Ray’s thinking about and-

“You’re an idiot.” The words sound almost fond. Ray can almost imagine the roll of Leonard’s eyes and he can’t help the pout.“Hey I don’t really think that’s fai-” 

Leonard doesn’t really seem too interested in knowing what Ray considers fair or doesn’t At least if the way he crosses the room and grabs the back of Ray’s head and kisses it is anything to go by. Ray can’t really complain. He doesn’t even want to. Leonard’s lips are moving against his own, not hot and demanding like usual lately, but slow and soft, almost hesitant. 

Ray can’t open his eyes the moment Leonard pulls back. His heart’s racing too fast for such a gentle kiss and it’s only after Leonard’s hands move to cup his face, his thumb running over Ray’s cheek that he manages to do so with a deep breath.

“Raymond.” Leonard’s eyes are glowing with this weird green light the way they sometimes do ever since After, “I can promise you. Every time line knows about you. And thus, the legends.”

Ray has no idea what to make out of that. He has so many new questions, questions that need answers, but Leonard only shakes his head, the unnatural glow finally leaving his eyes. 

“You’ll find out soon enough.” He mutters, before he straightens up. He turns as if to leave and Ray’s hand jumps up, clutching at Leonard’s arm.  Maybe he can’t have the answers he wants right now, but that doesn’t matter. 

“Don’t go.” 

And Leonard doesn’t. He huffs, but sits down, throwing his feet up on the bed purposely. He’s half glaring, but his whole body is relaxed. 

“If Mick complains I’m breaking our traditions, I’m blaming you.” 

“Will he complain?” Ray asks with innocently. They don’t talk about After much. They don’t talk about what exactly it did with Leonard, but Ray can read in between the lines. He sees just how many times the hunches that Leonard has are correct, and something tells him, screams at him that it’s not simple coincidence or luck. 

The way Leonard’s eyes narrow at him tells him all he needs to know anyway. 

“Well, aren’t you smart.” Leonard drawls and Ray can’t help the smile on his face. Yes. Yes, he is. That’s exactly why he kisses Leonard again, more hungrily this time, shivering when Leonard’s hands, slip under his shirt and over Ray’s skin. 

Yep, he’s smart enough to know that any talking can wait till later. Much later. 

(Yeees, I Know I’m late but I only found this ask today since somehow the asks don’t show up as notifications in tumblr app for me for some reason. Also I have no idea what countries celebrating Halloween actually do, so eh...yeah sorry about that. I tried though! Enjoy?) 

... it’s really scary that someone knows. Thank you

Saint Patrick’s Day? I need to google that first :D I just think about green when someone mentions that day :D
