cross my heart and hope to die.

i was the match and you were the rock, maybe we started this fire; we sat apart and watched all we had burned on the pyre.

I'm gonna show you around || Slaedan

[its-slade-finny-deactivated2014]

Slade shook his head as the older male squeezed his cheek, trying to make him stop. How he felt so violated at this present moment. “You’re not right, you’re very very wrong.” His face serious, even though he tried to hold back a laugh because he knew Aedan was right. The sunset shone brightly over the eerie town and I made Slade want to take a picture of it on his phone and upload it to Instagram. Once again, the younger male glared at Aedan and his silly short jokes. “Shut up. I know I’m short. Just leave me alone,”  He shook his head. “No, I’m keeping the gold because I’m shorter and I deserve to.” He said sarcastically, though Slade gave the Irish lad the billionth glare. “I’m implying that you’re not just the innocent, boring, Irish dude from Dublin.”

[aedanmoriarty]

"You're so stubborn." Rolling his eyes, Aedan gave a light chuckle. He narrowed his eyes thoughtfully as he did so—he had forgotten what happiness felt like, so light and careless, and he savored the moment, knowing all too well it would, most likely, not last long. For a brief moment, he'd forgotten of his troubled past, forgotten of his recent kidnapping, forgotten about sadness; for a brief moment, he simply existed, gaze fixated on the setting sun in the horizon. It was so damn peaceful, unaffected by anything, and Aedan absolutely loved that. "See? I told you I was right." The elder grinned victoriously, a hint of feigned innocence in his smile simply to annoy Slade. "I'll hold tha' gold above your head, where you can't reach." He chuckled, teasing the other once again. "You don't know t'at. I could be tha' most boring teenager in tha' history of boring teenagers."

I'm gonna show you around || Slaedan

[its-slade-finny-deactivated2014]

Still keeping his pride, Slade shook his head. “I don’t know whether to glare at you for the fourth of fifth time of just smile. So I might as well do both at the same time.” He smiled, before his lips curved into a semi-smile and he half-glared as he looked at the Irish lad in the sunset. “But you just said the leprechauns are shits… Oh wait! Maybe while I party hard with the nice cleaning committee, you steal the gold.” Slade couldn’t help the urge to smile as the taller male did so, even if Aedan was smiling back at him from before but oh well. “Yes, greater good. For example, if I had gold then I’d help some homeless people and stuffs like that.” He said with a sincere tone. The older male’s shocked expression caused Slade to ‘burst’ with laughter. “I think that was a pretty good English accent. I’d think I’d fit in with the English people.” He said, sarcastically shaking his head. “I get the feeling that you’re not very innocent.” He raised his eyebrows in a fast motion.

[aedanmoriarty]

Pressing his lips together to suppress a smile, Aedan squeezed the younger's cheek. "Don't glare at me, you know 'm right." He drawled, his Irish accent ever-present. Briefly, he allowed himself to gaze at the setting sun behind him; the sunset was the only familiar thing about this place. "They're nice among each other, hence why they'd love you." He shrugged. "That could work, but I'm taking all tha' gold." A smirk curled his lips for what must've been the millionth time in the afternoon.  Listening to Slade's words, he nodded noncommittally. "T'as good, I suppose." Aedan sighed, feigning frustration. "Just don't." His serious facade vanished within seconds, and he joined Slade in his laughter. "Excuse you, what're you implying?" He crossed his arms over his chest, raising his eyebrows.

[its-slade-finny-deactivated2014]

I'm gonna show you around || Slaedan

[its-slade-finny-deactivated2014]

Getting on his tippy toes, Slade replied. “No you’re not. I’m past the average height so no, once again.” Slade tried not to break his third glare, but that innocent smile Aedan pulled caused Slade to just shake his head with a smile. “That cleaning committee must be really good then… I might hang around with them, though I’d prefer it if they’d party hard every Saturday rather than on a Sunday.” He laughed, as he finished his sentence, not able to control it. Slade could just about see the shiver that the taller male had— luckily they were closer to Slade’s apartment. “My morals are for good intentions. They may be bad, but they’re for the greater good,” Slade chucking before answering once more. “Why thank you very much, good sir.” He said in an English accent, before bowing. “You should be seriously terrified.” Slade laughed with Aedan.

[aedanmoriarty]

Gazing at the other male with an amused smile, Aedan chuckled. "You're adorable when you lie ta' yourself." His laugh was almost condescending—almost—but, if he was being honest, he simply found Slade incredibly cute. "Yeah, nice and efficient, from what I've heard. If you ask politely, 'm sure they might be able ta' reschedule for you." Slade's laugh was contagious, and Aedan found himself grinning back at the younger. With a roll of his eyes, the Irishman scoffed. "Greater good?" He shook his head, eyebrow raised and a smirk on his lips. His eyes widened, and he glanced down at the other male with a shocked expression, before laughing once again. "Don't even try to attempt any accent ever again. That was the worst English accent I've ever heard." He brought a hand to his eyes, sighing dramatically. "That makes it sound as if you're going to deprive me of my innocence, you weirdo."

[bronwyn-greer]

I shouldn’t have to change all my habits because I’ve been kidnapped

[aedanmoriarty]

Well, I'm pretty sure we're in America. Basically everyone I've met so far is American, so.

[bronwyn-greer]

I am aware.  But I shouldn’t have to

[aedanmoriarty]

You can just not avoid t'em and accept t'em, I don't know.

[bronwyn-greer]

But you have a choice whether or not indulge in them.

[aedanmoriarty]

You can avoid GMOs.

I'm gonna show you around || Slaedan

[its-slade-finny-deactivated2014]

Slade shook his head in disbelief at the taller male as he patted his back. “You’re not even that much taller than me so no,” He spoke, giving Aedan another glare. “And I don’t mix with leprechauns.” He shook his head once more. The sun started to fall and their surroundings started to feel somewhat uncanny, and even though Slade felt completely easeful around the Irish man, he still felt strange. “Well all you gotta do is kidnap one, threaten to burn him in front of all his leprechaun friends and while you do that, someone steals the gold. Once again, it’s simple.” He laughed, before his voice fell in a soft chuckle. “Me? Serial killer? No I’m so much worse.” Slade finished abruptly, as he headed back to where he walked before.

[aedanmoriarty]

With a dramatic roll of his eyes, Aedan effortlessly leaned an elbow over the shorter's head. "Yes I am." He shot Slade the most innocent smile he could muster. "Leprechauns have great parties every Sunday, wit' tons of alcohol and a nice cleanin' committee ta' clean up after. Don't underestimate 'em." He shrugged nonchalantly, blatantly attempting to mask his smirk. As the day neared its end, Aedan shivered, not quite from the cool air; being outside in this unfamiliar town for too long made him much too nervous. "T'as horrible, do you have no morals whatsoever?" Aedan feigned a shocked expression, before it melted into a bright grin. "You, sir, are a genius." He chuckled, narrowing his eyes slightly. "Should I be scared?" The Irishman laughed.

[bronwyn-greer]

They’re illegally practically everywhere else.

[aedanmoriarty]

Drugs 're illegal too but they're still around.

[bronwyn-greer]

I seriously hope we aren’t in the United States.  I much prefer my food without GMOs.

[aedanmoriarty]

GMOs aren't exclusive ta' the United States.

Boredom → Wednesday & Aedan

[wednesday-waters]

As Aedan opened the door she noticed his eyes rake down her body and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. She gave him an innocent smile “Sorry to show up unexpected I was just thinking you might want company.” She looked down to her black off-brand converse, her nerves getting to her. As she looked back up to his eyes she noted how much taller he was then her. “That’d be lovely. It’s a little chilly out here anyways” She hugged herself feeling a small breeze come by. “If this is a bad time though I can go.” She spoke quicker than usual starting to feel unsure about showing up to his doorstep uninvited. Wednesday stayed quiet playing with the tips of her hair.

[aedanmoriarty]

Stepping aside with a warm smile, he chuckled. "T'as fine, come in. I wasn't doing anything important." Truthfully, he hadn't been doing anything at all, and was more than delighted to have company. His expertise in deduction wasn't needed to tell she was much too nervous and insecure, and he tenderly wrapped his arm around her waist to reassure her, leading her inside the flat. Aedan sat down on his sofa; "So, anythin' particular y' wanted ta' do? Or we can just chill, if y' wanna." His expression was open and genuine, the echoes of woe and sorrow temporarily muted.

[aedanmoriarty]

Boredom → Wednesday & Aedan

[wednesday-waters]

Wednesday sat on her couch in her apartment reading a random book she found on her counter the day she was kidnapped. She had already read it a few times, but it was the only thing to do around here besides socialize. As she finished reading the last page of the forbidden love story, she set the book on her living room table and pondered what she would do next. She thought about the idea of cooking until the thought of hanging out with Aedan popped up in her mind. She smiled to herself liking the idea and running to her closet to grab a jacket. After hastily applying her jacket to her cold body Wednesday took a glance in the mirror making sure she looked fine. After getting her own self approval she walked out of her apartment to take the walk to Aedan’s. His apartment was only a little ways from hers. She took her time enjoying the little walk while absorbing the scenery with her eyes. As she approached his door she knocked three times and waited becoming nervous.

[aedanmoriarty]

Aedan's movements were slow, languid; he wasn't tired - "Caffeine is a man's best friend." - but he simply lacked the will to move any faster. Nevertheless, he stood up, hand reflexively tangling itself in his tousled curls as he headed for the door. "Oh." He was somewhat taken aback as his gaze landed on Wednesday's small form. Aedan let his eyes travel over her frame, observing her with raised brows, before taking a minute step back. "Uh, 'ello." Immediately, he gave her a hesitant, cautious smile. "I wasn't expecting any company. Do y' wanna come in or..." He trailed off, tilting his head slightly.

[aedanmoriarty]

Boredom → Wednesday & Aedan

The apartment was silent, save for inaudible heaving of Aedan's steady breaths. His pale hues idly studied the ceiling, an arm dangling languidly from the side of his bed as he attempted to distract himself from his thoughts of woe woe woe; needless to say, it wasn't working too well. The more time passed, the more his strong demeanor began to crumble in front of his eyes, his anxiety beginning to make itself known again. "Emotions are a weakness." He murmured. His words were like a mantra, echoing in his mind/ Of course, he couldn't do much except retreat into his own personal mind palace, awaiting for anything that could be a distraction to make an appearance. 

[jamiewhy-deactivated20140228]

I’ve been to London, it’s a lovely place, I only went for a week though. Is it popular there? I thought it was a lot more popular over here. I’m Callum, it’s nice to meet you. Um — where are you from? Your accent is really nice but I can’t uh, pin point what it is.

[aedanmoriarty]

I love it t'ere, I 'ave a thing for crowded cities. T'ere are loads of bubble tea places spread around tha' city, and don't get me started on Soho. 'm Irish, and I personally find m' accent really annoying.

[its-slade-finny-deactivated2014]

I'm gonna show you around || Slaedan

[its-slade-finny-deactivated2014]

"I’m not short, thank you very much." Slade replied, almost immediately, as he glared at the Irish man. Those negative thoughts Slade once had, seemed to have vanished from his life completely as he spoke to his new found friend. He almost forgot that he was trapped in this place, with no communication. To be honest, Slade hadn’t felt this comfortable in a long time. "The point of having them is, you can steal their gold and be rich for the rest of your life. Simple." Slade said, laughing as he did so. He looked around and he could feel the evident eerie-ness of the place. "You can always come back to my place, it’s a lot less eerie."

[aedanmoriarty]

Aedan raised a dubious eyebrow, glancing down at him as to prove his point. A satisfied smirk curled his lips as the shorter glared at him; "Don't worry, I'm sure the leprechauns will accept you as one of them." He nodded at him, feigning an earnest expression as he patted Slade's back for effect. It was nice, talking to someone without fears or regrets; Aedan seemed to regret many things. "Y' make it sound easy, but 's not. Like, y' gotta distract 'em first, 'cause tha' shits ain't gonna let go of t'at pot of gold. Trust me, many 'ave tried, but nobody ever came back successful." The sigh that escaped him was overly-dramatic, and he failed to stifle a chuckle as he gazed at the other male. "Sure, I'd much rather follow a potential serial killer back ta' their place than wander around these streets a second longer."

[jamiewhy-deactivated20140228]

Oh, well then, that’s cool. Most people I’ve spoken to don’t even know what it is. I’m Callum. Hi. Hello.

[aedanmoriarty]

I only know what it is 'cause I tried it when I went ta' London and it's super popular t'ere or something. I'm Aedan, 'ello.

[jamiewhy-deactivated20140228]

Hipsters just like it to seem cool and edgy. Once everyone begins drinking them, hipsters will stop. 

[aedanmoriarty]

You're literally tha' first person I met who shares tha' same opinion as me on this.

[jamiewhy-deactivated20140228]

Finally, someone understands. It’s disgusting, I don’t understand the huge hype around it whatsoever.

[aedanmoriarty]

I think tha' only people who like Bubble Tea are hipsters. Whoever invented it needs ta' go to tha' corner of shame and stay t'ere for a good while.
