Who is your personal hero?
my dad has always been and will always be my hero. i know it sounds like bullshit considering my actions but... let’s just say it’s complicated.

Levi’s embrace was tender, despite the roughness implied by his size. People tended to think of him as a heavy-handed bull in a china shop, but he had proven himself a hundred times over to be a gentle giant. They had managed to work out the difficulties associated with their height different ⏤ seven inches in all, without the aid of the heels Sydney detested wearing ⏤ and now moved to accommodate one another. Levi was in charge of things above her reach, like changing lightbulbs, while she tended to things closer to the ground, such as pulling weeds.
“Just under an hour,” she replied, squeezing him tighter. An innocent smile spread at the mention of a uniform police, and she looked up at him through her eyelashes. “I have no idea what you mean.” His hands shifted lower, following the curve of her back to rest in gray territory; any lower and it’d be inappropriate for a public place, for her to be entertaining while on the clock, but she didn’t move to correct him. “You can’t just come in here and tease me like this.” Her tongue wet her lips and she smiled up at him. “Will pie do? Let me finish up with this table and I’ll get you some.”
The last thing Sydney wanted to do was pull away from him. Unfortunately, work called to her, and she knew that if she held on any longer, Levi would keep her there for as long as humanly possible ⏤ and she’d let him, she always did. Smoothing her hands down his back, she lifted herself up on her toes to give him a quick peck before turning back to the table she had been in the middle of clearing. “Grab a seat at the counter,” she said, pointing to the row of empty chairs. “I’ll even bring you some milk.”
there weren’t many things levi enjoyed more than having sydney in his arms. he couldn’t put it into words but it just felt right. they fit in every way. most days he couldn’t figure out what he did to get so lucky. levi never questioned it though, it was fate, which was something he never believed in until he met her. sydney made him feel good and comfortable with sides of himself he’d kept hidden for years because of how he’d be viewed. he didn’t care about that anymore, not when he had a wonderful woman who loved him for who he was --- inside and out.
“ good, ” he replies “ already counting down the minutes. ” he gives her waist a small squeeze. being able to go home --- their home ---, make dinner together, and unpack made him happy. it made the start of their life and family feel that much more real, something that made his chest warm as if his heart was glowing. a throaty chuckle comes from him, her faux innocence never failed to entertain him. “ oh don’t worry, you’ll find out. ” he promises with a wink, fingers lightly rubbing at her back.
levi smirks, “ it’s not teasing when i fully intend on acting on it later babe. ” he quickly dips his head and gives her a quick kiss the moment she pecks his cheek --- he’s almost sure the spot is slightly blushed. he knew she had to finish work and the last thing he wanted to do was let go but, he had to. “ pie and milk are perfect ” he assures her as he lets her out of his embrace, it nearly pains him to do so. the only thing bigger than levi and his love for sydney was his appetite and a pre-dinner snack was the best way to occupy himself as his girlfriend finished her shift. he takes a seat at the diner, eyes roaming the place and taking everything in.

Pulling smoke into his lungs, Wyatt let it sit there for a few minutes. He was happy to sit on his bed and listen to the chaos ensue outside. He felt like he was have an out of body experience. Maybe it partially had to do with the join and partially with the blackout. He was annoyed that the TV was out, but it wasn’t like The Starlite had planned this. And even if they did, it put off the over taking of Skynet for a little while. The knock on the door almost made him jump out of bed. He was used to the angry yelling and stomping of feet, but the knock was unexpected. It wasn’t Emery, she would just enter his room without warning. Ethan or Fallon would have texted.
The booming voice made his jaw set. It was all too familiar. Putting out the joint, he ruffled his hair before crossing the room and opening the door. “Wyatt’s fine. Everything’s good in here. No need to worry.” His palms were sweaty unsure what would transpire between the two. He didn’t hate the human Shrek looking fucker, but he didn’t like how he had abandoned Emery. But it had been a few weeks since Thanksgiving. “Hello, Levi.”
when he started the job, levi hadn’t expected all the chaos that came with it. every day held something new, especially with jimmy gone. as he made his checks, he didn’t know what to expect when a door was opened. his jaw tightens when his eyes settle on the man on the other side of the door. levi knew he’d run into his sister’s best friend again, it was inevitable but he hadn’t realized he was next on his list. wyatt sutton. in the mayhem of their first meeting, levi had forgotten his name. he didn’t forget his face or the fight though. levi wasn’t perfect and he was well aware even if his pride kept him from admitting his fuck ups sooner rather than later. what happened with his family was between himself and his sister. in his eyes, wyatt should have minded his business instead of attacking him the way he did. levi wasn’t a violent person and he didn’t like to be but when he was provoked, all of his usual gentleness disappeared. he didn’t regret what he did to wyatt, the whole altercation could have been avoided. “ oh, it’s you. ” he says pointedly, his stance turning standoffish.
@wysutton
the moment the electricity went out, chaos erupted at the starlite. levi had done his best to keep the angered guests calm but wasn’t completely successful. it took over an hour and a lot of yelling from nadia but, things were calmer than before. no electricity but most guests left the front desk and wandered off to wait the power outage out. unlike the guests, he wasn’t going to complain. levi’d been through worse and this wasn’t the end of the world. regardless, he still had to work. he still had his patrols to do. instead of simply walking around though, levi took it on himself to check on the guests. going from door to door, he knocked and if anyone was inside he made sure they were okay before moving on to the next room. for the most part, everyone was fine with the exception of their annoyance with the situation. he moves on from room 111 to room 112, checking his clipboard or the name of the person inside --- wyatt sutton. levi lifts his hand and gives the door a few raps. “ mr. sutton, it’s security. just checking in to make sure everything’s okay in there. ”
it’d been almost a week and a half since his arrival in las vegas and to say it was eventful would have been a gross understatement. it was a bit awkward seeing those who witnessed his fight with wyatt in the middle of what supposed to be a nice dinner. levi quickly got over it though. he seemed to fall into an easy stride while on the job. it wasn’t as dangerous as the oil rigs but he supposed that was better. he needed to settle into a routine and get used to his life now before he felt comfortable.
levi had some time to spare following his lunch break and wandered over to the gift shop, bonanza. his new apartment was still bare and he thought maybe he could pick up some kind of decoration, even a funny t-shirt he knew would make his pregnant girlfriend laugh. his leather boots make heavy footfalls as he browses the aisles, stopping at the wall of shirts. levi’s eyes roam over those on display, touristy ones, funny ones, crude ones, and christmas ones. as he looks at the christmas themed shirts, he can’t help but laugh at the only one he considers funny. “ look’it this shit, ” he says motioning to the shirt. “ finally somethin’ funny. ”

The day had not been without its share of ordeals, but Sydney knew it was only a matter of time ⏤ fifty-two minutes, to be exact, but who was counting? ⏤ until she could clock out and head home. She was looking forward to getting more work done around the house, unpacking boxes and hanging up pictures, after she and Levi cooked dinner together. Things were coming along slowly, at a pace they could handle between their own work obligations, but the list of tasks yet to be completed only seemed to grow with each passing day.
Sydney had just finished up with a table and was clearing plates when the bell over the door chimed to signal the entrance of a new guest. She glanced up from the stack of plates she’d collected to see Levi strolling into the diner and stopping to speak with one of the patrons seated at the counter. It didn’t matter how long they had been together, she knew she would never tire of the warm flutter she felt in her chest every time she made eye contact with him across a room. It reminded her of their repeat reunions, when he would return to Baton Rouge after months out in the middle of the Gulf and walk into her bar, the same sly grin plastered on his face.
Leaving the plates and glasses on her serving tray, she crossed the floor to meet him halfway, her arms immediately closing around his waist. It was still odd to see him dressed in the security uniform, a far cry from his usual dress, but she liked the way he looked in it and hadn’t been shy in telling him so. “Are you all done for the day?” she asked, craning her neck to look up at him. "Are you hungry? I can get you something from the kitchen to tide you over until my shift’s over.”
most men used their jobs as an escape from their girlfriend or wife. he’d seen it all the time on the rig but levi never felt he needed anything like that when it came to sydney. she brought out the best him. other girls he’d been with, no matter how brief, expected levi to be a certain kind of man due to his stature. they were attracted to him thinking he was a typical alpha male, it was something he often felt the need to play into. since dating sydney, levi had been able to be himself. he could talk to her. he could let his guard down. he didn’t have to be what everyone else expected of him. it was the first real, adult relationship he’d had and he couldn’t picture being with anyone else.
the beginning of their relationship wasn’t easy, not when he’d have to leave every time they made a step forward. unlike most relationships though, they didn’t fall apart. he came back to her and they’d pick up right where they left off. walking up to her in the diner gave him the same feelings he’d always gotten when he’d step into the bar, ready to greet her. coming back to her felt like coming home. levi wraps his arms around her, large limbs easily encircling her small body. he bends his neck to press a kiss to the top of her head, then another to her temple.
he nods his head, “ all done, how long ’til you clock out? ” he questions, head tilted and gaze fixated down at her. “ and what’s the policy on the uniform? ” he teases, devious grin easily appearing on his lips. the rest of the diner dissolved into the background as if it was just the both of them only. levi could get used to this every day. “ what i want isn’t exactly on the menu, ” he says suggestively, hands rested on the small of her back. “ but i’ll take something from the kitchen in the meantime. ”
@sydncypark
without sydney park, levi wouldn’t be where he was now. there was no doubt about that in his mind. the night he wound up at the bar she worked at seemed like he’d come to a crossroads and happened to choose the path that led to her. another shitty relationship --- if you could even call them relationships --- down the drain. when he happened to find her being harassed, his instincts took over. he pretended to be her boyfriend that night and the rest was history.
the moment he saw her it was as if something in him felt as if he’d come home after a long, hard day. the more he got to know her, he wanted more than a some brief physical connection with someone who’d forget about him the moment he left town. whenever he had to leave her to return to the gulf, she was all that occupied his mind until he returned. she was his first thought in the morning and his last before drifting off to sleep.
this past year had been hard on levi. he lost two close friends.he could have lost his own life. he had to deal with the aftermath of it all. if he hadn’t had sydney there with him every step of the way, levi wasn’t sure where he’d be right now. because of her and their baby, he was finally making moves to fix the relationships he’d ruined the night he left home.
coming back to nevada was a huge step for levi. it was a step towards reconciliation with his sister. it was a step towards facing his fears and being with his father, finally accepting that he wouldn’t be the man he remembered again. he couldn’t start his own family without reconciling with the one he left behind. levi wouldn’t have gotten there without sydney supporting him.
starting over in a new place from scratch wasn’t going to be simple but, levi thought they’d been adjusting well. they bought their first house and planned to turn it into a home together. he’d gotten a job thanks to his sister, a step in the right direction. his girlfriend started working at the diner owned by the motel where he worked. things were going well.
levi steps into the diner, eyes scanning the place. he smiles seeing the christmas decorations he helped her get out of storage starting to make their appearance. his shift was over and he could have gone home but he chose to come to the shooting star grille to pass time until sydney’s shift was done. it made sharing a car easier when they went home at the same time.
he leans against the counter, stopping to talk to one of the patrons. “ i’m lookin’ for a waitress, about this tall, ” he says holding his hand up to below his chest. “ dark brown hair, the cutest little thing you’ll ever see. ” a grin appears when he sees her spot him. he nods in her direction making the man he’d been talking to look as well. “ found her. ”
Do you have any embarrassing childhood stories about your sister?
alright, i’ll bite even though emery’s gonna kill me. the summer before first grade i think... i was six and emery was four, that’s all you need to know. our mom took us to jc penny or sears. it was one of those big department stores. she wanted to get some new jeans for me for school. emery got bored and 'm guessing didn't like the attention not being on her.. she disappears, right? my mom’s fucking panicking and yelling her name. no answer. so, she reports it to security and i’m honestly not even worried, just sitting in the dressing rooms in these jeans i was trying on and playing my gameboy. they shut down the store and had EVERYONE i mean security, other employees, even other PARENTS looking for her. musta been about 10 minutes --- and i’m assuming she got bored of hiding --- when suddenly she fucking runs out of one of the circular racks of clothes and had stripped off her own dress and was running down the big middle aisle of the kid’s section yelling YOU CANT FIND ME. i almost became an only child that day.

you're a joker.
and you’re the other joker in the deck, buddy.
If you could be any card in a deck, which would you be and why?
an ace i guess? no real reason besides it being the best one in the deck.
let's talk baby names, sugar. top 3 male/female
haven’t really thought about it too much since it’s still pretty early on and some people say planning too far ahead is a jinx, don’t wanna risk it y’know? everything’s been going so well.... but i like the name ella a lot for a little girl. samuel or samantha would be nice as a tribute to my dad... you know what? wilder would be fun. wilder weston? don’t think you can get wilder than emery though.
