Zimmerman: Magnus

[borninanightmare-blog]

;; people of tumblr, I am back! I didn’t mean to disappear again but life is currently both exhausting and hectic, and I've literally had no time for tumblr as of late.

A couple of things: I’m leaving my job as a History teacher and starting a new job in a different school working with much younger children (aged 3-7) coaching sports. My last day as a History teacher (for the foreseeable future, at least) is next Friday - I then have a week off before beginning my new job on 20th February. I’m also in the process of moving back in with my parents for a little while bc my boyfriend (soon to be ex idk it’s complicated) is moving to China to teach English.

SO as you can imagine life at the moment is incredibly busy and I’ve got a ton of things I need to do before next Friday. That being said I’m totally going to be around this weekend! I’m going to be catching up on things and stuff. Normal activity will resume somewhat shortly (as in, maybe a couple of weeks) but until then it’s going to be spotty and/or non-existent.

But I’ll be back fully soon! Most definitely. <3

I got everything I need right here with me.

He’s smiling the BROADEST of smiles and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to hide it, and so he doesn’t. No – he let’s the smile overwhelming his features to shine freely, though Magnus can’t resist poking a tiny bit of fun at her. “ I don’t know if you noticed but you’re doing that being all soppy thing again. ”

;; really emotionally tolling day tbh but hey, the world is still turning so all is well!

i’m going to try do a few things before i crash for the night, but like this for a little thing?

;; so here's the deal. Life is super chaotic and hectic at the moment, with touches of sad and meh-ness but!!! All is well, or at least it will be. I've tried to sit and do replies tonight but my muse is just non existent presently (I think because I'm still really tired, plus other things going on) so I really do apologise for my lack of activity lately! That being said, I will force replies tomorrow after work 100%! I'd force them now but it's getting on for 12:30am and I've got to be up at 5:30am, so they'll have to wait until tomorrow. In the meantime! Please feel free to send asks (ic and ooc, just bc) and/or throw starters at us if you so wish. I've missed being here and I wish I could've done things tonight, but my muse didn't allow for it unfortunately. Goodnight and sweet dreams!

“Why don’t you just understand that I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT?!” It breaks out of her, before she can stop herself and remember that she is yelling at the completely wrong person, but he has been asking her for days now and Clarke’s patience has worn thing. If she ever had any to begin with. She looks down at the floor, hands trembling from a mixture of anger, anxiety and terror, because there is no way she can put into words why she has been so off. It will break his heart and so she has decided that it is her burden to bear. “I’m sorry, I…I didn’t mean to. It’s just…I can’t talk about it, okay? Not now. Not ever. That has nothing to do with you.”

He’s immediately taken back by her outburst and he has to fight against every fibre of his being which is trying to force him into soldier mode; to shut down completely and become hard faced whilst she’s acting this way. That, however, would be beneficial for no one -- so as much as his instinct tells him to fall into soldier mode, he doesn’t. He wants to help, NEEDS to, because she’s his purpose in life. “ But why can’t you talk about it, Clarke? Why? We’re MARRIED. That’s got to mean something. ”

TITANIC (1997) QUOTES

I love you, ____

Don’t you do that, don’t say your good-byes. Not yet, do you understand me? 

I got everything I need right here with me. 

I love waking up in the morning not knowing what’s gonna happen or, who I’m gonna meet, where I’m gonna wind up. 

You learn to take life as it comes at you… to make each day count.

Stay back! Don’t come any closer!

Come on, just give me your hand. I’ll pull you back over.

Do you love him?

Well, you’re being very rude. You shouldn’t be asking me this.

Well, it’s a simple question. Do you love the guy or not?

Why can’t you just answer the question?

You are so annoying.

I’m the king of the world!

This is where we first met.

I changed my mind.

Do you trust me?

Goodbye! I’m gonna never forget you!

You’re a good liar.

What I was thinking was, what could’ve happened to this girl to make her think she had no way out?

No, no, that’s not what I was thinking.

Well, I believe you may get your headlines, ____

You’re so stupid. Why did you do that, huh? You’re so stupid, ____

Oh God! I couldn’t go. I couldn’t go, _____

It’s not up to you to save me, ____.

 You’re a spoiled little brat, even, but under that, you’re the most amazingly, astounding, wonderful girl, woman that I’ve ever known…

Music to drown by. Now I know I’m in first class.

I know. It doesn’t make any sense. That’s why I trust it.

You unimaginable bastard!

Oh stop it, mother. You’ll give yourself a nose bleed.

So, you wanna go to a real party?

How did you find out I didn’t do it?

Well, you’re about to fall into the snake pit… what are you planning to wear?

You shine up like a new penny.

I will never forget you.

You want to walk a little faster through that valley there?

“That sounds acceptable. Do you feel better now? Because I have to go and pick up the little two teethed monster we call daughter. Maybe we could take her out for a little? A bit of fresh air might do all of us some good”, Clarke remarks and leans down again to kiss his forehead, before gently nudging him off her lap.

“ Now? I was fine all along. ” He gleams a smile in Clarke’s direction before getting up, offering his hand out to help her rise too. “ A walk sounds doable. Just the three of us. Though whilst we’re on the subject of her teeth...keep your fingers away from her mouth now. I learned that the HARD way yesterday. ”

          He’s clever, she supposes, and while she’s got half a mind to be annoyed with him she’s more than aware that most people aren’t comfortable here. “With all due respect, an intern would be qualified to do this, but since you insist ––-” Lisa pulls her ID card out of her pocket with a half-smile. Dr. Lisa Cuddy, M.D., Dean of Medicine. “Do my qualifications meet your approval?”

Damn. The actual Dean of Medicine. He perhaps should feel defeated, but he’s Magnus Zimmerman, and he doesn’t give up quite so easily. Though his tone this time is much less brash, he does pull one more card from his sleeve. “ Since you’re the Dean, I’m pretty certain you’ve got much bigger fish to be frying rather than cleaning up the cuts of some young tearaway, right? ”

“Why would I apologize for that? We didn’t know each other back then, but looking back at the last 7 years, I can clearly say you deserved it”, she teases and grins down at him, glad to see a smile spreading across his features. His face is always the prettiest when he smiles and the dimples let his face look young and boyish. “Yeah, that’s definitely not how this works, but E for effort in this case. I love you, wally.”

“ I deserved it? Wow Clarkey, you really do know how to make a guy feel loved. ” His teasing is accompanied by a small wink as he sits up to kiss Clarke lightly. “ Fine, I’ll do it your way and be nice -- regardless of whether I end up liking her or not. I’ll talk to her tomorrow. Does that sound agreeable to you? ”

           “The PARAMEDICS would beg to differ, based on the fact that you’re in my E.R.. Now how about you let me get those CUTS cleaned up? I promise it’ll be quick.”

“ Your E.R? Right, show me exactly where your name is proving ownership of this place and then I might just consider sitting still long enough for you to take a closer look. ”

“Oh well”, Clarke remarks and shrugs slightly. “We had a rough start as well. Remember? I threw a snowball in your face and gave you a black eye, because there were stones in it. Sometimes a black eye is the best start to a long friendship.” She chuckles slightly and leans down to kiss his forehead. “Maybe it meant something to your PARENTS, but that is not a legacy you have to keep. Just take it slow, give her a chance, get to know her and either you’ll like her then, or you won’t.”

Magnus does nothing to stop the smile from breaking free as he mentally recalls their first real encounter. “ I’m not sure you ever did apologise for that black eye. Never too late, you know. ” He teases, nose wrinkling at the kiss to his forehead as his smile softens. “ Fine, she gets a chance. And if I don’t like her, I get to throw her over the wall and feed her to the creatures...that’s how it works, right? ”

She’s HIDING from him, she has been for weeks now. The problem is that hiding from each other doesn’t work -- it’s never worked -- because they know one another too damn WELL. He’s allowed Clarke her space in not talking about whatever it is for a while -- but he can’t leave it any longer. REFUSES to ignore it now. Something’s not right and, though he might commend her efforts in trying to disguise it, Magnus knows this isn’t going away. “ Clarkey-- ” An old yet familiar nickname, spoken with the softest of voices to remind her that it’s HIM in her company, her HUSBAND, and that she doesn’t have to hide from him. “ --there’s definitely something. Since when did we have secrets? ”

“I think you are putting too much pressure on yourself. You feel like you HAVE to like her, so you are not giving her an objective chance. But you don’t. Just because your parents were close with her and you are named after her doesn’t mean a thing. But I think you should give her a chance to get to know you. Then decide what you make of her”, she tells him softly, gentle fingertips rubbing circles onto his scalp.

He softly hums at the actions of her fingers and Magnus allows his eyes to close briefly. “ No, being named after her does mean something. It’s important. Symbolic. She meant a lot to them, obviously. ” Opening his eyes again, he looks up to Clarke with a frown. “ I almost shot her, you know. Pulled my gun out on her without a single hesitation when we first met. Not exactly the greatest of starts. ”
