“  i  gotta  say  those  are  words  i  never  thought  someone  would  say  to  me,  ”  his  body  turning  to  glance  over  from  where  he  had  been  observing  all  of  details  of  the  day's  events.  the  level  of  detail  going  into  the  beginning  of  the  wedding  events  didn't  surprise  him,  not  really,  still  it  was  a  testament  to  how  the  rest  of  the  month  would  go.  “  i  feel  like  drinks  before  the  garden  will  make  the  garden  much  more  amusing  for  us  to  adventure  through  but  i'm  a  gambling  man.  left  hand.  but  if  you  hate  the  answer  i  am  not  taking  responsibility.  no  one  should  ever  let  me  make  the  decisions.  ”

[chromehart]

"i  live  to  surprise  people,"  evelina  jokes.  "why,  are  you  usually  trouble?"  there's  a  lot  happening  around  them.  she  hasn't  even  given  herself  the  chance  to  really  check  everything  out.  unsurprisingly,  everything  is  so  beautifully  immaculate.  she  can't  wait  to see what more is in store what  more  is  in  store.  "adventure,  you  say?  you  might  be  baiting  me  right  now."  she  laughs  lightly.  "you  know  what?  we'll  have  drinks  first  and  then  venture  through  the  gardens.  you'll  tell  me  all  about  your  previous  decisions.  sounds  like  you've  got  a  ton  of  stories  there."

[fairytop1as]

❝    i'll   be   your   saviour   -   but   you're   thinking   way   too   small.   ❞     brown   hues   access   the   other   as   she   considers   the   only   options   given.   there's   many   other   things   for   them   to   do   -   but   if   these   are   the   options   she   prefers,   well   -   blonde   wont   be   the   one   to   change   her.     ❝     why   choose   one   or   the   other,   when   it   can   be   both.   wouldn't   the   gardens   be   so   much   better   with   some   aperol   on   the   side   ?     ❞

[chromehart]

if  she  had  all  the  time  in  the  world today,  evelina  would  try out all the different activities  offered.  but  with  the  little  time,  she  had  to  narrow  down  her  options  greatly.  considering  it's  so  early  in  the  day,  she  wanted  to  start  slow.  still,  she'll  attempt  to  do  everything.  "i  like  the  way  you  think!  that's  even  better.  that'll  give  us  time  to  do  other  things  as  well.  i  need  some  pictures  by  the  gardens  too."  she  had  newly  gotten  this  dress  and  it'd  be  such  a  shame  not  to  take  pictures  of  herself  in  it.  "have  you  managed  to  do  anything  yet?"

[fairytop1as]

❝    good   thing   you   can   jump   in   the   ocean   and   burn   all   that   excess   energy,   isn't   it?     ❞    teases,   as   she   reaches   for   a   second,   already   carefully   planning   the   run   for   the   morning   after.   ❝    and   not   my   recipes,   no   -   but   things   i'll   be   trying   the   minute   we   get   home.   so   you   need   to   taste   the   real   thing   first.     ❞

[chromehart]

"ah.  so  that's  what  it's  all  about,"  asher  begins,  a  slight  pause  for  the  theatrics  of  it  all,  before  a  playfully  cheeky  grin  curves  up  his  lips.  "you  want  to  see  my  abs."  he  moves  to  take  a  bite  out  of  the  loukoumades,  letting  out  a  hum  of  satisfaction.  "those  are  really  good.  how  many  have  you  had  so  far?"  he  jokes.  "you're  right.  though,  we're  on  vacation.  stop  thinking  about  work."

[bew1tcheds]

part   between   brims   disappears   as   brunette   starts   talking   to   him,   swallows   the   air   so   lungs   can   prepare   for   whatever   is   coming.   removes   sunglasses   from   his   face,   pink   tongue   touching   temple   tips   as   hip   is   slightly   cocked   before   dragging   specs   away   again.   “   are   you   certain   you   want   those   two   options   as   your   final   two   ?   ”  doesn't   particularly   care   about   her   issue   but   full   lips   turn   upwards   with   question   marks   etched   into  his   sunkissed   flesh.   "   but   what   if   i   make   the   wrong   choice   ?   what   will   you   do   to   me   then   ?   "

[chromehart]

"yes,  i'm  certain.  i  studied  this  very  carefully.  though,  you  look  like  you  don't  like  them.  please  don't  hold  back."  evelina  places  her  hands  on  her  hips,  waiting  for  whatever  nicholas  wants  to  say.  she's  not  surprised  by  his  reaction,  still  she's  amused.  she  studies  his  features,  quirking  her  eye.  she  pretends  to  be  thinking  this  through.  "well,  i'll  punish  you  of  course,"  she  teases,  cheeky  glint  to  her  eyes.  "so  choose  wisely,  nicholas."

[vig0rs]

⋆.°    ᝰ.ᐟ     maxine is barely paying attention as her fingers work to twist her hair up into a perfectly loose yet put together up-do to secure with a claw clip.  so evelina’s sudden presence did surprise her a little.  “  honestly you’re so right though.  there’s so much to do,  it really is hard to pick one.  ”  lips twist up in thought at the two options the other woman presented.  “  so i think we should start off with exploring the gardens and then unwind with cocktails.  i don’t know how long it’s gonna take us to explore the gardens but we might be tired after that and that’s when we can reward ourself with cocktails  !  ”

[chromehart]

"and  there's  not  enough  time.  i  even  want  to  try  out  some  beach  activities,  but  i  think  it's  better  to  leave  those  for  the  end,  because  i'll  want  a  nice  nap  after."  evelina  can't  remember  the  last  time  she  had  a  proper  vacation,  and  she's  counting  this  wedding  as  that.  just  an  opportunity  to  unwind,  have  fun  with  people,  drink,  and  witness  love  right  before  her  eyes.  evelina  taps  a  freshly  manicured  nail  to  her  lips  in  contemplation.  "you've  got  a  point.  there's  a  ton  of  colorful  cocktails,  i  was  getting  distracted,  but  it'll  be  more  worth  it  if  we  do  it  afterwards.  besides,  the  weather  is  beautiful  for  a  walk."

"to  the  what?"  asher's  brows  furrow,  confusion  crossing  his  features.  for  a  moment,  he  believes  he's  being  trolled.  he  looks  over  at  the  sea  then  back  at  luiza,  taking  off  his  sunglasses.  "can't  say  i  have.  shit,  i  broke  the  first  rule  already.  what'll  happen  to  me  now?"  he  asks,  playful  and  amused  glint  to  his  eyes.  of  course,  he  doesn't  believe  any  of  that,  but  he'll  play  along.  maybe  it's  the  server  trolling  her  in  the  first  place.  "did  you  say  hello?  if  so,  you'll  have  to  put  a  good  word  in  all  things  considered."

"alright.  you're  going  to  be  my  savior  today,"  evelina  announces  to  the  first person  she sees,  a  bright  smile  on  the  brunette's  face.  she  loves  weddings  and  everything  that  comes  with  them.  to  say  she's  overwhelmed  would  be  an  understatement,  but  it's  in  the  best  possible  way.  there's  food,  there's  cocktails,  there's  different  kinds  of  activities.  she's  on  a  mission  to  try  everything,  or  at least attempt  to  try  everything.  "i  can't  decide  what  activity  to  do  first.  it  was  hard  enough  narrowing  down  to  two,  for  starters,  but  i  did  it.  is  it  exploring  the  gardens  or  preparing  cocktails?"  she  fists  both  her  hands,  placing  them  in  between  her  and  the  person  before  her,  playful  twinkle  to  her  eyes.  "pick  one  hand,  you'll  be  the  decider.  no  pressure!"

background.

born to a humble and loving family, evelina's life growing up was as normal as it could be. till it wasn't. the family had a tight relationship, with evelina and her brother elio growing up very close and protective over one another. where evelina was calmer, elio was more fiery. however, she still had a bubbly and jovial personality.

she grew up loving sports, partially influenced by her father, and tried out a bunch of different ones as a kid, enjoying tennis the most and starting to pursue it more seriously as of the age of ten till it became her chosen and inevitable career path. the siblings' parents were the epitome of support for both kids, making sure they got the practice they needed to achieve their dreams, and evelina worked her hardest to prove that it was all worth it, winning junior tennis competitions.

as her career began to flourish, evelina lost her parents, leaving her and elio to pick up the pieces. their parents were no longer around to protect them, so evelina took it upon herself to protect elio who had spiraled as a result of the loss. prioritizing both elio and her career demands, her own emotions and grief took the back seat, something she buried deep and never allowed herself the time and space to register.

with her debut in the olympics, wimbledon, and the different opens, she soon and eventually started securing golds and silvers. she pushed herself to her utmost potential, distracting herself with her demanding practice and career. and well, for the most part, it worked. as long as she didn't think too deeply about everything.

exes: one of them would be shortly after her parents passed away. while she didn't break up with the person right away, evelina unintentionally became distant. additionally, she put all her focus on her career and her brother, so she no longer gave her partner enough attention, leading to the break up.

gender & pronouns: cis man, he/him

faceclaim: lucien laviscount

height: 5'10" (178 cm)

orientation: bisexual biromantic

zodiac chart: sagittarius sun, gemini moon, capricorn rising

place of birth: new york city, new york

occupation: executive editor at the new york times

languages spoken: english, french, spanish

positive traits: confident, conversationalist, charming, persistent, brave

negative traits: closed-off, impulsive, restless, selfish, noncommittal

background.

the campbells are well known amongst their circle, a permanent fixture in politics over the generations. from the outside, asher's family seemed like the picture perfect family. his father made sure to portray a good image to the media and the people. he trained his family to follow suit. on the inside, the family was everything but. they lived a life of luxury; however, the family members couldn't be farther apart. malcolm campbell was a tough, strict man, who didn't take no for an answer and didn't accept anything less than perfect. his methods weren't healthy and he often bordered on control. noelle campbell was a demure and meek woman, who took the brunt of it to protect her son, up until asher was old enough to stand up to both himself and his mother.

asher didn't particularly care about school and grades, but he did okay, just not enough to appease his father. it was, in part, to spite malcolm. he had always felt closer to his mom, bonding with her over her love for writing and hoped that one day he would follow in her footsteps and become an author, too. as much as he had enjoyed it, he struggled committing, his own restlessness and low attention span not allowing him to focus on one idea at a time. he traveled around a lot over the past years. as much as he loves manhattan, he enjoyed the freedom that came with going somewhere else for a short period of time.

of course, it came as a disappointment when asher pursued a degree in journalism, following a master degree in communication, or when he prioritized trips and traveling over internships and job shadowing with him and went down a completely different route. slowly made his way up to becoming the executive editor at the new york times. till this day, their relationship isn't the most ideal. however, asher maintains some semblance of civility for his mother's sake above all else.
