You ever have that one rp partner

and you two try and try to have nice things but you’re both so full of angsty plots that it’s just impossible and that is why you can’t ever have nice things? Yeah I have one of those too.

[ Henry ] ⁇

Send in ⁇ for my muse’s reaction to walking in on yours while bathing

Honestly she’d thought that Henry had gone home, or at least with Max somewhere so when she saw Ivy in the kitchen she didn’t bother knocking on the bathroom door before walking inside. Sometimes the door blew closed when the window was open that was all it was. But instead she was met with Henry standing on the other side of a shower curtain. “Oh-I’m sorry. I didn’t realize… I’m sorry.” Turning around she collided with the door before stumbling back a step with her hand on her head. “Ow.”

Henry was honestly surprised that Ivy had allowed him to stay despite the current situation they were in, the male deciding to take a shower to relax and clear his head. He’d just about gotten finished when the door opened and his eyes widened before he witnessed her run smack into the bathroom door. Instincts kicked in as Henry jumped from the tub and quickly wrapped a towel around his waist while she was turned away from him; hand on her back to steady her. “Are you okay? That was-- do you normally just walk in on people showering?”

(Ivy to Henry) “If you didn’t want her to slap you, you shouldn’t’ve been an idiot.”

“Hindsight is 20/20.” Henry grumbled, rolling his eyes as he sat down and ran a hand through his hair. “In my defense? Didn’t know she was here.” He had hoped she wouldn’t be. He was only stopping for a second or two, just long enough to let Ivy know what he was doing; but it turned into something more than that when Luna opened the door. “—And she would have slapped me either way.”

Hurt/wounded sentence starters

[theshootingarrow]

“Listen.. listen t'me… I’m so proud of you…”

“The world’s not as bad as you think it is.”

“Call it a metalcut. Like a papercut, but bigger and more lethal.”

“It hurts.”

“Call an ambulance!”

“Help me.”

“Are you all right?”

“No, stay with me. Stay awake.”

“Wake up!”

“We need to get out of here.”

“Forget it.”

“I can patch you up. You’ll be fine.”

“Stop complaining!”

“Who did this to you?”

“What are you doing in a hospital– why are you bleeding?”

“It’s just a flesh wound.”

“What do you mean, you’re okay?”

“Put it down.”

“How did this one happen, exactly?”

“If you didn’t want her to slap you, you shouldn’t’ve been an idiot.”

“Are you serious right now?”

“Do you remember me?”

“Do I know you?”

“How are you feeling?”

“Don’t speak. Just.. look at me.”

“Keep your eyes open.”

“Look at me.”

“It’s allowed to hurt.”

“I can’t do this!”

“Just let it happen.”

“I don’t care. If it will save you, I’ll do it.”

“I’d do ANYTHING to keep you alive so don’t for a second tell me to not worry.”

“You’re meant to be stronger than this.”

“Pull something out that will fix this. You always have something.”

“I’m not actually a doctor.”

“IS THERE A DOCTOR ON THE TRAIN?”

“Stop moving.”

“Shut up for once, would you?”

[ Max ] “I need your help, Luna! I can’t— Henry’s missing and I’m not strong enough to track him on my own. I know you hate him but... please, Lu.. He’s my brother. I can’t lose him”

“What do you mean he’s missing?” Luna couldn’t process everything that Max was saying when she was so focused on that one sentence. How could Henry be missing in the town they all grew up in? He new every corner of the place. “Max sweetheart calm down. Why do you think he’s missing? He was just here the other day and seemed fine, do you think he maybe went home?” Because from what she could see, this wasn’t his home anymore. “I’ll help you know i will. I just need to get Ivy. Someone has to keep an eye on Charlie.”

[detxntionsfiincst]

He was sure he’d start hyperventilating right then and there, every piece of his frame rigid and shaky as he stood in place and fought the urge to pace a hole into the floor before her. Nothing made sense, but 72 hours with no word? After that voicemail? Maxwell wasn’t sure what to think. “Calm down? You didn’t... he’s not fine, Luna. He’s been drinking and—“ he cut himself off then, unable to finish the statement before he was shaking his head and pulling his phone out to play the last voicemail he received. The sound of glasses in the background, terrible music, and one familiar voice filled the room then. ‘I love you, Maxwell... And I’m sorry—‘ then it was over. Chewing at his lip, Max looked back up at Luna. “He’s not there. I had Jace check in and he’s nowhere to be found.” He paused, managing a small smile and a nod. “Thank you, Lu..”

“Just the redhead I was looking for–” Maxwell spoke quickly, carefully grabbing at Ivy’s wrist to pull her off to the side so he could talk to her privately. Clearing his throat then, the male decided it was best to continue. “Henry’s not doing as well as he tells everyone, and I can tell that he’s… Something’s not right, and I need your help figuring it out.”

[bewarelittlered]

“What?” Ivy stumbled slightly as Max pulled her and she couldn’t help the way she instinctively pulled at her wrist until she realized who was in front of her. “Max.” A smile took over her features as she looked up at him but it faded as he spoke. “What do you mean he’s not doing well? Are you talking about the Luna thing? Because there’s no need to ask for help that’s obvious. Is something going on?” The redhead took a step closer to him concern clear on her features. “Mat’s what’s wrong with Henry? He didn’t say anything the last time he spoke to me.”

[detxntionsfiincst]

A shaky breath tumbled from his lips at her questions, the male running a hand over his face as he tried to keep his composure. Whatever was going on with Henry really did put a number on his mental stability, mainly because he had this sinking feeling in his gut that something bad was about to happen. “I don’t— that’s what I’m saying, Ivy.. I don’t know what’s going on. I—I searched his suitcase. Found prescriptions I didn’t know he needed. When I went to pick him up for our flight he... his apartment is a disaster, and I know he’s pretending that being home isn’t killing him. He’s a different person entirely, and I don’t know what to do.” There was a time when Luna had been the anchor he knew his brother needed, but without her it seemed that everything had changed; and not for the better.

“Yeah, he… We just landed an hour ago.” He was looking out the window again then, swallowing the lump in his throat as he stood there wondering why he wasn’t already in the car. He gave a nod in acknowledgement to her request though it took him a moment to speak again. He couldn’t help but to think that Maxwell should have come in his place, but he was still stuck there; boots glued to the floor. “I’m mentioning it because its what my mother wanted… And I already told you that wasn’t true, so don’t go there.” His head popped up almost instantly at what she said next, unable to hide the twisted expression on his face. “I– yeah, sure. No doubt she’ll be sending Max back to tell you it’s fine to bring a kid, but– I’ll tell her.” There were so many things he probably should have told her, but he sure as Hell wasn’t gonna do that now.

“He didn’t want to come in?” It would have been nice to have someone standing across from her that hadn’t ripped her heart out, but clearly that wasn’t the case. If Max was standing in front of her things wouldn’t be so bad but instead she’d thrown out the things that Henry had said to her before leaving. The words that played over in her head whenever she found something of his hiding in her apartment, like Ivy was sneaking things in just to try and get Luna to call him. Sometimes it really wasn’t fair having a younger sibling that looked up to Henry the way that Ivy did. “You still said it.” She brushed her hands over her front before walking back to the counter, wanting to keep it between the two of them. “A five month old isn’t the best dinner guest. Really maybe another time.”

[detxntionsfiincst]

“I don’t know, he was on the phone with some girl when I got out of the car.” He sighed softly, shrugging a bit as he shifted his weight uncomfortably. How could he just stand there and act like he hadn’t thrown his entire life away by leaving her; by saying those three words that he’d never be able to take back no matter how much he wanted to. Instead, he now found solace in the drinking and the drugs because they seemed to be the only thing that kept her off of his mind. Maxwell tried his best to be a good brother and he was, so much so that Henry dare not share his secret.. he wouldn’t be able to stand to see the look on the man’s face. No, that would have been the last straw. “Yeah and I wish I could take it back... I can’t, so why bring it up?” He flinched, nodding and falling silent when she mentioned her child once more. After a moment he took a calming breath and placed a hand on the door. “I’ll tell her to call you..”
