continued from here for @elegiacethan​

He was a ghost of what he used to be. That’s what Naima has gathered in all this time coming with Ethan to visit his father. She comes for support and because she wants to get to know the man that has so heavily influenced the man she’s come to care for over time. When they leave and it’s just the two of them in a desolate hallway, Naima, cups his face gingerly as he presses his forehead against hers. Listening intently, eyes fixated on Ethans, she massages the apple of his cheeks with her thumbs, grazing his tears away and letting her own fall. “I know. You’re so strong for him. It’s okay to break. You don’t have to be strong for me. Let me help you carry this.” She offers him a small smile and searches his gaze for comprehension. “We’ll get through this. Together.” 

Her words warmed his soul, he felt so lost and his entire body ached. He didn’t understand why life was like this. Why would it be so magical, spoken of any how, just to end like the way his father was. It was a slow, agonizing end, but thankfully it wasn’t for his father, but the people around him. She was so willing and open and she deserved it to be reciprocated ten fold. He nodded his head and looked at her. “Thank you so much” He said before pressing his lips to her forehead. “Thank you so much for being here for me” He could feel the weight of his chest subsiding.

[ touch ] for your muse to rest their forehead against mine’s naima and ethan

“I’m sorry” Ethan said, swallowing so hard as if he could swallow back his tears. His eyes burn so bad from trying to hold them in. “I just hate seeing him like this” He said softly. It literally ate him alive. Kept him up at night. He couldn’t fathom a life without his father, but how much longer would he have to suffer like this? Was that really even his father anymore? He questioned. He leaned forward, head in his hands, trying his best to keep himself together. He felt her hands on over his, he looked up slowly, matching his eyes to her. He just sighed again, resting his forhead to Naima’s. Feeling a little comfort in her being with him.

elegiacethan‌: ethan & rose 

She had been visiting her father as well and well, the old man as always, had nothing positive to say. Not even about her engagement. Even with all the gross things happening in Amiens, she managed to find love and happiness and she would finally be with the father of their son. They were going to be happy and she wasn’t going to let her dad get in the way of that. 

When she spotted Ethan, she decided to join him, sitting beside him and shaking her head at his remark. “I’m not here to judge.” She sighed and looked over to him sadly. “You’re a boy boy, Ethan. I won’t stop you. You okay though? Talk to me.” 

Ethan was kind of relieved to see Rose, even though he took the time for himself. He made ample room for her as she sat on the bench. He continued to smoke, turning his head to not blow in her face. “My dad.. he just knows things” Ethan said slowly. He didn’t want to sound crazy, he knew that he did a lot when he was younger. “Him and my grandfather. They just reached this age and then world just opened up to them in a way I don’t understand. He knows things before they happen or he knows things when he has no connection to the outside word. He can barley fucking see, but he sees everything”

labelletragedies‌:

elegiacethan‌: ethan & joelle

His words stung and her father would always tell her that the guilt she felt meant she wasn’t fully tainted. There was still a part of Joelle that regretted her decisions but it wasn’t enough to hold back completely. She was a legacy kid and as much as she hated that Ethan never got that, it was best for the two of them that they weren’t mixed up together anymore. Did it hurt? Absolutely. But she wouldn’t have it any other way.  Sometimes she wondered if the same eyes that held so much love for her see her with hatred or even fear. How did she become this person?

At his words, she looked up at him, trying to crack through that forced visage but finding it impossible. God, how much they have changed. “I will. You too. We should…we should catch up sometime.” That’s what normal people said, right? Formalities and such? “How’s your dad?”

Ethan was never really the best at small talk. He always said what he wanted to, but made sure his words always had a purpose. He also wasn’t a man of many words, but that was just how he was raised. So when she kept talking, he was a little surprised, apprehensive. He looked away from her, surprised she even asked about his father. “He’s fine” He lied. Not even wanting to dive into that topic or wanting to open up. He hated this feeling, wanting to just pick up into the swing of things. Wanting to avoid the awkwardness, fast forward through it. His heart felt like it was being ripped out of his chest. He refused to ask about her father, Ethan really blaming him for their demise. He was just so into his head. He cleared his throat. “I have to go” He lied again, just doing what he always did. Running.

elegiacethan‌: ethan & naima 

she chuckled at his words, finding it easier and easier to keep a conversation and enjoying every minute she got to spend with. Naima couldn’t even believe he had accepted to be her date for the night. She understood how this wasn’t everyone’s vibe. Hell, it wasn’t hers. But the idea of getting to dress up and pulling Ethan away from his apartment for a few hours was too enticing to give up. And as she watches him let loose a little, she knows it was all worth it. “Of course there’s a catch.” She smirked and bit her bottom lip. “All part of the plan.” 

Was she nervous? Absolutely. Naima was always so focused on her work that this seemed so foreign to her. Did she even know how to flirt? Was he reciprocal? What if she couldn’t figure that out? What if he isn’t interested at all? Her mind was spinning but her smile remained. And before she could even regain any sort of control, he was already extending his hand toward her and she placed her drink on the bartop. “Why, thank you, kind sir. Allow me to show off my date for the night?” She took his hand and pulled him gently toward her and onto the dance floor. She reached for the top of his shoulders, settling her arms there, her gaze flickering up to his. “I feel like you’d never be bad at this anyway…” 

When Ethan first offered to dance with Naima, he was confident and ready. As her body encrouched closer to him, he literally felt himself calm up. Feeling all that confidence pull back into a weird shell. When she reached for the top of his shoulders, he was holding his breath. Coaching himself through putting his arms around her waist. Her skin was so soft, she looked like she was glowing, she was so beautiful. He realized how close they were and that they had never been here before. It was making him so nervous. 

But, when he met eyes with her, he instantly cracked into a smile. That was what he liked, how she had that effect on him. She warmed him up and made him feel normal. “I’m a little rusty” He said, trying to hold back a chuckle. “Just be careful of your toes” He looked down at her, really getting a view of her face. He swallowed hard. “You’re really beautiful, Naima” He said before looking away.

GRAYSON & ETHAN :

grayson nodded with a mumbled thanks as he took the cigarette and lighter, handing the lighter back as he took a drag and let it out with a sigh.  it was his one saving grace in prison, making fucking cigarettes.  the thought made one side of his lips curl upwards, hidden as he took another drag.  “thanks.  grayson,” he said as he extended a hand for the man to shake.  

Ethan shook Grayson’s hand firmly. “Nice to meet you” He said as he continued to smoke. “Wanna sit?”

❝ What’s worse, looking jealous or crazy? ❞

“Crazy” Ethan said without a doubt. “Jealousy is normal, it’s a primal feeling. It sort of has it’s own balance, comes with the territory, it can be controlled. But crazy..” He shook his head. “There are no limits, no bounds, it has no origin and no solution.” 

[elegiacethan]

❝ When you’re ready, come find me, my heart is open. ❞ from Naima

Ethan felt like he couldn’t breathe, the words coming from her lips taking a blow to his ribs. This was a wall he had come to many times in his life, Ethan running when he felt like he was too close to someone. He didn’t know why he was so caged in, so isolating, so afraid. Naima was amazing. One of the first woman he meant in awhile that made him feel not so cold, she brought so much color to his life, but he could still feel the apprehension. He didn’t know why he wasn’t ready, what was really holding him back. He remembered being so invested into Joelle and look how they turned out? They barley knew what to say to one another. He reached out to her, grabbing her wrist lightly. “Please” He said as he looked her in the eyes. “Please, just be patient with me” He almost pleaded. He knew he was a piece of work, that he was hard to break down, but he was trying. “Please don’t go, just be patient with me.”

💔     HEART     ACHE     SENTENCE     PROMPTS    !  

❝ You are a victim of your own broken heart. ❞

❝ You’re breaking my heart.  ❞

❝ The heart is just a muscle, isn’t that right? ❞

❝ You’ve left a void in me that cannot be filled. ❞

❝ Time does not heal a broken heart as they say. ❞

❝ How do you cope when the love is with somebody else? ❞

❝ Well, you can’t have heartbreak without love. ❞

❝ Love is supposed to heal, to be your haven from misery. ❞

❝ My heart no longer felt as if it belonged to me. ❞

❝ There is an ocean of silence between us… and I am drowning in it. ❞

❝ Raw love, like raw heartache, could blindside you. ❞

❝ I was born the day you kissed me, died the day you left me.  ❞

❝ I’ve fallen victim to love once in my life, it was enough for me.  ❞

❝ I think perhaps I will always hold a candle for you – even until it burns my hand. ❞

❝ I would have followed you to hell and back… if only you’d lead me back.  ❞

❝ I had fallen but you were not there to catch me.  ❞

❝ This pain has not passed, this pain, I’m afraid, it will never pass. ❞

❝ A broken heart can be as lethal as a bullet to the brain. ❞

❝ As if you gave your heart to autumn, for what it destroys never blossoms again. ❞

❝ A single heartbreak teaches you more than what a lifetime of schooling can. ❞

❝ You taught me how to live with you, now tell me how to live without you… ❞

❝ You hurt me and yet I cannot stay away, I am miserable either way. ❞

❝ Do you know why he did what he did to you? Because he could. ❞

❝ I have been bitter since the day you broke my heart. ❞

❝ Today is just another day of trying to get by without you. ❞

❝ An entire world of people can never replace the one that I’ve lost. ❞

❝ I cannot carry on with my future when I am stuck in my past. ❞

❝ Many things we die but this love I have for you will not. ❞

❝ I could never love another as I do you, even if I wanted to. ❞

❝ This heart break will be the death of me. ❞

❝ I still fight and I don’t know why. ❞

❝ If our love is tragedy then are you my remedy? ❞

❝ When you’re ready, come find me, my heart is open. ❞

❝ Love is both, the strongest and the weakest thing you can have in life. ❞

❝ Black misery painted on a blood red heart. ❞

❝ You make me feel like a firefly. Trapped in a belljar; starved for love. ❞

❝ Sometimes your eyes are not the only place the tears fall from. ❞

❝ My heart does not beat, it aches, for you. ❞

❝ Do you even know how you make me weak? ❞

❝ If you lose your one and only, there’s always room here for the lonely. ❞

❝ Part of me aches at the thought of her being so close yet so untouchable. ❞

❝ Sometimes it feels like love and sometimes it feels like the death. ❞

❝ I don’t know where your heart is but mine is bruised. ❞

❝ I tried to wash the scars and marks from under my skin but you’re etched in me like stone.❞

❝ You call it love, but still you hate me? ❞

❝ You’re the pain and the medicine, one taste and I’m numb again. ❞

❝ With you next to me, there’s no darkness I can’t overcome.  ❞

❝ They don’t love you the way I love you. ❞

❝ What a wicked way to treat the one that loves you. ❞

❝ What’s worse, looking jealous or crazy? ❞

❝ There’s a fire starting in my heart, it’s bringing me out the dark. ❞

❝ The scars of your love remind me of us. ❞

❝ Tears of blood fall from my broken heart. ❞  

❝ Never mind, I’ll find someone like you. ❞

❝ When it’s all said and done, I’m still in love with you. ❞

❝ I want you to know that I’m all yours. ❞

❝ You could break my heart in two but when it heals, it beats for you. ❞

❝ The emotion that can break your heart is sometimes the very one that heals it…  ❞

❝ Jealousy is just love and hate at the same time. ❞ 

❝ I know you still think about the times we had. ❞

❝ I’ve been so selfish because I love you so much. ❞

❝ You’re just like a pill, instead of making me better, you keep making me ill. ❞

❝ I bet you start loving me as soon as I start loving somebody else. ❞

❝ Do you ever think of me when you lie? ❞

❝ I fell for your lies, you hurt me, all the time. ❞

❝ Despite everything, I still remain loving you. ❞

❝ I’m waiting for the one day to come, when I can look at you and feel nothing. ❞

❝ Love creeps up on you, you never know how hard it’s there until they leave.  ❞

❝ I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to forgive myself for just how badly I broke you.. ❞

❝ What chance did we have against fate? ❞

❝ Be careful when fixing broken people. You may end up cutting yourself. ❞

❝ Every other lover will always be compared to you. ❞

❝ I would recognize your heartbeat from the ends of space. ❞

❝ Even in dreams, ghosts of former happiness haunt me. ❞

❝ You should see me when my heart is broken. I don’t grieve, I shatter. ❞

❝ Love, but don’t fall in love because everything that falls breaks. ❞

❝ If my love was a war, you only fought for the glory of winning. ❞

❝ How many hearts have you collected? How many chests have you left aching and empty? ❞  

❝ I have not broken your heart - you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine. ❞

❝ If it’s a question of my heart, you’ve got it. It don’t belong to anyone but you. ❞
