ROSILIO, ODETTE.

    “  i’m not most people. and neither are you.      ——     i suppose i could grace you with my presence. maybe. you should try askin’ nicely… goes a long way, you know.  ”

   “ you’re right about that.       ————        PLEASE, dearest odette, grace me with your presence in the kitchen. please keep me company, while i slave over a hot stove after a long day’s work. i even have a glass of wine with your name on it. ”

PHILLIPS, EMMA.

   “   I love them,   ”   She promises, and she does, already making a mental note to add Kai’s name to a list of thank you cards she had piling up on her desk. One of the — or as Emma would begrudge, forsaking usual positivity, one of the only —  good things about working at the town’s private school was the addition of more expensive gifts doled out to her from grateful parents. 

   “   You’ll have a batch of those — extra frosting —  ”  She adds, just so he knew she was paying attention, even though she already knew that.   “  And more oatmeal raisin for Odette. Do you know what kind Ava likes ?  Or is there some kind of holiday thing at the hospital you’d need some for  ?  I usually just do chocolate chip for stuff like that so people don’t complain. ”  That’s accompanied with a good natured eye roll. She’s already working a mile a minute to try and plan for a weekend of baking, preparation for a consistent add on to Christmas gifts all across town. 

he’s glad she loves them, because he’d like to stay in good favor        ————        hopeful that if he ever needs to, he can turn to her for help about odette. though, he’d be spilling the beans if he did. he’s not entirely sure if odette’s mentioned the fact that they’re, well, TOGETHER to anyone, and he respects her desire for privacy, though he does feel like a TEEN sneaking around.

   “ extra frosting ? the way to my heart, if you ever find someone needing trade secrets, ”   he jokes, smile crossing lips as he does.   “ kid’s a peanut butter fanatic. and the hospital        ————        well, i didn’t sign up for desserts when we pooled together on that. THANK YOU, though, for the offer. ”   he grins. it’s a kind offer, and he does appreciate it.

APOLSKIS, JULIAN.

there were a lot of things he wasn’t sure about. himself and the future included. but sometimes—certainty became him. months ago, he might’ve not known;   the extent of which he cares, or to which he could again. the last few years leaving him a shell of what was already just that. and then, unexpectedly, he opens back up. to new experiences but not new people. perhaps there was some safety in that. knowing what to expect, knowing what you can get and what you can’t. he wasn’t sure of a lot, but he’s sure of this—he’d sit in the cold for hours on end if it meant she’d light up the way she just had.

hand in hers, julian’s expression begins to match. and while the december temperature had him in its clutches before, he feels the warmth trickling in now. she was cute for asking, although ridiculous for thinking the answer would be anything but yes.

   “  am i sure i wanna go on a carriage ride with my girlfriend? yeah, i’m pretty sure.  ”

she watches as his face lights up, and she finds herself wondering if people could be wonders of the world. because the way his smile spreads across his face is one of the prettiest things she thinks she’s ever seen. heart skips several beats at his words, and she pauses, turning her face towards his.

   “ girlfriend? ”   she’s not complaining, of course, but they hadn’t put a label on it ( as far as she knew ), so it comes as a little bit of a surprise. but she doesn’t want to linger on it, in case he changes his mind, so instead she grins, standing on her toes to press a kiss to his lips and then turning to drag him to the carriage.

   “ how much for a ride? ”   she asks the driver politely, beaming at him.

(kai) SIMP

we GET it my characters are SIMPS.

S   :   SWEETHEART.   did your muse have a childhood sweetheart?

i really don’t know if odette counts because they never dated. so if she does count then yes, and if she doesn’t then no he didn’t.

I    :   I LOVE YOU.   does your muse find ‘i love you’ easy or hard to say?

i think if he were saying it to anyone besides odette he’d struggle with it. but living with that feeling for twenty years make it fairly easy to say it, when you’re practically bursting at the seams.

M   :   MOONLIGHT.   what is your muse’s ideal date? where / who with / etc?

he’s happy doing anything with odette, but he’d love to cook her dinner and watch a movie and then FUCK.

P   :   PARTNER.   what does your muse look for in a partner? looks / personality?

odette. <3

(chelsea) SIMP

we do be simpin’ tho.

S   :   SWEETHEART.   did your muse have a childhood sweetheart?

yessir his name is julian apolskis and now they’re DATING again. teehee.

I    :   I LOVE YOU.   does your muse find ‘i love you’ easy or hard to say?

she struggles with it, mostly because she’s worried that saying i love you will force people away and that terrifies her.

M   :   MOONLIGHT.   what is your muse’s ideal date? where / who with / etc?

she’s about to GO on her ideal date, and her ideal date is juli. the idea of going on a horse - drawn carriage in the snow with her boyfriend is like, peak romance to her.

P   :   PARTNER.   what does your muse look for in a partner? looks / personality?

she looks for julian <3

W,H,O,R,E for whom it may concern

no one told me who to answer this for and mads always calls chelsea a whore so!

W  :   WEDDING.   would your muse get married? why / why not?

chelsea would love to get married one day, even though she doesn’t have a good indicator of what a loving relationship is. she’s always been a little bit of a hopeless romantic, and she’s always dreamed of having a HAPPY ENDING, and in her mind that includes marriage.

H   :   HEART.   is your muse quick or slow to give their heart away?

she gives away her heart way to easily. chelsea doesn’t understand how to give only some of her heart, and especially when it comes to julian she’s all - in.

O   :   ODE.   does your muse have a way with words?

she definitely doesn’t think so. she likes writing, but she doesn’t feel like she’s very eloquent.

R   :   ROMANCE.   is your muse a romantic or a cynic?

i mean, i feel like the answer to THAT is pretty clear.

E   :   EMBRACE.   does your muse like hugs? what are their hugs like?

chelsea isn’t huge on physical contact, but she does enjoy hugs from the people that she trusts ( i.e. julian, kevin, pippa ).

APOLSKIS, JULIAN.

there are a MILLION other places he’d rather be—but no one he’d rather be with. and that was the problem, wasn’t it? because while the december cold nips at his skin; nose, hands and the tips of his ears, julian rejects the idea of home quicker than he ought to. hell, even the car would be a step - up from this. never big on winter, never big on pleasing other people, and still… somehow. he circles past her now, stopping in his track :    julian acts a human road - block between chelsea and the horse - drawn sleigh.

   “  yeah, me neither… not really a fan of horses.  ”   he admits with a shrug.   “  kinda creepy.  ”

nothing personal—just a preference. julian had never been very outdoorsy, and outdoors just happened to be the home ground for those things. farms, usually. and before moving to minnesota—of all places his mother could’ve chosen—julian apolskis was a city boy. through and through. suppose he could get this in seattle, too. but he hasn’t been back in a while, much less over the holidays. something about christmas making the whole family much less inclined to go down a trip on memory lane. a hand stretched out, he goes on.  

   “  so let’s go.  ”

he moves past her, but eyes stay glued to carriage and feet stay planted. though, he moves in front of her, acting like a blocker, and eyes move up to meet his, head tilting slightly to do so. heart drops slightly as he speaks, though she knew it was coming         ————        not a fan of cold, and apparently not of horses either. she bites her lip, eyes casting downwards to stare at arms that are still wrapped around torso. she knows he was a city boy, that farms weren’t common         ————         they weren’t in alexandria either         ————        so she’s not really surprised. she doubts SEATTLE was big on horses in general. 

but outstretched hand makes it’s way into her view, and head raises to meet his eyes once more, wide with surprise. she takes it, gently, and it’s a tad warmer than hers ( a nice sensation, since her fingers feel practically frozen ), a soft smile forming on pink lips.

   “ are you sure ? ” she questions, head tilting to the side and auburn locks spilling over shoulder. she’s excited         ————         expression makes that clear, with eyes SHINING and cheeks practically bursting from the smile that’s slowly spreading. but she doesn’t want him uncomfortable, or miserable. so she asks for confirmation, eyes shining with hope but voice full of understanding.

APOLSKIS, JULIAN.

hands find the dip of a waistline, and imitating the wander of her own, they creep up beneath her shirt. moulding themselves against curves, the girl herself kept close. HE COULD STAY THERE. with chelsea atop of parted legs to keep her steady, and with a heartbeat thumping ferociously against a chest paralleling her own. HE WOULD. a pause:   breath collected, followed by a wandering stare. gaze heeding—hazel eyes with specks of yellows and greens, freckles across her nose, and cheeks flushed… his touch goes abandoned, and instead it seeks out copper dyed hair.

   “  … you are exactly my type.  ”

cool hands move under shirt, caressing skin and sending goosebumps flurrying across flushed skin. but as gently as they arrived, they leave, hands instead tangling in her hair. cheeks tinge pink at his words, embarrassment flooding through her as well as something else        ————        comfort. safety. 

   “ i don’t know        ————        i don’t know why. but i’m not going to argue. ”   she says softly, running fingers through his own curls. she’s suddenly deeply aware of the fact that she’s straddling him, but ignores it in favor of studying him. taking in the sharp jawline, the way his hair frames his face. he’s always been her type,

PHILLIPS, EMMA.

Emma was certainly not the Grinch when it came to holidays — in fact, she’d likely fit right in in Whoville — but her heart certainly felt like it grew three sizes as she pulls back paper to reveal her gifts.   “   Oh my god, Kai.  ”   She breathes, holding her hand over her heart. A beaming smile crosses her features.  “  These are perfect.   ”   

She lifts one of the cookie cutters to investigate, and then another. A butterfly, a circle with fancy crimped edges.   “   First batch is definitely yours. Cupcakes and cookies.   ”   Forever a hugger, she tries to balance the box on her arm as she loops him in for a one armed embrace.   “   Sugar cookies, right ?   ”   Extra frosting.

her reaction is exactly what he’d hoped for        ————        full of smiles and genuine joy. he’d been unsure if it would be what she wanted, or ENOUGH        ————        or, even worse, he’d worried maybe she’d hate it. so he’s glad, to know that she enjoys them. grin spreads, and he shifts awkwardly from foot to foot.

   “ i’m glad you like them. i wasn’t sure if maybe you already had the set, or didn’t need any more, so it’s good to know it works out. ”   a pause, and then he nods.   “ yep. sugar cookies, and i love the frosting. ”   he’s almost surprised, that she remembered. he doesn’t even know if odette knows that about him.

ROSILIO, ODETTE.

“ oh, when you touch me? always.     ——    you know… most people don’t consider distractions a good thing. much less needed. ”

   “ that would be concerning to most people, you know.       ————        oh, but i do. can’t be all work and no play. ”
