Blood on Your Sleeve @dethenryquinn said: "You're safe now. You're here, you're safe, and I've got you. Just breathe." for Ollie, maybe a nightmare??

If anyone had asked, Ollie wouldn't have been able to recall exactly what he had seen in his dream that night. All he knew was that there had been blood and pain and fear, much like he had felt that day in Valentine's basement. The fear of losing Henry, the blood that coated his body, and the agony brought by each pass of the blade across his skin. He had woken up breathing heavily, feeling Henry's hands on his arms urging him to open his eyes, and when he had, there was a moment where he almost didn't realise where he was. He gripped Henry's shirt tightly, trying to calm his heart rate down as tears stung at the corners of his eyes. All he needed to do was focus on those words.

You're safe.

I've got you.

He pulled away from the other for a moment, giving himself a little more space to breathe, in through his nose and out through his mouth, and he closed his eyes for a second. He began to go over the 5-4-3-2-1 technique that he had been shown during his counselling, allowing himself time, and as the seconds passed, he felt his fight or flight response beginning to fade away.

"Thank you, Henry." Ollie finally spoke up, turning to look at his partner and reaching his hand to gently cup the other's cheek. "You have no idea how glad I am to have you."

Blood on Your Sleeve @flow3rbound said: Nobody takes care of you, do they? That ends tonight. (dex pirate au)

He felt small, weak, lost. He was trying his best to relax into this new life that had found him, trying to picture himself fitting in with regular people, but he was afraid that would be more difficult than he hoped. Dex was hyper aware of how he stood out, how he didn't belong. He knew that he had originally come from a life at least somewhat like this, but he had no real memory of it. Whatever happened, be it injury or just the trauma from the wreck that took his family, he could only recall his life with the crew and his captain. To be stepping into a normal world like this for what felt like the first time, he wasn't sure how to act.

He sat in the bedroom that he had been provided - an actual room with a proper bed, soft sheets beneath his fingertips - and felt the emotions overwhelming him. It wasn't that he necessarily felt that he had been mistreated by the captain. The man had raised him as his own, and sure he had suffered many a beating over the years at his hand, but Dex understood that he had deserved it. There was always a reason. But now, he was surrounded by a softness that was unfamiliar to him. Everything from the physical surroundings to the way Milo spoke to him felt tender, careful. None of it was designed to hurt or cause pain, and that was new to him.

He had thought he was alone when he brought his knees up to his chest, sitting awkwardly on the mattress with tears escaping his eyes, feeling as though he did not belong in a world like this. But he heard the door opening up and spotted Milo entering. He offered a small smile, quickly wiping his eyes to try and hide the evidence of his sorrow. When the words reached him, he looked into the other's piercing blue gaze, the genuine nature and warm implications hitting him hard.

"Thank you..." His voice was a whisper as he spoke, managing a sad smile in response. "I don't know what I have done to deserve this amount of kindness from you, but I'm very grateful for it. Just being around you again after all this time is enough of a reward in itself."

“it's   a   date.”   the   words   felt   foreign   on   his   tongue,   but   in   a   way   that   was   warm   like   cocoa   on   a   crisp   winter's   evening.   it   felt   right,   felt   comfortable   ;   and   to   think   how   easily   they   could   have   passed   it   all   off   as   a   foolish   mistake   in   the   heat   of   the   moment.   “what   about   next   friday ?   i   have   a   shift   in   the   morning,   but   after   that   i'm   free.   i   don't   work   again   until   the   sunday   night   shift.”   patrick   could   never   promise   unrestricted   access.   sometimes   he   wished   he   could   throw   it   all   away   and   work   in   a   coffee   shop,   or   a   fast - food   joint,   or   maybe   in   a   quiet   little   office   where   weekends   were   guaranteed   rests,   but   then   he   remembered   the   patients.   it   was   all   for   them,   in   the   end   —   the   constant   late   nights,   the   evenings   where   patrick   fell   asleep   before   he   had   time   to   drive   out   of   the   lot.   he   sighed,   catching   dex's   gaze,   smiling.   “i   suppose   i   better   leave   you   to   it.”

[etxrnaleclipse]

His cheeks turned a deep shade of pink as he heard the other man agree to a date, glad that he had managed to prevent this entirely fizzling out straight away. Sure, maybe things might not necessarily work perfectly with them, but he wanted to give it a try. He really liked Patrick, more than he had expected that he would, so he wanted to make it work. "Friday sounds perfect. I'm off after Thursday... I'll book somewhere for dinner?" If Patrick really hadn't been wined and dined before, then he wanted to make sure that he got the best treatment that he could manage. He wanted the other to feel extra special. "I can text you the details."

@etxrnaleclipse

Cam had been sitting outside the cafe in his rental car for...twenty minutes at this point. He'd been debating stopping by since he made the decision to come back to California for his high school reunion. He'd been going back and forth about seeing Bobby again. They hadn't parted on bad terms, but good was also a stretch. He'd been an angry, depressed, terrified barely-eighteen-year-old when they broke up as he focused on picking up the pieces of his and James's life and moving them as far away from that place as he could get them.

He was sitting outside the cafe because he also wanted to see Bobby's mother. She'd been more of a mother to him in the end than his own had. He'd been thankful for the whole family. He just...also knew that if he decided to see her he'd have to see Bobby, because her telling her son she saw him again might stir up questions of 'well why didn't he come see me?' and- And he was overthinking this. He was sure.

He scrubbed a hand over his face. He just needed to make a decision. Hell, his luck Bobby's mom wouldn't even be here and it would all be moot anyway. With a deep breath, trying to settle his nerves, he finally climbed out of the car and headed inside.

The cafe was almost exactly like he remembered. Maybe a repaint or two had happened in the decade he'd been gone, but it looked the same. Smelled the same even. It offered a nostalgic comfort that helped push him toward the counter.

There was a young woman behind the counter, and he met her smile with a small one of his own. He figured the least he could do was get something while he was here, ordering a pastry and a coffee.

"And is Mrs. Cari-" He couldn't even get the sentence out before Bobby appeared, presumably from some back area, and it felt like the whole world just...stopped.

Oh, he looked the same he did 10 years ago. A few more laugh lines, hair a little longer, but the same. It had his heart clenching in his chest in a way he'd chastise himself for later. But for now...

"Bobby," he breathed out finally.

[etxrnaleclipse]

He always planned to leave this place, to get out and see the world, but life had a funny way of throwing a spanner in the works. That said, he had found himself proven wrong when he thought he would only find happiness beyond the borders of their hometown. Bobby thought that he would never truly feel like this was where he was meant to stay, but when unexpected instances happened, he lost a little bit of the control over his life and watched as it took on a path he never expected.

Now, he had been running this place for seven years and he had discovered that he actually could find happiness here. It was a surprise to himself, but he accepted it and now, he couldn't imagine being anywhere else. It was a regular day in the cafe, end of month finances being his focus, but he knew that he was in dire need of some caffeine. He had been working on the books for what felt like hours, and so he stood from his small desk and began to step out into the main space, when his gaze landed on a familiar face.

There was a short while where he stood in silence, eyes taking in the sight of his old boyfriend. There had been a time where Bobby had silently planned out a future with Cam, where he had pictured them having a happy life together, but once again, the universe had its own ideas. It was only when he heard the other saying his name that he snapped back to reality and he managed a soft smile.

"Cam... Well ain't this a surprise. A good one, I promise."

"That's good to hear," Jeanie said and offered Henry her warm smile. "He's given a lot of people closure over the years, since he was a kid. I'm glad you found each other and you both have more family now. Because that's what you are, Ollie, family, to me too."

She couldn't deny the joy Ollie brought Henry, it was written all over her nephew's face. She was also aware of how they were avoiding looking at each other at certain moments, as if they were fooling her. Jeanie was old enough to know two people in love when she saw them. But for now, she played along.

"The weather's not great most of the time, but there's friendly people, wildlife, and peace and quiet." She looked to Henry who was finishing off another Jam-Jam. "Don't ruin your supper, darlin', I'm making your favourite."

Henry gave her a wide-eyed look, "Oh, your famous spaghetti?! Right, ok." He felt like a kid again for a moment, then finished off the rest of his tea.

"Why don't you go show Ollie we're you'll be sleeping. I assume the extra room won't be needed?" She smiled around her tea cup.

[etxrnaleclipse]

Ollie nursed his mug in his hands, appreciating the warmth that it brought to his palms as he listened to what Jeanie had to say. Henry was a special guy, that much was clear, but hearing how she spoke about him and how he would help people even as a child, it made him smile.

"Thank you. That means a lot." Ollie didn't have a huge family beyond his immediate people. He had distant cousins through his grandfather's brothers, but his mother was an only child, and his Uncle Steven had no kids, so to have Jeanie welcome him like that meant a great deal. He took a sip of his tea as she continued to speak, however when she mentioned the room situation, he felt the drink shooting down the wrong way, causing him to cough slightly.

"Sorry- I... Sorry?" His eyes quickly darted to Henry, before back to Jeanie, staring at her with a wide gaze.

“Oh, c’mon! You’re not seriously gonna tell me you think you’re the good one here, right? We both know I’m the most responsible between us.” There was a loud laugh following his words, because everyone and their mother knew the most responsible title was really a stretch. 

Even though Milo felt a relief knowing his cousin would not judge him, the theatrics only made him roll his eyes at the other, though the corners of his lips were twitching upwards. He waited and listened as the other took in the news, fiddling nervously with his fingers while the response came. He was ready to accept any advice, even coming from his cousin whose love life wasn’t any better than his. “You know I don’t do the whole online dating anyway. But yes, he’s very special.” Ever since apps appeared, he had always been reticent to use them —he was old fashioned in that way, he preferred a face to face meeting. Dex’s case was definitely an exception, and it wasn’t a dating app per se where they met. “You don’t think this is crazy? Being miles away and not seeing one another for months?”

[etxrnaleclipse]

"We both know I'm the good one. I'm the bestest and you know it." Andy replied, laughing at how ridiculous it sounded even to him. But he fell silent and more serious when his cousin began to speak about this man he had met, unable to fight the joy that he felt upon seeing how happy Milo seemed to be. It was amazing, the idea of the other finding someone who made him have such a spark in his own eyes.

"Crazy? I mean, sure. Maybe a little. But you sound so sure about this guy. Just from the last few moments with you talking about him, it is so stupidly clear that you're head over heels for him. If that's the case.... why should it matter? I mean, you'll make it work, right?"

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH EVERYBODY ! let’s take this as a reminder that no matter what you identify as, no matter if you’re out of the closet or not, no matter if you’re still questioning, all of you are incredibly loved and i am so damn proud of you.

@etxrnaleclipse & starter call / jennifer & matt .

"hey, you don't wanna step on too many toes while you're around. this team is pretty tight knit, especially now." with how much the team has gone through, how much she's watched them go through - how much she's been through with them. they're her team, her people and she doesn't want anyone to step in and ruin what they have. it's happened too many times.

[etxrnaleclipse]

"Trust me, I'm not here to cause any trouble or upset the way things are. I just wanna help." It was never easy joining an established team, especially one that had faced the challenges these guys had. It made people close, but Matt just had to hope that he could earn his place here in time. "Whatever I need to do to show that, I'll do it."

[lonelyheartedheathens]

Jules glanced at the clock, internally wincing seeing the time. He hadn't even realized how late it had gotten.

He melted a bit under her touch, leaning into it. A hand came up to touch one of her hands.

"This is an extenuating circumstance," he murmured. He sighed heavily, dropping his pencil on his desk and turning around to face her. His hands found her waist, drawing her in closer. "This project has been a bit of a pain. But once it's over, I'll be back to my regularly scheduled programming," he promised, bowing his head to press his forehead to hers.

[etxrnaleclipse]

Her gaze watched him closely, observing his expression for any hints at what the time might do. She knew better than to assume he would just give in like that, but still, she smiled softly when he relaxed into the gentle massage, leaning down to press a kiss to the top of his head.

"Isn't it always?" Sadie asked, raising an eyebrow at him as he turned, reaching up her arms to wrap around his shoulders. "I know your work is important to you, but I absolutely refuse to just sit back and watch you work yourself into an early grave. Can this not wait until the morning so you can at least get a half-decent sleep?"

[lonelyheartedheathens]

They both had to put on airs sometimes, Sadie at her matches or at interviews, Stevie with her own few little premiers. But together, those went away.

She leaned to press a gentle kiss to Sadie's lips.

"Good. I'm glad we can always be ourselves with each other."

[etxrnaleclipse]

Sadie smiled fondly at her girlfriend, leaning in to meet Stevie in the kiss. "Always. I'd be disappointed if you tried to be anyone else." The blonde made her life feel complete, made her feel completely sane when her work was driving her up the wall. They both has unique lives, unique careers, but she would always feel grateful that after every match, she had Stevie to come back to.

[lonelyheartedheathens]

It sounded like they were in a bit of 'I'm fine with whatever, so it's whatever you want to do' reassurance loop, and something about that just had Jules chuckling quietly. If anything, it made him feel a little less awkward since he wasn't the only one doing that.

"I drink coffee," he assured with a small nod. "Caffeine is an important part of my diet." He shifted closer to Dex, their feet and knees touching, their noses were a hair's breadth apart. "I'm not in any big rush though, if you're not."

[etxrnaleclipse]

Everything about Jules made Dex feel entirely comfortable and at ease. Maybe it was the apparent similarities between them, or something else completely, but he didn't care. It was just nice to be there with the other after their encounter.

"Well then, that's good to know. Because I can't function without it." Dex laughed, smiling at Jules as they lay there, so close that he could see the slight fleck of brown in the other's blue eyes. "No rush at all... Your eyes are super beautiful by the way."

If I kiss you, will you push me away or pull me closer? (from Taryn oops)

This was one of the many reasons he hated himself for allowing Taryn back into his life. It seemed as if she knew exactly what weaknesses to exploit to have him eating from her hand. Milo was pretty much aware of the effect she still had on him, and even knowing how bad this was for him (for both of them for that matter) he couldn’t seem to be able to stay away. Whenever he tried to take a step back, she found a way to pull him back in. But that wasn’t entirely Taryn’s fault, he should be stronger than this. She broke his heart, betrayed his trust, and yet, he was still following her like a lost puppy because he missed her and the good memories they had. 

Milo already had a very bad judgement around her being sober, so he should have known that putting alcohol into the mix could only lead to even worse decisions. She had moved closer, placing one hand over his chest as the other locked on his nape. It wasn’t as if he didn’t have an option or was cornered, he could have gently pushed her hands away before it escalated. But he didn’t move. And when she spoke, he didn’t turn her down but encouraged her.

A soft nervous laugh left his lips as his eyes locked those beautiful dark brown eyes of hers. He’ll be damned. “Guess you’ll never know until you do it.”
