His mouth pressed into a frown, eyes hard and distant as he pressed his hands together, fingers clasped so tightly he was sure he would loose feeling in them soon enough. “I’m fine,” he re-iterated, eyes boring straight ahead. “You saw what I am. So why are you here?” He finally spared the tiniest of glances out of the corner of his eye, and his entire facade threatened to melt under her caring look. “Don’t you have a wedding to attend.”

“I’m here because you need me here,” she insisted quietly, watching the way he’d reacted. She knew this wouldn’t be an easy conversation to have but she wasn’t going to just run away from him, nor would she leave him alone at a time like this. “I have nowhere else I want to be. I’ll sit here quietly if that is what you’d prefer but I’m not leaving,” she said with a sense of finality in the words, hoping he wouldn’t demand that she leave.

He knew she was there. He could feel her eyes on him, and god, would it have been such a wonderful feeling had he not just reveled his truth to her. He didn’t dare turn to meet her gaze- he didn’t think he would be able to face the look on her face. Normally he didn’t care what anyone thought of him…but this was- well, she was different. “I’m fine,” he said after a moment, clearing his throat, answering her question before she even asked.

She would wait until he looked at her, she decided, although she did worry a bit that he wouldn’t look at her again. While it had been a lot to process and take in, she could feel everything that he was feeling and the one thing she knew was that he needed her even if he wouldn’t say it. Her hand moved to cover his when he spoke and she decided that was close enough to him turning to face her. “It is alright to not be fine,” she spoke quietly, hoping to reassure him.

“That is a very good saying,” Capheus admitted while he wandered to the window, to the brilliant view of the Mexico City skyline. “In Nairobi we have a similar saying, you are never without home if you are always with heart. This is universal.” He turned back to Lito. “You are movie star? Just like Jean Claude. You are the maker of magic, my friend,” Capheus said, reaching a hand out to shake his shoulder, overcome with excitement.

Capheus was fascinating to Lito. He had an energy radiating off of him, an abundance of something he couldn’t quite put his finger on but he realized he loved the feeling. It reminded him of how he felt when Hernando would recite lines he’d helped Lito learn when the film would play on television, reminded him of the warmth he felt when his boyfriend’s voice would change in the most subtle of ways as he spoke passionately about something he cared about. It was like Capheus was simply in love with life or at least with the possibilities it came with. He had the fleeting wish that he’d been able to speak to him sooner. “The real magic is in the words, not in me. It’s all about interpretation and delivery. If I believe it, the audience will believe it. That’s the key to a good lie. Believe what you know to be false,” he explained, though he kept the words light.

“In all the glory,” Capheus said, a wide grin splitting his face as he turned to his side. He hadn’t spoken to Lito yet, not on this level, and yet somehow he knew him. To Capheus, it was beautiful, and something that he didn’t question. Why question a gift. To be connected to someone on such a personal level, to be able to travel without leaving, to see without being, it was miraculous. “And…this is your house?” He raised his eyebrows as he stood suddenly to spin in Lito’s spacious, modern apartment. “This is like a movie! You live here? This is yours?”

“Si, this is my apartment,” Lito nodded, half a smirk on his face as he watched the other man look around in wonder. He tried to see his home from the other’s point of view, to take in the differences of their worlds and their cultures. “It’s not just mine. Hernado lives here as well as our friend Dani,” he explained, though neither of them were home at the moment. “Where we love is home, home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts,” he quoted from one of his movies.

It was always a strange sensation when he first made contact with another sensate. Being completely linked to someone so personally, feeling everything they were feeling, knowing that one of you needed the other’s help in some way... it was surreal. He spent more time with some than others but he’d never really met Capheus until they’d banded together to save Riley. Yet here he was now, in Nairobi with the sun beating down on him the same way it did in Mexico with the other man standing next to his side. “So this is the Van Damme?”

lilacremedy:

“What! My apartment smells like spaghetti and dreams, get the heck outta here Del- oh shit. Hang on…just…I’m gonna go check outside, you should stay behind me. Or not. You could go first. It sounded like someone running in the hallway…”

“Oh for fuck’s sake, Presley. Fine, you stay behind me you big ass baby. Better yet go lock yourself in the bathroom until the power comes back on. It’s probably nothing. You’re such a fucking--wait a minute, I’m not dying for you. Get me a knife.”

[fallingslcwly]

lilacremedy:

“Hey. Listen lady, you didn’t hurt my feelings but I could use a cuddle. I’m notafraid of the dark. Fight me. I can get the candles, I’m a big boy. Why’d you bring candles over anyway unless you were the one who wanted to cuddle…punk.”

“Don’t flatter yourself. I brought the candles over because your apartment smells like shit and if I’m hanging out with you for more than ten minutes I need some aromatherapy. Here’s the--what the fuck was that?”

[fallingslcwly]

lilacremedy:

“You are so mean to me, and here I am, opening my apartment to you, keeping you company…I don’t want to waste the battery what if we need it later? Hey, freak black outs is how it always starts, you know?”

“Aw, did I hurt your feelings? Poor little baby needs a cuddle? Sounds like someone is afraid of the dark. I’ll go get my lighter, just grab the candles I brought over. Unless you’re too scared to be by yourself and you want to walk with me to my room.”

[fallingslcwly]

lilacremedy:

“Okay, one, I’m not afraid of the dark. And two, I wouldn’t need a plot to cuddle, I’d just ask. Three, just help me find the flashlights…I would have to be watching that creepy shit- oh my god. Del. Look out the window…the whole fuckin’ city is dark.”

“And if you asked I would turn you down and you know this. You would need a plot. You’re so useless, honestly, use your cell phone. I’ll get some candles. It’s probably just some freak black out thing. Quit watching scary shit, you’re such a fucking baby, honestly.”

[fallingslcwly]

lilacremedy:

“No! I’m not that stupid. I mean, okay, that one time I thought the story they were running on aliens was real but it was really convincing! This is channel four, they’re saying it’s some kind of-…shit. Powers out.”

“Saying it’s some kind of what? Goddammit if this is some kind plot to like get me to cuddle you because you’re afraid of the dark it’s not going to work”

[wcrlockin]

( &&. 28 DAYS LATER )

“Dude, you gotta see this…talking about some black out that happened in London. Like, they’re saying people are going crazy. Full on crazy, like that dude from Florida who ate soap or whatever…”

[fallingslcwly]

“Are you even watching the news or do you have that weird ass channel 79 on again because one time they were talking about a polar bear that went on a rampage and ate six penguins at the zoo and we don’t even have a polar bear at our zoo.”

Riley groaned, clearly faced with another too far gone party girl as he tried to ask her if she was alright. She had only giggled, face red from alcohol and the heat of the bodies around her, swaying slightly. It was his job to get girls like this out of the party. Staying could mean that the frat would be eventually placed under probation. It had happened more than once, unfortunately. A girl that was too drunk ended up being taken advantage of. Well, not on his watch. He didn’t want that to happen, for one. But more importantly, he didn’t want to have the blame for it. “Where do you live, sweetheart. I’m gonna call you a cab to take you home.”

[fallingslcwly]

“Bit forward for the first date,” she smirked, clutching the cup in one hand relaxing the other against his broad chest. She trailed her fingers over his muscles, always wanting one herself but piercing her nipples had been murder; she didn’t want to to risk a tattoo and a needle constantly over her skin. The strangers were nice enough to bump her body against the handsome boy and a slowly and slightly tipsy smirk up her lips. “As long as you’re coming home with m but baby,” she whisper up in his to be heard. “You’re never gonna wanna leave. I’ll take good care of you.”

She hadn’t meant to get drunk. Delaney very rarely allowed herself to become anything more than pleasantly buzzed at parties. The last thing she wanted to be was sloppy and the idea falling all over oneself or puking in someone’s yard or worse, going home with someone absolutely disgusting because her mind was clouded was a revolting thought. Yet somehow she’d found herself a little caught up in taking shots and for someone as tiny as she who hadn’t eaten that day, the few she’d had were certainly getting to her. She was only slightly aware of someone talking to her but she simply laughed when she realized she had no clue what they’d said to her. 

[wcrlockin]

“Ah shiiit, there she goes. Be careful don’t get me started, train is easy to kick off and hard to slow down…okay on a real note though, can I have you and the cake for dessert. I mean it looks fuckin’ bomb and you worked hard on it.”

[fallingslcwly]

“Tyler! I try so hard to sound even the tiniest bit sexy and you’re more concerned with eating the cake?”

[wcrlockin]

“Babe, the physical is implied. So really you just have to say your ‘other needs’ with a little sexy Summer wink, you know, work your moves.”

[fallingslcwly]

“Okay, okay. Um. How about we have something other than cake for dessert?”

[wcrlockin]

“Tch! Do you really need an oil change? I don’t know shit about cars Sum, you know that. But I guess I can take out the trash. I’m talking about your other needs. Your other needs, Sum. Your physical needs.”

[fallingslcwly]

“Oh. I knew that. It doesn’t sound sexy when I say it! It sounds silly. Like, hey Tyler, wanna take care of my physical needs? It sounds dumb!”

[wcrlockin]

Oh my god, how the hell had this happened. He had never, not once in his whole entire life, stepped foot into Victoria’s Secret. He wasn’t opposed to sex, or lingerie, or any lace panties by any means. It was just, well, he was old fashioned. And, despite the fact that she had brought him in here, he became incredibly paranoid that suddenly she’d peg him for a pervert as he blushed at the mention of her skin. “Uh-” was all he really managed to say, eyes wide and unblinking, posture shifting from one of comfort to ‘holy shit get me out of here’. “Uh, yeah. I guess if you wanted to be…flushed…that would do the uh, the trick.”

[fallingslcwly]

The very way Presley flushed and instantly stiffened was what JJ lived for. It probably didn’t say much about her as a person that seeing someone look so physically uncomfortable pleased her so much but she couldn’t help it. Her lips curved into a smirk as she picked up the tiny scrap of lacy fabric and examined it. “I think these might work but I can’t be sure until I try them on.” She looked at them for a moment more before placing it in his hand. “Is it too lacy, you think? Like does it feel too stiff?” she asked innocently, biting on her lip as she awaited his response.
