Marina watched as Wren set the pizza box down on the bed, smiling at him in response. She couldn’t help but feel a flutter in her chest at the sight of him. “It’s nothing. I’ll always be here for you when you need me.” she told him. She’d been so angry before. But now, seeing him injured and vulnerable, she couldn’t help but feel a protective instinct towards him. She went to her desk, grabbing the papers and her notebook. She had to work on some battle formations for the Atlantean army and marina did not trust anything that could be hacked. 

As Wren settled in beside her, Marina pretended not to notice the way he was looking at her. She didn’t want to encourage him, not when she couldn’t afford to be distracted. So before getting in, she put on a hoodie, partly to shield herself from his gaze and partly to help her focus on her work. She dove into her research, pouring over textbooks and notes. She absent mindedly chewed on her pizza as she wrote and erased. wrote and erased.  wrote and erased. Even then, she couldn’t help but let her thoughts roam to how it felt to feel Wren’s eyes on her. she couldn’t shake the feeling that this was going to be more complicated than she had anticipated. Suddenly music started, and she realized it was the opening number to a musical. It grabbed her attention as she looked up. She’d always loved music. Something about the way it was played on the surface was just…magical. “What is this?” she asked him.

,

He wasn’t sure why he hadn’t been expecting to hear that from her, but he hadn’t. He took a moment to silently soak in her words. She promised that she’d always be there for him and he smiled a little again. Feeling a sudden warmth heating up his cheeks. “Really?” He asked before continuing in a teasing tone. “This won’t be the last time I do something stupid.” He told her as though he was warning her before cautiously reaching forwards and tucking one of her dark curls behind her ear. “I’m always here for you too, you know? Even if you rarely mess up.” 

She pulled on her hoodie and he looked away from her, feeling a little like he overstepped by staring. He thought about apologizing to her but figured bringing it up would only draw more attention to the tension they always seemed to have. As she focused in on work, he scrolled down the movies before landing on one of his two options. Moulin Rouge. Clicking it and starting the movie, he settled in against the pillows and tried to relax a little. Something that came a lot easier in this room with her than in his own by himself. He listened to her writing and erasing until her head lifted from the page curiously. “Moulin Rouge.” He answered her, “It’s a musical about a couple with a forbidden love.” He paused, “I figured I’d pick something you could enjoy listening to while you worked and I’m a sucker for musicals. I’ll have to take you to Broadway some day... if you end up liking them.”

Caroline was trying not to think about it, too, if not because the thought still made her so angry that she could destroy the room they were in. If it was up to her, the girl would be…well, considering how Atlantean society probably worked, it wasn’t likely that she’d be six feet under. But whatever their equivalent was. Caroline’s full potential was considerable, and she didn’t like to tap into it very often. It scared her. For Wren, though? For family? She wouldn’t have thought twice. She couldn’t help the soft huff that left her lips as he mentioned her sister. “I know, I heard,” she said, shaking her head so that her cheek brushed against Wren’s shoulder. “She’d probably be happy at one of those party schools you see in movies that are always on spring break.” Her tone suggested this would be terrible. “Would you go? I’d go with you.”

She said that she heard and he let out a gentle laugh. “Man. I think I’d be happy at one of those schools too.” He joked. Although it wasn’t entirely true. He wasn’t going out lately. The thought of someone slipping something else into his drink or just being around too many people right now was stressing him out. He could feel the hair on his neck stand as he thought about going to a party. Then, she questioned if he’d go to Ruby’s party and he swallowed. He wanted to say yes because it was normal for him to go to something like that. When she mentioned that she’d go with him, he finally nodded his head. “I’d go. So long as you came too.” He said with a smile. Trusting that she’d stay with him the entire time.

“Don’t you forget it,” she said with a playful grin, hoping to lift his spirits. She couldn’t stand seeing him so down, so disheartened. Another chip from her emotional wall crumbled. She reached out and placed a comforting hand on his arm, giving it a light squeeze. She knew he was trying to be brave, and she wouldn’t take that from him. She didn’t miss how excited he was. Nor how her heart raced at the sight of his smile. Neptune save her.

“Yeah, I’m a pretty good multitasker,” she said with a smile, relieved to see a flicker of happiness on Wren’s face. “Pick a movie and get me something good, bird boy,” she told him, walking off into her room. She returned a few minutes later, her curly hair still damp from the shower. She was dressed in her usual sleep attire of shorts and a crop top, and the smell of food wafted out from the other room. “Want to take whatever that wonderful smell is in here? I usually work in my bed,” she said, gesturing towards the invitingly fluffy bed.

.

His heart fluttered in his chest quickly, like a humming bird’s wingbeats as she gave him a playful grin. Flashing him her bright white teeth. Even knowing that she was just pitying him at the moment, he loved seeing it. Her smile nearly melted him every single time she gave it to him. She’d always been beautiful but even more so when she was happy or relaxed. She said she was a good multitasker and he chuckled. “Oh, I believe that.” She always kept herself busy with her royal duties and her work. He wished she’d just relax sometimes.

“I have the best movie taste.” He said with a proud lift of his chin and a dazzling smile on his lips. “You’ll love what I pick.” Wren promised her. Deciding then and there that it would be a musical. Maybe Rent or Moulin Rouge? Something with good songs. Since she wouldn’t be too focussed on the movie’s visuals while she worked. Once she disappeared to the shower, he ordered a pizza. Since he didn’t really want to have to think too hard on what to get them. Once it got there and it was in his hands, Marina called for him to join her in her room and he walked in with the food. Finally seeing her in her sleep-ware. He took only a moment to glance her over before reminding himself to be a little more respectful. Placing the pizza box down on the bed and sitting down beside her. He shot her another smile. “Thanks ‘Rina.”

"I wanna say you weren't trying to sneak up on me, but you did scare me regardless, so..." Gwen paused for a moment, overanalyzing the brunette's figure that had slowly come into view. "Good job." An overly friendly smile spread across her lips, feeling her muscles ease at the familiar man. She could recognize those wings anywhere. Not to mention, that dashing face of his. He always managed to look graceful somehow. She ought to jot down some notes on that. "Nice breeze tonight, isn't it?" She's not really sure how to go on about a conversation with him. Most of the time, they were extremely brief but at least she tried.

“I wanna say you weren’t trying to sneak up on me, but you did scare me regardless, so…” Gwen paused for a moment, overanalyzing the brunette’s figure that had slowly come into view. “Good job.” An overly friendly smile spread across her lips, feeling her muscles ease at the familiar man.

She ought to jot down some notes on that. “Nice breeze tonight, isn’t it?” She’s not really sure how to go on about a conversation with him. Most of the time, they were extremely brief but at least she tried.

He wasn’t expecting to see anyone else on the rooftop. Usually, on cooler nights like these- he was the only one here. Not that the rooftop was that popular of a destination anyway. Wren took a few curious steps towards her, trying to get a better look of who this was when she noticed him and spoke. He shot her a friendly smile back. Gwen. He didn’t know much about her but she seemed like a good person. Although, he did think the same of his now ex girlfriend. And she tried to cut his wings off. “I didn’t mean to frighten you, darlin’.” He told her softly. Hesitating for only a moment longer before he closed the distance between them and stood beside her. Humming when she mentioned the breeze. His heart yearned for a late night flight but he pushed the feeling deeper down, knowing he couldn’t yet. “It’s beautiful out.” He replied, gesturing up to the sky. “The stars are bright and there’s barely any clouds... See that?” He asked, leaning a little closer to her and tracing along a constellation with his finger. “That’s Leo.”

Marina gave Wren a soft smile, her heart aching for him. She knew how much he was struggling with his injuries, especially with his wings. She wanted to give him hope, to reassure him that everything would be alright. “I know it’s hard, but you have to believe that your wings will get better,” she said gently. “We can’t give up hope.” She could see the pain in his eyes as he moved after her. It cracked a piece of that wall around her. He had been attacked. He was vulnerable and probably still scared. Maybe he just needed to not be alone. “I really need to get some work done, but if we can watch something in my room while i do. I can multi task. ” she conceded with a nod. “I need to eat . Why don’t you order us some food while I shower and then we can…hang out?” she offered. A movie wouldn’t make or break her after all. It would be then sitting in quiet eating and watching. Then she could go to bed. 

“You’re probably right. You always are.” He was an idiot for not listening to her before but they both knew that and he didn’t need to bring it up only to embarrass himself more. The whole thing was mortifying. She had to save his life. If Marina hadn’t walked in to check on him, he might not be here right now. Or he would be missing a couple of appendages. He openly shuddered. She was trying to be gentle with him right now. Her words were softer than he’d ever heard them and encouraging. “I know...” He said softly, reaching over for his housecoat that hung on the wall and draping it over himself. “I’m just... feeling a bit of anxiety about it. That’s all. I’m sure I’ll heal up and be back to my same ol’ peppy self in no time.” He told her, trying to put her at ease. When she mentioned that he could stay for a while with her as she worked, he suddenly brightened. “Really?” Wren asked her. His eyes sparkling. “You wouldn’t mind?” He didn’t want to be alone but ore importantly... he wanted to be with her. Finally, for what felt like the first time in days, a real smile appeared on his features. “I’ll happily order us some food if it means hanging out.”

Marina finished up bandaging Wren’s wound.  Against her better judgment, she gave him a small smile, hoping that it would help to ease his worry. “You don’t have to worry, it will heal soon. You’ll be back in the skies before you know it” she said reassuringly. She turned, putting the first aid supplies away.

“We don’t have to have small talk. ” Marina said, shaking her head. “I don’t…things are complicated enough as it is, isn’t it?” she asked him. She didn’t know where to go from here with him. He knew how she felt and it hadn’t been enough. She didn’t know how to bounce back from that. “Just call or text if you need anything. I’ll be in my room.”

.

She gave him a small smile and his heart nearly skipped a beat. When was the last time she smiled at him? He could barely recall it. He had no idea how much he missed seeing it until she gave it to him. Then she mentioned that he didn’t have to worry and he folded his wings in a little closer to him, despite the sharp pain in his left one. “You don’t know that. I’m not even sure if the school nurses even know what they’re doing with me. My anatomy’s not exactly... normal.” He reminded her with a quiet sigh. 

She said they didn’t have to have small talk and he frowned. She never liked small talk, not even that summer when they fell in love. “Are you sure?” He asked after her, feeling a little like a desperate puppy as he took a few hopeless steps towards her. “We don’t have to talk, we can watch a movie or something.” He wanted her around him. He couldn’t help himself.

[flyingeros]

petalsinmoonlight​:

Marina agreed to check the bandage for Wren, her heart breaking as she caught sight of his wings. She knew how much flying meant to him, just like swimming meant everything to her. “Yeah, turn around.” She gently turned him around to inspect the wound, her fingers lightly brushing against his back.

Marina’s heart sank as she saw that the bandage on Wren’s wound was bleeding through. “We need to change this,” she said softly. She searched through the medical supplies until she found what she needed, and then began to carefully remove the old bandage. As she worked, she couldn’t help but ask, “Did they say how long until you can fly again?” She knew how important flying was to Wren, and the thought of him being grounded for too long made her feel uneasy. Nonetheless, she continued to work on the bandage, trying to make sure that the wound was clean and well-protected.

.

He nodded to her and turned so she could have a look at his back. Nervously tapping along his arm as she inspected his wound. Her fingers brushing along his back as she did so. He let out a shaky breath and ducked his head. Trying not to react to the light touch. She was being very good with him, he didn’t want to react too much and scare her away from helping. Her words her soft as she informed him that it would need to be changed. “Okay.” He said, sounding a little disappointed, despite himself. 

Wren nodded his head a bit at her question. “A month, maybe two. She tried to- I mean, she went really deep under the left one. Like she was trying to car-carve it out or something.” He stammered. “Let’s not talk about it.” He decided suddenly, bringing a hand up to his lips so he could bite at his nails a little before pulling away and speaking again, trying to sound more steady. “So um- how are you doing? How’s classes for you?”

[flyingeros]

petalsinmoonlight​:

Marina didn’t say anything for a moment, her jaw clenched as she looked away from the wound on Wren’s body. She was upset with him for getting hurt, especially because she felt like it was her responsibility to protect him. But she couldn’t let herself slip into her old feelings and make things worse. Without looking at him, she continued to help him change, her movements quick and efficient. “Do you need anything else?” she asked finally, her voice tight. “I’ll stay here until you’re done.

She was quiet as she helped him out of his shirt. Her hands were careful and gentle but she wasn’t looking him in the eye. It almost stung more than the long deep cut on his back. She got his shirt off before helping him with his harness. One of his wings unfolded naturally while the other sagged. It’s feather’s dragging on the ground a little. It hurt to move it. She asked if he needed anything else and he nodded his head after a long moment of considering it. He wanted nothing more to dismiss her from having to do this for him but... he crossed his arms and sighed. “Could you check the bandage? See if it’s bled through? I um- I can’t see my back without a mirror.”

The least he could do was get coffee with her since he wasn’t accepting her invitation to fly with her today. His back was still too sore and he wanted to hide away his wings since the attack. Considering they were nearly stolen from him. Trying to keep things as light and normal as possible, he decided to tell her a few funny stories he had to brighten the mood. “-And I’ve never trusted roosters since! Those things are evil.” Wren said with a soft laugh before sipping at his coffee. “So, what classes do you have today. Maybe I could walk you to your first one?”

Letting in another sharp breath through closed teeth, Wren stopped mid changing. It felt easier that morning but he figured it was because he wasn’t exhausted from classes then. Not to mention the soreness from his harness. Would it have been easier to just bow out of training for now? He didn’t want to draw too much attention to himself. The last thing he wanted was to talk about what happened with anyone. It felt a little embarrassing. Especially with how Marina was acting with him lately. Like he needed to be told he was an idiot for trusting a villain kid. Speaking of, Marina seemed to walk in on queue and closed the distance between them. It took a moment to register why she had. “Oh,” He said quietly. “Thanks, ‘Rina but you really don’t need to help me.”

“Oh, hey, Care.” Warren got out before she leaned her head against his shoulder. He didn’t want to think about it. He really didn’t want to think about it but of course, every time he told himself not to- that stinging sensation in his back would claw it’s way to the surface again and then he’d think about it. Caroline had to know by now, if she was paying any attention to his thoughts. But all she’d get if she dug any deeper were the same fuzzy, terrifying drugged up memories he had of the event. His wings twitched under his harness as he recalled the other night but he leaned his head against hers and took in a deep breath to try and relax himself a bit. All he wanted to do was pretend like everything was fine. “So... I think Ruby wants to plan a party.” 

[flyingeros]

rubytuesdaysummers​:

“Wrennikins - all I’m saying would it kill them to boost the morale around here? Get some decor from party city or something.” she threw her hands up. “ouuuuu - I do love a good dorm party and I can wear that sequin get up…this is why I keep you around boo boo.” 

“Party city? When they could just hire a designer and party expert like myself?” Wren chuckled. “And here I thought you kept me around for my incredible personality and my charming good looks.” He said with a dramatic flick of his long dark hair. “You know I’d host one in heartbeat, it’s just the matter of getting Marina out of the dorm... she’s not a big party person and I don’t want her to hate me.”

[flyingeros]

rubytuesdaysummers​:

“This place is majorly bumming me out. There hasn’t been a party in weeks and I know people died I get it but we can’t mourn forever can we?” Ruby might have been a little self involved and ostentatious but her heart was usually in the right place. “I just mean - shouldn’t a disaster like this mean we live life to the fullest?” 

“Ruby, babe. I’m all in with you. But you gotta be a little more careful with what you say and how loud you say it.” Wren said with a chuckle. She was right, it was a little bland around here. He had to go out to the city to party. “Maybe we should host another dorm party? It’s been a while.”

lizxbarton​:

Closed started for @flyingeros​

She’d prefer to be outside, perched somewhere high and people watching as too many of the first years forgot their first lesson about situational awareness.  In other words, they forgot to look up. Liz couldn’t count the number of times she’d startled someone by dropping down from her perch because they’d forgotten that little tidbit. Instead, she sat inside the coffee shop by the window and watched the rain streak down the glass as she drank her coffee.  “At least there’s coffee,” she chuckled as she glanced over the menu to decide if she’d be having something edible with the caffeine jolt.  A shadow fell over her and she lifted her cup in a semi-toast without looking up. “If it’s Wren, good timing. If it’s not, shoo.”

“I am the king of timing.” Wren joked as he slid into the booth. Since he was normally extremely late. Sitting across from her, coffee in hand. He sipped at it casually and spread out his wings to take up the rest of the booth. A smile on his face as he leaned other it. Folding his arms in front of himself. Pushing the sunglasses up the bridge of his nose, Wren smiled. “So? What’s up, darlin’? Why’d you summon me? I’m in the middle of my Monday hangover.” He spoke like this didn’t happen every few days.

        “You’re easy to love.” She shook her head, turning her gaze away from him momentarily. The words slipped from his lips so easily she didn’t have time to think about what they may imply. Pulling her bottom lip between her teeth she nervously chewed on the skin until she thought of a way to remedy it. “With the wings and all. People love it I’m sure. We can’t all be beautiful though.” As she spoke her tail flicked back and forth, the only indication of the anger she held in her heart. 

They hadn’t spoken much since she disappeared years ago. When they were just kids, the two of them bonded over their physical mutations. He was practically glued to her side. Now with all their time apart, they’d both changed so much. She mentioned that he was easy to love and he glanced up at her. Brows furrowing with confusion. Wondering what she meant by that before she continued speaking. The implication that she wasn’t beautiful hit him as sharp as an arrow to his heart. Wren leaned a little closer to her and stared into her yellow eyes “Do people still say that to you? You know they’re wrong, right? You’ve always been beautiful.” 

[flyingeros]

miraofatlantis​:

“Yeah…” Mira nodded gently, unable to understand even now how he could be so kind to her after the things that she’d done. He didn’t seem to care at all what was in her past, in fact, and she almost envied how easily he had managed to move past it when it felt as though she was still chained to her mistakes. “Miss you?” she pretended to be confused, raising a brow. “Who are you again?” she teased, her smile growing into a larger grin as she rolled her eyes playfully. Of course she has missed him but she couldn’t bring herself to admit it out loud. Couldn’t acknowledge the way that he had invaded her every thought while he’d been gone. “That’s cool. I’m glad you had some quality bonding time” she nodded, smiling still. She remembered when she used to practice her powers with her father when he had the time, the look on his face at parent’s night shooting a new pool of guilt into her stomach as she shook her head, deciding to focus on Warren instead. “To fly?”

She still seemed a little off but he figured he just wasn’t trying hard enough to brighten her mood. Mira began to tease him and Warren’s cocky grin only widened. The corners of his eyes crinkling with delight. “Very funny. I know you like me and it’s just a matter of time before you admit it.” Wren told her like it was an inevitable fact. He leaned forwards almost mischievously before speaking, “I would have rather had some quality bonding time with you.” His father would forgive him for that one- he was the one he learnt all his lines from anyway. Warren nodded his head “Yeah! Have you ever been in the sky before?” He asked her gently. “I’ve had a lot of loves... but the sky was my very first love. You’ve never known freedom until you’ve been up there. I’m always my happiest when I’m flying. Before you get too spooked. I’m very strong. I’ve only ever dropped one person... and they deserved it.”
