she shrugged, offering him a smile, “i don’t know, maybe my spidey senses are trying to tell me something is about to happen,” she joked, since their interactions had seemed to be overwhelmed by everything that was going on with the grudge, something which made her somehow more determined that she would get to spend some time with him. “i would love a drink,” she told him with a nod. “what were you doing all by yourself anyway?”

he chuckled “those are the best senses after all,” he agreed with a smile back. he liked how easily they spoke with each other, how  much they seemed to go together. he moved to the kitchen and took out some water for them “or, i have beer? if you want,” he said with a smile. “i was going stag,” he said shrugging. “good thing i did because then we wouldn’t have been talking, i don’t think..” he said. he moved over to her “what about you?”

[ghoulishbane]

when baby saw his face, she pasted a grin on. the truth was that baby wasn’t feeling the best and she certainly didn’t feel like smiling. after finding out that her father was dead too – that she would actually never know him – baby was struggling with the realisation that she was, for all intents and purposes, rather alone in the world now. she had no real family at all. but baby didn’t know him all that well and at this point, she didn’t think it was a good idea to heap her feelings on anyone else. she was too scared that would prolong how alone she really was. “oh, you were, huh? good things, i hope?” she tilted her head.

he smiled letting her inside, shutting the door “all good things,” he told her. “i’m glad you stopped by, why did you stop by?” he laughed asking now. “not that i mind of course, i was by myself, clearly,” he smiled. he moved closer to her. “it’s weird, you’re here in my place, no mass destruction, no killers at balls,” he said. “what do we actually do now?” he teased. he thought it was different, there was nothing stopping them now, they could just spend some time together. “did you want a drink or something?” he asked.

valentxa:

“Oh thanks,” Val smiled up at the boy beside her. She knew that she was going to smell like coffee all day but it was better than smelling like fries and burgers from her job. “Ice coffee gotta stay away with something cold.” She told him. “Thank you again and it’s okay, it happens.”

“ice coffee, a new cup coming up,” he said smiling. he ordered another one for her, paying. it wasn’t expensive and it was the least he could do. he handed it over once he was given it. ‘here you go’ he said “you alright?”

[ghoulishbane]

ghoulishbane:

‘’ah,’’ she nodded at his respond. ‘’I kinda came stag too, so we’re good.’’ nox sipped on her drink. ‘’so, umm, tell me about yourself?’’ she shook her head at herself, ‘’or I mean, you don’t need to tell me if you don’t want to.’’ she softly laughed.

“that’s cool, it’s alright going stag,” he told her. “it’s fun, you can mingle with people, dance, have fun,” he said. “um, i’m a ghoulie,” he said chuckling “i don’t know what to say, i mean, it’s always hard talking about yourself,’ he laughed.

[ghoulishbane]

“here, let me pay for that, least i can do after knocking it out of your hand,” he said. of course it was an accident but spilled coffee all over their shoes was a shitty thing to have happened. now they were going to smell like coffee everywhere they went. “what kind was it? i’ll get you another.” @valentxa

[ghoulishbane]

‘’I don’t know, kinda,’’ she grinned at him. ‘’you didn’t get asked out though? you look like a guy who’s popular among chicks,’’

“oh you know i can be,” he grinned taking the compliment. “but i didn’t and i didn’t ask,” he shrugged. “it’s alright.”

[ghoulishbane]

bane had been home, he ordered a pizza and he was finishing off his second slice. he felt a bit bored, a bit lonely. he really needed to get out of the house. it was like every time he left though something insane happened outside. he was thinking of one person though, one girl. they happened to run into each other every time something went down and that was kind of interesting to him. he thought about texting her, maybe she’d want to stop by. he looked kind of grungy right now though, would it matter? he stood up, looking for his phone when there was a knock on his door. he walked over, opening it, seeing baby. he chuckled surprised a bit “i was just thinking about you.” @scuthsidebaby

[ghoulishbane]

she gave him a little grin and a nod, “well, thank you very much.” she said brightly, running her hand through her hair. “of course you’re my favourite dude in distress. the hottest girl in the room who also pulled you out of a burning building,” she reminded with a playful wink. “lucky you.” she joked.

he smirked slightly “anytime,” he with ease. he pushed closer to her “that’s right,” he said. “i am one lucky man aren’t i,” he said agreeing. “very lucky me,” he said. “maybe, you want to dance?” he asked but before they could the announcement went off. “oh fuck,” he said. “here, let me save you this time,” he smiled holding his arm out for her.”

[ghoulishbane]

‘’you big on drinks?’’ she asked, ‘’I mean I am big on them, I just can’t keep track of all the names, flavors and that shit..’’ nox shook her head, then got the drink bane had ordered for her. she sipped on it, ‘’by the way, did you came stag? or just lost your date?’’ 

“i mean, some, nothing much really. a drink is a drink to me unless it’s something really gross,’ he said with a shrug. “Stag,’ he said. “is it that obvious?”

[ghoulishbane]

‘’well you would make a hot bartender, and I just assumed since-,’’ she stopped herself from rambling and nodded at the boy, ‘’I would love a drink.’’ nox tried smiling, being nice for once. ‘’nox, nox daube,’’

“i’ll take that compliment then,” he chuckled lightly shaking his head. “alright,” he smiled ordering a drink for her. “nox, pleasure, i’m bane,” he smiled. “bane beaumont.”

[ghoulishbane]

she grinned, doing a little twirl when he told her she looked hot, “i will definitely take that,” she said brightly, brushing a tendril of red curls back. “i suppose hot kinda goes with the red hair too,” she grinned, “as cheesy as that joke is.” she smiled, tipping her head when she spoke. “i’ve been… really good, honestly.” she said slowly, “y’know, just running around saving hot guys in distress.” she told him, “how have you been? you certainly look a lot more put together.”

“yeah there she is,” he grinned when she twirled, giving him an even better view. “good, because it’s true,” he said smirking slightly. “it does, the hair, your body, you’re hot,”he chuckled biting his lip. “yeah?” he asked “that’s good to hear,” he said with ease. “well, hey i better be your favourite one then, clearly i’m the best,” he teased playfully. “i’ve been better yeah, knees all healed and feeling good,” he said. “now i’m here, standing with the hottest girl in the room.”

[ghoulishbane]

scuthsidebaby:

“hey you,” baby said as she approached the familiar face of the boy in front of her. he looked different, of course. seeing someone hurt amongst the rubble of a fire put someone into a different light than a fancy mayoral gala, she supposed. regardless, it was almost refreshing to see him looking like a normal person. “you clean up nice.” she told him brightly.

( @ghoulishbane )

bane turned hearing a familiar voice and he glanced over, giving a grin. he looked her up and down “well shit, so do you. you look so--” he said “hot,” he laughed not being able to deny it. “how have you been? i haven’t seen you since you saved my ass,’ he said moving closer to her now. clearly they both cleaned up pretty well.

[ghoulishbane]

nox chuckled, ‘’well, sounds like a good idea.’’ she nodded agreeing. ‘’and you are? bartender?’’ she asked a bit confused.

“not a bartender i’m attending the ball,” he said. “i can get you a drink,” he chuckled. “my name is bane, you?”

[ghoulishbane]

serpentnoxx:

nox turned around, arching a brow at the boy. ‘’a drink?’’ she smirked curiously. ‘’you could get me five,’’ she insisted, as known she would and she could drink til she saw stars. 

“five,” he laughed “at once? just lined up in a row like that?” he teased her. “let’s start with one and work our way up hm?”

[ghoulishbane]

bane was here alone at the ball, there had been no one to ask but that was okay. maybe he’d find someone to dance, he couldn’t be the only one here alone right? hopefully he didn’t look too sad. he knew he looked good though. “can i get you a drink?” he asked with a small smile on his face. it was the least he could do, of course maybe he was fishing. @serpentnoxx

[ghoulishbane]

she shrugged, “it depends on the person more than anything else. i’ve had an ex call me kitten. occasionally i’ve been called something like baby-cakes or some other variation on my name. i guess if i get babe, it’s always unclear whether it’s a romantic nickname or just a name nickname.” she said with a shrug. “so i guess it’s a weird kind of perspective. and kinda hard to tell sometimes.”

“yeah i like the kitten one, i use that one too,” he said. “see, i couldn’t do that, it would have to be another nickname instead of baby cakes or other variations right, i wouldn’t want someone calling me bane cakes,’ he laughed. “yeah shit i bet, that does sound tricky doesn’t it,” he smiled. “kitten suits you i think,” he grinned.

[ghoulishbane]

she nodded, still propping him up just to be sure, tendrils of pink hair sticking to her face. “you glad it’s all over now? the riot, that is?” she asked slowly, at least hoping that was true.

“yeah i’m glad,” he said “you must be glad too,” he said glancing at her as they walked slowly. he smiled “hopefully theres no other shit.’
