⋙     [   ♮   ]  He wanted to say something, that          this was a prime example of why she could          do better than him.  He hurt her ( she said          so! ) even when he thought he was just           asking a question – one that, he thought,           wouldn’t hurt any one but himself.  But he          fucked that up too, and now he made          Aurelia – his moon and stars, the light of          his life – just as upset.

         [   ♮   ]  But he couldn’t speak.  The moment          she curled up to him, held him, he lost his          words.  His arms wrapped around her           before she had even finished speaking,           clutching onto her too tight, as if she’d slip          away any time now.

         [   ♮   ]  He buried his face in her hair.  He          could still smell her shampoo, and their          pillows.  Even if she took what she said as          truth, he had still hurt her through this          exchange and… he couldn’t help shake          his useless feelings.

         [   ♮   ]  ❝ I’m sorry… ❞ was all he could          manage, and the words came out as           something of a croak.  If it was possible,          he hugged her tighter as sobs shook          his shoulders.

{ ✎ } “You should be.” She said softly, almost instantly regretting it. With a little sigh, Aurelia carefully unfurled her fist grabbing at his clothes. “It... I love you, and I’m here for you because I love you.”

{ ✎ } “You’re not keeping me from anything. I don’t mind reassuring you, or comforting you... None of that is annoying to me. None of that is needy or... A-And it just...” The words started to jumble themselves up in her head, and all her sentences felt like they were running ahead of her before she could speak them. It was so frustrating, normally this wasn’t a problem! The problem was forgetting the words.

{ ✎ } Seth’s sobs shook her small frame with him, and she instantly started trying to calm him down. “Shhh.... Shhh.... Don’t cry, Setty... I’m not mad, just...”

{ ✎ } What was she again? A cocktail of emotions she couldn’t pin down and describe. Right. Perfect.

{ ✎ } “... Just kind of sad? I... Did I do something to make you think I don’t... Care or... Love you, or..?” Reaching a hand up, she twirled her fingers around his fiery, soft hair. 

{ ✎ } “Talk to me, when you can, please...”

⋙     [   ♮   ]  He couldn’t keep himself from           glancing up at her as she answered him.          She seemed shocked, hurt, upset…          Even if her answer was no, after another          round of all his insecurity dragging her          down, it would surely be a yes.

         [   ♮   ]  Seth moved one hand to grab          the one she placed on his shoulder,           holding it closer to his chest and gently          rubbing the back of her hand with his          thumb.

         [   ♮   ]  ❝ I’m… annoying.  I-I always          need this reassurance and…  Y-you          have to go out of your way so I’m          okay… ❞   He swallowed, and it hurt.          ❝ Y-you could have any one, so I          hafta just be…  holding you back. ❞

         [   ♮   ]  His fingers wrapped tighter          around her hand, his free hand moving          to cover his mouth as he let out a gross          sob.  ❝ You could have some one          normal, ‘Relia.  Th-that didn’t…  leave          you alone once a month, or…  do-          doesn’t jump during action movies…          Or… ❞

         [   ♮   ]  Seth let go of her hand.  He           didn’t want to, but he could already          tell it was gross to touch him.

         [   ♮   ]  ❝ I’m needy, annoying,          stupid, and weird… ❞

[hoarding-notebooks-blog]

{ ✎ } It was weird, to feel a kind of hurt anger like this. She didn’t know how to deal with it, or process it other than frown and give Setty such a sad look. 

{ ✎ } She let him talk, sob, and try to hold her hand. She felt terrible for pulling it away, but right now, she didn’t even know what to do with her hands. Aurelia wasn’t prepared to deal with this, to deal with something that attacked something she didn’t mind doing. Things she did out of love.

{ ✎ } How do you prove to someone that it’s not a burden to love them? 

{ ✎ } Carefully taking his arm, Aurelia lifted it and put it around her shoulders. From there, she cuddled up to his side and hugged him tightly. “Stop it.” She said into his shoulder, shortly before burying her face into it.

{ ✎ } Grabbing at his shirt, she took a deep breath-- His scent was comforting, something strong and pleasant-- and gave a shaky sigh after a moment.  

{ ✎ } “It... It hurts, Setty. You saying this... I love you. I love you so much...” Biting her lip, she tried to choose her words carefully. It was hard, now she had felt like everything she had done so far was wrong. Setty wouldn’t think any of this otherwise, right?

{ ✎ } “A-and... Because I love you, I’m here for you. You’re not holding me back, h-how..” She shook her head lightly, not bothering to move the hair that moved into her freckled face. “You’re not annoying, or weird... Or stupid, o-or...”

{ ✎ } “You’re not any of those things... Stop it.”

[lyrics-by-moonlight-blog]

⋙     [   ♮   ]  So he had cried a bit.  And          it had been so long since he cried          out of fear like that, too.  He had           just hoped to find some more time          to cool off before Aurelia came           home….  Maybe if he hid it, every-          thing could feel like before he           decided he was hurting her.

         [   ♮   ]  ❝ N-no, it’s… ❞ his voice          was thick, forewarning sobs           would soon replace his words.          Again.

         [   ♮   ]  He couldn’t meet her           face.  ❝ W-will you… puh-          please be honest… ❞

         [   ♮   ]  He paused, taking in a          deep breath an exhaling, trying          to compose himself.

         [   ♮   ]  ❝ A-am I… k-keeping          you from… F-from being          happy…? ❞

         [   ♮   ]  It wasn’t such a stretch,          really.  Seth, with his paranoia          and anxiety, and the way he           flinched whenever the TV played          any sound similar to a gunshot…          Which, was a lot with her gaming.          He’d usually just end up          interrupting her, curling up and          resting his head on her lap.  When          he could see they were fake, it          was better but…  She’d be happier          if he didn’t do any of that.  It’d          be a fitting metaphor to apply to           the rest of their relationship, for          sure.

[hoarding-notebooks-blog]

{ ✎ } She tried to move to look at his face better, and it seemed that he was deliberately refusing to face her. Blinking and leaning back, she waited anxiously for the words to come out of his mouth. 

{ ✎ } Gently, she put a hand on his shoulder and squeezed it. Aurelia didn’t have a clue of what to do, she wasn’t there when he got upset. Normally, she was right there to comfort him, to hug him and assure him everything was fine--

{ ✎ } With a gasp, she took her hand back and covered her mouth with it. “Wh... S-Setty...” His words hurt. Trying not to look too upset (and failing, by the way she breathed in to try and compose herself), she looked away and tried to pick what words she’d say.

{ ✎ } And she wanted to say a lot of things.

{ ✎ } “No.” She said firmly, looking back at him. Pushing some of her curls back, Aurelia pouted a bit. “No, you’re not keeping me from being happy.”

{ ✎ } “What brought this on?” Her voice cracked. “I...” 

{ ✎ } She clamped her mouth shut, and tried to look at his features for any clues or... Anything, anything that would tell her something.

{ ✎ }  “ Setty? Setty, what’s wrong..?” He looked so dismal and shaken up, completely unlike the Setty that had just been texting her moments before she left the store. He had playfully reminded her to get a few things, and remarked that she wouldn’t dare skip going to the pet aisle for him.

{ ✎ }  “ I was only kidding about the pet aisle thing...” That never made him upset before, why now..?  “ I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings if I did...”

{ ✎ } With a small pout on her lips, she tried to read his eyes-- His pretty, moon-colored eyes. But she just found they were puffy from either tears he’d shed or was about to shed.

Tagged by: @lyrics-by-moonlight

TAGGING: well everyone else i’d want to do it has already been tagged so ;v;

TASTES: Oranged-flavored anything, but not the fruit itself. Barbecue-styled anyfood, smoked and charred with the taste of fire. Soft-serve ice cream and airy sweets. Desserts topped with whipped cream. Designer chocolates. Cookie dough. 

SMELLS: An old book, and new books. The smell of ink from a cheap pen. Bonfire smoke and the twilight. The seasonal smells-- Mostly spring and autumn. Light lotions and bath soaps that say they’re ‘peaches and cream’ scented. Candles, not always lit. Smoke from a fire, or grill, never from a cigarette.

SIGHTS: Piles of books and notebooks. Piles of pens and pencils. The soft light of dawn, mostly with a soft orange tinge. Dirty/old metal. Glasses on things, not people. Looking up at a cloudy sky. Post cards and mail. 

OUTFITS: Pastel dresses and flats. Dangling earrings with jewels in them. Friendship and charm bracelets. Sunhats and big sunglasses. Nice heels that hardly anyone can afford. Simple rings and rings fit for engagements. Purses that look like they’re fit for adventure. Sandals with flowers on them.

SOUNDS: Quiet snoring. The sound of shifting to get comfortable on a couch. Pen on paper. Pencil on paper. Turning pages. Tapping the end of a pen on a desk. Creaky wooden chairs. Bonfires in the middle of summer. Muffled music. Clicking tongues. The sound of a kiss. Quiet giggles. 

OTHER: Walking on tip-toes. The feel of scales. Pastel monster teeth. Provoked reptiles. Claws grabbing things. The outline the moon makes on things outside. Blue hour / Gold Hour.

something real || setty&aurelia

[lyrics-by-moonlight-blog]

⋙     [   ♮   ]  Seth blushed instantly at Aurelia’s explanation of           her boots.  If she had been in such a hurry, she must have           been really excited to hang out with him…  Butterflies were           conglomerating in his stomach again.  He was in deep.

          [   ♮   ]  He set everything down on the edge of the shade,           careful to keep the towels from touching the sand.  He didn’t           know about her, but it’d be pretty gross to get covered in            sand.

          [   ♮   ]  He was rather inordinately excited to get as close           to Aurelia as they had just been, so he was sloppy and quick           with taking off his shirt and applying the most carefree sun-           screen he could.

          [   ♮   ]  But who could blame him?  The cutest girl in the world           was waiting ( in a swimsuit! ) for him, after all.  He hurried to           join her in the water, thoughtfully tossing her discarded boots           further away.  He didn’t think she’d want them to float away,           after all.

          [   ♮   ]  As soon as he was in, he waded over to Aurelia.           ❝ Hey, ❞ he said.  ❝ Not gross any more? ❞

[hoarding-notebooks-blog]

{ ✎ }  She wiggled her clawed toes and shimmied around in the water, both enjoying the soft sand and kicking a little cloud of it up. Looking up, she found Setty wading in and couldn’t help but grin. Aurelia had an irrational fear that he had some sort of rippling six-pack and would judge her and some of the faint lines forming around her tummy and thighs. 

{ ✎ }  “ Nope!” She answered cheerfully, pushing her hair back from her face. “Ohhh my gosh, Setty, the water feels amazing, doesn’t it?” With a giggle, she took a little water in her cupped hand and splashed it at his chest. It was then that she noticed his haphazardly applied sunscreen.

{ ✎ }  She tilted her head and give a little sigh. “ You didn’t even get your shoulders, silly! C’mere, you’re not gonna want those burned.” She motioned him to come closer with a wave of her hand.  “ I remember going to an amusement part with my dad once, and we didn’t think to put sunscreen on me and ohhhhh boy, I couldn’t move an inch for a week.”

husbandos ~ Setty&&Aurelia

[lyrics-by-moonlight-blog]

⋙     [   ♮   ]  ❝ What show was this? ❞

          [   ♮   ]  He tilted his head to one side.  If he could think           of a show he liked, maybe he’d find a satisfying answer           to Aurelia’s question.  But… He didn’t watch much TV,           especially not without Aurelia watching with him.

          [   ♮   ]  ❝ Oh no, this wasn’t that one cartoon you tried           to get me to watch with you, was it? ❞  All of a sudden,           his tone made it clear he was disappointed with himself.           ❝ But I fell asleep and missed the whole thing…  That           guy looked familiar, I should’ve known. ❞ 

          [   ♮   ]  He sighed.  ❝ I-I dunno, you know I don’t really           watch TV…  But I guess…  I like the girls that can kick           butt!  Y-you know?  Um…  I’ll try to think of something           else, too. ❞

[hoarding-notebooks-blog]

{ ✎ }  “ It was, but that’s okay! I know TV tends to put you to sleep, so I just tucked you in.” 

{ ✎ }  Putting a reassuring hand on his, Aurelia smiled gently at him. There was no way she could be mad at him, he at least tried to watch something with her, which meant the world to her.  “ Hey, at least you recognized him!” She tried to cheer him up a little, since he’d probably beat himself up a little bit on the inside.

{ ✎ }  “ Oh! Oh! I know a lot of ladies that can kick butt, lemme show you one of my favorites!” She immediately began typing something in, and she quickly hand-picked one particular image.

{ ✎ }  “ Her! She’s perfect, and kicks butt, and looks so pretty too!” Aurelia gave a dreamy sigh. “Buuut I dunno about her being your wife... She’s kind of hardcore, and you’re kinda delicate, like a peach.”

[hoarding-notebooks-blog]

husbandos ~ Setty&&Aurelia

[lyrics-by-moonlight-blog]

[   ♮   ]  ❝ That’s… okayy. ❞

[   ♮   ]  Setty sighed.  Aurelia was so cute, but suddenly –  ❝ I’m between a rock and a hard place, love, ❞ he said, gently touching his head to hers.  ❝ Because firstly, there’s no cuter wife than you.  And theeen, you want me to describe the perfect wife?  But she can’t be you?  So how can she be the perfect wife?  How did you get your husband? ❞

[hoarding-notebooks-blog]

{ ✎ } Setty had a way of saying things that just made her giggle, and typically once that train got going, it never stopped. 

{ ✎ } "Weelll~” She began, kissing his nose. “I saw him enter, brooding, and as I got to know him, his deep, dark backstory enticed me because of my debilitating weakness for broody characters like him.” With a small, confident huff, she continued.

{ ✎ } “And that is when I decided and claimed he would be my husband. No good wives from that show, which is sad...” The blonde pouted, giving Setty sad puppy eyes. Although she knew that wouldn’t phase him, he was the champion and king of sad puppy eyes.

{ ✎ } “So, basically... What kind of characters do you like a lot, paired with do they look cute. That’s how I got my other husband.”

something real || setty&aurelia

[lyrics-by-moonlight-blog]

[   ♮   ]  ❝ I can do that, ❞ he replied, giving a lopsided grin.  He squeezed her hand, part of his worry abated.  He wasn’t as nearly as creative as Wes was with the pet names he gave Winter, but maybe he could think of a few cute ones…  

[   ♮   ]  Her small stumble caught his immediate attention, and he moved to wrap his arm around her, trying to steady her.  Once she was righted, he grinned, blushing at how close they had been.  ❝ That’s alright, ❞ he said.  ❝ But isn’t it a little hot for the boots? ❞  Seth himself was just wearing a pair of flip flops that Wes hated because they had to fix them with super glue at least twice.

[   ♮   ]  ❝ Oh, uh, yeah, I can do that – ❞ He glanced around, looking for a shady part like Aurelia had mentioned.  He didn’t really want to be in the shade, especially since the only parts around were far away from the water line, but he wanted to get some because she had mentioned it.  ❝ Let me take your stuff too, though. ❞

[hoarding-notebooks-blog]

{ ✎ } Although part of her expected Setty to help her after her stumble, Aurelia was shocked when he actually helped steady her. Giggling at the feel of his arm around her, she flashed the red-head a grin and leaned into him. 

{ ✎ }  Although she’d rather stay close to him like that for a while longer, the mention of her boots made her straighten up. They were so icky on the inside now...

{ ✎ }  “It is, but I took too long with my suit and towel and they were the first things I managed to grab.” She lied with a shy smile.  Offering him her beach bag and towel, Aurelia felt a blush at the sudden warm air around her legs.  “I’m gonna go rinse out the insides in the water. They’re all gross now.”

{ ✎ }  With a playful giggle, she stuck out her tongue and made a beeline for the water. Once it got past her boots, Aurelia sighed in relief. The water felt so nice on a day like today. It was funny to her that heat bothered her, all things considered.

{ ✎ }  When the water hit her waist, Aurelia slipped her boots off and let her clawed toes sink into the sand. There weren’t enough words to make a coherent sentence about how nice it felt. Wishing she could revel in it a little longer, Aurelia had to get to work rinsing out the insides and futility trying to toss them back to shore.

{ ✎ } Those boots were garish and old enough that the blonde didn’t really care if they washed away, anyway.

[lyrics-by-moonlight-blog]

something real || setty&aurelia

[lyrics-by-moonlight-blog]

[   ♮   ]  Setty could feel his face heating up as Aurelia took his hand, he grinned regardless, glad to see she hadn’t been mad about the errant text Wes sent in his stead.  That didn’t mean he couldn’t find other things to worry about, though.

[   ♮   ]  ❝ Hope so, ❞ he answered.  ❝ I burn really easily.  Do you need sunscreen?  I brought sunscreen. ❞

[   ♮   ]  He followed Aurelia towards the beach, grinning and making several glances to her pretty face between watching where he was going.  He bit his lip, mind already ruminating on what he would worry about next, but decided to at least voice it.

[   ♮   ]  ❝ Ah, Aurelia, wh-when you said it was kind of cute, was…  I dunno, it was a dumb pet name.  Do you even like pet names..? ❞

[hoarding-notebooks-blog]

{ ✎ } His concern touched her. Looking down, she tried (and failed) to hide her growing grin, which was now starting to make her cheeks hurt a little. She had brought sunscreen, but...  “ My sunscreen’s kinda old, so I’m glad you brought yours! ”

{ ✎ } As they got towards the beach, she already tried planning out where they would sit. She kind of wanted to be in the shade, but she wanted to be close enough to bee-line into the water and get back to put her boots on. 

{ ✎ } Setty’s question brought Aurelia out of her thoughts. “Oh? Hmm, well I thought it was different, but... I dunno. I haven’t been called any pet names before that.” Shrugging a little, she adjusted her grip on her beach bag. “How about you keep thinking of pet names and I’ll tell you what I like and don’t like? And I can do that for you too?”

{ ✎ } That seemed pretty fair to her. Unfortunately, she didn’t have a lot of time to think on it, tripping over herself and grabbing onto Setty.  “Oh gosh, I’m sorry. I’m clumsy in these... Boots. Ah.. ” Looking out to the beach, she straightened up and smoothed out her towel out of habit. “Do you want to set up your towel and stuff on the beach while I test the water? My hair is practically baking me already.”

[   ♮   ]  Seth chuckled, squeezing her hand after she kissed his cheek.  ❝ Well I’m glad I’m the favorite at least, ❞ he replied, kissing before pressing his cheek to hers.  ❝ But hey, what about me?  Do I get another wife, husband, uh… Which is it today, babe? ❞

{ ✎ } “ Let’s find you a cuter wife.” With a smile, she brought the browser  up and pecked at the keys with her free hand. Aurelia wouldn’t dare let go of Setty’s hand during such an important event. 

{ ✎ } Bringing up a simple looking site, she grabbed the mouse and turned to Setty.  “ Describe the perfect wife to me, and I will do my best to find your waifu.” With a giggle, she added,  “ And it’s cheating if you describe me. I don’t even think there’s a character out there that even looks like me. Which, that’s pretty fortunate.”

[   ♮   ]  ❝ Uh, yeah, it really would. ❞ Seth squinted at the picture on the screen.  He was pretty sure that was one of the foreign-cartoon guys Aurelia tried to get him to watch once.  But why put a picture of that on a… body pillow?  ❝ Especially becauuuuuse – ❞

[   ♮   ]  He reached over to her left hand, gently tapping the rings on her ring finger.  ❝ I know exactly who gave you those. ❞

{ ✎ }  “ Yes, but he is also my husband. ” She giggled, turning to kiss Setty’s cheek. Aurelia turned her hand, lacing her fingers with his.  “ And it was about time that you two met each other. ”

{ ✎ } Leaning in, Aurelia sighed happily and clicked out of the browser.  “ But don’t tell him that I told you this, buuuuuuut~ ” Another giggle and a kiss on his cheek.  “ You’re my favorite husband. ”
