I cannot close my eyes—fear stands over me instead of sleep.
❝ okay but you just let me know when clothes are done in the dryer and i'll come get them. ❞ he wasn't gonna let her come down here alone, not when she was so spooked. ❝ wait — ❞ peter drops his voice to a whisper, but it echos off the inside of the machine, reverberating through the walls of his skull, ❝ is this room like ... that weird book we've been looking into ? ❞
peter hauls himself out of the washer, accidentally slamming his head into the top of it with a loud bang. the machine makes a loud chug chug chug as he moans and groans, rubbing the back of his head to get the ringing to stop. ❝ that didn't hurt at all. you didn't ask but ... if you're curious. it didn't. ❞ real smooth. ❝ i'm not gonna say no to free food. what are you feeling ? ❞
&. relief is running water, holy + sweet. vera thinks she'll answer any of his questions, any of them at all, once they get out of here. once it means peter is alive for just one more day. just one more. perhaps vera has gone greedy with the time she demands ----------- it'd be better for her to cut ties, let him go, and yet.
and yet.
❝ anything, ❞ desperate, word hot on her tongue, her fingers curl around his wrist and she tugs, holds on even though death hangs on their heels. something curls a shadowed finger around the front of the washing machine as she looks over her shoulder, and vera thinks she'll just let it keep her clothes. once they're outside, and the new york city streets smell like gasoline and roasting peanuts, vera allows herself an exhale. she hasn't let go of his wrist. ❝ i don't know if it was like the book. i don't know what it --------- it's complicated. ❞

which aesthetic™ colour are you? forest green. you're in your own world, spinning fictions and building realities and finding the poetry in ordinary things. the people around you can tell there's something special to you, and you're well-loved by a some very good people. but even to your closest friends, you're a bit of a mystery. this always surprises you to hear, because you don't mean to put walls up-- you just get so caught up in things nobody else sees that you forget to let yourself be seen. you're complicated, and sometimes you get tangled in it. don't worry, though, it's not off-putting; despite your accidental air of mystery, your warmth can be seen like a campfire through distant trees.

Roman snorts and turns away, crossing to the window. "No, babe, I'm a fuckin' -- complex individual, I'm way more than just my incredibly handsome face." When he looks back over his shoulder, he shoots her a grin. "That's what I'm supposed to say, yeah?"

( @lapinecide 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓: ) ‘ this ground is founded on fear. '
how the truth holds weight. hanging heavy around the nape, 𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 worn shoulder blades. it takes a bookshelf's edge to hold nikolai's body perpendicular, arms slithered closed to chest. the town to him is new, obscure ( it's undiscovered 𝚖𝚘𝚗𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚜 𝚑𝚞𝚗𝚐𝚎𝚛 makes the slayer nauseous, ill to the stomach. ) what other place to begin than with the origins ⎯⎯ a town's written bloodline. ❝ y'really think so ? ❞ voice 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝘀 with gentle intrigue, eyebrow raised. 𝙸𝙽 𝙶𝙾𝙳'𝚂 𝙷𝙾𝙽𝙴𝚂𝚃 𝚃𝚁𝚄𝚃𝙷, fear bites at the edge of lips, to speak too loudly may result in the femme shattering like glass. alter boy instincts can't help but remember: 𝚙𝚜𝚊𝚕𝚖𝚜 𝟸𝟹:𝟺 ( & yet, where was the promised comfort ? ) nagging curiosity takes aim, however, ❝ what's got you sayin' that ? ❞
&. when the devil calls, who listens ? it is not the sinners, see ----------------- the devout hold more weight here. godly and pious, clinging to their fear / clutched pearls betwix fingers. vera's own trembled digits come to brush gently over book spine, so delicate as if it could crumble. ❝ can't you feel it ? ❞ eerie is the rabbit with the faraway tone, voice so soft it comes a hum. lost, past - drenched.
something hungers, here. it makes everything else afraid.
carefully, her touch retreats from the aging pages. she feels the swell of her thumb with the promise of paper cut and her nose crinkles, finger to mouth. rust and copper, metallic. eyes seek her companion. ( this is my blood, which will be given up for you. ) vera shrugs. ❝ this wasn't always a library. ❞

😘 ( y'know .... like all friends totally do ) , @wallcrawld .
&. the thing with decisions is they have to happen quickly for them to really have a sharp impression. when you plan for things, there's almost a grace period. a trial. you expect, and you wait, and you know. you know.
vera doesn't know anything here, except that peter is warm. he is warm, and close, and it isn't all that uncommon for space to be shared between them, but there's something about the nervous pull of his mouth, the hover of his hand at her hip, the way he leans in, quiet and spooked.
the office was a bad idea. she knows that now. they hadn't accounted for the late - night janitor, hadn't thought about repercussions. they've been getting really good at sneaking about, and slipped. it happens.
what doesn't happen usually is peter's quiet apology, and the press of a mouth to hers. his mouth, specifically. what doesn't happen usually is a flutter in her belly, sweet and aching, or the curl of her fingers into his flannel. dread settles, too, some kind of fear for his life, but for just one moment, for just one moment everything is rose - tinted, pretty. the footsteps fade into obscurity and she's embarrassed to know that she chases his mouth as he pulls away. just a little.
❝ that was ----------- um ----------- ❞ her fingers touch her mouth, but vera's eyes never leave his. it's almost too dark to see anything but the shine of his gaze. dazed, she half reaches forward, her fingers bumping his chin. ❝ good thinking, if anyone were to find us, we just look [ ... ] um. are they still there ? should we ----- ❞ again, again ?
