Hide Your Eyes

Hello. My name is Ralumae Peters, but you can call me Mae. I'm 19, a college freshman. I've been here for what seems like forever. It is very nice to meet you. If you need a tour guide, or any sort of assistance, I would be happy to help. All you have to do is ask. Oh, and by the way, I'm telepathic.

Send me a highly toxic chemical in my ask box.

Acetaldehyde: What did you used to have that you are happier without?

Bromine: What was your favorite food when you were a child?

Cyanogen: If you could choose to stay a certain age forever, what age would it be?

Diazomethane: If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?

Ethylamine: What sound do you love?

Formaldehyde: If you could be any fictional character, who would you choose?

Hexafluoroacetone: What do you want to be when you grow up?

[mae-peters]

[mae-peters]

How are you, Miss Hollis?

Jack shook his sweat and water soaked hair, microphone in hand. With his nose tingling as he jumped around the underground cafe stage, he stepped into the crowd, and held himself steady as they held his legs, watching other people crowd surf. 

“Say what you must, do all you can, Break all the fucking rules and Go to Hell with Superman and Die like a champion, yeah hey!”

[mae-peters]

Mae stood in a corner, away from the stage and the crowd just in case. Her arms crossed in front of her chest, her legs crossed at the ankles, she leaned against the wall and watched with a small sense of fascination. When she saw him step into the crowd, her lips tilted up into a smirk that almost turned into a smile. Though her arms stayed crossed, she cheered from the corner.

Hey buddy!

[mae-peters]

Awww. 

[imkatiebutyouknewthat-deactivat]

Did everyone leave school? Where’s everyone?

[mae-peters]

[mae-peters]

"You do," she told him, still not looking his way. She didn’t want to scare him again.

[angelboyleviticus-blog]

Frowning further he sat down again, wings fluffing up. “I do?” He fell silent before whispering more to himself the to Mae. “I don’t mean t-to.” 

[mae-peters]

Her hands paused over the keys for a second, then she looked at him. She started playing again. Her lips pulled up into a slow smile. "It's okay."

[mae-peters]

Mae sighed and looked down at her hands. She played faster so she would stay calm. “Only because you push us all away.”

[angelboyleviticus-blog]

"I d-don’t." he argued frowning; eyebrows drawing together. 

[mae-peters]

"You do," she told him, still not looking his way. She didn't want to scare him again.

[mae-peters]

Without missing a beat or looking over at him again, Mae let her hands continue the song. “Yes you do,” she said, “this place is home. You have a home and a family here, Levi. All you have to do is stop rejecting it. All of us.”

[angelboyleviticus-blog]

Levi frowned and shook his head. “I don’t h-have a home.” he repeated standing. “Or a f-family.”

[mae-peters]

Mae sighed and looked down at her hands. She played faster so she would stay calm. "Only because you push us all away."

[mae-peters]

"Yeah," she said softly, still playing a cheerful tune to try to make up for the tone of their conversation. "They should… but that doesn’t mean they do." She bit her lip, and looked over at the boy. "You do have a home, Levi." 

[angelboyleviticus-blog]

He hummed along softly to the tune before frowning. “No I-I don’t.”

[mae-peters]

Without missing a beat or looking over at him again, Mae let her hands continue the song. "Yes you do," she said, "this place is home. You have a home and a family here, Levi. All you have to do is stop rejecting it. All of us."

[gravity-has-jack-down-deactivat]

Why’s that? Didn’t you like being in the middle of nowhere with me? 

[mae-peters]

I did, actually... I mean my ability is back to normal. 

[angelboyleviticus-blog]

"Oh…parent’s should l-love their kids; no matter what." he murmured naively fiddling his fingers over the piano keys. "I w-wish I had a-a home." 

[mae-peters]

"Yeah," she said softly, still playing a cheerful tune to try to make up for the tone of their conversation. "They should... but that doesn't mean they do." She bit her lip, and looked over at the boy. "You do have a home, Levi." 

[gravity-has-jack-down-deactivat]

It’s a curse. It rubbed off cause I was touching you so much on that road trip we went on. 

[mae-peters]

Well you don't have to worry about that anymore. 

[gravity-has-jack-down-deactivat]

I’m always cute. 

[mae-peters]

Not always. But sometimes. Like now. 

[gravity-has-jack-down-deactivat]

I said, ”well you know now, don’t you, beautiful?”

[mae-peters]

Oh. So you're back to being cute, huh? 

[gravity-has-jack-down-deactivat]
