captain.

It's the very first breath, when your head's been drowning underwater. And it's the { l i g h t n e s s } in the air, when you're there chest to chest with a lover. It's holding on, though the road's long and seeing light in the darkest things. And when you stare at your reflection finally knowing who it is.

     “i don’t blame them..” he was just full of himself, there was no better phrase for it. he knew he looked good, and did everything to show that to everyone else. why would he dance around it? “no, no!! we’ll go out next week. it’s just me and you tonight, baby.” she made the plans. he wasn’t fucking around with them because she wanted to do something else. that was truly fine with him as long as he could treat her next week. “the best part about you bringing pyjamas is that you don’t need them? you could have taken anything from my wardrobe.. but we all know i’d prefer you in nothing anyway.” windsor grinned, “i actually think there’s still a pair of your sweatpants around here somewhere.” he was totally down to start having bits and pieces of her things back in his room. he weirdly missed having to poke around her clothes to find his own, it just meant she was always on his mind. “it really doesn’t.. you’ve always looked so good and i don’t think i’ve ever seen your weight change… ever.”

Mare rolled her eyes playfully, used to the other’s behaviour. She wouldn’t have wanted him any other way. “ I bet you don’t,” she replied with a grin. Despite all her teasing they both knew she would be the firs person to defend Win to anyone else. “Alright if your sure,” she wanted him happy, she didn’t really care about anything else. They could have been in a room of a hundred people and he would have still held all of her attention. She was too wrapped up in him for her own good at this point. “ I didn’t wanna assume...” she began to reply before colour filled her cheeks and she moved to shove the other with her palm. she’d never been too great when it came to the flirting side of things, especially when mare had had a week to miss it. “I wouldn’t be surprised,” she spoke, shifting slightly so that she was sat beside the other, barely any distance between the two of them at all. “ I was always leaving things here,” still she made a mental note to pick out one of Win’s shirts to change into later. “And you spend all you time staring at my body do you Win?” she asked, smirk dancing on her lips. “It really is a good job you’re my boyfriend,”

windsorcage:

     “i do know it.. it’s very true.” he grinned, shaking his head as if to say he was joking. but he definitely wasn’t. windsor wasn’t afraid to say how happy he was with how he looked and was far from having a low self esteem. it was a joy almost to be so open and confidence, even if he got called out for it - plus, he used it to his advantage a lot of the time anyway. “i prefer like.. will smith.” he shrugged, going along with the joke as much as he could. “i mean.. it’s a shame that you got dressed up just for me. i love it. obviously.. but i want to show you off.. haven’t been able to do that in a while.” there was nothing he wanted more than to just get dressed up too – he was welcoming that with open arms. hopping onto his bed once he turned on the tv, he fell back against the mattress as she had, his eyes lighting up at the snacks. “he just cares.. plus it’s the holidays.. training and eating good again can start in a few more days. eat to your hearts content and let daddy fatten you up.” 

Mare couldn’t help but laugh, relaxing in a way that she had been unable to over the past few days. The girl loved the holidays it was true, but when your family was as chaotic as her’s it could get draining at the best of times. “Is it really a wonder why people call you modest?” she teased. Win’s personality burned like a wildfire, it seemed only right that he should have the confidence to match. “Maybe we should put Men In Black on instead then,” she commented. Her gaze falling to the bed momentarily as the boy spoke. “well if you want to that much, we can go out tonight, forget the movie,” Mare could never deny Win anything, so if he wanted to go out they would. “I mean we have plenty of time, we could probably do both... I brought my pjs because I sort of figured I’d end up staying over,” It was odd but before a month ago such things would have been considered normal, in fact she would have already had clothes in the room, now it was something she felt the need to dance around. “When i’m out of shape when classes start I’m going to blame you both, it does take effort to keep this body up remember?”

windsorcage:

     “i look good wearing sweatpants and a hoodie? i look like i’m sick or i’m going to the gym or dance class.” he laughed. his strength could come in handy from time to time, but it wasn’t like he had to use it often on the girl – she was light as hell without it.  “i mean, i can’t complain either. charlie hunnam is unreal.” he played along, nodding in an exaggerated manner before rolling his eyes. he didn’t know the actor well enough to identify him, but if she liked it because of him? he was fine with that. as long as he didn’t have to watch star wars, that was perfect. the kiss should have completely thrown him off but he had noted the way her eyes fell to his lips. she had done that at the very beginning and now she was doing it months later – it was fulfilling to him to know he still had that affect on her. “then this time next week.. we both get dressed up and go out for food. how ‘bout that?” windsor smiled, leaning down to meet her lips happily as he lifted her again and gently tossed her onto his bed with a chuckle. “what snacks have you got?"  

“you look good in just about everything and you know it,” Mare replied with a grin, to her Windsor was always going to be able to take her breath away, it was a side effect of loving the boy as much as she did.  “Oh yeah? Is he your man crush Win?” she asked jokingly, they both knew that she was just teasing, besides it’s what he deserved after hating on star wars the way he had. “you really want to take me out to dinner don’t you,” she commented raising a brow at the other. “Still you know I can’t say no to you,” It was one of the reasons she loved him, the fact he was unafraid to spoil her, or push her when the girl was being a little timid. She kissed him once more before landing, admittedly not very gracefully on the bed. “I should have known you’d care more about your stomach than me,” she replied exaggeratively. “I got you your favourites, and then some chips for me, because I’ve already eaten far too much today... y’know how my Dad gets around the holidays,”

[maryannhqs]

windsorcage:

      “i dunno the last time i saw you in a dress.. but you’re stunning.” she was with or without the dress. he’d have her in that or her training outfit any day of the week as long as she was happy. “do you feel special?” he raised a brow, his hands trailing down the fabric as he pressed a kiss against her nose in admiration. “i would have put on a nice shirt and got a shower if i knew you were going to surprise me.. but i guess… that’s why a surprise exists, right?” windsor laughed, not hesitating to lift her in the air so he could walk back into his room and close the door between the two. “i always fall asleep at the force awakens.. pacific rim? please?” win pouted, slowly letting her slide down his body so her feet could touch the ground again. “you sure you don’t want to go out though?”

The girl’s grin grew impossibly wider as the other spoke, noting how much she had missed the sound of his voice over the past few days. The feeling of his touch, was heaven especially in small moments like this. Mare nodded before then gigging as the other kissed her nose. “you look good no matter what your wearing baby don’t worry, the focus is supposed to be on you,” Mare squealed as the other lifted her into the air, no matter how many times he might have done it, the action always took her by surprise. Simply she was used to doing the lifting not being lifted. “I’m going to pretend that i didn’t hear you say that. Still sci-fi, action, romance, and Charlie Hunnam how can I possibly complain,” she smirked teasingly as she found her footing once more, enjoying the closeness between them. Her eyes then trailed to his lips before she stood on her toes and pulled him into a kiss. “I got all dressed for you I really don’t care about anything or anyone else... besides I can’t really do that in public,”

MY BOY:

    his eyes widened at the girl in front of him, frozen in place as his arms wrapped around her. “—did we have date night plans? because if so… i’ve forgot and that makes me the terrible, neglectful boyfriend.”  he thought the complete opposite of her really. she was the best girlfriend and he knew she had been busy with school work and spending time with her own family, he certainly wasn’t holding that against her. he knew he’d eventually get some free time with her and apparently, now was the time. “you look beautiful..” windsor whispered as he pulled away, his hands still planted on her waist as he took in the outfit. “are we going out? do i need to get changed?” he asked quickly, glancing down at her bag with a smile. so they were staying in for the night. “what movie are we watching then?”

Mare couldn’t help but let out a giggle at the boy’s reaction, shaking her head as she held on to him for a few moments longer. “What? oh, oh no,” she replied quickly. “I just wanted to get dressed up and feel special,” the girl shrugged, a dusting of blush covering her cheeks. Maryann was used to being in her training outfits, or sports clothes, not dresses. Mare wanted tonight to be special though, a moment for them away from everything. “Thank you baby,” she replied gently, letting go of the other slightly, hands coming to play with the hair at the base of his neck. She shook her head as he asked if they were going out, then grinned as he realised her plan without her even having to say anything to him. “I’ve got a few options, though my vote’s going for Pacific Rim, or Force Awakens,”

[maryannhqs]

@windsorcage It was mid afternoon as the eighteen year old girl came to stand outside her boyfriend’s dorm room, dressed up as if they might might have been going out rather than simply having a night to themselves. Still it was nice to feel pretty for once and she knew he’d appreciate the effort. In the bag clutched at her side the girl had everything they were possibly going to need, food, a movie and the like showing how much thought she had put in. Mare knocked on the door gently waiting for the other to answer before then throwing her arms around his neck, a grin filling her features simply from the sight of him. “hey babe,” she greeted gently. “I’ve been a terrible, neglectful girlfriend so I though I ought to try and make it up to you,”

[maryannhqs]

Reese I thought you might want something cute for the next time we go out and you have to sneak me into a night club.  Happy Christmas sis xo @reeserogers

[maryannhqs]

Dear Sarah, so the first thing I thought we could share between the three of us. The second is to keep you warm while your studying or we have a movie night and the final one is to make sure you always look as glamorous as I think you are. Happy Christmas big sis xo @itsxsarahrogers

[maryannhqs]

Kali, Kali, Kali, so I may have gone a little overboard when it came to getting you presents. I just wanted to remind you how awesome you are, without being too cheesy about the whole thing. Remeber you are one of my favorite people ever! Happy Christmas babe xo @ftkali

[maryannhqs]

Buck,  Ok so this may actually be one of my better present ideas. Firstly I got you a couple of new journals since I figured you’d need them eventually. Secondly I thought you spend so long writing out your own memories I might as well do some of mine. On the letters inside you’ll find my account of some of the messes we got into when I was kid.

Happy Christmas xo @hxwlingcommandx

[maryannhqs]

Just something I thought you could put in your office, and you can never go wrong with a new shoes right? Merry Christmas Mom xo @professorscarter

[maryannhqs]

I don’t think this really needs much explanation. I was stuck between two presents so just kind of ended up getting both of them. I promise not to steal your new jacket too much. I love you!  Happy Christmas baby xo @windsorcage

Merry Christmas @maryannhqs

Merry Christmas @maryannhqs !

two beautifully wrapped boxes, one is on the smaller side and one is on the larger side. in the larger box are a pair of heels that from a certain angle look normal but in fact, they are a weapon. in the smaller box are a bunch of high end lipsticks. this gift giver does not understand the meaning of ‘small’.

IRON FIST:

He could feel her apprehension wafting off of her as he looked to the young girl. This confused him slightly, as it wasn’t as though he was going to roundhouse kick her in the face or something of the like. “Miss Rogers,” he replied with a small smile and a curt nod, lowering the knife. “I can’t say I have, but I’m sure if you were to ask Jim Bean, Jose Cuervo, or even Captain Morgan, they may be able to help you a bit better, unfortunately for both of us.”

Mare tended to avoid the members of the defenders where she could, it was silly she knew, but they were Win’s family, and frankly the girl had no idea what they thought of her. “Oh,” She responded to the other, to say she was taken aback by the comment would be an understatement. “Do you know if he’s been drinking again?” Maryann asked seriously. “Because if he has I’m really going to kick his ass,”
