tear in my heart

You have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve And I have always buried them deep beneath the ground Dig them up; let's finish what we've started Dig them up, so nothing's left untouched All of your flaws and all of my flaws, When they have been exhumed We'll see that we need them to be

     Alec started down at the sheet music in his hand, lips pursing slightly as he scanned over the same particular line he had been for the past few minutes. The moment he listened to Anyway by Kerrigan & Lowdermilk, he knew that he had to do his own rendition of the song and had someone adjust the song to fit a key more suitable for his voice. He took in a deep breath and set the paper down before beginning to sing. He was halfway through with the song when his voice cracked, teeth clenching and squelching any sound. This was why he had decided to take a break from his career in the first place, not because he needed an escape. His fist collided with the nearest wall out of frustration. He was a perfectionist to a fault. He stared down at his knuckles at were now bleeding before he noticed he wasn’t alone. “Uh… do you have a bandaid by any chance?” There was no way he was going to address his little outburst if they hadn’t seen it

Spotting her brother had been a surprise, not a bad one, Aria was usually happy to see Alec, but they each had their own things going on, and she wasn’t the type to rearrange her whole schedule just to see someone and catch up. So running into him when she had some free time was a good opportunity if anything, especially given that she had no idea how long Alec would stay in Sparkwood. Or it had felt like a good chance until she watched him punch a wall. She was sure he could hear her tongue click as she walked over to him. “I’ve got all sorts of first aid.” Aria said, staring at Alec as she made no move to reach into her bag. “Are you going to tell me why you just tried to break your hand?”

     Having spent all the money she had earned this week from her two jobs on mere groceries alone, Feyre only had ten dollars in her pocket and an art assignment due within the next week but no supplies. It was almost comical of her to begin to think she could make it through the university’s art program with a scholarship when that scholarship didn’t cover the funds for supplies. Even though she didn’t necessarily condone stealing, she needed to do what she could. If she graduated and was able to get hired for a better job, she could actually adequately provide for her father and two sisters. So there she was, sneaking a paint set into her jacket before she turned and collided with someone else. The paints slipped out of her jacket and fell to the ground, luckily not opening all over the tile flooring. “I… this isn’t what it looks like.” She nervously stepped backward.

[moonpvwers]

She truthfully didn’t even know what store she was in. It had been an escape plan from another day where she was only allowed into town if she went with her guards. She had been walking too fast, desperate to get whatever distance she could, wherever she was, when she stumbled into something else. “It doesn’t look like anything to me.” Toph said pointedly. “But by what it sounds like you should get those back in your jacket.” She was reaching into her own coat, pulling out the cane that she’d chosen to forgo and unfolding it. Usually it made it too easy for her parents to find her again, but she knew it would help, and she couldn’t help the adrenaline starting to push through her given the situation. “Then follow me to the exit. I’ve been told people don’t like staring at me, guess it’s considered rude but it’s not like I can tell anyways.” She clearly found the whole thing a little ridiculous. “But if you stick close and don’t slip up again we can get you out without being noticed.”

Roger had come into the coffee shop to get his usual drink, an iced coffee with exactly twelve ice cubes, three packets of sugar, and no cream. He claimed that anything different would mess with his creative brain waves and had even thrown away a whole entire drink and demanded that it be remade before. When she had offered up her fruit, Roger couldn’t help but make a face. The idea of eating after anyone repulsed him to no end. He let out a disgusted scoff, looking over at her as if she was crazy. “ Why on earth would I eat your leftovers? What do I look like to you, some kind of rat? You can keep that all to yourself. “ he replied rudely. 

Blue’s face immediately showed her distaste for the man. She was never one to shy away from making it blatantly obvious when she didn’t like someone, and she had already decided she didn’t like this guy. “Cause it’s free food.” Obviously. Whatever, it was meant as a nice offer before she threw it out. If he had just said no she could have moved on with her day, but now she felt herself preparing for a fight. “Now that you mention it though, yeah, I’d say maybe you do have a rat face. Really goes well to match your personality though so you should consider yourself lucky.”

Prue had moved her work to a small table in the diner, reading over her notes and information online for a recent painting that had been donated to the museum. Unfortunately, the longer she sat there, the slower her hand brought her fries to her mouth and the heavier her eyelids felt. At some point, she managed to fall asleep upright, only startling awake when someone spoke up. “I’m alright,” she said quickly, her automatic reaction. “I mean, sorry. Did you say something?”

[moonpvwers]

“Sorry, just wanted to check in, see if you were alright” Asami said, taking a small step back now that the woman had jolted awake. The last thing she would have wanted was for someone else to find the sleeping woman, a dumb teen looking for trouble, or someone looking for a few bucks to steal. Despite the public area it probably wasn’t the safest place to sleep. “Let me treat you to a coffee or something. You look like you need one.”

[readywade]

Wade hated his home life – hence why he avoided it as much as possible. But, it was hard to do so when that’s where you needed to sleep, eat, and kept most of your consoles. Most of his money went into the arcade to stay away as long as possible, but that didn’t leave any money for much else. So, it was no surprise when his stomach growled loud enough for anyone close by to hear. An awkward chuckle escaped him as he rubbed the back of his neck. “Man, those aliens really sound like they’d growling, huh?” He joked. “Where do you think I can get the biggest meal for,” he said, pausing for a moment to glance down into his wallet. “Two dollars and seventy five cents?”

[moonpvwers]

Ginny was no stranger to living on a budget, and while usually she could scrape together more than three dollars for a meal she did know some very cheap places for when times were desperate. “I think there’s a 7-11 a block or two away. It’s not the best but it’s the only place I can think of where you can get hot food for less than two dollars. You could probably get some food and a drink if you look hard enough.” She contributed the idea easily, not needing to sit and think for too long. “If you’re lucky I’ll consider contributing for a bag of chips to eat.” She could go for a snack now that she was thinking about food anyways.

overpriced coffee was not j.d.’s thing. he avoided it unless he had something else with him to enjoy. he didn’t care about whether or not it was rude of him to do so. he heard the other speak up and looked at the offered cup. it was everyday you got free food, even if it was in a strange way. “i don’t care about sharing. if i get sick, i get sick. fate has whatever it does for me,” he claimed almost theatrically before taking the cup and spoon. he dove in without hesitation. “how are you to get all of your good little nutrients to help you get big and strong without your fruit?” he teased, laughing slightly. “not that i’m complaining. i’ll always accept free food. well, almost always. if you’re some sketchy looking guy or giggling bitch, i might think twice.”

she handed over the cup and spoon, slightly glad that she didn’t have to get up to accommodate some stranger. “is this the point where i should advertise the family business? come by, someone will do a fortune reading for you and then you’ll know if your fate really is to get sick.” she was absolutely joking, though blue didn’t know how good she was at showing it. she hardly thought people should get readings for important stuff, much less for something like a potential illness. her eyes narrowed a little at that. she knew she was short, barely five feet tall, but she highly doubted her aversion to yogurt fruit was to blame for that. “i’m tall and strong enough to stab in self defense, how much bigger does a girl need to be.” her eyes widened, looking purposely offended for a beat. “and i don’t meet either of those criteria? i’m almost hurt.”

Tina was idly stirring her coffee when the other spoke up, eyeing the cup. She didn’t mind sharing and it wasn’t every day she was offered some free food. She reached over and took it, giving a shrug. “It’s fine. Even if you didn’t have a spoon, I’d eat it with my fingers. I know the guys love that,” she teased with a smile, taking a few bites. “But, that’s if you want them to notice you. You don’t seem the type to do, though. Unless this is your way of flirting with me. Sharing fruit in yogurt cups is quite romantic.” Tina offered the other girl a wink.

“What like eating it with your fingers would be sexier or something?” Blue asked, a frown gracing her features. It really wasn’t something she thought about often, or just about ever really, and the idea of the sticky fruit on her fingers was less than appealing. “Yeah sorry, if you’re looking for someone to exchange flirting tactics I’m probably not the right person.” If anything she was a little relieved to hear she didn’t come off that way either. It just wasn’t the sort of attention Blue would ever want to acquire. Still, she managed to laugh a little at the wink. The girl seemed nice after all, not like some weird man who might’ve approached her. “Yeah? Romantic enough to make up for my sheer lack of charm though?”

as silly as the conversation was, mel loved it. she loved cryptids and strange lore that was probably more fake than true. and, as much as she knew that most – if not all – and to be made up, she wanted to believe they were real. “why are we even debating this? the answer is obvious: mothman. everyone knows the loch ness monster, but real cryptozoologists and fan love mothy. he’s obscure enough to not get the attention of main stream media, and not too obscure where he has no evidence of his existence. he’s a harbinger of misfortune, can fly, and probably has sexy legs,” she said matter of factly. she sipped at her smoothie and looked over at the girl. “don’t tell me you like the loch ness more.”

mabel hummed slightly, pen hovering over the column to write mothman as she considered. “maybe i just feel like nessie can take care of me in a way that mothman can’t.” and that was well knowing that she wasn’t exactly what most people considered low maintenance. even with family and friends she knew she wasn’t always the easiest to handle. nessie seemed like that patient type though. “like i totally think mothman would be the perfect type for a fling, to take me on a wild two week adventure and i never see him again and have to convince people and myself it was real, but nessie would be way better for a long term relationship.” she said, clicking her pen a few times. “besides, maybe i want the attention of main stream media.” mabel added with a small excited laugh.

Coraline couldn’t help but raise a brow at her insinuation. While she didn’t necessarily believe in ghosts  that was one thing she didn’t want to mess with. “ Well if there is more reason for me to throw it out right? “ she replied with a shrug. “ Nobody wants to have a bunch of useless haunted junk in their house. “ she muttered out loud. “ I didn’t throw everything I found. “ she reassured her, only the things that she had no interest in keeping. 

Chihiro nodded, albeit slowly as she considered. “I’d just want to check with the ghost first, make sure it’s okay with being relocated.” She wasn’t really sure how someone went about doing that, but surely there were answers online. “Otherwise they would have a reason to be mad at me.” And that’s when it seemed like she’d really have to worry about a haunting. “Oh? What did you find worth keeping?” She asked, half starting to rifle through the box again.

Valentine’s Starter for Wybie and Lola: @moonpvwers

Wybie’s fingers tangled with each other as he tried to muster up the will and courage to hand over the small gift in his bag. The girl was really pretty and seemed to embody sunshine. So, he decided to take one of the flowers from his grandmother’s beloved garden (something he’d get yelled at for later) and tied it to a heart structure he fashioned out of scraps of metal from colanders, old car parts, and other various things. “Excuse me, Lola?” He asked softly, awkwardly shifting his feet before pulling out the gift. “This doesn’t have to mean anything, but it’s for you. It’s kind of lame. You could throw it out if you want to, but just don’t let me see.”

[moonpvwers]

She took the gift, staring at in silently in awe for a few moments. It wasn’t the first time she had gotten a gift from someone, but it looked so nice, like actual time and thought went into it she couldn’t help but be a little flustered by it. “I love it.” Lola said, fying forward to pull Wybie into a quick hug before she pulled back, eyes wide. “Sorry, sorry, I shouldn’t just throw myself at people, I know, I got a little excited. People don’t usually just make me things though. I can’t believe you thought I’d throw it out.” She said, energy quieting a little as she looked back and forth between the gift and Wybie.

Eden’s eyes flickered up towards the other, filled with slight confusion, not knowing whether or not she had been addressing her directly or not. A small hum left her lips in response. At her question, the blonde couldn’t help but ponder a bit. “ I don’t know… I’ve never really thought about it before. “ she admitted honestly. Although it was hard for her to imagine why she possibly would. “ Personally I would pick whoever I could talk to and would listen to what I would have to say. That’s pretty important quality to have in a relationship right? “ she thought out loud, chewing down on her bottom lip as she began to really think things through. 

It wasn’t quite the passionate reply Mabel was waiting for but she could work with that. “I think that would probably be Nessie.” She replied, tapping her pen as she looked back over her chart and notes. “Mothman is definitely more of the one amazing week before he leaves you heartbroken but with amazing memories. It would be a wild ride but I don’t know how much talking would happen.” Totally a desirable sort of relationship in Mabel’s opinion but definitely not built for long term. “Nessie’s definitely a mature lady, who’s more in for the long run, so that would probably be more your style right?”

“do we really have to go the gym? i mean look at you, lola. you’re one of the most in shape people i know.” granted, zoe’s only company was comprised of band geeks who wouldn’t be caught dead even a foot away from a planet fitness. though there was a part of her that knew the girl wouldn’t give up until she agreed to tag along. she let out a small sigh before she tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “okay, but only because i’ll feel guilty if you give up on your new years resolution. but we have to agree that there won’t be any running on the treadmill. at least the first time we go. i need to ease my way into running.” she teased. “and you are so definitely buying pizza after. one slice won’t ruin everything we do.”

“that’s because you don’t hang out with any jocks.” lola whined slightly. still her lips were turning up in a smile, happy to hear any sort of compliment, even if being the most in shape of zoe’s social sphere wasn’t a huge accomplishment.  in comparison she considered herself on the lower end of the fitness scale on her volleyball team and it was time to push herself to change that. “i absolutely promise no treadmill.” she said, offering out her pinky in a silly pinky promise for zoe. “but maybe the elliptical. we need to do at least a little cardio.” and she was arguably better at that than something like lifting, so maybe she was a little selfish. “ah okay okay, we’ll do pizza, but only because i’m dedicated to making this gym thing a regular thing, and pizza will make sure i go again later in the week.”

ayano knew how dangerous it could be to be a little too eager, but it was hard to resist. how could you express how much you loved someone when you weren’t allowed to? “something small. but what if it’s too small? okay, start small then get big, right,” she said, practically talking to herself. “okay, fine – we’ll go with your idea. i hope it works or else i’m going to b pretty upset about it.” she said it as a joke, but the truth wasn’t too far off.

izzy couldn’t help but relax a little when the girl agreed to go along with her. if she could save one girl from throwing herself at a guy and embarrassing herself that was a victory for the day. “don’t worry, it’ll work. i have a pretty good history of making guys happy.” a small smirk danced on her face. “the trick is to make it personal. make sure it’s something he wouldn’t get from some other girl so that he knows that you’re special. if you want to buy him something i could help you with the shopping.”

just the mention of the word ‘gym’ had euntak on edge and her body grew rigid – all of her insecurities pushed to the forefront. she had made the same tireless new year resolutions each year and yet gave up on them nearly a quarter way into the year each time. but maybe a buddy was just what she needed, someone to hold her accountable to her goals. she let out a thoughtful hum before nodding, “okay! i’ve been meaning to go to the gym anyway. some of the girls at school were talking about how i’ve gotten chubby and i don’t know… maybe it’s just time for me to have a proper workout schedule?” she tried her best not to listen to all the horrid things they said about her behind her back, but it was difficult not to let things get to her. “can we get pineapple pizza after? that’s healthy, right? it has fruit on it.” 

lola was always a bit of an airhead, but if there was one thing she wasn’t completely awful at it was reading people, and clearly the girl in front of her wasn’t all too happy. “well whoever those girls are must be blind because you look great to me.” lola said, eyes wide. girls could be mean, and she could only assume this was a case of girls being mean and not actually saying anything with any truth to it. “but a schedule is a good idea! i don’t think it sticks with you unless you do it regularly, like otherwise you’re only strong for three days and then it goes away.” at least that felt like a reasonable way for it to work. lola definitely did not know the science behind exercising, but she was certainly willing to guess. her nose crinkled slightly. “pineapple on pizza is like a whole attack on food, but i know a place that sells it by the slice so you can get fruit pizza and i’ll have to find something else that’s a little healthy.”

“you don’t have to ask me twice!” joy said, quickly agreeing considering she too had made the same resolution. but, it was one that a lot of people made, wasn’t it? maybe this year she could actually make it a month unlike last time. “yeah, pizza would totally ruin the whole point, but also we should reward ourselves. it’s not like you need to loose anymore – you’re basically as skinny as can be anyway! plus, you’d eat pizza even if you didn’t go to the gym, so it’s guilt-free pizza!” she reasoned with a big smile.

“really? you are seriously the best! i was pretty sure everyone cool hated the gym these days.” or at least that’s what they put out on social media. still, lola didn’t understand how everyone could look so good if they weren’t actually working out. she tilted her head, considering before giving a shrug. “i was just gonna reward myself by letting myself post a gym selfie, but you’re totally right! we just gotta make sure to buy it by the slice, not a whole pie, cause that definitely can’t be guilt free.” especially considering lola was fairly certain that after the gym she would be able to put down the entire pizza if it was in front of her.

blue rarely wound up in coffee shops. they were overpriced, smelled weird, and everyone was usually loud and annoying. unfortunately it was much too cold to eat yogurt in the park like she wanted to, so she had wound up there, buying a small cup of tea just so she would feel like a jerk when she pulled out her cup of yogurt from home as well as her own spoon in the shop. it took her barely anytime to finish the snack, despite hardly touching her tea during the process. “hey.” she didn’t particularly like reaching out to strangers, but this was important. “do you want the fruit at the bottom.” she asked, holding out the plastic cup.” sure enough, there pushed aside at the bottom was the little chunks of fruit that had come with the yogurt, the worst part in blue’s opinion. still, she didn’t want to waste it. “i’ll get you a plastic spoon if you’re weird about that sort of thing.”
