dark wonderland

now i've got you in my space, i'm latching onto you

[fionasheffield-blog]

We can head out – we’ve got to get good seats, yeah?

[noahbaates]

Not really. You should be able to see what happens, no matter where you stand. But getting your preferred seat is always a bonus.

[fionasheffield-blog]

( she hums softly, running her fingers over his cheek and pecking his lips again. ) Any time, handsome.

[noahbaates]

Do you want to head out, or wait for the others?

[fionasheffield-blog]

( she presses a kiss to his lips, twirling the tie around her fingers. ) I like it – it brings out your eyes.

[noahbaates]

( the words “he said something like that” rise on noah’s tongue, but he swallows them down. he really needs to stop this. he smiles, kissing fiona again. ) Thank you.

[fionasheffield-blog]

You have to say that. And who, Declan? He did!

[noahbaates]

I don’t have to say anything. And don’t encourage this. There were much better looking ties.

[fionasheffield-blog]

( she grins up at him, pulling him back in for another lingering kiss. ) I wouldn’t go that far – but thank you, baby. Nice tie, by the way.

[noahbaates]

Anyone else would. And please don’t compliment this tie. You’ll have him thinking that he made a good decision.

[fionasheffield-blog]

( she finds herself blushing under his gaze, eyes dropping to the ground as she pushed a strand of hair behind her ear and stepped towards him. she reaches up to him, nimble fingers adjusting the knot of his tie before moving to rest against his chest. ) You really think so?

[noahbaates]

I really think so. ( his hands slip around her waist, and he presses a kiss against her lips. ) The bride’s going to be jealous.

[fionasheffield-blog]

———- I’ve never seen a more handsome man in my life.

[noahbaates]

( noah snorts, finishing his tie. though there were several ties of this color -- he’d chosen to match fiona, considering this is one of his favorite colors -- declan was adamant that he wear this one. it wasn’t noah’s favorite tie, but he could deal with it. he turns around to look at fiona, and finds himself breathless for a moment. he makes a mental note to keep his hands to himself until the wedding is over. ) You’re undoubtedly the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen.

[declanbristol-blog]

We aren’t even that bad!

[noahbaates]

Stubborn to the bitter end, I see.

[declanbristol-blog]

Just you wait, hot stuff – ( the name slips out unexpectedly, but he opts to ignore it and continue on. ) – it’ll happen, and when it does, I’ll be waiting to tell you I told ya so.

[noahbaates]

( he snorts. ) If that happens, I’ll transfer and join your team. I’m not staying on a team that can’t even beat McKinley.

[declanbristol-blog]

That’s because they weren’t properly coached before. With me and Loki running things, this team is going to kick your team, and any other team’s ass.

[noahbaates]

Big words, hot shot.

[declanbristol-blog]

Hey now, I have earned my place as captain, Bates. If there’s anything I know, or know how to do, it’s lacrosse.

[noahbaates]

I know. I’ve played your team, Bristol. The team sucks, but you’re not horrible.

[declanbristol-blog]

( he just barely catches the grin on noah’s face, quickly adopting his own grin at the sight. ) Good – I guess I might actually wanna be stuck with you.

[noahbaates]

Such poor judgement. To think, you’re going to be captain of the lacrosse team.

[declanbristol-blog]

And if I don’t want better?

[noahbaates]

( against his better judgement, noah grins. he looks away, hoping declan doesn’t see it as he tries to fight it down. ) Then you might be stuck with me.

[declanbristol-blog]

( it would be a lie if declan said his heart didn’t sink a bit at that, but he masked it with his smile and sped up so he was beside noah once more. ) Thought we were.

[noahbaates]

You need better friends, Bristol.

[declanbristol-blog]

( he slows his movements, turning to face noah. ) What do you mean? Careful of what?

[noahbaates]

( noah glances over at declan, but keeps moving. he calls over his shoulder. ) People might start to mistake us as friends.

[declanbristol-blog]

Well, obviously, but on you… I don’t know, on you its just amazing.

[noahbaates]

Careful, Declan. ( it’s said softly, just beneath his breath. the smile that was once on his face is now replaced with a blank expression. he isn’t supposed to do this; he isn’t supposed to want like this. what good has it ever don him? )

[declanbristol-blog]

( declan can’t help but smile when the taller boy laughs, his stomach seeming to do flips. ) Good – happy is a good look on you.

[noahbaates]

( noah chances a glance at his companion, a smile still on his lips. ) I think it’s a good look on anyone. ( especially on you, he doesn’t say. )
