god. if looks could kill, connor would be six feet under already, which arguably sounded better than his current situation. for some reason he could never get on rinās good side, and that was admittedly a rare problem for himā which made it all the more frustrating. he knew he could be a bit too⦠overbearing for some peopleās taste, but the expression on her face when she realized it was him held an obvious contempt that seemed a bit overkill for simply being annoying.
āuhhh,ā he murmured again, resisting the urge to gulp as the elevator began to move downwards.Ā āyeah, youāre right. it was actually just a last minute idea and figured iād just get it over with,ā he explained, as if she would have any interest in why he was there.Ā āso⦠at least itās over with,ā a shrug and a blink of a thin smile accompanied the words, and suddenly as if on cue, his curse continued on and jinxed his words with a powerful shake of the elevator they were in. the sound of metal clanging loudly grated in his ears as it screeched to a stop, both of his arms flying out to grip the walls as he anxiously tried to comprehend what the fuck just happened.Ā nothing could stop the horrified expression on his face as he looked over towards the other.
ā¦fuuuuuck. this was how he died. his obituary would readĀ āmurdered in a broken elevator by an angry goth elf,ā and all of his photo options were probably embarrassing.Ā
Thirty seconds. She could hold out for thirty seconds. Thirty seconds, and heāll out on his floor. Thirty seconds, and she wonāt have to see him for the next seventeen years if she could help it. Thirty seconds, and she could hit her head against Maxās shoulder over and over, wondering aloud if the universe had it out for her. Thirty seconds.
She could hold out for thirty seconds.
Letting out a slow, slow exhale, her gaze raises to lock upon her own, her reflection staring down at her from the ceiling. She lets the silence carry on for a beat, maybe two, as she continues to count down in her head, her spirit lifting ever, ever so slightly as she neared the magic number. Twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine---
Her hands flash out to grab hold of a wall as the elevator jerks to a screeching, horrifyingly harsh halt, her knees knocking together as sheās jolted forward. Her eyes are flashing wide in shock as she feels the stillness, as she stares at doors that remain closed, as she struggles to comprehend what the fuck just happened. Her gaze slowly lifts to meet against a pair of anxious eyes alongside her, the realisation slowly, slowly beginning to sink in.
Well.. at least she got her question answered. The universe definitely had it out for her.
Without a word, without another glance in his direction, Rin lurches forward to jam against the open elevator door button, again and again, outrageous promises being made in her mind if only the doors would just open the fuck up. Sheāll stop.. Sheāll stop cursing. Sheāll join a convent. Sheāll volunteer in Antarctica. Sheāll..Sheāll stop hating Connor! Sheāll totally stop! She wonāt. Shit, no, donāt think like that! What if that was the one thing she had to do and since she wonāt, the doorsāll stay closed? Sheāll stop hating him! For real, this time!
Where was the emergency button? Why wasnāt it red? Wasnāt the emergency button supposed to be red? Her eyes dart over every single button again and again, checking them over and over for any sort of emergency symbol, for any kind of--
Oh, my God. There was a keyhole. A keyhole. An emergency stop keyhole. That only employees could use. Because employees had emergency elevator keys. Because this was an employee elevator. And they? They werenāt employees. They werenāt employees. Oh, God, they werenāt employees.
ā...thereās no emergency button. Thereās no emergency button, thereās--ā
Her leg kicks up to slam against the buttons in her frustration, the look in her eyes beyond rage. Thereās no emergency button. Thereās no emergency button. Thereās no fucking emergency button.
Fuck.
clrkingrmā:
it is 7 PM, the sun has set, and heās fast asleep.Ā
the rest of his ragtag crew are off being productive members of society (read: stealing the trioās limited supply of candy while pretending to be doing real work), and the pink house had been established as his solo castle for the evening. wandering around fully naked, watching re-runs of classic spongebob, eating cold chow mein with crappy splintered wooden chopsticks (which rin had taught him how to use, though heās still utterly abysmal at it).Ā
truly, living the life of crown royalty.Ā
and with a belly full of leftover chinese and body full of too much weed, heād knocked out like a brick the second his body flopped down onto crusty sheets. days off were invented with the sole purpose of lazing around like an idle fool, right?Ā
heās only brought forth from this coma by the ringtone blaring from his phone ā some random tune from a one-off bizarro game he had played on stream; heād ripped the mp3 after she went on and on about how neat she found it ā and he blinks awake, startled, dried drool streaked across a stubbled cheek. through bleary eyes he scopes the contact photo ā her, smile shining like the sun, his jacket around her shoulders, snugly nestled into the coveted corner booth at rosieās.Ā
heās never had the heart to change it.Ā
(though, really, heās just never wanted to. that smile doesnāt visit him anymore.)Ā
the decision to answer is made on the final ring. perks (?) of a slightly stoned and sleep clouded brain: irrationality and awful decision making.Ā
āoh⦠uh⦠yeah, sure, rin,ā his voice is groggy, unsure, as he slowly sits up in bed,Ā āwhat, uh⦠what do they⦠look like?āĀ he runs a hand through absolutely unruly bedhead before heaving bare legs out of the comfort of warm blankets, pulling himself up onto freezing cold hardwood. āā¦tor and riv leave their shit layinā around everywhere, and i donāt think theyāll like it much if i pawn off their tights.āĀ
Shit, she woke him up.Ā
The apology is out of her mouth before she could reconsider it, the sincerity in her tone enough to make her want to fucking vomit. āDidnāt know you were asleep. Fuck, uh..ā
Her hand raises to knead against her temples, as though the motion would brush away the cobwebs and get the gears running enough to come up with a response more intelligent than anything beginning with an āuh.ā A bad move, it seemed, as her mind restarting only meant a thousand flashes of a sleepy Clark waking up alongside her, a thousand flashes of that groggy tone mumbling sweet nothings as they drifted off to sleep, a thousand flashes of a thousand things with a boy who wasnāt even hers to be thinking about so intensely and--
āTheyāre just fully black. Tagās pink. Pretty sure theyāre, uh.. Iām pretty sure they might still be on the lamp unless.. Yāknow, you moved them.ā
God. God, she hated her voice like this. She was so uncertain, she was so hesitant, why was it so hard to talk to him? Oh, God, if she couldnāt even talk to him sober, how the fuck was she supposed to look him in the eye and keep it together for the twenty seconds itād take to get handed her goddamn tights?
Those fucking tights. She hated those tights, anyway.
āFuck, yāknow-- Itās fine.ā What?Ā āIf you canāt find it or whatever, itās okay, like--ā What was she, insane? The last thing she needed after this fuckinā exchange was to get chewed out at work by a man who proudly manages a place called The Shit.Ā āGo back to sleep, forget it.ā
conye-westā:
late christmas shopping was not the smartest move, but then again, connor was never the smartest tool in the shed, in the wise words of smash mouth. the box heād been hulking around was not that difficult to carry, but after several minutes of carrying it plus attempting to navigate himself towards the escalator, he quickly realized that he was a complete weakling, and of course had waltzed right into the elevator the first chance he got.
thank godā he could finally set the box down and take a breath. waitā scratch that. someone else was quickly running in after him. and unfortunately, he recognized their voice immediately.Ā part of him wanted to keep the box held in front of his face, but it was deceptively heavy. he was feeling particularly cursed in this moment. āuhhh,ā moving to set the box down, he hesitantly reached out to press the button sheād asked for, before offering her an awkward smile.Ā āitās just a giant bear.ā he paused, pointing at the box.Ā āin the box, i mean.ā
Oh, for the love of candy canes.
She shouldāve gotten it from that first, awkward āuhhh,ā but, God, did she hope that for some strange, inexplicable reason, the world would look down on her this night and be like, āHey! Letās cut the bitch some fuckinā slack for once!ā For Christās sake, why not throw Clark down the air vent and have Blue ooze out of the elevator buttons? Have a fuckinā Christmas party right over Rinās dead body when she inevitably pries the elevator doors back open to walk right the fuck out on air?
Ah, and there was his face, peeking from around the box and looking more like roadkill than actual fuckinā roadkill. Was.. Was he smiling? Was he mocking her?
Fuckinā jackass.
Her head slowly turns back to face towards the front of the elevator once more, her voice low and muffled as she mumbles her thanks. God, and now she was in her head. The bear was for Clark, wasnāt it? He bought the bear for Clark for Christmas, and it was probably one of those stupid holiday bears on sale down at Finneganās with the stupid mistletoe between their stupid paws. And he was going to give it to Clark all, āMerry Christmas, Iām a homewrecker!ā And Clarkāll be all, āThanks, Iām a jackass!ā And then theyāll makeout and laugh and be happy and, and, and--
ā..not smart. Doinā your Christmas shopping now.ā
implsesā:
Ā Ā Ā āāĀ āhey,ā blue called, making a crashing display of his entrance, kicking the door shut behind him sharply enough to snap the sound out into the hallway. heād yet to entirely correct himself into thinking of the new apartment as his home, habit continuing to steer him towards rinās when heād just come off work and wasnāt thinking neatly, and shoving in through the entryway still sometimes felt like trespassing. not that it was particularly difficult to fall into place alongside max, as their antagonism was an easy kind, never too exhausting to keep up withā simply that he was too used to his old building, too used to rin with him there, to have entirely warmed up to maxās. he wasnāt entirely sure if max was home, or if heād responded to blueās shouted announcement at all, so he simply steamrolled ahead, annoyance apparent all over him. āyou left the door unlocked, dumbass, i didnāt evenāā
he stopped flat upon rounding the corner into the living room, rin sitting and waiting on the couch as if it was the most expected place for her to be. logically, blue knew it wasnāt unlikely sheād show up sometime, tied in with max and their band and whatever other knots there were between all of them, he simply hadnāt expected to see her there then. not when heād just been loud and unworried, making a stampede through the hallway to get a reaction out of max, suddenly thrown off-center with her presence and stumbling to quiet.Ā āhey,ā blue repeated, stiller this time, more carefully,Ā āwhat are youāā he realized only after a moment that his voice hadnāt caught up with him yet, hands spelling the greeting out of instinct, and he cleared his throat before speaking up fully.Ā āāare you waiting for max ?ā
@rinwannabe
She hated this.
He was everywhere in this damned apartment, no matter where she turned, no matter where she hid. He was in the walls, he was in the floors, he was in the air surrounding her, choking her with a wistful nostalgia that made her want to retch and curse and tear the world apart. It cut deep into her skin, seeping down into a chest that was closed off by bars and flames, to keep anything more from entering empty-handed only to leave with a souvenir. Wasnāt it bad enough for her to have to kick her boots off in an apartment that was strangled in its silence, to have to wander past a room she never opened but for the very moment her body shut down? Wasnāt it bad enough for her to have to catch only a glimpse of those eyes everytime, before they blatantly shift away to avoid her gaze, a gaze that wasnāt searching to meet his at all?
God, why couldnāt Max have just dragged his lazy ass to hers instead, for once?
A never-ending joke on her part, the nightmare only intensifies as his voice rings out through the apartment, shaking the world around her and replacing what was left of a passable mood to something bitter and resentful. Darkly shadowed eyes flick up to meet against his gaze, Blueās gaze, and for once be surprised by the unbroken hold between their eyes, by the lack of cowardice.
Subject to change. It was Blue fuckinā Quintero after all.
Her hands raise to cut off his scramble for a conversation, lips struggling to keep from the frown that would ruin what she hoped was an unbothered, unruffled expression. Cool and careless. Because she couldnāt care less. Could she? āRelax,ā she begins, her voice quivering ever so slightly in contrast to the smoothness of her hands, hopefully enough to mask how very uncertain she was about that whole not caring shit from before. āIāll be out of here as soon as Max gets back. Just go on pretending I donāt exist somewhere else so I can do the same.ā

@conye-west
God, this mall put the entire town of Dingle to shame.
Rin raises a gloved hand to fiddle with an earbud as she makes her way through the crowds and crowds of bustling, panicking shoppers, rushing to squeeze out whatever last minute holiday shopping they could within the last three minutes of the shopsā opening hours. From the bunch huddled before the bathrooms she could already pick out five from her quaint little town, three from her own building. Was that Mr. Lockhart? That was Mr. Lockhart. Shit, okay, worst time to be in blue lipstick and candy-cane stockings. Keep walkinā, Rin, and maybe he wonāt pick you out and decide this was the perfect time to ask where her overdue rent was.
Hell if she knew, Mr. Lockhart. But, hey, if you end up finding it, you let her know!
She slips her phone from her pocket to quickly shoot off a text to a waiting Max, promising the hold-up was, for once, not exactly entirely her fault. After all, it wasnāt entirely her fault that sheād found the twenty crumpled in her pocket about half a minute before the burrito shop closed up, nor was it entirely her fault that the cashier decided today to be the day they closed up on time. Really, just a day full of bad karma, honestly.
One glance towards the escalators was enough to ensure her not to go anywhere near it, unless she decide to finally give in to the universe and end it all right then and there, trampled and abandoned by shoppers whoād probably think her another stair to squish onto. Her eyes drift about for any other way towards the parking lot, a fire escape, something-- Before falling upon the closing doors of a nearby elevator, the employee symbol above it hanging on for dear, dear life.
Hey, she was, like, half a Christmas elf. She definitely qualified for that shit.
Picking up her pace, Rin darts between exhausted families, crying children, crying employees, to slip between the closing doors by the hair on her head, knocking back against the wall with a soft sigh. āCan you hit negative three?ā She asks to the only other person in the elevator, a hand raising once more to fiddle with her earbud, to lower the volume as she glances towards them, towards the hulking box held before their face. Jesus Christ. āYāknow, youāre not supposed to take the entire store with you.ā
