thisis-remy:

Remy sat outside, using a huge coat to make them look less conspicuous, with their appearance somewhat unruly due to the lack of sleep. A familiar smell crept to their nose and they looked up to see the thing their life used to revolve around. Sweet cigarettes. Not noticing the man  paying attention to them, Remy looked at him. “Me?” they asked, pointing to themself, before nodding. “Yes, please.”

Samuel looked the other over, smiling at their appearance. “Aren’t you a little hot in that thing?” He asked, raising an eyebrow before handing his pack of cigarettes over. He took a long drag, blowing the smoke through his nose has he held out his lighter. “It’s probably 73 degrees out here. I’d be down right boiling if I was in that thing,” he said, waving a hand to gesture at the coat they had on.

“I would have to agree with you. I forgot how much work moving really was.” She said as she carried the box and put it down beside the couch. “Yeah, it doesn’t matter which one you take. It can be anyone of them.”

“First time I’ve ever moved, but I was looking at everything in the house and couldn’t see the need for half of it,” Samuel replied as he bent over to pick up a box, not bothering to look for a label. “Just tell me where this goes and I’ll start.”

“Why are you looking at me like I just decapitated your pet? Seriously, stop it, the concept of guilt freaks me out.”

“Did you just decapitate my pet? Is this something that I need to be worried about you doing? Do you have something to be guilty of?”

emerson-park:

Somehow he’d managed to smoke the last cigarette the day before and not even realize it. Frowning, he shoved the empty carton in his jacket pocket and was considering whether it was worth it to wander around until he found somewhere to buy them when someone spoke up from a few yards away. “If you’re offering,” he said. “I’ll return the favor when I get more.”

“Oh, please, don’t give me more. I’ve been trying to kick this rather troublesome habit for a while now, so the more you take, the less I can have. It’s a win-win situation on both our parts,” he said, giving the other a grin as he held the pack out to them. “If you need more than one, please take it. I’ll one day realise that I’m spending way too much money on this and give it up. At least, that’s the hope.”

fgseleanor:

Eleanor raised an eyebrow, almost a little startled that the man could ever assume she would be the type to smoke, despite the fact that he didn’t know her. “Actually, I was going to ask you to smoke somewhere else. I’m not looking to half health issues due to second hand smoke anytime soon.”

“Actually, smoking out in the open is the least likely place for secondhand smoke inhalation. It dissipates too soon for any other person to inhale it when at a reasonable distance,” Samuel said, giving the girl a shrug. “Though, if you’d still like me to move, that’s fine. My habits shouldn’t turn into your problems.”

“An honest thief, that’s a new one,” Icelynn laughed. “So, Sam how long’ve you been here?”

“Well, I mean, I could have always pawned it off or something, if that’ll fit more into your views of the normal thief,” he suggested, lifting a shoulder to shrug as he gave the girl a grin. “And only about a day, give or take a few hours. Haven’t been here long, that’s for sure.”

“Nah, I have my own,” Jameson replied as he moved to put his own cigarette into his mouth. Using his hand to block the wind, he lit it before he took a long drag. “But thanks. Don’t know many people who would have offered a fag for free.”

“Eh, the less I have, the less I can smoke. Filthy habit, this is,” Samuel explained, waving a hand at the other’s words. He brought the cigarette back to his mouth and easily lit up, inhaling deeply. “I’ve been tryin’ ta kick it for months now. Never really seems to stick, though.”

I don’t think I’ll kick it again. Maybe.

“You want me to give it a go?” He asked, raising a brow as he glanced back up at her.

mhmkelsey:

Kelsey glanced up slowly again when he changed his stance to something more light and carefree, causing her to stand up a bit straighter and open up just a little more. “Oh, you don’t have to do that for me. Really,” she insisted, then shook his hand with a soft smile. “I’m Kelsey. It’s good to know more people around here. I really only know a couple. Have you met anyone else around?”

“Well, yeah, I don’t, but the offer still stands,” Samuel said, giving a shrug as he smiled at the girl. He noticed how she seemed to come back up to her full height and his smile grew, happy that he wasn’t giving her unnecessary fright. Shifting his weight slightly, he leaned against the wall behind him and reached up to scratch his chin. “I’ve met a few people. A lovely lady named Icelynn, and this dude named Azhar. A few other’s, all rather good seeming people.”

Standing in front of the apartment building, Samuel placed a cigarette between his lips. He was getting ready to light it when he noticed someone staring at him. He grinned, the cigarette dangling between his lips before he removed it and nodded towards the other. “You want one?”

alwaysashleyx:

I guess. I don’t think I will be able to move it on my own, even with all my high powered kicking attacks.

“Yeah, I don’t think kicking it will get you very far. And I’d imagine it would start to really hurt after a few kicks,” Samuel said, looking at the sturdy trunk sitting near her.

theadriannatorres:

She smiled over towards him and nodded her head. “Well, thank you for offering to help.” She told him as she leaned down to pick up one of her other boxes that she had left on the floor.

“Well, I haven’t got too much stuff to move myself. Gotta admit, it didn’t seem worth the hassle,” Samuel said, her appealing smile causing one to appear on his own face. “Just any of these, or do you want me to carry a specific one?”

fvckheadicelynn:

“Eh,” she shrugged. “Worst case is you run off with my phone and all my nudes and I have to get a new one.” Icelynn laughed while taking her phone back and sliding back into her pocket. “But if you had, I’d be sad because my guys number is in there.” 

Samuel raised an eyebrow at her, watching as she put her phone back away. “So that thing has connections and nudes? Maybe I should have stole it,” he joked, grinning at Icelynn. “And I’d have given the phone back after I stole the number and nudes.”

“Yes, I have Rocco and Rocky. They’re gonna be the major sources of income for this rock family. They’ve started a band called The Rolling Stones,” he joked back as they approached the door to his apartment. “You have been given a break, I can offer you some water but then you’ll have to go straight back to work,” he said as he managed to get the door open. He kicked it open with his foot before he placed the box down on the coffee table next to the door. “I am not looking forward to putting everything in its spot.”

“You may want to advise them against that. They may find themselves in quite the court case.” He held the box as the other unlocked the door before maneuvering it though the doorway. He placed it down on the coffee table, giving the man a small grin at his stipulations. “Oh, so now I’m noting more than your glorified workhorse, huh? Though, if you’ve got some water, I’ll take some,” Samuel said, wiping his hand on the legs of his jeans. He reached out and pulled one of the flaps of the box open, peering inside. He hoped the man would not get too mad at the liberties he was taking. “Well, hopefully you won’t be moving anywhere else soon. Won’t have to repack all these,” he commented, pulling one of the books out and reading the title.

fvckheadicelynn:

Icelynn couldn’t help but giggle and look at the ground when Samuel winked at her, her cheeks instantly going red. It’d been a while since she’d been complimented, it felt nice. “It’s 2015, of course I have a phone.” Reaching into her back pocket she grabbed her iPhone and brought up the new contact screen before handing it over to him. 

Samuel smiled widely as he watched Icelynn’s cheeks turn red, just holding back a chuckle. “Well, the question was more of a ‘would you be willing to give me your phone so I could put it in’ kind of deal. We’ve just met, I wasn’t sure you’d want to hand it over to a near strange,” he commented, reaching out to take the phone and easily navigating his way around inputting his name and number before handing it back.

“You are totally right, i’ve seen the light. My first born shall be Isabella Edwarda”

“Well, I wasn’t suggesting it. I mean, to each there own, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Unless your last name is Jacobs.”

fvckheadicelynn:

“Well when you’re a pretty little girl, people are more willing to help you out,” she teased. Accepting his handshake, she grinned at him. “Great! Smoking alone isn’t any fun. So I guess this means you’re going to have to give me your number then; yeah?”

“Yeah, I must say, I don’t really fit into the description ‘pretty little girl.’ You’ve got the look down pat, though,” Samuel said, giving the girl a wink as he shook her hand. “Smoking was not invented to be a solitary venture, so no.” He held out a hand, “you got a phone I can put it in?”
