@femlette asked:

So maybe she's not exactly supposed to be out and about at the event just yet. Maybe she snuck out a little earlier than she was meant to just to see everyone arriving a little more casually before she had to get all dolled-up, still sporting a cap and her reading glasses. Man, is she glad she did. Lucky's a little bashful in her approach but keeps the bravery when she gently taps the man on his shoulder and waves, beaming as soon as he turns. ❝ Hi! - Um.. Big fan. Excited to see you here! ❞

Isidoro knew he'd likely have to don the persona he'd so carefully crafted for the public once the event actually began, but when someone had come up to him before anything had really started, he couldn't help the slight shock that swept over his features.

With a nervous laugh, Isidoro smiled politely at the woman. "Oh, well, thanks. I really appreciate it." Though, he then realized that maybe- seeing as she was in the area a bit earlier than most were, that maybe she actually knew him from his behind the scenes work. "What work do you know me from?"

“I think you dropped this.”

“You look lost. Need some help?”

“I don’t usually talk to strangers, but…”

“You’re sitting in my spot.”

“Whoa! Careful!”

“We’ve never met, right? You seem familiar.”

“Is that seat taken?”

“Sorry, I think I just spilled something on you.”

“You’re blocking the doorway.”

“Were you just staring at me?”

“Excuse me, do you know the time?”

“Wait — are you the person I’m supposed to meet?”

“I’ve been sent to find you.”

“Please don’t be alarmed, but I think we have the same bag.”

“Do you work here?”

“I’m fairly certain that’s mine.”

“You’ve got something on your face.”

“Sorry, I thought you were someone else.”

“Do you know the way to ___?”

“You’re hurt. Do you need help?”

“That’s a fine ___ (cloak/hat/book/etc.). Where did you get it?”

“This might sound strange, but can I hide behind you for a moment?”

“You look like you could use a friend.”

“I think your dog just stole my lunch.”

“Hey, you dropped your coin purse.”

“You seem… out of place.”

“That was a close call.”

“Not to alarm you, but someone’s watching you.”

“Mind if I walk with you?”

“You look like you’re in trouble.”

“Was that your doing back there?”

“You don’t look like you’re from around here.”

“That was impressive. How’d you manage it?”

“I’m guessing you’re not here by accident.”

“Do I want to know what just happened?”

“You might want to keep your voice down.”

“Is it always this strange around here?”

“I have a feeling we’re about to become acquainted whether we like it or not.”

“Looks like we’re in this together now.”

Isidoro was so, so gentle. Agreeing to the bath, if only for Isidoro's sake, was easy-- sitting still and watching him clean up his mess was less so.

This is my fault. The thought echoed in Zeke's head as the shards were eventually thrown away, and drummed even louder when his eyes flicked up to catch the now-empty mirror frame. He could remember thrifting that thing years ago, and now he was going to be bothered because no other mirror would look the same in its place. But it was his fault for breaking it at all.

He only noticed how angry his expression had become when Isidoro spoke again, whispering that quiet I love you. Each word was a cool balm, and in the end Zeke exhaled to let his frustration melt out of him.

"I love you too," he said, sounding wearier than he hoped. Zeke cleared his throat, straightened as he sat, and then held both his arms out in Isidoro's direction when the man was done cleaning up. "Come take my clothes off, honey."

And when Isidoro eventually came to him, Zeke took both his cheeks in hand and led him down for a kiss first.

"I'm gonna be fine," he promised, pulling away to meet Isidoro's eyes. Zeke held his gaze for a few more beats before his hands fell away, and he moved however Isidoro needed to get his damned clothes off.

[saveahxrse]

Isidoro felt his lip quiver slightly as Zeke kissed him, but he eagerly and delicately returned the gesture. It was difficult to hold himself together, not wanting Zeke to think about anything but his own well-being. Seeing his lover in such a way, so angry that he punched a mirror and barely flinching at the shards of glass still in his knuckles, it shattered him. He quickly blinked away the tears glazing his eyes and he looked down with a nod.

"I know you are," he murmured sincerely. Isi truly wished he could tell him that he didn't always have to be fine- that he could be not okay around Isidoro, and he'd be there to help him.

But he also knew there was a reason, whatever it was, that he chose to deal with things on his own.

Resting his hand on the side of Zeke's neck, he pressed a lingering kiss to his forehead before delicately guiding the younger man's body out of his clothes.

Without asking, much less waiting for an answer, he also helped Zeke into the water.

It took longer than necessary, but Isidoro was diligent and tender as he cleaned out his partner's wounds and bandaged them with the utmost care. Every fiber in his body was screaming for him to ask Zeke what had happened, but he knew better than to ask.

When had finished bandaging his hand, he pressed the ghost of a kiss to his knuckles.

"How's that feel? It's not too tight or anything?"

[saveahxrse]

[protagonope]

"Holy friggin'--"

To keep from being any noisier than he already is, Mac's hand comes up to cover his mouth. For about five minutes now he's been trying to place the guy that just walked into the store-- he's the stupid cowboy that fucked Ben Landry in that Western porno.

And now Mac can't unsee it.

When @saveahxrse comes up with his items, Mac fortunately manages to scan everything without dropping them. It's incredible how much of a struggle it is not to ask the guy what it felt like being in Landry's hole with how long Mac's been fantasising about it (and yes, he's incredibly jealous, but that's neither here nor there).

With all the man's purchases shoved into a plastic bag, Mac hands it over. "Here ya go, Angel Cock."

...

Oh, god damn it.

[saveahxrse]

The tip of Isidoro's tongue is pressed against the back of his upper, front teeth- he was ready to utter a word of gratitude for the cashier's help- when he freezes at the name he had been called. Truthfully, he's taken by surprise, not because he's ashamed or creeped out by any means. Rather, he's definitely not used to anyone recognizing him.

After all, Juan Wayne certainly had a vastly different aura to himself, especially as Angel Cock. Juan Wayne was confident, flirtatious, outgoing, and the type that was easily everyone's friend. Isidoro, though, well he certainly didn't dress up in fitted jeans and even more fitted shirts. He preferred fading into the background and wearing sweaters and cardigans. Even if he had good self-esteem, it wasn't as noticeable as Juan Wayne's was.

So the fact anyone was able to put two and two together was enough to elicit the surprised, "Oh."

Clearing his throat, he shakes his head and let out a soft, nervous laugh. "Sorry, uh, I'm not used to people recognizing me. I take it your a fan?"

PEDRO PASCAL as Harry Castillo MATERIALISTS dir. Celine Song

[saveahxrse]

gimme Isi & Mel as parents? :3

Name: Zinnia Silva-Drysdell

Gender: Female

General Appearance: Zinnia had thick, wavy, dark chocolate brown hair and equally dark eyes. She has an olive complexion with cool undertones. Due to her prominent, apple cheekbones, Zinnia's smile is all the more noticeable when it happens. She has a round, button nose that fits her face perfectly, as do her dusty rose, averagely plumped lips. She has a fit and curvy frame, similar to her mother's, and is at an average height for her age.

Personality: Although a bit more on the reserved side, Zinnia is full of warmth and love. However, this compassion shouldn't be confused for weakness. Zinnia is equally capable of hitting sore-spots on people due to her observational prowess. She is open-minded and accepting, just as she is loyal.

Special Talents: Zinnia is a skilled gymnast, as well as botanist. She enjoys tending to the family garden, to the point her parents playfully refer to it as her's. She is also bilingual (fluent in English and Spanish).

Who they like better: As with any kid, it truly depends on the day. Though, she typically gravitates to her mother.

Who they take after more: Physically, Zinnia takes after her mother. Though, her personality reflects Isidoro more.

Personal Head canon: They nicknamed her Wednesday due to her frequent stoicism and their own Gomez/Morticia dynamic.

Face Claim: Yvette Montreal

"I'm bleeding," Zeke said, only to instantly feel bad for answering so matter-of-factly. He shook his head, drawing a clenched fist up to peer at it. Even through the heat undoubtedly burning behind his eyes he could see the glass sticking out of his skin-- Isidoro would no doubt have to pull it all out.

"You don't have to clean, Isi. I can do it..."

This isn't the first time this happened hung in the silence of his trailing off, but Zeke swallowed it down. As far as Isidoro knew this was the first time he'd ever done this, and the fear that Isidoro'd think he was in danger made his stomach turn. After much delay, he finally allowed himself to lean into Isidoro's hold, hoping that it would reassure him.

Slumping into someone else's hold like this was, of course, humiliating. Though the more damning thing to Zeke was the fact that Isidoro had to catch him doing this in the first place.

"...but I'd appreciate it." He looked over his shoulder, reaching with his unharmed hand to rest it gently on the back of Isidoro's. "The clean-up, I mean.

"You're gonna wanna get the forceps." Zeke smiled slightly, hoping it was more comforting than cringe-worthy. "Some glass got into my hand." And in some fucked up way, it still felt better than the rejection.

[saveahxrse]

Isi winced initially as Zeke started to reply, not because he was taken aback by the tone, but rather because he hated the fact that his love injured himself. Isidoro had never seen Zeke like this, and he hadn't the slightest clue as to how he could possibly help him through whatever transpired.

So when Zeke leaned back against him, Isidoro closed his eyes and and let out a soft sigh of relief.

Lifting his forehead from the nape of the taller man's neck, Isidoro offered a warm smile as he met his gaze. "Maybe I should run you a bath then, yeah? It'll be easier to clean you off," he offered, deciding it was better not to emphasize that it might help him calm down more, too.

With a quick kiss to his shoulder, Isidoro pulled away- slowly so he didn't let his love fall- and instructed, "Stay still for a bit," as he stepped away. He grabbed a raggedy towel and used it to wipe away some of the shards before grabbing another to use as a makeshift rug towards the bath. Turning on the water, he silently guided Zeke to sit on the edge of the tub before moving to clean the shards on the ground.

Every few moments as he thoroughly but quickly cleaned up the glass and assembled the items he'd need to patch the other up, his gaze flickered to Zeke as if to check that he was still okay.

"I love you," he offered in a barely audible voice.

He wasn't certain what he should say, but maybe Zeke just needed that reminder, anyway.
