wake up to the sound of your fleeting heart

oh, i'm feeling fine, we've made it to the coastline Sheena Warren. Reluctant soul thrown into the world, scrambling to make sense of the shambles around her.

Howard looked to the side and shook his head. An ugly feeling rose in his throat. “Yeah? Well tell him–” He quickly slipped his shaking hands in his pockets. ”Tell him he doesn’t have to and that I’m doing just fine.”

[sheenawarren]

Sheena could tell how distressed she’d made Howard by the way he avoided her eyes. Shame pooled in a blush on her cheeks. “Okay. I will. I’m sorry, Howard. I’m so sorry.” She wished she hadn’t brought it up, of course Aidan was still a bad subject. “Look, let me buy you a coffee or something to calm you down. We don’t have to talk about this anymore.”

“And those Californians complaining about the heat - uh, we would love to let you borrow some rain.” Cordelia smiled, “At least we’re warmer than the North Pole…I hope.” 

[sheenawarren]

“Oh my god, if we could trade rain for heat I’d be all for it. Warm up the east and reduce the drought in the west.” She shook her head, an amused smile playing across her lips. “I think we’re getting damn close. The pole’s been pretty warm in past years, thanks to climate change.”

“Oh no. I definitely don’t like cold weather. I would kill to live in like Hawaii or something. But we can definitely do without any more cold weather! I seriously just want the sun to shine for once instead of it being frozen outside.”

[sheenawarren]

“Well, that changes things. Why don’t you move out there? Or to California or something? Then there’s never really anything freezing, no matter what month.”

“I love sweet things best of all. Raspberries are delicious too, especially with dark chocolate.” Hannah chuckles softly. “I’m sorry I keep bringing up food.”

[sheenawarren]

“You and your naturally sweet disposition can have strawberries, I’ll take my semi sour raspberries and attitude and be content.” Sheena laughed. “It’s alright. I can’t blame you, food is great.”

It had been a long day. Sheena was barely a week into classes and things already seemed like a blur. When she’d shown up to her Intro to Bio lecture that morning, she’d been forced into a seat near the back of the lecture hall, which normally wouldn’t have been an issue, but for the fact that she’d also forgotten her glasses in her room. A hour and a half later, she was struggling to get out the doors when someone knocked her into a wall. She resisted the urge to snap at whoever had shoved her, instead biting her lip and shouldering her bag before filing the rest of the way out of the room. If this is what college is like, Sheena thought to herself as she trekked back across campus to her dorm, then the next four years are going to be hell.

She’d narrowly avoided a scene when one of the kids at the campus coffee shop put her face to a name and had tried to strike up a conversation. It wasn’t possible to fly below the radar, of course, after her face had been plastered all over every TV in America only two short years before, but this was a new place. New school, new me, she thought, grimacing slightly at the cliche and the scalding drink she sipped as she walked away. It was only a matter of time before everyone knew who she was, but she wanted to at least try to make her own path before people tried to connect her to her father and use her as leverage. 

She was in a bit of a daze when she got up to her dorm room, so much so that she entirely missed the other figure in the hallway. She’d tossed her nearly-empty drink in the trashcan by the elevator and was digging in her pocket for her keys when it occurred to her that she hadn’t put her room key on her key ring yet. “Fuck,” she breathed, leaning her head against the door. Her roommate was in class, she knew that for sure. Her only hope was that, in her morning stupor, she’d remembered to slip it into her bag. Well, there was only one way to find out.

Sheena Warren and Aidan Blum [1/?]

“Sometimes you break your heart in the right way, if you know what I mean.”

“I know, what a shock. It’s hard to cover when you have a face likes this. Few people think about the rest of the package. Thank you.” His voice was light, movements fluid. “You’re right we don’t know what will be taken next from me. This is such a fun game to play. I wouldn’t this to be too much for you. Or were you into it last time?” Aidan laughs at his own question, not sure if he will ever be able to let go of their first meeting. Aidan wasn’t sure that he would have had it any other way. And now, despite everything, they didn’t care about each other any less. They didn’t turn away. He found himself surprisingly relieved for someone who was flighty when it came to both platonic and romantic relationships. “Is there anything you can’t do? I’m not sure to be offended or flattered, but I’ll take the offer. As long as my name goes first when we sign them.”

[sheenawarren]

"Hey, you've got brains. It's about time people start to recognize that. You're much more than just a pretty face." She grinned. "So this is a game, huh? Hide your clothes and see how Sheena reacts? See how much shit you can get away with until you have to put on clothes?" She raised an eyebrow as she closed the distance between them, leaning up to murmur in his ear. "If it's the latter, then you're going to have to play dirty in order to win." A smirk rose to her lips as she pulled away, trailing a finger down his neck to his chest. Sheena never felt any need to shy away from things with Aidan, and now was no different. If he was going to play games with her, so be it. She wouldn't back down. "There's only a few things, though the list is dwindling. But of course, Aidan. You are the one with a degree in music."

Next thing we know, cats will be barking and dogs will be meowing and sharknados will be building across the horizon. 

[sheenawarren]

“I always wondered how the sharks were alive in the tornado. Even if they were dead, it would still be pretty bad. Can you imagine getting hit with the body of a dead Great White? That’d hurt like a bitch.”

[princeofthievves-blog-blog]

“I always did say the world would end in ice,” he sighed dramatically, though there was an air of artlessness about him. “Want my coat?”

[sheenawarren]

“This winter did seem damn close to the end of the world.” Sheena couldn’t help but crack a smile. “I’m fine. Thank you, though.” It was odd, having Harry transplanted straight back into her life- it felt as if the gap in time was larger than what had truly passed. It wasn’t awkward, per se, just different. Odd.  "How's the winter treated you?"

[nike-natalia-blog]

“Tell me about it, I’m from California where the sun is always shining.”

[sheenawarren]

“Everyone keeps telling me to move there because I complain about the weather a lot. No matter how appealing it seems, I can’t sacrifice real winter.”

[cordeliahyde]

“Fickle? Nice SAT vocabulary - very upper echelon.” Cordelia cracked a half-smile. “We should? But can we? Probably not. Not until July at least.” 

[sheenawarren]

“I would try to top that, but I don’t think my vocabulary is that large.” Sheena laughed. “It’s a damn shame. The rest of the country is warming up but we’re stuck in this polar vortex still.”

[ladykhione-blog]

“Yeah, you’re probably right. Probably just means when I attack Aidan in bed, he’s in more pain than I am. Wait––That came out bad.” 

“Pretty good, chica! How about you?” 

[sheenawarren]

“I honestly don’t know what you were trying to say, but somehow it’s alright. I don’t really question anything with you two anymore.”

“Pretty good as well. Work has been keeping me busy but it was sort of nice to have nothing distracting me.”

[howardplxtt-deactivated20150711]

It was amusing how fast his features morphed from enlightened to sour. “That’s the second time I’ve been asked that.”

[sheenawarren]

“Oh, Howard, I’m sorry.” The look on his face dropped a lead weight of guilt into the pit of her stomach. “He was really worried about you, is all. I’m sorry for bringing it up. We can talk about something else.”

[blairewu]

“Ugh, right? I feel like I’m going to freeze my ass over here while practically everyone else gets the warm weather! I don’t think I can handle a second winter.”

[sheenawarren]

“Exactly! It’s not that I don’t like cold weather, it’s that we’ve had enough already this year. I just want sunshine and green leaves, thank you very much.”

[memento-moros-deactivated201808]

“If you like the warm weather so much, why not head south? I hear the Florida Keys are lovely this time of year.”

[sheenawarren]

“Frankly, that’s a bit too warm. I just want springtime, not continuous winter, you know?.”
