011. in the dining room building a home: a gingerbread home! decorate the home and make it one fit for a little gingerbread man

♡ . . . ┊ 𝐒𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒: 𝐂𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐌𝐀𝐒 𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 / status: accepting!

hands working as strategically and patiently as possible, the gilbert home homey and cozy with christmas lights in every room. a big fluffy christmas tree centered in the quaint living room. all the outside windows adorned wreathes. lights around each threshold, on the inside and outside. even the bathrooms are decorated with holiday themed rugs and wash cloths, just like the kitchen. the scent of aunt judith's pot roast deliciously filling up the kitchen with the adjoined dining room they're sitting in. her baby sister margaret– but maggie they call her– laid back on the couch with her feet kicked up, nintendo switch in her hands, mickey's christmas carol playing on tv. aunt judy out on a date with her mystery man.

jeremy upstairs holed up in his room as per usual. and just when she's excited, thinking the cute gingerbread man house is coming along finally, the walls go caving in with the flimsy 'icing glue' that it's not holding itself together with very effectively. hands toss up, a heavy sigh sounding from elena, "okay, if this gingerbread house falls one more time... i may just check myself into a therapy session. i don't think i've channeled anger like this since... ever." she grumbles, big chocolate hues falling down on the hurtful sight, "dang it," frowning at all the hard work going to waste. "what're we going to do? because so far i'm giving up, i'm waving my white flag." using her left hand that isn't covered in sticky icing to mimic herself waving a flag. "and the gingerbread men waiting to move in, better not fault for me for having them go homeless for christmas." @4lexnilsen

continued from here .

jesúsa answered the door with her lips pursed in a frown and her brows furrowed . she didn't need to look to see who it was , knowing @4lexnilsen and his punctuality and thoughtfulness , so already she was waving her hand towards the kitchen . she'd disconnected the smoke detector ages ago , and it was good that she had as surely the building would have been evacuated by now from all the times she'd tried to cook . she felt hot and her face flushed from the frustration of it all .

❛ i think the stupid thing is broken . ❜ that was clearly it . it was the oven's fault , not jesúsa's . or maybe the recipe , or the apartment , or the grocery store , or something besides her own lack of skill . the air was misty from the smoke and a fan was carefully positioned to blow most of it out of a nearby open window . ❛ i leave it for two minutes to get dressed and it burns everything ! ❜ and maybe she took longer than a few minutes , but she'd already decided that this couldn't be her fault .

jesúsa is so focused on her anger at the oven and the sheet of coal-like cookies that she hardly noticed his hesitation at first . she'd never been one for the whole super hero thing , and she'd honestly barely known who lois lane even was . wasn't she a reporter or an assistant or something ? jesúsa had taken that thought and rolled with it , sporting a costume consisting of a tight fitting button down opened just enough for a peek of red lace underneath , a small black skirt , and black thigh high tights .

she hadn't intended to shock him , but looking at his reddened face and neck and that crooked smile with just the hint of a super man shirt beneath his button up was too much . her lips parted in a wide grin , goofy in that way that was reserved for him , and she was laughing . ❛ i guess i'm not lois lane ? ❜ she squeezed out between giggles while she shut the door behind alex . ❛ what does that one movie say ? the hottest girls wear lingerie with animal ears and call it a costume ? ❜ mean girls . ❛ should i change ? ❜

( accepting ! )ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ❛ someone who loves you wouldn't do this . ❜

❛ lisichka , ❜ her father's voice words slurred from exhaustion when he picked up the phone after the fourth time that yekaterina called him . the pet name only stoked the fire that was burning in her belly , and she ground her teeth together to keep from yelling . he continued in russian , ❛ did you get my message earlier ? ❜

she couldn't help herself and scoffed , one arm crossed over her chest as the other held the phone to her ear . ❛ your message ? about the $150 that left my account this morning ? that one ? ❜ her cheeks were burning , surely flushed red by now , as were her ears . her father yawned on the other side of the phone and she heard the rustle of him rising from his bed .

❛ i only borrowed it , dear . ❜ alexander ivanovich cleared his throat , his voice sounding as though it was no big deal . yekaterina clenched her fist and began to pace around her dorm in an effort to spend all of the furious energy that was brewing inside of her . ❛ i will pay you back when i get another job . . . besides , you always make it back quickly . rent was due and i was in a tight spot , katyusha ㅤ ❜

❛ you're always in a tight spot ! ❜ she yelled , throwing her free hand up . ❛ i needed that money for my own bills . what am i going to do now ? tell the school that my father took it from me for gambling ?! ❜ yekaterina felt the first tear , hot and angry , spill down her face as her father stayed silent on the other end of the call .

❛ look , it's not as bad as you're making it , lisichka ㅤ ❜ somewhere in the back of her mind , yekaterina thought that she heard a quiet knock on her door . a knot built in her throat until each breath hurt . she wiped at her face with the back of her hand .

❛ do not call me that . i'm taking you off of everything ! ❜ there was another tense silence , and that time yekaterina did her the second knock . she turned to face the door but hesitated in moving forward . her father was protesting , talking about how she had turned on him , how she needed to care for him , her father , when yekaterina hung up and tossed the phone on the plush chair that was far too big for the room .

she wiped at her face with both eyes and took a deep , shuddering breath before she cracked open the door . on the other side stood @4lexnilsen , the boy she'd met a few months ago from the library , his hand raised as though he was about to knock again . had he heard her yelling from his own room ? was that why he was here , or was he coming to study ? she tried to recall if they had made plans for alex to study with her today before she had checked her bank account , but everything prior to then seemed blurry .

❛ oh . . . were you . . . were we going to study today ? ❜ she asked , voice quiet and thick . she closed the door just to remove the chain and then opened it up a little wider . she looked an absolute mess , blotchy face and all . her cheeks flushed a deep red and she wiped at her face again . ❛ let me freshen up and i'll . . . i'll be right back . just put my phone on the charger if you sit in the chair ? ❜

@4lexnilsen sent , ❛ [ STORM ] ❜

sigrún stirred when she felt something be placed over her , the smell of cedar that always clung to alex suddenly filling her nose . she reached towards her shoulder where she felt the soft fabric of the jacket alex had been wearing and had draped over her . a smile tugged on her lips and she tugged the jacket a little tighter around her shoulders .

it was so late that the airport was nearly silent save for the quiet whispers of people like them who were still waiting for their flights . sigrún pushed herself from where laid on a couch alex had found near their gate to a seated position and rubbed the sleep from her eyes . she turned towards the sound of movement as she assumed that alex had taken a seat next to her .

❛ what did they say ? are we delayed again ? ❜ she asked and stifled a yawn with the back of her hand . they'd been trying to visit her parents for the holidays near kristiansund on the wester coast of norway , but winter storms in the states seemed to be working against them since the moment they had left .

closed starter for @4lexnilsen !

colt set his tray down across from alex with a resounding bang loud enough to make a few people nearby turn their heads towards the noise . after a moment they turned their heads back to their own food and colt took his seat across from the blonde . the skin on his jaw was purpling from where alex had landed a good punch before colt was pulled away from him . he let out a deep sigh and without looking up began to spoon the soup provided by thirteen into his mouth .

❛ do you think they're still alive ? ❜ he asked , spoon still before dark eyes looked up towards alex . anger still simmered in colt's chest , but their fight had gotten a decent bit of it out of his system , at least for now . colt focused on the anger , because if he didn't then all he'd have to think on would be the worry that would drag him deeper and deeper into panic . ❛ did you see her at all before thirteen grabbed you ? ❜

[batisms]

can i call you dad?

"––no." @4lexnilsen

[tcmpst]

@4lexnilsen liked for a starter !

niamh grunted as she sent her spear into the side of the training dummy , pulling it out and shoving it through the dummy again and again and again . fighting this stupid dummy was the only thing that kept her lucid and gave her something to focus all of this anger that burned in her heart and belly onto something . the dummy certainly showed it , filled with holes and leaking whatever stuffed it onto the floor , ready to rip apart at the seams after niamh had spent most of her day with it for the past few weeks .

she stepped forward to deliver another blow without thinking , stepping onto her bad leg and immediately it buckled . the blow merely bounced off as niamh tumbled towards the ground , letting her knee hit the ground first and a wave of pain ripped through the leg and her hip . she'd got it saving that man , alexander nilsen , the one that katniss wanted on their team . so focused on getting alex to join finnick and katniss on the other side of the cornucopia she didn't realize the male tribute from five was behind her until it was too late . her spear had found his chest but not before his knife ripped down her hip and thigh . she'd only just been able to put weight on it again in thirteen .

she'd done it because the rebels promised . because they swore to her and to finnick that annie and mags and jonah and shea would all be waiting on the hovercraft for them . what a fat load of shit that was . and to top it off they rescued everyone who would listen from twelve . for her . for katniss everdeen . niamh grit her teeth so hard it was a wonder she hadn't cracked one yet when she heard the shifting of movement behind her . probably someone coming to collect her again , to inject something into her that would put her to sleep or drag her off to who knows where .

❛ i said i wanted to be left the fuck alone . ❜ niamh yelled over her shoulder . she was trying to catch her breath and let the pain fade before pushing herself back onto her feet .
