[ 📲 • sms ] —— Hey, I'm in town for a few more days, do you wanna hang out tomorrow?

Brandon pushes a keyboard he was trying to fix away from him as he heard his phone go off on the table behind him. He turned around and picked up his phone, grinning at it like the goof that he actually was.

@aworldfullofmuses gets a starter with Tahirah! (for Ethan)

Tahirah, being 5″3, couldn’t always see if someone happened to be approaching, so sometimes she’d bump into people by accident. 

As she bumped into *this* person, however, she realized two things.

1. He was probably taller.

2. He was handsome.

She blushed, gazing up at him softly.

“S-sorry....”

@aworldfullofmuses wanted a starter from Devlin!

People still went to the circus? That was the first idea that came into Devlin’s mind when he saw the flyer that morning. He did not know why but he thought the concept of the circus was something old, like from the 1900s but maybe he just had not heard of modern day circuses. They would be visiting this town in Southern Georgia where Devlin, as one of the heirs to the Purefoy Mansion was going through his mail, saw the ad depicting the performance to be here and tonight.

He also did not know what made him decide to go without any hesitation or further thought, but he did. It was as if an invisible thread had pulled him here, one of curiosity and enchantment for what was to come. The seats were decent, not having to be squished between people at least. Devlin was glad, though. The son of the mage had a body temperature fluctuated from normal to increasingly, scalding hot. Hence why the material on his body were made with a flame resistant substance- which might further come in handy given that there was an act that involved flames.

Not that he thought there was going to be much danger, for the audience that is.

The Fire dancer. That is what she was called, and he was stunned. The performance might have gone for a while but he seemed to have lost track of the time, and even place as he felt transported with his transfixed gaze on her. 

“You were excellent,” he went up to her after the performance was long over, and they were outside. “My name’s Devlin, and yours?” They did not mention her name when the ringmaster announced her, but he had to know.

He stared at Lou, dumbstruck. Time froze, everything around him seemed to just stop, including his heart. It was momentary and over within a second, the beating in his chest suddenly quickening and pounding hard against his ribcage. His mouth felt parched and a lump formed in his throat that didn’t go away no matter how hard he swallowed or cough to clear it. For a moment, he thought he heard wrong - or maybe she was joking? No, of course not - who would joke about that? He found his voice and took breath.

“…Uhhh…”

Almost instantly, she wished she could swallow those words right back up. Of course she hadn’t expected Abraham to fall over himself with joy or anything like that, but this reaction could have been better. Lou was scared and nervous too and she didn’t know what to do, but that didn’t stop her from making decisions, tough or otherwise.

“I don’t-- I don’t expect anythin’ from you. I just, um... I thought you should know, since you’re the father and all, but you don’t have to--- I know this isn’t ideal, I KNOW, but please---” She had to stop herself so she could recollect her thoughts. “I’m goin’ to keep the baby. I’m fine raisin’ them on my own. I just wanted to do my due diligence by lettin’ you know. You don’t have to do anythin’, okay? I just... Yeah...”

@aworldfullofmuses liked for a thang!

This wasn’t an arranged meeting, but it’s not unusual for the pair to bump into one another at the cafe. He knows it’s one of her ‘usual’ spots, and because Devon gravitates towards familiarity, it’s slowly become his too. They’re at the same booth as always, and he slides his old, roughed-up phone across the table, a photo of a scraggly looking kitten on the cracked screen. “He keeps getting bigger,” And despite the frown on the man’s face, he isn’t pissed off (and hopefully, Oakley knows that by now). “Little fucker eats more than Monty does now. Oh,” Now he frowns for real. “Still haven’t named him though.”

Truthfully, Devon didn’t want to in case he wouldn’t be a permanent resident of the Miller household.

Imagine the first time Rex says 'I love you' to Hailey.

@aworldfullofmuses I am mad at you bc you gave me the wheel and I do not know how to write other people’s characters.

But here goes nothing.

“Get your claws off that! It’s mine, Rex!”

Hailey mustered all her upper body strength to climb onto his shoulders. She reached for the 600-calorie chocolate bar in his hands, but he evaded her and had the audacity to try to shake her off. “In your dreams, Poodle.”

“I’m much bigger than a poodle and if you eat my chocolate I WILL EAT YOU, Rex Howard!” To prove her point, Hailey bit into his shoulder. He only laughed in response, which made her try a second time, harder.

Rex was clearly winning. He wasn’t much taller than her, but the amount of muscle mass he had on her was so unfair! Hailey refused to fall off, but that didn’t matter because he’d started unwrapping the chocolate in front of her.

“Rude!!!” she shouted, nearly screaming, and did what she knew best.

She dropped off his back and reached for his waist instead of his shoulders. After wrapping her arms around his middle, she let her hands rest on his belly. Then, she began to run against his shirt.

“Give me my chocolate back!” she demanded. “Who’s a good boy? Who’s the good boy who will give me my chocolate back?”

Rex laughed at her petty attempts. He did love belly rubs, but it wasn’t like he couldn’t resist them. “You are so cute. But I’m not giving you your chocola–”

Before he could finish, Hailey tackled his with her whole weight. It probably only worked because she had the element of surprise, but she managed to bodyslam Rex down onto the couch, causing the chocolate to drop from his hands. Hailey immediately began going after it, but he grabbed her by her wrists before she could get far. She wriggled against him, but before she could even verbally protest, he had her pinned on the couch under him.

“Thought you could beat me, Poodle?” he boasted, his grin showing slightly pointed canines. “Well, think again.”

Hailey made a face. “Assbutt.”

Rex laughed again, but this time, he was the one who cut himself off when he kissed her.

Hailey inhaled deeply in response before she returned his kiss. By time, Rex let go of her wrists to cup her face instead. His gentle, slow kisses made their way to her jawline before he finally stopped.

As she looked up at him, Hailey felt extremely soft, extremely breakable, and unimaginably light.

Rex said, “I love you, Hailey.”

Hailey’s heart dissolved in her chest like an oil spill. For the fraction of a second, she forgot how to breathe. The moment she remembered, she replied, “I love you, too, Rex.”

 “by the time i was your age, i already had made more than my fair share of deals.” of course, back then, everyone wanted their slice of heaven and redemption. not to mention it was during the crusades - so there was that. “you could be more you know,” he said bluntly. “much more.”

“Did I tell you it’s my birthday?” Sophie asked, glancing over at Will as she took a sip of her juice. She wasn’t sure whether to say anything or not, unsure if he was really into the whole celebrating thing. It had always been a big deal to her, but once she ended up on her own she didn’t do much, just try to milk some free shots from whoever was at the bar that night. 

Maybe she could actually do something this year. 

“I’m twenty five. Officially what I call old,” she joked, hair falling in her face as a soft chuckle escaped her lips, “Soon I’m gonna have gray hair and shit.”
