.       it takes a moment for bobby to recognize the other in turn, eyes searching over him for any sign of injury before flicking up to his face and seeing the red eyes he’d never seen in anyone else. ❝ oh my god, ryder? ❞ it HAS been a long time, years certainly since they both graduated from xavier’s and went on separate paths to college and wherever life led them.

      ❝ man, you look good! what’ve ya been up to? ❞

“Why’re you so nervous?”

Jonathan looks up from the sink, soapy sponge in hand. Connor’s got an eyebrow cocked, watching his roommate scrub the same clean plate for about three minutes. Jonathan shuts off the water and drops the sponge. “I’m not nervous.”

Rather than dignifying the lie with a response, Connor flops onto the couch and says, “He’s your cousin, not the queen.”

Under his breath, Jonathan says, “He may not be the queen, but he’s certainly a queen.”

“Okay, Will Truman, let’s take the internalized homophobia down a few notches, shall we?”

Jonathan sighs. “You’re right. I’m...I’m sorry. It’s just...” He grabs a dish towel off of the counter and dries his hands. “I was a dick to him, you know? Like, our entire childhood. Especially when he moved in, after...”

Connor nods. “After his parents kicked him out for being a mutant. I’m aware.”

Avoiding his gaze, Jonathan continues, “I was jealous, and I was angry, and I was an asshole, okay? And now he’s here in town, and he’s giving me the chance to make things right.”

Connor’s silent for a while, examining his cuticles. “And why do you want to make things right? Why now?”

“Connor.” Connor doesn’t look up. “Connor.” Jonathan sits beside him on the couch. “Connor, come on.”

Connor’s eyes finally flash up, and there’s something roiling in them. “You haven’t even talked through it with me, and I’m not a family member you ostracized years ago.”

“Look, I’m trying, okay? This is me, trying.” 

“Thanks so much for the effort.” The words don’t have the bite Connor had intended, because in truth, he knows this is an effort for Jonathan. He sighs. “All I’m saying is, reconnecting with the cousin you hated for being a mutant isn’t going to magically make your anti-mutant prejudices go away. This is going to take a lot of work.”

Jonathan places a hand on Connor’s knee. “I know that.”

“I mean, it’s not like I showed my parents Milk and overnight they were sponsoring pride floats, you know?”

“Now who’s nervous?”

Connor’s eyes narrow, but before he can retort, there’s a knock at the door. His eyebrows flick upward. “Here we go.”

Jonathan takes a deep breath and pushes himself off of the couch. It’s only a few feet to the apartment door, and he lets his finger rest on the handle for a moment before slowly opening the door.

“Hey, you go ahead of me.” Ryder gestured for the cute guy with the curly hair behind him in line at the coffee shop to step in front of him. “I don’t know what I want yet.”

Daniel looks up from his phone in surprise. There’s a pair of piercing blue eyes staring at him. “Oh. Um. Thanks.” Suddenly nervous, he slides around this uncommonly hot guy to smile at the barista. “Can I get an espresso and one of those biscotti?” He pauses. “Two biscotti, actually, one for me and one for this guy.” He gestures back to the man behind him.

                          “Woah... Your eyes are pretty cool looking.”

[exosevenfalcon]

“You look very different than your profile picture. You're much hotter in person.”

Sam flicked his tongue over his bottom lip before smiling. “You too, though you only had your abs in yours I was worried your face wouldn’t be as fine.”

[danielcooperrp]

i’m kidding! … half kidding. (for connor)

Connor’s eyebrows fly upward in surprise. “Are you out of your mind? Listen, I get that you’re pissed at Jonathan. Half the time, I’m pissed at Jonathan, too. I’m not trying to pretend he’s perfect, that he hasn’t made a lot of mistakes, but he’s trying. He’s trying to make a difference, to make a change, so yeah, I don’t care if you’re kidding, I’m not going to sleep with you to stick one to your cousin.”

She frowns and groans, holding her head. “I have no idea. I think I got a little too drunk last night and hit my head...maybe?” Her nose wrinkled a little bit and she peered up at him.

random questions for character building (and fun)@axonsfiring

24. opinion on horror films?

Opinion 1: Vivian loves Jhorror.  She’s spent time living in Japan and understands a great deal of the culture, so when she watches Jhorror she’s very aware of the fact that she’s standing astride this line dividing Hollywood horror culture and Japanese horror culture - and she rather enjoys being able to watch, enjoy, and analyze the films from both perspectives.  Plus a lot of elements of Jhorror appeal to her more than the often more gore-soaked horror films coming out of Hollywood.

Opinion 2: Vivian adores the concept of the Final Girl.  She can’t stand any film that uses the concept and then, in the last 30 seconds, turns around and says “or did she survive AFTER ALL?!”  The whole fucking point of the Final Girl is that she survives, and carries that survival with her.

Opinion 3: Vivian likes subtlety in her horror films.  She likes the slowly creeping realization that something is wrong, deeply wrong, and that wrongness isn’t explained until the final chapter.  This isn’t exactly surprising as her father was a fan of Hitchcock and, among the various other movies Vivian was introduced to at inappropriately young ages, introduced his daughter to his favorites.  

25. do they have allergies?

Answered here

26. do they have a certain aesthetic or style?

Not really.  I mean, I honestly don’t know where to really begin in explaining this.  Vivian is a creature largely driven by necessity and practicality.  Aesthetics or styles don’t really ever cross her mind outside of ‘wow I wish I could pull that off’.
