☝️ (Tap muse on the shoulder)

There’s really no such thing as off-duty for a police lieutenant. Even when he isn’t getting a call from a subordinate or superior with a problem that needs fixing, just being outside his home is an invitation for ‘the job’ to creep up on him. He can say it isn’t his problem, but it is. And even when he’s in the middle of lunch ( peacefully alone ), he can’t ignore a young child attempting to get his attention. 

“Hey, kid--” Setting his sandwich down on the crinkled foil it was served in, he wipes his hands on a napkin before shifting in his seat to direct himself more towards her. He scans the immediate area; finding no concerned parents and hearing no distressed shouts, he looks back down to her.

“Are you okay? You lost?” With nothing on him to readily identify him as an officer, it worries him that a young girl would just approach a strange man she doesn’t know, but he can at least be grateful she’s approaching the right strange man. His badge is pulled, quickly flashed, and tucked away again. 

“It’s okay, I’m a cop. I can help you get back home.”

Is she cutting it a little close? Maybe, but cut her some slack, it's not like she's ever had to remember birthdays before, and the asshole hadn't mentioned it at all. She'll have to yell at him for that later. Right now, she's sliding a card under his door, chunky and filled with glitter that she hopes gets stuck in his hair for at least a week, a note telling him to get his ass dressed and down to the surf and turf place on the next block so they can eat until they puke.

               he cursed at the glitter that would absolutely not be washing out of his socks, or his hair, any time soon. but the note was nice. the sentiment, was also nice. eliot was putting on actual clothes, instead of his pajamas (it’s hard but he always tries to sleep in a little bit on his birthday (he usually fails)) and is heading out to meet her. he couldn’t turn it down. he loves it. and he loves that she knows that. and honestly... what a good way to spend his birthday anyway. how she found out, he doesn’t know, but he’s not going to question.

"I'm not going to let anything happen to you."

PROTECTEE/PROTECTOR || @childzerozeronine 

    “ i don’t think that’s meant to be your line. ” it astounds vanya that someone so young could sound so confident. she couldn’t even sound that confident making her coffee order in the morning. but she also knows she isn’t in any kind of position to be offering protection and she’s already well acquainted with the age old adage that looks can be deceiving. “ maybe we should just... try and avoid danger. ”

"Trust you."

Prompt not found // @childzerozeronine

The words were spoken so softly, it broke Chloe’s heart. Or rather, it presented a feeling more like damage was made to her systems. Had the girl ever really trusted anyone before? Was it easier for her to trust the first kind person she came across? Or was it harder, and thus a more celebratory occasion that Chloe had gained her trust?

Regardless of the answer, she gently took the girl’s hand and gave it a small squeeze. “I’ll always be here for you.”

"Here he comes."

Prompt not found // @childzerozeronine

Her hands were gentle on the child’s shoulders, blue eyes holding her gaze. “It’s okay. It’s going to be okay. I won’t let anyone or anything hurt you. I promise.”

"We can't just take in a stray off the street."

                   “But he needs a home! Look,” She’s holding the kitten carefully to her chest, almost like a baby. She’s wrapped him in her jacket to shelter him from the worst the storm had to offer. “I’ll take care of him all by myself, okay? I’ll get all his food, clean up after him. You won’t even know he’s here! Promise! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaase?”

"Eternal peace is probably overrated."

“Probably, though I never really got any peace.” Not that he would ever trade being there to help his brother for peace. As horrible as it was to watch Klaus go through all of that he was extremely grateful he was able to be there for him.

“Where did you come from?” Hugh cast his gaze across the lobby, his footsteps stopping dead in the cavernous, gloomy hall. Sure, the place was open to the public, but she didn’t look like “the public.” That, and the place was closed. She looked lost.
